Chapter 90 Decisive victory in Longxi
After a vicious battle, the true qi of the main generals on both sides was completely consumed, and they could no longer be able to act in front of the two armies, and the two sides could only fight a fierce battle with real swords and guns.
Jiang Wei hurriedly grabbed the soft ladder thrown from the city, returned to the head of Longxi City, and watched the Wei army array under the city begin to move, and hurriedly ordered everyone:
"Zhuge Zhan and Fu Yan, let the two of you lead the White Ear Army and your subordinates to defend the east gate, once the east gate is breached, you need to fight to the death at the city gate!"
Zhuge Zhan and Fu Yan hurriedly took the order and left.
Jiang Wei ordered again: "Ma Dai and Oh He Yaoge, let you each lead 10,000 cavalry, set off from the north and south gates, detour back to the rear of the Wei army, and flank the Wei army!" ”
Ma Dai and Oh He Yaoge also hurriedly took the order downstairs.
"Guan Yinping, Hua Wei, and Pan Ping, order the three of you to lead all the crossbowmen in the city to defend the city wall, and you must not let anyone in the Wei army occupy the city wall!"
"Yes!" The three of them took orders one after another.
Jiang Wei dragged his tired body, led his own soldiers, sat in the city tower, and commanded the overall situation.
The Wei army's thunderbolt catapult had already begun to whizz and send out stone bullets, smashing towards Longxi City.
This kind of thunderbolt was invented by Liu Ye, a veteran of the three dynasties of Cao Wei, this siege weapon, once showed its might in the battle of Guandu, and broke Yuan Shao's siege plan of the arrow tower.
At that time, Yuan Shao piled up a mountain of soil in the camp, built high-rise buildings, shot arrows at Cao Ying, and pressed Cao's army to fight.
Liu Ye presented a thunderbolt in time, throwing stones like thunder, and broke Yuan Shao's arrow towers one by one, before relieving the siege of Yuan Shao. Later, this siege weapon has been repeatedly improved and has become the standard configuration of the Wei army.
Guo Huai's expedition brought a total of 20 thunderbolt cars, although the thunderbolt vehicles traveled slowly, seriously slowing down the Wei army's marching speed, but once the thunderbolt arrived at the battlefield, all the city defenses of Longxi City were not a problem.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
One after another, thunderbolts began to throw huge stones at the gates and arrow towers of Longxi City.
When several huge stones smashed on the city gate of the east gate of Longxi City, the city gate, which originally seemed to be indestructible, was constantly deformed by the boulders, and finally could not support it, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing that the east gate of Longxi City finally opened, the Wei army suddenly broke out into huge cheers.
As soon as Guo Huai pointed the banner, the ten hundred-man infantry phalanx in front of the Wei army's infantry rushed towards the city gate.
The crossbowmen marched forward one after another, rushed to the front, and when they reached eighty paces, they began to shoot at the Shu army on the city wall.
The sword and shield men of the Wei army set up long shields one after another, covering in front of the crossbowmen.
Xiahou Ba personally commanded the soldiers, diligently pushing the huge bed crossbow, marching to a hundred and fifty paces away, aiming towards the city gate!
After adjusting the angle of fire, Xiahou Ba gave an order, and ten bed crossbows were fired violently, emitting a series of fluttering bowstring sounds.
Ten crossbows, as thick as spears, shot towards the gate hole.
Each crossbow arrow carried a huge power, and as soon as it entered the city, it shot over a series of Shu troops.
Soon, the infantry who followed crossed the line of the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow could not be thrown, and when the Wei army's own infantry crossed the bed crossbow battle line, the bed crossbow did not dare to shoot at the city gate, which would first hurt their own soldiers.
Xiahou Ba hurriedly ordered the bed crossbowman to adjust the angle of fire, raise the angle of the bed crossbow, and aim at the Shu army at the head of the city.
"Kill!"
Xiahou Ba commanded the attack of the front army, and he shouted loudly, and all the Wei infantry followed and shouted and attacked the city gate.
Inside the city gate, Jiang Wei stood at the head of the city and shouted at Zhuge Zhan:
"Zhuge Zhan, use the Bai'er Army to set up a pocket array, and be sure to guard the city gate!"
