- The gate of the Taishou's Mansion was originally locked, but it was blown open by the Chinese Army. The soldiers followed Wei Yan and rushed in. The people in the Taishou's Mansion were unprepared and were quickly controlled by the well-dressed Chinese soldiers. Yes, many people were captured.
In the front hall of the Prefect's Mansion, Wei Yan immediately issued an order to escort all the prisoners. He only tied Cao Xiu to a pillar in the Prefect's Mansion and stopped interfering. He left the soldiers to guard the Prefect's Mansion while he went outside the city. Welcome Tai Shici and others into the city.
Wei Yan's 30,000-strong army was the vanguard of the Northwest Field Army. Although the remaining 170,000-strong army had been assembled, they were all scattered outside the city to prevent anyone from escaping. After all, this raid was a secret operation. Once the Wei army was allowed to If the news is leaked, I'm afraid Liangzhou won't be easily captured.
Cao Xiu was tied to the pillar of the prefect's mansion. He was still thinking about his wife, and he didn't know if he had run away at this time. People say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Cao Xiu was a cunning rabbit. Because he knew that the Northwest Field Army of the Chinese Army was large in number and powerful in military strength, he reserved an escape route as soon as he took office as the prefect of Wuwei, just in case.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Cao Xiu saw Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Pang De, Chu Yan and others walking in together. However, when he accidentally glanced at a woman following among the crowd, he was immediately dumbfounded. This was his wife, how could she be arrested?
Tai Shici was full of joy. When he saw Cao Xiu being tied up tightly, he raised the whip in his hand, pointed at Cao Xiu and said, "Cao Wenlie is a cunning rabbit. It's a pity that he didn't expect to be caught by our Chinese army, right?"
Cao Xiu felt ashamed when he saw his wife running towards him, and the Chinese army did not make things difficult for them. He hurriedly asked: "How could you be caught?"
"I followed my husband's instructions to leave the city, but who would have thought that the Chinese army was everywhere outside the city. As soon as I and others came out of the secret cave, they were blocked by soldiers of the Chinese army. In desperation, I had no choice but to Surrender." When Cao Xiu's wife said this, she was also a little sad, as if she had known that this would happen, so she might as well have stayed with her husband.
Tai Shici didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing Cao Xiu. He walked to Cao Xiu and asked, "General Cao, I heard that you want to surrender?"
"Yes, I want to surrender." Cao Xiu said.
"In that case, on behalf of our emperor, I would like to welcome General Cao to join. In this way, our country of China will have another general. Come and untie General Cao." Taishi Ci said with a smile.
After the soldiers untied Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu was filled with shame. He could have fought with the Huaxia Kingdom based on his own strength, but he never thought that the Huaxia Kingdom would send troops in such bad weather. He was also careless. With a trace of confusion, he asked: "General Taishi, send troops in such bad weather. How could you just think of it?"
"Haha, take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. I think that's what it means. General Cao, don't be upset. You didn't lose to us on a frontal battlefield. This time I will hide it quietly and report it to the court. How about you surrender to the city?" Taishi Ci patted Cao Xiu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Cao Xiu didn¡¯t understand what Tai Shi Ci meant by doing this. But he could feel that Tai Shici and others didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him. As if he knew he would surrender. However, he knew that he was only temporary and would definitely run back to Wei once he had the chance.
"Thank you, General. From now on, Cao Xiu is willing to do his best. General, if we divide our troops to attack the counties in Liangzhou now, I'm afraid it will be the same as here, and they will be captured without a single blow. Then, in this way, Liangzhou will be conquered without a single blow." The state is owned by our Huaxia Kingdom. The last general is not talented, but he is willing to be the vanguard in front of the general's tent and wipe out the counties of Liangzhou for the general!"
