At the close, the power of the repeater has been greatly reduced due to the angle, and if it were on flat ground, the repeater would take the lives of more soldiers.

In the face of such sharp weapons, the attacking coalition soldiers were a little dazed, looking at each other, trembling all over, thinking of retreating, if it weren't for the sword and axe hands in their rear, I am afraid they would have retreated.

Yuan Shao's face was a little pale, and he said, "What kind of weapon is this?" The 5,000 soldiers besieging the city lost nearly 2,000 people in an instant, which made him a little at a loss, and the besieging soldiers fell like cutting wheat, and the shock can be imagined.

"This is probably the crossbow car of the Xiliang Army, which is said to be able to fire six crossbow arrows at a time, which is not as powerful as the bed crossbow, and it is better than the number." Cao Cao explained.

"What a crossbow cart, it has such power, don't attack it today, let the soldiers withdraw." Yuan Shaodao.

Cao Cao hurriedly persuaded: "Alliance leader, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, today is the first battle of our army, if it is anticlimactic, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army, although the crossbow is powerful, it will take a long time to wind it, so why not let the soldiers attack." ”

Another 5,000 soldiers were thrown into the battlefield, and the soldiers in front saw that there was no way to avoid it, so they could only clench their weapons with pale faces and climb along the ladder.

The hot dung juice and oil had been boiled, and a scoop was poured head-on, and the soldiers who were not protected by armor let out a terrible cry under the oil and dung juice, one after another, and the soldiers besieging the city looked at each other.

The lethality of the boulder was great, and the princes and soldiers could still endure it, but so many terrible screams suddenly sounded on the battlefield, but they were a little at a loss, and after so many battles, it was the first time that they were injured like this.

Seeing that the crossbow car strings had been put on, Guo Yan did not hesitate to order the launch again, and his face couldn't help but feel a little painful, these crossbow arrows cost a lot of money, and one time was a lot of money.

The crossbow arrows that made the coalition soldiers look different once again appeared in the sky above them, and at this moment, they even forgot to shout and forget to attack, and could only watch the crossbow arrows shoot through their bodies, and then carry themselves to the rear, the huge impact made them suddenly feel how small they were.

10,000 soldiers were put in before and after, but only 5,000 returned, and the losses were not insignificant.

Yuan Shao's face has always been gloomy since the beginning of the attack, when attacking the city in the past, he has ever encountered such a scene, the tenacity of resistance, it can be said that it is the first time in his life, he thought that the soldiers were elite, even if they could not capture Hangu Pass at one time, they could also inflict heavy losses on the defenders, who knew that the soldiers basically did not engage the defenders head-on, so they ended up with hatred, and even the enemy's clothes did not touch, and they fell.

What made Yuan Shao's headache even more headache was the screams of the wounded soldiers under the oil and dung juice, even he was a little frightened when he heard it, in such a situation, what kind of attack was there to talk about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xiliang army on the gate has a crossbow cart, and it is difficult for our army to win in a hurry, I don't know what a good strategy is?" Yuan Shaodao.

Today's siege, all the princes were on the scene, the field was surprisingly silent, under the power of the crossbow carts, not to say that it was ordinary soldiers, they saw with their own eyes that a general who was supervising the battle on the battlefield was shot through by the people and horses.

"Wen You, you used to be in Bingzhou, do you have this kind of crossbow in your hand?" Yuan Shao stared at Li Rudao with burning eyes.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Ru, they were amazed at the power of the repeater cart, and they were extremely eager to get such a weapon, with the ability of their craftsmen, they would definitely be able to make a repeater cart, thinking of the invincible situation when the army was equipped with such a weapon, everyone's eyes could not hide the look of desire, such a weapon was enough to change the outcome of a war.

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Like a weapon like a crossbow car, the Xiliang Army is quite strictly controlled, and it has appeared in Bingzhou and Yanmen Pass before, but after the fact, it was all pulled back to Chang'an, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach at all." ”

Cao Cao said slowly: "Actually, this kind of crossbow car is not without a way to crack it. ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Does Meng De have a good plan? ”

"Our army has recently obtained the method of making thunderbolts, which can throw huge stones onto the city wall, as long as they secretly make such thunderbolts, they will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the defenders and crack the opponent's repeater carts." Cao Cao said, so far, Cao Cao has also told the secret of the general, and the thunderbolt is a weapon that Cao Jun has recently researched.

"Thunderbolt? Throwing stones from under the city to the city? The people in the tent didn't react for a short time.

"Brother Meng De has a very good plan, gather craftsmen, make it day and night, and be sure to deal a heavy blow to the defenders and completely destroy their crossbow carts." Yuan Shao stroked the palm daxiao.

No matter what kind of weapon Cao Cao said, as long as it can suppress the defenders in the city, it is a good weapon, and the princes have daxiao, as if they have seen the Xiliang army stunned in the face of the boulder falling from the sky.

Yuan Shao summoned craftsmen to hurry up and make it selfish, after the production, the thunderbolt will no longer be a secret, just lost thousands of soldiers The depression is swept away, that is, the loss of 10,000 soldiers can get a powerful weapon production method is also worth it, the soldiers can be recruited again, and the weapon is passive everywhere on the battlefield.

