Chapter 339 The grudge of a poisonous arrow, Pang De's four sons will repay it!
Fancheng has more than one probe horse, and more than one scout.
Is that scout "farting"?
Was the Pound battalion punished by the "Divine Arrow from the Sky"?
Will the 35,000 soldiers under Pound's command be dead or alive?
These were quickly verified.
Pound's camp is not far from Fancheng, and when the second scout came to report, Pound responded with the words "You fart" as always, and even slapped the scout in the face.
Until the end, he especially carried his persistence.
Four sons, that's four sons?
What father can withstand such a blow?
It's just that at this moment, there was inevitably an extra heavy stone in his heart, which weighed him out of breath and pressed his nerves on the verge of collapse.
In fact...
Why is it that Pound's heart is weighed down by a stone?
Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yan, they are also sad, and their mood is equally sad!
In fact, at the time of the first scout's report, they just... And they all believed.
At such a close distance, it's this dawn and dawn...
Why should scouts lie? The scouts have no reason to lie!
Soon, when the third scout also reported the situation of the Wei army camp south of Xiangfan...
The same is the "arrow from the sky";
The same is true of "a hundred thousand, or even a million, of crossbows";
It is the same as "35,000 soldiers all died, and none survived!" ”
This time, Pound didn't speak, and he didn't start beating people, he stumbled, and the whole person fell to the ground, he wanted to stand up, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them, his whole body was trembling, trembling so much!
He cares about the 30,000 recruits, and he also cares about the 5,000 Xiliang knights, but what he cares about the most, the most, the most, the most, is his four sons, the four sons who have just been named "Guannei Hou"!
At this moment, the stone that weighed on his heart became heavier, and his breathing became difficult and painful.
The iron-clad man couldn't stop shedding tears, like beads with broken threads, unable to stop flowing tears.
Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yan also fell into deep surprise.
They look at each other...
But no matter how their eyes met, they couldn't figure out what a "divine arrow from the sky" was, how could 35,000 soldiers be wiped out in a short time, less than an hour!
That's 35,000 soldiers, huh?
It's 35,000 pigs, standing there and not fighting back, for people to cut down... You can't finish cutting it in a morning, right? Isn't it tiring to cut someone?
"Is it another incendiary canister?" Zhao Yan asked in astonishment... He still doesn't believe in some bullshit crossbows, what millions of crossbows?
When did Jingzhou have a crossbow battle array of this scale?
But before the word "burning can" came out, Zhao Yan hurriedly shook his head.
Wrong... It must not be an incendiary canister.
Not to mention that because of the last time, because the Cao army suffered the loss of the incendiary canister up and down, after that, all the Cao army camps would dig a circle of trenches on the periphery, just to prevent the enemy from carrying the incendiary canisters and throwing them into the camp.
Even, take another 10,000 steps back and say, if it's a burning can, what about the fire?
Pang De's military fortress is not far from Xiangfan, even if it can't be seen, but the smoke caused by the fire can always be seen, right?
"It's not an incendiary canister," the scout quickly explained, "it's a crossbow, it's really a crossbow, it's... It's a dense mass of crossbow arrows, denser than rain, denser than locust transit... The small, the small ones are real, hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows are fired into the camp non-stop... The entire camp is covered with crossbow arrows, and there is no way to hide, there is no way to dodge! ”
Even when this scout described the picture of "40,000 Qin crossbows firing together", he couldn't help but stumble and be nervous.
Like, that picture is shocking, terrifying, and terrifying!
Even from the heart of fear, trembling...
"What about my son? What about my son? While? Dragons? Wind? Tiger? ”
Pound's voice was already a little hysterical, and all that came to his mind was the appearance of his sons Pang Hui, Pang Feng, Pang Long, and Pang Hu...
But these appearances are getting more and more blurred, more and more blurred!
The scouts had all but pronounced his son's death sentence.
He had to come to terms with that.
That is, his four sons of Pound, one... Not a single one remained! None of them will come back!
"The last general... The last general is going to fight! ”
With a "snap", Pound's knee slammed into the bluestone floor, and the knee collided with the floor with a violent sound, and Pound's voice continued, "The last general is going to fight, and the last general is going to fight... For thirty-five thousand soldiers, to... Avenge my four sons! Snow... Snow Hate—"
Pound was really crazy, his voice was terrible, like hatred swept through the sky...
The destruction of the camp almost knocked his glory, his glory, his blood and bones, and his family from the peak to the bottom in one breath!