Taishi Ci said: "General Cao, it's freezing cold today, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. My soldiers are all freezing outside. Anyway, we have to celebrate the Chinese New Year before taking action. Don't worry, General Cao. You've done this kind of meritorious deeds." I can understand your mood. We will wait until after the New Year. We plan to spend the New Year here. Does General Cao have any objection? "
"NoI have no objection." Cao Xiu said hesitantly.
Later, Taishi Ci ordered the army to enter the city. Wuwei City is the largest city in Liangzhou. Because Liangzhou is often invaded by foreign tribes, the people in Wuwei City are relatively sparse. Most of them have migrated to Guanzhong. Moreover, Wuwei City is repaired every year. A city wall will be added to the periphery every year. Therefore, Wuwei City has a total of three city walls and twelve city gates. It is a fusion point where the east and west meet. There were many traders in the city. During the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuwei City once flourished. , becoming an important trading stronghold on the Silk Road. Therefore, it is relatively easy to accommodate an army of 100,000 people. The remaining 100,000 were stationed outside the city by Taishi Ci and a military camp was built.After capturing Wuwei City, the Chinese army rested and reorganized here to prepare for the capture of the entire Liangzhou.
At the same time, in Tongguan City, Xu Huang, the right cavalry general, formally welcomed Guo Jia into the city. After Guo Jia stated his intention to come, Xu Huang suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "Great, I have been waiting for it day and night, and finally I have been waiting for it. It¡¯s time for a big battle. I¡¯m going to gather the troops. Sir Taiwei, please take a break.¡±
Seeing Xu Huang's excitement, Guo Jia said: "General Xu has high morale and will definitely win this battle."
In the meeting hall of Tongguan, Xu Huang sat in the first seat on the right, giving up the top position to Guo Jia. After all, Guo Jia was a first-class official, and he was the Privy Council Lieutenant of the current dynasty, and he was personally appointed by the emperor this time. people.
In the hall, all the generals of the Kwantung Army arrived one by one. Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang were all sitting in the hall, waiting for Guo Jia to speak.
The Kwantung Army was the designation given to Xu Huang by Lin Nanqin. In the Huaxia Kingdom, an army designation system was gradually implemented. Each designation was an army directly under the remote control of the emperor. The Privy Council only played a staff role. Moreover, each army will set up a staff headquarters. Before going out for an expedition, it will no longer be carried out according to the personal will of the leader, which greatly reduces the chance of making mistakes.
Guo Jia glanced at everyone and said: "The emperor has issued an imperial edict. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the Wei army is staying in Shu, he has ordered the Northwest Field Army to formally attack Liangzhou. At the same time, he has also asked the Kwantung Army to cooperate. Launch an attack on Qinzhou Attack fiercely, strive to win the Qin and Liang states quickly, and block the Wei army in Shu! For this reason, General Xu is fully responsible for all military affairs, and I will assist you."
Having said this, Guo Jia took the initiative to walk down and came to Xu Huang. He made an invitation gesture and said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, you are most familiar with the terrain here. I can only help from the side. You are still good at charging into battle."
Xu Huang was not polite and did his duty. After standing up, he gave the order: "Gather all the troops today and go out at midnight. Let the soldiers be ready."
"No!"
Lin Yang, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang all withdrew, and Xu Huang said to Guo Jia: "Cao Ren built a magnificent pass in Huayin, no less than Tongguan. He even sealed the old mountain trails together. If you want to To pass Huayin Xiongguan, we still need the help of Lord Taiwei."
"It's easy to say. I just don't know how General Xu needs my help?" Guo Jia asked.
Xu Huang immediately opened the map, pointed on the map and said: "Your Majesty Taiwei is the son-in-law of the Huns. For this expedition, we also hope that Mr. Taiwei will borrow troops from the Huns. We only need to feign an attack and let them come from Hedong." After crossing the Yellow River and approaching the Jin Dynasty, Cao Ren will definitely send troops to assist. At this time, our army will be able to attack Huayin much easier, as long as the Huns can hold off the Wei army for two days. You can take it down in one go.¡±
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Xu. At this time, the Huns soldiers are probably on their way, and there will be news tonight."
