The catapult once again brought a dense rain of stones, with the experience of the previous car, the defenders skillfully found a place to hide, but did not cause many deaths of soldiers, but the unknown death is the most terrible, maybe you are fighting with the enemy, but you are suddenly stoned to death, think about how miserable it will be, affected by the catapult, morale has more or less dropped.

Soon, a medical soldier dressed in white stepped forward, carried the wounded soldier down the city wall, and once again had troops to join the defense of the city, and reacted quickly before and after, fully reflecting what is called a strong army, the falling boulder will not fall because you are a wounded, and the medical soldier also competes on the battlefield with speed, and the battle of life and death, which is also Jia Rong's intention to train medical soldiers.

Seeing the scene of the soldiers of the princes under the pass, Guo Jia said: "General, quickly send cavalry out of the pass to meet the enemy, and strive to completely destroy the princes' army, which can throw stones." ”

Guo Yan thought so deeply and ordered: "General Zhao, you immediately lead a thousand cavalry out of the city." ”

"No!" Zhao Yun hugged his fists, and then hurriedly walked down the city wall.

The gate was opened, and a thousand cavalry rushed out, killing the soldiers of the princes in chaos, but without encountering decent resistance, they soon reached the center of the soldiers, the scimitars kept falling, and the catapults were chopped to pieces.

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, but after a while, more than 100 catapults were destroyed, and he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to step forward, resist the Xiliang army, and reorganize the offensive.

The resistance of the princes' armies doubled, and the pressure faced by Zhao Yun's troops instantly increased.

Guo Jia said worriedly: "General, the other party has this kind of stone-throwing weapon, which will take away all the benefits of our army's city, and if it goes on like this, lest it be unfavorable to the army's morale, why don't you send another general to lead the cavalry to destroy all these weapons, I think there are not many such weapons in the princes' army, and it can also give our army some time to prepare to deal with the princes' attacks." ”

Guo Yan thought deeply, "Huang Zhong, you lead a thousand more cavalry to fight out of the pass, just destroy all these things!"

"No!" Veteran Huang Zhong responded with a fist.

Under Yuan Shao's strong order, the princes' soldiers continued to attack the city gate, and the attacking princes' army suddenly found that they couldn't hit the closed gate, and they actually opened it themselves, and under the excitement, they rushed inward.

The sound of the horses' hooves rumbling made the excitement of the soldiers instantly turn into fear, they are infantry, there are many soldiers who even have no armor on their bodies, how to block the rain of arrows and the weapons of the cavalry, under the frightened gaze, Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to kill.

There were a thousand cavalry of Zhao Yun fighting in front, and Huang Zhong led the cavalry to kill in the back, and the two were combined, and the princes' armies on the battlefield were suddenly in chaos.

The elite armor of the horse scimitar of all colors slaughtered into the army of the princes, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and no one could stop it.

After breaking through the army of the princes, Huang Zhong led the army, the target was directed at the thunderbolt car, the princes' army had the intention to resist, but the other party was cavalry, and the weapons were excellent, the equestrian skills were exquisite, caught off guard, and were killed by the cavalry in front of the thunderbolt car, just a few slashes, the cavalry found that this terrible weapon that could throw stones was destroyed, and was excited.

The cavalry sent by the princes was also killed by Zhao Yun.

Among the princes, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered: "Yan Liang, you lead five hundred cavalry forward, be sure to protect the thunderbolt chariot." ”

Yan Liang led the cavalry to kill, Huang Zhong saw that the thunderbolt car had been destroyed, and he did not face the battle, and led the cavalry to rush into the pass, along the way, how dare anyone step forward to stop it, Zhao Yun and Yan Liang killed for a while, and also withdrew the army back to the city, Yan Liang led the army forward, closed the arrow and stone together, and could not advance.

Guo Yan praised: "Old General Huang is really old and strong, and he has greatly increased the military prestige of my Xiliang Army!" ”

Seeing that the princes could not succeed, they ordered the soldiers to retreat, but the effect of this attack was obvious, although the price of more than 4,000 people was paid, but the crossbow carts that the princes and soldiers saw were destroyed, and the morale was greatly increased, but the later self-chaos gave the Xiliang army a chance, otherwise it would be a big victory.

When he went to 500 catapults, when he came back, there were only more than 100, Yuan Shao ordered the craftsmen to build them, and at the same time discussed the matter of attacking Hangu Pass.

"Alliance leader, at this time, our army should speed up the manufacture of thunderbolt cars, the Xiliang army has many talents, maybe they will soon be able to come up with a way to deal with it, which is really unfavorable to our army, and this kind of thunderbolt car, the accuracy is not good, when tackling the key problems today, the first wave of boulders hitting the city wall is only half small." Li Rudao, he was the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo's account in the past, and his consideration was naturally deeper than these princes, and he would not be blinded by the short-term victory in front of him, today's victory could only be regarded as a small victory, and the Xiliang army was not injured.

"Wen You's words are yes, pass on the order, if any craftsman can improve the thunderbolt, there will be a reward." Yuan Shaodao.

