Hearing Xiao Liuzi say that there is a way to break the level, Luan Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What strategy can break the level?" ”
Xiao Liuzi talked eloquently, "Lord Qiyu...... Eight years ago, he was pardoned by the adults, and the younger one was able to serve as soldiers in the Tiger Prison with a dozen brothers who were captured together with the robbery of the adults that day. Thanks to the adult, in the past few years, several brothers have been mixed, and several of them have worked to the end, and the younger one has become a school captain. He stayed in Tiger Prison for seven years. It wasn't until last year that Dong thief entered Beijing and took over the defense of Tiger Prison Pass. He sent his cronies to garrison the pass in our place, and then transferred us to this Tong pass. Mainly responsible for the defense through the southeast corner. ”
After introducing the background, Xiao Liuzi continued: "Tonight, the little one took a great risk to climb the rope out of the pass just to suggest that when the adults attack the city tomorrow, they should focus on attacking the southeast corner of the pass. At that time, our brotherhood will assist your soldiers on the wall. With this breakthrough, why worry about the city not being broken? After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Luan Yi, but when he saw that Luan Yi was indifferent and unmoved, he couldn't help panting in his heart, and secretly said, "How come Lord Luan didn't react with such a desperate strategy?" ”
Luan Yi paused and said, "I'll think about it again!" ”
"But don't you believe me?" Xiao Liuzi had an epiphany.
&nb(sp; No wonder Luan Yi doesn't believe it. In the previous battle, Luan Yi had paid a great price for trusting others, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Bai died because of this.
Xiao Liuzi said again, "If the adults don't believe it, the little ones dare to stay in the camp as hostages, and it will not be too late for the adults to take the city pass." ”
"Oh?" Luan Yi felt a little relieved and explained: "It's not that Yi spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but there is no room for sloppiness on the battlefield." Yi has to think more about the safety of the lives of his soldiers! ”
"Small savings!"
When Xiao Liuzi spoke, Luan Yi stared at him with a pair of tiger eyes. Seeing that his face and expression were no different, he became more and more reassured. "In this way, I will bother Brother Feng to suffer some grievances and stay in the camp for a while."
Xiao Liuzi nodded. In fact, the moment he climbed down from Tongguan, it already meant that he could not return to the other side of the high wall before Tongguan fell.
Luan Yi asked, "That's right." How many brothers in Kannai responded to us? ”
"There are more than 200 people under our brothers, and they are all reliable!"
200 people! That's enough. Luan Yi nodded, "Have you asked for it before you came?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, it's all entrusted! They won't do anything to the soldiers! In fact, on the battlefield today, they deliberately missed their bows and arrows, and did not kill them. It's just that when rushing through the pass, the adults' soldiers and horses mainly attacked the city gate, and did not launch a strong attack on the southeast wall, so we never had a chance to help. can only lie dormant in secret, waiting for a good opportunity. The younger ones went out of the city overnight to report to the adults! ”
"You're doing the right thing!" Luan Yi nodded in praise.
Faced with the sudden arrival of new information, Luan Yi had to redeploy the strategy set last night. He knows very well the importance of today's battle, and the opportunity to break the pass is close at hand, and only once must he firmly grasp it and win Tongguan in one go.
So, after sending Feng Liu away, he immediately summoned a general. After a short period of deliberation, it was agreed to change the original single vanguard to a double vanguard.
Guan Yu led the Shentong battalion plus 3,000 guards on the right, and the Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers borrowed Kong Rong 5,000 elite soldiers on the left, one left and one right like a poisonous scorpion's double pincers, with their own rushing ladders, mainly attacking the Tongguan gate. In fact, it is said to be the main attack, but it is actually a feint. In order to prevent Guo Yan from discovering the intention of the church army to attack the southeast corner in advance, he sent troops to support.
Xu Chu was the main one, Dian Wei was the auxiliary, and another 5,000 soldiers and horses were killed, and the main attacker of their trip was the tail of the poisonous scorpion. Under the cover of the vanguard, they will go around to the southeast of the city pass and launch a fierce attack on the southeast wall. Taishi Cishuai's 3,000-strong army is waiting for support at any time.
If the strategy is implemented smoothly, Feng Liu's subordinates on the wall will assist Xu Chu and them to ascend the city. Once you're on the wall, the rest of the battle is much easier.
As soon as the city pass is broken, Luan Yi will bring the three armies to flock to the top.
On the fifth watch, the church army went out of the camp and lined up in an array. With the rumbling of war drums.
Guan Yu stroked his beard, raised the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, and shouted: "For the glory of the Holy Mother!" ”
"Amen!" 5,000 shouts in unison, 5,000 footsteps clattered the earth.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan also led the troops out of the battle, "Kill!" ”
"Kill!" The momentum of the elite soldiers of the 5,000 Kong Rong Army is not bad, but the roars of Ying He come and go, and they are a little uneven.
The two attacked 10,000 horses, moving slowly on the plain in front of the pass, and only when they were 300 steps away from Tongguan did they take a big step and rush to attack.
"Kill......"
At the head of Tongguan City, Guo Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw that the vanguard soldiers and horses attacking the city today were about twice as many as yesterday. "Drop the arrows, release the arrows, and press them back for General Ben."
"Buzzing ......" arrows flew down the city pass overwhelmingly, smashing into the dense siege army.