Xu Huang was taken aback and asked, "Have you been fine for a long time, Mr. Taiwei?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "However, Cao Ren should not be underestimated. This man is the number one general in the Wei Kingdom. In terms of merit, he is higher than Xiahou Dun. In terms of reputation, he is higher than Xiahou Yuan. He is the number one general under Cao's clan. , as well as Huayin Xiongguan, so we have to deal with it carefully. Therefore, General Xu, although it will be used in this war, as long as the Huayin gate is blown, our army can take advantage of the situation and drive Cao Ren away. "
"Well, we have already made preparations. There is no need to worry too much, Lieutenant Commander. I have also discussed it with the General Staff Headquarters and the order has been issued. Even if Cao Ren cannot be caught at midnight tonight, Cao Ren will be frightened by the news." Xu Huang said decisively .
In the evening, a Xiongnu soldier came to Tongguan and said that he had captured Linjin City, but no reinforcements from Wei were seen.
When Guo Jia rushed to Tongguan as early as possible, he sent someone to deliver a message to Huchuquan, the Xiongnu Chanyu, asking for 20,000 troops to attack Wei Linjin City. After the war, all supplies would be owned by the Xiongnu. On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Huchuquan went out in person and led 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Fenglingdu. After landing, he immediately went to attack Linjin City, successfully occupied it, looted it, and waited for Wei When the national reinforcements arrived, they were ready to wait for work, but after waiting for nearly a day, they still didn't see the Wei army coming, so they sent someone to inform Guo Jia.
When Guo Jia received the battle report from the Huns, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and said to Xu Huang: "Cao Ren didn't fall into the trap. No reinforcements have arrived from the direction of Linjin. It seems that we can only fight Cao Ren head-on in this battle."
Xu Huang said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Taiwei, the Kwantung Army will definitely win the first battle tonight."
¡¡
Wei State, Qin State?, Huayin.
Cao Ren led a group of soldiers to inspect the entire pass despite the wind and snow. The soldiers stood proudly in the wind and snow, motionless, like stone statues.
The soldiers in the pass were all led by Cao Ren himself. Five years ago, it was still a relatively loose army, but five years later, it was already the first iron army in Wei. And Cao Ren was also well-known as a strict general. He changed his past aura and looked cold all day long, which made people look calm and powerful at first sight.
After the inspection, Cao Ren returned to the government office. After a quick meal, a young general came from outside. When the young general saw Cao Ren, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "See you, general!"
When Cao Ren saw the young general coming, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and asked hurriedly: "How is it? How is the situation in Linjin City?"
The young general has a strong physique, a high nose, and a pointed chin. He looks quite powerful. After hearing Cao Ren's question, he hurriedly replied: "As the general expected, after the Huns occupied Linjin, they did not move forward. They only looted the city randomly. Although they are still stationed in the city, they have not left. But according to my subordinates¡¯ guess, if we don¡¯t see our troops tomorrow, they will probably go back on their own.¡±
A smile appeared on Cao Ren's face and he said: "At this time, we must be even more careful. Now that His Majesty's southern expedition to the Shu Han has been spread, all the troops have not returned to Shu. In order to prevent the Huaxia Kingdom from taking advantage of the opportunity. We can only work harder. The Huns are coming in such a hurry. That person is probably Guo Jia. You can't underestimate him. Pass the order and order the soldiers guarding the gate to strengthen night guard and hand over the troops in four periods. This is the gateway of Wei State. If anything goes wrong, Qinzhou will not be protected. "
"No!" The young general's name was Yang Fu. Yishan, named Yishan, was a leader in Liangzhou in recent years. When he was discovered by Cao Ren, he promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant in charge of breaking the bandits, and served under his command.
In addition to Yang Fu, the Wei State has also recently promoted many young generals to make up for the lack of generals in the country. However, they are only appointed as generals and do not lead troops alone. They generally lead generals. Still Cao Cao's old department. Of course, except Zhang Xiu and Suo Xu.
