The sound of countless arrows piercing the air came from high places, and then penetrated sharply into the shields of the Chinese soldiers. The arrows passed through the shields and continued to fly forward. The force did not decrease, and some of them shot straight at the target. Some of them shot into the arm of the person holding the shield, one arrow shot through the entire arm, and some of them penetrated directly into the human body
"Wow¡¡"
Screams kept coming, and Zhou Cang's arm was shot through. The arrow penetrated the forearm of his left arm. He didn't shout, and he didn't dare to pull it out easily. He saw his subordinates shooting at two waves of arrows. Most of Yanage's troops were killed, and he immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The remaining more than 800 injured soldiers ran back, but the Wei army's arrows continued to fire. This time, ordinary arrows were used to attack the defeated army from behind. The range of the arrows It was also far away. Some people were hit by arrows in their legs, arms, and some even in their necks. There were more than 800 people, and only about 200 people actually escaped.
Once out of the shooting range, Zhou Cang and others seemed to be exhausted and fell to the ground one after another. Zhou Cang was hit by two arrows in his legs. He ran back in pain. If he had been slower, he would have been shot. I was afraid that my life would be lost. He turned over and felt very sad when he saw the scattered fallen subordinates in front of him.
At this time, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang all gathered around. Seeing that Zhou Cang and others were all injured, and the injuries were still very serious, Xu Huang immediately shouted: "Military doctor! Military doctor! Call the military doctor quickly. !¡±
Zhou Cang handed Xu Huang a feather arrow he was holding tightly in his hand, and said bitterly: "General Xu, the Wei army has weapons, and we are all injured by these arrows"
A group of military doctors immediately rushed over from behind, and with the help of soldiers, they carried the injured people to a temporary place in the back. Be prepared to heal.
Xu Huang took the arrow and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of anger. He said bitterly: "Cao Ren, I, Xu Gong, have sworn to take your dog's head. I will pay homage to the soldiers who were shot by you!"
Guo Jia frowned. It was incredible to see that the arrow was so sharp and could penetrate steel armor. He glanced at Cao Ren on the wall and saw that their faces were full of joy, so he said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, it seems that Cao Ren has been prepared for a long time. The Wei State has also developed in recent years, and after integrating with the Qiang people, its military strength Da Zeng, it seems that this arrow was specially developed by the Wei army to deal with us. Such a sharp thing can actually penetrate our armor, so our defensive armor is just like a decoration in front of the enemy. It won't have any effect at all. Stop the charge for now and let me think of a way to overcome this level with the least casualties."
Xu Huang saw that he couldn't fight hard. He had no choice but to nod, turned around and went to comfort the injured soldiers, asking Liao Hua to lead the troops to retrieve the bodies that could be brought back.
The city wall of Huayin City. Cao Ren was pleased with his heart. He held the armor-penetrating awl tightly and shouted to his subordinates: "The Chinese army is just relying on the advantages of armor. Now that we have weapons to deal with the Chinese army, don't worry anymore. Everyone." Give me some energy, as long as the Chinese army is not allowed to get close to the city wall, our army will be invincible!"
On the Huayin City, the Wei army was waiting in strict formation. The new weapon, the armor-piercing cone, shows its divine power, leaving the Chinese army with lingering fears.
Outside Huayin City. Xu Huang, the chief general of the Kwantung Army of China, was groping for the penetrating armor awl and saw that the penetrating armor awl had a triangular shape. It was extremely sharp, and even at night, it felt cold.
"Bring me my big bow!" Xu Huang didn't believe this evil, so he asked someone to fetch his big bow, ready to test the power of the armor-piercing cone himself.
The men presented Xu Huang's big bow. Xu Huang ordered his people to place a shield and a pair of steel armor a hundred steps away, plug in a torch, and he filled the bow with arrows and put on a penetrating awl. There was only a sound of strings, and the armor-penetrating awl flew out, shooting towards the shield and steel armor a hundred steps away.
