Chapter 330 The Siege of the Lords
Under the Hu prison, countless corpses of allied soldiers were piled up, but the sound of the war drums in the allied forces was still ringing. Some soldiers just looked back carefully and continued to go to the Hu prison. The row of knives behind him was specially prepared by Yuan Shao for the deserters.
Jia Rong pointed to a well in the middle with his hand. The ten-bed crossbow was immediately aligned, and the crossbowman was responsible for adjusting the direction.
After installing the crossbow, the crossbowman looked at Jia Rong quietly, waiting for the final order, and the squeaking winch sounded, so that the four soldiers could control a bed crossbow.
With Jia Rong's order, ten crossbows went to the well.
These bed crossbows are the sharp weapons originally equipped to defend the city in the Hu prison. The bed crossbows are huge. Although the accuracy is not high, they don't need to aim at the allied soldiers under the gate.
The crossbows went to the well with the momentum of Wanjun. Six of the ten crossbow arrows tilted to other places and fell into the middle of the allied soldiers, causing a wailing.
The crossbow arrow shot from the crossbow in the bed is comparable to the thickness and length of the long gun in the soldier's hand. The crossbow arrow containing the power of several bows can easily take the lives of several soldiers.
Four crossbows hit the well. Under the powerful impact of the crossbow, the well squeaked and twisted a few times. In the end, it did not stand the test and collapsed, and the huge crossbow directly broke the well.
The soldiers on the wellanches shouted in horror. When the top soldiers fell to the ground, they were already unknown. The wells were about ten meters high. When they fell, they fell down. They were crowded and trampled by the soldiers who rushed behind, and it was difficult to survive even if they did not die.
The end of the manhole in the middle naturally did not escape the eyes of the other soldiers on the well, and stared at the movement on the tiger prison with a pale face. Unexpectedly, the advantage of the well had become the enemy's attack target. The crossbows comparable to long guns easily penetrated through the three soldiers. This is still the situation of soldiers wearing armor.
Yuan Shao said with a heavy face, "I didn't expect that there was such a sharp weapon to defend the city in the Hu prison."
Cao Cao, who was beside him, said, "Don't worry about the alliance leader. The Han Dynasty has been living for a long time. Although there are heavy crossbows in the Tiger Prison Pass, it has not been used for a long time. I'm afraid that a few arrow bows and strings will be broken. At that time, the army will attack the Tiger Prison Pass. As soon as it rushes up, the Tiger Prison can be closed."
Some princes looked embarrassed. The defenders of Hulao guan were so strong that countless soldiers were lost after the strong attack. However, Cao Cao's words were also reasonable, and it was difficult for the princes to refute.
Jia Rong pointed his hand to a relatively forward well again, and the closed crossbow immediately turned the crossbow head. After several measures, the crossbowman nodded one after another, and the huge crossbow was also installed into the bed crossbow.
The squeaky sound sounded again. Although the well manhole pointed to by Jia Rong was not strong, it was not much better. Under the powerful impact of the crossbow, the soldiers on the well kept looking down for fear that the well would collapse, and the timid soldiers began to climb down the ladder.
As Cao Cao expected, after knocking down three wells, the ten bed crossbows sacrificed six, the bows and strings broke, and the remaining four could not be used because of such problems.
Jingluan slowly came to the gate. With the suppression of Jingluan, the allied soldiers under the gate gradually climbed up the wall and began to connect with the defenders on the gate.
None of the Xiliang Army and Dong Jun, as well as the last annexed soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, were easy people. Before the soldiers rushed up, they were killed by the garrison, and the ladders were pushed down and screamed a few times.
The fighting and shouts of the soldiers who closed it were endless.
Among all the generals defending the city, Li Shun is the most leisurely. They are infantry. In terms of step-by-step cooperation, they are unparalleled in the world and are not afraid of small allied soldiers at all.
There was a rain of arrows on the well, and the defenders could not avoid it. About a dozen people who were hit by the arrows, howled in pain.
Although the slowly moving wells were threatened by closing the crossbows all the time, there were still seven manholes tenaciously survived and began to fight against the soldiers on the tiger prison.
The arrows of the soldiers who shot at the well fell to the ground weakly. The distance from the tiger prison was just outside the range of the bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow soldiers on the well could threaten the defenders on the tiger prison.
Jia Rong's eyes are bursting with fire. With these seven wells, the advantage of the number of the Allies will be greatly exerted. The soldiers at the gate only have to avoid the soldiers on the wells, and they will also take care of the soldiers who attack the city.
When the allied soldiers stood firm on the gate, it was the end of the garrison. After all, there were 100,000 people in the allied army, and there were only more than 10,000 defenders in the city. The short soldiers took advantage of each other.
The well was not satisfied with the effect of just suppressing. It slowly leaned against the wall. There were about more than 700 soldiers on the well and killed the wall together. In a short period of time, the soldiers behind took the opportunity to go up.
Lv Bu took the bow and arrow handed over by the soldier, pulled the arrow and then shot the arrow. The whole process was completed in one go, and the arrow pointed straight to the archer on the well.
At this time, the archer on the well was looking at the guard who was busy dealing with it with a pale face. A sense of danger hit his heart and saw an arrow coming straight at him, and he had even seen the cluster of arrows.