"One" Guan Yu gave an order, and one shield after another was raised high, blocking most of the arrows that flew quickly. "Dangdangdang...... Yes...... Dangdang...... Yes! ”
A round of arrows rained down, and only dozens of people died in the church phalanx. However, Kong Rongjun fell as many as 200 people. The difference between the two is immediately separable.
"Four". In the center of the Church formation, the shield soldiers flashed to the side, revealing the bow group that was ready to attack. More than 1,000 curved bows stretched to the full moon, sharp arrows flashing with cold light, under the command of neat orders, took off the strings and soared into the sky, falling into the high wall. or pierced into the female wall, or inserted into the wall of the arrow tower. Puzzled, he skillfully avoided the female wall and fell among the Xiliang soldiers hiding behind the female wall.
Blood gushed out, and a terrible scream pierced the sky.
Guan Yu, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan led the army to launch a crazy attack against the rain of arrows.
After resisting 3 rounds of arrow rain, the church's soldiers and horses were still vigorous and murderous.
The morale of the Kong Rong army under the command of Xiahoudun has obviously dropped a lot. More and more soldiers were held back by the fear of the bows and arrows that fell from heaven. The fear spread like the flu, and more and more people trembled and hesitated.
However, instead of saving their lives, this move hastened their deaths.
The number of casualties in the military formation increased exponentially, and the more people died, the more fearful the soldiers became, and the more fearful the death, the more people died, forming a vicious circle. At the moment of the fourth round of arrow rain, deserters began to appear in the array. One person fled, and the people around him also turned around and fled. It was a clear rout.
All this was expected by Luan Yi, and he quickly asked Xiahou to retreat his troops and horses, and transferred Chu and Dian Wei to support him. He also sent Zhang Fei to lead the Shenpan camp to follow the sweeping array.
At the head of the city, Guo Yan watched Xiahoudun and his party slowly retreat, and couldn't help but smile proudly.
In yesterday's battle, he was shocked to see Luan Yi's soldiers and horses fighting and not afraid of death. Sigh: If Luan Yi's more than 40,000 soldiers and horses are so brave, I'm afraid this Tongguan will not be able to hold it. Today, it seems that Luan Yibiao's men and horses are not all brave people, but also people who are afraid of death, so things are much easier!
When thinking about it, Guo Yan's eyes never left the Xiahoudun army under the pass, as well as the Xu Chu people who rushed to support.
One advance and one retreat, in order to avoid their own families and horses colliding together, Xiahoudun and Xu Chu made unusually tacit choices.
Xiahoudun's army made a detour to the north, while Xu Chu's army made a detour to the south.
After the crossing, the direction directly opposite the marching route of Xu Chu's army became the southeast corner of the pass.
This change was reasonable, and Guo Yan did not suspect it, and instead focused on the Guan Yu Corps, which had attacked the city.
"Where's the ladder?"
More than 20 ladders were transported out from behind the formation, and under the cover of the army, they rushed to the front of the formation.
"Shoot them!" The city closed with shouts and curses. Arrows were shot one after another at the man who carried the ladder. "Rolling wood! Put! Huge stones fell from the sky, and logs roared and flew down.
Suddenly there was a blur of flesh and blood under the city wall, and there were broken corpses everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whose head it was and whose hand it was. Appalling. "Ah......h
After paying huge casualties, Guan Yujun finally put the ladder on the top of the city, "For the glory of the Holy Mother!" ”
A warrior held his sword in his mouth and crawled against the wall with his hands and feet.
The Xiliang army at the head of the city was diametrically opposed, working together, shooting arrows, pushing ladders, throwing rolling logs, and splashing boiling oil...... Use all your might to stop the besiegers from reaching the top of the city.
For a time, the siege war was in a stalemate.
At this time, Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the troops to successfully arrive under the high wall in the southeast corner of Tongguan.
The defenders at the head of the wall pretended to shoot arrows, only shooting at the ground and not people, nor throwing rolling wood and stones, nor splashing boiling oil that had already been hot, and let Xu Chujun put the cloud ladder on the city wall. Climb up with a sword.
The Xiliang soldiers of the nearby units saw that the situation was not right here, and said that the friendly troops could not hold the defensive line, so they hurriedly came over to support.
On the southeast corner, Feng Liu's brother Ge Ying rolled his eyes and shouted, "Oh no! Luan Yi's soldiers and horses are killed! "He led 200 of his men to flee in all directions, colliding with the Xiliang soldiers who came to support, blocking the reinforcements from advancing or retreating.
"Waste, get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, Luan Yi's people will be killed. The reinforcements cursed.
Ge Ying made such a fuss, and a large area in the southeast corner of Tongguan was empty. Leave Xu Chu and Dian Wei plenty of time to go to the city.
In an instant, more than 20 guards came to the city with large swords. Xu Chu and Dian Wei also climbed to the end of the ladder one after another.
As soon as Ge Ying saw that the time had come, he raised the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Kill the thief!" ”
The Biao men and horses who rushed to support also said that Ge Ying and they were going to turn around and kill the guards of the city, but they never thought that the sharp broadsword would fall on them under the flying.
Suddenly poisoned at such a close distance, where did the Xiliang soldiers come from to deal with it, and more than a hundred Xiliang soldiers died in an instant under the hands of "their own people".
Ge Ying agreed in advance to let his brothers wrap white cloth around their arms to show the difference between himself and other Western Liang soldiers.