With this arrow, Xu Huang used all his strength. He wanted to see how powerful this so-called penetrating awl could be, and it actually beat his soldiers like losing dogs.
"Whoosh!"
With an arrow shot out, the armor-piercing awl flew directly a hundred steps away, and hit the shield and armor. The sharp edges of the armor-piercing awl penetrated the shield made of thin steel, and then pierced into the shield and armor. The shields were about ten centimeters apart from the steel armor, and the arrow penetrated the steel armor, leaving a few inches exposed.
Xu Huang has the art of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, but as everyone knows, Xu Huang is not showing off his archery skills, but testing the power of the penetrating armor cone.
Not long after, a soldier a hundred steps away ran over with a shield and armor, and handed the things into Xu Huang's hands. Xu Huang frowned after looking at them. Because the penetrating armor awl completely penetrated the shield, and then penetrated the front steel plate of the steel armor.?The arrow is still exposed for a few inches.
"I never expected that Wei's weapons would be so sharp" Guo Jia sighed after looking at it.
"Although the penetrating awl is sharp, its whole body is made of fine steel and is heavy to hold. Even if it is shot with a bow, it cannot be used by an archer without certain arm strength. It seems that Cao Ren has indeed trained an archer who is good at archery. "Xu Huang turned his head and glanced at the archers in Huayin City. Under the light of the lights, the archers were all strong and strong, and everyone's eyes were so deep and full of murderous intent.
"Take another armor-piercing awl, use a double shield, and a pair of armor, and still place them a hundred steps away. Leave some gaps between the shields to increase the resistance of the arrows." Xu Huang snapped. said.
"No!"
Later, Xu Huang used the armor-piercing awls he collected to demonstrate to varying degrees. When two shields were put together and a pair of armor was placed behind him, although the armor-piercing awls passed through the two shields, However, it was not completely penetrated. The back of the arrow was embedded between the two shields, and only a sharp arrow was exposed.
Later, Xu Huang conducted experiments to varying degrees at eighty, fifty, and twenty steps, and found that the armor-penetrating awl was most powerful at fifty steps, piercing two shields in a row, and could also shoot into steel. Within the armor, and at twenty steps, due to the distance and the disappearance of his arm strength, the power of the armor-penetrating cone also gradually disappeared a little.
However, Xu Huang knew that this was his personal reason. He specially called a sharp archer in the army and asked him to shoot arrows for him. He stood twenty steps away and shot three arrows in a row.
result. The three arrows were extremely powerful, and they all passed through the first shield. The arrow tail remained on the second shield, and the arrow pierced into the steel armor, revealing a sharp arrow.
After Xu Huang looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his frown slowly relaxed.
Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that this was Xu Huang's idea, so he asked, "Does General Xu have any countermeasures?"
Xu Huang nodded and said confidently: "Cao Ren has a good plan. I have a wall ladder, and I will win this battle!"
Guo Jia watched Xu Huang struggle a lot, and roughly understood what Xu Huang wanted to do, so he remained silent and just smiled and said to Xu Huang: "The general's clever plan will surely capture Huayin Pass."
Xu Huang smiled, and then ordered his soldiers to go to the mountains on both sides to cut down trees. It happened that the rear army had nothing to do, and it was really cold to stand in such ice and snow. Find some work to do, and you can also warm yourself up.
After Xu Huang gave the order, the more than 20,000 Kwantung Army stopped attacking. Except for the two thousand soldiers who stayed at the front, all the others went up the mountain to cut down trees.
Cao Ren saw it clearly at Huayin Pass. Seeing that Xu Huang was not in a hurry to attack. After losing his troops, he actually did not attack and instead asked the soldiers to chop down trees. He murmured in his heart: "Does Xu Huang want to camp here for the long term?" Intend?"
After thinking for a while, Cao Ren ordered: "The whole army is on alert. As soon as there is any movement, beat the war drums immediately. Instruct the rear army to start lighting fires for cooking. The troops take turns to eat."
