Chapter 183: Battle Qi Mountain City II

The strong light of the bronze mirror was sent out with the sudden advance of the Han army led by the two generals of Xia Guan, and the light source was extremely strong for people who were not defended, and it was blinding people's eyes in seconds.

The eyes of the Han soldiers were stimulated by the strong light at the same time, and they could no longer move forward, so they could only bow their heads and do inaction for a while.

Eight groups of strong crossbowmen on the main city wall fired fan-shaped crossbow arrows in four directions at the same time, sixty or seventy crossbow arrows in an instant, and sixty or seventy crossbow arrows were shot out a few seconds later, plus dozens of archers joined, more than 1,000 Han troops without any sense of prevention, casualties were extremely fast, and the scene after more than ten minutes was that there were few soldiers left who could stand.

The two Han generals could not escape the shooting of the strong crossbowmen, and they fell under their horses.

General Lan waved the flag again, because due to the closure of the drop gate, the Han soldiers could not enter for a while, and the Han soldiers under the command of the other two generals began to climb the siege head-on and hit the gate with other vehicles, and the archers on the city wall began a new round of attrition.

General Lan Da waved the flag, which meant that the soldiers of the attached city would cover the bronze mirror again, so as to achieve a strange effect for a moment.

Lan Qi'er saw that the bronze mirror had been restored, so she and several soldiers once again pulled up the gate of the pass, the Han army did not know about this situation, and only wanted to break the city, especially the ordinary soldiers, and it was also dangerous to stay under the city wall of the pass gate, so they entered the front of the attached city gate.

With the fall of the gate again, more than 1,000 Han soldiers were trapped, the result is the same, the light of the bronze mirror became the harbinger of the Han army before the death, still under the illumination of the strong light, was killed by the strong crossbow arrows and bow and arrow arrows, the scene can be said to be a collective massacre, it is more cruel, this is of course not what the Qishan army and people want to see, but this massacre is passive, it is for the country and the people to fight, the hand can not stop firing crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, the heart can not be soft, More than 1,000 Han soldiers almost all fell in the area of the main city wall.

Marshal Han and other generals and Wang Guifei were a few hundred meters away, and they obviously saw that the generals had broken through the pass gate, but for a while, the soldiers did not drive straight in, and they naturally had other thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone is too far away, they can't see that there is a gate opposite the pass gate, one is that there is a distance of six to eight meters in the door hole, and the door hole is dark, and the other is that there are Han soldiers blocking at the pass gate, it is impossible to know that there is a gate at all, and it can only be thought that the Han army is blocked, which makes the army stagnate.

Marshal Han's heart was anxious, because breaking through the gate of Qishan Pass could pay a heavy price, which was not won in one fell swoop, and the confidence of the soldiers would be shaken next time, so he immediately issued an order, so that the drummer hit the strongest attack of the snare drum, the drum was fast, and the remaining two vanguard generals gave up commanding the archers to shoot at the archers on the city wall, and took a few lieutenants to go straight to the pass gate.

I don't know that there is a gate in the pass gate, and the generals knew the seriousness of the matter for a while, and knew that the two generals of Xiaguan who entered in advance should be more than lucky.

Thinking about it, the snare drum was urging the battle, and at this time, it was a coincidence that the second group of soldiers who entered the front of the attached city wall had already been killed and wounded, and the gate was opened again.

General Lan Da had already made preparations, that is, before the gate was opened this time, he had already ordered the general and others to lead the Qishan army out of the attached city gate first, and arrived at the middle of the attached city gate and the main city pass as early as possible, and carried out a symbolic battle with some Han troops who had lost their strong combat effectiveness, so as to give the Han army a false impression that every time the Han army entered the pass gate, the personnel in the pass were all killed due to fighting, not injured by arrows and crossbows.

With the opening of the floodgate, General Han saw that the Han army was still fighting with the Qishan army, so he began to rush with all his strength, wanting to break the city in one fell swoop. Real things that the eye sometimes can't see!

It is said that General Lan and Lan Qi'er and others immediately convened a court meeting after yesterday's battle, and they have thought of repeatedly opening the floodgates in the court, knowing that once or twice may be okay, the Han army will definitely not consider the breakthrough, but it must not be possible to repeat many times, so they have to send troops out of the attached city gate to make the illusion of battle, in order to get the Han army to advance again, so that it can reduce the pressure of the Han army on the pass gate and the city wall, and it is more conducive to eliminating and disintegrating the attack of the Han army, of course, this is the idea and practice of the Qishan side.

But the world is unpredictable, there is a person with a heart among the Han soldiers, this person is not necessarily a general, this ordinary soldier happened to appear outside the gate for the second time, was isolated from the death zone, and was stopped in the door hole of the pass gate.

The life of this ordinary soldier is big, he observed the importance of the gate to the Han soldiers to break through Qishan City at close range, the closing of the gate can completely block the long drive of the Han soldiers, and the front and back echoes of the Han soldiers, which effectively slowed down the speed of the Han soldiers attacking the city, resulting in a large number of deaths of the soldiers.

Therefore, before the gate was opened for the third time, several soldiers who were also quarantined had been contacted, and the wood from the previously damaged siege vehicles was found next to the pass gate, which played an extraordinary role.

A few pieces of wood of the siege vehicle can support the gate of the gate, it is completely possible, so it was formed after the gate was dropped for the third time, when the Han soldiers broke through, several soldiers immediately stood the wood under the gate of the gate, so that there was a result that General Lan and Lan Qier did not expect, the uncontrollable result is that the gate lost the effect of closing the door and beating the dog, this is not the most serious, the most serious is that the pass gate has been opened, the gate is out of control, Qishan City can only be left with the city gate, to be honest, In fact, the attached city gate was not built according to the city defense when it was built, and it was just a virtual one.

