Chapter 199: Hangu Attack and Defense (2)

"The crossbowman continues to release his arrows, and the Rolling Wood Thunderstone is in place!"

With Gan Mao's order, some Qin soldiers with soldiers in their hands above Hangu Pass immediately put down the weapons they were holding.

He crouched down and picked up the heavy logs and the stones of light weight, ready to make the coalition army suffer a lot when the coalition army approached Hangu Pass, inflicting heavy casualties on the coalition army.

Finally, tens of thousands of allied troops had advanced densely under the Hangu Pass.

However, as the distance of the coalition forces became closer and closer, the range of the Qin army's bows and crossbows became farther and farther, and they could shoot the coalition troops behind the shield phalanx at any time, and the coalition forces suffered losses of no less than a thousand for a while.

"The army is open, and the crossbowmen release their arrows!"

Ni Liang, the general of the coalition army, gave an order, and then the shield defense formation that was like an iron wall suddenly opened.

And behind the shield phalanx, there were countless allied crossbowmen who appeared in it, and directly raised the bow and crossbow in their hands and shot at the Qin army above Hangu Pass.

Suddenly, some Qin troops were shot by the allied crossbow arrows before they could react.

Some were killed directly, and some were planted under the wall of Hangu Pass, which was dozens of zhang high, and there was no sound.

"Where's the ladder?"

"Come on, put the ladder up for Lao Tzu!"

Ni Liang, the general of the coalition army, shouted in front of the coalition army, and many soldiers of the coalition army woke up from a dream and hurriedly transported the ladder up from the rear.

Specially made for the attack on Hangu Pass, the ladder with a height of dozens of zhang was directly erected by the allied soldiers.

Then the force was retracted, and the huge cloud ladder was firmly slapped on the wall of Hangu Pass like a storm crashing on the shore.

The ladder was erected on top of Hangu Pass, and many coalition soldiers climbed up along the ladder to attack Hangu Pass.

"Throw!"

Seeing that the situation was critical, Gan Mao ordered again, and thousands of Qin army soldiers directly threw the logs and thunder stones they were holding in their arms at the dense coalition forces below and the coalition soldiers who were climbing to the wall of Hangu Pass through the ladder.

"Ahh......hh

The coalition soldiers who were hit by logs and rocks screamed and died.

However, a dense number of coalition soldiers poured towards Hangu Pass like a tide, as if they were endlessly killed!

And some of the more fortunate coalition soldiers were about to climb the Hangu Pass, but they were suddenly directly stabbed by the Qin soldiers holding Changge.

In this way, the coalition forces were caught in a dilemma in this embarrassing situation.

It seemed impossible to reach Hangu Pass under the terrifying strong bows and crossbows of the march, but the army still advanced under Hangu Pass.

Obviously, he saw that some soldiers were about to ascend Hangu Pass, but they were immediately killed by the Qin army, as if even God was helping the people of Qin.

As for the crossbowmen of the Qin army, they fell into a situation of firing with the crossbowmen of the allied army under the Hangu Pass.

The crossbowmen of the two armies aimed at each other, and their own crossbowmen were constantly killed by the opposing crossbowmen.

It was a sniper battle without gunsmoke, except for the slight flutter of the bowstring as the crossbow was fired.

In this way, the two armies of the Qin army and the coalition army fell into a stalemate with each other.

Neither of the two armies could help anyone, and they could only grind each other's flesh and blood on the battlefield.

"Bastard, what do you all eat?"

Ni Liang looked at such a stalemate and how could he endure it, and the furious Ni Liang shouted.

Immediately, Ni Liang ignored the dissuasion of many soldiers, and climbed the cloud ladder with a round shield and climbed towards the top of Hangu Pass.

I have to say that Ni Liang is definitely a famous general of the world, and he is quite strategic and brave at the same time.

In the face of this kind of battle situation, Ni Liang didn't even have a little hypocrisy, and directly attacked.

"Cover the General!"

Watching the generals who had taken the lead in their own lives climb the ladder to attack the city in person, many of the allied soldiers were not only encouraged but also worried.

Directly let the crossbowmen increase their attack and cover General Ni Liang, who was climbing up the ladder.

A Qin army soldier had quick eyes and quick hands, and he could see the difference between the allied soldiers on the ladder at a glance.

I saw that this Qin army soldier picked up the largest stone and threw it towards the people on the ladder.

"Bump!"

The loud sound of stones hitting the shield sounded, and the huge inertia impact directly caused Ni Liang to fall from the top of the ladder.

It's just that the coalition soldiers below are quick and fast, and they caught Ni Liang when Ni Liang was about to fall to the ground, and Ni Liang was worry-free.

"Biography...... Tell the army, retreat!"

Ni Liang, who was dragged by several soldiers, said weakly.

Now that the battle situation is stalemate, Ni Liang now understands.

Wang Yi is worthy of being the general of the Qin army who can be specially sent by the Qin State to garrison Hangu Pass, and the Qin army soldiers stationed in Hangu Pass are really strong.

Coupled with the Qin army's powerful bow and crossbow offensive and the fruitless attack of his own army and the vain consumption of soldiers' lives, Ni Liang finally issued the order for the army to retreat temporarily.

"Obey the order, beat the drum and withdraw the troops!"

The sound of war drums sounded, but this time the war drums of the coalition forces were not beating an offensive signal, but a signal to collect troops.

Hearing the sound of war drums representing retreat, the coalition forces under Hangu Pass retreated one after another, leaving only corpses all over the ground, with a scale of about three or four thousand.

Looking at the coalition forces that receded like a tide, Wang Di and Gan Mao and other Qin generals did not show any relieved expressions, but all looked solemn.

"In the battle early this morning, the casualties of our Qin army are thousands!"

Wang Di was most worried in his heart, because Wang Di clearly knew that this was only a tentative attack by the coalition forces.

The second attack of the coalition forces is likely to be even more violent and irresistible.

But at the same time, Wang Yi was also relieved in his heart, and thought in his heart: "Fortunately, the main force of our Qin army has not been dispatched, and the two killer weapons prepared by General Ben for the coalition army have not been used. ”

"If the situation continues as it is today, General Ben is sure to hold on to Hangu Pass for more than half a month. ”

Wang Ji thought in his heart, in fact, it was true.

The special topography of Hangu Pass meant that the enemy army attacking Hangu Pass could only deploy a maximum of 50,000 troops at a time.

However, it was also decided that there were only five or six thousand Qin troops on the wall of Hangu Pass at one time.

That is to say, there are still more than 90,000 Qin troops waiting to enter the battle after Hangu Pass, so Wang Yicai has the confidence to hold on to Hangu Pass for more than half a month.

It's just that what is about to happen is far beyond Wang Ji's expectations, and the development of facts is not always satisfactory.

In the face of the unpredictable test and the surprise of Bodie, the person who thinks that man will win the day is just an ant struggling to survive under the teasing of fate.

"Two generals, the Qin army is already showing fatigue, I think we should use the wheel tactics. ”

In the rear of the coalition army, Dai Tuo looked at Ni Liang and Wang Liao and said.

The three of them all glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with a light that they understood each other, and they said in unison: "Agree!"
