Chapter 227: Amazing Power
The coalition army wanted to get a temporary respite at the cost of retreating, but Mongo didn't give any chance at all, and directly swaggered out, and the coalition army that pursued after a chase was terrified, and the siege caused huge pressure.
The suppression of the bed crossbow, this formidable weapon, finally played its strategic role, and the powerful piercing ability made the allied soldiers frightened, and they almost did not dare to come forward, for fear of being hit by the bed crossbow, and the shield would be difficult to block the attack, unless a thicker iron shield was created.
The suppression ability of the bed crossbow is amazing, Xu Rong quickly began to set up the second earthen barrier, the first earthen barrier is more than the height of the city tower, which is used to form a suppression, and the second earthen barrier does not need to be too high, this earthen barrier needs to be wide, it must be enough for the soldiers to line up, the second earthen barrier is still a long-range attack, this time it will be the position of the strong crossbow.
This kind of siege method, Mongo called a hierarchical attack, so that their own attack is like a wave, sometimes rapid, sometimes calm, causing the greatest pressure on the enemy's tower, forming more and less in a local range, bullying the enemy is not enough range, and the fight is asymmetrical.
In the front line, under the cover of the shield, the soldiers worked quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the second earthen fortress gradually took shape, the width reached five meters, and the length was even more amazing.
"This!" Le's mind was completely confused, he didn't know what to say at all, looking at this posture, Meng Ge was ready to erect a city tower and directly wipe out the advantages of the city wall, but he had no way at all, and he could only hide behind the city wall, without even a trace of fighting back, Le felt deeply powerless, and the fatigue he had never had before constantly hit his mind.
Almost insoluble tactics, this is Mongo's attack, adhering to Mongo's consistent style, this time it is also an unsolvable tactic, compared to the cavalry's shooting, such a siege method, at this stage is temporarily impeccable, unless the coalition forces have the ability to repel Mongo, but the price to pay, I'm afraid no one knows.
The siege went extremely smoothly, but Xiahoulan kept frowning, he had quite doubts in his heart, there seemed to be a flaw in this approach, Xiahoulan was convinced that Menggo already knew, but Menggo did not solve it, this is not like Menggo's style
Finally, Xia Houlan couldn't help but ask: "General, the second city tower has begun to be set up, but this earthen fortress will be demolished at night, so won't we be busy in vain?" ”
From the beginning to the present, Mungo has always had a smile on his face, for this question, of course, Mungo has some thoughts, if his wall is really so easy to tear down, it will not be Mungo's style.
"Xiahoulan, it's winter, use your brains well!" Mongo pointed to his head, as if to point something.
What's wrong with winter, Xia Houlan is very puzzled, does winter have anything to do with siege? The two seemed to be completely incompatible, and he didn't quite understand what was worth thinking about this winter.
Looking at Xia Houlan's puzzled appearance, Meng Ge smiled strangely: "It's winter, the water will freeze, you said let's water a little, what will the earth fortress become?" ”
"This!" Xia Houlan was dumbfounded, poured some water on the earthen barrier, didn't this earthen barrier become an ice lump, I didn't expect the solution to be so simple, Xia Houlan's brain finally turned around.
Once the earth barrier is frozen, the degree of solidity is different, and if the coalition forces want to demolish the earth barrier, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, just to eradicate the earth barrier, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, and Mungo will not back down so easily, this battle is not over yet.
After a while, the front Pegasus reported: "General, the enemy forces are beginning to assemble from the rear!" There is an attempt to attack our right flank! General Yang Dingfang has already started to defend! ”
Meng Ge raised his eyebrows, the test finally came, Meng Ge almost didn't think about it, and immediately ordered: "Very good, send an order to Yang Dingfang, speed up, quickly arrange defenses, pay attention to the cavalry impact, don't let the enemy take advantage of it!" ”
"No!" The herald rushed away, the military situation was like fire, and the earlier the military order was transmitted, the less dangerous it was.
Without waiting for the herald to leave, Meng Ge drew the arrow again: "Xiahoulan, give Xu Huang an order to let him move, since the coalition forces choose the right flank, then Xu Huang's left flank should also move and act according to the predetermined plan." ”
"No!" Xia Houlan hurriedly received the order, the scheduled plan had already been agreed, Xu Huang knew that what to do was Xu Huang's task, and how to exert more pressure was the top priority.