Erecting a gate post, this can greatly change the death ratio of the two soldiers, and immediately increase the pressure on the attached city wall, the attached city wall is far lower than the pass city wall, and the actual attached city wall is only two or three meters high, and it can not effectively block a large number of Han soldiers.

Under the leadership of the two generals, more than 1,000 Han soldiers have broken through between the main city and the attached city, and the follow-up soldiers of the Han Dynasty are still coming straight to the pass.

The general and others saw that a large number of Han soldiers had broken through the main gate of the pass, and they did not know that the pass had lost the possibility of closing the gate, so they turned around and withdrew.

Lan Qi'er saw that the number of Han soldiers was okay, and immediately ordered the soldiers to let go of the gate, and the gate just moved for a while, and it dropped by as much as half a meter, and then stopped, and the Han soldiers were still pouring in at this time.

I knew in my heart that the gate must have lost its effect, and it must have been supported by the Han soldiers, and it couldn't be closed.

Time waits for no one, Lan Qi'er immediately shouted, there is no longer the queen's steady posture, Yu let all the Qishan soldiers know that there is an emergency, and it is very critical and serious.

For a while, the soldiers on the main attached city wall heard it, and they also saw the Han soldiers pouring into the pass gate in a steady stream, and went straight to the attached city wall and the city gate.

General Lan Da is the commander-in-chief of the scene, and he is going to make a surprise deployment for emergencies, at this time, it is no longer good to wave the flag, and he began to shout verbally, and all the general orders blurted out, that is, the archers on the main city wall and the archers on the mountainside on both sides of the pass are responsible for the Han soldiers in front of the pass gate, preventing the number of Han soldiers from entering the pass gate.

The strong crossbowmen on the attached city wall are mainly the soldiers who break through the gate of the gate, and the distance must be controlled within 30 meters, and the Han soldiers before the breakthrough are mainly led by the generals and other generals to lead the Qishan soldiers out of the attached city gate to meet each other in short combat, in order to be evenly matched for a while, and prevent the Han soldiers from being outside the attached city wall.

General Lan Da ordered that with the continuous advance of thousands of Han troops, the rain of arrows from the three sides of Qishan was blocked in front and behind the pass gate, and a small part of the Han army still broke through to the attached city wall.

General Soha and other generals led thousands of Qishan soldiers to start a frontal attack, fortunately, there is a bronze mirror on the attached city wall to help the battle, the beam is facing the direction of the Han army's breakthrough, so that the Han army's eyesight is limited, the Qishan army is fighting with its back to the beam, so that it has an absolute advantage, and for a time the casualties of the Han army are much higher than that of the Qishan army.

Princess Lan Qi'er and Princess An Ran also went down the main city wall and mountainside at the same time, and joined the battle to block the Han army.

The brave and fearless Qishan soldiers fought hard, and the morale of the Han soldiers fell with the large number of casualties of the Han soldiers.

Princess Lan Qi'er An Ran and the generals were advancing towards the pass gate, and they all knew in their hearts that they had to lean towards the pass as soon as possible and drop the gate, and the crossbowmen on the city wall had already transferred their main forces to the pass gate with the advance of the Qishan soldiers on the ground, so as not to hurt the Qishan soldiers from the rain of arrows.

The other two generals of the Han army also fell under their horses in the melee, and the Qishan soldiers also had relative casualties, and the ground between the main city wall and the attached city wall was already covered with soldiers who fell to the ground and were injured or killed, and the blood on the ground was then sticky, and all the soldiers on the battlefield had blood stains on their bodies, and for a while it was impossible to tell who was injured and who was not injured, and they could only know that the fallen was not far from death, and even died.

As time passed, the general and several other generals rushed to the gate of the pass, and under the escort of Princess Lan Qi'er An Ran, they pushed a few pieces of wood that supported the gate to the gate, and the gate was successfully closed, ending the breakthrough of the Han army.

The Han soldiers stopped pouring in, the state of melee was naturally close to the end, the front of the attached city wall was stable, the Qishan soldiers were relieved for a while, in fact, the key to making the Qishan Pass free from being broken by the Han army was not the desperate fight and unity of the Loulan people, theoretically it should be in a special era, that is, the era of cold weapons, and the Qishan Pass was dangerous, the pass was narrow, and although the Han army was numerous, it could not participate in the battle for a while, and did not form a state of encirclement of the Qishan army, so that it lost.

The Han army was pushed out of the gate of Qishan Pass, the vanguard generals have no life bad, the siege vehicles were destroyed, the day's offensive and defensive battles ended again, the number of Han soldiers killed and wounded was considerable, nearly 5,000 or so soldiers, the main general killed four in the battle, the hearts of the soldiers have been scattered, and there is no fighting spirit.

Marshal Han saw such a scene, so he had no choice but to give the marshal's order, collect the troops, and return to the barracks in defeat.

Today's battle of Qishan City, it can be said that there is no danger, the pass gate is safe and sound, the place where the battle has been fought is to be cleaned up, and the soldiers of the two countries are buried separately, the Qishan soldiers also died as many as three or four hundred in this battle, and there are countless wounded, two days of war for the country, the people of Loulan can be seriously reduced, war, it really shouldn't be!

With the flowing water coming down from the high mountain, the soldiers began to wash the ground and the city wall, and for a time the river turned red, and I don't know how many days the river will be red!
