Chapter 515: The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass
"Huhuhuhuyioneoneoneoneone"
Ten trebuchets shot at the same time, and the piercing whistling sound of the boulder being thrown through the air was like a roar, startling the defenders of the fortress and cowering. "Boom 11111111 Boom Boom 1111111"
The boulder hit the Guancheng, and there was an earth-shattering sound, this deafening sound had completely overshadowed everything, and at the same time, the defenders of the Tiger Prison felt that the solid Guancheng was shaking slightly, and the sound was as shocking as a landslide! "Ahh
The screams sounded one after another, but Zhang Liao, who was hiding behind the women's wall, saw that there was a section of place where the wet cowhide was not hung, but a boulder flew in and killed many soldiers. Zhang Liao's face remained unchanged, hiding behind the female wall and looking around, but now except for the boulder that flew in, the rest of the place was fine. "Bang 1111111 Bang 111111"
At this moment, Zhang Liao only heard a muffled roar behind him, and then he heard a loud noise, but it was a boulder falling to the ground. Zhang Liao raised his head and looked at the wet cowhide that kept shaking, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that the enemy's trebuchet was not as powerful as his own.
The trebuchet on Cao's side passed through Liu Ye's Meijin, and in the battle of Guandu, it broke the high turret of Yuan's army, and the hit rate increased a lot, but the lethality of the catapult was far inferior to that of his own side. The defending side of the city actually took a lot of advantage in defending against the attack of catapults, as long as the wet cowhide was hung, the strength of the general stone pieces was almost exhausted when it hit the city, and the tough wet cowhide could block most of the stones, and some of the stones that could shoot through the wet cowhide, the lethality became very little after the weakening of the wet cowhide, and the damage was limited. "Boom Boom
Cao Jun didn't care what Zhang Liao thought, the trebuchet couldn't hold its might, and the stone bullets were shot round after round, and most of the stone bullets fell on the city wall, causing the city wall to fly with soil and stone chips, making small holes with potholes, and at the same time, the entire tiger prison shook slightly.
However, since the defenders of the Tiger Prison blocked the first round of Cao Jun's attack, their original fear has disappeared a lot, and the stones thrown by the huge catapult have only killed and injured dozens of people, and this is still because of the gap in the attack. The defenders saw that the wet cowhide could block most of the rocky beaches, so they were not afraid of Cao's attack.
On the Guancheng, Zhang Liao hurriedly commanded the defenders who were not covered with wet cowhide to withdraw to the back of the pass and on both sides. Sure enough, as Zhang Liao expected, Cao Jun's attack after the catapult was mainly played in the area where there was no wet cowhide defense.
I saw that in the rear army of Cao's army, Zhang Shao looked at the tiger prison with a somewhat ugly face, and the damage caused by the catapult attack to the enemy army was unexpectedly small. However, Zhang Shao originally did not think that he could take down the tiger prison pass by relying only on catapults. Before all the stones of the catapult were shot out, Zhang Shao had already ordered loudly: "Order the Jing Yan team and the rushing team, and attack immediately after the stone is all shot!" Summoned Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and immediately led the Bunian charge after the stone group finished shooting! "Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom T
This deafening sound lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and before the defenders could count how many boulders the Cao army had thrown, the Cao army had already charged, "Knock knock knock 1111111" "Woo woo 111111" The agitated war drums and desolate horns became more and more urgent, signaling that the Cao army would attack in a big way! "Crunch, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, sque
The sound of shouting and killing and the clashing of weapons suddenly sounded, but for a moment the sound of war drums and trumpets was overshadowed, and the tooth-sore sound mixed with the sound of the clashing of weapons and the shouting of killing was faintly heard.
Zhang Liao heard the sudden sound of killing, and immediately shouted: "Quick! Remove the wet cowhide! After the order is closed, the stone will be escorted up! It's time for us to return to color! Trebuchet ready! ""Huang Huang 1111111"
When the tiger prison was closed, the old cloth that had been covered was abruptly pulled open by the defending sergeants, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be a huge trebuchet. This kind of trebuchet used to defend the city has been used by Huang Xu when he defended the city of Fan, and Huang Xu usually uses old cloth to cover the huge trebuchets. And in such an important place as Tiger Prison, how could Zhang Xiu not arrange such a sharp weapon to defend the city, with Zhang Liao's order, a trebuchet used to defend the city deflated a hideous face.
