Chapter 134: God of War Lu Bu
Seeing the miserable scene on the shut, Li Ru whispered with palpitations: "This stone throwing machine is so powerful, how did this thing be studied?" He turned his head to look at Lu Budao: "Wen Hou, this is not a way, let the sergeants hide under the city wall for the time being, I don't believe that this stone thrower can shoot non-stop." After all, he was the chief strategist beside Dong Zhuo, although he was shocked in his heart, he could still see the shortcomings of the stone thrower at a glance, he could throw such a heavy boulder, and the range could reach so far, it must be done by using external forces such as a winch, which would inevitably lead to the filling of the stone thrower not so quickly.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's okay, hide for a while, let the forward troops of the coalition army come forward, and when the time comes, the chaotic army will definitely not be throwing boulders." ”
After receiving Lu Bu's order, the defenders of the pass shrank behind the wall and used the heavy walls to protect themselves. However, the power of the stone throwing machine, which has been improved by Ao Lie, far exceeds people's expectations.
Peng Peng Peng –
Another burst of boulders was thrown and smashed against the wall. Huang Zhong, who commanded the stone thrower, was a well-known archer, and he keenly observed that the defenders on the pass had retreated behind the city wall, so before giving the order to throw the boulder, he specially ordered the sergeant to adjust the angle and lower the arc of the projectile slightly.
The boulder with the size of the millstone fell fiercely with the wind and thunder again, and this time the target was no longer the corridor for people to stand in the pass, but the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, which was known as a natural danger!
Bang Bang Bang –
One after another boulders smashed on the wall, smashing the city wall built with rocks, sparks on the solid city wall, and several boulders hit the city wall in the same position, and even there was a slight crack, and a trace amount of stones were smashed from the city wall to decompose, and the bones fell to the city.
Some of the defenders who were originally next to the city wall were affected by the huge anti-seismic force, and the five organs of the earthquake were out of place, and blood was spraying wildly from their mouths. Despite this, most of the defenders still leaned on the walls and vomited blood from the shock, which was much better than being smashed into meatloaf, right?
After two more rounds of projectiles, the trebuchet finally stopped in the terror of the defenders. Because, the forward troops led by Sun Jian were about to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass.
Four wheels! From the time when the forward troops began to attack, the trebuchet commanded by Huang Zhong carried out a total of four rounds of projectiles. Compared with the previous time when Yuyang was played in Youzhou, the efficiency of the stone thrower has increased by another round. Don't underestimate this extra round of projectiles, from three rounds to four rounds, although it is just a simple number superposition, but it is integrated into Wang Ao Laozu and Ao Lie's countless days and nights of hard work. The master and apprentice pondered for more than half a month before the efficiency of the stone thrower was improved.
After four rounds of projectiles, it not only created a fighter plane close to the city wall for Sun Jian's forward troops, but also formed an effective psychological suppression of the defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass, and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders. At this moment, there are hundreds of corpses lying on the tiger prison, and it is quite difficult to identify who the corpse is among these corpses, because most of the corpses have been smashed into meat pies and mixed with other meat pies, making it impossible to distinguish which piece of ** body belongs to which person.
Such a tragic scene made the brave and warlike Xiliang warriors feel a burst of shock, and even some recruits couldn't bear the panic in their hearts, and they threw up loudly while holding on to the city wall. Vomiting, like a plague, quickly spread from one person or two to a hundred, two hundred, or more. Many recruits or veterans with poor psychological quality began to vomit wildly.
Seeing this situation, Lu Bu said coldly: "Where is Gao Shun? ”
Pressing the hilt of the sword, with an unsmiling look on his face, Gao Shun walked up to Lu Bu with a steady step: "Gao Shun is here!" ”
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the sergeants who vomited wildly, Lu Bu said without any emotion: "No matter what method you use, immediately let them stand up straight for Benhou, and if there are any vomiters, behead!" ”
"No!" Gao Shun replied loudly, and led his eight hundred elites to the soldiers who were vomiting. These 800 people are elite infantry soldiers trained by Gao Shun, known as the "trapped camp". Don't look at the only 800 people, but its means are so powerful, the coordination is exquisite, it is enough to top 5,000 people on the battlefield, it can be said that Gao Shun's 800 camps are not inferior to Ao Lie's elite infantry Tiger Battalion, and even the quality of individual soldiers is higher than that of Tiger Battalion, but the number is not much.