As a result, the two armies temporarily stopped fighting. The Chinese army had a great time chopping down trees on both sides of the mountain road, while Cao Ren stepped up repairs to the city gate and blocked the city gate with a square of huge rocks. The city gate was blown to pieces and within a short time Inside, it is impossible to build a new one, and the only way to temporarily resist it is to use stones.
At dawn time, the Chinese army was already in full swing. The trees on both sides of the mountain road had been cut down and all the trees were piled together. Then, the Chinese army began to tie the trees together with the only ropes. Several people carried a big tree and tied the shields to the trees with ropes. There was a shield in front and another shield behind.
And, cut all the trees to the same length, find similar trees and bundle them together, with shields next to shields.
As the saying goes, when everyone adds firewood, the flames rise. More than 20,000 people do one thing at the same time, so neatly and quickly, a giant battle shield surrounded by steel is quickly formed. This was not enough. The Chinese army did not have nails, so they had to use steel guns instead. The steel was nailed into the shield, and the other end was inserted into the long wooden stake. In this way, the soldiers could lift the wooden stake behind it. Pile, push the battle shield in front.
By half an hour, everyone was already exhausted. Xu Huang went out in a hurry this time. The rear army did not bring trees, pots, pans or other things, only dry food. However, in such a cold day, after sweating profusely, once the sweat is dried and the cold wind blows, it is easy to catch a cold. So Xu Huang asked the soldiers to take off their helmets one after another, set up piles of bonfires, put some clean snow into the helmets, and put the helmets on the bonfires. The snow melted into water. Although the helmets were not burned, But it was heated up. Under the constant baking of the fire, the water became hotter and hotter.??The hotter.
At the same time, Xu Huang spent a lot of money and had a thousand war horses killed on the spot, and then the horses' blood was drained and distributed to the soldiers to drink. Horse blood is hot, so drinking it will naturally increase the warmth. Afterwards, they began to cut the horse meat and roast it on the bonfire. In this way, the soldiers of the Chinese army enjoyed their hardships, first drinking horse blood, then eating horse meat, and then drinking half-boiled warm water.
After a delicious meal, it was already past noon. Everyone buried their helmets in the snow. After the temperature of the helmets dropped, they put them on their heads. Not to mention, as soon as I put it on, I felt warm. After the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they began to organize their formation and pushed all the giant battle shields that were one foot high and three feet wide that they had made in the morning to the front. The giant battle shields were arranged side by side, looking like Like a newly built wall. There are bundled shields on the outside, each one attached to the log in the middle, and behind it, there are also shields one after another. At this time, the snow had already stopped, and the sun was shining on the earth with its weak light. The sun was gradually moving to the west, and Xu Huang and others were pushing the giant battle shield forward. The sunlight shone on the battle shields composed of bright shields. , reflecting a lot of light.
At this time, the Chinese army was hiding behind the battle shield and advancing in waves. Xu Huang and Guo Jia were riding horses, surrounded by cavalry. Climbing up to a bare, felled high ground, I watched the soldiers rush forward.
At this time, the war drums were beating on the wall of Huayin Pass. The Wei army stationed in the city all night. In the freezing weather, I was always paying attention to the movements of the Chinese army, but in the middle of the night. Although they had a full meal, they still could not withstand the severe cold, and the Chinese army had no intention of attacking the city, so Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest, and each of them slept for two hours.
At this time, Cao Ren was resting in the government office. Suddenly he heard the sound of war drums and immediately jumped up from the bed reflexively. He didn't take off his armor when sleeping, so he took his weapon from the bedside, took out his helmet, put on his combat boots, and ran towards the city gate.
When Cao Ren came to the city gate and climbed up the tower, he peered down and watched the movements of the Chinese army. He was immediately dumbfounded. The bright things pushed by the Chinese army seemed to be bronze mirrors, reflecting everything on the city wall. Plus there's the reflection of sunlight. It was so painful that they couldn't even open their eyes. Some soldiers had just crawled out of bed and had not yet woken up, and there was sunlight reflecting on them. If your eyes feel sore, rub your eyes vigorously or cover them with your arms.
