Xiliang Iron Cavalry

The catapult brought a dense rain of stones again. With the lessons learned from the past, the defenders skillfully found a place to hide, but did not cause many soldiers to die, but the unknown death is the most terrifying. Maybe you are fighting the enemy, but you are killed. Suddenly stoned to death, think about how miserable it would be. Under the influence of the catapult, morale has dropped more or less.

Soon, medical soldiers in white clothes stepped forward, carried the wounded soldiers down the city wall, and some troops joined the defense of the city again. You are the wounded and don't fall behind. The medical soldiers also compete on the battlefield with speed, and they compete with life and death. This is also Jia Rong's intention to train the medical soldiers.

Seeing the scene of the soldiers of the princes passing through the pass, Guo Jia said: "General, quickly send cavalry out of the pass to meet the enemy, and try to completely destroy the princes' army, which can throw stones."

Guo Bang took it seriously and ordered: "General Zhao, you lead a thousand cavalry out of the city immediately."

"Promise!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists together and hurried down the city wall.

After the door was closed and opened, a thousand cavalrymen filed out and charged at the chaotic princes and soldiers. They did not meet any decent resistance and quickly reached the center of the princes' soldiers. .

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, but in just a short while, more than a hundred catapults were destroyed, and he hastily ordered the cavalry to step forward to resist the Xiliang army and reorganize the offensive.

The resistance of the princes' armies doubled, and the pressure on Zhao Yun's troops increased instantly.

Guo Jia said worriedly: "General, the opponent has this kind of weapon for throwing stones, and they will take away all the benefits of our army's city. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be bad for the army. Why don't you send another general to lead the cavalry to throw these weapons away?" Destroy all of them, it is expected that there are not many such weapons in the armies of the princes, and it will also give our army some time to prepare to deal with the attacks of the princes."

Guo Bang thought it was right, "Huang Zhong, you lead another thousand cavalry to go out of the pass, you only need to destroy all these things!"

"Promise!" Veteran Huang Zhong clasped his fists in response.

Under Yuan Shao's forced order, the princes' soldiers continued to attack the city gate. The attacking princes' army suddenly found that they could not break the closed door no matter how much they bumped into it, and they opened it by themselves. Excited, they rushed inward one after another.

The rumbling horseshoes of the cavalry turned the excitement of the soldiers into fear in an instant. They were infantry, and many of them even had no armor on them. How could they block the rain of arrows and the weapons of the cavalry? Under the terrified eyes, Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry pop out.

Zhao Yun's [-] cavalry were fighting in the front, and Huang Zhong led the cavalry in the back. The two joined forces, and the armies of the princes on the battlefield were in chaos.

The all-in-one horse scimitar sharp armor, entering the army of the princes, is like a wolf entering a herd of sheep, no one can stop it.

After breaking through the army of the princes, Huang Zhong led the army, aiming directly at the thunder chariot. After a few cuts, the cavalry were delighted to find that this terrible weapon capable of throwing stones had been destroyed.

The cavalry sent by the princes were also killed by Zhao Yun.

In the army of the princes, Yuan Shao hastily ordered: "Yan Liang, you lead five hundred cavalry forward, and you must protect the thunder chariot."

Yan Liang led the cavalry to fight out. Huang Zhong saw that the Thunderbolt chariot had been destroyed seven or eight times in a blink of an eye, so he did not fight. Withdrew the troops back to the city, Yan Liang led the army forward, closed the gate, and fired arrows and stones, unable to advance.

Guo Si praised: "Old General Huang is really old and strong, greatly increasing the military power of our Xiliang army!"

Seeing that they could not accomplish their feats, the army of the princes ordered the soldiers to retreat, but the effect of this attack was obvious. Although it cost more than 4000 people, it destroyed the ballista that the soldiers of the princes saw, and their morale soared. However, the subsequent self-disruption gave the Xiliang army a chance, otherwise it would be a big victory.

There were [-] catapults when we went there, but there were only a hundred or so when we returned. Yuan Shao ordered the craftsmen to build them while discussing the matter of attacking Hangu Pass. Can suppress the closed Xiliang army.

"Leader, at this time, our army should speed up the production of thunderbolt chariots. The Xiliang army has a large number of talents, and they may soon be able to figure out a way to deal with it. It is really not good for our army. Moreover, this thunderbolt chariot is not accurate enough. When tackling key problems, the first wave of boulders hitting the city wall was only half the size." Li Rudao, he was the chief counselor under Dong Zhuo's tent in the past, so he naturally thought more deeply than these princes, and he would not be blinded by the short-lived victory in front of him. The victory can only be regarded as a small victory, and the Xiliang army did not suffer any injuries.

"Wen You's words are true. If there is an order to pass on, if any craftsman can improve the thunderbolt car, he will be rewarded." Yuan Shao said.