Being able to single-handedly bring out such an elite as the trapped camp shows that Gao Shun is very good at leading soldiers. In less than half a column of incense, most of the soldiers who had vomited had straightened their bodies again, and only a few dozen of them were still vomiting. For the sake of the overall situation, Gao Shun coldly cut off the heads of more than a dozen people. Seeing Gao Shun's ruthless methods, the hearts of the other defenders were shocked, and they hurriedly took out their best mental state, for fear that Gao Shun would target him.
As soon as Gao Shun contained the wind of vomiting, Sun Jian's vanguard had already erected a ladder and began to officially attack the city. Sun Jian stood one hundred and fifty steps away from the Tiger Prison Pass, loudly commanding the officers and men of the coalition army to attack together, and cooperated with each other to launch the first wave of impact on the Tiger Prison Pass. Sun Ce wore a golden crown on his head and stood beside Sun Jian with a gun, as for Sun Ren and Sun Shangxiang, because the siege battle was the most tragic battle, Sun Jian did not let her follow, but stayed in the camp in the rear, and Huang Gai protected her safety.
"Auxiliaries, hang cowhides! Prevent enemy arrows from sneaking up! Sword and shield hand, vertical shield! Plug the gap between the coalition forces and the city! The long sought-after, go to the front line, and poke the cloud ladder of the coalition army to Ben Hou! Crossbowmen, fire arrows in all directions! Lu Bu issued one order after another in an orderly manner. At the beginning, Lu Bu and Ao Lie had fought against the Wuhuan people several times in Youbeiping, from Ao Lie, Lu Bu learned a lot of advanced command and combat skills, plus over the years with Ding Yuan and the Huns for many years, Lu Bu no longer has the image of a reckless man in history. Although there is still a certain distance from the famous general, at least, he is still at ease by relying on the dangerous tiger prison to arrange troops and resist the siege of the coalition army.
The rows of defenders obeyed Lu Bu's orders and began to carry out their respective tasks according to the different types of troops. The soldiers on both sides began to confront each other head-on, which meant that the killing was kicked off.
The people of Xiliang are good at riding and are even better at using spears. It is known as the spear and horseman. This point is vividly reflected in Ma Chao's body. The sought-after sought-after Xiliang chiefs who defended the city, after receiving Lu Bu's order, raised their spears one after another, and stabbed down hard towards a section of the ladder on the city wall, although they could not directly knock over the ladder, but it still caused a wave of the ladder, so that the coalition soldiers who were climbing the ladder could not climb smoothly, and even some people were shaken and lost their center of gravity, fell from the high ladder, and brought a series of calls for help in the air.
The crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army, who were also unwilling, bent their bows and arrows, and shot indiscriminately at the pass. The equipment of the coalition army will naturally not be as sophisticated as the sergeants under the command of Ao Lie, and the armor is not uniform, because of the restrictions of the times, so many princes are reluctant to assign the weapons and armor cast from copper and iron to an ordinary soldier to use, which leads to the fact that many coalition soldiers have very poor weapons and equipment, and it is good to have a thin leather armor to wear. Because of this, the arrows shot down by the Xiliang army immediately received an immediate effect. With the inertia of falling from a height, the arrows pierced the bodies of one coalition army after another, knocking down the coalition forces that were trying to climb up the ladder. The screams immediately rang out in the coalition forces.
Seeing that the vanguard in the front was frustrated, Gongsun Zhan, who was the second echelon, immediately shouted loudly: "White Horse Yicong, all scattered, and suppressed the tiger prison with random arrows!" "Five thousand white horses whistled one after another, and then instigated the war horses, began to run, in the running to find the target on the city, will suddenly brake suddenly, let the sitting war horse stand firmly on the spot, and then quickly bend the bow and arrows, to the target that has been found in advance. Because in the late Han Dynasty, the Three Treasures of Horses only existed in the troops of Ao Lie, a prophet and seer, so even the white horse Yicong, who was good at riding and archery, could not shoot arrows while riding a horse, because the unilateral stirrups restricted their movements, so that they had to sit down on the war horse tightly with their legs, thus losing the waist span strength of archery while running.