Cao Ren saw this thing that was one foot tall and was moving forward step by step. His eyes were hurt and he hurriedly asked: "What is this?"
Yang Fu replied: "General, it is a large shield made of the Chinese army's shield, and the reflection is the Chinese army's shield. It seems that they are desperate. Come up with such an idea!"
Cao Ren said: "The armor-piercing awl is indestructible and can penetrate any armor. These shields are nothing but trivial skills. Pass the order. The whole army is on alert. As long as you get within a hundred steps, shoot me with the armor-piercing awl!"
"No!"
What Cao Ren said was absolutely correct. The armor-piercing cone made by Wei Jun was indeed indestructible. After Cao Cao surrendered the countries in the Western Regions, he brought back a technology for manufacturing armor from the Western Regions. In order to manufacture high-quality weapons, he personally monitored the testing process. If the bow and arrow could not penetrate the armor, he would kill the person who made the bow and arrow. On the contrary Then kill the armorer. Such perverted techniques greatly stimulated the sophistication of Wei's weaponry, and this penetrating armor cone was one of its products.
"Every army is ready!" Yang Fu shouted loudly, and the archers on the city began to draw their bows and arrows, but their eyes were blocked.
"Fire the arrow!" When Yang Fu saw the Chinese army pushing the huge war shield and driving within a hundred steps, he immediately shouted out.
For a moment, arrows rained down, and the armor-piercing awls penetrated the huge shield of the Chinese army one after another, sinking in completely. However, it was limited to this. When the armor-piercing awls penetrated the first layer of the shield, they penetrated the shield. The wooden pile at the back received a layer of resistance, and then penetrated the wooden pile. Although the arrow shot into a shield at the back, the entire arrow body was embedded in the log. The arrow indicated penetration. The second layer of shield was removed, revealing just a sharp point.
When the Chinese soldiers hiding under the giant shield saw it, they all smiled. Seeing that the penetrating awl did not penetrate, their smiles immediately turned into anger, ready to avenge the brothers who died last night.
At this time, Liao Hua was playing forward, followed by Lin Yang. Liao Hua hid behind the giant shield with everyone while continuing to move forward.
This is an open area. The Chinese army is hiding behind the giant shield. There are two thousand people in a row. Although the advance is a bit slow, at least there are no casualties.
If you push forward further, there will be some resistance because the front is thickThe snow had not been cleared within a hundred steps, so two thousand people pushed the giant shield together, allowing arrows to shoot out from the city wall, but there was no casualty under the giant shield.
Cao Ren and others only saw the reflection, and their own figures were reflected on the bright mirror. The archers shot randomly. After seeing the figures, they felt as if they were shooting at themselves, and they couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
After firing three waves of arrows in succession, the giant shield under the city was still moving forward. They could not see how many people were under the giant shield and how many people were injured. Everything was unknown.
Cao Ren couldn't control that much anymore. He believed that his armor-piercing awl was indestructible, so he ordered to shoot one after another. The three rows of archers on the city took turns to shoot. The weapons were transported from the arsenal. Due to their preparation and tacit cooperation, the archers did not suffer any broken arrows.
However, densely packed arrows were shot out, and the giant shield crawling like a turtle was getting closer and closer to the city wall. After a series of continuous shooting, the archer's arm strength also declined, no matter how sharp the penetrating awl was. At this time, he also showed fatigue, because the tail of the penetrating cone was already visible on the giant shield, and his strength could no longer be compared with before.
Cao Ren was furious. Then he shouted loudly: "Bring up the giant ballista!"
After receiving the order, Yang Fu immediately took people to ask for the hundred giant ballistas stored in the weapons depot to be carried up the city wall. Then they set it up one after another and loaded it with an arrow made of fine steel that was half a foot long. Although it was small, within a distance of fifty steps, its lethality was far more powerful than that of a penetrating cone.
