Chapter 628: Rush the Pass
The movement of the trebuchet throwing stone projectiles was so great that the bombardment for several days made everyone passively bear the impact of the huge sound of bombing.
Especially the Yizhou sergeants in Yangping Pass, they not only have to endure the huge harsh sound, but also have to be on guard at all times.
Now, even if the bombardment of trebuchets is stopped occasionally, the ears of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army in Yangping Pass will still be ringing, and they will not be able to return to normal for a while.
By the time the trebuchets of the New Han Army stopped bombarding, it was already the second half of the night. This also made the Yizhou sergeant in Yangping Pass, who had been tense and frightened, feel relieved. The sword that had been hanging over their heads was finally lowered, and they all relaxed at once, and their vigilance was at its lowest.
Therefore, on the wall of Yangping Pass at this time, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army who were forced to have no choice but to brave the Xinhan Army's trebuchet stone bullets to stick to their posts on the wall, after the bombardment of the trebuchet stopped, they all sat on the cold ground one by one, opened their mouths wide, and gasped for breath in a daze.
It is lucky to be able to survive, and none of them would have imagined that the raiding party of the New Han Army has quietly approached their walls.
Ma Chao and Wei Yan and other generals were waiting for the Yizhou Army to relax at this moment.
Raiding Yangping Pass, if you want to completely touch the wall of the pass, and do not alarm the defenders of the Yizhou Army at all, it is impossible. The Yizhou defenders on the wall of the pass, they will keep an eye on the outside of the pass at all times, and they will be ready to counterattack the attacking Xinhan army at any time. It can be said that if it is a normal time, the New Han army wants to attack under its wall, and I am afraid that it will have to sacrifice a lot of soldiers before it can attack and come.
But now, the New Han army has approached under the wall, and the left and right armies have converged under the city, which is enough. Not to mention. Now the Yizhou army on the head of the wall is still at a loss, and the soldiers of the New Han Army have sneaked under the wall.
In the New Han Army, there was already sign language training, Ma Chao and Wei Yan got together, and by the faint light of the torches emanating from the wall, the two were silently gesturing their hands.
Good for a while. Only then did they make a good gesture, and then they exchanged for another time with the sergeants they each led.
Soon, the sergeants had already clarified the meaning of Ma Chao and Wei Yan.
In an instant, the soldiers who were originally quietly hiding under the wall all moved at once.
The raid team of the New Han Army of about 1,000 people, they divided about 300 people, and these 300 people, each armed with a bow and crossbow, and the bow and arrow were wound. They all knelt in the shadows beneath the wall, their arrows firmly aimed at the battlements on the wall.
The wall of Yangping Pass is about ten zhang high, and the bow and crossbow of the New Han Army under the wall can also form a greater threat to the Yizhou army on the head of the wall. In addition, the soldiers of these raid teams are all elites, whether it is hand-to-hand combat or archery. It's all pretty powerful, not to mention. These three hundred were also chosen out of these thousand.
At this time, at the head of the wall, those Yizhou troops were relaxed, and almost no one came out to observe the situation under the wall. In fact, even if someone occasionally looks out to look under the wall, it is not too real, if it is not consciously observed. I can't find the soldiers of the New Han Army hiding under the wall.
Three hundred crossbowmen were already in place, aiming at the battlements on the wall.
Then, among the New Han Army, about 100 people were divided, and this 100 people were on their shoulders. They were all carrying a large bundle of ropes. This is prepared according to the standard of preparing a hook for each soldier. A rope is just enough for a person to climb the wall one after another.
Then the remaining five or six hundred soldiers, they are also getting ready, as long as the hook flies up and hangs on the head of the city, they must hurry up and climb up, and when the Yizhou army on the head of the city reacts, they will forcibly climb up to the top of the city.
After a few days of incessant bombardment with trebuchets, the New Han Army also basically understood the situation of the defenders on the wall of Yangping Pass, and the defenders of Yangping Pass, in order to avoid too many casualties, they only left hundreds of sergeants on the head of the city to guard and monitor the situation of the New Han Army. Their army is probably in Yangping Pass, some distance from the wall, and there is no need to be threatened by trebuchets flying into the pass. It is estimated that even if the Yizhou army in the pass receives a warning that the wall is being attacked, it will definitely not be able to support the wall in a short period of time. Because they have to assemble, they have to run, they have to climb this wall dozens of meters high.
