The stone projectile whizzed past the battlements of the city wall and smashed towards the Jin army's shield position. Although these stone bullets are one size smaller than the stone bullets used by the Jin army, that is, they weigh twenty or thirty pounds, but despite this, the destructive power of these stone bullets smashed down from mid-air is also quite amazing, when those stone bullets hit the shield hard, the wooden shield could not withstand such a heavy blow at all, and immediately shattered into several pieces, and the shield soldier holding the shield behind the shield could not stand such a big impact, and knelt on the spot.

A stone bullet smashed through the shield and smashed straight down, and the head under the shield was instantly exploded, and red and white were sprinkled all over the ground.

The stone projectiles fired frantically smashed into the shield array of the Jin army, and the shield array that originally looked rock-solid was beaten into chaos, and the Jin army was holding its head and running away, and the shield array quickly collapsed.

Fu Yi seized the opportunity and ordered the ballista to attack the Jin army's catapults.

The chaos on the battlefield spread to the catapult side, and the catapult that was originally going to start dropping bombs was also greatly affected by the collapse of the shield array, but fortunately, the other party only attacked the shield array, and did not attack the catapult array, just when Zhang Shang ordered the catapult to counterattack, a series of rockets were launched from the side of the city wall, and they shot towards the catapult array.

The catapult array was originally very scattered, if the Shu army used catapults to attack, although it was possible to hit one or two, but it was impossible to completely disperse the catapult array, which was also Zhang Shangyou's fearlessness and dared to push the catapult to a place about one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall.

The protection of the shield array in front of Zhang Shang made Zhang Shang feel very sure, but he didn't expect that the Shu army would not play cards according to common sense, and did not use bows and arrows first but used catapults to fight shield soldiers.

The shooting accuracy of the catapult is relatively high, and it can completely lock on to such a huge target as the catapult, and the Zhuge Ballista with ten arrows of fire is like a rain of fire, cutting through the air one after another, and hitting the catapult one after another.

Although the lethality of a simple crossbow arrow is not small, it seems to be difficult to shake a behemoth like a catapult, but the crossbow arrow with fire is different, the arrow is nailed deep into the wooden pillar of the catapult, and the raging flames immediately ignite the wooden pillar, one or two fire crossbow arrows may not have any effect, but if a catapult is hit by dozens or even hundreds of fire ballista arrows at the same time, the entire catapult will be surrounded by flames.

The catapult riders desperately fought the flames, trying to save the catapult from the sea of fire, but the attack of the Shu army was quite intensive, the first row of fire crossbow arrows had just been shot, and before the Jin army had time to breathe, another row of fire crossbow arrows had already poured in. Not only the catapult, but even the Jin soldiers near the catapult became its target, and many Jin soldiers tried to put out the fire, but they were shot to death next to the catapult, and even the corpses burned.

Catapults are made of huge logs, and once a fire starts, it is difficult to rescue, but in a few moments, dozens of catapults are surrounded by flames.

Zhang Shang was depressed, the Jin army's catapult was pushed to the city, and before a stone was fired, it suffered a devastating blow, looking at the raging fire ignited by dozens of catapults, Zhang Shang had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

Fu Yan's face finally showed a smile, and in the Shu army's array, there was a thunderous cheer, and the joy of winning the first battle spread among the Shu army.

Zhang Le laughed and said, "It's done!" Or Fu Dudu has a clever plan! Although Fu Yan no longer holds the position of Guanzhong Governor, the generals under his account still habitually call him Fu Dudu.

Fu Yi also stroked his beard and laughed: "Yanghu thinks that he has a catapult and dares to attack Tongguan, this fire crossbow arrow is specially prepared for him, and now Yanghu is missing the catapult This siege weapon, I also want to see what other tricks he has." ”

The Jin army watching the battle on the other side of the forbidden ditch was all speechless, originally they came to take advantage of the excitement, thinking that they could crush the Shu army with a huge advantage in troops, but the one-sided situation in the first battle undoubtedly shocked them incomparably.

The Shu army was obviously fully prepared for the catapult, whether it was attacking the shield array with the catapult, or attacking the catapult with fire crossbow arrows, all the movements were swift and accurate, without any mud and water, it was completely done in one go, and it did not give the Jin army any chance at all.

Obviously, the Jin army's catapult array reacted half a beat slower, before being wiped out, dozens of catapults were ready to launch stone bullets, but the result was that they were all destroyed by the Shu army without even a stone projectile, and the Jin army was obviously much worse in terms of the ability to adapt to changes.

Zhang Shang returned to Yanghu in embarrassment, half of the cloak on his back was burned off by the fire, his whole face was smoky, even his beard was burned, and he could obviously smell a smell of burning.

Zhang Shang said to Yanghu with a discouraged expression: "The last general is incompetent, and he has lost the high hopes of the governor, please punish the governor." Zhang Shang knew the importance of the first battle, which was of great benefit to morale, but he went to attack the city with confidence, but he was hit head-on, and the morale of the Jin army was obviously greatly affected, and Zhang Shang had to ask Yanghu for guilt.

Yanghu didn't mean to punish him, and said very indifferently: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you don't have to blame yourself, step back." ”

Zhang Shang knew that his Governor was extraordinary, and at this time, he was even more heartbroken, and said: "Xie Dudu's grace of not sinning." He stepped aside.

Yanghu looked in the direction of Tongguan with a solemn gaze.

Fu Yan? His mind quickly recalled the information about Fu Tong: Fu Tong is the son of Fu Tong, the founding general of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he is indeed a strong general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, and he is one of the two generals who are promoted and reused by Jiang Wei (the other is Jiang Shu, but it turns out that Jiang Shu is far from Fu Tong in terms of ability and character), on the road to Liu Yin's rise, Fu Tong also played an extremely key role, for such a loyal and brave general, Yanghu didn't even bother to play boring tricks such as persuasion and surrender, With Fu Yan's character, Yang Hu knew very well that the persuasion of surrender was just a humiliation.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Yanghu to easily admit defeat. Yanghu was entrusted by Sima Yan this time to take on the task of tackling key problems, he knew very well the responsibility on his shoulders, as a general, how could he easily say defeat?

"Very good, but this battle has just begun, I want to see how long you can defend this Tongguan." (To be continued.) )
