Chapter 208: Siege

The calm before the war ended quickly, and the Kwantung princes finally couldn't help but start the first wave of the attack, even though the coalition attack was frustrated, and the loss of more than 30,000 troops, but the military spirit was still not shaken, in the face of an enemy that might threaten them in the future, all the thoughts of the Kwantung coalition army were put on Meng Ge's body, at this time, whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Ying, there was no intention of letting go, but they were determined to kill Meng Ge, so that they could rest assured and let such an enemy look at themselves, No one is at ease.

Only when this threat disappears, everyone can rest assured to unfold their own layout, whether it is Cao Ying, or Yuan Shao, or other people and princes, they are all like mirrors in their hearts, when Dong Zhuo controlled the forces in Guanzhong, everyone can see that Dong Zhongying is old, and he has long lost that ambition, and he is short-sighted, although he occupies a huge advantage, but he has ruined it single-handedly, but now it is different, originally they just planned to take advantage of Menggo's unstable foothold to eliminate this hidden danger, But now it is unexpectedly discovered that this enemy is ridiculously strong, which makes everyone have to reconsider the strategy.

The stronger an enemy is, the more we should consider killing this guy first, instead of launching a senseless infighting at this time, it can be said that Mongo's two sorties have strengthened the mind of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and now the Kwantung Coalition Army must first take out this threat from the west in the long run, and there is no room for turning around.

When a party is too strong, the forces in a weak position are bound to unite, and the strategic game is inevitable, for example, when Dong Zhuo was strong, the Kwantung coalition army appeared, or looking forward, before the establishment of the Qin State, the six countries also implemented a joint strategy, but it did not achieve the expected results, and everyone understands in their hearts that if the Kwantung princes do not want to follow in the footsteps of the six countries, then their alliance is imperative, and it is unwise to let a strong enemy develop, Everyone understands this.

"Push it up, give me a hard attack! Let them be quiet, we are not easy to mess with, don't relax! ”

A small leader shouted hard, dozens of soldiers around him were holding a huge ladder, this is a necessary weapon for siege, with this siege can save a lot of energy, the people who are pushing the ladder have long been holding back a belly of fire, and when they heard the shouting, they suddenly worked harder, as if there was an endless approach.

Dozens of huge ladders marched in unison, heading straight for Hangu Pass, at this time Meng Ge's expression standing on the city tower did not change in the slightest, this scene had long been in his expectation, and even the time for the enemy to build the ladder was a little slower, today was just a scheduled time to come, and the defenders of Hangu Pass had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

At the other end of the battlefield, the commanders of the Kwantung coalition army far away from Hangu Pass are looking into the distance, this Hangu Pass across the pass and between the Kanto is like a fish thorn, like a fish in the throat, Meng Ge is a thorn in their eyes, a mud leg without anything but occupies a high position, this is unbearable for them, and the clan that supports them behind them can not bear it, pulling out this thorn in the eye can make them feel at ease, whether it can be effective depends on the move today, everyone is staring at the battlefield in front of them.

As the minutes passed, Meng Ge, who was clasping his hands on his chest, suddenly said to Xu Rong: "Zaiyu, this thing is a trouble, with this, the speed of their landing in the city is at least several times faster, and they will destroy their ladder, can it be done?" ”

Xu Rong, who was not optimistic, hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "General Huiyu, there is no room to attack, it is almost impossible to destroy the ladder, this ladder is too huge, and the wood used is also exquisite, it should be a very good wood, I am afraid it will be difficult to smash it from above, plus the workmanship is exquisite, if you don't attack, it will be difficult to do this." ”

It is indeed this truth, the huge ladder of up to four or five meters, the wood used is carefully selected, it is not easy to smash it, plus the mud is painted on the surface, the fire prevention ability is also considered to be passable, it is indeed not so easy to destroy, Mongo also saw that if the ladder is erected, it may be difficult to get down the ladder is not an ordinary ladder, there are hooks at the front end of the ladder, once the city wall is hooked, it is difficult to push it away, unless it is loose below, so that the ladder can be separated from the city wall.

Looking at the behemoth below, Meng Ge was distressed for a while, pondering for a while before saying: "In this case, then press their attack back, the advantage of occupying the high place can be well played, let the crossbowmen shoot the people who climb up, don't let them have an easy chance to come up, let's deal with it like this first!" ”

"Understood!" Xu Rong immediately went down to prepare, the enemy took out so many cloud ladders at one time, this will not be a test of the surname's attack, it should be ready to really fight a tough battle, Xu Rong did not dare to be careless.

