The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 335 Chapter 334
The power of the explosion far exceeded the expectations of Xun Yu, Cao Hong and others. Two hundred thunderbolt bombs exploded one after another, and the entire city gate was blown to pieces. Flesh was bloody, and even the ground was shaken three times by the thunderbolt bomb.

Gunpowder smoke filled the vicinity of the city gate, and the soldiers above the city tower were also overturned by the shock wave generated by the explosion. There was a buzzing in their ears, and they could only see everyone opening their mouths, but no sound could be heard.

The gate of the city was in a mess, and the limbs of the soldiers were even more torn apart. Blood was splashed everywhere, and stone chips and sawdust were everywhere.

Xun Yu was completely shocked. He never expected that the enemy's weapons were so powerful. If the enemy kept using this weapon to attack, even if there were millions of soldiers, they might not be able to resist it!

At this moment, Zhang Yan's army started to move. Taking advantage of the smog on the tower, Gan Ning jumped into the moat with a hundred soldiers with relatively good water skills, and swam to the opposite bank as fast as possible. , and then cut off the cables on the suspension bridge with a knife, the suspension bridge fell directly, and with a loud bang, it was erected on the moat. Fortunately, the suspension bridge was intact and could allow the army to pass through.

"Today is the day to make meritorious deeds, everyone rush with me!" Seeing the fall of the suspension bridge, Zhang Yan immediately pulled out the saber from his waist, rode on the black cloud riding horse, swung the saber forward, and shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan took the lead in leading the soldiers and horses, and rushed towards the suspension bridge on a black cloud and snow horse. Behind him, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao also galloped wildly. Voice.

After Gan Ning cut off the suspension bridge, he led the hundred people and rushed directly into the door opening of Zhuquemen, but he saw that the door opening of Zhuquemen was full of corpses, bloody and bloody, it was already a mess, but he didn't see a single person. The figure of the enemy.

Just after rushing out of the door opening of Suzaku Gate, hundreds of arrows suddenly shot down like a violent storm. Gan Ning, who was rushing to the front, was caught off guard for a moment. Most of the soldiers died, and there were only a few of the hundred soldiers who came with him, and each of them suffered arrow wounds to varying degrees.

The enemy's arrows shot very fiercely, one cluster had just landed, and another cluster flew over. Gan Ning had to order to retreat, and retreated to the door opening of Zhuque Gate.

At this time, Zhang Yan galloped forward and saw that Gan Ning was injured, most of the others were shot to death by arrows, and the ground was covered with arrows, so he already knew that the enemy was prepared.

Seeing Zhang Yan's arrival, Gan Ning hurried forward to pay homage, and said with guilt on his face: "Regent, the enemy army has retreated into the Wengcheng at some point, and there are archers everywhere on the city wall. into town..."

Zhang Yan reined in his horse and said to Gan Ning, "It's not your fault, it can only be said that the enemy's reaction was very quick..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan turned his horse's head and stopped all the troops following behind him.

Now that the enemy army has hid in the urn city, then blow up the urn city, no matter how many gates you have, blow them all up, under the fierce attack of thunderbolts, no one can block Zhang Yan's advance!

Soon, under the command of Zhang Yan, Gao Shun sent people to send a hundred Thunderbolt bombs from the army formation outside the city. handed over to them.

Zhang Yan said solemnly to the hundred daredevils: "The city wall is full of enemy archers. It can be said that the enemy is attacking from three sides, so this time you should pay more attention to the attack on the two wings. At all costs, pile up these thunderbolts at the gate of Urn City, and when you return, throw the torch over and ignite those thunderbolts, and the task will be considered complete."

The hundred dare-to-die men nodded heavily, and said in unison: "Regent, please rest assured, I will definitely complete this task."

After finishing speaking, everyone made preparations one after another, each carrying a shield, and one holding a thunderbolt, and then all the hundred soldiers huddled together, covering them all with the shields in their hands, like a Like a tortoise shell, airtight.

So, the hundred soldiers began to move forward slowly, and after they got out of the opening of the Suzaku Gate, clusters of arrows shot towards them with a clanging sound, and all of them were blocked from the shield.

These one hundred soldiers formed a tortoise array relying on their shields, moving forward slowly, watching the situation ahead through the gap between the shields.

Arrows rained down on the wall of the Wengcheng, but they were all blocked by the tortoise array, and the tortoise array approached the gate of the Wengcheng little by little.

On the tower of Wengcheng, after Cao Hong saw this situation, he turned to Xun Yu and said, "Don't drive my lord, what should we do now?"

Xun Yu frowned tightly, but also had nothing to do with the tortoise array. The weapons used to defend against the enemy were all piled up on the tower of Zhuquemen. People withdrew into the urn city, hoping to use this to snipe the enemy and stick to the city.

However, when Xun Yu saw the appearance of the tortoise formation, he could immediately understand what these people were doing. They were hiding under the wall of shields, and they must be holding the powerful "Fire Thunder" and trying to attack again. Blast open the city gate.

