Chapter 649: The Battle of Xiongguan
Xiahou Yuan led his troops to meet the battle.
The armies of both sides set up positions under the Tiger Prison Pass.
The wind wrapped in yellow sand, pounced on the army and then dispersed, and the tiger prison in the distance seemed to have become a mirage in the desert.
Qin Feng put on armor and held a gun, chased after Yunju and came out, and immediately said in front of the battle: "Xiahou Miaocai, you follow Cao to rebel against the Tao, and the prime minister is now coming to crusade against you with the edict of Ming!" If you are caught, you can be sent to the court and be exempted from your guilt. โ
Xiahou Yuan, who led the troops on the opposite side, was furious, waved his gun and said, "Qin Zijin, you Shaopan slandered others." You overthrow the royal family, the most against the sky, I want to punish your nine clans, in order to thank the world. But this time, I will give my brother Xiahoudun a face, if you surrender early, I will spare your life! If you make a mistake, you will be crushed! โ
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.
One of the people in the formation was furious, rode out of the horse, and shouted with a sword: "Xiahou Yuan, what are you capable of, dare to say my lord!" Wei Wenchang is here, eat my knife! โ
Xiahou Yuan was superior in force, so he dared to lead his troops to the pass, and when he saw that a member of the army was killed, he was not afraid, and he was also very strong to greet him.
When there is a long fight, the two sides come and go, in the shadow of swords and swords, dozens of rounds are not the winner.
Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly while watching the battle, the Cao family and the Xiahou family were able to produce many people, which was the biggest reliance on Cao Cao's rise in later generations.
In the cheers of the soldiers on both sides, Wei Yan and Xiahou Yuan exchanged dozens of moves.
Since Wei Yan joined Qin Feng, he was entrusted with important tasks, but he did not have many merits that he could handle, which made him very ashamed. Now that the opportunity to make meritorious service is in front of him, he worked hard and used his means to kill the generals in front of the battle.
Xiahou Yuan gradually lost his opponent. However, it is impossible to make him admit defeat and retreat.
Then. In the Qin army's array, Changshan Marquis Zhao Yun said: "My lord." Xiahou Yuan had few soldiers, and he fought against General Wei Yan, so he must not have had time to give orders. Yun asks for battle, lead the cavalry to attack Xiahou Yuan's back road, and you can capture it in one battle! โ
Qin Feng followed his words.
As a result, the Qin army mobilized.
However, just as Zhao Yun was preparing for a thunderous blow.
When the ...... was dangdang, a sound of gold sounded on the tiger prison.
Since Gu Mingjin retreated, Xiahou Yuan waved his horse and left. With the soldiers and horses and wolf Bรจi, he returned to the Tiger Prison Pass.
And Qin Feng couldn't catch up, and after watching the tiger prison pass shรฌ for a while, he returned to the camp.
The tiger prison is closed.
"Who Mingjin!" Xiahou Yuan failed to defeat Wei Yan, he was very unhappy, and asked dissatisfiedly.
At this time, Liang Xi said: "General, I saw the cavalry movement behind the Qin army's formation, and I thought it was to raid the general, so I only knew Jin." โ
Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized when he heard this. Said: "Qin Zijin has always been cunning, if it weren't for you, General Ben would have almost fallen for his trick!" โ
Liang Xi was able to accurately identify the shape of the Qin army's battle formation at the Tiger Prison Pass, which obviously had a unique way of marching and fighting. That's it. Xiahou Yuan glanced at it, and discussed more than him.
Liang Xi said, "The Qin army is new. Sharp. The general should hold out and wait until the enemy's morale is slackened. then you can seek a plan to withdraw from the army. โ
Xiahou Yuan obeyed Liang Xi's construction and began to guard the pass.
Three days later. Qin Feng saw that Xiahou Yuan had made up his mind to hold on, and when he was fully prepared, he began to try to storm the Tiger Prison Pass.
Qin Feng led an army of 100,000 to the Tiger Prison Pass again, this time he brought all the siege equipment and prepared to launch a strong attack on Xiahou Yuan, who could not come out of the retreat.
This is the second major battle ushered in by Tiger Prison Pass since Dong Zhuo's rebellion.
Cao Bing, who was closed, looked around. I saw that on the loess plain under the Tiger Prison, a sandstorm suddenly rose, and the earth trembled under the rumbling horses' hooves, and the Tiger Prison Pass on the ground also seemed to tremble. The march of 100,000 people was so great that the faint-hearted were invincible.
When the dust covering the sky and the sun was blown through the Tiger Prison Pass with the wind, the Qin army under the pass had already laid out a large array, and the edge could not be seen at a glance, and the rear of the huge military array seemed to be connected to the sky. The millimeter of light reflected by the tens of thousands of weapons converged, and the murderous aura rushed straight into the sky.
Cao Bing, who was in the tiger prison, saw that he was timid before the battle and trembled.