"General, everything is ready!" Yang Fu reported.
Cao Ren pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at the giant shield of the Chinese army that was moving slowly in front, and shouted loudly: "As long as the enemy comes within fifty steps, launch immediately!"
"No!"
At this time, Liao Hua and the other two thousand people at the front of the team continued to move forward, pushing the giant shield forward slowly like a snow plow.
However, after pushing for about twenty steps, everyone was out of breath from exhaustion, because it might be easier if the snow could be pushed to both sides, but if pushed forward, the distance of 80 steps ahead would be covered with snow. It takes a lot of effort to push it to the base of the city wall.
The giant shield temporarily stopped for Liao Hua and the others. Not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Cao Ren saw the Chinese army stopped on the city wall. He thought it was the armor-piercing awl that had worked, so he laughed loudly and asked people to shoot with the armor-piercing awl vigorously.
After shooting another wave of arrows, Yang Fu came to Cao Ren and said: "General, the archers are already a little tired. If we continue, I am afraid that we will not be able to do what we do. I suggest you let the archers rest temporarily." , as soon as the Chinese army moves, they will attack immediately."
Cao Ren looked at the archers around him. They all looked very tired, and said, "Okay, let them all stop and rest. If the enemy moves, I move. If the enemy doesn't move, I will rest."
"No!"
So, on the wall of Huayin City, the Wei troops stopped shooting and rested against the wall. Archery is a physical activity. Two or three arrows may not be a big deal and will not have any impact on your physical strength. But if you shoot more than ten times in a row, the problem will become apparent. A person's arm strength is limited. Under continuous powerful shooting, the strength in the hand will be relatively reduced, and the power of the arrows shot will also be reduced.
Xu Huang and Guo Jia stood on the high hill and looked at the battlefield ahead with binoculars. They could see the hard work of the forward soldiers most clearly. Therefore, Liao Hua and others did not blame them for temporarily stopping.
At this time, Xu Huang saw a crossbow cart set up on the city tower. After watching it carefully, he shouted: "No, the crossbow arrows on the Wei army's crossbow cart are too large. If they are fired at a short distance, If it does, it will definitely cause damage to the giant shield."
Guo Jia also looked over and said: "We have reached this point and it is impossible to retreat. If we don't capture the city today, reinforcements from the Wei army will continue to arrive. If it is delayed, I am afraid that we will not be able to launch a quick attack. On New Year's Day We can't push it to Chang'an City until we are thirty. This year, we must make life difficult for the Wei army!"
"Today is already twenty-nine. After capturing Huayin, will it be a bit too hard to go deep alone in such bad weather by forcing hundreds of miles to Chang'an in one day?" Xu Huang said worriedly.
"If Cao Ren is defeated, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack several cities in a row. The rear of the Wei army is empty and there are no troops to mobilize. The key lies in the distance from Huayin to Ba Shang. Even if it cannot advance to the Chang'an City, it must reach Ba Shang. Go up, then station troops there, guard the main roads, and mobilize reinforcements from behind. Even if this is the case, the Wei army will not be able to live in peace," Guo Jia said.
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Xu Huang nodded and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, and the Taiwei is well versed in the art of war, but I am too timid."
Subsequently, Xu Huang sent someone to convey an order to the former army to be careful of the ballistas in the city. He said to Guo Jia: "Sir Taiwei, now, I will hand over the command to you. I will use these only one thousand cavalry to capture Huayin City."
Seeing that Xu Huang was determined, Guo Jia nodded and said: "General Xu, don't worry, the Kwantung Army is coordinated. Even if there is no one to command, this battle will be fought. This battle will be the time when the Kwantung Army becomes famous." , General Xu will definitely obtain a great achievement."
Xu Huang smiled, cupped his fists and said, "Xu will say goodbye first."
"With that said, Xu Huang led a thousand cavalrymen down the hillside and came to the center of the mountain road. The soldiers made way for a road, and the cavalry drove out of the mountain road. Come to an open space and stop.
