Chapter 208: Battle Qin (5)

A cart full of grain and grass slowly marched along the official road, and the long convoy winded for several miles, until it was under the Woniu Ridge, the first carriage stopped, and the entire grain transport team began to assemble, ready to pass through the Woniu Ridge at the fastest speed under the cover of the Qin soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Directly below the three stockades is a Qin army array, the middle of the military array is concave, the two wings are stretched out, the back of the big shield is densely covered with archers, and then behind are the soldiers carrying Changge, after two rounds of arrow rain, the archers will retreat and arrange the next line of defense, and the vacant position will be filled by these soldiers.

"Goose-shaped formation! Qin Bing didn't plan to take the initiative to attack. ”

Ying Guang's face is a little dignified, the trend of offensive and defensive reciprocity is inevitable, once forced into the white-knuckle battle, with only 2,000 people is absolutely not pleased, the next can only see whether these temporary stone throwers can make contributions, as long as the official road can be blocked, the rhythm of the battle can return to Ying Guang.

"General, the grain cart below is starting to move."

With Fan Li's words, I saw two grain carts moving side by side, on one side of the cart were soldiers with shields, they not only protected the coachman, but even the bad horses pulling the carts also guarded, and then looked at the grain bags on the cart, which was covered with a thick layer of soil, which was to prevent the enemy from attacking.

I have to say that Meng Che's preparation is very thorough, and the strict protection makes the long-range attack of the opponent's crossbow arrows completely fail, and if you want to intercept the grain truck, you can only go out of the village to fight.

However, Meng Che still underestimated the guards on the mountain, in his opinion, it was rare for these hastily arrived enemies to do this step now, and it was impossible for them to prepare large equipment such as bed crossbows in pursuit of speed, so their own protection could be said to be foolproof.

But soon, the large stones flying out of the stockade completely frustrated Meng Che's plan.

At this time, the grain cart just walked to the narrowest place of the official road, and heard the sound of "jumping", only to see the polished stones being thrown high by the stone thrower, and the stones drew a parabola, and smashed into the grain cart that hit the head, and the guard with the shield next to him screamed, barely separating a small stone, but just this moment, it made the whole arm unconscious, which was not over, and then a huge black shadow shrouded the top of the head car, and the driver behind let out a desperate scream, with the stone landing, the scream stopped abruptly.

The stones continued to roll forward after destroying the grain truck, and the huge kinetic energy directly destroyed the grain truck next to them, and the Qin soldiers who were guarding couldn't care about their tasks, and they all fled to the rear in embarrassment, but the stones that fell on their heads completely covered the short retreat, and the stone projectiles the size of watermelons smashed the head of a Qin soldier, and the copper helmet on his head did not play any role, the Qin soldier stumbled and fell to the ground without snorting, and the lucky man behind stepped over his body in a few steps, and just rushed out a few steps, A larger rock landed on the ground and was catapulted up, hitting the lucky man just in time. I heard a "poof", and as the stones rolled by, everyone's eyes were empty, but the Qin soldier was nowhere to be seen.

In just a moment, the originally flat official road in front was full of all kinds of debris, including broken carriages, scattered grain bags, corpses of inferior horses and soldiers, and more large and small falling rocks, these stone bullets were like watermelons in the melon field, and they were everywhere of different sizes, and people could pass, but the carriage carrying grain could not pass.

In this way, Meng Che's plan to lure the enemy into battle was completely frustrated, not only that, but the grain and grass transported to Los Angeles were gathered at the foot of Woniu Ridge, once the defenders on the hill decided to break the cauldron and attack the grain wagon recklessly, not too much, only a fire to burn the grain and grass, even if their mission was a failure, even if they killed all those defenders, they could not recover the guilt of losing food.

"Change formation! Storm the hill for me! In addition, arrange some sergeants to take advantage of the chaos to remove those debris, let the convoy prepare, and immediately pass through Woniuling when they hear the order! ”

"No!"

After the long horn sounded, the three Qin army formations under the mountain changed formations at the same time, the archers retreated, the Changge hands filled the position, the wings did not move, and the depression in the middle moved forward, after a short adjustment, the goose-shaped formation became a cone-shaped formation, and several strong soldiers in the formation carried thick logs, which were sharpened and used as battering rams. The drums beat and the three formations marched towards the mountain at the same time.

"Crossbow arrows, shoot!"

Hu Ben stood on the thin wall, pointed at the big men carrying logs and shouted: "Kill them, don't let them get close to the wall!" A few of you crossbowmen are here to resist, and a few of you will dismantle the stone thrower and go to the back to set up a second line of defense! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

The crossbow arrows poured down on the Qin army under the mountain with the sound of breaking through the air, but most of them were blocked by the shield armor soldiers, and they did not achieve the imaginary results at all. I could only watch as the army approached step by step, and when the archers in the rear followed, the wall was completely suppressed.

Hu Ben held the shield and commanded the soldiers to defend, the other party chose three places as the breakthrough, the sharpened logs hit the fragile wall, every time it hit, the crack at the root of the city wall was a little bigger, seeing that the other party had no intention of climbing, Hu Ben simply removed the guards on the wall, in fact, it would not work if he did not withdraw, the shaking wall could not stand on it at all, and the front of the wall was afraid that it would not last long.

Holding the crossbar in his hand against one of the breakthroughs, Hu Ben inserted the end of the crossbar into the soil, listened to the painful moaning of the wall, and knew that the wall was broken only in an instant, taking advantage of the short pause of the opponent's pullback, Hu Ben suddenly let go of his hand and shouted: "Retreat!" Retreat to the second line of defense! ”

When the soldiers heard the shout, they hurriedly let go of their hands and ran backwards, and the wall, which had long been overwhelmed, lost its strong support and suddenly loosened.

The wall is broken!

The advancing Qin soldiers did not encounter any decent resistance, and after widening the gap, the Qin soldiers took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and tightly bit Hu Ben and the others.

"Kill!"

Listening to the shouts behind him getting closer and closer, Hu Ben and the other guards after the break gritted their teeth and ran wildly, and the Qin soldiers behind also quickened their pace, ready to take advantage of the situation to cut through the camp, but suddenly their eyes were empty, and the guards who fled in front of them suddenly disappeared.

I heard a "bang", and a row of large shields suddenly stood up on the opposite side, and the crossbowmen were densely covered behind the shields, and the cold arrows were facing those pursuing Qin soldiers.

"Put!"

"Whoosh!"

The close-range shooting brought the destructive power of the crossbow arrows to the extreme, and the Qin soldiers who rushed to the front were like wheat that had been cut down, and they were put down in unison, and the Qin soldiers behind stopped one after another, and the two sides fell back into a confrontation.
