Chapter 472 Wind and Rain 7

At the end, due to the angle problem, the power of the crossbow car has been discounted a lot. If it is on the flat ground, the crossbow car will take the lives of more soldiers.

In the face of such a sharp weapon, the allied soldiers who were attacking were a little dizzy. They looked at each other and trembled all over. They were thinking about retreating. If it hadn't been for the sharp axes behind them, I'm afraid they would have retreated.

Yuan Shao's face was a little pale, and he said, "What kind of weapon is this?" Nearly 2,000 soldiers who attacked the city were killed in an instant, which made him a little confused. The siege soldiers fell down like cutting wheat, which was shocking.

"This is probably the crossbow car of the Xiliang Army. It is said that it can launch six crossbows at a time, which is not as powerful as the bed crossbow, and the number is more." Cao Cao explained.

"What a crossbow car has such power. Let's not attack today and let the soldiers withdraw." Yuan Shaodao.

Cao Cao hurriedly advised, "I'm afraid this statement is not appropriate. Today is the first battle of our army. If it is a tiger's head and a snake's tail, it will have a great impact on the heart of the army. Although the crossbow car is powerful, it will take a long time to get on the string, and it will not let the soldiers attack."

Another 5,000 soldiers threw themselves into the battlefield. The soldiers in front of them were unavoidable. They only clenched the weapons in their hands with pale faces and climbed up the ladder.

The hot manure oil had been boiled, and a ladle was poured down. The soldiers without armor to guard made a sad cry under the oil and manure. One after another, the attacking soldiers looked at each other in con'spect.

The boulder is so lethal that the princes and soldiers can stand it, but suddenly there are so many tragic screams on the battlefield, which makes them a little at a loss. After experiencing so many battles, it is the first time that they have suffered such injuries.

Seeing that the string of the crossbow had been put on, Guo Wei did not hesitate to order the launch again, and his face couldn't help but feel a little pain. The cost of these crossbows was expensive, and it was a lot of money at a time.

The crossbows that made the allied soldiers look pale appeared over them again. At this moment, they even forgot to shout and forget to attack. They could only watch the crossbows shoot through their bodies, and then go backwards with themselves. The huge impact made them suddenly feel how small they were.

10,000 soldiers were invested before and after, but only 5,000 people came back, and the loss was not great.

Yuan Shao's face has always been gloomy since the beginning of the attack. In the past, when he attacked the city, he had never encountered such a scene. The tenacious resistance can be said to be the first time in his life. He thought that the soldiers were elite. Even if he could not capture the Hangu Pass at one time, he could still take a heavy damage to the defenders. Unexpectedly, the soldiers basically did not fight head-on with the defenders. He ended up with hatred, and fell down before he could even touch the enemy's clothes.

What gave Yuan Shao a headache was that the soldiers who were injured under the oil and feces shouted, and even he was a little scared when he heard it. Under such circumstances, he didn't talk about attack.

"Gentlemen, the Xiliang army on the gate has a crossbow car. It is difficult for our army to win in a hurry. I don't know what a good strategy is?" Yuan Shaodao.

In today's siege, all the princes were on the scene, and they were surprisingly silent on the ground. Under the power of the crossbow car, it is not to mention ordinary soldiers. They saw with their own eyes that a general who supervised the battle on the battlefield was shot through by a man and a horse.

"Wenyou, you used to be in Bingzhou, can you have this kind of crossbow car in your hand?" Yuan Shao stared at Li Rudao with burning eyes.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Li Ru. They were surprised by the power of the crossbow car. They were extremely eager to get such a weapon. With the ability of their craftsmen, they would be able to make a crossbow car. Thinking of the invincible situation when the troops were equipped with such weapons, it was difficult to hide their desire in everyone's eyes. Such a weapon was enough to change. Change the victory or defeat of a war.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "It looks like a crossbow car. The control of the Xiliang Army is quite strict. It has appeared in Bingzhou and Yanmenguan before, but after that, they are all pulled back to Chang'an. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach at all."

Cao Cao said slowly, "In fact, this kind of crossbow car is not without a way to crack it."

Yuan Shao said urgently, "Can Meng De have a good strategy?"

"Our army got the method of making a Thunderbolt car a few days ago, which can throw huge stones on the wall. As long as you secretly make such a Thunderbolt car, you will definitely be able to give the defenders a heavy blow and crack the other party's crossbow car." Cao Cao said that up to now, Cao Cao also said the secret among the generals. The Thunderbolt is a newly developed weapon developed by Cao's army.

"A Thunderbolt? Throwing stones from the bottom of the city to the city?" The people in the account failed to react in a short time.

"Brother Meng De has a very good plan. He summons the craftsmen to make it day and night. He must give a heavy blow to the defenders and completely destroy their crossbow carts." Yuan Shao stroked his palm and laughed.

No matter what weapon Cao Cao said, as long as he could suppress the defenders in the city, it was a good weapon. The princes laughed one after another, as if they had seen the Xiliang army stunned by the huge stones falling from the sky.

