The next day, it was just dawn. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Drink, hey......"
The neat trumpet outside the pass alarmed the defenders, and the dense Cao soldiers on the official road in the distance supported a behemoth, looking from a distance, it looked like a group of ants dragging a huge insect, which was extremely conspicuous in a large array of Cao soldiers, which made people feel powerless and frightened in the bottom of their hearts.
When Zhang Hu saw it, he was immediately startled, Cao Cao even omitted a tentative attack and attacked directly! Busy commanding the soldiers to prepare for the attack: "Tung oil, stone ready!" Rocketeer prepare! Don't let the rush get close to close the door! ”
Li Damu went straight to a trebuchet and pushed the trebuchet to aim at the rushing car that Cao Jun was slowly pushing in the distance. Diao Chan rushed forward from a distance to stop him: "Don't use the catapult first, use the thunderbolt first." ”
"Why? I'm going to smash the rushing cars outside the gate! Li Damu continued to push the catapult and look for directions.
"The catapult is very powerful, and the accuracy is not high, so it is difficult to hit the rushing car of the thief. It is better to leave it first, and use its range and power to deter the enemy generals, so that they do not dare to easily come forward and command the soldiers. Diao Chan said what was in his heart. The defenders are insufficient, and it is very troublesome for the catapult to fill the stone, and it takes two or three hundred soldiers to complete, according to the power of Wuguan, the catapult filled with this stone shoots out, and there is no strength to continue to fill. Keeping a powerful weapon is more frustrating than running out early.
"How should I keep that?" Li Damu cried with a sad face, it was too nerve-wracking to defend the city, and he preferred to rush into the enemy line and solve the problem with violence.
Diao Chan thought for a while and said: "Cao Bing is new, it is a miracle to be able to build a rushing car overnight, there can be no more, splash the rushing car with tung oil, as long as the rushing car is burned, Wuguan will be safe for the time being, and when Cao Jun creates siege equipment again, our reinforcements should have arrived." The task now is to leave 50 men to attack the enemy's main formation with thunderbolts and disrupt the enemy's formation. Fifty soldiers poured tung oil, and two hundred soldiers took turns using rockets to ignite the carts. The remaining 700 people went down to the gate to resist the gate, and once the door was broken, it was repaired in time. ”
In the face of a world like Wuguan, even the cloud ladder can't be used, what cloud ladder can be five zhang long? Wuguan pass wall is five zhang high, that is, the height of the three-story building in later generations, in addition to the large siege equipment, high turrets, wells, etc. can climb up to the head of the city, only the car crashes and opens and closes the door. Cao Cao just came, except for this barely built rushing car, it is impossible to have time to build other equipment, and it is even more impossible for Cao Bing to fly to the city, so as long as the city gate is not lost, Wuguan will not be lost.
Cao Jun approached three hundred paces, and there was a thunderous roar at the gate, and dozens of stones were ejected by the thunderbolt car, and the sound was terrifying. The stone shot into Cao Cao's large array, and Cao Bing dodged in all directions, and there were very few soldiers who hit it, only to be frightened by the loud sound of the thunderbolt.
Cao Cao, who was on a high mountain in the distance, looked down at the gate and saw that the defenders were scarce, only a few hundred people, and his heart was relieved. Bullying the few defenders in the pass, Daxu waved, ordered the two wings of the chariot to kill the guards, forcefully approached the pass, and threw upwards to suppress the rocket attack of the defenders in the pass, so as not to let the defenders destroy the chariot, and the chariot was his reliance on conquering the Wuguan, once it was damaged, he must continue to delay the time to build siege equipment. Cao Cao decided to exchange his life for his life, he had more than 10,000 soldiers, that is, ten soldiers were exchanged for the lives of a soldier guarding the pass, even if all the soldiers were lost in the pass, as long as they attacked the Wuguan, they would not lose.
Cao Cao can afford to change it, and in the third year of the first peace, he collected more than 300,000 yellow turban soldiers in Yanzhou, and Lu Bu will accompany him to the end no matter how he wants to change him. Cao Cao gave an order, and the Qingzhou soldiers on both wings of the car were killed.