After Cao Ren¡¯s order was conveyed, the whole city entered a state of intense preparation for war. All soldiers are on alert. In the past few years, Cao Ren's strictness in leading his troops has also been astonishing. The army implemented a system of sitting together. If one person retreats without fighting during a charge, the people in that person's group will all be severely punished, most importantly. Behead him on the spot, with a light punishment of a hundred.
In the marching formation. The same goes for iron discipline. The iron will allowed this army to achieve the title of Wei's first iron army.
After nightfall. Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Lin Yang, Guo Jia and others all led the troops out. The Kwantung Army's 30,000 troops marched forward. Zhou Cang, as the vanguard, took the lead, leading the way with 3,000 troops, responsible for cleaning the roads along the way. Gotta get snow.
Marching on such a windy and snowy night was quite difficult. The Kwantung Army's cavalry was relatively small. Among the thirty thousand troops, there were only two thousand cavalry. The reason was that the mountain roads were difficult to travel. Tongguan is only fifty or sixty miles away from Huayin. The Kwantung Army was fully energized and vowed to win this battle, so they did not feel tired. The forced march did not make people feel cold, on the contrary, it made people feel cold inside. warmth.
At that time, the Kwantung Army finally arrived at Huayin City after a long journey. Strictly speaking, Huayin is now a majestic pass. The city wall connects the north and south mountains and is built on the same road. The city wall is also built relatively high, six feet high, in order to prevent people from using ladders to climb up the city wall. As a result, if you want to conquer this place, you really need to use a specially made ladder.
However, when Xu Huang came this time, he did not bring any siege weapons. He only brought one thing, that is, each soldier carried one bag, which was enough to raze the entire Huayin City to the ground.
"Turn off the lights and let the soldiers patrol back and forth. Cao Ren is indeed on guard." Guo Jia took the binoculars and saw that the soldiers on the city wall of Huayin were heavily guarded and the patrol teams were also very close. He couldn't help but sigh.
After Xu Huang heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Taiwei, please take a look at the capabilities of our Kwantung Army."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huang moved his hand forward, and Lin Yang's two hundred soldiers got into the snow nest blocking the road ahead, crawling forward in the snow nest, squirming slowly in the snow, without causing any disturbance. Close the soldier's attention.
After seeing it, Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Xu, you are really the one to use this snow as a cover. I'm afraid Cao Ren is still sleeping at this moment, and when he breaks into the pass later, he still doesn't know what's going on!" "
While he was talking, a general appeared on the city wall. The man had a thick armor on his face and a steel helmet on his head. He was Cao Ren.
When Guo Jia and Xu Huang saw Cao Ren, they both looked at him.They looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Cao Ren hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Suddenly, Cao Ren turned his head and looked at Guan Xia, with a faint smile on his lips that no one could notice. After that, Cao Ren made a tour and then went down the city wall.
The people crawling in the snow continued to crawl forward. When they arrived at the city gate, they immediately placed the bags in their hands at the city gate, and then piled them up. When they were about to light them, the city gate suddenly opened, and Cao Ren He took the lead and rushed out with the soldiers carrying a big sword.
Two hundred Chinese soldiers were caught off guard and were killed by Cao Ren and others outside the city gate before they even drew their weapons.
Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others could only watch them being killed, but were unable to rescue them.
Blood dyed the snow red. Cao Ren asked the soldiers to bring the bodies of the two hundred Chinese soldiers and their bags back to the city. He looked into the darkness outside and shouted: "What other tricks do you have? Just use them." Come out, I, Cao Ren, am willing to learn everything!¡±
Cao Ren turned around and entered the city. The city gate was closed. At this time, all the Wei troops on the city tower were in full formation, and the archers and crossbowmen stood in the wind and snow, looking at the bottom of the city wall. Once something unexpected happens, he will immediately open his bow and shoot arrows.