It is also selfish for Yuan Shao to summon the craftsmen to seize the time to make it. After the production, the Thunderbolt car will no longer be a secret. The depletion that has just lost thousands of soldiers has been swept away. It is also worth the loss of 10,000 soldiers to get a powerful weapon. If the soldiers are gone, they can be used again, and the weapons are lagging behind in the war. The field is passive everywhere.

After a siege of the city, the princes outside the customs did not move. They seemed to be hit by huge losses and no longer attacked the city. The gate of the camp was closed, and from time to time, the sound of soldiers shouted.

Guo Jia is not as simple as the general Guan thought. The princes outside the customs gathered the elite soldiers of the whole world and will certainly not give up easily. Yuan Shao and others believe that they know better than him that the longer the war is, the more unfavorable it will be for the princes' army. After all, they have more than 300,000 people, while the Xiliang army is only tens of thousands of them.

In Jiangxia City, with the protection of lone wolf soldiers, Jia Rong's safety has increased by many levels, and Jia Xu has also exerted a lot of strength. A thousand lone wolf soldiers have protected Jia Rong's safety, which is absolutely a great deal.

Now the princes knock on the customs. If they know that Jia Rong is in Jingzhou, they will definitely set off a stormy wave. Maybe the princes turn around and encircle and suppress it. Jia Rong is really too important to the Xiliang Army. Not only the officials and generals of the Xiliang Army know it, but also the princes of the world also know it.

In an extremely comfortable room in the city, Jia Rong lay contentedly ** and let Mi Huan serve him. There was nothing he could do. Jia Rong's limbs can't move now, and he is at the level of an old man. The care of a beautiful woman with such a national beauty as Mi Huan is even more comfortable.

"Huan'er, do you know my identity?" Jia Rong suddenly asked.

Mi Huan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Rong, as long as you can follow you, even if you are a robber, it doesn't matter."

"Huan'er, Bingxue is as smart as you. Do you also think I'm a chivalrous hero who has killed countless people in the world? Why do you want to be a general?" Jia Rong laughed.

"What is Mr. Rong?" Mi Huan said in doubt.

"Your eldest brother is Xuzhou. Don't drive. Why are you so respectful to me? It's all because of my identity. Otherwise, how can a Jianghu and powerful person have such treatment? Not to mention your eldest brother, even Tao Qian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao and others know me, will be surprised." Jia Rong said slowly.

At this time, Mi Huan also remembered Jia Rong's appearance of being afraid of taking care of him when he was in Mi's mansion. Thinking about it, he found that Jia Rong's identity was really different. If he was really a person who walked in the world, the eldest brother would not do that.

"To tell you the truth, I am the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army and the general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, not a self-aptained general who walks in the world." Jia Rong said solemnly.

Since he has opened his heart to Mihuan, he no longer wants to hide anything. After these days, Jia Rong can fully feel Mihuan's heart.

Mi Huan couldn't react for a while. He pointed to Jia Rong and said, "Do you control the world's soldiers and horses? Commander of the Xiliang Army?"

Jia Rong nodded gently.

Of course, Mihuan knows the name of the Xiliang Army. When looking at the whole world, the only one with the strongest military strength is the Xiliang Army. Among the people, the Xiliang Army is like a myth, and its main general Jia Rong is even more amazing. He has won many battles. The strong Xianbei army is like a local chicken and a tile dog in front of him, which is vulnerable to all kinds of things. It turned out to be Mr. Rong, who had to take care of himself for eating and drinking in front of him.

"Are you really the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army? The one from Chang'an?" Mi Huan asked again, and his eyes at Jia Rong became more and more puzzled. From him, Mi Huan did not feel any heroism, and even Zhang Xiu and others were slightly inferior. Of course, these words could not be said, otherwise Jia Rong would definitely smile bitterly after hearing it.

Jia Rong said, "Huan'er, as you just said, no matter what identity you are, it is difficult to stop us from being together. Even if everyone in the world opposes it, I will completely convince them with the soldiers and horses in my hand."

"In fact, your eldest brother asked you to follow me that day, which also has this meaning. The Mi family has a deep foundation in Xuzhou. After going to Chang'an, many things have not been so smooth." Jia Rongdao.

Mi Huan's face was slightly red, his head drooped, and his hands didn't know where to put them. Even if he had been with Jia Rong recently, he had never heard such naked love words.

"Now the world is in chaos, and the princes are waving the army to send letters to the Pass. My identity is a first-class secret, and it can't be revealed at all."

Mi Huan nodded solemnly and immediately said, "Rong... Big..."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "You can call me the eldest brother, Mr. Rong, or my husband."

Mi Huan whispered, "Deng Tuzi."

"Sirong's injury should be rushed to Changsha for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad for his health." Mi Huan is still used to calling Jia Rong Mr. Rong.

Jia Rong said, "Tonight we will set out for Changsha, and then return to Chang'an. When the princes retreat, I will tell the world to marry Huan'er."

Mi Huan's face turned red and nodded gently. Jia Rong's heart was rippling, but his limbs could not move, but he was anxious.

For ten days in a row, there was no movement in the vassals outside the Hangu Pass. Not to mention Guo Jia, even Hua Xiong felt that something was wrong. There were 360,000 people in the army of princes. Even if they attacked and lost soldiers on the first day and were blocked by the crossbow car, they would not give up easily.