At this time, Xu Huang's order had been conveyed to the front army, and Liao Hua knew it. Then he said to his soldiers: "Such an all-out advance will cause great resistance. It is better to divide into two teams, break through from the middle, sweep the snow to both sides, use giant shields to form a semicircle, and camp step by step to clear a path for the cavalry team of the general. ¡±
Everyone agreed, so after a short rest, they started working again. This time split in two. By sweeping left and right, a central road was vacated, which seemed to be getting twice the result with half the effort.
Arrows rained down from the city wall, but they did not cause much harm to the Chinese army. Behind the giant shield, there was no need to do anything. For a time, the cleaning action became much faster.
When Liao Hua and others approached within fifty steps, suddenly a hundred huge crossbow arrows were shot down from the city wall, and the crossbow arrows came fiercely. Far more powerful than the armor-piercing cone, an arrow shot past and pierced the giant shield. The giant shield shook, and the crossbow arrow penetrated directly through the giant shield, extending forward for more than a foot. A soldier was working close to the giant shield, and was directly shot into the body from the buttocks by the crossbow arrow, which was sharp. The crossbow arrow penetrated the body. The soldier's buttocks were not armored and were the weakest part of the human body. The soldier screamed. He kept moaning, but others saw it. There was nothing he could do, and a crossbow arrow that looked like the handle of a gun was inserted into his body. If it were pulled out, I'm afraid the soldier would die on the spot.
Coincidentally, a hundred such crossbow arrows injured a hundred soldiers who were clearing the snow, and for a while, they screamed again and again.
On the city wall, Cao Ren was extremely excited when he heard the screams. Knowing that the crossbow arrows from the giant ballista had worked, he shouted: "Quick! Keep shooting with the giant ballista and kill them hard! Archers Stand ready, and if you see the enemy showing up, shoot them!"
"No!"
The defending Wei army also became energetic, and the soldiers operating the giant ballistae also fired forward as if they were dying. However, the operation of the giant ballistae was cumbersome, and there was a long time interval after shooting. Even so, the Wei army also seemed to be going crazy. Gotta shoot.
Liao Hua and others were damaged one after another and did not dare to get too close. However, when someone showed his head, there was a shower of arrows on the wall.
"Damn! You're going to risk it all. We all work together to keep pushing forward. I have to use all my strength to feed myself. I don't believe it. We still can't clear this path." Liao Hua yelled and hugged him. He grabbed the log that could push the giant shield forward, exerted force, and rushed forward.
At this moment, the soldiers were all inspired, and they all worked together, shouting slogans, and pushing forward, letting arrows fly from the city wall without paying attention. Their mission was to clean the hundred steps. The snow accumulation is now half done. If you give up easily, you will only give up halfway.
Xu Huang saw the damage to the front army from behind, and said secretly in his heart: "I will ask the Wei army for the damage you suffered today."
Afterwards, Xu Huang ordered his subordinates: "The whole army is ready!"
At this time, Liao Hua and others continued to advance forward despite the rain of arrows. Soldiers were attacked by armor-piercing cones and giant crossbow arrows, and some people continued to lose their lives. However, no soldier ever complained, and they still pushed the giant shield forward with all their strength and pushed it to the bottom of the city. After advancing about twenty steps, Liao Hua shouted loudly: "The time has come to counterattack, throw them all out!"
Following Liao Hua¡¯s order, some soldiers began to use flints to light the fuses of the bags, and then threw them vigorously toward the city gate. Immediately afterwards, there were successive explosions at the city gate. Seeing this, the Wei soldiers blocking the city gate all retreated for fear of being blown to death. The boulders half a man high that they had piled up were also blown up. It was torn apart, and the entire city gate was in an unsightly state.
A soldier of the Huaxia Army had just raised a lit bag, and as soon as his hand was exposed, a penetrating awl immediately shot through his wrist. As soon as he let go of his hand, the bag immediately fell next to him.
