Chapter 279: Attack
The "squeak" of wood trembled and resounded, and the battle at Hangu Pass finally broke out, and it was particularly harsh under the clear sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The four wells are only more than 20 meters apart from each other, push them horizontally, like a fierce beast in the wilderness, they can overlook the Xiongguan, this is the real magnificence.
Hundreds of people stood on top of it, waiting for the orders of the Chinese generals.
King Li waved his hand and said: "Divide four rushing chariots to attack the city gate, and the rest will strike at the weak points of the city wall, and the well will cover the brothers to set up a ladder, and General Anton will preside over the battle." ”
Saying that, King Li held the sword in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yun, who was waiting solemnly.
Zhao Yun shouted loudly: "The last general must go all out, lead the army first, and open a hole for the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army." ”
Li Wang frowned and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Honorable Order."
Zhao Yun rode his horse to the front of the formation and shouted: "The governor of the capital is here, the well is close to the city, and immediately cover with arrows, and the rest of the people will follow me first, whoever ascends first, the reward will be ten thousand gold, give the mansion, and protect the peace of the clan for all generations, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
At the sound of an order, the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded faintly, four or five soldiers as a team, carrying the ladder and rushing to the city, there were tens of thousands of people in a daze, and the soldiers in the first column all had the determination to die, but they all knew that even if they sacrificed, King Li would take care of their wives and children, and would not treat their heroic souls badly.
"Bang", the first ladder was successfully erected, arrows flew on the head, and there was a scoop of boiling water sprinkled, which was slightly affected, and it was half of the body, and even killed on the spot.
"Boom", the car was carrying a huge sassal wood, and crashed into the city gate, but Hangu Pass, as the eight passes of Luoyang and the gateway of the world, the specifications are naturally extremely high, and the four loud noises in a row only made the city gate tremble.
The arrows at the head of the city fell like money, and the soldiers just climbed the ladder, they were hit by the stray arrows, and fell to the ground and convulsed, even if it was a soldier who did not die with a blow, they would be trampled to death by the first climbers who went forward and followed, and in the face of war, there was no fluke.
At this time, there were several generals who were particularly fierce, among them were Mo Yan and Wei Yan, both of whom were promoted through martial arts competitions, but King Li only arranged military positions, but did not have the actual power to command the army, but at this time it was different, King Li promised the two, as long as they established great merit in this campaign, they would arrange military affairs for the two as appropriate, and held the power to command the army.
For a general, what is greater than the merit of being the first? Apparently not.
At this time, Wei Yan personally held the cloud ladder with his own hand, holding a sword in one hand, escorting Mo Yan, with Mo Yan's bravery, in a moment's time, it only rose two zhang distance, which shows the danger of ascending the city.
Mo Yan's solemn eyes swept away, and he was suddenly shocked, and shouted: "Wen Chang, get out of the way." ”
When the words fell, Wei Yan only felt that the wind was coming overhead, and he didn't dare to look around, so he rolled around a few times on the spot, and he was able to avoid a huge thing.
Looking at it, it was a rolling log, an extremely dangerous thing in the city defense equipment, and anyone who was hit in the head had no chance of surviving.
In just half an hour, the corpse of the state army was put up in a layer, which was particularly conspicuous under the majesty of Hangu Pass.
The effect of the well was manifested, and if they hadn't protected the ladder under the city, the casualties would have been even more serious.
Zhao Yun was startled, his hand moved, he bent his bow and arrows, pointed directly at the head of the city, and with a whoosh, the eagle feather arrow broke through the air, and a soldier at the head of the city who raised boiling water fell to the ground in response, and the water in the iron pot was poured on the ground, splashing on the human skin and suddenly turning a large piece red.
Mo Yan seemed to feel something, and glanced at Zhao Yun gratefully, if it weren't for the sound of arrows breaking through the air, he really didn't notice that someone was planning to assassinate him.
After this delay, it finally had an effect, Mo Yan struggled to climb, and finally it was level with the head of the city, but it was only level, the defenders saw that someone was coming up, and immediately gathered the flames of battle, and the arrow pointed at Mo Yan and passed.
After all, it was just one person, and Mo Yan didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly shrank his head, and he fell a few steps, feeling regretful in his heart.
If there were more people showing up just now, he would definitely be able to occupy this corner and provide Wei Yan and the others to ascend first.
If you miss the opportunity, there will naturally be no second time, and the cloud ladder in Moyan has been hit intensively, even if the force is first-class, it can't be used in the chaotic army, so you can only hold your head and run away.
Zhang Liao commanded well, and at this time looked at Wang Shouren and said: "Wang Shaofu, the enemy's well has caused a lot of pressure, if we can't find a way to solve it, we can only defend passively in the future." ”
Wang Shouren also frowned, and said: "This is just four wells, Tan Ma Lai, there are still a full sixteen in the rear of the Chinese army, even if these four are destroyed today, there will be more thrown in tomorrow." ”
"Boom!!"
There was an explosion, and the soldiers present were stunned, and they all looked at the front of the city in disbelief.
In a few seconds, someone came to report: "General, something is wrong, someone saw a rushing car rushing and crashing a corner of the city wall......"
Zhang Liao scolded: "If it collapses, it will collapse, and immediately increase troops to support, where is there so much nonsense." ”
In their eyes, which siege battle is not the wall falling and the city is broken, but repairing it afterwards, at this time, there is only one way to use people to pile up.
The man trembled and said, "No... No, it's only... One man knocked down the wall, and now he has occupied that place, and no one can come near it. ”
Zhang Liao was shocked: "A person... Could it be that Yang Zaixing is here? ”
Wang Shouren stopped and said: "No, Shangjun must have a garrison of people who can control the scene, Yang Zaixing can't walk away, could it be that he Li Wang got someone to work for, and he was not heard by our detectives." ”
He turned around and said: "Go, transfer an archer to strike from a distance, all such fierce generals are invincible, just force them back, and don't let him get close." ”
"Yes." The man hurried down to make arrangements.
Wang Shouren suddenly said in a deep voice: "It seems that Cao Cao sent troops to give King Li a good medicine, and he actually gave his heart to it, so it seems that the next offensive will not be worse than today, and even more tragic, you all have to be ready, we... There is no support. ”
Zhang Liao hesitated: "Gao Shun is there, still don't you need to contact him?" ”
Wang Shouren said suddenly: "It's not that you don't need to contact, but in fact, you have already been contacted." ”
Zhang Liao was stunned and looked at him with some puzzlement.
Zhang Shouren explained: "I informed Zhu Yuanzhang of Gao Shun's movements earlier, that is, let them be prepared, today's war broke out, Fang La could not calm down, he must have made contact with Gao Shun, as long as their plan is unfolded, Gao Shun will naturally surface, isn't it equivalent to us contacting him." ”
Zhang Liao suddenly realized that the war continued to burn, and the siege soldiers climbed the city in more than ten waves one after another, and the casualties caused to the defenders were not small, which lasted for four hours, until nightfall, they both retreated, and they did not mention cleaning the battlefield.