"Don't worry, my lord, these people must want to break through the city gate. The Suzaku Gate is gone, and the gate of Wengcheng must not be lost again!" Seeing that Xun Yu was indifferent, Cao Hong said anxiously.

Xun Yu said: "You are right, the Wengcheng must not be allowed to fall again, we must defend the Wengcheng at all costs!"

As soon as the words fell, Xun Yu glanced at the slowly moving tortoise array under the Urn City, turned his head and said to Cao Hong: "General Cao, please lead the cavalry to break through them, and I will command the archers to shoot them all!"

"Here!" Cao Hong responded, turned around and went down the city tower, summoned fifty cavalrymen, mounted their horses with their guns, and ordered someone to open the city gate.

At this time, the archers on the wall of Wengcheng also stopped shooting. Under Xun Yu's command, a thousand archers were all ready to shoot, aiming at the turtle formation.

The gate of the Wengcheng was suddenly opened. Cao Hong took the lead and rushed out of the gate of the Wengcheng. Killed out.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Cao Hong's war horse directly hit the tortoise formation, knocking the forward moving tortoise formation to the ground. The shield formation was immediately scattered by the impact, and a group of people were on their backs.

Before those who had fallen to the ground got up, a thousand archers saw the right moment on the wall of the Weng City and shot their arrows out one after another.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A series of arrows roared towards the soldiers of the Han army who formed the tortoise array. Seventy or eighty soldiers out of a hundred soldiers were shot by the arrows, and their bodies were full of arrows, and they died immediately. The soldiers were not spared either, they were all killed by Cao Hong and the cavalry led by Cao Hong.

In just a moment, one hundred daredevils of the Han army were wiped out, and one hundred thunderbolts rolled directly to the ground.

At this moment, a soldier of the Han army who was not completely dead held a torch and wanted to ignite a thunderbolt beside him, but was discovered by Cao Hong. He resigned with one shot and directly stabbed the soldier to death. A hundred thunderbolts None of the bombs were ignited.

"Fire arrows!"

Zhang Yan, who was in the entrance of Zhuquemen, was very angry after seeing such a scene, and immediately ordered the archers to release arrows, but when they heard more than 200 strings, the arrows shot out quickly.

When Cao Hong saw the enemy's arrows coming, he immediately ordered to retreat. At the same time, he hid himself in a stirrup, clinging tightly to the side of the horse, and rushed towards the urn city.

The rest of the cavalry also retreated one after another, but more than a dozen cavalrymen were killed by arrows and were shot off their horses.

When Cao Hong was running away, he happened to see a thunderbolt falling on the ground. With a stretch of his long arm, he picked up the thunderbolt and quickly entered the city.

When Cao Hong and others fled into the Wengcheng, the city gate was tightly closed. Zhang Yan saw that the gate of the Wengcheng was closed, and the archers on the city wall were still waiting in full force, and he lost another hundred daredevils. Sergeant, his lungs are about to explode.

Zhang Yan was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Sure enough, Zhang Yan gave up his plan to attack the city with thunderbolts, because after the fuse of the thunderbolt was ignited, it would be easily blown out by the wind during high-speed operation, so the possibility of projecting thunderbolts towards the city was cancelled. .So, Zhang Yan thought of the old method, throwing stones!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan immediately sternly said to the herald beside him: "Order Gao Shun, push the catapult to the edge of the moat, let the soldiers go outside to find the boulder, and attack the Urn City fiercely!"

However, Zhang Yan's attack was not single. He then ordered Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao to push out of the Suzaku Gate and lead their subordinates to other gates of Yecheng, preparing to attack Yecheng at the same time. As a result, as long as one city gate is breached, his army can enter Yecheng, thereby reducing the pressure on the other city gates.

After Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao received the order, they immediately left Suzaku Gate and went to Qinglong Gate, Baihu Gate and Xuanwu Gate respectively.

The army gathered outside the Suzaku Gate was divided into four. Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao each took away 1 people. Gao Shun commanded the soldiers to push the catapults to the side of the moat, and then asked the soldiers to adjust the positions of the catapults, and Let the rear army send the required boulders, and at the same time send two detachments of 1000 people to search for the boulders nearby, and then pull them over by horse-drawn cart.

After Cao Hong returned to Wengcheng, he jumped off his horse immediately, took a thunderbolt and went up to the tower with a happy expression on his face, and said to Xun Yu, "Don't drive my lord, look, Huolei!"

After Xun Yu saw it, he was taken aback and asked, "Where did you get it?"

"I picked it up under the city."

Xun Yu hurriedly took it over and played with it carefully, but found nothing unusual. He threw the Thunderbolt to Cao Hong and said, "Take it immediately and go to the Weapons Department to find Master Wang, and ask Master Wang to dismantle it." , See if you can imitate it!"

"Here!"

Cao Hong quickly got down from the tower, mounted his horse, and went straight to the Weapons Division...