Cao Cao stroked the sparse beard under his chin and said: "Not only that, our army also has to attack the city day and night, the loss of the crossbow cart on this pass must be not small, the army's spirit is floating, and our army is the military spirit is greatly rising, when attacking, bring a thunderbolt, so that the Xiliang army will throw a mouse and dare not move." ”

The princes' army is planning to attack the city, and the Xiliang army in Guanzhong is naturally thinking about how to block the thunderbolt cars of the princes, and today the battle lost more than 100 ballista cars, and the cost is quite huge, not as good as the thunderbolt car, and the ballista is difficult to make.

Guo Yan's eyes swept over the generals in the tent and said, "The princes' coalition army has such a siege weapon, I don't know what good strategy to do?" ”

"Today, General Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun rushed out, making the princes quite large, and when they attack in the future, they will definitely be closely protected." Guo Jia continued.

The generals in the tent talked a lot, this kind of siege weapon is indeed unprecedented, throwing stones on the city wall, thinking about it is a little afraid, they are the senior generals of the Xiliang Army, they don't want to be smashed to death by an inconspicuous stone, fighting bravely on the battlefield and the death of the nest is another matter.

"General, we can burn it with fire, these things are made of wood, and the fire will definitely ignite." Hua Xiong said excitedly.

Guo Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Although General Hua's plan is good, can't the coalition forces think of this?" In the coming day to attack the city, the other party will definitely protect this kind of thing closely. ”

Hua Xiong's face turned slightly red and scratched his head.

Huang Zhong said: "General, it is said that there is a kind of heavy infantry in our army, which is wrapped in armor all over the body, and even the shields used by the shield soldiers are made of steel. ”

Guo Yan nodded slightly, Huang Zhong's plan is a good strategy, but Chang'an is not close to Hangu Pass, not to mention that it still needs to be built by a craftsman's workshop, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and by that time, how much morale will the defenders in the city have.

"General Huang's plan is good, I will write to Chang'an and ask the craftsman workshop to build a big shield."

"After you go back, think about it, the princes have more than 300,000 troops, and our army is only tens of thousands, once the princes' army is allowed to attack the city wall, Hangu Pass will be in danger." Guo said.

After everyone dispersed, Guo Jia stayed behind and said softly, "The lord has been found." ”

Guo Yan's expression suddenly froze, and then his face showed excitement, and he grabbed Guo Jia tightly, but suddenly it sounded that Jia Rong's matter was a first-class secret, and he asked in a low voice, "Really?" Are you back in Chang'an now? ”

Guo Jia sighed and said, "General, you can't be light." ”

Guo Yan, who has always been quite calm among the generals, rubbed his hands uncontrollably, looked at Guo Jia eagerly, and said, "Military advisor, hurry up and tell me about the lord." ”

"The lord was discovered by Zhang Xiu in Jiangxia City, but he was poisoned by a poison in his body, and his limbs could not move, and now he is looking for a good doctor for treatment." Guo Jia said in a low voice.

Guo Yan's expression instantly became extremely hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Have you ever found out who did it, and you will definitely cut this person into minced meat and kill the nine clans." ”

Guo Jia's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the lord met an old man and instructed him to go to the divine doctor for treatment, and I expect that he will be safe in a few days." ”

Guo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still ugly, Jia Rong was actually poisoned, "What are the guards protecting the lord doing, such a thing happened." ”

"Zhao Fan was killed by the enemy in order to protect the lord, and Zhang Xiu also escaped by luck, just because he was in Zhou Tai's water army camp at that time, and he neglected to take precautions." Guo Jia sighed.

"Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai, he will not spare you when he sees you in the future!" Guo Yan said coldly, Zhou Tai's belonging to the Xiliang Army is not a secret at the top level, but it is only known to a few people.

Guo Jia was a little incredulous, Guo Yan, who has always been stable and polite and calm in the army, would have such a side, it seems that everyone has a reverse scale, and Guo Yan's reverse scale is Jia Rong.

Under the cover of the thunderbolts, the princes attacked quite sharply, and on several occasions even attacked the city walls, and fought each other in close quarters.

"General, I saw with my own eyes that man lived in this inn, and it was his men who wounded several of our brothers, and he also said cruel words, and I will see one and beat one in the future." In Jiangxia City, a soldier pointed to the inn where Jia Rong lived and said.

The young general's face flashed with a touch of cruelty, what the soldier said must be a little untrue, but it is not okay for the soldiers who beat him in the city, no matter whether Jia Rong is justified or not, he must be pulled back" After bringing it back, they were severely tortured, and the general suspected that they were Jiangdong's spies. ”

"No!" The soldier's face showed excitement, but anyone who fell into the hands of the general had never gone out alive, and Jia Rong would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

"General, there is a woman next to that person, who is extremely beautiful, and at a glance, the bones are crispy." The soldier flattered.

"You fell in love with that woman, and then you wanted to do something wrong and cause a big disaster, right?" The young general said lightly.