Guo Jia, Xu Huang and others were all surprised. I didn't expect that if I came to sneak attack tonight, I would be plotted by Cao Ren.
¡°It was a mistake, it was a mistake¡¡± Guo Jia beat his chest angrily when he saw that the two hundred soldiers were gone like this.
"You don't have to be like this, Lieutenant. Cao Ren is not in vain. I will definitely avenge the dead soldiers. Since we can't sneak attack, we can only attack by force." Xu Huang's eyes were also full of anger. Although Huayin's wall was tall, , but no matter what. There is no way to withstand their strong attack this time. There are so many of them, and the entire Huayin must be razed to the ground today!
Guo Jia saw Xu Huang's anger. These soldiers were brought out by Xu Huang. He and Xu Huang got along day and night. He felt sympathy for them and watched them die in battle. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable.
"General Xu, if we attack by force, will there be too many casualties?" Guo Jia said worriedly.
"If we don't attack by force, how can we capture this great pass? Sir Taiwei, I will have full command here. Come on, send Sir Taiwei to rest in the back!" Xu Huang's face showed a trace of ferocity. It seemed that I have made up my mind. Got into trouble with Cao Ren.
Guo Jia stopped talking. He could deeply understand Xu Huang's mood. During this expedition, 30,000 troops came. If he retreated because his strategy did not work, it would be a waste of time. . When he saw two soldiers approaching, he said to Xu Huang: "Is it possible that General Xu looks down on me?"
"Why did Mr. Taiwei say this?"
"Then why does General Xu want me to go to the rear army? If I stay here, am I hindering General Xu?"
"Lord Taiwei, I'm worried about your safety if a war breaks out. Arrows don't have eyes. I'm afraid"
Didn¡¯t wait for Xu Huang to finish speaking. Guo Jia then pulled out the sword from his waist, stuck it on the ground, and said angrily: "Although I am not a general, and my strength cannot be compared with that of the soldiers, there is still something hot inside my body." Hot-blooded! I, a man from China, am not afraid of death. If I had only cared about my own life and death, I would not have been an undercover agent next to Lu Bu! I am not even afraid of Lu Bu, so why should Cao Ren be afraid?"
Guo Jia¡¯s impassioned speech really impressed Xu Huang. Although Guo Jia looked thin, he was a strong-willed man. At the same time, these remarks also heated up the soldiers around Xu Huang. For a moment, the soldiers all cheered up. Seeing that Guo Jia, as a Taiwei, a scribe was not willing to retreat from the front line, but still stood here and risked his own life. , then how could the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army retreat so easily!
Xu Huang saw the vitality and stopped sending Guo Jia to the rear. He turned to the soldiers and shouted: "Call General Zhou, General Liao, and General Lin over here."
The soldier said "promise" and went to deliver the order to Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and Lin Yang.
After a while, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang all arrived and came to Xu Huang and Guo Jia. They first paid homage to Guo Jia, and then saluted Xu Huang.
After the ceremony, Xu Huang said immediately: "You have also seen the scene just now. I decided to attack Huayin Pass and raze Huayin to the ground. This will let Cao Ren know how powerful our army is, and at the same time give the Wei army a disincentive."
Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang said in unison: "We all obey the general's orders!"
"Okay! This place is 600 steps away from Huayin City. The farthest range of the Wei army's bows and arrows is only 200 steps. But just in case, our army only advances 350 steps forward, and then moves forward with shield soldiers. Charge, each carrying a bag, and all gather under the city wall.?I put the bags together and came back, sprinkled gunpowder on the way back, and finally lit it. I don't believe that no matter how strong the city wall of Huayin is, it can survive. Xu Huang said angrily.
"I'll understand later!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang returned to their respective ministries. Zhou Cang, as the vanguard general, was the first to bear the brunt. He personally selected 500 shield soldiers, each carrying a pack, and lined up in a row to move forward and clear the snow along the way. , sweeping all the thick snow to both sides of the road.
