Chapter 1338 Fight!
beat!
Facing the impenetrable Xiangyang, the Cao-Sun Allied Forces, who were advancing all the way, did not even have a decent temptation. They directly tore off all the coats other than war, and even the additional attributes of war such as assassination, sabotage, alienation, and internal response. There is absolutely no intention to use it at all.

Going up like this and putting on a decisive battle stance, although Gan Ning and Wenpin finally had a point to vent their anger, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious of the crazy Cao-Sun coalition army.

"Master, my lord, do you think this will be the case when the Cao-Sun coalition army comes up?" Gan Ning played with the installed and debugged mountain crossbow beside him, looking at Cao Cao in a bright battle robe, who was not afraid of Xiangyang crossbow arrows at all, riding a peerless horse like a heavenly man Generally speaking, when you look at the front of the formation, you can't help but feel more indescribable about the menacing Cao Jun.

"Naturally, it has been predicted," Guo Jia smiled. The feeling of seeing the old master again made him very uncomfortable, but then he patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Why, is it because you know there will be no reinforcements? Afraid of Cao Sun's 30 army?"

"How is it possible?!" Gan Ning's face turned blue, and he couldn't help but feel a little more arrogant: "If they dare to come, I will let them know how powerful the Ma family's crossbows are!"

Crossbow, powerful, accurate positioning, long range, strong penetration.There are only two disadvantages, one is expensive and easy to damage.The second is that the launch speed is relatively slow, which is seriously affected by the weather.

This is also the reason why crossbows were not widely used in many eras.

It is difficult for general princes in troubled times to bear the high cost of crossbows. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when many soldiers went to the battlefield with a wooden stick, and when a sword wrapped around it became a precious weapon, the crossbow This kind of high-end product is simply beyond the imagination of most tycoons.

But they don't know that although the crossbow is expensive, most of the components are the same, if standardized management is adopted.Unify the size of each part of the crossbow, and its cost will be greatly reduced.And the versatility of wearing parts will make it easy to be damaged, and this shortcoming can be easily solved.And Jingzhou has Wancheng, a city of smelting, and the foundation of Jingzhou, a hometown of bows and arrows, so it is possible to have a strong city guard.

As for the shortcoming of the ballista's slow firing speed, it's just that the users themselves don't know how to use it. They don't know that the ballista is a powerful weapon.It is best not used alone.Instead, it is necessary to form a formation and launch in turn.It takes turns to load, and even when necessary, it is necessary to realize the division of labor between loading, bowing, and launching, in order to exert its true strength.In the battle of the crossbow army, there is a formation of ten thousand crossbows firing at once. Once this formation is formed, it will be unprecedentedly powerful, supremely powerful, and invincible to the enemy.

During the time Ma Chao stayed in Xiangyang, apart from secretly investigating the conspiracy of the Cao Alliance, the rest of his work was to transport a large number of crossbow machines and crossbow bolts from Wancheng to fill up several fixed arsenals in Xiangyang. In addition, several temporary arsenals were even built.During this period, the defensive war equipment and food and grass reserves simply surpassed the largest scale of any city in this era.These have become the confidence that Gan Ning and others are not afraid of in the face of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, who are famous all over the world.

"General, all crossbow machines have been debugged. Wangshan, machine teeth, hook heart, crossbow body, and arrows are all in good condition!" A guarding primary school stepped forward and reported to Gan Ninghui with a respectful salute.

"That's right," Gan Ning licked his lips, and looked at the enemy army below the city, showing wolf-like ferocity in his eyes: "Since they are not even willing to try, let me start the prelude to this decisive battle !” After saying that, Gan Ning manipulated it himself, filled the three-foot-four-inch-long Xiangyang moso bamboo crossbow with arrows behind the mountain-destroying crossbow beside him, aimed at Cao Cao through Wangshan, and then slammed the trigger!

With a sound of 'bang', the crossbow arrow seemed to draw a bolt of lightning in the clear sky, flying towards Cao Cao!The fierce general guards around Cao Cao had no time to react, and saw Cao Cao's helmet tassel being shot down by the crossbow arrows!

"Damn it!" Gan Ning punched, "It's only two inches taller, I didn't expect Lao Cao to be so short!"

