Chapter 198: The Decisive Battle Begins

When the earth rampart reaches the same height as the city wall, it begins to build a flying bridge, that is, a wooden simple bridge, once there is a flying bridge, the soldiers can attack the local city wall through the flying bridge, and the crossbowmen can shoot and suppress on the city wall, which is the general step of the method of building a city with earth.

The easiest way to face this method of warfare is to destroy the earthen fortress, or not let the other party build the earthen fortress, so that naturally there is no chance to attack the city, but the trial is not responsible for the casualties when building the fortress, and the earthen fortress is built stubbornly, plus a large number of shield defense, the earthen fortress has slowly taken shape, which is not a good news for Menggo, if the other party is allowed to build a fortress to attack the city, then the pressure on Hangu Pass will be doubled, which is not what Menggo wants to see, but it is precisely because the other party builds a fortress to attack the city, and also gives Menggo a chance.

Sometimes a crisis is a turning point, just this time the turning point has appeared, the other side will not easily let Mongo destroy the earthen fortress, so it is inevitable to divide the troops to guard, the division of troops also means that the fighter has appeared, tonight is an excellent opportunity, the time to break the enemy is close at hand.

The moon and stars are sparse, there is a slight chill in the wind, Meng Ge did not have the slightest sleep, looking at the earthen fortress and the guard under the city wall, Meng Ge took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiahou Lan, pretend to eradicate the earthen fortress, and then pretend to be defeated and escape, and at the same time disrupt the other party's deployment, and fight for space for the army to attack!" ”

"No!" Xia Houlan, who was already ready to do it, had a serious expression, and his mind was extremely calm, he must remain calm when the general was about to fight, this Xia Houlan was already qualified, tonight's battle was very important, Xia Houlan knew the heavy responsibility he was carrying, the first step in this battle was very important, and Xia Houlan had a great responsibility as a pioneer.

The battle is about to begin, and at this time in the coalition camp, Cao Ying and Xi Zhicai are playing leisurely, the battle on the chessboard is like the confrontation between the two armies, the killing is inseparable, the two do not back down at all-for-tat, from time to time to stage a wonderful scene, just when the two are playing, Xi Zhicai suddenly changed his words.

"My lord, if you are Mongo, then how many troops will Mongo use to destroy the earthen ramparts this time?" Xi Zhicai said casually, but Cao Ying suddenly frowned, and in a trance, Cao Ying seemed to think of something.

"Do your best!" Cao Ying said this answer without hesitation, from Meng Ge's point of view, he would never allow the coalition army to build the earth fortress easily, and Meng Ge would do his best to destroy the earth fortress, this answer Cao Ying finally understood, but what he didn't understand was why Xi Zhicai suddenly mentioned this.

Smart people are different, a little bit is thorough, and when he got the answer he wanted, Xi Zhicai asked again with a smile: "That's right, it's all your best, but do you know how powerful Menggo's all-out attack is?" ”

This time, Cao Ying was even more worried, the hand holding the chess piece stopped for a while, and after thinking for a long time, Cao Ying said truthfully: "I don't know!" So what does the military advisor mean? ”

"It's nothing, it's time for you to fall off!" Xi Zhicai didn't seem to have any intention of continuing this topic, so he turned his head and concentrated on playing chess, but the speaker had the intention and the listener had the intention, and the mood of the two couldn't calm down no matter what.

The battle is about to break out, the earthen fortress is less than two zhang away from the city wall, at this time, in order to protect the earthen fortress, the coalition army lit a bonfire at the place of the earthen fortress, so that if the enemy army goes out of the city to know the earthen fortress, the coalition army is naturally clear at a glance, just when the soldiers in charge of guarding are a little sleepy, Hangu Pass suddenly opened the city gate, and Xiahoulan rushed out in an instant.

"Kill!" Hearing Xia Houlan's order, the silence that had been silent for a long time was immediately broken, and Xia Houlan, who was rushing out of the city, rushed out in almost a blink of an eye, aiming at the nearest earthen rambar, which was the first task assigned by Meng Ge, pretending to clear the earthen ramparts.

Wen Chou, who had been watching from a distance, noticed the other party's movements, and immediately understood the enemy's intentions, and Wen Chou, who had been waiting for a long time for this moment, grinned coldly, and ordered without hesitation: "Attack with me, don't let the other party succeed, brothers rush with me!" ”

The battle started instantly, Xia Houlan, who rushed out of the city gate, was like entering a no-man's land, a spear was like a dragon out of the abyss, and it was even more fierce in the dark night, accompanied by countless screams, Xia Houlan took the lead, and the guards must be cleared to eradicate the earthen barriers, Xia Houlan naturally understood this truth, but this was only the first step.

