Chapter 492

After several rounds of crossbow attack, although it did not cause too much damage to Xianbei soldiers, it still destroyed a lot of shields. The soldiers who lost their shields either rushed forward directly or ran under other shields beside them. In this way, the people in each shield were full. In the face of this situation, Huang Xu of the city would not miss the opportunity and immediately ordered the archers to attack. Under the baptism of the rain of arrows, the casualties of the soldiers who lost their shields increased rapidly, and the number of casualties increased rapidly The archers on the well appendix mainly attack the archers in Xianbei soldiers.

After the attack team of Xianbei soldiers entered the range of 80 steps, the bed crossbow at the head of the city had to stop attacking, because it had exceeded its attack distance. Without the attack of bed crossbow, the morale of Xianbei people seemed to rise a little bit, and the attack speed was accelerated by one point. Although many shields have been destroyed, most of the Xianbei archers are protected by shields, and the archers on both sides begin to shoot at each other.

With the protection of their own archers, the soldiers of Xianbei soon attacked the city. At one time, dozens of long ladders reached the top of the city wall. Unfortunately, because there were no craftsmen, half of the long ladders could not reach the height of the city wall. Nevertheless, more than 30 long ladders reached the top of the city. Soon, some soldiers attacked the city wall one after another, After two days, Xianbei soldiers attacked the wall of tangtougou pass for the first time.

Huang Xu had already estimated that he was ready. The archer had retreated to the back part of the wall. The soldiers in front of him were sword shield soldiers and long spearmen, and the archers did not stop attacking. Instead, the archers at the head of the city were shooting at the bottom of the city. On the contrary, the senior archers at the top of the well still aimed at Xianbei archer. On the contrary, because the soldiers had already attacked the head of the city, the archers at the bottom of the city Only a few elite archers are shooting.

After half an hour's attack, the soldiers of Xianbei who attacked the head of the city were finally weak. They watched the soldiers attack the head of the city continuously, but the position of the head of the city did not expand at all. Fu mengcha of the Chinese Army knew that this round of attack had failed, but he had to order to retreat. Soon, the retreat horn of Xianbei people sounded on the battlefield. Within a moment, the Xianbei people at the head of the city and under the city retreated completely. Even the wounded on the battlefield were mostly taken away by the retreating soldiers.

Seeing that the Xianbei people had finally retreated, Huang Xu immediately made arrangements to clean the battlefield at the head of the city, count the casualties, and rescue the wounded soldiers. Now he can't care about the wounded soldiers of Xianbei soldiers in the city. This round of attack caused nearly 600 casualties to tangtougouguan, while Xianbei people left 3000 bodies. Huang Xugang had the injured soldiers transported down the wall, and Xianbei's second round of attack began. At this time, it was getting late, and it would be dark in less than two hours. Huang Xu knew that Xianbei would be more fully prepared for this round of attack.

Sure enough, after fighting back this round of attack, Huang Xu found that although he tried his best to avoid greater losses, the final result was that the casualties reached more than 700, and the Xianbei people also left 4000 under the city. If we calculate in this way, there will be basically no loss in the first two days in Longhua, but 1700 casualties in the third day.

At present, there are 12000 soldiers in Longhua Town and baihugou pass, and there are 2000 new soldiers in baihugou town and baihugou pass. In one day, the loss has reached nearly 20%. Although half of them can recover after recuperation and treatment, it will be ten days and eight days later. That is to say, there will be only 8000 soldiers in tangtougou pass tomorrow There's no one left. After discussing with Tian Yu, Huang Xu decided to recruit another 3000 soldiers in Longhua. However, after two conscriptions, only 15000 people were left in the two towns of Longhua, where the population of ordinary people had already reached 23000. Among them, there were less than 5000 young and strong people, and the rest were old, weak and Confucian.

One thousand of the newly recruited 3000 soldiers were sent to baihugou town to replace the original 2000 soldiers to Longhua, while the remaining 2000 were arranged to operate bed crossbows and catapults. As a result, the number of taxi drivers in tangtougou has reached 12000, which is 2000 more than the previous 10000, but in terms of quality, alas, it's all tears.

After recruiting soldiers, they arranged to install all kinds of equipment in place overnight. After a few days, there were 40 catapults, two more Jinglan, and five more bed crossbows. After installing all these, it was late in the night. After Huang Xu went to the city wall for another tour, he had a rest in the tower above the city wall for two hours Chen.

When the battle of tangtougouguan was in full swing, the battle of Lulong fortress also began.

As an adult of Xianbei in the East, Suli had some ability. When the army arrived at Lulong fortress, Suli immediately arranged for people to cut wood to make various siege equipment. After half a day's preparation, Suli began to attack Lulong fortress. Compared with the partial division of fumengcha, Suli's attack was like a storm. As soon as the war started, Party A became white hot.

Facing the Gongsun Zan army of Lulong fortress, Suli put 30000 soldiers into the attack at one time, and the unexpected Gongsun Zan almost made the Xianbei Army stand on the fortress. Fortunately, general Baima, who had been fighting for a long time, responded quickly. He quickly transferred the soldiers in the pass to the city. He personally led the number of soldiers of the single king to fight against the enemy, and finally drove the Xianbei people out of the city. Then Guan Jing immediately directed the rotation of the soldiers to take over the city quickly to prevent the Xianbei people from carrying out the second round attack immediately.Sure enough, the Xianbei army retreated less than a pillar of incense time, and the second round of attack was as promised. Seeing that the Xianbei people attacked like crazy, Guan Jing immediately suggested Gongsun Zan to transfer the strange people and their soldiers to the city to help guard the pass, while Gongsun Zan's own soldiers could make more room for rotation. Gongsun Zan immediately agreed to divide all the players and the players' soldiers into several parts, and then transferred them to the city in turn to participate in the city defense. He also divided his own soldiers into several parts, led by several generals, and also took turns to defend the city wall.

In this way, after several rounds of offensive and defensive battles, the Lulong fortress is still as solid as a rock, and is properly controlled by Gongsun Zan. However, a day of fierce fighting caused heavy casualties on both sides. Gongsun Zan's army lost more than 4000 people because of the first round of attack. In addition to the next battle, at the end of the day, the army lost more than 8000 people, while Xianbei's army lost more.