Cao Cao stroked his sparse beard and said: "Not only that, our army will attack the city day and night, the losses of the closed crossbow carts this time must be not small, and the morale of the army is fluctuating, while our army's morale is greatly increased. Bring the thunderbolt car, so that the Xiliang army will not dare to act rashly."

The armies of the princes are planning to attack the city, and the Xiliang army in Guanzhong is naturally thinking about how to stop the thunderbolt chariots of the princes. More than 100 ballistas were lost in today's battle. difficulty.

Guo Si glanced at the generals in the tent, and said: "The allied forces of the princes have such sharp weapons for attacking the city, what good strategy can we use?"

"General Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun rashly rushed out today, making the princes quite powerful. When they attack in the future, they will definitely protect them closely." Guo Jia continued.

The generals in the tent talked a lot. This kind of siege weapon is indeed unprecedented. Throwing stones on the city wall is a bit scary when you think about it. To be stoned to death, to fight bravely on the battlefield, and to die cowardly is another matter.

"General, we can use fire. These things are made of wood, so they will definitely catch fire." Hua Xiong said excitedly.

Guo Bang pondered for a moment and said: "Although General Hua's plan is good, couldn't the coalition forces have thought of this? When they attack the city in the future, the other side will definitely protect this kind of thing closely."

Hua Xiong scratched his head with a slightly flushed face.

Huang Zhongdao: "General, it is said that there is a kind of heavy infantry in our army. They are covered with armor all over their bodies. Even the shields used by the shield soldiers are made of steel. Why not let the craftsman workshop make a large shield and resist it with a strong man. These stones have no power."

Guo Si nodded slightly, Huang Zhong's plan is a good strategy, but Chang'an is not close to Hangu Pass, not to mention it needs a craftsman's workshop to build it, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. How much morale does the army have.

"General Huang's plan is good. I will write to Chang'an and let the craftsman workshop build a large shield."

"After you go back, think about it. The princes have more than 30 troops, but our army is only tens of thousands. Once the princes' troops attack the city wall, Hangu Pass will be in danger." Guo Si said.

After the crowd dispersed, Guo Jia stayed behind and said softly, "My lord has been found."

Guo Bang's expression froze suddenly, and he immediately revealed a look of excitement, and he held Guo Jia tightly, but suddenly it sounded that Jia Rong's matter was a top secret, and asked in a low voice: "Really? Have you returned to Chang'an now?" ?”

Guo Jia said with a groan, "General, you can't take it lightly."

Guo Si, who has always been quite calm among the generals, couldn't help rubbing his hands, looked at Guo Jia earnestly and said: "Military Master, tell me about the Lord quickly."

"My lord was discovered by Zhang Xiu in Jiangxia City, but he was poisoned by a poison and his limbs could not move. Now he is looking for a good doctor for treatment." Guo Jia said in a low voice.

Guo Bang's expression became extremely ferocious in an instant, and he said through gritted teeth: "Have you ever found out who did it, and will cut this person into pieces and kill the nine clans."

Guo Jia's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the lord met an old man, and instructed him to go to the magic doctor for treatment. I think he will be fine in a few days."

Guo Bang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still ugly. Jia Rong was actually poisoned, "What are the guards who protect the lord doing? Such things happen."

"Zhao Fan was killed by the enemy in order to protect the lord, and Zhang Xiu also escaped by chance, because he was in Zhou Tai's naval camp at that time, and he was negligent in guarding against it." Guo Jia sighed.

"Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai, I will never let you down when I see you in the future!" Guo Si said coldly, Zhou Tai belongs to the Xiliang Army, and it is not a secret among high-level officials, but it is only known to a few people.

Guo Jia couldn't believe that Guo Si, who had always been steady and polite in the army, would have such a side. It seemed that everyone had Ni Lin, and Guo Si's Ni Lin was Jia Rong.

Under the cover of the Thunderbolt chariot, the princes attacked quite sharply. On several occasions, they even attacked the city wall and fought hand-to-hand.

"General, I saw that person living in this inn with my own eyes. It was his subordinates who injured several of our brothers and said cruelly that they would beat each other when they saw each other." In Jiangxia City, a soldier pointed at Jia. Said the inn where Sakae lived.

A ruthless look flashed across the face of the young general. What the soldiers said must be a little untrue, but it is not permissible for soldiers to beat him in the city. Regardless of whether Jia Rong is justified or not, he must be taken back. "Take him back and torture him severely." , this general suspects that they are spies of Jiangdong."

"No!" Excitement appeared on the soldier's face, but those who fell into the general's hands never got out alive, and Jia Rong could not escape this catastrophe.

"General, there is a woman next to that man. She is so beautiful that her bones are crisp at first glance." The soldier flattered.

"It was you who fell in love with that woman, and then wanted to do something wrong and caused a catastrophe?" The young general said lightly.