"Kill!" The earth-shattering sound broke the silence of the night, and the cavalry led by Xiahoulan rushed into the enemy formation in an instant, and the front military formation of the enemy army was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and the battlefield was exceptionally bright under the illumination of the bonfire.

"Come with me, the whole army will shoot on the right side!" Xia Houlan led the army like a spirit snake, and changed the direction in an instant, almost instantly from a vertical sprint to a horizontal cut, it doesn't matter if there is no sprint space, as long as there is a place to run, Xia Houlan did not forget to attack the enemy during the high-speed run.

As the most advantageous weapon, the cavalry is the firepower that can be launched at any time, so it is a qualified cavalry, at the moment when Xiahou Lan gave the order, the arrow rain came in an instant, and the cold arrow in the darkness was the most deadly, and Wen Chou's department was instantly covered by the arrow rain.

"Ahh The screams in the darkness were endless, and in an instant, Wen Chou even gritted his silver teeth, but the enemy was too cunning, and he didn't expect that the other party could sprint up in such a small space, which made Wen Chou angry, and he knew that it was better to compress the space again, but unfortunately this was just his whim, and then there was the range of Meng Ge's strong crossbow shooting, how could Wen Chou occupy it comfortably, if they really dared to step forward, what was waiting for them would be the baptism of arrow rain, and then it would not be this scene.

"Second round, shoot!" Xiahoulan galloped on his horse, the galloping shot continued to unfold, the arrow rain in the dark was extremely deadly, and he could only pray not to shoot himself when he couldn't see clearly, but luck would not always be so good, in the face of the cover of the arrow rain, good luck was almost extravagant, rather than expecting to shoot himself, it was better to hope that the quality of the armor would be better.

"Crossbowman, shoot me!" Wen Chou looked angrily at Xiahou Lan, who was running very happily, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the infantry army to catch up with the cavalry, but he has another way, the other party has a rush, and he also has a bow and crossbow array, but the bow and crossbow array seems to be a little far away, and the bow and crossbow array in the rear cannot exert its power for the time being.

"Click!" Xiahou Lan narrowly and dangerously swung away a feather arrow, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he was shocked into a cold sweat and knew that he couldn't go on like this, if he let the other party surround him, it would be troublesome, the crossbow array covering the rear of the enemy army was not so fun, but fortunately, the speed had already rushed up at this time, so it was better to take this opportunity to recoil for a while, in order to tear a hole and make the opponent's military strength more concentrated.

"Change the knife, rush with me!" Xiahoulan made up his mind, and immediately launched a strong attack, using the speed of the horse to launch a strong attack is the regular combat method of the cavalry, Xiahou Lan, who was a little fat, resolutely launched a strong attack tactics, more than a thousand cavalry immediately deviated from the route of travel, and plunged into the outside of the enemy's encirclement and killing circle.

"This Xiahou Lan!" Meng Ge, who was standing in the city tower, was a little speechless, when did he still think about those unimportant things, the purpose of the feint attack had been achieved, and the opponent's position was also mobilized, it was really stupid not to pretend to run away at this time, and he was still thinking about provoking the other party, and it was clear that he wanted to provoke the other party, and he didn't need to work so hard to attract firepower!

Seeing Xiahou Lan constantly crisscrossing among the enemy army, Zhang Liao was very worried in his heart, and hurriedly said: "General, if Xiahou Lan's horsepower drops, it is very likely to be besieged, and now the enemy army has been attracted by Xiahou Lan's cavalry, the time has come, is it not immediately launched a general attack!" ”

"Attack, Yang Dingfang's crossbow battalion is dispatched!" At this time, there is nothing to hesitate, the fighter plane is fleeting, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy is attracted by Xiahoulan, it is better to attack immediately, so as to unravel the enemy's encirclement and interception of Xiahoulan, and at the same time, the time for a general attack has come.

"No!" Yang Dingfang got the order, immediately led the troops to attack, and finally got the opportunity to prove himself, although Yang Dingfang is not young anymore, but his heart is not old, this battle will be an important turning point, can become the main attack point, Yang Dingfang is extremely happy in his heart.

In an instant, the gate of Hangu Pass was opened again, the crossbow battalion led by Yang Dingfang attacked strongly, the infantry and crossbow soldiers fought together, this is the basic tactics of the crossbow battalion, born from the combat method of the poisonous dragon battalion, the crossbow coordination showed unparalleled power, although there was no precision of the poisonous dragon battalion, but the victory was in a large number, the crossbow arrow was a killing weapon when the intensive battle, the front infantry advanced, the rear row of the crossbow army supported, the fierce arrow rain pierced the sky, and the sky seemed to flash a little starlight under the reflection of the moonlight, and the god of death came instantly.

"What's the matter, the enemy's offensive is so fast!" Wen Chou was suddenly taken aback, and the front army suffered a fierce blow, which made Wen Chou have a bad premonition in his heart, I am afraid that this battle will not be so simple.

