On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 56 You have no other choice but to believe me
"General, we have gathered all the cattle in the city, a thousand in total."

"Well, next, tie the short sword to the horns of the cow, and put on light armor on the cow."

"Yes, I'll do it right now."

Gu Changsheng, who was wearing a soldier uniform, said with a serious face, and the other soldier nodded equally seriously.

The general next to him, Wu Anping, was stunned for a moment.

No, I am the leader.

But now he can't figure out what Gu Changsheng wants to do?
By putting helmets on farm cattle, it is possible that he can also drive these beasts to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

But this did not violate the agreement between him and Gu Changsheng.

After all, although cattle are valuable, they are nothing compared to the destruction of the city and the country.

Let the national treasury make compensation at that time.

Therefore, Wu Anping did not stop Gu Changsheng's actions and nodded in acquiescence.

Soon, a thousand cattle wearing light armor gathered together. Just from the appearance, it was indeed very intimidating.

But this is just an appearance!
The cattle used for farming have been domesticated and have long since lost their wild nature.

Let several cavalrymen hold the rope and walk forward slowly and steadily.

It is simply impossible for such a group of honest guys to follow orders and attack the Qin army's positions.

However, the next second, Wu Anping could no longer maintain his composure.

I saw Gu Changsheng nodding with satisfaction after inspecting the cattle.

Then he waved again.

Someone took out reeds soaked in grease and tied them to the ox's tail.

What is this doing?

Wu Anping was even more puzzled when he saw this scene.

"Boom! Boom!! Boom boom!!!"

"Qin thieves are coming, protect the city, protect the city!!!"

At this moment, war drums suddenly beat on the city wall.

Accompanied by the deafening shouts of the defenders, all the generals at Hangu Border Gate instantly boiled.

Here we go again, those killers.

"How can I say that I have no clothes, and I am in the same robe as my son, and I will fight with the old Qin and go to the national calamity together!"

Outside the city gate, the banners of the State of Qin were ringing, and murderous intent was rising into the sky.

The warriors of Great Qin armed with bronze weapons came like a tide.

It is endless and densely packed, which is daunting.

"Bow and Crossbow Battalion!"

The calm and powerful command sounded in the Qin army's formation.

"exist."

The Qin soldiers who were calmly and solemnly responded immediately.

"attack!!!"

"Yes."

In an instant, arrows were flying all over the sky, pouring towards Hangu Pass.

The Qin army's offensive was extremely fierce. Rows of crossbow arrows were fired at them, and hundreds of Zhou soldiers were crucified on the spot.

After a round of offensive, they once again arranged themselves into square formations one after another in an orderly manner, slowly advancing forward.

Every few steps, a shield bearer would raise a thick shield to resist attacks.

"Spearmen prepare."

"Yes."

"put!!"

shhhhhh...

A cold light flashed across the sky, and the Qin army's spears were like a forest, thrusting straight into the Zhou army's formation.

In an instant, blood splattered, broken limbs and arms flew across the field, and howls filled the land.

"The Qin thief is here, what should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing the Zhou defenders who were unable to climb up the city gate under the pressure of powerful crossbows, Wu Anping was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

This time the Qin army's offensive was different from the past. It was unprecedentedly strong. It seemed that it must capture Hangu Pass.

And they were completely unprepared, even facing the opponent's powerful crossbow, with no way to counterattack.

Could it be that Wu Anping's first battle on the border battlefield was going to end in a disastrous defeat?

Next to him was General Fengtian, who had just been sent to the frontier.Wu Anping could already think of his next fate, and he and Gu Changsheng gathered together the door gods of the left and right camps.
A earthen fort war god.

A Hangu Pass war god.

"Let everyone exit the city walls and open the city gates."

Gu Changsheng seemed to have expected the scene in front of him, and said calmly to Wu Anping, who was beside him with a pale face and cold sweat falling from his forehead.

"What, you want me to surrender? No, I, Wu Anping, am a member of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. I can't escape like a bereaved dog."

"Even if I, Wu Anping, died, was shot into a hedgehog by the Qin thieves' crossbow, and my body was hung at the city gate, I would never be able to take even a step back."

Wu Anping exclaimed when he heard this and looked at Gu Changsheng in disbelief.

"Who said you should surrender? Seeing that the enemy's arrows are almost falling on your head, you still have the courage to rush up. This is not bravery, this is just a lack of nerves."

Gu Changsheng's face was full of dark lines, obviously he did not expect Wu Anping's reaction.

"Let all the soldiers retreat, gather the cavalry, and prepare to pursue the fleeing Qin army."

"Are you crazy? The overall situation of the Qin army has been decided, how can they escape?"

Wu Anping still didn't come to his senses.

"Whether you want to be the God of War of Hangu Pass, or you want to be famous in history, you have no choice but to believe in me."

Gu Changsheng frowned and said something serious.

Being indecisive and missing good opportunities is a major taboo in military campaigns.

If you want to become a qualified leader, the opponent still needs to learn a lot.

"Go ahead, gather all the cavalry, open the city gate, and fight these Qin thieves."

Wu Anping's face was uncertain, but he gritted his teeth and chose to believe Gu Changsheng.

"General, it seems that Zhou's defenders have surrendered."

The Qin army outside Hangu Pass also noticed the movement in front, and suddenly became more excited.

The terrain of Hangu Pass is the key. Opening this place is equivalent to opening a breakthrough in the siege of the four countries. Qin will no longer need to face the attack of the four countries at the same time.

"Drop the shield hand and move forward at full speed."

The general of Qin suddenly shouted excitedly.

In this way, Qin's military formation once again approached within 300 meters of Hangu Pass, and the modified serial crossbow had a terrifying range of 600 meters.

At this distance, the arrow is almost useless.

They really couldn't imagine how Zhou Guo could make a comeback now.

"ignition."

At the same time, Gu Changsheng, who had been silently calculating the distance, suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the Hanguguan city gate opened wide, smoke and dust billowed, and the ground shook.

Moo! ! !
The tail was ignited, and even the gentle farm cattle couldn't bear it at this time and let out a manic neighing.

The cattle were frightened and ran away, bringing up a cloud of smoke.

"Roar!"

As they ran wildly, the earth trembled.

"Oops, something's wrong."

Outside Hangu Pass, the leader of the Qin Army's pupils shrank sharply, and a sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart.

There was no hesitation.

"The archers obeyed the order and immediately shot these animals with their powerful crossbows."

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, covering the sky.

Countless powerful crossbows shot out, turning into endless streams of light.

The offensive that had been invincible in the past failed this time.

Because those galloping cattle are all strong and thick-skinned, even if they are hit by crossbow arrows, they will not completely lose their ability to move for a while.

What's more, Gu Changsheng also put light armor on each farm cow. Although the defense of light armor is not as good as heavy armor, it can still effectively deflect some random arrows.

Even if it is shot through, with the buffer of this layer of light armor, it will only leave a small hole in the body of the cattle.

Perhaps only the overlord on the grassland knows how terrifying a herd of crazy cattle is.

In fact, even male lions have to take shelter from the mad buffalo herd.

Once the bison herd reaches thousands, and encounters an intruder, they will attack the intruder in groups.

Even the lion, the king of beasts, would not dare to attack when faced with a herd of buffaloes.

Now, what the Qin army faced was such a collision, with thousands of cattle rushing together. What a spectacular and shocking picture it was.

It would be better if they were not in the path of the cattle.
