Chapter 201: Hangu Attack and Defense (4)

This morning, the performance of the battle before Hangu Pass was reported to the commander of the coalition army, Sun Bin, together with Meng Weijun and Tian Wen of the Qi State, who had been supervising the battle in the rear.

As soon as the news came out, in addition to Sun Bin, the commander of the coalition army, such as the military advisor Su Qin, Chunshenjun Huang Xie and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji and others all laughed.

Not only the high-level leaders of the coalition army, but also the generals of the general coalition army and the soldiers of all countries raised their eyebrows after knowing the news, which frustrated the morale of the Qin army, and they all felt that they had earned it this time.

Although Sun Bin didn't say a word, he didn't feel happy in his heart.

After all, Sun Bin once debated with Shang Ying in the Jixia School Palace, so he naturally knew Shang Ying's talent.

In addition, the performance of Qin in the Battle of Hexi and the various wars of the Three Jin Dynasty also made Sun Bin begin to pay attention to and study Qin, a small country in the west.

After so many years, Sun Bin's understanding of the Qin State may not even be as good as some Qin generals and Qin officials.

Therefore, Sun Bin deeply knew how difficult the Qin State was to deal with and how fierce the Qin army was in battle.

The coalition army, under the leadership of three generals such as Dai Tuo, was able to play this record, which can already be called quite good.

Knowing that the three generals Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, and Wang Liao had achieved such a feat, the coalition army was all excited, because they all saw the shadow of the victory over the Qin State.

But Sun Bin, the commander of the coalition army, just said lightly: "Order, add 200,000 troops to the three generals!"

Hearing the boss's order, everyone was shocked and shocked.

Add 200,000 troops to the three generals, is the commander preparing to take Hangu Pass today?

But think about it, the main force of the Qin army is rushing towards Hangu Pass day and night, maybe it will arrive at some point, and the sooner you can take Hangu Pass, the better.

Ideas are ideas, and everyone is full of respect for Sun Bin, the commander of the coalition forces who combines prestige and wisdom.

Without any hesitation, Meng Weijun Tianwen once again dispatched 200,000 allied troops to reinforce Ni Liang and others.

And this time, Tian Wen also added 50,000 Qi troops again, and after combining them with this department, a total of 100,000 Qi troops supervised the battle.

......

"Attack!"

With the order of Dai Tuo, the more than 300,000 allied troops under Hangu Pass were all lined up in six phalanxes.

Each phalanx was composed of more than 60,000 allied soldiers, and each phalanx was equipped with a series of troops such as crossbowmen, shield bearers, sword and axe men, and swordsmen.

The sound of war drums and trumpets sounded again, the shouts of the army sounded again, and a new battle began from this moment.

"General, can you use the first killing move?"

Looking at the coalition army below, which is more than twice as large as in the early morning, it is false to say that there is no worry.

Gan Mao even directly asked the main general Wang to use the first killer weapon, hoping to inflict great damage on the coalition forces.

"No!"

I saw that the king also looked solemn, but he waved his hand and refused Gan Mao's request.

"Don't panic, wait a while, wait a little longer......"

Gan Mao looked at the king's calm and relaxed appearance, and his heart was about to die in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to raise his sword and go down to Guguan to fight with the coalition army.

"Boom!"

The cloud ladder was set up on Hangu Pass again, and although the two armies did not fight face to face, it was even more crazy in this way.

Because he looked at the enemy army on the city wall, and he couldn't help it.

It was completely the crossbowmen of the two armies, and the soldiers who were fighting were all feeling depressed that they wanted to kill each other.

The thought that he was going to die at any time flickered in everyone's mind.

Especially the soldiers of the coalition army who were walking on the tired corpses of their own army and attacking Hangu Pass were on the verge of collapse at any time.

Therefore, the Hangu offensive and defense is not just as simple as the defensive and offensive operations of the Qin army and the coalition forces.

It is a wrestling between the Qin State and the countries of the world about willpower.

Everyone is crazy in their hearts, and they have completely reached the point of killing red eyes, how can such a battle be tragic?

"Quick, quick, take one person there, take one person here, we must not let there be a gap in the defense line of the city tower. ”

......

"All centurions obey orders, and all centurions lead their men and men to hold on to all parts of the tower. ”

......

"Bastard, what are you doing to eat, a few coalition soldiers have attacked, and immediately bring someone to drive these coalition soldiers to Lao Tzu for me. ”

......

Wang and Gan Mao and other generals of the Qin army were constantly wandering back and forth on the top of the Hangu Pass Tower, commanding the Qin army's defensive operations.

"Gan Mao, launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array!"

At this moment, watching the first wave of attacking coalition forces just retreat and the second wave of coalition forces handed over in addition to leaving countless corpses, Wang decisively activated the first killing move he had prepared for the coalition forces.

"No, the army is ready to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array!"

Gan Mao received the order, and then ran down the Hangu Pass, and came to the city wall below the Hangu Pass, directing the activation of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array.

I saw that behind the wall of Hanguguan, nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army were here.

In front of each or several Qin soldiers were objects that seemed to be some kind of mystery, but all of them were covered with white cloths.

With Gan Mao's order, countless Qin army soldiers uncovered the white cloth in front of them, revealing the objects covered by the white cloth.

After the white cloth cover was torn off, countless large individual crossbows and heavy bed crossbows appeared in the eyes.

These heavy bed crossbows and large individual bow and crossbow weapons all exude a rough and savage aura, and the huge crossbow arrows that are lonely and shiny are even more chilling to watch.

"These are all made by my Qin craftsmen day and night, I hope not to disappoint General Ben!"

The king, who was looking at these terrible killing weapons from the upper floor of Hangu Guancheng, also thought of it with satisfaction.

These bows and crossbows were the heavy weapons and equipment created for the defenders of Hangu Pass under the order of King Yingji of Qin, and the starry night of the Qin State Sword Casting Workshop.

When Wang received this huge batch of heavy weapons, an idea suddenly sprung up in his heart.

That is to combine the heavy weapons and equipment transported from China and the strong bows and crossbows sealed in Hangu Pass into a long-range strike force, and form a heavenly crossbow arrow array, which can achieve the effect of 10,000 arrows at one time.

And in this crossbow army, which is mainly equipped with strong bows and crossbows, it actually needs nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers to fully control it.

Among the arch and crossbow corps, there are about 500 heavy bed crossbows, about 1,500 ordinary bed crossbows, and about 6,000 large bow crossbows, which has far exceeded the strong crossbow battalion formed when Wang Xiaojie led the Anxi Army to conquer the northwest grasslands.

Among them, the weakest bow and crossbow can reach a range of 400 steps, which can be regarded as a long-range strike.

That's why the king kept the crossbow army in his hand hidden and tucked it until now.

It was because the king wanted to inflict heavy casualties on the coalition forces in the event of a surprise attack.

At this moment, the first wave of the coalition forces and the second thin troops are at the moment of convergence, and the troops are the most dense, probably no less than 100,000 people.

If he took advantage of such a good opportunity to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array, Wang believed that the terrible casualties caused by the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array would definitely make the coalition army suffer enough.

It is not impossible to even leave tens of thousands of coalition soldiers at once.
