After a round of crossbows were shot down, only twenty breaths later, there was another loud vibration, and the Yizhou soldiers were already very familiar with the sound of the red-clothed ballista firing, knowing that the second wave of crossbows had been shot, they hurriedly hid behind a more solid cover, they didn't want to even take a picture of the Yan army's face, so they died in a daze under the edge of the red-clothed crossbow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Round after round of red-clothed crossbows kept attacking and falling towards the Jiameng Pass, and the suppressed Yizhou soldiers couldn't even fight back, even if they came out to check outside the pass. It wasn't until more than a dozen rounds of crossbows had passed that the red-clothed ballistae stopped bombarding, allowing these Yizhou generals of the Yizhou Army, who had been shrinking turtles for a long time, to poke their heads out and look at the pass, who knew that this look shocked them collectively!

Originally. The Yan army took advantage of the attack of the red-clothed ballista, and the entire queue advanced by five hundred steps, especially the front army led by Yuan Qi himself, which had approached the distance of three hundred steps in front of Jiameng Pass, on Yuan Qi's side, there were one hundred towering arrow towers on the left and right sides, and at this moment, these arrow towers were already densely filled with archers, and the bowbows and crossbows in their hands had been put on the bowstring. At any time, you can carry out a condescending covering attack on Jia Mengguan. It is true that Jiameng Pass is dangerous, but that only means that the terrain of Jiameng Pass is precipitous, not that the wall of Jiameng Pass is high, and in order to attack Yizhou, which is full of natural dangers. Yuan Qi deliberately asked Wang Yezi and others to work overtime to raise the arrow tower, and now the arrow tower equipped in the army is twelve zhang high, which can be said to be the peak of the craftsmanship of this era. In the face of such a height, there are few cities that can compare with these arrow towers, all over the world. Perhaps only Chang'an, Beijing and Yanjing are limited to three or five strong cities, which have such a height.

After seeing the arrow tower, the first reaction of the Yizhou army was shock, and the second reaction was to hurriedly shout and give orders to the sergeants of their subordinates: "Zhang hangs wet cowhide, hurry up!" In the roar of generals at all levels, the Yizhou army acted quickly, turned out the cowhide from the materials defending the city, splashed it with water, and hung it everywhere on the wall, looking down from the sky, just like at the juncture of Jiameng Pass, a huge cowhide umbrella suddenly appeared.

With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Qi said to himself: "These cowhides of yours are ...... who have been used to pass their hands and feet" He suddenly raised his right hand, and then slashed it down, and Yuan Qi gave the order to shoot.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who followed closely on Yuan's side, immediately shouted loudly to both sides: "Crossbowmen, release the arrows!" The enemy soldiers on the arrow towers on both sides immediately raised their bows and arrows, and after a little aiming, they shot out the sharp arrows that had been placed on the bowstring and shot out at the juncture of Jia Meng Pass, and in an instant, the upper, middle and lower layers of the two hundred arrow towers fired at the same time, and tens of thousands of sharp arrows roared into the sky, some shot down, some projectile, and flat shot, the angle was different, but the purpose was the same, that is, to effectively kill the Yizhou army on the Jia Meng Pass!

When the arrow tower launched an attack, the veteran Huang Yong appropriately ordered to launch the red-coated ballista again, and thousands of crossbows were mixed with tens of thousands of sharp arrows, overwhelmingly attacking Jia Mengguan.

The sharp arrows and crossbows had just been shot, and Yuan Qi didn't wait to see the effect, he turned his head and said to Zhang Chong: "Zhang Chong, launch an attack!"

Zhang Chong agreed loudly, stretched out his hand behind him, and the 20,000 troops under him immediately carried the ladder and rushed out behind Zhang Chong. In this campaign, Zhang Chong has always played the role of the vanguard of the attack, and his subordinates have long been adapted to such a task, and have long prepared all kinds of military materials for the siege.

With Zhang Chong's movements, Zuo Ci took the 20,000 troops of the headquarters to fill the blank space left behind after Zhang Chong's headquarters rushed out, according to the convention, after Zhang Chong, it should be his troops to prepare, once Zhang Chong's soldiers set up the ladder, they will rush over, following Zhang Chong's headquarters, along the ladder began to forcibly attack the city.

