Chapter 473 Wind and Rain Shake 8

Guo Jia understands the reason why the Xiliang army has become the target of the crusade of the princes in the world. Even if the assassination of Emperor of the Han and Jia Rong has nothing to do with it, there will be such a day. The Xiliang army is too strong enough to make all the princes scared. Xianbei has troubled the Han people for decades. Once it was completely defeated by the Xiliang army, and then it is located in the grass. Originally, in the face of these armies, they have no confidence, and the generals below will collapse without fighting, but after gathering, they have the confidence and enough confidence to fight against the Xiliang army. Such confidence looks so ridiculous.

After the eradication of the two western armies or making the Western Liang army unable to pose a threat to the princes, these princes fought with each other and competed for the sovereignty of the world. The Han Emperor had been a puppet for many years, and there was no appeal to the ministers. Even if the emperor was elected again, it was just an empty head. Even a figure like Yuan Shu could To be the emperor, what's more, the princes holding the powerful soldiers in their hands. On the day when they have enough strength in their hands, honest courtiers will also split the earth and seal the king.

"Gentlemen, the princes outside the customs have been unmoving. I guess there is some conspiracy. According to the detective's report, the vassals often hear the sound of knocking, as if the craftsmen are building things." Guo Jiadao, the intelligence network of the Xiliang Army can be said to be extremely powerful, but as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao must have some means. The place where the craftsman builds a Thunderbolt car is the forbidden place in the army. If you want to fish in the muddy water, you still need certain means to achieve it.

Hua Xiong shouted, "If you come, kill one, and if you come, kill a pair. With such a strong pass, don't worry about the princes of the Central Plains attacking."

Guo Wei stared at Hua Xiong and said, "Hanggu Pass is the biggest support for Chang'an. Losing this checkpoint means that the princes will be under Chang'an City, and our army is in danger. At the critical moment, we must raise our spirit, especially the generals who guard the customs. Once you find someone who is lazy, the military law will never be tolerated."

"No!" Everyone held the boxing together.

Hua Xiong's respect for Guo Yan is getting bigger and bigger, but it is still much worse than Jia Rong. The person he first admired was Jia Rong, the man who could knock him down, and then Guo Wei gave him the strategy of defending the city. His good friend for many years is also the current subordinate. Hua Xiong is very cooperative with Guo Wei.

In response to the behavior of the princes outside the customs, the method taken by the defenders is not to move. As long as the Hangu is guarded, Chang'an is safe, and the soldiers of the princes will never be able to fly over with wings.

Wooden boulders and other defensive materials have been transported to the gate to deal with coalition attacks at any time.

In the big account of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao looked excited. The Thunderbolt car really lived up to its reputation. Although the stone thrown was not big, it was unexpected and unimaginable. A stone with a basin suddenly fell to the sky, collecting not only the life of the defenders, but also their self-confidence. Under such an offensive, the defense I'm afraid that the rise of the army is the problem. At that time, as soon as the allied soldiers rush up, Hangu Pass will be broken even if it has the name of the world's majestic Pass.

"Eat without a fight!" This word suddenly flashed in Yuan Shao's mind.

"Tomorrow, the three armies will attack Hangu Pass!" Yuan Shao ordered.

Compared with a few days ago, the gloomy faces of all the princes have turned into smiling faces. With such magical objects as Thunderbolt in their hands, Hangu Pass can be captured no matter how strong it is.

The next day, the joint military camp, which had been closed for a long time, slowly opened, and the banner fluttered, but it was Yuan Shao who personally commanded the three armies to attack the key. He wanted to witness with his own eyes how the Xiliang army fled under the power of the Thunderbolt.

Guo Jia, who was on the gate, frowned when she heard the reward of the watchmen. The princes attacked the city. Yuan Shao personally went out, and he was huddled in the camp for several days. All kinds of deeds showed that the vassals were brewing a huge conspiracy, which may be fatal to the Xiliang army at the customs, even if there was a crossbow car in his hand. You can't slack off with a sharp weapon.

"General, be careful of the vassals outside the city. I'm afraid there is something wrong this time." Guo Jia persuaded.

Guo Yan nodded heavily. He was not a fool. Naturally, he saw the strangeness of the princes' army and said secretly, "Even if there are any tricks, how can he break it under such a dangerous level?" After Chang'an has cement, the first reinforcement is the Hangu Pass. As an important barrier for the princes to attack Chang'an, the strength of the city wall is not comparable to the past. In this era, it is definitely a copper wall and iron wall. As long as there is enough food and fodder, even if the princes have a million troops, they can't attack it.

The rumble of the drums sounded, and the allied forces invested 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city. The dense ladders, the slowly driving wells, the brave and straight charging soldiers, and the rushing cars seemed to be no different from the past. It was completely let the soldiers at the bottom die. The cement-built wall was extremely smooth, not the inland. The cities of the county can be compared.