In Huayin City, Cao Ren was still waiting by the city gate. He was very curious about the bag he had just seized. He chopped open a bag with his sword, revealing black powder on the ground, with a pungent smell.
Cao Ren covered his nose and asked, "What is this? What does the Chinese army do with these things?"
The soldiers around were also confused. They had never seen these things, let alone knew what they did. Seeing the neatly wrapped small package, which was not too big or too small, they all looked at each other for a while.
Cao Ren turned his head and asked, "Is there anyone left alive?"
The voice fell. Then two soldiers dragged a half-dead Chinese soldier to Cao Ren and said, "General Qi. This is the only one left, but it's not enough."
The man lying on the ground had his arm cut off, and blood flowed all over the floor, staining the doorway of the city gate red. From when he was dragged over to Cao Ren, a long blood mark was left along the way.
Cao Ren kicked the soldier with his foot and asked: "Tell me, what are you going to use these black things for? As long as you tell me, I will have people treat your injuries. I can protect you from death and give you extra strength." Isn't this what you want to do if you become a soldier and enjoy endless glory and wealth in Wei?"
The soldier smiled sarcastically, pointed to the bags piled up in one place, and said: "These are the tools we use for lighting. It is too dark at night to recognize them. As long as you light them with a torch, they will make a hissing sound." The sound will be heard, and then the surrounding area will be illuminated instantlycough coughif you don't believe it"
Cao Ren said doubtfully: "The Chinese army still has such good things? You are not lying, are you?"
"I'm going to die, why are you lying to me? Besides, I don't want to die either" As the soldier said, he started coughing non-stop and spit out some blood.
Cao Ren turned to the soldiers and shouted: "Bring a torch and light one to try!"
The soldiers of the Wei army came over and a soldier with a torch came over. When he came to Cao Ren, he said: "General, which one do you want to order?"
"Just" Cao Ren glanced around and pointed at the bag he opened. ¡°Just order this!¡±
"Yes, General."
At this time. Cao Ren glanced at the Chinese Army soldier again, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the soldier's expression. Fear was mixed with excitement, and excitement was mixed with a hint of deep heaviness. Seeing the soldier staring at the torch, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped: "Wait"
However, at the moment when Cao Ren shouted, the Wei soldier stopped, and the Huaxia soldier lying half-dead on the ground suddenly rushed over and bumped into the Wei soldier. The torch was knocked away and fell. On the pile of bags piled up, a chissing sound rang out. The soldier of the Chinese Army lay on the bag and laughed loudly, with great murderous intent in his eyes, and his face His expression was already ferocious.
"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor of China!" At the last moment, the soldier shouted the last voice.
"Disperse!" This scene made Cao Ren feel scared. There were too many secrets in the Huaxia Kingdom. A few years ago, that thing called the Sky Thunder Bomb could explode people alive. Maybe these things were the Sky Thunder Bomb. Cao Ren was startled and ran away, shouting at the same time.
As soon as Cao Reng ran out of the door, before the other soldiers could react, the bag at the city gate exploded immediately.
"Boom!"
A loud bang came from the city gate, followed by countless loud noises. The huge shock wave caused by the explosion spread in all directions. All the soldiers surrounding the city gate were blown to pieces and bloody. . Even Cao Ren, who ran out of the door, was blown away by the huge shock wave and fell heavily to the ground. There was a buzzing in his ears.
At the same time as the explosion spread, the soldiers standing on the city wall felt their feet shaking everywhere, as if an earthquake had occurred. However, a large hole was also blasted in the city gate, and even the city gate They were all blown to pieces. However, since they were not placed close to the base of the wall, but were gathered in the center of the door opening, they did not have much impact on the base of the city wall.
 "As soon as the explosion sounded, the Chinese troops outside the city were all shocked. They didn't know what happened inside the city gate. But when they heard so many explosions exploding inside the city gate, they were all very excited, because The city gates were blown open, and the trip was in vain.
Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others were excited when they saw that the city gate had been blown open, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Cang and others to speed up the snow clearing to open a smooth road for the army to attack Huayin.
At the city gate, Cao Ren got up from the ground and saw that the city gate was blown open. Yang Fu rushed over from the side and said hurriedly: "Quickly lead the troops to block the city gate. We must not let the Chinese army enter the city."
Yang Fudao: "Yes. General. However, the Chinese army has not launched an attack. Only a few people are clearing the snow outside the city. I am here to ask the general for instructions. Once the enemy enters the shooting range, should I shoot him?"
Cao Ren watched Yang Fu keep opening his mouth, but there was nothing but buzzing in his ears. He couldn't hear anything anymore. He was too close to the loud noise just now, and his hearing was damaged. He hurriedly shouted: "What the hell are you talking about? I can't hear it, please speak louder!"
Yang Fu was standing on the city wall. Although he heard the loud noise, the sound of the explosion was in the doorway of the city gate, and the hard city wall prevented part of the sound from spreading. So his ears were not affected too much. Seeing that Cao Ren couldn't hear what he was saying, he realized the seriousness of the matter and repeated what he had just said loudly against Cao Ren's ear.
"Why are you so fucking loud? You think I'm deaf, don't you?" Cao Ren pushed Yang Fu away because Yang Fu shouted too loudly, and the buzzing in Cao Ren's ears gradually became louder. disappear.
Cao Ren's hearing gradually returned to normal, but when he saw the mess in the city gate, he was completely dumbfounded. The huge power of the explosion just now made him feel a little scared when he thought about it. If everyone in the Chinese army really had such powerful weapons, then this war would be impossible to fight.
In a field battle, there might be some chance of winning. But in a city defense battle, as long as a general is thrown into the city, no matter how strong the city is, it will be razed to the ground.
There was thick blood everywhere in the city gate. Broken limbs could be seen everywhere. Intestines, brains, and blood were everywhere. If you were not used to seeing killings, you would probably retching when you saw this scene. Even people who are used to seeing killings have never seen such a messy scene.
Within the doorway of the city gate, there are more than two hundred living lives. Each one is a strong soldier, in front of such a small bag of things. So vulnerable, human life is so fragile!
Cao Ren quickly ordered his soldiers to block the city gate. For fear of the Chinese army launching an attack, he left Yang Fu here to clean up the stumps inside the city gate. He climbed onto the tower himself and looked at the movements of the Chinese army outside the city. He found that Zhou Cang and his men were clearing away the snow. Almost within range.
He shook his head, getting rid of all the unpleasantness just now, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Bring me the awl!"
The soldiers said "Promise", turned around and went down the tower. Not long after, groups of soldiers holding bundles of armored awls climbed onto the tower and dispersed the armored awls to the archers one after another. The archers put on their armored awls, drew their bows and arrows, and all of them were in high spirits.
Cao Ren also took a bow, drew it to full capacity, and then shot an arrow outward with an ordinary arrow. After the arrow flew out, it landed on a piece of snow. He visually measured the distance, which was about one hundred and eighty steps, and then shot the second arrow. The second arrow was shot with relatively little force, about one hundred steps. After he finished setting the arrows, he confidently said to the archers around him: "Let me see clearly, one hundred and eighty steps away, with ordinary arrows, each person is only allowed to shoot three arrows, one hundred steps away." Besides, if you change the armor, you must not let the Chinese army get closer to the city wall!"
"No!" Two thousand archers lined up on the city wall. Because Huayin City is not located in a dangerous area, there is a large open space in front of the city wall, but the advantage is that the city wall is stretched from north to south, which can block its roads. After several Years of gradual reinforcement made this place a great pass.
At this time, Cao Ren saw that the Chinese army began to float, advancing from a distance, and stopped about 250 steps away, forming a square battle formation. Looking at it, there were a lot of people. He frowned and ordered the mobilization of four thousand archers, standing in the second and third rows, preparing to use bows and arrows to stop the advance of the Chinese army.