Ma Chao and Wei Yan were both confident that they would be able to seize the wall of Yangping Pass before the military horses in the Yizhou Army came to kill them. There are only hundreds of Yizhou sergeants on the wall, and if the soldiers of the Xinhan Army are allowed to climb the wall, it will be the death of those Yizhou sergeants.
The subtle movements under the wall still did not alarm the soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the wall, they had not been able to come back to their senses so quickly, their thoughts were still at this moment, they just wanted to breathe in this hard-won quiet air.
At this time, after closing the wall, there was a sudden whirring sound, and this sound sounded very suddenly, as if it was made out of nothing.
However, those Yizhou soldiers who were paralyzed in the battlements, they still did not have the slightest sense of alarm. Because this whirring sound was a bit like the sound of the wind, only a few soldiers with sharper ears could hear the sound coming from under their walls. But when they heard it for a while, they didn't bother to move, and they didn't expect that it was the soldiers of the New Han Army waving the ropes in their hands and making a sound.
After a whirring sound, in fact, it was only a few breaths, and nearly a hundred soldiers of the New Han Army below had already thrown the rotating hook to the high wall.
Bang Bang Bang ......
Dingdingding......
The hook was thrown directly on the wall, and was pulled by the soldiers of the New Han Army outside the wall, and the hooks were hung on the edge of the wall at once.
Liu Feng is a small commander of the Yizhou Army, and he can command four soldiers. However, there are only two soldiers under his hands now, and two guys are very unlucky today, a stone bullet of the New Han Army fell on the battlement of the wall defended by his team, and was smashed alive into pulp, if it wasn't for his misopportunity. Hearing the sound of the stone bullet breaking through the air, it seemed that it was about to land on them, and he ran more than ten steps to the side of the wall in time, otherwise he would have ended up the same. The other two soldiers who survived, along with him, were veterans, and both knew how to read his face and behave, and they suddenly ran away when they saw the captain. They subconsciously followed, so that they were left with three lives.
Just now, he also heard a strange sound similar to whirring under the wall. In his heart, he was actually paused, but for a while, he really didn't expect that the New Han Army would have sneaked under the wall, and he wanted to sit for a while before standing up to observe the situation under the wall. Well, this one in his heart will sit for a while. In fact, it was just a few breaths, and he wanted his somewhat numb and frightened heart to calm down a little before standing up and observing below.
But between these breaths, the situation is completely different.
He watched a hook suddenly fly up from under the wall to the wall, and watched in a daze as the hook tugged in front of him, and then pulled past him, and at once hung firmly between the battlements of the guards they were responsible for.
At this moment, Liu Feng's eyes shrank. A thought popped into my head, not good. An enemy attack has been reached.
As he thought so, he shuddered and shouted, "Oh no! There is an enemy attack! Hurry up! ”
He was just subconsciously shouting a warning. But because he was so startled, his hands and feet trembled so much, that he didn't even stand up as quickly as others for a while.
But suddenly I heard his shout, and then according to what they each saw. Many soldiers of the Yizhou Army reflexively jumped up all of a sudden, crouched in the battlements, and looked out of the wall.
But I didn't want to, the three hundred archers of the New Han Army under the wall had long been aiming at the battlements on the wall. At this time, I finally heard the shouts of the Yizhou sergeants on the wall, which alarmed the Yizhou soldiers on the wall, and one by one the Yizhou sergeants who were still a little dazed appeared from behind the wall battlements.
Without an order, the target was found, and the bows and crossbows of the New Han Army were immediately fired, and the whizzing bows and arrows sounded softly, especially those holding crossbow arrows, which were quite accurate.
There was a soft pop and a terrible scream. Many of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army who watched were directly shot by the bows and arrows under the city.
The death-defying screams of the Yizhou soldiers on the wall completely broke the silence of the night. In the entire Yangping Pass, there was an instant shock, and the screams woke up many Yizhou soldiers who were already asleep.
However, waking up and waking up, but for a moment and a half, there must not have been so soon that the Yizhou army in the area could rush to the wall to participate in the defense of the city.
Actually, it can also be imagined.
