Chapter 493

Seeing that the loss in one day has reached nearly 20%, Gongsun Zan feels that he must be prepared for greater losses. After discussing with Guan Jing, he ordered Gongsun fan and Tian Kai, who were left in the two counties, to recruit 20000 more soldiers in each county. Meanwhile, he concentrated the elite soldiers in the two counties, and the newly recruited soldiers were used to guard the county, so as to deal with the various situations that the two counties might face.

Both wars had begun, and Gongsun Yue's army had reached 150 miles south of tangtougouguan. On the one hand, six thousand cavalry are not worth mentioning in front of one hundred thousand cavalry; on the other hand, after the three men of the iron cavalry handed over 20000 soldiers and tens of thousands of players to a group of player generals, they rode fast and caught up with Gongsun Yue with strict military orders. Seeing that there were tens of thousands of troops behind them, Gongsun Yue set up camp on the spot, waiting for the army behind him, while waiting Let people explore the situation of tangtougouguan.

Originally, Longhua's role was to delay and kill the Xianbei army. If Longhua and Xianbei army were defeated, Gongsun Zan's forces would be most happy to see that. If Longhua could take the lead, Gongsun Yue's 6000 cavalry would surely become the last straw to crush the camel. However, once Longhua was difficult to support, Gongsun Yue would quickly lead the Liubei army Thousands of cavalry returned to junmi, even to the Great Wall checkpoint.

Gongsun Zan's idea is known not only by his generals, but also by Huangfu Chaobo people. Therefore, it is gratifying that Huangfu Chaobo was able to keep the order of Huang Xu in Longhua. If he can't keep it, he should withdraw the important generals and craftsmen to youbeiping as far as possible. There is no need to fill in all his efforts for gongsunzan.

The next day, the battle in front of the two passes came as promised. Before tangtougou pass, some of the people in fumengcha felt that after three days of fighting, they had basically understood the situation of tangtougou pass, so they were ready to attack with all their strength today, so as to win here as soon as possible, and then continue to March South and approach youbeiping, so as to achieve the goal of containing Gongsun Zan's troops.

Unfortunately, a few people did not expect that there are still several maces in the pass that have not been used up to now.

In today's stalemate in the first round of attack, fmonca, who thinks he is in the grip of victory, did not order to retreat. Instead, he ordered the second wave of attack troops to attack the city. Huang Xu on the head of the city saw that Xianbei wanted to go down at one stroke, and immediately ordered the catapult to be ready for projection.

After loading the catapult last night, Tian Yu had secretly ordered the craftsmen and soldiers to test the catapult, and then made adjustments according to the test results. Only when Huang xuchengtou ordered it, the catapult would be ready to throw stones. The attack distance of the small catapult ranged from 120 to 150 steps. Because the catapult was located behind tangtougou pass, Tian Yu set the attack distance of the catapult to the farthest 150 steps, and each catapult was calibrated. In this way, 30 catapults almost covered the whole area about 120 steps before the pass.

Seeing that reinforcements had been sent out behind him, the morale of Xianbei soldiers in the attack was greatly boosted, while the morale of the city's garrison was slightly damaged. The defense line retreated a little bit. Huang Xu saw this, and quickly transferred two thousand men to the city from the bottom of the city. However, although the defense line was stabilized, there was no order to drive the Xianbei soldiers above the city wall down. Now that the second wave had been sent out, So Huang Xu wants to take this opportunity to hit Xianbei people again. After all, everything is under his control now.

Soon, inspired by the backward movement of the defense line at the head of the city, the second wave of siege soldiers under the city speeded up their march, and soon reached a distance of 120 steps. Huang Xu sees that Xianbei soldiers have arrived at the reserved area. After a few breaths, he orders the catapult to attack.

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

"Hum..."

"Hum..."

"Hum..."

。。。

For a moment, thirty stones of the size of a millstone flew over the whole pass, whistling toward the place more than 100 steps before the pass. The whistling sound caused by the flying stone attracted everyone's attention. Several Xianbei generals closed the door and screamed: "throw the stone!"

Unfortunately, it was too late for the taxi drivers to hear their voices. Thirty dark shadows came down from the sky with a roar.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

Huge clouds of dust rose from the battlefield, and from time to time there were bursts of shrill screams. Thirty huge catapults didn't stop immediately after they fell into the middle of Xianbei soldiers. Instead, they continued to roll forward with great momentum. All the way, those who blocked them put on their banners, pressing out blood routes more terrifying than crossbows.

"Ah, the catapult Behind the battlefield, all the other Xianbei generals in the middle of Xianbei army, who were watching the battle, exclaimed. Fu mengcha and Yu Wencheng looked at each other and saw the fear from each other's eyes. They didn't expect that there were so many catapults in each other's eyes. Damn it, Fu mengcha wanted to recall the second Bosi soldier who had been sent out, but Yu Wencheng stopped him. This kind of situation was so serious In this case, it's very difficult to save these two waves of taxi soldiers. Instead of doing so, it's better to fight to the death. Maybe it will work wonders.Thus, the Xianbei army sounded the bugle of attack again.

Hearing the bugle from the enemy, Huang Xu knew that the other side was ready to use more than 10000 soldiers. So he immediately ordered the catapult to replace the stones. At the same time, he also called up 1000 crossbow soldiers who had not been involved in guarding the city. Not only that, he also called up 1000 shield soldiers to the city to prepare for the crazy attack of Xianbei people.

After hearing the attack horn from the Chinese army, two waves of more than 10000 Xianbei soldiers suddenly went crazy and tried their best to attack the city. It's a pity that the catapult has already been replaced with crushed stones, and the overwhelming rain of stones is falling from the sky. Although Xianbei soldiers try to quickly pass through the dangerous area covered by the catapult, it's a pity that only a few lucky people in the front have entered the safe area because they escaped the attack of the first wave of catapults. It's the taxi soldiers in the back who are interested in it It's like rushing to death, rushing towards the stone rain one after another.

From time to time, the blood mist splashed in the crowd of Xianbei soldiers, which gave off a strange red in the sun. In the end, more than 60% of Xianbei soldiers rushed through the attack range of the catapult, but this did not mean that they were safe. On the contrary, there were more cruel crossbows waiting for them. Under Huang Xu's order, 25 bed crossbows were fired within the range of Baibu.