The coalition forces are assembling in the rear, the direction of attack is temporarily on the left flank, that is, the right flank of Mongo, this time the coalition forces have no choice, Mongo pressed the two wings, the side can not go out, once out of the formation, it is bound to be attacked by Mongo, only from the rear to kill, and then from the flank, so that the formation can be launched.
Wen Chou is anxious, the battle situation is anxious, and then let Meng Ge suppress it, the coalition army is bound to break the city tower, there is nothing worse than this, we must immediately make a counterattack, repel Meng Ge's attack, this is what the coalition forces want to solve at present, only the attack can be effective.
Without waiting for the army to be fully assembled, Wen Chou immediately shouted: "Kill me with me!" ”
Gao Ran was almost scared to death, hurriedly blocked in front of Wen Chou, and arched his hand: "Wait, general, you can't be hasty, you must wait for the army to assemble, and the formation must not be scattered, otherwise Meng Ge will have a chance!" ”
How do you know that Wen Chou jumped on the war horse and shouted: "I know, but it's too late, the front army will be handed over to me, and you will be in charge of the rear army, adjust while running!" Let's attack it first, so that the side gate can send troops! ”
"This!" Gao Ran couldn't catch up, Wen Chou rode his horse and rushed up, and the soldiers who had just assembled followed, but there were still a large number of soldiers behind who could not keep up.
The army marched quickly, and suddenly raised a lot of dust, Gao Ran patted the dust, a helpless face, at this time it is useless to be anxious, only step by step is the best policy, once their own side is out of order, not only the attack is unfavorable, but also let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity, for the impulse of Wen Chou, Gao Ran is extremely helpless.
The coalition forces are approaching, and Yang Dingfang is not idle, he is shouting loudly: "Hurry up for me, set up a good position, and bury all the stumbling horses for me!" The coalition will come up later! ”
"Don't worry, old general, if they dare to come, I guarantee that they won't go back! Keep them to death! ”
"That's it, our brothers are familiar with each other, although Lord Du Wei can rest assured, nothing will happen!"
Yang Dingfang smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't say too much, I'll know when I come later, give me a little leisure, the battlefield is a place to kill!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, we won't joke with our surname!" The soldiers worked hard one after another, not daring to be sloppy in the slightest.
Since the right flank has launched a defensive posture, the fortifications have to be built naturally, and things such as rejecting horses are indispensable, relying on the natural terrain, Yang Dingfang quickly laid down heavy troops, and a steel defense line was suddenly formed, and at the critical point, several short city walls were erected early.
The earthen city wall is of little use, the infantry can climb over, but the cavalry cannot pass, the best way for the infantry to deal with the cavalry is to rely on the fortifications and defend on the spot, so that whether it is a tripping horse rope or a horse chopping knife, it can play a huge role.
In front of the city tower, the battle was still fierce, Zhang Liao looked down at the wall of the coalition army, his eyes were as sharp as a war eagle, ready to strike at the enemy army at any time, and suddenly there was a counterattack from the side.
Zhang Liao immediately waved the flag and ordered: "Right, shoot!" ”
The bed crossbow shooter immediately turned around, and the target was pointed directly at the place where Zhang Liao was pointing, and the bed crossbow had a huge range advantage, almost pointing wherever it hit, which was its strategic value.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! There was a sharp sound of breaking the air, and at the moment when Zhang Liaoling was under the banner, the cold light shone again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The breathtaking impact, the sharp piercing of the arrows, the fallen soldiers, the bleak picture.
"Hide and don't take the lead!" Le Jin held down the soldiers beside him.
"Whew! Call! The pressed soldier was dressed in a big gulp, his face full of horror, no one knew who would be next, when the enemy's powerful crossbow bolts would come, no one knew that the fear of death gripped him, and his inner struggle almost made it difficult for him to breathe.
Only by leaning against the female wall can the heart be quiet, and the man almost cried: "My lord, I'm afraid!" ”
Le Jin was not surprised at all, so he had to comfort loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just hide well, just wait for the opportunity to fight back, the enemy has not so many arrows, don't be afraid, it's just scary on the surface." ”
"Bang!" There was a feathered arrow that shot and pierced into the stone fiercely, with an incomparably amazing force, and the body of the arrow vibrated violently, and even the stone could be shot in, and the power was really amazing.
The coalition soldiers were terrified, in the face of such an attack, no one could keep their composure, even Le Jin felt worried, being shot by such a thing, either dead or maimed, such a terrifying power, the armor is a joke at all.