If nothing else, let's just say that the soldiers of the New Han Army, from throwing out the hook and hanging the hook rope, the soldiers of the New Han Army below began to climb towards the wall.
You know, these are all the elites of the New Han Army, and for them, grabbing the rope and climbing up is just a trivial matter for them. Although I dare not say that it is as fast as stepping on the ground, it is also quite fast.
If nothing else, it's always okay to take a breath up a step up, right? The city wall is more than ten feet high, that is, thirty or forty meters high, and it can be climbed in one minute, right? Also, don't forget, the outside of the wall has already been smashed by the trebuchets of the New Han Army, and it is no longer a smooth and smooth wall, that is to say, the soldiers of the New Han Army, in the process of climbing up, in fact, there are some potholes on the wall for them to borrow.
Or you can calculate it like this, throw it on the hook, and after the hook is tightened, the soldiers of the New Han Army will fly up and jump up and climb up. At this time, you can at least climb three meters high. Then, the Yizhou soldiers on the wall waited for a few breaths before they reacted, and when they stood up and lay down on the battlements of the wall to look out, a few more breaths passed here. Then, they were attacked by the crossbows of the New Han army under the wall, killing and wounding some of their sergeants, and their screams made them panic again.
At this moment, most of the Yizhou soldiers will present a situation where their minds are blank for a moment. At this time, they may not be the first to push or throw down the heavy objects such as rolling stones and squealwoods that they have prepared outside the wall.
It was such a mess, and by the time they reacted, it was too late.
It's too late.
Even if it was the little captain Liu Feng, he was alert and only shouted warnings, and did not go out to watch like other soldiers, and avoided a catastrophe, and was not shot by the archers of the New Han Army below at the first time. He also reacted relatively quickly, remembering that at this time, he should have cut the rope hanging on the hook or threw a heavy object under the wall battlement, and smashed to death the soldiers of the New Han Army who climbed up along the lanyard.
He kicked the two soldiers under him who were still in a daze, and shouted, "Quick, cut the rope and throw the rolling stones!" ”
As soon as he finished shouting, he drew his knife and stepped forward to cut the rope.
But unfortunately, when he swung his knife to cut down, a spear suddenly stabbed out of the dark night outside the wall, and the spear not only knocked off the Pu knife in his hand, but also pierced him in the chest, and picked up his whole person, and flew outside the wall.
"Ahh
Liu Feng's eyes widened in horror, screamed, snapped, and was thrown straight under the dark wall.
He was unfortunate and happened to run into Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was the first to jump on the wall.
After picking off a Yizhou sergeant who was about to cut the lanyard, Ma Chao jumped to the wall of Yangping Pass, raised his gun and shouted: "Yangping Pass has been broken!" Who dares to fight! Kill me! ”
The cold and violent murderous aura directly made the Yizhou soldiers near Ma Chao unable to move, and Ma Chao shot a gun, and he flew away the weapons in the hands of those Yizhou soldiers who were slashing at him, and then swept wildly, causing those Yizhou soldiers to fly out of the wall.
"Wei Yanlai, the general of the New Han Army! Kill! ”
Wei Yan was not far behind and went to the wall.
In the entire Yangping Pass City, there are only these hundreds of Yizhou soldiers, just Ma Chao and Wei Yan, as long as they are killed in the city, who has the ability to repel them?
The two generals quickly cleared out the Yizhou soldiers on a section of the wall, and more soldiers of the Xinhan Army also climbed the wall safely.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the wall were completely panicked. In addition, within the wall of Yangping Pass, countless soldiers of the Yizhou Army rushed up to the wall, intending to recapture the Yangping Wall.
But this Yangping Pass, facing the north of the wall, is really not too wide, from the inside to the female wall on the wall, only from the inside of the gate to come up, the female wall on the left and right sides of the wall can come up. Now, Ma Chao and Wei Yan climbed the wall near the gate, as long as they controlled the wall tower and opened the gate, Guan Yu would immediately lead the army of the New Han Army to enter from the gate.
Ma Chao and Wei Yan, who have a husband who are in charge of the pass, are in the enemy and want to counterattack the Yizhou army that comes up on the wall, does the Yizhou army still have the north wall that can capture the Yangping Pass? (To be continued......)
