The phalanx of the Han army advanced one after another under the cover of catapults, some of the phalanx were ladder carts, and some were wells, but because Jiameng Pass was located in the gap between two mountains, the road leading to Jiameng Pass was more like a gourd, so that the five hundred soldiers in the phalanx could not keep the original queue forward.

Therefore, when the phalanx entered the entrance of Jiameng Pass, the phalanx of the Han army shrank, and the soldiers advanced in a team of seven, and the ladder cart in the middle of the phalanx was barely able to pass through this narrow road.

However, the wide well car could not pass through the entire narrow intersection, and could only look at the city wall of Jiamengguan and sigh. However, fortunately, the well was equipped with a long-range crossbow machine, and the soldiers pushed the well to the entrance, lined up in a line, and the soldiers on the well were standing on the well and holding the crossbow machine, shooting at the wall of Jiameng Pass, which was about 80 paces away.

If the attack of the catapult can still make the defenders in the city barely hide behind the battlements to dodge, but once the well is present, the soldiers can see every move on the wall of the inner wall of the Jiameng Pass in the shooting platform on the ten meters high.

Moreover, a crossbow can shoot continuously in a short period of time, and the power of those crossbow arrows is also quite amazing, and it can generally shoot a distance of 100 paces.

In this way, one crossbowman can create the power of fifteen archers, not to mention that each well is equipped with four crossbowmen, so only four crossbowmen need to shoot non-stop, and the effect of shooting is like sixty archers.

There were a total of five wells in the battle, and all of them participated in the battle. But I saw that the crossbow machine kept opening and closing. Short, sharp bolts resemble dense raindrops. Strafing to the city wall of Jiameng Pass, only five wells created the power of three hundred archers to shoot together, I have to say, the powerful power of this well.

The most important thing is that when shooting at the well, the arrows flew directly at the soldiers hiding on the city wall, although some Sichuan troops were lucky enough to avoid the attack of the boulder. But he couldn't dodge the attacks of the crossbows, and people kept being hit by arrows, and they were killed by crossbow arrows, and they fell on the city wall and couldn't get up again.

Under the double attack of the catapult and the well, the city wall of Jiameng Pass has been completely suppressed, and there is no ability to fight back at all.

But as the ground forces advanced, the catapults, which were poorly aligned, first stopped their attacks so as not to injure their own men by mistake, but the crossbowmen on the wells were still firing desperately. Suppress the defenders on the walls with the densest array of arrows so that the ground forces do not suffer.

Soon. The soldiers in the phalanx finally reached the city gate, and the defenders of the city did not return fire until the soldiers in the phalanx had set up the ladder on the wall, and they realized the danger coming.

"Don't let the enemy get close to the city wall, you must defend the city to the death!" Liu Xian immediately shouted loudly, and he even risked being shot through his body by an arrow, holding the knife in his hand and slashing towards the cloud ladder.

The sound of "dang" echoed in Liu Xian's ears, and after the knife in his hand collided with the cloud ladder, he didn't cut it off, but instead burst out of his blade.

Knowing this, Liu Xian noticed that the ladder erected on the city wall was not made of wood, but actually made of iron.

And at this moment, an arrow whistled past and plunged directly into Liu Xian's chest, and the short and sharp crossbow arrow shot through the battle armor worn by Liu Xian and penetrated into his body, but the power of the arrow was also blocked to a certain extent, Liu Xian only felt that his chest seemed to be cut by something, and there was no heart-rending pain like an arrow shooting into his body.

Liu Xian hurriedly pulled out the arrow, fortunately the armor he was wearing was thick enough to remove a lot of strength, otherwise, he would definitely be shot through the chest by the arrow.

"It's dangerous!" Liu Xian secretly screamed.

But at this moment, a soldier who looked like a Qiang man climbed up the ladder, raised the sharp single knife in his hand, and slashed at Liu Xian's head, which was as fast as lightning.

Liu Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his knife to block the Qiang attack, and at the same time his body retreated sharply, his eyes glanced at the enemy army under the city wall, and the road was already densely packed.

At the moment when Liu Xian retreated, the Qiang man jumped up to the city tower, and with a knife in his hand, he killed a soldier, and then danced wildly, but seeing the flashing cold light flickering in the sun, several Sichuan soldiers who surrounded him were hacked to death by him.

One after another, the Qiang people climbed up the ladder and fought side by side with the Qiang people who first climbed the city wall.

And those Sichuan soldiers on the city wall rushed over from both sides, but they were suppressed by the crossbowmen on the well in the distance, blocking the support of the Sichuan soldiers, so that more and more Qiang people climbed the city wall one after another, and like a plague, it spread everywhere, and after a while, it crowded the city.