At the same time that Yuan Qi issued the order to attack, after the pass, Ma Yue also led his troops to launch a strong attack, but it did not launch a strong attack, but let the Digui Lux cover with hand crossbows, and let Wei Yan take a part of the Digui Lux to feint behind the pass. After all, there are only 20,000 troops behind the enemy line, and there is a non-combat attrition on the road to the army, even if they are the local wrestlers, it is impossible to rely on this number to forcibly conquer the Jiameng Pass, attracting firepower, distracting the attention of Mount Tai, and creating fighters for the Yuan Qi in front of the pass, which is the strategic goal of Ma Yue.

However, it seems that things are a little unexpected by Ma Yue, the cowhides hanging on the wall seem to be heavy and strong, but they are broken in a bucket, and even the crossbows of the hand crossbows can't resist, only two rounds of salvos, the Yizhou soldiers hiding behind the cowhides were killed by the Digui Lux in the air.

After discovering this situation, Ma Yue immediately changed his combat policy and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Stop scattering, find the target and strike accurately!" Although the power of the Xizi hand crossbow is large, but in order to facilitate carrying, the size is very small, and the Xizi hand crossbow that can be fastened on the arm can only accommodate three crossbow arrows, after two rounds of salvo, in the hand crossbow in the hands of the earthly wrestlers, only the last blow of the crossbow is left, but because this time it is a detour behind the enemy's back, so each of the Digui Lux carries three times the number of crossbow arrows, that is, they also have two spare ammunition to load the crossbow arrows.

With Ma Yue's order, the Yizhou army commanded by Fa Zheng immediately had greater casualties, the return of the force is one of the four elite troops of the Yuan, although they are not as versatile as the Tiangui army, but they usually work the crossbow, so their shooting level is also first-class, under the precision strike, a crossbow bolt locked on different targets, causing accurate shooting to the Yizhou army, more than a dozen breaths of time, it killed more than 4,000 Yizhou troops, better than the effect of the two rounds of salvo just now。

This situation was immediately discovered by Fa Zheng at the juncture, Fa Zheng looked at the cowhide in front of the Yizhou army with doubts, the cowhide is still cowhide, if it is fake, and there is no problem to see the thickness, how can it be penetrated so easily? Could it be that the enemy's hand crossbow is too powerful, not only can it reach the range of the bow and arrow, but its attack power is also sharper than that of ordinary hand crossbows?

"Overlap two or two dogskins together, I want to see how powerful their hand crossbows are!" After Fa Zheng didn't find a problem, he could only attribute the reason why his own cowhide was easily penetrated by the enemy's hand crossbow to the reason why the hand crossbow was too powerful, so he issued such an order.

When the Yizhou army was adjusting according to Fa Zheng's order, Fa Zheng beckoned to the general Zhang Wei and asked in a low voice: "Are there any problems with these cowhides?" Fa Zheng knew that he was a civilian official and was not very familiar with the military resources of cowhides, and Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi were both generals from the army, and they knew all the armaments very well, so Fa Zheng asked this question.

Zhang Wei said with a puzzled face: "Just now there are a few dog skins that are hung by a certain hand, judging from the thickness and weight, there is no problem, but a certain person found that the flexibility of these cowhides seems to be slightly worse than usual, but this does not mean that there is a problem with the cowhide, it is normal for the cowhide to harden after being stored for a long time, and this will not affect the toughness of the cowhide, logically speaking, it should not be impossible to block the breakdown of the crossbow, even if, uh, Yan Jun's hand crossbow is very powerful." ”

"Then what's going on, why can't these cowhides stop the enemy's crossbows?" Fa Zheng lowered his head and pondered with a puzzled expression......

The things that make Fazheng puzzled, on the main battlefield in front of the pass, are also bothering Mount Tai. Originally, the Yizhou generals in front of the pass were full of confidence that their cowhides could block most of the enemy's bows and arrows, but what was surprising was that these cowhides were like paper paste, becoming fragile, under the thorns of tens of thousands of sharp arrows, there were no one or two dog skins to play their due role, without exception were pierced by sharp arrows, resulting in the Yizhou army hiding under the cowhide, all were shot on the spot, because it was too unexpected, no one thought that the cowhide would not be able to block the enemy's arrows, many Yizhou troops did not even raise their shields, and hid behind the cowhide safely, so, this time the arrow rain took away the lives of nearly 10,000 Yizhou soldiers, so that the already red Jiamengguan wall, is even more crimson, and the ground is full of streams formed by blood gathering.
