- [Thanks to book friend "diguoshid" for the tip! ¡¿
By the way, Cao Ang and Bao Zhong set up camp and had nothing to do, so Cao Ang secretly took Liao Hua and other 20 cavalrymen to the foot of Sishui Pass to watch Sun Jian's siege show.
Let us say that Sun Jian was wearing a battered silver armor, a red turban on his head, an ancient ingot knife in his hand, and a horse with a colorful mane under his crotch. He led more than ten thousand troops out of the camp with generals such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao. Fighting at Sishui Pass.
Then I heard Sun Jian shout loudly: "Hu Zhenpifu, if you haven't surrendered early, when will you wait?!"
Hu Zhen on the city shouted loudly: "Wucheng Hou, the court has treated you well, why did you raise an army to cause chaos without authorization?! Hurry up and get off your horse, and capture you without mercy. For the sake of your past military exploits, I, Hu Zhen, guarantee your future!" "
"Bah!" Sun Jian shouted loudly: "Dong Zhuo is an evil thief who usurps the power of the government and is good at talking about abolishing the establishment. The whole world is outraged!"
The more they quarreled, the more addicted they became. Their voices got louder and louder, and the tune got higher and higher. Soon they were so tired that they could only breathe heavily and drink water in big gulps.
At the end, Sun Jian was heard shouting in a hoarse voice: "Hu Zhen, if you have the guts, come out of seclusion. Let's show off!"
Hu Zhen shouted loudly: "Who can't tell lies? Sun Jian, if you dare, attack the city!"
"If you dare, come out of seclusion!"
"If you dare, attack the city!"
¡¡
"If you dare, come out of seclusion!"
"If you dare, attack the city!"
¡¡
Liao Hua yawned and whispered: "It's so boring! They are both famous generals. Why are they arguing like children? It's so boring! Lord, let's see what they are arguing about. I mean, it¡¯s better to go back to camp and sleep!¡±
Cao Ang said in a low voice: "Yuan Jian, you have to concentrate and look carefully, don't be fooled by these superficial phenomena! Although Sun Jian has been bickering, his men are not idle. Not only did they bring up many long ladders, they even attacked the city. A special ladder was also pushed up. Looking at Hu Zhen, although he was still cursing on the city tower, don't you think there are a lot of people missing on the city top now! Those civilian laborers who carried equipment, rolled stones and knocked trees have completed their tasks. Everyone has gone down to the city. It is estimated that a battle will break out between their two armies soon!"
As soon as Cao Ang finished speaking, Sun Jian waved his hand violently, and Cheng Pu and others immediately led the army to rush forward. The most eye-catching thing was the four ladders that had just been pushed to the front. It can be seen that these ladders were hurriedly made by Sun Jian's troops last night. Many parts still have bark, branches and leaves on them.
Hu Zhen also shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Hearing Hu Zhen¡¯s order, the defenders on the city quickly raised their bows and arrows, aimed at the sky, and fired three times in succession. The arrow flew and flew. After it reached the top, it drew a parabola and rushed downward diagonally, getting faster and faster!
Han Dang, who was leading the charge, quickly shouted: "Raise your shield! Raise your shield!"
The soldiers quickly raised the wooden shields in their hands and held them diagonally upward in front of their heads. He saw arrows hitting the wooden shield constantly, making constant impact sounds. Even though a large number of wooden shields were prepared before the battle, basically one for each person, many arrows rushed through the gaps in the wooden shields and nailed the soldiers hard.
The soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, losing the protection of their shields. The arrows that followed quickly pinned them to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Han Dang shouted loudly: "Protect yourself and rush forward. It will be safe if you rush over!" While shouting, Han Dang held his shield high and strode forward. Arrows continued to hit Han Dang's shield, making a clanging sound, but Han Dang didn't stop at all and just rushed forward.
Under his leadership, more and more soldiers rushed over carrying long ladders, and were about to rush to the bottom of the Sishui Pass.
Sun Jian nervously grabbed the reins in his hands and tightened them. He did not dare to look at the soldiers lying on the ground. He just shouted: "Quick, quick, quick!"
Huang Gai, who was in charge of commanding the ladder, also turned around with a wooden shield and shouted to his men: "Pull hard, pull hard, rush to the pass, we will win!"
More than two hundred strong soldiers held up wooden shields and long ropes, dragging the four ladders towards the city wall. Just listen to the gurgling sound of the ladder's wheels on the ground, crushing the dust, crushing the corpses of the war dead, and even crushing the seriously wounded people lying on the ground unable to escape to death!
Seeing Jiangdong's army getting closer and closer to the city, and guessing that they had rushed into the effective shooting range of the archers, Hu Zhen shouted: "Free fire!"
After hearing his order, the archers immediately stopped shooting, aimed at the Jiangdong Army soldiers below through the crenel, and fired quickly.
Many soldiers of the Jiangdong Army kept holding their shields upwards, although they were effectivelyHe caught the thrown bow and arrow, but also exposed the area below his chest. Hu Zhen's troops suddenly changed their shooting methods, and large numbers of Jiangdong Army soldiers were completely unprepared and were hit by arrows one after another!