Seeing this, Liu Xian knew that it was difficult to regain the lost ground, a sound of zero, turned around and retreated into the pass, before leaving, he kept kicking the can of fire oil at his feet, when he went down the city wall, he took out the fire fold and threw it on the ground with the fire oil, the fire immediately burned, and quickly spread to the surroundings, under the action of the fierce fire oil, the fire was very powerful, and some Qiang people who had no time to dodge were swallowed by the fire in an instant, and the whole body was burning with raging fire, and the hot flames baked the body, There was a hysterical scream.

The fire on the city wall was not large, and the Qiang people immediately took measures to extinguish the fire, so that the fire was extinguished without much damage.

At this time, the Qiang people who had already broken into the city came to the city gate, and opened the city gate from the inside, and once the city gate was opened, the army poured into the city like a flood, and saw that some of the Sichuan soldiers were fleeing westward, so they chased after them directly.

The entire siege battle was only a quarter of an hour, and the sturdy Jiameng Pass was actually opened, which made Ma Chao excited, and shouted at the soldiers in front of him: "Kill into the city, no one will be left!" ”

After the city gate was opened, the Qiang people rushed into Jiameng Pass, some of them pursued the fleeing Sichuan soldiers in front, and some of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the pass, searching around to see if there was anything valuable.

The reason why the Qiang people came to fight with Ma Chao this time was that they didn't dare to offend Ma Chao, and they didn't dare not give Ma Chao face, but the most critical point was that they felt that it was profitable, Yizhou has always been a rich area, these Qiang people followed Ma Chao to fight together, and when they came to such a rich place, they would definitely have to do a search.

But the strange thing is that when the Qiang people searched around the pass, they found that the room in the pass was empty, not even a grain of grain, a foot of cloth, or a single money could not be found, and the pass was already a mess before they arrived, which couldn't help but make them feel that this Jiameng Pass was empty.

The Qiang people who were responsible for the pursuit of the Sichuan soldiers, when they chased out the west gate of Jiameng Pass, the Sichuan soldiers burned a raging fire on the only road, blocking the pursuit of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people who poured into the city probably reached seven or eight thousand, and every corner was full of people, but there was no Sichuan soldier to be found.

At this time, I don't know who covered his nose and said, "Why is there a smell of fire oil?" ”

As soon as this person's words came out, the others also seemed to smell a smell and covered their noses, when everyone rushed in just now, the city was filled with the smell of blood, and they only cared about chasing the enemy army and looting things, and now they finally calmed down, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

However, just when the Qiang people were still in a daze, a cluster of arrows with Mars suddenly flew from the sky, and they flew all over the sky and landed in the Jiameng Pass.

After a while, there was a fire everywhere in the entire Jiameng Pass, the fire spread very quickly, only a moment of effort, the entire Jiameng Pass was blocked, large and small fires collided together, and soon a raging fire dragon was formed, swallowing up a qiē in the Jiameng Pass, and everyone was trapped in the pass.

The fire in Jiameng Pass was soaring, and the Qiang people were even more chaotic, their bodies were on fire, and they were rushing indiscriminately, like headless flies.

The Qiang people, who were relatively close to the city gate, also said that they immediately withdrew from the city when the fire in the city was burned, and they escaped by luck before the fire sealed the gate.

At this time, Ma Chao was riding a white horse and preparing to enter Jiameng Pass, when he suddenly saw a sky-high fire burning in Jiameng Pass, screaming one after another, whispering endlessly, and suddenly his heart fell to the bottom. What he never expected was that Zhang Fei would actually give him this hand, and while taking the initiative to give up Jiameng Pass, he did not forget to set fire to the pass, so that the seven or eight thousand Qiang brothers he brought were buried in the fire.

The war horses under Ma Chao's seat neighed, and the soldiers who were close to Jiameng Pass also retreated one after another, and they didn't know how much fierce fire oil the Sichuan soldiers had placed in Jiameng Pass, which actually made Jiameng Pass ignite such a big fire.

At first glance, the inside of Jiameng Pass looks like a large brazier burning with a raging fire, and the people and things in the brazier are swallowed by the flames.

At first, there was still a scream in Jiameng Pass, but as the fire burned more and more vigorously, there was no other sound in the city except for the occasional crackling burning sound, and it seemed that the seven or eight thousand Qiang people had been buried in the sea of fire.

"Zhang Fei! I can't spare you! Seeing that Jia Mengguan in his hand had such a change, and Ma Chao had lost seven or eight thousand people, how could he swallow this breath?

Now the fire in Jiameng Pass is burning vigorously, if you want to pursue Zhang Fei, you can only wait until the fire in Jiameng Pass is gradually extinguished, and the anger of colleagues and other Qiang people under Ma Chao is also ignited, and they all vow to avenge the dead clansmen.

However, the fire in Jiameng Pass burned for two days and two nights, and then gradually extinguished, after the fire, Jiameng Pass was already blackened, and all kinds of strangely shaped charred corpses could be seen everywhere in the city. (To be continued......)
