Chapter 25 Dragon and Tiger will explore the enemy at night
The area of 100 meters by 20 meters. Under the normal circumstances of the two people, it can be easily completed between one breaths, and the destroyed sharp piles are instantly turned into nothing, instead of the scene in front of them: the two can only cut off the spike piles.
The sharp stake fell to the ground and made some soft noises. Fortunately, the wind is not small tonight. The colorful flags on the more than ten-meter-high wall were blown by the wind. Such a sound melted the sound of sharp stakes falling to the ground at the root of the wall.
When the scouts behind him explored the front position, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun had already opened up six 300 meters by 20 meters of empty areas in the dense sharp pile array in front of the root of the city wall. These six open areas are kilometers apart from each other.
Waiting for the scouts behind them to return to the safe area, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun retreated to the safe area, that is, 200 meters away from the root of the city wall. The two stabilized their bodies in the safe area and casually inserted the treasure gun on the ground beside them, and then the two pulled out the two stone iron tire bow and carved arrows from behind.
The two were ready to look at each other at a distance of 50 meters. Then the two shouted at the same time. The voice of the super generals in the innate realm was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and their drink floated far away with the night wind.
The Xiliang soldiers on the city wall heard the sound and looked at the source of the sound. Tragically, their heads just poked out of the arrows, and the eagles were inserted between their eyebrows or throats. The carved arrow seems to be a life-threatening charm from hell.
"Enemy attack!" Enemy attack!" ... The frightened voices of the Xiliang soldiers came one after another on the wall. The companion's body fell on the aisle of the city wall, and the sound of warning gongs was abruptly remembered in the middle of the night. The soldiers who had rested half squinted and crawled to their posts.
After a while, the stone thrower and the crossbow were full of soldiers. They started the stone throwing machine and the bed crossbow in a hurry. The sound of "whoo" was the sound of 20 catties of stone breaking the air; the sound of "whoo" was that the bed crossbow launched a carved arrow. In this way, a dark cloud rolled down from the wall to the open place under the wall.
Tai Shici and Zhao Yun just want to experience the power of stone throwing machine and bed crossbow. After shooting 100 Xiliang soldiers, the two have retreated to 300 meters away from the city wall. This distance can ensure that the archers with intermediate martial arts skills of the other party cannot hurt themselves, and they can shoot the enemy.
Of course, when attacking the enemy with bows and arrows, Taishici deliberately hid his shadowless archery. In this way, he did not intend to deceive Zhao Yun, but to leave a chance for himself. The rules of the world: one more secret for himself is one more chance to survive.
At this distance, because the stones thrown by the thrower are the trajectory of parabola, the dense stones can only cross their heads and hit the 500-meter open space behind them. For them, the stone thrower is only dangerous on the surface, but in fact, it is not lethal at all.
The rows of carved arrows are different. The crossbow on the wall was condescending, and the carved arrows it fired came in a straight line. Facing the rows of roaring carved arrows, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun instantly put away their bows and arrows, picked up the treasure gun around them and faced them calmly.
The two of them swung a round spear and arranged a gun curtain in front of them. It was not unexpected for the two of them: the furious carved arrow shot through the gun curtain like a broken tofu and shot straight at the body of the two people.
The two of them can only fly a carved arrow with a treasure gun. The flying carved arrow collides with the oncoming eagle arrow in an instant, and Mars splashes everywhere.
At this time, the archers of Xiliang shot arrows with a stone iron tire bow from the wall. These arrows are dense, but their maximum effective distance is only 200 meters. These arrows are like a swarm of locusts. The "woo" sound is very loud, and they lose their motivation to move forward at a hundred meters away from Tai Shici and Zhao Yun. Like the body of a locust falling to the ground.
What is really dangerous to the two people is the carved arrows launched by the crossbow. Receiving the power of the carved arrows, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun used their unique skills to retreat calmly. The virtual shadows of the two remained in place, and their real bodies had appeared by the moat.
At this time, the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall were unskilledly manipulating stone throwing machines and bed crossbows. From then on, the soldiers of Xiliang did not rest until the siege the next day.
The wall of Chang'an City is like a hot pot of ants, and all kinds of attacks on the wall are aimless and orderless. When they saw that there was no enemy under the wall, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun had led a hundred and ten scouts back to the barracks.
Late at night, Gongsun Zun's tent was still brightly lit. Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and two scout captains walked into the camp. At this time, Gongsun Zan was talking intimately with foreign guests.
Tai Shici took a close look. The outside guests were all acquaintances: Liu Bei and Liu Xuande knelt down at the top of the VIP table, standing behind him stood Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
After everyone's greetings, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to leave the Chinese military camp. After all, it is really inconvenient for Liu Bei and others to participate in the military affairs meeting of Gongsun Zant, which has been separated from the power of Gongsun Zant.
Liu Bei's side escorted grain and fodder to the camp of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan today. When Liu Bei heard that Gongsun Zan's side was going to launch a siege tomorrow, he took the initiative to visit him to see if he might provide necessary help. After all, the two are classmates. After all, Gongsun Zong once took care of himself. With the kindness of people dripping water, it will definitely be reciproous. In reason, Liu Bei can't stand by and watch.
After a heart-to-heart conversation between Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, he felt that Liu Bei had a two-day rest, so he promised Liu Bei to let his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei participate in the siege.