However, Xiahou Yuan, the guard of the Tiger Prison Pass, scoffed at him, just because he had a male pass in his hand and could withstand millions of male soldiers, and encouraged: "All the soldiers, the Qin army is brutal and wreaks havoc on the world, just like the army of the Qin Dynasty back then. The Qin army of the tyrant of the Qin State swept the world, but what happened in the end? โ
"The tyrant suffers the curse of heaven, and Qin Zijin's fate will be the same in the end!"
"Now, we have a city pass like Tiger Prison, and we should use the power of Xiongguan to destroy the army of the tyrannical Qin. With the blood of the enemy, he will make immortal feats. Xiahou Yuan finally said: "The lord has already sent an order, every month of perseverance, the official will be promoted to one level, and a reward of 100 gold!" โ
Sticking to one month is such a reward, but what about sticking to February, three months?
Although Cao Jun was a little afraid of the Qin army, they were still confident in holding out for two or three months, and their morale suddenly skyrocketed, and the sound of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions shook the sky.
Under the Tiger Prison, in front of the Qin army.
Qin Feng rode on the cloud-chasing horse, looking at the Tiger Prison Xiongguan halfway up the mountain. For a long time, he avoided fighting as much as possible. Just because the battle in the era of cold weapons is different from the era of hot weapons, there will inevitably be a hundredfold and thousandfold casualties.
The casualties of the soldiers were the last thing Qin Feng had ever wanted to see.
However, the battle for dominance in the world, Xiongcheng Xiongguan everywhere, in the end can not be avoided.
Looking at the majestic Tiger Prison Pass, his eyes were resolute, "Winning this first Xiongguan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, nothing can stop the footsteps of the true appearance!" He raised his gun.
The spear is pointed, and the three armies are killed. In the shouting of killing, the war drums sounded in unison.
Three phalanxes, 30,000 Qin troops moved.
The shield soldiers were in front, and in the middle were the siege troops with ladders in their hands. In addition, the Qin army's Yuanrong crossbow soldiers, all pushing the well fence arrow platform in the middle, while the Qin army's siege vehicles and trebuchet troops were behind.
Qin Feng saw that the trebuchet troops had entered the firing range, and with a wave of the command, he ordered the siege troops to stop and wait for the catapult to strike first. Just as in later generations, artillery fire covered first.
The Qin army's hundreds of trebuchets started first, and in the piercing sound of the opening and closing of the mechanism, the boulder with flames whistled, and Mount Tai was overwhelming. Fly to the Tiger Prison.
Xiahou Yuan, who was closed, looked at the flying boulder. The color changed, and he shouted: "Go under the battlements of the city wall." Dodge the Flying Stones! โ
Cao Jun hurriedly entered the battlement to dodge, and the flying stones that came from the parabola could not concentrate them.
"Sand and soil extinguish the fire...... accumulate these boulders, and they will be used as rolling stones for a while, and they will be returned to the Qin army!"
Since ancient times, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. Tiger Prison Pass, there are also ways to deal with trebuchets.
"The archers on both sides are ready. Target enemy trebuchet positions, throw! โ
On both sides of the Tiger Prison Pass there are even higher arrow towers, which are specially used to deal with enemy trebuchets. I saw 5,000 Cao Jun crossbowmen, stretching their bows to the sky, at a 45-degree angle. They were in the gate, so although the range of the Qin army's trebuchets was longer than theirs. But if it is a projectile, the range of Cao Jun's crossbowmen is still above the trebuchet.
Buzzing......, scalp-tingling sound. More than 10,000 arrows broke through the air. It was like a dark cloud before a storm, and it instantly reached the sky above the Qin army's trebuchet phalanx.
"Duck under the trebuchet!"
The trebuchets of the Qin army naturally also had flaps to resist bows and arrows, and the soldiers hid below. It is like playing an umbrella, not afraid of the rain of arrows thrown by the enemy.
To the sound of drums, the Qin army began to assault.
"Archer prepare!" Xiahou Yuan on the Tiger Prison. Good shooting. He looked coldly at the ant colony-like Qin army and calculated the distance. And at the same time. On the regular city wall of Tiger Prison Pass, tens of thousands of archers have been densely stationed.
Three hundred steps.
Xiahou Yuan's cold eyes flashed with murderous intent. He shouted angrily: "Shoot the arrows!" โ
......The humming, scalp-tinging sound of bowstrings.
Xiuxiu...... Xiuxiu...... ...... roar, the arrows were like locusts, and the screams of comparable shells broke through the air.
Tens of thousands of arrows rained down, as if the locust swarm had found a fresh and delicious rice field. A living Qin army is a rice full of rice grains. They obscured the sun like black clouds, pounced on them, and tore at them.
Screams immediately rang out, and the Qin army began to suffer casualties. For a while, the bloody Tiger Prison Pass, which had not seen blood for more than ten years, once again became a Shura field.
"Everyone rises up ......!"
"For a new world!"
"Form a formation, don't panic!" The grassroots officers of the Qin army shouted loudly, and while boosting morale, they reminded.