Even Han Dang was hit by an arrow in the leg, but as a general in the army, he wore armor made of fine iron, and his defensive power was far greater than that of ordinary soldiers. Although the arrow hit Han Dang's thigh, it did not penetrate the armor's defense and only made a small groove in it. Although Han Dang was staggered by the impact, he was basically uninjured and still hit the head.
At this time, some soldiers had already rushed up with long ladders and leaned the long ladders against the wall of Guancheng. The soldiers of Hu Zhen's command on Guancheng quickly pushed hard against the long ladders, trying to overturn them; but the soldiers of Han Dang's command below the city were unwilling. Several people pressed hard on the bottom of the long ladders, and some clever guys stepped on them. The long and shaky ladder rushed upward.
Zhao Cen shouted loudly on the city: "Let go of the rolling stones and wood!"
After hearing his order, the soldiers in the city organized themselves into groups. Two or three soldiers worked together to lift the wood and smash it in the direction of the long ladder.
The Jiangdong Army soldier who was climbing up the long ladder screamed. His head was bruised and bloody, his bones and tendons were broken by the wood. He fell to the ground wailing, twitched a few times, and died. Even Han Dang was knocked down from the ladder by Sumu. Fortunately, he landed on the pile of corpses and limped to the side.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who were holding the ladder nearby also had a hard time. They were either hit by rolling stones or wood, or shot by archers on the city. Many soldiers fell down next to almost every long ladder.
However, the efforts of the soldiers were not in vain, and their sacrifices were not let down. During the time that the soldiers had sacrificed their lives for, Huang Gai finally commanded the ladder troops to rush forward.
Following Huang Gai¡¯s order, the soldiers tightened the thick rope on the ladder, pulled up the ladder on the back, and slammed it onto the opposite wall, kicking up a large amount of dust. And with this downward force, the iron claws inlaid on the ladder slammed into the wall. Even if the defenders on the city tried hard to pry and smash, they couldn't get it off!
As soon as the ladder was set up, Cheng Pu's troops who were following behind the ladder rushed up, stepping on the ladder and rushing up. Moreover, all the archers of Jiangdong Army gave up their original targets and fired arrows at the exit of the ladder!
At this moment, Hu Zhen¡¯s soldiers at the crenel opposite the ladder had been shot to pieces. Cheng Pu roared and was the first to rush to the city!
At this time, the Jiangdong Army archers under the city were afraid of accidental damage, so they had to stop shooting and move their targets to other directions. Taking this opportunity, Hu Zhen quickly sent reinforcements and rushed over through the gap.
Cheng Pu used an iron-spine snake spear to poke and smash, and he was stunned to guard the three crenels with his own strength. Just behind him, more and more soldiers rushed up from the gap!
Sun Jian burst out laughing excitedly, and Liao Hua, who had been watching the battle attentively, couldn't help shouting: "Well done, Sun Jian has taken Sishui Pass!"
Cao Ang shook his head slightly. Although he had no experience in commanding troops to conduct city offensive and defensive battles, before time travel, he was an old reader after all and had read a lot of city offensive and defensive plots from fictional history books.
In Cao Ang's view, although Sun Jian has a certain advantage, Hu Zhen on the opposite side is not a vegetarian. Moreover, Sun Jian's unit had one of the biggest disadvantages, which was that they could only increase their troops through ladders. Once the soldiers on the city wall were heavily killed, their breakthrough would probably not be secured.
Looking at Cao Ang who shook his head, Liao Hua couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious! I dare to bet you that Sun Jian will definitely be able to capture this city"
However, at this moment, the relatively pure Liao Hua would not have thought that Hu Zhen pointed to the most tense place at the top of the city and roared angrily: "Covered by bows and arrows!"
Zhao Cen repeated his order without hesitation: "Cover with bows and arrows!"
The two hundred archers who had been waiting on the side immediately loaded their bows and shot at the top of the city. Because they received the order to cover the shooting, the archers did not have to aim carefully at all, they just shot in that direction with great force.
By the time everyone was out of breath and their arms were weak, there was deathly silence on the top of the city! And Zhao Cen also rushed forward with his reserve team and quickly launched a counterattack!
The soldiers who were fighting on top of the city never thought that they would be hit by a covering blow. You twisted his waist, and he grabbed your hair, and then they fell together under the cover of bows and arrows!
Although Cheng Pu's martial arts skills are high, it is difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists, not to mention that he is faced with dense arrows and a small battlefield where shooting skills cannot be used. After the bow and arrow were covered, even Cheng Pu was hit by three arrows in a row and fell down.On the ground.
Sun Jian was horrified and shouted: "Hurry up and save Cheng Pu!"
Hearing his order, his guard general Zu Mao immediately led his men to rush forward, but was stopped by Sun Jian because Huang Gai had already charged forward.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the number of soldiers around Huang Gai was limited. After protecting Cheng Pu, they were unable to protect the breach. One crenellation after another was captured by Zhao Cen and others. Huang Gai could only lead his army to guard the last three crenels and resist desperately.
At this moment, Hu Zhen shouted again: "Archers, prepare!"
Huang Gai was horrified, "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Soon, the seriously injured Cheng Pu was sent to Sun Jian. Looking at the bruises all over Cheng Pu's body, and then looking at Huang Gai and others who retreated in embarrassment, Sun Jian let out a long sigh and roared angrily: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"