The trebuchet was originally equipped with a stone bullet, Zhang Liao looked at Cao Jun who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly shouted: "Trebuchet, target the enemy's well, shoot!" "Huhuhuhuyioneoneone"
The Tiger Prison was not very long, so only five trebuchets were equipped on it. Although the number of trebuchets is only half that of Cao Jun, the power of this immovable trebuchet is not much stronger than Cao Jun's trebuchet. I saw that huge stones were thrown out and smashed fiercely towards Cao Junjing. "Boom 111111111 Boom 1111111" Boom 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Five boulders were ejected, four of which did not hit the well, but only hit the crowd near the well. The strong impact of the boulder smashed more than ten people into meat sauce at once, after landing, the boulder has not stopped, the strong impact force pushed the boulder to crush forward, and crushed a bloody road, hundreds of soldiers died and turned into meat paste before they touched the city wall of the Year of the Tiger!
And one of the boulders was lucky enough to hit one of Cao Jun's wells. The boulder slammed into the middle of the boulder, which was broken by the waist, and the upper part of the boulder was hit by the strong impact of the boulder, and the whole section was thrown backwards. And some of the soldiers on the well were hugged tightly, and some were thrown out of the well and became trapeze! "Boom 111111"
At the same time, the Cao soldier who had not yet landed in mid-air also began to react from his stunned disbelief at this time, and fell to the ground from mid-air between shouts and turned into a pile of meat puree!
Just one round of attacks caused a lot of confusion in the charging Cao army. Both sides use trebuchets, but the situation is very different, in addition to the fact that there is Zhang Xiu's side because of Zhang Xiu's traversal and Ma Jun's trebuchet developed by the Ming family of the world, there is also the advantage of the defending side.
Of course, Zhang Liao's proper command is also one of the keys. If Zhang Liao had prepared to shoot at Cao Jun's trebuchet from the beginning, it would not have caused the current effect at all. If the defending side shoots at the trebuchet of the besieging side, it will only be the defending side that suffers. The besieging side of the city has a clear and conspicuous target to attack the city wall one by one, while the defending side even if the trebuchet hits the rate is high, it is extremely difficult to hit the speculation of the siege one, which is like what people often said before Zhang Xiu crossed the cannon to beat the flies. And this time, one of the wells that was able to hit Cao Jun has to be said to be due to luck. "Huhuhu-one-one-one"
The tiger prison was closed, the trebuchet was still unstoppable, and five more boulders flew out and smashed into the crowd, and after the boulder landed, it began to crush with a strong momentum, crushing Sergeant Cao to death!
For a moment, fearful thoughts filled the heart of the charging Cao soldier. To be honest, the year of Sergeant Cao, who was killed by the boulder shot by the trebuchet, can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to the huge Cao army. But the terrifying scene of the boulder smashing from the air and crushing the dead robe filled the hearts of the real Cao soldiers, lingering.
The effect of this battle between the two armies, which had caused a huge shadow on the enemy's sergeant years, had actually overshadowed the attack power of the trebuchet!
Zhang Shao frowned at this scene, and coldly shouted to a junior colonel beside him: "Go and tell Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang that after a stick of incense, I would have seen them kill in the Tiger Prison, otherwise I won't see them!" In the end, Zhang Shao's voice was full of emotion.
Regarding the battle in front of them, Guo Tu and Xin Ping in the back couldn't help frowning. The situation is clearly not optimistic.
Perhaps it was because of receiving Zhang Shao's death order, among the former army, the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang used their strength to feed milk, personally charged at the forefront, braved the boulder that was constantly speeding in mid-air, and led the army to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass.
Seeing that Cao Jun was not rushing to advance, Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then he said coldly with a firm expression: "The light crossbowman aims at the enemy and prepares to ...... Shoot! Grab the bolts now! Fast! "Zhang Liao gave an order, and the tiger prison closed thousands of light crossbowmen and pulled the trigger!" Woo Blah Blah 1 1 1 1 1 "
The sharp chirp of the crossbow bolts shot through the air resounded throughout the small world in front of the Tiger Prison for a while, these light crossbows belong to small repeaters, each light crossbow can shoot up to three crossbow arrows at a time, although there are only a thousand light crossbowmen, but three thousand crossbow arrows flew out neatly, and a dark cloud was formed in the air in front of the Tiger Prison for a while!
Zhang Liao didn't look at the power of the crossbow arrows, and shouted loudly: "The archer is wound, prepare to ...... Shoot! ”
"Boom Blah Blah 1 1 1 1 1 1 "
After the crossbow bolts, a round of bows and arrows followed. The two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang below, holding their swords, kept pushing the crossbow arrows away, and just received a round of crossbow arrows, and the bows and arrows behind them had already attacked. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang rose up to the aftermath, the knife curtain was layered on top of each other, and the water could not be splashed, and they swept away all the fierce arrows!