However, this sudden crossbow still shocked the entire Cao army.All the soldiers of the Cao family saw that Cao Cao was almost killed by crossbow arrows from the city at a distance of 150 steps. His morale could not help but drop, and there was an unnatural commotion in the strict formation.

"I am the man Cao Mengde's destiny belongs to, and the soldiers under his command are righteous soldiers who stand up for the heavens. How can mere crossbows and arrows hurt me?!" Full of arrogance and arrogance.After the words, the guards around him immediately reacted, and then shouted loudly: "The king of Wei is invincible, and he will destroy Xiangyang!!"

The morale shot down by an arrow was immediately transformed into arrogance by Cao Cao. Sun Ce on the other side saw this and couldn't help but admit that Cao Cao was indeed a hero.After all, if that arrow was shot at him, he might have ordered the attack on the city in a fit of anger, right?
But Cao Cao was so adaptable. After turning around the morale of the entire battlefield, he waved the command flag fiercely: "Kill me!"

"Kill!" Sun Ce also waved down the command flag at the same time, this time he did not take the lead.With Cao Cao as an excellent teacher, he can learn everything very quickly.

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains seemed to shake the entire sun down.After that, the pioneers carrying the ladders, the operators pushing the thunderbolt carts, and more brave siege pioneers quickly and slowly submerged the entire front of Xiangyang City like a tidal wave.At the same time, the mountain-destroying crossbows on the city also burst out with neat stringing sounds, and the formation of ten thousand crossbows, which had not been seen in a century, finally reappeared at this moment!
Thanks to the protection of the Xiangshui River, Xiangyang City has a sufficiently wide moat.In this way, those siege vanguards can only look at the city and sigh, and can only attack from the riverside.The long ladder couldn't stand up to the towering city wall of Xiangyang City. Although the siege soldiers who came at this time had fierce morale, they suffered the greatest losses.

The shouts of killing in the city became more and more intense, Gan Ning immediately got up and went to more watchtowers, where he saw his first bodyguard captain was bare-chested, screaming angrily, waving a big knife in his hand, and directing his subordinates to shoot arrows.Looking down, I saw the Cao-Sun coalition army densely packed, charging towards this side like ants.Due to the close distance, all the faces of the coalition forces were distorted, with their mouths open and shouting loudly, facing the rain of arrows, charging towards this side.Many pioneers who could swim directly swam across the moat, and were about to climb the city wall of Xiangyang with their ring swords in their hands.

On the front outside the moat, the crossbow bolts that fell like a torrential rain had already shot corpses all over the field, causing countless casualties.But I have to admit that the incoming army is really brave. Although the formation is broken and the flag bearers have changed a few rounds, the army behind is still rushing forward. City, morale is very high.

Just when Gan Ning was feeling emotional, an army almost climbed up to Gan Ning's eyes.If it weren't for the quick support from the reserve army organized by Tai Shici, maybe the allied army's lifeless attack would have been broken through.

At this time, any conspiracy and tricks are useless.In the siege battle, the command and response ability of the generals defending the city were more tested. Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Wen Pin were of equal rank, but Guo Jia coordinated and deployed them, and the three performed their respective duties. , There was no improper command or inconsistent military orders at all.Gan Ning was in the watchtower, with his eyes on the six roads and the overall situation, and quickly spit out one order after another from his mouth. After being passed on to the whole army by the messengers, the entire Xiangyang city was like a whole, with more adjustments and less reinforcements, and the mobile defense was seamless.

However, Ma Jiajun's luck finally ran out at sunset.The thunderbolt chariot invented by Liu Ye is no less than the new-style trebuchet of the Ma family. The huge roaring stones have made great achievements repeatedly, like an unpleasant but tough blunt knife, cutting the city wall of Xiangyang city layer by layer, flying earth and rocks, Xiangyang City is slowly being dilapidated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"We must burn those thunderbolt cars!" Gan Ning roared with red eyes, but before he finished speaking, he heard a loud boom under his feet, and a large part of the city wall suddenly collapsed. It turned out that this was the place where Cai Mao's servant hid to assassinate Ma Chao Although the place was rebuilt, it was not strong. Cao Cao naturally would not let go of this little advantage. After bombarding the boulders for a long time, he finally smashed a few big stones, and the city wall collapsed again.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Bing's ladder finally had a place to be erected.The hand-to-hand combat that all defending generals do not want to see, still inevitably appeared!
