Chapter 182: Battle Qi Mountain City One

The sun rose again in the Gobi Desert, and due to the time difference, the Han army camp naturally did not receive any news about the grain transportation soldiers.

The breakfast that the Han army had collectively used, the generals and related personnel in the Chinese army tent all arrived, Marshal Qin issued the order of the commander of the battle Qishan City, and everyone took over the order of the Chinese army and began to gather troops, horses and siege vehicles.

Because of the weight of the moat bridge plate and the weight of the siege vehicle, it requires a lot of manpower, but fortunately, the soldiers have long realized that the bridge board will be inconvenient to transport, so they have installed a wooden wheel under the bridge plate in advance, so that it is relatively light and easy to transport.

Of course, the direction of Qishan City also started preparations early, and everyone was doing their jobs and was in position early.

Lan Qi'er and others passed last night's discussion, knowing that the Han army will definitely cross the moat in today's battle, and it is inevitable to attack the pass gate, how to deal with it, the final result is not to let the Han army break through the pass gate, and the city gate can be opened at the critical moment, and the vanguard army can enter the city, of course, this entry into the city refers to the area between the main city and the attached city, and the attached city must not be allowed to cross the Han army.

The vacuum area of the main city and the area of the attached city is the first choice for the main killing of the Han army today, and the deployment of military forces has been adjusted accordingly for a while, except for the two groups of strong crossbowmen sent to the primeval forest, the remaining eight groups of strong crossbowmen are all arranged on the main city and the attached city wall, in case the Han army breaks the gate of the attached city.

General Soha, Janissary Commander Tulong, General of the Right Banner and other generals and soldiers also focused on guarding the annexed city, and the focus was placed on the main city and the annexed city.

The archers and the people on the mountainside have not changed much, and they still have to do their best to slow down the attack speed of the Han army and the continuity of the Han army, and play the role of killing and wounding the Han army as much as possible.

Princess An Ran didn't go straight to the primeval forest today, because she didn't rest early last night, and she also heard the analysis and deployment of Lan Qi'er and others, knowing that today's battle may change, and all actions must first depend on the division of troops of the Han army, so she climbed the mountainside on the side of the pass early, because it was high up there, and it was possible to see the overall situation, and another reason was that there were Lan Qi'er and others on the wall of the pass, and it was inconvenient for him to go up.

Under the attention of Lan Qi'er and others, the Han soldiers came out of the barracks and came straight to the Qishan Pass.

In a moment, the division of troops also unfolded, and it was obviously divided into three roads, with 10,000 horses in the middle of the road, and as many as 12,000 people in the other two roads plus one piece, which was enough to see that it was different from yesterday's division of troops, and there was no division of troops in the direction of the primeval forest.

Lan Qi'er, General Lan and the others saw such a situation on the city wall, and their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot, at least now they don't have to worry about the rear of Qishan City anymore, and they can go all out to deal with the Han army in front of them.

Princess An Ran also understood the situation of the Han army's deployment today, and knew that she could watch the battle here with peace of mind today, and she could also help the soldiers defend the city at any time.

The Han army brigade advanced to a place less than three hundred meters away from the pass gate, and Marshal Qin and other generals and Wang Guifei stopped advancing and began to line up to watch the battle.

With the beating of the siege drums, the three teams of the Han army began the formal siege mode, the Han army broke out in the front of the soldiers can now have anti-archers, that is, the bridge board of the moat and the shield hand, most of the soldiers also have a bee-proof face cover, the speed of the breakthrough is still quite fast, is deliberately speeding up.

All this was clearly seen by Lan Qi'er and others, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, so they could only wait and see the battle of the Han army by the moat for a while.

At this time, the forward soldiers of the Han army have reached a place of 150 meters in front of the pass gate, and the moat bridges and vehicles carried by the Han army will definitely advance to the moat in another ten and twenty minutes.

The lieutenant generals of the left and right banner generals on the mountainside on both sides of the pass immediately issued a blocking order, and the first to start was the rolling wood thunder stone mainly for the people, and the fire rolling wood was ignited, and the rolling wood thunder stone rolled down the mountainside in an instant.

Of course, the Han army was on guard, and for a while the shield bearers not only did not dodge it, but gathered at the bridge of the moat, forming a seamless shield armor with the shield and the bridge plate, and the Han army had the cover of the shield armor, and did not stop advancing, but continued to move forward.

Although it was occasionally seen that the giant thunder stone broke through the shield armor with the help of inertia, injuring the Han soldiers, but it was temporary, it was just a point, and the Han shield players fell with the unfortunate soldiers, and the other shield players immediately overlapped again and formed a solid shield armor from the new.

The fire rolling wood is not as good as the thunder stone, although the very heavy rolling wood also has inertia, but when it goes down the mountain, the shield armor is a surface, not a point, and the force is dispersed, and the shield armor really withstood the attack of the fire rolling wood.

For the Han army, there are just some more obstacles on the road, and the bridge and siege vehicles are still moving forward with the efforts of the Han army, and they are closer to the moat.

Everyone on the mountainside naturally saw the situation, so they had to immediately carry out the next round of blocking, this time it was the rolling wood thunder stone and the wasp and the rain of arrows together, and the combat power on both sides of the mountainside was fully used.

