The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110

The Xianbei people's horns sounded gradually, and the drums of the Han army on Xiangping City also sounded, and the battle was imminent.

"Archers prepare, three-stage projectile, first discharge" As the Xianbei rushed to the range of the bow and arrow, orders followed one after another.

Now the crossbowmen in Xiangping City, after nearly a year of careful training by Huang Zhong, are no longer what they used to be.On the top of the city, according to the tactics taught by Huo Yu, the archers of the Han army shot their bows and arrows down the city wall wave after wave, and then there were screams from below the city.

Everyone in Xianbei was good at shooting, and they started to fight back without showing any weakness.However, the quality of the bows and arrows of the two sides was very different from the quality of the arrows. For a while, the Xianbei people under the city were suppressed by the Han army instead.Watching the arrow rain wave after wave on the top of the city, He Lian frowned and said, "Why do these Han people have so many archers?"

Su Li was also puzzled. In the past, Xianbei archers suppressed the Han army in battles, but today he changed his opinion. It turns out that the Han army's archers are also so sharp.

After the Xianbei people suffered huge casualties, they gradually approached the city wall. Just as they were about to put the ladder on the city wall with joy, they heard a sudden voice from the city: "Crossbowmen prepare, shoot!"

With one order, a batch of crossbow arrows followed, and the penetration power of the crossbow arrows shot by the rhubarb crossbow at close range was not what ordinary armor could block, not to mention that the Xianbei people did not have decent armor at all. Although a few people held leather shields in their hands , but it can't block the crossbow arrows fired from such a distance.

Quite a few people were shot to death, and those who were lucky enough not to be shot to death lay on the ground crying in pain!This kind of sound made the attacking party feel heartbroken and the defending party excited.After paying another wave of casualties, the Xianbei people finally rushed to the bottom of the wall, and a ladder was leaned against the city wall. The Xianbei soldiers, stimulated by blood, roared and rushed up the ladder.

Then, no more, none of the people who rushed up the ladder could go up the city wall.It turns out that the cunning Huo Yu raised the height of the Xiangping City Wall during this year, and the Xianbei people's ladders were all a lot shorter.You can't go up, you can't go down, the Xianbei people on the ladder have become good targets.

The archers of the Han army risked their lives and shot directly. Every time an arrow was shot, a Xianbei would fall off the ladder.Over time, with the counterattack of the Xianbei archers under the city, the casualties of the Han army's archers began to increase.Seeing this situation, Huo Yu strictly ordered the archers to show their heads and shoot. Anyway, the Xianbei people can't go up the city wall, and the archers can only be responsible for the enemies in the distance.

He Lian, who was in the rear, saw that the ladder was shortened, and scolded his mother angrily!Su Li was still old-fashioned, and hastily issued an order to withdraw the troops.The corpses left by the Xianbei people receded into the tide.The first tentative attack ended in a hurry, and the Han army on the top of the city rejoiced. What's more, they stood on the battlements and peed down to provoke the big nerves of the Xianbei people.

"So that's what the lord meant by raising the city wall! It's boring, my old Zhang hasn't made a move yet!" Zhang Fei said belatedly.

"Report, my lord. The Xianbei from the other three sects have retreated." Not long after, a personal guard suddenly came to report.

Huo Yu nodded, as if he knew it already.Looking at Huo Yu's harmless smile, all the officers and men were sure that the Xianbei people would be in trouble again!Why do I say again...

After all the Xianbei had retreated, Huo Yu ordered all the soldiers to take the time to rest and recover their strength. The Xianbei people would not come again in the morning.

In the afternoon, the Han army, who had regained their energy after eating and drinking, was awakened by the horns of the Xianbei people.After a brief adjustment, the Xianbei came again carrying the ladder.But this time, the Xianbei people became cunning. Before the infantry arrived, they sent cavalry to shoot at the city wall, but the archers of the Han army on the city could not do anything to them.

The battle situation began to develop in a favorable direction for Xianbei.In fact, as early as Huo Yu discovered that the archers could not do anything to the cavalry, he ordered all the archers to hide.When Xianbeiran's ladders appeared at the top of the city, the infantry of the Han army began to push down the ladders one by one in groups of three or five. Every time a ladder was pushed down, there were screams from under the city wall.

Being pushed down again and again, and erected again and again, the perseverance of the Xianbei people moved the Han army.So Huo Yu ordered the use of rocks and rolling logs to let the Xianbei people try something new.For a while, the entire battlefield was filled with the screams of the Xianbei people and the shouts of the Han army.The sun gradually went west, and the Xianbei who had been attacking for a day couldn't even go up the city wall, but Suli knew more or less how the Han army defended the city.

After a night of rest, the two sides fought again!In today's attack, the Xianbei people came in formation and prepared a lot of wooden shields for defense. Of course, the Xianbei cavalry still suppressed the Han army's archers first, and Helian and Suli were separated into two cities. The door is responsible for supervising the battle.

"Being able to learn tactics in battle is truly extraordinary!" Huo Yu exclaimed in admiration.

"My lord deceived me, doesn't my lord want the Xianbei people to come in formation?" Guo Jia said with a smile on the side.

"Hahaha, you can't hide anything from Feng Xiao!" Huo Yu shook his head and said.

Sure enough, the archers of the Han army who showed great prowess yesterday encountered a large area of ​​wooden shield defenses that had failed after the formation today, and Su Li was secretly delighted in the rear formation.Just when Xianbei was in hot formation and approaching the city wall for [-] steps, the Han army on the top of the city suddenly pushed out a dozen strange-shaped objects.

The next moment, Su Li dared to swear that that thing was definitely a murderous weapon.When the thick arrows were shot by the bed crossbow, the Xianbei people who formed the formation were in trouble.One arrow went down and one line was missing in a square formation. What a pity, the legs of the other Xianbei people were weak.

After two rounds of shooting from the bed crossbow, the Xianbei people no longer dared to form an formation close to the city wall, and the formation dispersed accordingly. This time, the archers on the city began to shoot wildly again.After thinking hard all night, Su Li actually made a wedding dress for the Han army, Su Li had a gloomy face.

"Report, leader! Samad Khan was killed in battle." A scout rushed to report.

"What? What happened? Samad Khan, an idiot! Chenglu returned to Ximen to take over the command over there."

Watching his nephew Cheng Lugui go away under orders, Su Li thought, "It's really a bad start, Jue Ji, Samad Khan, father and son, ruined my big business."

How did Samad Khan die in battle?Speaking of it, he could only blame himself, he was so focused on avenging his father that he personally participated in the siege. Although he was lucky enough not to be shot to death by the bed crossbow, he was shocked by the power of the bed crossbow.At this moment, Huang Zhong shot his head with an arrow and died!
After Samad Khan's death, the Xianbei people in the west of the city fell into chaos. Zhao Yun took the opportunity to lead Fei Yuqi out of the city to charge and kill.Zhao Yun took the lead, and the Xianbei people had no enemies wherever they passed.The main general of one's own side was alive and dead, and another strong general appeared on the other side. For a while, Ximen's Xianbei was even more chaotic. Fortunately, the number was superior, so Zhao Yun did not expand the results of the battle.

When Cheng Lugui arrived with his personal guards, the camp in the west of the city prepared for the Feiyuqi led by Zhao Yun to ignite the blockbuster. Looking at the backs of Zhao Yun and Feiyuqi retreating gracefully, Chenglugui gritted his teeth angrily!