It seems that they want to give a wake-up call to the vassals outside the customs. The first thing that greeted the attacking soldiers was a burst of dense crossbows, which directly caused the death of nearly a thousand soldiers. The vassals and soldiers are not stupid pigs. Standing there and let you shoot arrows. When they see the crossbows flying, they will also dodge, especially with the lessons of the previous car, they will close them. The crossbows came and dodged one after another, raising the shield that had already been prepared in his hand.

The wooden shield is difficult to have an effect to a certain extent. Under the great power of the crossbow, it breaks directly, but the power of the crossbow is also weakened.

In the face of such an achievement, Guo Yan's face smiled. Nearly a thousand siege soldiers died at a time, and the remaining soldiers will no longer have the morale of siege. In the face of death, not everyone has the courage to move forward.

The war drums of the princes' army were still ringing, and 3,000 soldiers rushed to the battlefield. The princes didn't seem to pay attention to such losses. Yuan Shao, who was in the middle army, looked calm. Unfortunately, Guo Jia could not see it, otherwise there would be another conjecture.

The dense rain of arrows and rolling gutter boulders are constantly harvesting the lives of the allied soldiers. There are blood stains all over the wall, and broken arms and limbs can be seen everywhere under the city.

In the face of the princes' army's attack without fear of death, Guo Jia's eyebrows have never been stretched. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The princes will not make such fearless sacrifices. Losing so many soldiers in a row must be a huge blow to the morale of the coalition.

With the sound of drums, 5,000 soldiers appeared again in the princes' army. These soldiers, dressed in armor and holding shields, were obviously the elite of this attack.

Guo Yan sneered and said, "With this kind of soldier, it's ridiculous to be delusional."

Guo Jia said, "General, what kind of siege weapon is in the vassal army? I haven't seen it before."

Among the 5,000 soldiers, there are unknown weapons, all of which are made of simple wood.

Guo Yan said carelessly, "Military, please rest assured that these soldiers want to attack the Hangu Pass, just like a fantasy. Let them see the power of the crossbow again later." After the siege just now, Guo Yan's vigilance was reduced a lot.

After entering the range of the crossbow, Guo Wei gave an order and the crossbow arrows were released.

The soldier hurriedly raised the shield in his hand, intending to stop it, but the galloping crossbow can not be blocked by this shield. The person who touches it will die and will be scratched. There are constantly princes soldiers who are brought far away by the strong impact. The protection of armor reduces the damage of the crossbow to a certain extent. A crossbow arrow causes two The death of famous soldiers is the limit, and it is difficult to have the previous situation, but these soldiers still protect the strange things in the middle, as if their lives are not worrying compared with these things.

A round of crossbows caused the death of nearly 1,000 soldiers. Yuan Shao of the Chinese army showed an expectant look. He really wanted to see the invincible situation of the Thunderbolt car under the Hangu Pass.

The wooden strange weapon quickly approached Hangu Pass. With an order, a soldier put a basin-sized stone on the wooden siege weapon.

Pieces of stones mixed with whistling sound went towards the gate. The huge momentum shocked the Xiliang army at the gate. They didn't know what kind of weapon it was. They could throw stones from under the city to the city. In cognition, it seemed that only the defenders could have the right to throw stones at the attacking side.

Seeing this, Guo Jia didn't say well and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dodge.

Xiliangjun was well trained. After a short period of surprise, he hurriedly found a place to hide.

After a burst of stone rain, Guo Yan's face turned dark in an instant. Many crossbow cars in the city had fallen off. Whether they could be used was still a big problem. Not only that, many soldiers had no time to avoid it. They were injured and died by stones, and they were in a mess everywhere.

However, the princes also paid a little price for this. After all, these Thunderbolt vehicles did not have a clear calibration, and it was difficult to be accurate. Some of the soldiers who attacked the city were hit by flying stones. In front of choosing to destroy the opponent's crossbow car, the princes ignored the death of the soldiers at the bottom.

The princes do not pity their lives, and the soldiers also know how to protect themselves and retreat one after another. No matter how the generals shout, it has no effect. There is an enemy in front, and the friendly army in the rear also fire on themselves. It's okay not to fight such a battle.

The retreating soldiers had a certain impact on the princes' offensive. Taking this opportunity, Guo Wei hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dodge.

This is also the intention of the coalition army, who are responsible for the crossbow car and a fierce attack on the Thunderbolt car. Can these wooden things withstand the destruction? At this time, it was just when the crossbow car was launched that the princes were given a chance. The 500 crossbow cars that were closed actually lost nearly 100, which was an unprecedented loss.

"Good!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed and shouted loudly. The faces of the princes also showed excitement, and the unhappiness he had encountered before disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the war drums was more violent, and the soldiers moved forward bravely. Now they have such a sharp weapon to attack the city. Don't worry that the level can't be broken. The front and back groups of soldiers bumped into each other, and their feet were in chaos. They trampled on each other. They don't know how much the casualties were.

Yuan Shao's excited face was a little ugly by the sudden changes. Taking advantage of the current good situation, he will definitely be able to achieve a good record.