Fortunately, although the Han army has some face coverings, but the wasps are still destructive, with the rupture of the wasp nest, 10,000 wasps flew around, the soldiers are still the enemy of the wasps, the stung soldiers abound, the bridge and the vehicle move slowly, the shield armor is also loose, the stung soldiers, with the intensification of the pain, began to shout, a few shield players have given up the shield, the soldiers in the shield are exposed to the sun from time to time, the rain of arrows can work, The Han soldiers who were exposed to the sun fell one after another, and the number of dead and wounded increased many times at once, and the rain of arrows was still falling from the sky!

The four vanguard generals of the Han army saw that the shield armor was about to lose its effect, so they began to lead their troops desperately to run into the moat, and the rain of arrows kept falling, and the Han soldiers followed by the casualties of the follow-up soldiers.

The moat was already close at hand, and the four generals immediately ordered all the bridge-builders and shield-bearers to build the bridge, and for a time dozens of bridge-builders and shield-bearers jumped off the moat, and some of the bridge-builders and shield-bearers used the thinner trunks they had prepared earlier to make struts, which were used as supports, and crossed the surface of the moat to the opposite side of the moat.

On both sides of the moat and the river water, there are Han soldiers, and several thick wooden piles prepared in advance from time to time cross the moat with the efforts of the bridge erectors, which forms a natural slipway of the bridge deck, and the heavy bridge deck begins to slowly move up the moat with the efforts of the bridge erecting soldiers.

Of course, this process takes time, and the mutual protection of the Han army is weak in this process, and hundreds of archers of the Qishan army can shoot the rain of arrows to the moat from three directions.

The soldiers who built the bridge became the temporary victims of the Han army, and the victims increased with the movement of the moat deck, and the blood of the soldiers dyed the moat that was not very flowing red, and the water and blood were blending.

The purpose is clear, that is, to lay the bridge deck as quickly as possible, so that the soldiers and siege vehicles can pass smoothly without hindrance.

Half an hour passed, the bridge was successfully paved, the moat was no longer an obstacle to the Han army, and the Han army, under the example of the four generals, broke through to the pass gate.

The siege vehicles were erected under the cover of the shield hand archers, and the archers on both sides began to have casualties among each other at the same time, and the Qishan archers shot rockets at the siege vehicles from time to time, and the rockets were deeply shot at the siege vehicles, and the hump oil was also drawn on the siege vehicles, but the effect was to disappoint the Qishan soldiers, the vehicles were made of wet wood, and the hump oil did not ignite them, but they burned on the surface of the wood, and they did not extinguish for a while, but did not cause any damage to the vehicles.

General Lan Da immediately issued a general order in the language of the flag, and the deputy generals on the mountainside on both sides of the pass received the general's order, so they immediately divided half of the archers to shoot at the Han soldiers under the pass gate, and the rain of arrows appeared in the area of the Han soldiers and archers outside the city wall.

The rain of arrows in Qishan temporarily blocked the threat of the archers of the Han army to the archers on the city wall of the pass, and the time difference came out, and the Han climbers were unlucky, and the soldiers on the ladder car had no cover, and they were shot by the archers on the city wall.

The two generals of Han Xia Pass can command the door car to impact the pass city gate, although the city gate is strong, but it is also not destroyed by the door car desperately, the city gate began to loosen, if you do not take the initiative to open it, it will really be destroyed by the Han army, and the city gate will be destroyed.

All the process of the war has already formed a procedure in General Landa's mind, and General Lan will give the most reasonable order, seeing General Lan waving the flag.

The flag is the order, and the pass gate official lifted the bolt, and with the bolt raised, the gate officer turned his head and ran away.

The city gate was naturally opened with the last collision of the car that hit the door, and the hearts of the Han army were also opened for a while, and all the Han troops saw the hope of breaking the city, including Marshal Qin and others who were a few hundred meters away.

The pass gate can be opened, the door car is not in the center of the city gate, all the soldiers entered the pass gate, the vehicle was thrown aside, a large number of Han soldiers poured into the pass gate.

Lan Qi'er can control the newly built gate opposite the pass gate, the Han army that is put into the main city wall and the attached city wall is not too much, it has been studied by the court, the ideal number of Han troops is 1,000 to 1,500 people, all the first soldiers to break through there is no circuit, with Lan Qi'er's order, several soldiers loosened the rope in their hands, and the gate can be closed to the Han army's circuit, and the gate of the city tower is dead.

The first soldiers of the Han army to break through were mainly the main battle soldiers, and there were almost no shield bearers and archers, and some were thirty or fifty to the end, and they were mixed in the more than 1,000 soldiers, so it was impossible to shoot and kill with bows and crossbows.

With the fall of the gate, the copper mirror cover on the attached city wall was removed by the Qishan soldiers at the same time, the time was close to noon, the sun's light and the copper mirror just formed an angle that can be refracted for a while, for a time the copper mirror and the sun formed a perfect handover, the sunlight was refracted by the copper mirror, and the beam hit the Han soldiers who were breaking through, including the two generals of Xia Guan who broke through.

The gate was opened, and the Han army that naturally advanced was blocked in the hole of the pass gate and outside the pass gate, and the car had entered the main city wall of the pass, and for a time the Han army had nothing to hit the door again, and the gate could not be impacted, so it could only stagnate.