He hates!
What does he hate...
He just shot Guan Yu with a poisoned arrow, but... But this son of the Guan family, just... Will he pay it with a million-strong crossbow and the lives of his four sons?
He hates!
"The last general asks for battle-" Pound asked for the third time...
Cao Ren showed a complicated expression, in this case, the situation is unclear.
That Guan Jia Shiro was able to destroy Pang De's army with a million crossbow arrows, would there also be an ambush near Xiangyang, and would hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows burst out when the army left the city? Then all the Wei troops in Xiangyang City were also shot...
And his purpose is actually to lure the enemy out of the city, annihilate the enemy in the wild, and then capture Fancheng?
Is that so?
Cao Ren couldn't help but reverie.
So...
So what method does Sekiya Shiro use? Such a silent crossbow array? And what method was used to achieve such a scale of range and power?
Also, that Seki Shiro......
For a while, countless question marks appeared on Cao Ren's forehead, countless question marks about this Guan Jia Shiro!
He didn't understand this, he couldn't guess it!
It was precisely because he didn't understand and guessed that he didn't dare to give orders easily... Go and get Pound's revenge!
When people face everything unknown, they will always be afraid, will escape, and will be frightened.
It's just, these... To whom can he speak?
Sure enough, Zhao Yan read out what Cao Ren meant, and hurriedly said: "Can't go out of the city, after Guan Yu's death, we withdrew too many scouts, and now there is too little intelligence, where is the enemy army?" What crossbow bolts are used by the enemy? How many of these are there in the enemy army ... We don't know anything. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yan continued to solemnly remind, and his tone became more serious: "Last night's scouts also came with news that none of the Guan family troops in Jiangling City moved... So where did these soldiers come from? ”
With Zhao Yan's words, Xu Huang couldn't help but groan, "Divine sword from the sky, divine soldier from heaven?" The bottom line is... Is it me waiting or underestimating that Guan Jia Shiro? Unexpectedly... He... He was able to come out of the grief after Guan Yu's death so quickly, and... Also took advantage of his father's death to make me wait for slack, and then... and then plotted against Xiangfan..."
Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused deeply, and he muttered, "Is this kid a human?" Is he hard-hearted? Doesn't he have a little filial piety in his heart? … Oh, yes... He is the rumored rebel son of the Guan family, a rebel? How can there be filial piety? ”
At this moment, even Xu Huang's voice was full of grief.
And with this voice, Pound realized that after all... He can't get out of the city, and he can't get revenge.
So...
All that was left before him was that he had to see his glory, his sons, his horses depart from him, and he... And he, the self-proclaimed second brave man in the pass, can't do anything!
Lamentable...
Lamentable!
It's painful, it's sad!
That's when it happened.
"Newspaper-" Another scout rushed to report: "A troop of soldiers and horses from the direction of Gong'an City, there are more than 10,000 people, and they are... Siege equipment is being placed, and it is necessary to... It's about to attack Xiangyang City! ”
It's about Xiangyang City.
Xu Huang, who was originally stationed in Xiangyang, subconsciously asked: "Where did the siege equipment come from?" Where did the soldiers and horses come from? How come there is no intelligence? They... Did they fly here? ”
Faced with Xu Huang's question, the scout couldn't answer...
Who knows, when did these soldiers and horses come?
Who knows, when did these soldiers and horses bring the siege equipment?
You know, if the enemy is attacking from Gong'an City, then the transportation of siege equipment alone will definitely not be able to be transported to this side in two days?
So... Scouts, probes, eyes... Are these people blind?
At this moment, Xu Huang was also in a collapse, and he hurriedly said to Cao Ren: "No, although there are more than 10,000 defenders in Xiangyang City, I am not in Xiangyang... There is no one to co-ordinate, dispatch, and command the city, in this case, Xiangyang City will be in danger... I have to go back, I have to go back now! ”
As he spoke, Xu Huang turned around and wanted to walk out.
"Komeito stay-"
Who would have thought that at this moment, Cao Ren immediately called out to Xu Huang, "Gongming, you can't go either..."
Yes...
With Cao Ren's voice, Xu Huang realized that he and Pang De were facing the same situation.
Don't look at Fancheng is separated from Xiangyang by a river, but... That Guan Jia Shiro can "fire ten thousand crossbows at once", can unpredictably mobilize soldiers and horses other than the Guan family's army, and can quietly transport siege equipment to Xiangyang City...