In addition, Cao Ren also used heavy infantry to block the city gate, took out all the 100,000 armor-piercing awls stored in the weapons depot, and asked dedicated personnel to transport them.
After Cao Ren arranged everything, Zhou Cang's front had also arrived. At this time, Zhou Cang's front section had been replaced three times, clearing snow and clearing the way, but it was a laborious task, and the number of men increased from the original 500 to 2,000, and they began to move forward.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Outside the city, if you look at it from the air, it is shaped like a gourd. The mountain road to the east is narrow and cannot accommodate so many people side by side. But once you get out of the mountain road and arrive in front of Huayin City, there is a huge open space. , two thousand people can stand side by side. When Cao Ren built the pass, he wanted to move the city forward a certain distance.
But later, after repeated reflections, we considered strengthening the original city. The reason was that the Wei State had no money at that time and could not build a new city, and building a new city also required a lot of manpower and material resources. However, it was gradually strengthened later, making Huayin like a Great Wall running east to west. Nothing happened in the past few years.
At this time, the men led by Zhou Cang were advancing forward. When they advanced about 180 steps, arrows were shot from the city wall. Zhou Cang and others held their shields and continued to move forward as if nothing was wrong. Because they were holding steel shields, it was easy to block the iron arrows.
The Wei army also stopped after some shooting, and Zhou Cang and others advanced boldly. After a while, Zhou Cang and others came to a distance of a hundred steps from the city wall.
At this time, Cao Ren took out the armor-piercing awl, filled his bow and arrows, and shouted at Zhou Cang and others below the city wall: "Take another step closer and we will kill you without mercy!"
Zhou Cang and others ignored him and continued to work hard.
Cao Ren showed a sinister smile on his face and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
After giving the order, arrows fell like rain. At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and there was light snow in the sky, but nothing could withstand the rain of arrows from the Wei army officers and soldiers.
As soon as the arrow was released, the armor-piercing cone immediately exerted its astonishing power. Within a hundred steps, it penetrated the shield made of thin steel of the Chinese army. At the moment of penetrating the shield, the arrow's arrowhead It immediately penetrated into the bodies of the Chinese soldiers holding shields.
"Wow¡¡"
This burst of arrows was extremely fierce. Although the Chinese army had shields made of steel, they could not withstand the sharpness of the penetrating cones. The penetrating awl was sharp at this moment. While penetrating the shield, it also shot into the human body. After the wave of arrows were fired, none of Zhou Cang and others were uninjured. Some were even hit in vital parts and died on the spot.
Zhou Cang and others were very frightened. How could the Huaxia Kingdom, which always prides itself on its sharp weapons and hard armor, be injured by the enemy's arrows? The shield was only made of thin steel, and perhaps it was imbued with great divine power under the sharp arrows, which had a chance of being penetrated.
But behind the shield, every soldier of the Chinese Army wears a piece of steel armor. The several-inch-thick steel plate can completely protect the chest and back. But this time, the steel plate was completely penetrated, and the armor-piercing awl continuously shot through the shield and steel armor, invading the human body. This is such an incredible thing for the Chinese army. The enemy actually has such sharp arrows. , can you not surprise them?
Zhou Cang was also injured. The arrow shot through his shield and penetrated his steel armor. However, perhaps because of the weak arm strength of the archer, although the arrow penetrated the steel armor, it had become the end of a strong crossbow and was embedded in Inside the steel armor, Zhou Cang's belly was only scratched.
He pulled out the arrow and looked at it in his hand. The arrow was in the shape of a rhombus and the arrow was extremely sharp. It looked extremely cold in the black clothes. He touched it with his hand to test how sharp it was. , who knew that as soon as he touched the arrow, his finger was scratched.
At this time, the second wave of arrows rained down from the sky. The Chinese soldiers held up their shields to cover themselves as usual, but this time, they turned their bodies sideways to avoid being hurt by the arrows again.
