In the end, it was caught off guard, and the first round of bombardment often had the most significant effect, directly destroying more than 100 siege vehicles of the Han army. Because the siege equipment of the Han army was extremely neatly arranged, the so-called precise and inaccurate hits lost their meaning, even if it was just a wave of gravel air, the effect would not be very bad.

What's more, to deal with these wooden structure-based punchers and crossbow machines, there is no need to blast them into slag at all, and it is easy to let them lose one or two parts, and then one will be scrapped. Except for the four wheels at the bottom, which parts of these siege engines are not very important. One less beam would make this thing a pile of garbage.

The sergeants of the Han army's front camp were blinded by the sudden stone bombs that fell from the sky, and their ears were ringing with the sound of the trembling explosions, and the debris and rubble flying everywhere prevented them from dodging. Before he could react, the second round of bombardment unceremoniously struck again, rumbling like thunder rolling by, and the crowd suddenly became a mess.

It was not until after the third round of bombardment that the Han soldiers finally came to their senses, apparently under attack by the Tang army. The reaction of several generals was quite quick, and they immediately roared loudly and organized the sergeants to prepare for a counterattack. When Shao Tingxuan, who was in a state of panic, hurried to the vicinity of the camp gate, four or five thousand elite infantry had already been assembled.

"Damn, didn't Li Yuan's soldiers and horses eat the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dare to stop in front of our house and bomb?"

Shao Tingxuan scolded several times: "Order, all of them will rush out for us and wipe out all the Tang army!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Before the words fell, the explosion of the fourth round of bombardment of the Wuping army came at the right time, and responded as if mockingly.

In front of him, Shao Tingxuan scolded angrily, couldn't help but take the lead in riding his horse and rushed out, and thousands of sergeants behind him immediately swarmed to follow, rushing towards the dark west where there was no human figure in sight. No one knows that no matter how tall the siege equipment is, it can't withstand a close attack.

The most effective way to deal with these long-range catapults or crossbows is to rush to the front and kill those who are manipulating the equipment, and then destroy them. Shao Tingxuan and the generals knew this very well, so they rushed out with the sergeant without a moment's hesitation.

After more than 500 steps, half of the distance was halfway in the blink of an eye, and Shao Tingxuan and the group of sergeants finally saw the trebuchet arm that was erected high in the darkness and haze not far away. The busy Wuping sergeants below, the black figures are also faintly visible, and they are tacitly transporting stone bullets before launching them at this moment.

;/a>

"Whew!" Witnessing the thick arm at close range, the stone bullet rose into the air, and Shao Tingxuan and the soldiers of the Han army were all terrified.

It is conceivable that after each round of bombardment, the siege equipment in the camp behind him will be bombed to pieces, but Shao Tingxuan has no time to scruple, at this time he just wants to rush forward quickly, cut these bold Tang troops to pieces, and smash these trebuchets into a mess.

The Han army rushed forward desperately, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the darkness suddenly flickered, and countless leaves fell in shock. Immediately afterwards, a long row of black shadows of the Mohu Lake suddenly appeared more than a hundred steps ahead, which was more than a thousand Wuping army crossbowmen who had been in ambush in the bushes for a long time. Their duty was obvious: to protect the trebuchets and wrestlers in the rear.

"Buzzing" a muffled sound, the rain of arrows hidden in the dark night silently shot, the Han soldiers who were rushing were too late to take precautions, a round of strong bows shot down more than 100 people, screams, rolling sounds suddenly resounded through the mountains and forests.

Shao Tingxuan was taken aback, and immediately realized how thrilling it was for him to take the lead in the charge, after all, there were only a few horseback riders in the Han army, and it was really unwise to see the generals who led the army at first glance. Then he hurriedly reined in his horse, drew his sword and shouted: "Rush forward!" After the horses stopped, they quickly fell behind the group.

The next is naturally the sergeant's charge, which is also the helplessness of being a big-headed soldier, even if he knows that the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he can't stop, the sound of arrows breaking through the air above his head is whirring, and someone next to him is wailing and falling to the ground from time to time, and thousands of Han soldiers in the place of death and life have to show indomitable courage, because they will definitely die if they stop, either they will be shot by the Tang Army or they will die in the hands of the rear supervision team, it is really better to rush over and let go.

In the end, there were only more than 1,000 crossbowmen in the Wuping army, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and after two rounds of shooting, there was actually no chance to shoot arrows. The Han army roared out, and the Wuping soldiers were also calm, and immediately turned around and fled into the mountains and forests. And the Han army has just suffered this bird anger, how can they be allowed to flee like this?

With a few orders, he also took out his bow and crossbow and began to chase and kill, after all, the number was five times that of the enemy, and he still succeeded in leaving hundreds of Tang soldiers, but the rest did not love to fight, even if his comrades fell, they did not look back and rushed to the depths of the bushes, the Han soldiers wanted to chase but suffered from the dense forests in the middle of the night, and only watched the Tang army escape into the darkness with only a little hesitation.

A hundred paces away, after the trebuchet launched the last round, Zhu Kuangcong and all the guards and wrestlers also retreated without hesitation. And all thirty trebuchets were doused with fire oil and ignited, obviously Wu Pingjun had no intention of taking these bulky guys with him, and naturally he would not let them fall into the hands of the Han army.

When Shao Tingxuan led the generals to finally rush to the launch place of the trebuchet, the thirty trebuchets seemed to be poured too strong with hot oil, and they were already burning fiercely, but there was no figure of the Tang army.

After suffering such a big loss tonight, how could Shao Tingxuan give up, and when he was about to open his mouth to give an order, a general hurriedly approached and whispered: "I can't chase it!" There is an ambush of the Tang army in my heart......"

This reminder came in time, and the hot-headed Shao Tingxuan suddenly calmed down, in the end, the moon had already set, and it was the darkest time before dawn, so it was really impossible to pursue indiscriminately, and they were obviously inferior to the Tang Army in terms of terrain familiarity, in case there were soldiers and horses in the forest ambushing, wouldn't they be going to Li Yuan's way again?

Although Shao Tingxuan understood that the pursuit was dangerous, and in fact, the goal of driving away these bold Tang troops who fired cannons at the gate had also been achieved, how could he not be angry, and even extremely aggrieved in his heart. At this time, thousands of Han soldiers carefully circled around the area after making sure that the traces of the Tang army had disappeared, and then obeyed the military order and followed the worried Shao Tingxuan towards the camp gate.

Needless to say, as soon as they stepped into the gate of the front camp and saw the place where the original siege equipment was parked, all the soldiers were completely dumbfounded, and the scene in front of them was described as miserable, with broken wood and earth and stones everywhere, and almost none of the killing weapons that the Han army was proud of were intact. The camp was littered with large pits and holes, and some of the unlucky sergeants were killed and wounded, either with flesh and blood, or groaning and lying on the ground, wailing.

At first, Shao Tingxuan couldn't figure out why the Tang army had to take such a bold way to attack the camp, but suddenly, he immediately reacted, how could there be any attack on the camp, and even the so-called attack on the camp tonight was a cover-up move, what kind of murder and arson, what destruction of grain and grass, all to attract attention.

The large area of siege equipment in front of them was almost destroyed, and the Han army was completely led by the Tang army tonight, but as long as the defensive position of the soldiers and horses was adjusted, the Tang army could calmly start attacking these siege equipment, this is their real purpose, it turned out that all this was a calculation......

Shao Tingxuan suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, this Li Yuan really should not be underestimated, it was only a day and a night, and before he met this person, he had successfully turned around 30,000 Han troops, and even destroyed almost all the siege equipment of the Han army, which was really terrifying.