The two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are good at martial arts, but how can the ordinary Cao soldiers have such powerful martial arts, crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, two waves of arrow rain come one after another, plus the tiger prison is like a bucket in front of the pass, the front of the pass is narrow and gradually open outward, making a large number of Cao troops who are tackling key problems crowded together, which adds a few points to the lethality of the bitter rain! ↓ Chirp Ding Chirp Ding ■■■■■■ when the ■■■■■■ "Puff 111111" "Ah 111111"
The sound of bitter rain hitting Sergeant Cao's leather armor and weapons was endless, but at the same time, there was just as much crisp sound of sharp arrows shooting into people's bodies. Under the blow of alfalfa rain, a large number of Cao troops suffered casualties of varying degrees. Fortunately, they were only hit by arrows in non-critical places such as their arms, and they were fine if they gritted their teeth and endured the pain, but some unfortunate ones were shot in the head and died on the spot; Some were hit by an arrow in the leg and fell to the ground with a momentary loss of balance. There are so many Cao Jun in the back, as long as he falls to the ground, he will never have a chance to get up!
In the face of Cao Jun's large number of casualties, Zhang Liao did not have the slightest compassion, and continued to shout coldly: "Light crossbowman, release the arrow!" Stand back and get on the crossbow bolts! Archers prepare, release arrows! Crossbowman ......"
The tiger prison was closed, and as Zhang Liao's order was issued, the light crossbowmen and archers alternately released arrows to strike at the Cao soldiers under the pass to the greatest extent, even if they were as strong as Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers, under the dense rain of arrows, they had to retreat into the ranks of the army several times, and they were protected by Cao Sergeant for many years. "Crunch 1111111 Crunch 111111"
The tooth-souring sound was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, five huge shadows in the sunlight had already hit the tiger prison, and it was obvious that the five wells were gradually approaching!
Zhang Liao waved his knife and shouted: "The strong crossbow has rockets in his hands, and the target enemy is well, ready to ...... Shoot! "Whoosh ......"
Zhang Liao gave an order, closed the Qin Zhang crossbow, arm Zhang crossbow, and big yellow crossbow and lit the crossbow arrows together, and shot Cao Jun's five tall wells! There were fifty crossbows of each of these three types, and now Cao Jun was divided into five wells, and each of them had thirty rockets to greet him. These crossbows have a high hit rate and a long range, and Jing Xian condescends to have a farther attack range than the archers in the Tiger Prison, but they are far from these crossbows.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk 111111"
One hundred and fifty powerful crossbow arrows were fired, and a series of muffled sounds were heard, and several fires rose from the five tall wells.
Yu Liao looked closely, but saw that although the fire was ignited, it could not burn the key places, but those key places on the well were wrapped in Cao Jun's wet leather, and the rockets could only ignite some irrelevant places. However, although these places were insignificant, Cao Jun still did not dare to hesitate, and joined forces to immediately extinguish the fire, so that Jing Yan's attack was repeatedly delayed.
However, this delay obviously will not be too long, and the well finally entered the attack range, and the soldiers on the well were condescending, and released the sharp arrows in their hands towards the defenders on the tiger prison without any scruples! "Sigh bla 1111111" "Puff 111111" "Ah 111111"
There was a roar of rage, and there were finally casualties again on the Tiger Prison, and many of the defenders fell under the rain of arrows, which greatly limited the light crossbowmen and archers on the Tiger Prison. Seeing the opportunity, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang charged forward again, leading the army to fly towards the Tiger Prison Pass!
Zhang Liao frowned, and ordered loudly: "The sword and shield hand come forward!" Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Defend against the enemy's wells! The crossbowmen retreated, and the archers wound their arrows and fired on their backs...... Put! Spearmen come up and prepare! ”
Zhang Liao issued a series of orders, and the sword and shield hands were already ready, and after hearing the order, he immediately stepped forward and raised the leather shield high to defend against the sharp arrows shot down from the well, so that the wounds of the defenders on the tiger prison began to decrease. At the same time, the archers hid behind the sword and shield hands, holding a big bow and shooting at a narrow angle, this tactic Zhang Xiu taught his generals, so that they almost all understood, the sharp arrow flew out of the tiger prison pass, and then fell down, shot at the dense Cao army who was ready to climb the city along the ladder, and caused a lot of casualties.