So... Who knows, will he also set up an ambush outside Fancheng?
At this time, who dares to go out of the city?
At this time, going out of the city is gambling with your life!
"That's... What about Xiangyang? Xu Huang's voice was full of pathos...
Cao Ren gritted his teeth, and he immediately ordered, "Pass my military orders, send scouts, send all the scouts, this general wants to know, how many enemy troops are there?" Where are the enemy forces? ”
Speaking of this, Cao Ren once again showed his caution: "And Jiangling, don't miss the information on Jiangling's side, Guan Jiajun... That Guan family army hasn't moved yet! ”
Oh, yes... What about the Guan family army not moving?
It is precisely because Guan Jiajun did not move!
But Cao Ren in Fancheng, he couldn't move, because he didn't dare to move-
…
…
Under the city of Xiangyang, black clouds overwhelmed the city, accompanied by the beam of dawn, and blood covered the sky!
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
Loud voices continued to hiss, roar.
With the sound of gears and the sound of crossbow throwing, the huge crossbow bolts of the Thunderbolt Ten Bull Crossbow were being thrown, constantly bursting in the direction of the Xiangyang car wall.
Huge crossbow arrows pierced the sky with a sharp sound, and every time they fell on the city tower, they shook the mountains in a row.
Someone's body was directly smashed and exploded, and it turned into a blood mist in the air!
Someone's head was smashed straight into the stomach.
Someone's body was smashed into slices of meatloaf!
Some of the walls that were repaired by yellow mud were easily knocked down... Each time the crossbow bolt fell, it was a burst of area falling.
And those houses near the city walls, many of them were unfortunately hit by huge crossbow arrows, and with a "boom", the whole house collapsed...
While stirring up dust and smoke, it also blocked all the roads in the city...
"Smash, keep smashing—"
Fu Shiren commanded more than 100 Thunderbolt and Ten Ox Crossbows beside him, and this large-scale siege equipment that was completed by the combination of "Thunderbolt Car" and "Ten Ox Crossbows" was constantly destroying the Xiangyang City Wall and the defenders' defenses with its crossbow arrows.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The defenders on the city tower let out a terrible scream, the sudden enemy army, the sudden attack, made Xiangyang City, the city that was already lax, suddenly suffered a fierce blow!
At this moment, the city is already full of rumors.
Because the defense line of the siege is the north gate of the Han River, hundreds of people have taken refuge in the direction of the south gate!
You know, since ten days ago, the defenders here have withdrawn thirty percent, and they are returning north to their hometown to visit relatives... It is precisely for this reason that the number of defenders in Xiangyang City is only more than 10,000.
Coupled with the slackness of several days in a row, the wood, arrows, stones, axes, hooks and forks on the tower of Xiangyang City are not complete, and now, thousands of soldiers and horses must be transferred from the arsenal to carry them.
It's just that...
The terrifying huge "crossbow arrows" that fell from the sky smashed the vicinity of the castle tower into tatters and fragments, which added infinite difficulty to the transportation of ordnance.
"Smash again, smash again—"
Fu Shiren outside the city shouted loudly, as if the huge crossbow arrows of the "Thunderbolt Ten Ox Crossbow" did not need money, and he was stunned like a stone, and desperately roared and smashed into the city.
Mi Fang was already ready to go, sharpening his knife, he knew that he was not as good as Fu Shiren in commanding the troops, so he took the initiative to let Fu Shiren coordinate the command, but Mi Fang couldn't help asking: "When will I go up?" ”
What does he mean by this, when did he get on the 8,000 parts of his work?
All set... Just waiting to storm the city.
"Don't panic, don't panic..."
Compared with Mi Fang's excitement, Fu Shiren seemed very calm, he was quite like a "general" pinching his waist, stretching out an arm to point at the panicked enemy troops on the city tower.
"Look, look at the enemy troops defending the city, there is no discipline at all, this will take another half an hour, and these defenders will collapse one by one!"
After Fu Shiren said this, Mi Fang also looked at the city tower, indeed... The whole castle tower is a mess, and there is no order...
It gave him the feeling that he wouldn't be able to command like this!
But...
Mi Fang was still a little worried: "You smashed it with a thunderbolt and ten bull crossbows, but it's also powerful... can smash the morale of those defenders, but aren't you afraid that Cao Ren will lead troops to kill Fancheng? When the time comes, we will be attacked on our backs, and this thunderbolt and ten bull crossbow will be useless! ”
Mi Fang voiced his concerns.