Zhuge Zhan nodded vigorously at Jiang Wei, and then divided the Baier Army into three large formations of six hundred people, and arranged a U-shaped large pocket formation inside the city gate.
The over-long spears of the Bai'er army were two feet long, and when the huge pocket array was arranged, Zhuge Zhan believed that no matter which direction the Wei army rushed in attacked, he would be greeted by the tip of Sensen's spear.
Zhuge Zhan also summoned the infantry of the Shu army and the Qiang soldiers to suppress the formation, and arranged a reserve of 5,000 infantry behind each side of the U-shaped spear phalanx, thus greatly thickening the depth of the gun array and preventing the gun array from being broken through.
Soon, the fanatical Wei army rushed in against the dense rain of arrows at the head of Longxi City.
When the first Wei army collided with the phalanx of the white ear army's super long spears, they were dumbfounded, and after rushing into the city, they found that they were surrounded by Sensen's super long spears on three sides, which were very long, far longer than their own weapons.
Soon the Wei army collided with the White Ear Army, the White Ear Army was well-trained, and with the cooperation of the front and back, it was almost difficult for the Wei army to bully in front of the White Ear Army, but the White Ear Army could easily assassinate the Wei army.
The Wei army outside the city did not know the situation inside the city, and was constantly squeezing into the city.
And the attack surface in the city is so small, it can't accommodate tens of thousands of people at all, as the Wei army continues to enter the city, there are more and more Wei troops in the pocket array of the Baier army, and soon they leave a lot of corpses in the city.
However, although the Wei army was numerous, it was never able to gain an advantage on either side, but because there were too many people, they were crowded together, which restricted the space for the Wei infantry to wield their weapons.
The White Ear Army efficiently harvested the lives of the Wei army inside the city gate, while the Wei army outside the city kept coming, and no one knew what was going on in the city.
Seeing that the attack in the city was going well, Jiang Wei hurriedly asked Guan Yinping and Hua Wei to command the crossbowmen to no longer shoot outside the city, and all shot at the Wei army crowded in the city.
At this time, the Wei army, which was crowded into the formation, suddenly faced attacks from several aspects, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and had no power to fight back.
In this way, the two armies fought repeatedly at the gate of the city, and fought for more than half an hour, but they could not distinguish the winner or loser.
"General Guo, something is wrong!" Cao Aya said to Guo Huai.
"I see that our army has attacked more than 10,000 troops, but it has never been able to open a breakthrough, and I don't know what is happening in the city?"
Guo Huai was also surprised, according to his expectations, the 10,000 Wei troops who were in the vanguard should have occupied the city gate at this time, but why was the city gate still crowded, and he didn't know what was going on?
So he said to his own soldiers beside him, "Go and find out, what is happening at the city gate?" ”
But before Tanma went out, Xiahou Ba found Guo Huai in a hurry and preached to Guo Huai eagerly:
"General Guo, I stood on the bed crossbow, and I saw clearly that the Shu army had set up a large pocket array in the city, and the soldiers who attacked it would not only suffer the attack of the Shu army's pikemen, but also the attack of the crossbowmen at the head of the city. It's not a way to fight like this! ”
Guo Huai was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to order the soldiers to withdraw.
But at this moment, a cavalry of the Shu army appeared on the southeast and northeast sides of the Wei army's large array, and each cavalry had a scale of 10,000 people.
The two cavalry were rolling up the yellow sand and attacking towards the rear of their large array.
"Oops, our army is going to be outflanked!" Guo Huai was shocked!
Hurriedly said to the pro-soldiers: "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal! ”
Immediately, the sound of gold sounded in the large array of the Wei army, and the Wei army, which heard the signal to retreat, retreated like a tide.
Guo Huai hurriedly ordered Xiahou Ba to gather the cavalry of his headquarters and entangle with the cavalry of the Shu army rushing from both sides, so as to protect the large array of Her Royal Highness the princess.
I looked at Longxi City with some despair in my heart, and a burst of sadness came from my heart.
"It's a pity, Longxi City, which is close at hand and within reach, has been defeated!"