But after all, Bai Ma Yicong is Bai Ma Yicong, and they are all carefully selected by Gongsun Zhan, and the accuracy and speed of their archery are really not to be picked. One by one, with a whistling of sharp arrows, they flew straight up to the Tiger Prison Pass, shooting Bai Ma Yi from the targets they had locked in advance one by one. The screams sounded at the gate, and the Xiliang soldiers who were taken as prey were unknowingly shot by the flying arrows, screaming and falling to the ground, or falling from the city wall, and falling to pieces.
Seeing the accuracy of Bai Ma Yicong's archery skills, Lu Bu immediately shouted: "Hou Cheng! Commanding the sergeants to hide behind the cowhide that had been hung up. Cao Xing, you go and command the crossbowmen and wait for the opportunity to fight back! "Hou Cheng and Cao Xing were originally generals of the Bingzhou Army, and after Ding Yuan's death, they took refuge with Gao Shun and others to Lu Bu. In addition, Wei Xu, Song Xian and several others also took refuge in Lu Bu, and were known as the eight strong generals under Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's command immediately had the desired effect. Hou Cheng led the sergeants to hide behind the cowhide, and continued to use his spear to stab the ladder of the coalition army non-stop; And Cao Xing was a well-known archer in the Bingzhou army, and he led the crossbowmen to dodge while shooting arrows to fight back.
The situation was soon reversed, and most of the arrows shot by the White Horse Servants were blocked by the cowhides hanging on the top of the city, and only a small part of them hit the defenders on the head of the city along the gap between the cowhides. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army, under the leadership of Cao Xing, the archer, condescended, and began a fierce counterattack against the vanguard of the front led by Sun Jian and the white horse Yicong who was not far away, and a large number of arrows flew down from the city with the wind, so that Sun Jian's department and the white horse Yicong had inevitable casualties.
In the Central Military Department of the coalition army, after Jia Xu saw Lu Bu's way of defending the city, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to Ao Lie: "Lord, your eldest brother is very similar to your tactics." Ao Lie's face covered by the dragon mask also showed a knowing smile, and he whispered: "Big brother can also use tactics, which is really gratifying." From now on, the prestige of the Tiger God of War will surely terrify his enemies. ”
Cao Cao, who was not far from Ao Lie, also observed the unfavorable situation, walked to Ao Lie's side and said: "Alliance leader, I didn't expect that this Lu Bu is not only brave, but also an expert in arranging troops, which should not be underestimated. Our army will be forced to change its tactics. ”
Ao Lie nodded and said in the direction behind him: "Ziyi, take the arrow tower and suppress the chaotic arrows shot by the city. At the same time, let Brother Bogui withdraw, Bai Ma Yi can never withstand such consumption. ”
Tai Shi Ci agreed, and commanded the sergeant to push the arrow tower away from the array. Seeing the arrow tower under Ao Lie's command, it can actually move, which surprised the princes from all walks of life, the arrow tower is the arrow tower, how can it still move? What's going on? If it weren't for the fact that they were fighting with the Xiliang army, I am afraid that there would be anxious princes who would come to Ao Lie to ask for clarification. Of course, whether Ao Lie will tell the secret of the Arrow Tower, only God knows.
The arrow tower, which is nine feet high and has three platforms on it, moves much faster after being improved again by Ao Lie. According to the way of tank tracks in later generations, Ao Lie lined up a row of logs at the bottom of the arrow tower, and then wrapped the logs layer by layer with cooked cowhide, which greatly reduced the manpower required to push the arrow tower. The only drawback is that the arrow tower is too heavy, and often pushes out about 100 meters, and the cooked cowhide that wraps the log will be crushed and broken, losing the wrapping force that guides the log to turn forward.
As the arrow tower was put into the battlefield, Cao Xing and other crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army were immediately suppressed by the allied crossbowmen on the top layer of the arrow tower, and they couldn't raise their heads. Although the Tiger Prison Pass is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean how high the wall of the Tiger Prison is, only with the help of two dangerous mountains adjacent to the pass, the city is built This Tiger Prison is a natural danger, and its height is not comparable to the arrow tower of nine zhang high.
The form was reversed again, and the condescending became the crossbowmen of the coalition army, because they were thrown from a high place to a low place, so the arrows shot by the coalition army were full of force, with huge inertia, and fell towards the city with a roar. The cowhide hanging at the head of the city could no longer protect the defenders from losses, and was pierced by arrows falling high, and some of the defenders hiding behind the cowhide were killed by arrows that pierced the cowhide because their vision was blocked by the cowhide. They didn't know exactly how they died.