It's just that Fu Shiren laughed and said, "Hahahaha... You overestimate that Cao Ren! ”
Speaking of this, Fu Shiren continued: "What did the third brother say to the two of us when he came to the Public Security City before? Have you forgotten? ”
"What?" Mi Fang looked curious.
"What about this Cao Ren, he is very cautious, he has been able to compete with Guan Yu for so many years, relying on the shrunken turtle-like guard!" Fu Shiren continued to explain, "Even if he once had a brilliant record of attacking, but at this time, more than 30,000 people died in Dazhai outside the city overnight, and he understood everything? Does he dare to come out? Aren't you afraid that we still have an ambush? ”
"But..."Mi Fang scratched her head, "But we didn't have an ambush!" ”
"Hahahaha..."Fu Shiren smiled: "Is there an ambush, this Cao Ren doesn't dare to come out... Let alone... There are 40,000 crossbowmen not far from our side? It's enough to scare him Cao Ren to death! ”
"That's... This Cao Ren would watch Xiangyang City being smashed like this? Smashing to pieces? Mi Fang spread his hands, "I think he is still reluctant to this Xiangyang in the end!" ”
"Naturally, I can't bear it." Fu Shiren stroked his beard while instructing the soldiers to continue to throw the "huge crossbow arrows" and continue to "bomb" Xiangyang City, while sighing: "What about our third brother counting him Cao Ren?" If he, Cao Ren, wants to attack, he will definitely make sure that nothing goes wrong... But if at this time, a scout told him that Yun Chang had woken up and was leading his troops to Fancheng, he wouldn't say anything about going out of the city, even if he farted, he wouldn't tremble! ”
Belch...
Mi Fang was stunned, naturally... He and Fu Shiren knew in advance that Guan Yu was deceitful.
But Mi Fang didn't expect that the third brother Guan Lin still had a hand, and used his father Guan Yu to scare this Cao Ren, but... Hearing Fu Shiren say this, Mi Fang's heart was much more stable.
As long as Fan Cheng doesn't come to make trouble, Xiangyang City on their side can fight slowly...
It's just that... Thinking that Xiangyang City had been captured, it was their third brother's, Mi Fang couldn't help but look eager, he was worried that it would change later, and he couldn't wait to take a piece of song to rush to this dangerous Xiangyang City.
"It's all smashed like this, almost, isn't it? It's time for the Eight Ox Crossbow, right? ”
Mi Fang proposed...
In fact, in this siege battle, the Thunderbolt Ten Bull Crossbow was used as a "catapult", it was used for area damage, it was used to smash the tower, and it was used to drop the morale of the enemy.
The Eight Ox Crossbows, on the other hand, are to shoot crossbow arrows into the city tower, and then use these crossbow arrows as ladders... Let the soldiers step on this arrow and climb the tower.
This is much more reliable than the ladder, and the most powerful thing is that it is firm!
Even, in order to attack this Xiangyang City, Mi Fang has almost practiced more than 20 times, and if he doesn't go up, he will have a little itchy hands.
Can't last... Xiangyang City was smashed open by the "Thunderbolt Ten Bull Crossbow", so he was lonely in this siege practice!
"No, don't smash it, it's time for me to get on..."Mi Fang grabbed Fu Shiren's arm.
Fu Shiren also saw that there was not much left, "Okay, second brother... It's up to you to attack the city! Our three brothers, whether we can have the final say in this Xiangyang City is up to you..."
I blurted out this...
Mi Fang has long sharpened her knives, and she can't hold back it for a long time...
"Eight bull crossbows, put-"
With the release of two rounds of hundreds of eight-bull crossbow arrows, countless crossbow arrows smashed into the city wall of Xiangyang City, densely packed, forming a natural staircase!
With a "whoosh", Mi Fang pulled out his saber and shouted:
"Handle, follow me—"
"The one who ascends the city tower first, the house in Xiangyang City, the land outside the city, you can choose-"
Mi Fang's words are full of imagination.
However, he thinks that he also has this qualification, this Xiangyang City was fought down by him, it is their third brother's, the house in Xiangyang City, the land outside Xiangyang City, he can give it to whoever he wants, he still has this qualification!
That's what he was thinking about...
only to find that a piece of song had rushed over.
Money, house, land...
These things are always the driving force behind the bloody struggle of "warriors" and "dead soldiers" and warriors into "gods of war"!
