Chapter 486: The lone wolf is mighty
"The lord is wise!" Several people bowed together, Jia Rong alleviated the crisis in the army as soon as he came, and all the generals felt very comfortable, and their worries were completely put down, as if as long as the generals and Jia Rongtian collapsed, they would not worry.
The next day, the sky was cloudless, and the dazzling sun shone on the body, making people feel extremely hot and dry all over their bodies, and now it was already summer, not to mention the war, even if they stood on the gate for a while, they would sweat.
Jia Rong, who was dressed in gold armor, appeared on the pass, and the sword on his waist was replaced by an ordinary sword, it is said that the most indispensable thing in ancient times was the sword, but in the Xiliang army, there were only two Yitian Sword and Qingyu Sword, and Jia Rong had also ordered Xianlian Pavilion to collect swords at all costs.
"All the soldiers listen to the order, take precautions, the army of the princes will attack the city, and they will be allowed to return with their feathers!" Jia Rong walked through the soldiers and said loudly.
The soldiers who heard it were a minority, but under the mutual information of the soldiers, soon all the defenders on the pass knew about it, and everyone knew that Jia Rong had come to the gate and fought the enemy with them, thinking of this, all the soldiers felt that the blood was boiling, and looked at the princes outside the pass, with a burning light in their eyes, no matter how powerful the enemy was, there was no need to worry.
The banner of the word "Jia" is waving in the wind, Jia Rong lives under the handsome banner, looking at the neat pace of the princes' army, with a faint smile on his face, but it is just a false appearance, if it is a short encounter with the Xiliang army, there is only one way to defeat.
A total of fifty thunderbolt carts stood quietly on the gate, overlooking the army of princes under the gate, and it wanted to let the army of the princes see what the real thunderbolt was.
The defenders were also attracted by the things behind them, and watched from time to time.
In the middle of the coalition army, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, he looked at the tattered Hangu Pass, and said in a low voice: "If you don't break this pass, you will not withdraw the army!" ”
The princes of all walks of life have also understood, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, attacking Hangu Pass, it can be said that it is exhausting all family resources, consuming countless grains and grass materials, if it is in vain, it is not only the retaliation of the Xiliang army, but also the attack from the rest of the princes, and now the princes who are harmonious on the surface, in fact, have an abacus in their hearts, even if they send troops to attack Hangu Pass, they are all calculated clearly, how many men and horses have been lost by other princes, how much they have lost, how many weapons have been paid, etc., lest they suffer a little loss, the strength of the army is strong, Without a cohesive force, how can they fight against the Xiliang army, but the victory is due to their large numbers, and they have confidence in their hearts.
Li Ru wanted to spare no effort to attack Hangu Pass, but his generals listened to his orders, but the soldiers at the bottom were not, tens of thousands of troops, basically decoration, Li Ru only had to do their elite weapons, to provide other princes' armies, in order to achieve results.
Occupy the state and rebel against the Xiliang army, which also announced that Li Ru will be inseparable from Jia Rong, and he also understands that with Jia Rong's character, the first person to clean up is a traitor, if this battle cannot eliminate the Xiliang army, he will be the first unlucky.
For three days in a row, the princes' army did not have any abnormal movements, and the continuous battles made them a little unsupported, and the consumption of engineering ladders and other materials was particularly severe, and the follow-up materials were fundamental, and they could only look at the city and sigh.
The war drums sounded, and the princes and soldiers spared no effort to rush towards Hangu Pass, and the successive battles made the soldiers' jishu of dodging arrows and boulders on the city improved a lot, and the princes equipped the siege soldiers with the most haode armor to ensure that the lives of the soldiers could be saved under the oil and dung juice.
Jia Rong stood at the head of the city, quietly watching the alliance of the princes under the pass, the war is indeed the best means to turn the strong army into the elite, he is sure that when the initial attack, the soldiers under the pass will definitely lose twice as many soldiers under the rain of arrows on their own side as they do now.
"Prepare to open the door and go out to fight!" Jia Rong said coldly.
Zhang Xiu on the side hugged his fists and promised, a thousand lone wolf soldiers had already been prepared, he understood that Jia Rong was going to fight a battle to completely shake the military hearts of the princes' army, and Zhang Xiu was also looking forward to the invincible momentum of the lone wolf soldiers on the battlefield, which made the princes tremble.
The soldiers of the princes were still greeted by the terrifying oil and dung juice, and it was impossible for the armor to wrap the whole body, but whenever the skin exposed to the air was poured on, the pain was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Listening to the wails of the soldiers under the city, Jia Rong's expression was still the same, years of conquest had already made him hard-hearted as iron, war was death, and it would be a success.
"Kill!" Guo Yan's expression was a little excited.