From a distance, dozens of earthen ramparts seem to be constantly spewing out cold rays, all of which instantly hit one place, and suddenly there will be screams from that place, as well as scattered rubble, and with a wave of the flag, there must be a blow, and some arrows actually pierced the city wall.
Directly below, Xu Rong's work is proceeding rapidly, but the amount of work has increased a lot, and this time the speed is much slower than the last time, but it is not tight, because the purpose has been achieved.
Sporadic counterattacks could not pose a threat at all, but the conscientious Xu Rong kept reminding: "The shield is for me to resist, don't let go!" Remember, behind you are robes, cheer me up! ”
There is no need for the slightest sloppiness in the war, a little negligence, the stray arrow can also take your surname, Xu Rong doesn't want his soldiers to die so badly, and they are killed in an absolute advantage, then you can only blame yourself.
The erection of the earthen fortress made the princes of the coalition army bleak, and once again tasted the lethality of the bed crossbow, and the Kwantung princes had already disappeared, and they were out of the attack range early, for fear of being shot.
Just a moment later, the soldiers on the city tower came to report in embarrassment: "Qi Qi Alliance Leader, the enemy army is attacking fiercely, and the second earthen fortress is taking shape!" ”
Yuan Shaoshu stood up and said angrily: "Second way! So soon to start! What are you going to eat? ”
The messenger soldier blushed, and said helplessly: "Return to the general, the coalition giant crossbow has huge lethality, and it is difficult to resist!" So can't fight back! ”
"Can't fight back!" Yuan Shao took a few steps back dizzily, what does it mean that he can't fight back, that means that he can't stop the enemy army at all, and the enemy's second earthen fortress should be fast.
Once the front is breached, the blow to the coalition forces is huge, and no one can remain indifferent, but what to do, this question has never been answered, and it is obviously not so simple to break the situation.
Yan Liang was already impatient, the battle situation was in crisis, this person finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "Alliance leader, you can't go on like this, it's better to rush out and fight with him!" ”
Cao Ying shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Rush out, who can rush out now!" Not even the side, let alone the front! Mongo's suppressive ability is too strong! ”
It may be unbelievable that the 110,000-strong army was suppressed, but in such a situation, it appeared, for example, when the Yellow Turban Army was attacked, although the Yellow Turban Army had a numerical advantage, it was broken by the official army, which fully proved that the army's numerical superiority could not be guaranteed to be transformed into victory.
The battle situation deteriorated again, and Liu Biao couldn't sit still, but he was looking forward to attacking early and breaking the endgame earlier, but the good news was delayed.
In a panic, Pegasus came again to report, "The leader of the Qi Alliance, General Wen Chou has been killed in front of the battle!" ”
"Smack!" Liu Biao suddenly stood up and shouted: "Okay, great, you must fight it!" ”
Finally the battle, Yuan Shao finally showed a smile on his face, finally there was good news, and now there is finally something to look forward to, there is no hope for this city tower.
At this time, Kuai Liang had been thinking for a long time, and finally thought of a method, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord, it is better to erect a thick plank at intervals, which can strengthen the defense and create space for counterattack!" ”
Liu Biao suddenly realized that this method is also the only defense method, but in this way, the space for counterattack becomes smaller, and it will be a problem to set up a flying bridge later.
Now Liu Biao has no choice, and immediately said this method, the right is to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, it is naturally good to be able to work, and if it can't work, the only way to do it is to stop.
"This method works, but how can there be so many planks in a short period of time?" Cao Ying asked another question, in exchange for a certain amount of space to fight back, it was naturally very useful, but the problem was that it was too late.
Just when everyone was worried, Yuan Shu chuckled and said: "What's so difficult about this, tear down all the doors that can be demolished, and send them all over!" ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, the door panel is also a board, and it can block it, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the door panel to be dismantled and sent over, but far water could not quench the thirst, and Zhang Liao's attack continued.
The shock of the city tower was enough, and Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "Extend back, shoot me into a dense area!" ”
Just a blow to the city tower could not satisfy Zhang Liao's interest, for the rear of the coalition forces, Zhang Liao also had a strong interest, as long as there was enough range, any position could be a target.
As the angle of the Ling Flag increased and the flag was played, the bed crossbow shooter immediately adjusted the angle, and the arrows of the bed crossbow immediately extended backwards, this time pointing directly at the rear of the coalition forces.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! Duan Zai's stopping, the bed crossbow fire turned on again, this time it was even more terrifying.