"Scatteredopen! The soldier who had been shot through the wrist saw this and screamed.
But now there were constant explosions. Except for a few people around him, no one else could hear his shouts at all. Seeing that the bag was about to explode, he gritted his teeth and threw himself directly towards the bag. He pressed the bag with his body and shouted loudly: "Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor of China!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was only a loud "boom" sound, and the bag exploded, directly blowing the man into pieces, and his limbs flew everywhere. But because he pressed the bag tightly with his body, the power of the explosion was greatly reduced and no one else was hurt. It's just that his blood was splashed everywhere.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were all filled with indignation.
"Brother! Brother" Among the soldiers, a soldier saw people who had been torn apart by the bomb. He shouted loudly and found a stump of a limb on the ground. Want to cry but no tears.
Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, snatched all the bags from the soldiers around him, looked at the bags wrapped around him randomly, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes of hatred, he held the fire zipper in his hand, and bit it fiercely. Molars, opening a gap. Then he rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Give my brother his life!"
Now there were only a dozen steps left. The soldiers adopted a suicidal attack method, crawling on the thick snow. Arrows rained down from the city wall, and sharp armor-piercing awls were fired like a blanket. come over. The soldier was hit by dozens of arrows and was covered in blood, staining the snow around him red, but he still crawled forward tenaciously. Just as they were about to reach the city gate, huge crossbow arrows were shot directly towards the city. It penetrated his whole body and nailed him to the snow nest. The man was unwilling and looked like he was only a few steps away from the city gate. He used up the last bit of strength in his body, lit the circle of bags, and threw it towards the city gate with all his strength.
This one was still dozens of steps away, and was thrown directly to the place where the Wei troops gathered at the city gate. When the Wei troops saw this, they were all frightened and ran away. At this moment, a series of loud "boom" sounds were heard in the city. spread through the door. The soldier saw the scene of Wei soldiers being blown away, and a smile appeared on his mouth. He finally avenged his eldest brother and died immediately afterwards.
After other soldiers of the Chinese Army saw it. They were all deeply moved and shouted one after another, and then several more soldiers, all covered in bags, rushed towards the city gate desperately,
"Shoot them to death! Don't let them get close to the city gate! Block it! Block it!" On the city wall, Cao Ren had obviously seen the power of the Chinese army and was already panicking, pointing at the soldiers who committed suicide and attacked. shouted loudly to the archers.
After he shouted, the archers went to shoot the scattered Chinese soldiers, which relieved the pressure on Liao Hua and others.
Liao Hua looked at his tragic scene and shouted loudly: "It's the last ten steps, go for it!"
Of the two thousand vanguard troops, there were less than a thousand left at this time. The way they came was covered with blood and corpses were everywhere. For these one hundred steps, the Chinese army paid a heavy price.
After the vanguard army heard Liao Hua's cry, they pushed forward hard, and the pressure on their heads was relieved a lot, pushing the snow twice in the last ten steps. As soon as they approached the city gate, Liao Hua and others drew their weapons one after another. After dozens of explosions were heard from the city gate, they immediately rushed in from the city gate and picked up the weapons carried by the soldiers who had been shot down from the ground. Bao, continue to rush towards the city gate.
At this moment, the second echelon of the Chinese Army led by Lin Yang was about to arrive at the city gate. What they were holding was no longer a crossbow, but a repeating crossbow. Taking advantage of the chaos at the city gate, they attacked the city wall. The Wei army fired indiscriminately. The cavalry team led by Xu Huang also set out from behind. When they arrived, the giant shields blocking the intersection in front gave way to a path. Xu Huang galloped away with a sky-shattering ax in his hand and a horse.
The handle of the sky-shattering ax was made of pure steel, and the large ax was made of pure gold. It was extremely thick and extremely luxurious. It was gifted to him by Lin Nan himself.
Huayin City has already been in chaos. The Chinese army broke through the city gate. The Chinese army's crossbows outside the city kept firing. It was really a pincer attack.