I saw the Qin Jun shield hand holding up the finely cast shield, and on Kong Wu's powerful arms, the meridians swirled like a dragon and snake. They used their greatest strength to support a piece of safety for themselves and their comrades-in-arms.
As far as the eye can see, tens of thousands of shields are densely gathered, and the light emitted by the iron tools is like a giant building lying horizontally and full of crystal glass.
Jingle, jingle, the arrows striking the shield and playing the music of death.
The rain of arrows was too dense and pervasive, and some Qin troops fell to the ground due to arrows. They were relayed by their comrades and transported out of the shield to safety. Most of the Qin troops were unhindered, and gradually came to the Tiger Prison.
Qin Feng, who was watching the battle from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, in the initial stage of the siege, a qiฤ was very smooth.
At this time, Zhao Yun said: "My lord, our army is well-trained and well-prepared, and we will definitely be able to take the Tiger Prison Pass!" โ
Wei Yan on the side asked for battle: "Lord, Wei Yan is willing to be the pioneer and win the Tiger Prison Pass for Lord!" โ
The Tiger Prison is closed.
The Qin army has already begun to build a ladder.
There are no planes, no airborne, and the only way to face the city wall of more than ten zhang is to climb up.
As a result, the soldiers lost the protection of their shields.
"Arrows, arrows, Qin Jun who is just climbing ladders at the moment!" Xiahou Yuan kept repeating the same order, while silently calculating the steps of the Qin army's siege.
Draw the bow and release the arrow. Draw the bow and release the arrow. Cao Jun's archers are like machines that release arrows. And together, they are a huge killing machine.
A Qin soldier who climbed was hit by an arrow and fell down the ladder.
At this time, the Yuan Rong crossbowmen of the Qin army began to suppress the archers on the well fence arrow platform, suppressing the archers on the enemy's close.
"Wow!"
"Ahh
"I've been shot, help, help!" For a time, Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and the blood flowing from the soldiers who fell to the ground after being shot suddenly made the head of the Tiger Prison Pass a river of blood.
Xiahou Yuan did not panic and ordered: "Shield hand, stand the shield at the front and block the enemy's attack!" Archers, just between the gaps, continue to shoot arrows while the enemy releases their arrows! โ
Therefore, the besieging Qin army continued to suffer from the enemy's bow and arrow.
However, the soldiers of the Qin army were different from the soldiers of other princes, they were full of conviction in their hearts, and they wanted to follow the lord to seize the world, so that all the people in the world could live a good life with food and clothing. They just survived the days when they weren't human, and they didn't want to live that anymore.
The soldiers of the Qin army are not afraid of death, and they follow one after another. Difficult, but step by step approaching the city.
Xiahou Yuan saw it in his eyes, showed a sneer, and waved his hand: "Pour fire oil, throw down the torch and burn the enemy!" โ
So, Cao Jun, who had been prepared for a long time, smashed the crockpots filled with fire oil and threw down the torches one by one.
As soon as I heard a boom, there was immediately a sea of fire when I closed it.
In this sea of fire, the soldiers of the Qin army became burning men one by one, and in the miserable shout, they fell into the sea of fire, and the next moment they were burned to ashes.
The smell of burning corpses began to fill the air, making people's hearts tumble and tremble.
The Qin army immediately lost its attack power, and the Cao army, who was closed, took the opportunity to bring a large vat of fire oil, and unceremoniously dumped all of it.
Fire!
A monstrous sea of fire!
The light of death it emitted, even the sun in the sky, will lose its color!
The ashes, rising with the boiling air, were like volcanic ash, floating in the sky above the Qin army's battle array.
Every piece of ash is the life of a soldier of the Qin army.
Qin Feng's face gradually became embarrassed.
The first army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. This is the battle of the fortification, this is the ancient battle of the fortification, the origin of the success of ten thousand bones. Before the enemy's reserves were exhausted, tens of thousands of casualties were only a matter of thought.
Therefore, Qin Feng has been using the knowledge of later generations to plan to avoid tackling tough battles.
"Mingjin retreats!" Qin Feng said gloomily.
In the ashes flying in the sky, the Qin army lost more than 10,000 people and disengaged from the enemy.
The Cao army had the strength to pass the pass, but it lost less than 2,000 people under the bow and arrow of the Qin army.
One to five, always one to ten, one to twenty frontal battles, and only the Qin army can have such a "defeat".
As the Qin army retreated, Cao Jun cheered.
Xiahou Yuan raised his eyebrows, laughed, and said, "Qin Zijin, I have the power to be strong." In the past, it was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and it was useless under this pass! Qin Zijin, can you compare with Xiang Yu? Hahahaha......! โ
In the ridicule of Cao Jun, Qin Jun protected his wounded comrades, rescued the corpses of his comrades who could be snatched back, and silently began to retreat. There was unwillingness in their unyielding eyes, and they swore that when they came here again, they would definitely take this Xiongguan and avenge their dead comrades!
Qin Feng looked coldly at Xiahou Yuan, who was smug in the city, "You must think of a way to ......." (To be continued......)