With a "sneep", the arrow shot through the soldier's throat, and the tail of the arrow kept trembling.
The soldiers on the well were shocked. They didn't expect that there was such an archer in the garrison. They put away their contempt and paid attention to the movement on the gate. However, whenever the arrows on the gate were fired, they lowered their heads to dodge. The infantry on the well were not injured. The outside of the well were wrapped in raw cowhide, and the arrows fell weakly.
"Go and call General Lu!" Jia Rong said in a low and calm voice.
A moment later, Lv Bu, led by the messenger, came to Jia Rong and bowed and said, "See you, General!"
Jia Rong went straight into the theme and said, "Feng Xian, you lead a thousand cavalry to rush down the customs and break through all these wells."
Lv Bu hugged his fist and was about to leave. Jia Rong stopped and said, "You ask Li Shun for a little oil and set fire to these wells."
Lv Bu left in a hurry after the order.
No matter how powerful the well is, it is just wooden. Only the ashes are burned by a fire. The cavalry of the Xiliang Army has been in the limelight recently. When the allied forces saw the arrival of the cavalry, it was too late to avoid it.
The door of the Hu prison gate creaked open. Under the stunned eyes of the siege soldiers, more than a thousand cavalrymen filed out and went straight to the well.
The siege soldiers are all infantry. Seeing the arrival of the cavalry, they scattered and fled. The power of the Xiliang cavalry has penetrated into the hearts of all the allied soldiers a few days ago.
The soldier in charge of waiting and watching immediately spread the news to the Chinese army where Yuan Shao was. Yuan Shao was shocked. The 18-way princes' coalition seemed to be vast, but the equipment for attacking the city was not as much as expected. These ten wells were the biggest support of the princes, and they were still captured along the way. Made in a tight time.
"Send 2,000 soldiers to protect the wells." Yuan Shao said hurriedly.
Lv Bu led a thousand cavalry, and the troops were divided into two roads, pointing to two wells respectively.
The soldiers on the well were concentrate on shooting arrows. How did they see this change? The soldiers at the top panicked and retreated to the bottom of the well. If they fell at such a height, it would be difficult to live without death.
The infantry of the coalition disintegrated in an instant under the strong impact of the cavalry. Under Lv Bu's order, dozens of jars of oil were smashed on the well, and the oil splashed all over the ground.
Several cavalrymen threw the already prepared torches on the well. The well was already dry. After drenched with oil, a raging fire was ignited in an instant. It was impossible for the soldiers on the well to retreat and shouted in vain.
Lv Bu did not look back and led the cavalry to continue to set off to the next well.
At the end of the battle, the cavalry led by Lv Bu was more and more resistant. Five or six hundred soldiers guarded a well. In the face of this situation, Lv Bu had to lock the target to the next one.
After Lv Bu made such a scene on the battlefield, the soldiers on the well were not in the mood to attack. They shot numbly one arrow after another, but the afterglow of the corners of his eyes never left the cavalry on the battlefield.
In the vassal army, the soldiers in front of the battle slowly walked away, and the rumble of the cavalry came. Hundreds of cavalry were all dressed in white war horses with a solemn expression.
One of the generals held a long hand and waved it, and 2,000 cavalrymen behind him went to the battlefield.
Two thousand cavalry rushed up, and their voices were completely shocked. The soldiers who closed it couldn't help looking at them.
Lv Bu led the army to destroy the four wells. He saw that the princes sent cavalry and withdrew their troops back.
The siege soldiers intended to follow Lv Bu to attack the city. The stones were like rain, and the princes' soldiers were blocked outside the gate.
Gongsun Zan sneered and said, "What a Xiliang Army, but this, Bai Mayi is unparalleled from all over the world. If you meet him on the battlefield in the future, you will definitely kill him."
The 2,000 cavalrymen behind him roared and were powerful.
The wells of the Allied soldiers were destroyed, and their morale immediately fell. Without the cover of the wells, the soldiers who kept climbing became moving live targets one by one. The masonry stones and crossbows kept taking the lives of the soldiers.
All the allied soldiers who climbed to the gate were wiped out when Lv Bu attacked the well.
After the three wells approached the tiger prison, the soldiers on the wells desperately killed the gate. The distance from the well to the gate became a fatal road. The crossbow arrows were unavoidable. Fortunately, the soldiers who came to the gate greeted them were bright knives and guns.
To a certain extent, the three wells put a lot of pressure on the defenders at the gate. Hundreds rushed to the gate together. Even if the defenders were killed, it would take some time. During this period, some allied soldiers climbed the wall, and the battle was approaching the white-hot stage.
The soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, Dong Zhuo Army, the Xiliang Army, the North and the South Army. The soldiers of these armies have experienced a lot of battles. They are easy to deal with such unorganized and undisciplined allied soldiers. The allied forces seem to be powerful, and there are only a few people who can climb the city wall. Some allied soldiers even keep wandering under the gate, but they dare not climb up the ladder.
After listening to the war situation reported by the soldiers, Yuan Shao of the Chinese army sighed and stopped the army. Today's battle of attack came to an end.
Seeing the Allied soldiers retreat and making a shocking roar, many soldiers hugged each other excitedly. The Allies invested 30,000 troops at a time. It's strange to say that they are not afraid. If the Allied wells continue to show off their power, I'm afraid that the Tiger Prison will really be captured.
