Chapter 203: Attack, Break the Barrier
Seeing the rout soldiers rushing across the river like a tide, Meng Shu was in a hurry to lead his own guards to block the river bank, Meng Huo stood at the front, and roared loudly with a plate axe: "Whoever dares to retreat, I will chop him alive!" The routs stopped, staring at each other. Meng Huo waved his axe: "Go back!" The defeated soldiers were frightened and turned around and ran back.
LΓΌ Bu's army bombarded with long-range firepower such as catapults for a while, and then 10,000 assault troops began to attack. Due to the narrow terrain here, only so many troops could be invested in the siege at one time.
The shield hand protected the assault force and slowly advanced, and the barbarian soldiers on the city wall fired arrows with the Southern Barbarian Earth Bow, and the arrow rain was very dense, and they hit the shield with a ding-ding dong, and they were basically bounced off! The barbarian archers could barely do damage to the Lu Bu army!
There was no moat in Chengguan, and more than 10,000 assault troops rushed directly under the city wall. Ladders braved the rain of rocks and arrows to climb the city walls, and a heavy city cart with long iron chains was pushed into the gate by the army, and slammed into the city gate with a loud bang.
A rain of arrows suddenly fell from the city wall, several Han soldiers under the city wall fell to the ground with arrows, the Han crossbowmen immediately counterattacked when they saw this, dozens of crossbow arrows roared up, and several barbarian soldiers who were poking their heads out were immediately hit by arrows, screaming and falling down; The rolling stones and trees rumbled down, and the Han soldiers were smashed down one by one, and the Han soldiers watched the light bed crossbow aimed at the city, sending out a strong rain of arrows.
Finally, the Han army climbed the city wall, and countless barbarian soldiers poured up, and the Han soldiers who had just climbed the city wall were outnumbered and soon died! However, then more Han soldiers rushed to the city wall, and fought bloody battles with the barbarians, swords and guns roared and killed, you give me a knife and I will give you a shot, and both were killed; Outside the city, the crossbow bed crossbows swept the city desperately, and each wave of attacks swept away a barbarian soldier like a gust of wind.
The barbarians were about to be overwhelmed.
Meng Yu, who was on the south bank, saw the scene of the fierce battle on the north city wall, and was frightened, and quickly ordered Meng You to immediately lead the army to reinforce. Meng You led thousands of people to rush across the suspension bridge.
Boom! With a loud bang, the city gate jumped open, and then, Zhang Lang's eight hundred tigers and thousands of horsemen poured into the city gate, just hitting Meng You's thousands of soldiers and horses. Meng You was startled, raised his scimitar and shouted, "Rush! "Thousands of barbarians rushed forward like mad beasts.
Thousands of iron horsemen, rolling up thunder, rolling like a wave towards the barbarian army, Zhang Lang carried Fang Tian's halberd and carried the red rabbit horse, taking the lead!
Rumble! Thousands of iron horsemen rushed into the enemy thicket. Iron hooves trampled, horses were assassinated, and barbarian soldiers fell to the ground with blood splashed, and the scene was like a wind sweeping away leaves! With a single charge, Meng You's thousands of barbarian troops suffered heavy casualties and completely collapsed! Meng You crawled on the ground and escaped across the river with more than a dozen relatives!
"Big, big brother, they, they're amazing! My people, one photo is all over! Meng You panted.
Meng Yu ignored Meng You, and hurriedly ordered a general beside him: "Quickly cut down the drawbridge!" The general immediately led the army and prepared to move.
However, at this moment, the suspension bridge suddenly shook violently, and it turned out to be hundreds of Han army tigers under the leadership of Zhang Lang rushing across the suspension bridge!
Zhang Langse had hundreds of tigers, bending bows and shooting arrows while galloping with chariots and horses. The rain of arrows was strong and precise, and the barbarian general and dozens of soldiers who were about to cut the drawbridge were shot to the ground, and they were lucky enough to drop their axes and flee backwards.
Meng Shu raised his grip on the axe and stared at Zhang Lang, who was rapidly approaching, and shouted, "Come on, I'll fight with you!" β
Zhang Lang pulled the bowstring and it was an arrow, and the arrow turned into a black light and Sun Jian crossed the space between the two. Fortunately, Meng You's eyes are quick, and he uses a leather shield to block it! Poof, the leather shield was pierced in an instant, and the arrow changed direction and plunged headlong into Meng Shu's left shoulder. Meng Shu snorted.
Meng You shouted urgently: "Retreat!" Evacuate! β
The soldiers hurriedly took charge of Meng Shu's evacuation of the city pass, and the barbarian army saw that the commander had run away, and they all had no intention of fighting, and fled out of the city pass one after another.
An hour later, the battle in the city pass was completely over, and the barbarians were killed and captured. Lujin Pass is such a dangerous pass, and it was broken in just half a day!
Zhang Lang ordered the army to rest and recuperate temporarily, while waiting for logistics and grass.
Meng Shu led 60,000 rout troops to flee south in a daze, everyone looked depressed, and the excitement when they first started the army not long ago has basically disappeared and is invisible! The combat power of the Han army is far beyond imagination, and they can't help but be equipped as much as possible, and they are not afraid of death, and the soldiers and officers are simply monsters in the forest! There is also that Lu Bu, the prancing horse is vertical and horizontal, Fang Tian's halberd is invincible, and even Meng Yu, the number one warrior in the hearts of all barbarians, was defeated in a blink of an eye, and was almost killed! Whether it is the leader or the soldiers, their confidence has been shaken, and they can't help but feel that if they continue to fight with the Han army, the end will be very miserable!
Zhu Rong had just returned to his tribe when he received the news of Meng's defeat. He was extremely shocked that Lu Bu had captured Lujin Pass in half a day.
The old priest, who thought that Zhu Rong was quite respectful, frowned and said, "This Lu Bu is really worthy of his name!" The great general of the Han Empire is really brave! What a Sirius descend on! Hugh said that Meng Huo, I'm afraid that all of us in the Nanban together are not his opponents! β
Zhu Rong frowned, "But the matter has come to this, we can only fight him to the end!" He glanced at the high priest and asked with a look of hope, "High priest, you are good at observing the stars, do you know what the gods have to predict?" β
The High Priest sighed, "I saw the White Tiger Star fall last night, I'm afraid it's not good for us Nanban!" Queen, let's stop fighting and find a way to reconcile with the general. β
Zhu Rong pondered: "If we look for it now, even if we can reconcile, we will definitely be despised." It's not time yet. β
After Meng Shu lost the Lujin Pass, he led his army to retreat to Yu Yuancheng on the shore of Kunming Lake. This is a small county town by Kunming Lake, which is considered to be Meng Huo's lair.
Soon after, Zhu Rong led 50,000 female soldiers and wolf poison infantry to Yu Yuan. At the same time, the vulture bone led 30,000 vine armor soldiers to Yu Yuan.
Meng Shu, who was originally depressed, immediately gained confidence again and prepared to counterattack Lujin Pass. However, Zhu Rong made it clear that he was against it. Zhu Rong said to Meng Shu: "The current strength of our army is not stronger than before!" If you attack rashly, the command will repeat the mistakes of the past! We should take advantage of the mountainous terrain of Kunming Lake to deal with the Han army! As long as we can hold out for a while, I believe that something will happen in the Central Plains, so that Lu Bu has to give up attacking Zhongnan, and then our opportunity will come. β
