Chapter 328 Flying stones against Thunderbolt Cars show their power
Chapter 327: Flying stones show their power against Thunderbolt Car
If you want to break through Hulao Pass, you must first fill the moat.
Under Xiang Yan''s command, the Yellow Turban soldiers teamed up in two groups, one holding a shield in front, the other hid in carrying a sandbag, and rushed towards Hulao Pass in the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, Qin Qiong, who was at Hulao Pass, saw a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly ordered to stop blocking arrows and said to Qin Zheng and Qin Hu on the left and right: "Send the order down, and wait until the enemy enters the attack range, release the lightning stone first and bows and arrows behind."
"Get orders." The two of them responded together, and then quickly went down to make arrangements.
The Yellow Turbans were very prepared to attack the city, and the Han army was also prepared to defend the city, and there was no shortage of materials to defend the city. As soon as the Yellow Turban soldiers approached, they immediately "break the defense", and then thousands of arrows were fired at once.
There were constant screams on the battlefield, and the Yellow Turbans'' attack was not smooth. The casualties were heavy in the first step. However, Xiang Yan, as the commander, looked calm, as if the one who died was not the soldiers under his command.
"Push up the well railing and the catapult to cover the army''s actions." Xiang Yan said lightly.
In the Yellow Turban Army formation, rows of huge objects slowly drove out. Qin Qiong saw this and immediately said in a deep voice: "Tell the stone-populated troops to prepare for defending the city."
After receiving the military order, Liu Ye couldn''t help but show excitement. It was finally time to test the power of the new catapult.
The Han army''s stone-cat troops were very fast. Before the new formation of the Yellow Turban Army was fully launched, fifty new catapults were ready on the city tower.
After seeing this scene, Xiang Yan finally showed a solemn look, and then returned to the Yellow Turban Formation to meet Zhang Jiao, saying, "Good teacher, the information is wrong. The Han army is not only extremely prepared, but also has a catapult. If you want to take the Hulao Pass head-on, you may have to pay a huge price. Why not stand by on time and wait for the opportunity."
Zhang Jiao''s face darkened and sighed, "Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. As long as that plan can be implemented smoothly, no matter how big the price is, it will be a must. Brother Yan, please, you will do your best to conquer the city at all costs."
"I will never let my trust."
With Zhang Jiao''s support, Xiang Yan no longer had any taboos and immediately issued an order to use the corpse to transfer the moat at all costs.
Under the sniper of the Han army, the first 10,000 team of the Yellow Turban team soon lost more than 2,000 troops. The second 10,000 team of the Yellow Turban team was also ready. Under the cover of the well railing and the catapult, it launched another attack on Hulao Pass.
Liu Ye looked into the distance and secretly calculated in his heart.
"We are condescending, and this distance can already attack the enemy''s catapult cart. Once the Yellow Turban loses the catapult cart, they can only be beaten passively."
After letting go of the Yellow Turban infantry phalanx, when the Yellow Turban catapult officially entered the range of the Han army catapult, Liu Ye immediately ordered and shouted: "The catapult troops are ready, and the enemy''s left wing will be gathered in the first round, let it go!"
With Liu Ye''s order, the scene of thousands of stones being released in an instant was staged at the Hulao Pass. The scene was extremely spectacular, and even some of the attacking Yellow Turban soldiers were stunned.
“Boom…boom…boom…boom…boom…”
The Yellow Turban Stone Cast troops obviously did not expect that the Han army''s catapult could eject the stone so far, and the left wing was completely unprepared and was instantly devastating.
"Why did the Han army''s catapult cart throw so far?"
"This range is almost half of our army!"
"How can I fight this battle? Even the throwing cart can''t get close to the city wall."
The total number of catapults of the Yellow Turban Army was much more than that of the Han army, with a total of about 150, and Xiang Yan brought out fifty catapults this time. There were already a lot of fifty catapults. The Han army had only fifty catapults in total. I thought they could make contributions, but before they even arrived at the city, the left wing was severely damaged. About a dozen catapults were smashed, and it was obviously impossible to use them.
After seeing this scene, Zhang Jiao couldn''t help but sigh: "The people from Baijia are indeed unreliable."
The catapult cart has long been no longer in the formal organization of the Han army. There are not even a few craftsmen who can build catapult carts in the entire Han army. Now the catapult carts in the Han army are farther than the Mohists who specialize in military equipment. What does this mean?
Obviously, the hundreds of schools are not united. Some people secretly help the Han Dynasty, unwilling to see Zhang Jiao, or in other words, they are unwilling to see the civilians achieve the final victory.
"Transfer all the remaining 100 catapults to General Xiang."
Zhang Jiao said lightly: "Since the quality is not comparable, we have to make up for it in quantity."
At the Yellow Turban Command Center ahead, Xiang Yan showed anger on his face, pulled a soldier over, shouted in a low voice, "Go to the great wise mentor quickly, put..."
"Report to the commander, the great wise mentor has sent people to deliver 100 catapults."
"That''s great, I''m not afraid of the Han army."
With the arrival of support from the rear, more than 100 catapults were scattered in front of Hulao Pass. The reason why Xiang Yan did not dare to let the catapults gather together was naturally because he was afraid of being caught by the Han army.
The catapult is clumsy and slow, while the Han army''s catapult has a longer range and is still condescending.
If the Yellow Turban Army''s catapults were gathered together, they would probably be destroyed by the enemy''s flying stones before they reached the corner of the city.
Only when it is scattered can the losses be minimized.
Xiang Yan''s dispersed tactics caused great trouble to Liu Ye, but based on the idea that mosquitoes are still fleshy, Liu Ye still did as much harm to the Yellow Turban as possible.
The first day of the city defense basically ended around a showdown between catapults.
There were 150 Yellow Turbans, and in the end there were less than 70, while the Han army lost only five, and the Yellow Turbans were completely defeated.
However, although Feishi was completely at a disadvantage in the battle, Xiang Yan achieved his strategic goal.
In this battle, Xiang Yan used hundreds of thousands of sandbags and the bodies of 15,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to fill the moat of Hulao Pass, which also paved the way for the siege behind him.
"The Yellow Turbans killed 15,000 people in the battle, and rewarded 15,000 war points. 150 summoning points have been redeemed. The host currently has 410 summoning points."
Qin Hao is not the leader of the Yanmen Army now, so he must command the battle himself to get a reward. However, Qin Qiong is a general summoned by Qin Hao and has a camp with Qin Hao, so his military achievements naturally come to Qin Hao.
But if Qin Wen asked Qin Zheng or Qin Hu as the city lord general, Qin Hao would not get the reward, which is one of the reasons why Qin Hao did not object to Qin Qiong as the head general.
This decisive battle is a life-and-death battle for the Han Dynasty, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Qin Hao. Think about the fact that the Yellow Turbans have a million troops, how many summon points are there?
It is naturally impossible to win all of them, but some of them are also an extremely huge number for Qin Hao, which is enough for Qin Hao to summon a pillar that can support a country.
"It''s so satisfying to receive rewards while sitting." Qin Hao said in his heart: "Xiang Yan is worthy of being a famous general of Chu. His vision is really vicious. He filled the moat on the first day, but the horror of Hulao Pass does not lie in the moat."
Thank you for your rewards from Mengmei III and xstst, thank you for your support.
