Chapter 414: Elite Ballista

The 5,000 soldiers sent by Ma Chao this time, in addition to some old and weak, there are still 2,000 elites.

As an elite soldier, the tactical literacy is naturally much higher. And, as an elite, there will always be privileges in some respects.

For example, as soon as the two thousand soldiers rushed out, the Yizhou soldiers who were still crowded under Tongguan and grabbed the ladder suddenly had to obediently give up the place.

The first one to attack the wall of Tongguan will always get a little more. But the combat power of those old and weak is indeed much lower than the elite of the Yizhou army, and if you want to grab that reward, you also need to have that strength.

Moreover, the elites of the Yizhou Army were not like the soldiers sent before, crowded under Tongguan in a swarm.

Those elites had five hundred soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, and had been paying attention to the wall of Tongguan. When the time comes, as long as there are defenders on the wall to take out the tools to defend the city, their bows and arrows will rain arrows on the wall.

And at this time, Ye Mo also felt that this bait was enough, and if there were more, he might have to kill himself.

"The order goes down, and the archers attack the archers of the enemy army, and do not have to worry about not having enough arrows. The rest of the people, as much as they could, cleaned up the corpses on the city wall, and prepared rolling stones and sassal wood! Seeing that all the soldiers sent by the Yizhou Army had entered the strike range of their own side, Ye Mo also decisively issued his own order.

As soon as Ye Mo's order was given, Ko Yi and the others dispersed to convey orders and prepare. The battle, at this time, has just begun.

To clean up the corpses on the city walls, too, is simple. Anyway, most of them are the corpses of the Yizhou army, so they can be thrown directly from the top of the wall to the gate.

And the slightly more troublesome thing is the blood on the wall, and the blood flowing from the corpses of nearly a thousand Yizhou soldiers directly dyed the wall red. And the defenders stood on it, a careless word. It's also easy to fall.

However, fortunately, the industry in this era was not very developed, so the bricks used to build the wall were slightly rough, but they played a non-slip role. Of course, this does not rule out that the original builders designed it this way.

Under the wall, the elite of the five hundred Yizhou Army watched their companions climb the ladder at this time. is about to attack Tongguan, and the envy in my heart is simply mentioned.

Before, I saw that those old and weak could easily attack the wall of Tongguan, not to mention those elites at this time. In their hearts, it must be a battle!

It's just a pity. This time, it was only their turn to sweep the formation, a good reward, and they flew away.

But soon, the soldiers realized that they were wrong. It was not only a reward that flew, but also a raindown of arrows. But the arrows didn't fly away. Instead, it flew towards them.

Tongguan is a dangerous pass, and the wall is naturally extremely high. If the soldiers of the Yizhou army want to use bows and arrows to support the soldiers attacking the city on their side, they naturally need to get as close as possible to the wall. After all, arrows are thrown from the bottom up.

But for the archers above the wall, it is not too nice to shoot from the top of the wall to the bottom of the gate. The archers of the Yizhou Army who were separated were almost within the range of all the archers in Tongguan.

The five hundred archers of the Yizhou army, after suffering the first round of blows, fell nearly a hundred soldiers. Of course. Not all of these soldiers were shot directly, but many more were hit by several arrows. Almost nailed to the ground, but still breathing.

Under a round of blows. Although the archers of the Yizhou army were frightened, they had not yet reached the frightened Cheng dรน. Picking up their bows and arrows, they began to fight back.

It's just that before they could throw the arrows in their hands, the second round of blows in Tongguan followed.

This time, dozens of soldiers were shot and killed.

And when the archers of the Yizhou army finally threw the arrows in their hands, they were a big mistake, and most of them did not fly onto the wall, but dealt a little blow to the soldiers who attacked the fortifications.

As for the part of the arrows that flew up the wall, only a small part of them hit the defenders of Tongguan, and those arrows, when they hit the defenders, their strength was also weakened a lot. Therefore, in this round, only a few unlucky eggs were hit by the key point and fell on the wall.

The defenders of Tongguan shot ten rounds in a row at the archers of the Yizhou Army under the pass, and they were also afraid of directly killing those soldiers. Under the rain of arrows, there are only a dozen people who can run. It was these people who also saw that the situation was not good before, so they began to flee to the left and right.

As early as after the archers in Tongguan were killed in five rounds, the other defenders also lifted the rolling stone and wood that had been prepared on the wall, and they didn't need to aim, as long as they smashed down the pass, as long as they could kill one or two people.

Under Tongguan, Ma Chao looked at the defenders of Tongguan who suddenly became powerful, and suddenly opened his mouth. Tongguan, there is still such strength at this time!

It was Guo Jia, who looked at the Yizhou army who was constantly falling to the ground at this time, but he didn't feel the slightest surprise, but showed a weird smile on his face.

And after Ma Chao was frightened, he also turned his head and wanted to ask Guo Jia for his opinion. It's just that when he turned his head, he saw Guo Jia's smile on his face.

When he landed, Ma Chao's face suddenly became cold. "Strategist, now my Yizhou sergeant has suffered heavy losses, but I don't know why Strategist is so happy?" Between the words, Ma Chao's killing intent was not concealed at all.

It's just that Guo Jia was unmoved, and he still had that smile on his face. "Now that the imperial army has been tricked, Guo Jia is naturally happy."

When Ma Chao heard Guo Jia say this, the coldness on his face was still not reduced, but his tone was a little calmer. "Since the military advisor said so, then the military advisor will talk about it, how can you see that the imperial army has been tricked?"

"My lord, look at the gate of the Tong Pass, on the wall of the Tong Pass, rolling stones and sassalwoods are being thrown down everywhere, but there is not a single stone or wood at the gate of the gate." Since Guo Jia has concluded that the Tongguan garrison is in the army, it is naturally not untargeted.

After Ma Chao heard Guo Jia say this, he looked towards the gate of Natong Pass, and the result was exactly as Guo Jia said. "Even so, what does that mean?"

At this time, although Ma Chao still didn't understand the reason why Guo Jia said this, at least, Ma Chao no longer had any doubts about Guo Jia.

"The gate is so clean, it can only show that the defenders of Tongguan have plans to go out of the pass to pursue. In this way, our plan to lure out the defenders of Tongguan was a success. "Only by luring out the defenders of Tongguan can Tongguan be taken at the lowest cost.

And now it seems that the defenders of Tongguan do have plans to attack.

In Tongguan, there were more than ten soldiers who pushed out two elite ballistas from the warehouse.

It has been upgraded to the highest level of elite ballista that can be upgraded at the moment, and its range has reached 1,200 zhang like cheating.

You must know that in Ye Mo's previous life, even in the Song Dynasty, the Divine Arm Bow that had been improved countless times had a range of only eight hundred zhang.

And the range of 1,200 zhang is enough to shoot from the wall of Tongguan to Ma Chao. Moreover, the elite ballista, in order to kill people, it is not necessary to directly hit the enemy, but wait until the huge arrows sent by the ballista hit the ground, and countless pieces of iron burst out from the arrow body to kill the enemy.

Ma Chao and Guo Jia, but they didn't know at this time that danger had come. (To be continued)