The huge cloud ladder continued to approach the city wall, everyone took a bite of saliva, Xu Huang, who was in charge of the defense of a section of the city tower, calmly looked for the opportunity, just when the enemy was close to the shooting range, Xu Huang suddenly shouted loudly: "Crossbowmen, suppress, don't let them come over!" ”

"Huh!" At the moment when Xu Huang gave the order, the sound of arrows leaving the strings of Qi brushing continued to come, followed by the sound of breaking the air in full swing, and the first wave of arrow rain came, and countless arrows flashing with cold light suddenly appeared in the sky, and the deadly arrows quickly crossed the gap between the enemy and us, and went straight to the front of the enemy.

"Top shield!" No one dares to have the slightest carelessness, the city tower instantly brushed up the shield, if you panic in the face of the rain of arrows, it is the best way to kill yourself on the top of the big shield, if there is no shield, then ask for more blessings, this time can not be so much.

"Ahh The screams were endless, with the arrival of the first wave of arrow rain, a few of the soldiers besieging the city fell to the ground, the power of the crossbow was amazing, but this wave did not seem to cause the ideal blow, the power of the strong crossbow taken in Mongo was amazing, most of the soldiers in front of them were on top of the big shield, and the protective area was also more than the previous situation.

"Yes!" It seems that the enemy has learned to be obedient, Xu Huang's face was slightly displeased, the defense in front of these soldiers with big shields was like a turtle, the blow caused by this wave was almost minimal, there was no need to carry out a second wave of tentative attacks, Xu Huang decisively stopped blocking the enemy.

On the other side, Xu Rong also discovered this situation, the enemy's shield is a lot bigger, and almost one person, it is almost impossible to suppress the enemy army, rather than wasting arrows, it is better to stay in the enemy army when attacking the city, the first wave of attack with thunder and rain is instantly dumb, and the city tower is quiet and terrible for a while.

Seeing that the enemy's first wave of strikes failed, Yuan Shu immediately stood up and laughed: "Hahaha, it really works, it's not in vain that we spent a lot of effort to catch up with these big shields, everyone, look at it, the enemy's strong crossbow really didn't achieve the expected effect!" This time, we're going to make that Mongo look good! ”

"It's too early for Brother Highway to be happy, let's take a look first!" Liu Dai said lukewarmly.

"Humph!" Yuan Shu, who couldn't hold his breath, didn't bother with Liu Dai either, and went straight back to his seat.

The people who carefully observed the situation on the battlefield did not relax in the slightest, Mongo was not a fuel-efficient lamp, it was just a temporary attack setback, this would not have any impact on Mongo, it was just a big shield, if it could cause trouble to Mongo, it would be a strange thing.

The situation on the battlefield immediately changed, the big shield of the coalition army played a key role, under the protection of the big shield, there were very few casualties, plus the shot was too far, but it had just entered the killing range, and it was understandable that it did not work, Meng Ge was not in a hurry, and Xu Rong and Xu Huang were not in a hurry, this was just the beginning.

The enemy approached very quickly, and just after the enemy approached fifty steps again, Xu Huang ordered unhurriedly: "Adjust the shooting angle, shoot from the side and the front respectively, let them see, there is not only one shooting angle!" ”

Since the big shield blocks the shooting angle in front, then start from the side, and if you can't shoot from the front, then start from the side, sometimes you don't need to think that you are strong, and it is also a way to reach the goal in a roundabout way.

Just when the coalition soldiers thought they were at ease, the deadly arrow rain came again, the arrows flying in the sky were simply dazzling, and they didn't know which angle to resist was the best choice, and after a moment of hesitation, the arrows flew instantly, and in an instant, the soldiers advancing in front of the coalition army suffered a great setback, and many people were shot into hedgehogs.

"Keep it on!" Xu Huang did not hesitate to give the order to attack again, and the rain of arrows became extremely dense again, and the original frontal attack was instantly converted into a multi-angle attack, which was a nightmare for the coalition soldiers, and they suddenly became a dense net of arrows in the face of the rain of arrows, and they would be derogated to hedgehogs if they were not careful.

