Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 498 Chencang Offensive and Defensive Battle

Ma Chao led his troops back in a disastrous defeat, and the morale of the Qin army's vanguard was greatly affected, but this still couldn't stop Cheng Yu from leading his troops to storm Chen Cang the next day.

Chen Cang is the most important thing in Yongliang area. Compared with Ma Chao, Cheng Yu is more interested in Chen Cang.As long as this place can be taken down, it will be enough to hold back the Jin army.No matter how many troops the Jin State sent to Yongliang, they would be put at a disadvantage by the fall of Chencang.

Under the Chencang pass, there are densely packed human heads outside the two cuts in the distance, and the soldiers of Qin State are ready to charge at any time.

Cheng Yu, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu led the troops at the forefront, and only Ma Chao was angry with Guo Huai, the guard of Chencang, because his confidant, Ma Wan, had been trapped in the Chencang pass last night.

The spring breeze blew on Ma Chao's face, but it didn't make him feel any better. Instead, his expression became even more frightening.It used to be like a spring breeze, but now Ma Chao has become a vicious spirit, as if at any moment an evil spirit will come out of Ma Chao's body and kill Chen Cang.

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and said, "General Ma Chao, don't be in a hurry. Even if we can't conquer Chencang today, we will definitely be able to conquer it within five days. We have a large number of troops, so we are not afraid that we will not be able to defeat them!"

Compared to Ma Chao's aggressiveness, Cheng Yu was more calm, but he also decided to launch a strong attack.The first round of offensive was carried out by Zhang Xiu, and the [-] troops immediately began to prepare to attack the city. They were responsible for removing the traps and defensive facilities closed by Chencang City one by one, so as to ensure that the subsequent siege could proceed smoothly.

"Soldiers, get ready, charge in half a minute! Beat the drums!" Zhang Xiu directly ordered the drums to cheer, and kept motivating the morale of the arrows to mobilize their fighting power.

Ma Chao and Cheng Yu waited quietly on the sidelines. After Zhang Xiu's first round of attack was over, it was Ma Chao's second round of attack.

Guo Huai could see clearly from the tower of Chencang City, it was obvious that the first round of strong attack was coming.This first round of strong attack was also the only defensive battle in which Chen Cang's defenders could suppress the strength of Qin's army, but the price was that all defensive facilities and traps under the city would be cleared.Afterwards, the Qin army was able to reach the city in one fell swoop after attacking the city. At that time, it was hand-to-hand combat.

Guo Huai squinted his eyes, coughed a few times, and said, "Let the archers make preparations, and start shooting when the enemy is about to enter the range! Don't worry about the consumption of arrows, as long as you don't use the arrows that match the Qin crossbow." . Qin Nu is our only hole card, I want to make good use of it.”

Guo Huai showed a dark smile. Although his military strength was not as good as Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, he kept me guarding the city gate.

Hao Zhao frowned on the side. He was very good at defensive battles, but he also thought that this battle was really difficult to fight.

Zhang Xiu mobilized the morale of the vanguard army. Seeing that the time was almost up, he yelled and ordered: "Brothers, take down Chen Cang, let's go to Chen Cang City to eat delicious food and drink spicy food! Give me all of them, don't be afraid, I will fight for you from behind." You beat the drums!"

With an order, Zhang Xiu's elite soldiers charged directly towards the Chencang Tower.

"Go on!"

"Go! For the glory of Yizhou Erlang, go!"

"Let these thieves from the state of Jin also take a look at the majesty of our heroes in Yizhou, so they can't lose their morale."

……

The soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command were full of enthusiasm, their combat effectiveness soared, and their morale was also extremely high.After all, Zhang Xiu was also a soldier who had led troops in Liangzhou for many years, and he was also a disciple of the Spear King Tong Yuan, so naturally he couldn't lose his morale.

Seeing the ferocity of the enemy army, the soldiers on the Chencang tower were a little scared, but most of the Jin elite were not afraid of death.Because they knew that their death in battle was not a pity, and the Jin State pension was enough to allow their families to live a good life.It is precisely because of the pension that the soldiers of the Jin State can basically fight desperately without mobilizing their morale.

Hao Zhao took a deep breath, clenched the spear in his hand, and ordered: "Start shooting arrows! Shoot arrows at the vanguard of the enemy army and shoot them back!"

Hao Zhao directly ordered the soldiers to move into the room and reduce the charge speed of the Qin army's vanguard.

"what!"

"The enemy is about to shoot arrows, run!"

"Don't be afraid, just rush over and dismantle the trap!"

The soldiers of Qin dodged the arrows one after another, and the brave lieutenant led his troops to face the arrows and dismantle the traps and defensive facilities in front of them.

Hundreds of Qin soldiers fell because of the arrows, but they were also exchanged for the sweeping of the defense facilities.

"I'm really not afraid of death! It seems that this time, it's really not easy." Hao Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He thought he was good at defending the city, but he also thought that Chen Cang might be captured this time.

Guo Huai had long expected that Chen Cang might fall, so he just asked Guo Huai, "How long do you think we can defend? Three days, can we hold it? And within these three days, can we keep five?" Thousand Qin Army?"

Hearing General Guo Huai's question, Hao Zhao took a deep breath and thought for a while before saying, "It is not impossible to guard for three days, it depends on whether the Qin army will continue to attack day and night. If they only attack during the day, they can guard Four days. It is not difficult to kill Qin's [-] troops."

After hearing Hao Zhao's words, Guo Huai became more confident, because his purpose was not to stick to Chencang.As long as Qin Guo pays enough, it doesn't matter if Chen Cang is lost.

"Okay! Then use Qin Nu and the Thousand Machine Crossbow directly! There is a Thousand Machine Crossbow in Chencang, and there is no hand-to-hand combat yet, and the Thousand Machine Crossbow can be very useful. When the tower is about to be conquered, destroy all Qin Nu And the Thousand Machine Crossbow, you can't leave it to the Qin State!" Guo Huai also wanted to be ruthless and decisive, so he directly used the small trump card of the Jin State, the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

The range and power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow are astonishing, and it can basically limit the speed of the enemy's charge and siege.When the speed drops, the enemy can be caught in a dilemma.It is much easier to defend the city, and it is convenient to expel the enemy.

A thousand-machine crossbow was slowly pushed to the position of the shooting platform, and the huge arrow was carried onto the crossbow by five soldiers, and at the same time, part of the black powder was tied to it.

This is all the black powder that Xu Rong can control, which he borrowed from the White Robe Army before.

Every leader of the Jin army can master some core cards, and black powder is one.It's just that Han Wu controlled the black powder very well. Apart from allowing Zheng He and Qi Jiguang to use it overseas to determine its power, he did not allow any soldier to control too much black powder.

Black gunpowder, which has not been well researched, is still a taboo in the era of cold weapons. Han Wu also needs to estimate the casualties of battles and the control of power. Naturally, he cannot equip frontier soldiers with too many such things.

Whoosh!
There was an ear-piercing sound of piercing through the air, and the arrows of the huge crossbow were shot out, and they burned in the air.

These black powders are not perfect, and it is difficult to reach the extreme point of explosion, but the heat generated by air friction is enough to ignite the black powders.

boom!
The arrows of the crossbow machine fell to the ground, and a sea of ​​flames suddenly formed, and the Chencang city was filled with flames.

It's kerosene!Hao Zhao ordered that the outside of the city be filled with kerosene in advance, and now as long as there is a spark, the whole city will become a sea of ​​flames.