The Qingzhou soldiers slaughtered to the pass, raised their heads and threw them at the pass, and the dense arrows swept away like locusts. Qingzhou soldiers are not afraid of death, they are really hundreds of thousands of soldiers for food, a bowl of rice is more important than a life, as long as there is a bowl of rice for them, they dare to go into battle to kill, well-deserved elite soldiers. And there were too few defenders on the gate, and they were condescendingly killed and powerless. The rain of arrows will close and cover all of them, and the defenders will cry and cry for their mothers to hold up the rattan signs.
Yan Lin stood motionless at the gate, calmly looking at the endless Cao soldiers outside the pass, her eyes reflected a dense array of arrows flying upside down from the sky in front of her, about to shoot her into a hedgehog, her face was full of fear, but she did not retreat a step under her feet. Seeing that the lady was so calm, the defenders were greatly confident, and they raised the rattan cards one by one to resist the rain of arrows. Li Damu came from a distance with a large shield in one hand to escort Yan Lin.
"Madame, retreat quickly, the murderous aura of the city is pervasive, the sky is lost, and the blood is raging, so let's go down and rest...... No matter how bad it is, you should retreat to the city tower, so as not to get angry. Li Damu pushed away all the flying arrows to prevent Yan Lin from being injured.
Yan Lin held the arrows in her palms, trying to overcome the fear in her heart, she was a woman, when did she come to the front-line battlefield in person, in the face of the murderous black pressure surging enemy soldiers, her strong not to let the spirit collapse is already commendable, her legs tremble inevitably, the whole body is about to lose consciousness, she smiled gloomily, and said stubbornly: "Even if I go down, how can I feel at ease?" I stand here and I can't do anything to help, but I can encourage the morale of the soldiers, and the soldiers can see hope. If you don't repel Cao Bing, you won't retreat! ”
Diao Chan was patrolling the wall, directing the soldiers to help the soldier who was hit by the arrow down to treat the arrow wound as soon as possible, and then continue to fight. Diao Chan, under the escort of several soldiers, risked being hit by an arrow, stretched his head out of the arrow stack to observe the enemy's situation, and saw that behind the Cao soldier archers, a hundred steps away from the wall, more than a thousand soldiers were sitting flat on the ground. The soldier is sitting on the ground on the battlefield of fighting, it is by no means a good thing, a crisis in Diao Chan's heart hit, look carefully, Cao Bing has a huge bow and crossbow on his feet, his feet are on the bow, and the hook string is hooked on his waist, Diao Chan is in a cold sweat, and the woman's instinct erupts, screaming in panic:
"Waist lead, it's waist lead! The thunderbolt flattened the Cao soldiers sitting on the ground, and the rest of the soldiers crouched down, looking for concealment...... Squat down. "Diao Chan has never been on the battlefield after all, and he panicked instantly when he recognized the enemy's strong crossbow. The power of the strong crossbow is not to mention the rattan brand, even the big shield can't resist it.
When the soldiers heard the shouting, they all curled up to the bottom of the arrow stack, but Yan Lin above the gate was still unmoved, standing quietly at the arrow stack.
"Madame...... Fast...... Squat down. If Li Damu didn't want to avoid suspicion, he would have stepped forward in a hurry and pressed Yan Lin to the ground.
"Everyone can go back, but I can't!"
Li Damu helplessly stood at the mouth of the arrow battlement with his shield on his head. Cao Bing's crossbow bolts whined through the air, fast and fierce, shooting the wall with a loud bang. Several strong arrows named big shields, Li Damu was shocked and his mouth was full of blood, his body leaned forward, and he was dead guarding in front of Yan Lin, and the big shield cracked open under the huge destructive force.
At the same time, under the suppression of arrows and crossbows, Cao Jun easily pushed the rushing cart to a distance of twenty paces from the gate. Close the archers and quickly clear the obstacles one by one. "Huh" hundreds of people at the same time with all their strength, pushing the rushing car, the wheels under the rushing car rotated at speed, and the behemoth rushed towards the gate with all its might.