According to Tai Shici's careful observation, he found that Zhao Yun's expression showed sincere respect for Liu Bei. That sincere feeling showed that without the existence of Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun would not hesitate to change his position and follow Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun's sincere emotion makes Tai Shici feel a little sad: if he has a helper like Zhao Yun around him, his career will be more smooth and immeasurable in the future...
Zhao Yun's attitude towards Liu Bei also made Taishi Cixin have "evil thoughts": try to keep Zhao Yun in Youzhou in the future. Even if Gongsun Zan disappears, Zhao Yun will not be separated from Youzhou and not let Liu Bei have such a fierce general.
In Taishici's concept: Zhao Yun's character is as outstanding as Gao Shun, who is trapped in the camp. They love soldiers like children, strictly govern the army, and retreat. Of course, at present, Zhao Yun's personal ability is much higher than that of Gao Shun.
Martial arts can be improved, and the realm of martial arts can be improved, but character is difficult to cultivate.
After Liu Bei and his party left, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun reported to Gongsun Zan on the situation of exploring the front position. After listening to the detailed report of the two, Gongsun Zant fell into meditation.
After a while, Gongsun Zan frowned slightly and whispered, "As you said, 300 to 500 meters from the city wall is the most dangerous area. In this range, the carved arrows fired by the bed crossbow are strong enough to shoot through ordinary shields... In this way, we need to adjust the formation of attack..."
Tai Shici took a look at Zhao Yun, and then bowed his hand to Gongsun Zan and said, "Jihou, the lethality of the bed crossbow is fierce, beyond ordinary imagination, but the bed crossbow also has fatal weaknesses: for example, due to the shooting angle, the actual coverage of the bed crossbow is not 800 meters, but 200 meters to 80 meters away from the root of the city wall. 0 meters, 200 meters near the root of the city wall is the blind area of the bed crossbow shooting; and the stone thrower can adjust the attack distance at will. Because the trajectory of the stone is a parabolic, only when the stone falls to the ground, the lethality is formed... Jihou, the lethality of the bed crossbow is unusual, but its accuracy is not enough..."
While listening to Tai Shici's remarks, Gongsun Zan nodded with approval. At this time, Zhao Yun, who has always been unspeakable, also interrupted: "Jihou, tomorrow's attack is the first siege of the allied forces. As long as we can destroy the traps and organs outside Chang'an City and consume the enemy's military strength at the same time, it will be a great achievement! If an attack can be completely won, why does the allied forces have to wait a month before attacking the city?"
Zhao Yun's words touched Gongsun Zan's deep worries. As the commander of the army, Gongsun Zan must consider it comprehensively. He believes that Tai Shici's remarks focus on "points" and details; while Zhao Yun's words focus on "face" and the overall situation.
The general's thinking generally focuses on how to win on the battlefield, while the commander should consider how to exchange the least casualties for greater victory.
Especially in * combat, the so-called allies are still scheme. These Gongsun Zan knew it well: Yuan Shao and Man Gao were eager for Gongsun Zan's side to be greatly damaged in the siege battle, and it was better to be defeated by the whole army... In fact, he also imagined that Man Gao and Yuan Shao in his heart.
Although you are in a dangerous environment, the superficial article still needs to be done. After exchanging opinions with other confidants, Gongsun Zan began to arrange the specific task and attack formation to attack the city: Gongsun Zan had a total of 30,000 soldiers on his side. Gongsun Zan himself led 4,000 Youzhou soldiers to attack the gate of Chang'an City. Tai Shici and Zhao Yun each led 5,000 soldiers to attack from the second wings of Gongsun Zan. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu respectively He led 5,000 Youzhou soldiers to attack from the edge of the two sides. The other 6,000 soldiers are mobile troops, supporting and rescuing all fronts at any time.
In such an attack formation, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun are the focus, and Gongsun Zan and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only play a role in containment.
At dawn the next day, 30,000 Youzhou soldiers had already finished breakfast in advance. According to the prior arrangement, 30,000 soldiers gathered in the open area at the gate of the camp: the five attack formations are 500 meters apart, and the main generals are located at the front.
Gongsun Zan's team is different from the other four teams: Gongsun Zan is dressed in silver armor and stands at the front end of the team with a black iron halberd. Behind him are thousands of soldiers holding shoulder-high shields. Behind the shield array is the rushing array, and behind the rushing array is a giant simple horse pushed by hundreds of people. There are 16 wheels on both sides of the giant carriage, and the carriage is loaded with giant logs 30 meters long and 5 meters in diameter. Obviously, this giant log is used to hit the gate.
The staffing configuration of the team on the second side of Gongsun Zan is exactly the same: the main general stands quietly at the front end, behind which is the shield array, and behind the shield array is the rushing array. The rushing car is four meters long, two meters wide and ten centimeters thick, and behind the rushing array is the archer's battalion.
At this time, Yuan Shao and Man Gao stood on the local high platform and watched the formation of the Youzhou Army. Although the two had no verbal communication, the occasional collision eyes were full of happiness and secret happiness. They just waited for a good play to see how Gongsun Zan, who had always been arrogant, attacked...
At this time, more than a dozen pontoon bridges have been placed on the moat, each of which is ten meters wide. Under the pontoon bridge, the river is sparkling and shining with golden light.