"General, the city gate is lost, we should retreat quickly. There are still more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city, enough to compete with the enemy again." Yang Fu saw this and hurriedly clasped his fists.
Cao Ren was extremely regretful. Cao Wei had been seeking the advantage of military strength for many years. Unexpectedly, under the strong attack of the Chinese army today, he could not hold out for less than an afternoon before the city gate was breached. The weapons of the Chinese army were also too advanced. As long as they It will explode at a touch and cannot be reached by human life.
When Cao Ren saw the Chinese army inside and outside the city, he looked up to the sky and roared, crying and said: "This is not a crime of war, but it is actually the crime of the Huaxia Kingdom. Your Majesty, once the Huayin gate is opened, I am afraid that Qinzhou willLive up to everything"
"Escort the general to leave here quickly, go to the inner city, and guard the Wengcheng!" Yang Fu hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to be taken away, while he stayed and commanded more than 5,000 archers on the city wall to continue to block the Chinese army and contain the Chinese army. military.
"Yang Fu! We must return to Wengcheng alive!" Cao Ren shouted when he saw Yang Fu volunteering to stay in command.
Yang Fu smiled at Cao Ren, picked up a big bow, drew the bowstring to full length, and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
This Wei army is an iron army trained by Cao Ren himself, with strict discipline. Although Huaxia has the upper hand, these people are never afraid. At first, I was worried about the Chinese army, but now hand-to-hand fighting has begun at the city gate, and the use of the army is gone. The three thousand soldiers gathered at the city gate tried their best to resist. Liao Hua led his men into the city, but was forced by the Wei army again. come out.
The armor of the Wei army is very outstanding. The weapons in their hands are extremely sharp, and the armor on their bodies is also extremely hard. It is comparable to the steel armor of the Chinese army. The competition now is not the armor, but courage and force. This is a real fight.
Outside the city, Lin Yang and others kept shooting arrows at the city wall. The crossbow arrows hit the armor, but failed to penetrate. This surprised the Chinese army. However, the Chinese army's repeating crossbows were more accurate. Since they could not penetrate the armor, they were designed to shoot at the foreheads of the Wei army soldiers. Therefore, under the volley of thousands of arrows, the archers on the city wall suffered a big loss even though they were condescending. Bright and dark, after a series of exchanges of fire, the archers of the Wei army on the city wall were shot through the head one after another, and all of them died. In a short time, less than half of the more than 5,000 archers were left.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Huang led the cavalry team and finally arrived, shouting at Lin Yang and others first.
Lin Yang and others heard the cry and hurriedly moved out of the way.
When Yang Fu saw Xu Huang personally leading his troops, he hurriedly raised his bow and arrow, fired an arrow at Xu Huang, and shouted, "Take my arrow!"
Xu Huang was well prepared. He swung the sky-shattering ax first. The golden ax directly cut off the armor-piercing awl. At the same time, he took off a large bow tied under the saddle.

Yang Fu was shocked when he saw this. He never expected that Xu Huang had such skills. He couldn't dodge and was shot in the head by an arrow. He mounted it directly on the gatepost behind him on the tower and nailed it there with an arrow. He died immediately, his eyes full of horror.
Xu Huang put away his big bow, sneered, and cursed: "I've insulted the villain and hurt people with hidden arrows. I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
While speaking, Xu Huang's thousand cavalry rushed to the city gate despite the rain of arrows. At this time, Liao Hua and others were fighting bloody battles. Liao Hua led the remaining 500 people and were completely suppressed by the Wei army. They were unable to do anything and could only retreat.
"General Liao, please get out of the way quickly!" Xu Huang frowned when he saw this, because he saw that the weapons of Liao Hua and others could not hurt the Wei army's armor, and he immediately understood that his army had lost With the advantage of Bingjia, what follows will be an out-and-out bloody battle!
Liao Hua was in the midst of a bitter battle when he suddenly heard Xu Huang's loud shout. He immediately felt happy and hurriedly ordered: "Disperse!" (To be continued)
