The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 188 Chapter 180

The siege ladder was short, and the Wuhuan people who climbed the ladder had to go up and down, and the people on the ground shouted and shouted in a hurry!Su Puyan, who was in the rear, yelled angrily and scolded the Han army for their cunning. In addition to fighting for bravery on the battlefield, fighting for wits is indispensable. However, this aspect is precisely the shortcoming of the Wuhuan people.

"Turn rocks and roll logs!" Liang Xi ordered loudly.

In an instant, stones and logs poured down from the top of the city, and everyone in Wuhuan who was smashed had nowhere to hide, and there was a lot of screams.

"Archers get ready, shoot!" Liang Xi continued to order loudly, seeing that the enemy army close to the city wall was in chaos.

With Huo Yu's series of policies in the past two years, the economic situation in Liaodong has been greatly improved. Huo Yu has a lot of money, most of which have been invested in the military by Huo Yu. The Craftsman Workshop has a large number of craftsmen. According to The assembly line model proposed by Huo Yu manufactures weapons, armor, arrows, and crossbows. Therefore, no matter where they go, the arrows of the Liaodong Army always seem to be free of money.

Following Liang Xi's order, the archers on the city wall shot out the rain of arrows in their hands row by row. The three-stage strike method made the arrow rain of the Han army almost unbroken, and the densely packed arrows flew towards the city. The Wuhuan people rushed in front of them, and in a blink of an eye the army that had attacked the city and was unable to advance or retreat lost a lot, and many of them were wounded and wailing. The armor-piercing arrows used by the Liaodong Army were not inferior to the armor of the Wuhuan people.

After all, a foreign race is a foreign race. Although the cavalry has an advantage, they are still not as professional as the Han army when it comes to siege warfare.Although the Wuhuan people's first round of attack was suspected of underestimating the enemy, but seeing the arrows raining down on the city and the heavy losses of his men, Su Puyan immediately gave the order to retreat.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The Wuhuan people were ordered to retreat like an amnesty, but those who were injured were ignored.

"King Qiao, brothers have suffered heavy losses. The Han people's bows and arrows are really too powerful! Our archers can't suppress the Han army at all!" In fact, Su Puyan saw the situation just now, and he also understood that the Han people's bows and arrows are powerful, but To capture the city, you must find a way to exhaust the arrows of the Han army.

Is it only the life to fill?Su Puyan shook his head, and in his heart he greeted all the eighteen generations of Qiu Liju's ancestors. The combat power of the Liaodong Army was much stronger than what he said.

Since the ladder needs to be remade, the Wuhuan people's attack is over for today.The city can't even touch it, so what's the difference between attacking the city like this and sending it to death!The Wuhuan people stopped their troops and went back to the camp, and cheers erupted from the city of Changli. Although there was no hand-to-hand combat in today's battle, only [-] archers repelled the Wuhuan people. I believe this is the only time in the history of the Han army's battle. .

In the Wuhuan camp, after Su Puyan ordered to rush to build the ladder immediately, he returned to the big tent with a sullen face to rest. "It seems that the idea of ​​exhausting the enemy's arrows cannot be realized!" Su Puyan said to himself.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, [-] Wuhuan troops reappeared at the foot of Changli City carrying newly made ladders.Yesterday, Pei Yuanshao proposed to attack the enemy camp at night, but was rejected by Liang Xi, because he believed that Su Puyan must have heard about the tactics of the Liaodong Army. Rather than expending limited troops, it is better to gather and defend.

The horn sounded, and the Wuhuan people's attack began!

"Soldiers, the Wuhuan people attacked our city and robbed our property and women, what should we do?" Liang Xi shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" All the soldiers on the city wall who heard Liang Xi's words shouted loudly.

Liang Xi glanced at the soldiers around him with relief. Today, these recruits no longer had the nervousness of yesterday, but instead looked expectant. The training methods of the Liaodong Army are unique. If the soldiers who can survive this battle will surely be able to Become an elite soldier.

At this time, outside the city, the Wuhuan army was advancing in an orderly manner under the command of Su Puyan. Although the formation seemed chaotic, the people on the city wall who were already overwhelmed were a little out of breath.

With the command of "kill", the Wuhuan people rushed to the front carrying a simple ladder and quickly rushed towards the city wall. The hastily made ladder was very ugly, even so, the Wuhuan people had to spend a lot of effort.But today the Wuhuan people not only have a ladder, but also carry a huge log, obviously coming towards the city gate.But they didn't know that Liang Xi had already ordered people to block the city gates. Even if the Wuhuan people could break through the city gates, they would not be able to enter the city.

"Fire the arrows," Liang Xi ordered again as the Wuhuan people entered the range of the archers.

Yesterday's scene was repeated again. The Han army's rain of arrows was so powerful that the Wuhuan people paid a lot of money to get close to the city wall.Simple ladders were erected. Due to the lack of upside-down hooks, the ladders were easily pushed down by the halberd soldiers of the Han army. After an hour of mad attack, the Wuhuan people still failed to reach the top of the city.

The two thousand archers of the Han army were already tired and their arms were weak. Fortunately, Huang Xu patted his subordinates in time to take over the position of the archers, and continued to shoot with bows and arrows.But he himself shuttled back and forth over the city with a big bow, shooting and killing those generals of the Wuhuan people.In just half an hour, as many as 20 Wuhuan people died at the hands of Huang Xu.

The atmosphere of terror spread instantly in Wuhuan's army, and Wuhuan's generals no longer dared to command battles boldly, so the efficiency of the siege plummeted.In the back formation, Su Puyan looked at the corpses of the clansmen in the city, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, so he whispered something to the guards around him, and then the guards nodded and left.

On the head of Changli City, when the archers of the Han army were excited to repel the attack of the Wuhuan people, suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier found that the Wuhuan people were collecting the corpses of their own tribe, so out of curiosity, "Huh!" With a sound.

This sound caught Liang Xi's attention, and when he fixed his eyes, he instantly understood what the Wuhuan people were doing, so he had no choice but to say: "A barbarian is a barbarian!"

It turned out that when Su Puyan saw the corpses under the city just now, he thought of a wonderful idea that he thought could not only consume the arrows of the Han army, but also ensure that the soldiers would not be shot and lose too much strength.Su Pushan let the advancing soldiers march forward with corpses on their shoulders, and this idea had a miraculous effect.

It's not so much a miraculous effect, it's better to say that the Han army actively weakened the shooter's rate of fire.Most of the arrow rain shot on the corpse is a bit wasteful.

"Hahaha" Su Puyan, who was standing in the rear, saw that the rain of arrows from the Han army on the city wall was obviously sparse, so he laughed loudly.

"Decree that once the city is captured, the follow-up army will attack immediately, and Changli City must be taken down today! Tell the warriors of the tribe that they will be free to plunder for three days after breaking the city!"

Following the issuance of Su Puyan's general order, the Wuhuan people began to attack the city of Changli like crazy, but at this moment Liang Xi showed a smile on his face. He only remembered last night that the city of Changli There is a lot of black oil!