Just when Wen Chou was thinking, Pegasus immediately came to report: "General, the enemy army is attacking fiercely, and the front army can't withstand it!" ”

The situation did not allow Wen Chou to think for too long, and then Wen Chou immediately shouted: "Gao Ran listens to the order, immediately give me a top, be sure to withstand the enemy's attack, the enemy's intentions are unknown, no matter how the position cannot be lost!" ”

"Order!" Gao Lan, who was behind Wen Chou, immediately took the order, and in the dark night, by the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw an enemy army joining the battlefield, and Wen Chou's army, which could barely withstand the onslaught of the crossbow battalion, immediately stabilized its position.

"Kill me!" Gao Ran raised his arms and shouted, and then waved his troops directly at the enemy's location, Gao Ran's addition immediately gave Wen Chou's army a shot in the arm, and the rout was immediately stopped, with the continuous addition of the enemy army, Yang Dingfang suddenly felt very difficult, and the advance of the crossbow battalion was gradually blocked.

It's over, it seems to be too much, Xia Houlan saw that the enemy army who was attracted to his side was careful and his liver was pounding, this seems to have four or five thousand troops, this time it seems to have gone too far, Xia Houlan finally knows what it means to be afraid.

"Kill it and get out of the battlefield immediately!" In the face of the encirclement of four or five thousand enemy troops, Xiahou Lan no longer dared to mess around, and immediately waved his troops straight to the north.

Hit and run, the general of the Wen Chou Department gave up and fought hard to besiege and kill the cavalry of Xiahou Lan's department.

Just when Xiahoulan was ready to leave the battlefield, the situation changed again, with the continuous development of Yang Dingfang's crossbow battalion, the coordinated power of the crossbow was once again displayed, and wave after wave of arrow rain caused huge casualties to the Wenchou army, as a strong army, Yang Dingfang's infantry crossbow battalion was finally in full swing, and the strong cooperation of spearmen, sword and shield hands, and crossbowmen was finally opened, and the 5,000-step crossbow battalion once again launched a rapid pace of advancement.

"Kill!" The tragic battle in the night continued to be staged, Yang Dingfang looked straight ahead angrily, his eyes were extremely firm, whether he could break through the enemy blockade, this will be the most critical part, the victory or defeat of this battle is in this move, as the main point of attack has a great responsibility, if it can be successfully advanced in one fell swoop, the army can be successfully launched, otherwise the army can not be carried out smoothly, then there is not enough space to exert its power, and this battle will end in failure.

"Did the other party take the wrong medicine, and did he really want to start a decisive battle?" Wen Chou looked at the battlefield in a daze, such a fierce offensive was really beyond his expectations, looking at this posture didn't seem to be destroying the earth barriers, but it was a bit of a decisive battle, the other party wouldn't really want to start a decisive battle.

Wen Chou was suddenly taken aback by this idea, if this is the case, then the other party will not be able to succeed, once the enemy army is allowed to open up the formation, it will be troublesome, Wen Chou made a decision in an instant.

"Herald, Pegasus immediately report back to the camp, and the enemy army will pour out and ask for support!" Thinking that the enemy army was preparing to launch a decisive battle, Wen Chou immediately asked people to return to the rear army without saying a word, ready to ask for reinforcements, and at the same time, Wen Chou couldn't sit still at this time, and just conveyed the order, he rode out and waved his troops to join the battlefield.

"Don't panic, Wen Chou is here!" Holding a swarthy spear, Wen Chou took the lead and wanted to rush into the chaotic battlefield, but when he looked up, he found that there was almost no space to cut into, and Hangu Pass was almost full of people before, and it was completely beaten into a pot of porridge.

"Crossbowmen, strike at the opponent's back row and suppress the enemy's crossbow array!" Yang Dingfang calmly gave the order to strike at the back row.

The crossbowmen who have already been familiar with the tactics do not need to be reminded by anyone, the enemy's bow and crossbow array is already within the range of the strike, although they can't see what the enemy's rear looks like, but the opponent's feathered arrows reveal their position, and fixed-point sweeping is the favorite thing of the strong crossbowman.

"Aim for the bearings and give me a hard shot!" Fan Hui, the commander of the crossbow battalion, shouted loudly, and in an instant, the crossbow opened again, and I don't know how many waves of arrows it was......

As the battle line continued to advance, Mongo's frowning brows did not stretch, but wrinkled tighter, although the speed of advancement was okay, but it was still not enough, he needed a faster advance speed, and the fast opponent had no time to react, this is what Mongo wanted to see, but now the advance is slightly slow.

Just when he was anxious, the battlefield changed again, and Xiahou Lan, who was temporarily out of the battlefield, actually killed him again, and Wen Chou, who was killed, was caught off guard......