After a siege of the city, the princes outside the pass did not move, as if they were hit by huge losses, and no longer attacked the city, the gate of the camp was closed, and the sound of soldiers shouting was heard from time to time.

Guo Jia is not as simple as the generals of Guan Shang, the princes outside the gate have gathered the elite soldiers of the whole world, and they will definitely not give up easily, Yuan Shao and others believe that they understand better than him that the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the princes' army, after all, they have more than 300,000 people, while the Xiliang army only has tens of thousands.

In Jiangxia City, with the protection of lone wolf soldiers, Jia Rong's security has risen by an unknown level, and Jia Xu has also made a lot of efforts, and a thousand lone wolf soldiers have protected Jia Rong's safety, which is absolutely generous.

Now that the princes are knocking on the pass, if they learn that Jia Rong is in Jingzhou, they will definitely set off stormy waves, maybe the princes will turn around and encircle and suppress, Jia Rong is too important to the Xiliang Army, not only the officials and generals of the Xiliang Army know, but also the princes of the world.

In an extremely comfortable room in the city, Jia Rong was satisfied with lying on the bed, letting Mihuan serve, no way, Jia Rong can't move his limbs now, he is an out-and-out uncle, and he is taken care of by a beautiful woman like Mihuan, which is even more comfortable.

"Huan'er, do you know my identity?" Jia Rong asked suddenly.

Mi Huan was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "Young Master Rong, as long as I can follow you, even if you are a robber and thief, it doesn't matter." ”

"Huan'er, Bing Xue is as smart as you, do you also think that I am a chivalrous hero who has killed countless people on the rivers and lakes? What else is self-proclaimed as a great general? Jia Rong said.

"Who is Mr. Rong?" Mihuan asked.

"Your eldest brother is Xuzhou, why is he so respectful to me, it is all because of my identity, otherwise a strong man in the rivers and lakes, how can he have such treatment, don't say that it is your eldest brother, even Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others will be surprised if they know me." Jia Rong said slowly.

Mi Huan also remembered Jia Rong's appearance when he was in Mi Mansion, the eldest brother was afraid of not taking good care of him, and after thinking about it, he found that Jia Rong's identity was really different, if he was really a person who walked the rivers and lakes, the eldest brother would not be like that.

"To tell you the truth, I am the commander of the Xiliang Army, a general in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, not a self-styled general who walks the rivers and lakes." Jia Rong said solemnly.

Since he opened his heart to Mihuan, he no longer wanted to hide anything, and after these few days, Jia Rong was able to feel Mihuan's heart.

Mi Huan couldn't react for a while, and pointed at Jia Rong in a daze and said, "Command the world's soldiers and horses?" The commander of the Western Liang Army? ”

Jia Rong nodded lightly.

Mihuan of course knows the name of the Xiliang Army, looking at the whole world, the strongest military is only the Xiliang Army, in the people, the Xiliang Army is like a mythical existence, and its main general Jia Rong is even more miraculous, repeatedly victorious, the strong Xianbei Army in front of him is like a chicken and a dog, vulnerable, all kinds of deeds, it is actually in front of this Rong Gongzi who has to take care of himself to eat and drink.

"Are you really the commander of the Xiliang Army? The one in Chang'an? Mi Huan asked again, looking at Jia Rong's gaze more and more incomprehensible, from his body, Mi Huan did not feel any heroism, and even Zhang Xiu and others were slightly inferior, of course, these words could not be said, otherwise Jia Rong would definitely smile bitterly when he heard it.

Jia Rong said: "Huan'er, as you just said, no matter what identity you and I are, it is difficult to stop us from being together, even if everyone in the world opposes it, I will use the soldiers and horses in my hands to beat them until they are completely convinced." ”

"In fact, your eldest brother asked you to follow me that day, which also has this meaning, the Mi family has a deep foundation in Xuzhou, and after going to Chang'an, many things are not so smooth." Jia Rong said.

Mi Huan's face was slightly red, his head was lowered, and he didn't know where to put his hands, even if he got along with Jia Rong recently, he had never heard such naked love words.

"If there is chaos today, and the princes wave their troops to Hangu Pass, my identity is a first-class secret, and there can be no leakage in the slightest."

Mi Huan nodded solemnly, and then said: "Rongda"

Jia Rong smiled: "You can call me eldest brother or Rong Gongzi, or husband." ”

Mihuan said in a low voice: "Dengzi." ”

"Rong Gongzi's injury should be rushed to Changsha for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for your health." Mihuan is still accustomed to calling Jia Rong the son of Rong.

Jia Rong said: "We will set off for Changsha tonight, and then return to Chang'an, and when the princes retreat, I will announce to the world and marry Huan'er as his wife." ”

Mi Huan's face was flushed, and he nodded slightly, looking at Jia Rong's heart was rippling, but he couldn't move his limbs, so he was only anxious.

For ten days in a row, the princes' army outside Hangu Pass did not have any movement, this matter is not Guo Jia, even Huaxiong felt that something was wrong, the princes' army had 360,000 people, even if the first day of the attack was lost and the troops were blocked, they would not give up lightly.
