Chapter 720: The Might of Martial Arts

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Without waiting for Li Xiuning and General Tang in Guannei to think about it, the Sui army that had just arrived had not even set up the formation, and the war drums had already been beaten......

"Hmm, you deceive people so much, you despise me so much......"

Looking at the reaction of the Sui army outside the gate, including Li Xiuning and Wu Meng, most of the Tang generals' faces at the head of the wall were quite ugly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Hangu Pass is also a famous pass in the world, although the city wall is only a giant city level, it is a pure military fortress, coupled with the geographical advantage of easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is more difficult to attack than a giant city level city, but it is slightly inferior to Tiandu.

In the face of such a majestic pass, as soon as the Sui army arrived, it did not arrange troops and formation, and did not even prepare siege equipment, so it was too much to underestimate the generals guarding the pass!

The dignified Nine Heavenly Kings of the Great Sui, although he is known for his martial arts, is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he is not so arrogant and reckless, right?

However, this is not impossible, He Ruobi, one of the nine heavenly kings of the great Sui Dynasty, was dismissed by Emperor Sui because of his arrogance and arrogance, and then went to prison, so he retired.

He Ruobi has few great ambitions, is brave and good at fighting, has a great reputation, and is quite valued in the previous dynasty. In the later period of Emperor Wen of Sui, the world was unified, He Ruobi ascended to the throne of the Pillar State, and was knighted as the Duke of Song, but he was proud and complacent, and he was not satisfied, thinking that his fame was above the ministers, and he often promised himself as the prime minister and the third duke.

Later, because Yang Su was the right servant, He Ruobi was still a general, and he was not officially crowned king, so his heart was unbalanced, and his dissatisfaction was revealed, so he was dismissed by Emperor Wen of Sui. made He Ruobi's resentment worse, and after a few years, Emperor Wen of Sui put He Ruobi in prison, and King Zhenwu disappeared and retired to the court.

This has also become one of the typical examples of "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change" that has been passed down from generation to generation.

"General Zhenxi!"

Li Xiuning pondered for a moment, and suddenly scolded.

"General!"

Li Daoxuan, the former guard general of Hangu Pass, the nephew of Li Yuantang, the king of Tang, the clan and generals of the Tang State, were listed solemnly and responded.

Li Daoxuan, the great-grandson of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the grandson of Li Hui, the governor of Xiazhou in the Great Sui Dynasty, was cautious and generous, proficient in martial arts, and elegant in manners.

Although there was an agreement to leave the Tang Dynasty, the Tang State also hoped that Hangu Pass could be defended, and did not transfer Li Daoxuan and other former generals and troops who were guarding the pass, and also reinforced countless wealth and materials.

Li Xiuning instructed: "General Zhenxi personally led his troops and the elite cavalry in the Guannai and waited at the gate of the city. If the wall is lost or the palace orders, immediately open the city gate and charge to kill the enemy!"

"Hmm, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, our side is even more unstoppable by the fierce generals of the Martial King and the Silver Demon, even the elite is far inferior, it is only better to defend to the death, not to fight!"

Li Daoxuan frowned, and reminded with obvious disapproval, even the other people present also nodded.

It's obvious.

However, Li Daoxuan is Li Xiuning's cousin, even if he is subordinate, he can speak casually, and other Tang generals can talk nonsense.

"This is a military order!"

Li Xiuning stared at Li Daoxuan with sharp eyes and reminded solemnly. After a pause, he quickly continued:

"It is precisely because our generals, elites, etc., are inferior to the enemy army, we should win by numbers, and if we want to completely block the enemy army, the possibility is not high, and the most important thing is to fight for attrition. Take advantage of the fact that the enemy forces have not yet all gathered, take the opportunity to rush and kill, weaken the enemy army as much as possible, and buy time!"

Speaking of this, seeing that Li Daoxuan was still silent, Li Xiuning sighed secretly, and simply said: "As long as the result of this palace is successful, this battle, at any cost, will be locked up in the people, and the people will be lost!"

"Yes!"