Fifty catapults threw a load of stones at the city, and the unprepared coalition soldiers were thrown into chaos by the boulders falling from the sky, and under the boulders, even if they were protected by heavy armor, they could also be smashed into fools, not to mention that more soldiers had no armor to protect, relying only on their blood and weapons in their hands.
Once upon a time, Yuan Shao looked happy when he saw the princes and armies on the gate tired of dealing with the boulder, but now that the two sides have exchanged identities, the taste in his heart can be imagined.
"In the Xiliang Army, there are really many capable people, and it has only been a long time for the Thunderbolt to be developed, and its power is not inferior to that of our army." Cao Cao's tone was full of amazement.
"The other side has the advantage of the city, and the boulders launched are larger and more powerful than our army." Li Ru said worriedly, feeling bitter in his mouth, he didn't expect that his powerful weapon would be researched by the Xiliang Army in such a short period of time and used on the battlefield.
The war drums of the Chinese army are still rumbling, the coalition soldiers do not retreat, facing the difficulties, the war makes them accustomed to the sound of war drums, stepping on the corpses of their companions, once upon a time, they have become numb, they have seen too many dead people, the fear of war in their hearts is getting smaller and smaller, but in the dead of night, when I think back, thinking of my parents, wives and children in the distance, I am still afraid, the generals promised very well, but how many families have received pensions after the real death, the soldiers at the bottom do not understand the situation, and the small generals still know.
The flag waved, and the boulders on the thunderbolt were replaced with jars, and they were thrown towards the coalition soldiers, who had already attacked the city, and most of the jars fell in the middle and rear of the coalition soldiers.
Dense rockets shot towards the rear of the coalition soldiers, and a thick liquid flowed out of the jar that landed, and the experienced old man suddenly changed color, and the jar was filled with oil.
A raging fire burned among the soldiers, but in a moment, the flames were monstrous, and the attacking phalanx was reduced to two sections, and the coalition soldiers behind the flames could not stop retreating, no matter how loud the war drums were.
At this time, the gate was wide open, and the faces of the coalition soldiers showed a look of surprise, as long as the city gate was occupied, the time for Hangu Pass to be breached was coming, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops behind them, at this time, they did not know the situation in the rear.
Behind him, there was a soldier's painful wail, which attracted the attention of the soldiers in front, and when he looked around, he saw a monstrous sea of fire, and now it was summer, under the scorching flames, the soldiers felt extremely hot and dry, and the inexperienced soldiers were scurrying around in the formation, screaming in terror, and the fighting spirit that had finally gathered was broken by the screams of the robes.
Dressed in black and armor, holding a scimitar, every soldier is wrapped in armor, and even the war horses under him are also equipped with armor, which looks like moving black fortresses from a distance.
Heavy cavalry, if the cavalry makes the infantry tremble on the vast battlefield, then the heavy cavalry is invincible and irresistible.
A monstrous fire had just ignited among the attacking soldiers, and Yuan Shao's steady expression was gone, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops.
Li Ru sighed, he didn't expect that the Xiliang army would use the advantage of the thunderbolt to throw the oil off the gate and block the retreat of the attacking soldiers.
There is no rumbling war drums, the soldiers in black clothes and black armor are constantly harvesting the lives of the panicked coalition soldiers, if the princes see these soldiers at this time, they will be shocked by the speed of killing, the sword flashes, none of them miss, simple and practical moves, superb horsemanship, rigorous coordination, even if it is infantry, it is difficult to have such a cooperation.
In the face of this group of soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness, the black armor army did not hesitate at all, as if it was a fighting machine, tirelessly raising the knife, harvesting, one move and one style, giving people the feeling that it was very simple, but it contained huge lethality.
When the fire was extinguished, the corpses were shut down and flags were thrown on the ground.
Yuan Shao clenched his fists and gritted his steel teeth, since the beginning of the war, how could the princes' army have suffered such a loss, but it was just a short hour's effort, and there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left of the five thousand soldiers, and no soldiers had even climbed the city wall.
The obstruction of the sea of fire made the princes' army not see who the Xiliang army under the harvest pass was, but the princes could be sure that this team must be amazingly efficient, that is, two thousand pigs stood there for people to kill, and they couldn't be killed so cleanly in a short period of time, and no armor was left.
Accompanied by the majesty, the soldiers who closed the gate could smell the faint smell of meat.
The princes didn't see it, but the defenders on the pass saw it clearly, from beginning to end, the princes' army did not have any resistance, I don't know if the princes' army was too weak, or the Xiliang army was too strong, the princes' army that was able to climb the city wall bravely in the past was so weak, and more importantly, these soldiers who were wrapped in black armor were which of their own teams, the astonishing killing rate, the low loss rate, made the defenders forget the shout for a while.
"Lord, our army has such a strong army, why worry that the enemy will not be broken!" Guo Jia said excitedly.
Jia Rong nodded slightly, and said, "Is there no one in the Xiliang Army who is bullying me by the princes' coalition army?" ”