On the other hand, Xu Rong is also not slow, the big net woven by the rain of arrows is simply desperate, a huge arrow net suddenly appeared in front of Hangu Pass, and the coalition soldiers who continued to advance one after another continued to fall to the ground and die like cutting wheat, many people were actually hit by several arrows, and when they were dying, they still had their eyes open, and they didn't blink their eyes.

"This!" The princes of the coalition army stood up one after another, and the specific firing route could not be seen clearly in the rear, but they could see their own people falling in rows, and the originally scheduled big shield could only hinder a little attack from the enemy, whether it was Yuan Shao or others, their faces became extremely ugly.

There may have been some luck just now, Meng Ge had no way to break the deadlock immediately, but now Meng Ge immediately told you that this kind of thing is useless in front of him at all, unless you wrap people like iron buckets, otherwise the strong crossbow still has the ability to hit fatally, and the angle of play is also a way to play, the top shield may not work sometimes, and the misplaced attack is sometimes a huge breakthrough.

"What a powerful arrow team, whether it is oblique shooting or frontal shooting, the timing is as good as fire, it seems that it is indeed very set, it seems that it is still underestimated by Mongo!" Looking at the arrow net in front of him, Huang Zhong sighed sincerely, in this way, it is simply the impact surface of the bow and crossbow to the extreme, just from this small change, it can be seen that the enemy commander's understanding of the crossbow soldier has reached the extreme, and even Huang Zhong has to obey.

For the understanding of bows and arrows, Huang Zhong thought that he would not lose to any general, but now he saw the application of the crossbow array by the Menggo army, and he had to say that he admired, such arrows are almost pervasive, with the current area of the shield, it is too difficult to guard, and it is too difficult to defend against it when it is shot from one side to the other, and it is impossible to prevent it, if it is closer, it can also be shot from the top of the head, so it is even more difficult to defend.

Seeing this scene, Meng Ge was extremely satisfied, and said to himself: "The effect is okay, it's a waste of arrows!" ”

Xiahoulan next to him suddenly rolled his eyes, this is still called okay, this lethality has reached the sky, I didn't see the people in front of me like cutting wheat, one by one they fell like this, this is purely standing and talking without back pain, if this is not good, it will be called hell, but Xiahoulan didn't expect Meng Ge to be thinking about the machine gun at all.

"If you want to come, you can't succeed without paying the price of blood!" Xu Huang looked down at the battlefield indifferently, and there was a price to pay if he wanted to get close to the city wall, and the coalition soldiers who kept falling to the ground below were proof of iron and blood.

Ji Ling's heart was dripping blood at this time, this ladder has not yet approached, and the loss is already so huge, if you want to push the ladder up, you must not leave a corpse in the ground, this is all a surname, Ji Ling is very anxious, but in the face of the enemy's powerful crossbow arrows, no one has much to do.

The battle became more and more intense, Pegasus kept galloping on the battlefield, the corners of Meng Ge's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Xiahoulan, let the bed crossbow be in place, find the enemy's front-line generals, and the little leader will also become, don't be soft, give me a hard beat!" ”

"Understood!" Xiahou Lan has been waiting for this time for a long time, and the generals below can see that he is itching in his heart, it is really a bit of a tyrannical thing to put it like this, it is better to quickly accept them, let them see the king of Hades as soon as possible, so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible, and the excited Xiahou Lan hurriedly ran down.

With a range of up to 1,500 meters, the bed crossbow is a nightmare for anyone, and when it comes to striking the enemy's command system, the bed crossbow has a huge advantage, as long as the enemy dares to stand blatantly on the battlefield and command, then the Grim Reaper will accompany them at any time.

"Hurry up and push the ladder up!" The little boss who didn't know that he had been targeted was screaming hard, and suddenly the sharp arrow in front of him was killing quickly.

"Dubo, get out of the way!" As soon as the words fell, Dubo, the squad that was still alive just now, instantly turned into a corpse, and the huge crossbow arrow pierced his thin body, and there was a fellow guy next to him.

The bed crossbow finally exerted its might, and the death of the enemy generals surged instantly, and the chilling huge crossbow arrow was too powerful, and it was a dead word when touched, and this terrible weapon finally exerted the power that he should have, and a new problem was once again placed in front of the coalition forces.

How to deal with the fire from the bed crossbow and let Mongo shoot the generals, I am afraid that it will not be long before this coalition army becomes unavailable......