Li Daoxuan was stunned, reacted quickly, looked at Li Xiuning with a surprised expression, and gritted his teeth and stepped forward in response.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

"Charge ......"

The Sui army was constantly drumming war, and He Ruobi, the king of Zhenwu, personally led 10,000 elite military armor guards as the vanguard, which made people shocked and shocked and rushed to Hangu Pass without stopping.

Under the roar of He Ruobi's thunderous shouts, the Jingwu armor guard was even faster and faster, and with iron hooves, he rushed to the level and stepped on the Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is also the best Xiongguan, and now it can be said to be the first pass in the world, how can it be shaken by iron hooves? !

With He Ruobi and Jingwu Jiawei as examples, the follow-up Sui army also kept moving, like an endless surging frenzy, the crowd surged, and rushed directly to Hangu Pass, and Wei Ruo succeeded in the battle.

Wuli ......

Sanli ......

Seeing that the Jingwu armor guard was about to enter the range of guarding the pass, He Ruobi and the Jingwu armor guard bent their bows and arrows together, pointing directly at the city wall.

With the strength of the elite armor guard, holding an iron bow, the range can reach as far as three miles.

However, what is surprising is that He Ruobi and Jingwu Jiawei have been bending their bows and arrows to aim, but they have not shot......

Two Miles......

One mile ......

"Fight!"

Seeing the elite martial armor guard rushing into the firing range, Li Xiu would rather not be polite, and take the lead in luck.

"Boom ......"

Hundreds of city-defending equipment were launched, roaring, countless boulders, giant crossbows, etc., overwhelmingly bombarded the galloping elite armor guards, and tens of thousands of sharp arrows erupted together, the bowstring exploded, and the cold covered the sky.

"Shoot ......"

Only after Li Xiuning took a breath, He Ruobi followed and shouted loudly, and released the bowstring, and nine iron arrows roared out with a piercing scream......

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The elite armor guards, who had been prepared for a long time, erupted at the same time, the bowstring was deafening, humming endlessly and screaming, and ten thousand sharp arrows were shot, and the momentum actually overwhelmed at least 50,000 sharp arrows defending the city.

The bow shook the city walls!

What is surprising again is that including He Ruobi himself, the sharp arrows of the Jingwu armor guard were not aimed at the defenders at the head of the wall, but at the city wall, and none of them hit the head of the wall......

In an instant, the black-iron city wall of more than 100 zhang was nailed full of sharp arrows, and the arrow feathers buzzed.

Countless boulders, giant crossbows, sharp arrows, etc. fell, but they were easily dodged by the Jingwu armor guards, and only dozens of them were smashed and wounded, and the casualties were negligible!

300 meters......

100 meters......

He Ruobi led 10,000 elite armor guards, fearlessly braving the rain of arrows and boulders, etc., and still rushed straight to the city wall, making the small half of the city defenders a little stunned.

Even the "cavalry storm" that was powerful in the world before, and the Beidi Iron Cavalry, which was recognized as the strongest cavalry, did not dare to use the cavalry to storm the cities of the big city and above!

Fifty meters......

Thirty meters......

At the speed of a war horse, you can crash into the city wall in a breath!

"Pengyi array, up!"

The original clouds of martial arts like a dome have vaguely turned into a giant peng with wings spread for several miles, and it is like a giant peng spreading its wings and flying high......

Led by He Ruobi, with 10,000 elite warrior guards, he jumped off the horse's back and slid towards the city wall, like a cornice, walking on the wall, and rising to the sky along the vertical city wall at a very fast speed......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The defenders who had been prepared for a long time were shocked, and rolling stones, giant trees, hot oil, boiling water, etc., poured down from the wall, but it was difficult to stop the general trend of Jingwu armor guards from climbing the wall.

"Pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, step forward!"

Li Xiuning's delicate and heroic face was quite ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, and continued:

"Kill!"

It is indeed a kind of sadness to sit on the Xiongguan Pass, but to be tackled by the enemy army with such tactics, and the enemy army is clearly bullying people! )
