My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce
Chapter 157
What to do? If the rushing car is allowed to crash like this, no matter how strong the gate is, it will be destroyed.
"Vice Admiral Li! Immediately send the Warriors of the Blade to slip down the walls and create an opportunity for the Minethrowers to attack! Tian Feng immediately ordered.
Vice General Li received the order, and immediately sent 500 warriors with horizontal swords to carry ropes and prepare to slip down the city wall. At the same time, the thunder thrower lit the gunpowder packets and threw them at the Cao soldiers at the city gate, throwing six gunpowder packets in one go.
Immediately, the red light with the smoke rose one after another, and then joined together, and the city was suddenly full of ghosts and wolves.
At this moment, the warriors who had been prepared for a long time threw the ropes down, and then slipped off the ropes one by one.
Cao Jun was shocked by the thunder and did not dare to rush to the city gate for a while. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and when the soldiers of the Cao army saw the situation at the gate of the city, they couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw that hundreds of warriors of the Northern Expeditionary Army appeared at the gate of the city.
Cao Jun was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and rushed forward with a loud roar.
The Horizontal Knife Warrior arcs to protect the doorway behind. At the same time, dozens of horizontal sword warriors killed the dozens of Cao army's foot soldiers who were storming the city gate. These lightly armed soldiers were the opponents of the Horizontal Sword Warriors, and they were killed by the Horizontal Sword Warriors in just a moment.
The horizontal sword warriors who resisted the impact of Cao's army on the periphery fought very fiercely. The Cao army surged like a wave, and the horizontal sword warriors almost fought for their lives, exchanging blood for blood. In the moment when the Cao soldiers next to the city car were wiped out, more than half of the 450 horizontal sword warriors on the periphery were killed, and the number of Cao soldiers killed in the battle was even more.
Although the Hengdao warriors suffered heavy casualties, they simply blocked Cao's army from the outside of the city gate.
Just as the Horizontal Sword Warriors were fighting to the death, two mine-throwers slipped off the ropes. The two mine-throwers then placed the powder packets on the cart and lit the fuse.
The fuse fuse danced rapidly in white smoke, but the two mine-throwers did not run away. Just as the gunpowder pack was about to explode, they actually used their bodies to hold down the gunpowder pack. It turned out that they did this to prevent the power of the gunpowder bag explosion from hurting the horizontal sword warriors who were fighting not far away.
With 'Boom! Rumble! With two loud bangs, Cao's storming cart was blown to pieces, and the two mine-throwers were also shattered, but the horizontal sword warriors who were close at hand were not affected by the power of the explosion.
At this moment, Tian Feng, who was on the tower of the city gate, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the explosion.
destroyed Cao Jun's storming car, and the task of the horizontal sword warriors was completed, but the remaining hundred or so horizontal sword warriors could not get out. It was impossible for the Hengdao warriors, who were surrounded by the seemingly endless Cao army, to retreat into the Huguan Pass, and they died one by one in a desperate battle.
Tian Feng looked at the tragedy under the city, and only felt a great pain in his heart, but he had nothing to do.
Moments after Cao's chariot was destroyed, the last warrior of the city was killed. The warrior of the horizontal sword stood with his back against the wall, covered in blood and scarred, and a spear stuck in his chest was the fatal blow that took his life, although he was already dead, his eyes were still open, his left hand held the neck of a Cao soldier, and the horizontal knife in his right hand pierced through the body of this Cao soldier.
After Cao Jun's rushing car was desperately destroyed by the Northern Army, Cao Jun pushed a new rushing car towards the city gate. However, this time, Tian Feng did not make the same mistake again. The firepower on the tower of the city gate focused on Cao Jun's storming vehicles, and the only five remaining storming vehicles of Cao's army were destroyed one after another.
While the battle at the city gate was in full swing, the desperate fight on the southern city wall was still going on.
Originally, because Zhang Fei personally led the horizontal sword warriors to support the southern city wall, Cao's army had gradually been pressed down the city wall. However, due to the addition of Cao Jun's new force, the situation was gradually reversed by Cao Jun. However, the Cao army did not take advantage of anything, and as the northern army continued to throw its strength into the southern city wall, the two sides formed a stalemate on the southern city wall.
At this time, the situation on the southern city wall is like two bulls in a fierce battle, and whoever can hold out to the end will win. However, if the situation continues like this, it will be impossible for the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage, to achieve a final victory.
Zhang Fei brandished the Zhangba Snake Spear, roaring again and again, covered in blood, that appearance was really hideous and terrifying. The warriors of the horizontal sword and the other soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army fought bravely to be the first to sacrifice their lives to fight.
However, the Cao army did not show weakness, although their casualties were much higher than that of the northern army, but their strength advantage was more obvious, and the Cao army relied on the strength advantage to form a stalemate on the southern city wall with the northern army.
Just when the two sides were fighting bloodily, a special unit of the Northern Army came to reinforce it. They had no armor, no weapons, only a powder bag. They are the special units of the Northern Expeditionary Army - Mine-throwers.
The soldiers on both sides who had already killed the red-eyed did not pay any attention to the mine-throwers coming from the city walls. They're still fighting.
A moment later, more than a dozen gunpowder packs were thrown off the city wall, and then more than a dozen terrifying red flames rose from the crowded Cao army. Cao Jun suddenly screamed and fell in a large area. At the same time, six of the eight ladders erected here were destroyed.
More than 200 people died in this attack of the Cao army in the northern army, and the astonishing power of the gunpowder bag shocked everyone on both sides. However, if Chen Chu saw this scene, he would definitely be disappointed and said; "If it's an explosive package, I'm afraid one can kill hundreds of people!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but be anxious and angry when he saw the scene of the gunpowder bag bombing, only to hear him roar angrily: "Where did Chen Chu get this 'monster'!" Let our soldiers suffer such heavy casualties!
At this time, Liu Ye, who had been silent, spoke. I saw him clasp his fists at Cao Cao and said, "My lord, this thunderous thing may be made of gunpowder." Liu Ye's tone was very uncertain.
"Gunpowder!?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a questioning face: "Ziyang, I have also seen this gunpowder, although gunpowder is much more flammable than other things, it does not seem to have such amazing power!"
Liu Ye hurriedly explained: "My lord, the reason why I think it is gunpowder is completely inferred from the characteristics of the burning of that object, and the gunpowder is also that red flame when it burns. But whether it's or not, I'm not sure!
Cao Cao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Let this matter go for the time being." Then he returned his attention to the battlefield in full swing.
The gunpowder bag attack of the thunder throwers played a crucial role, and the momentum of Cao's ascent was fiercely contained, most of the eight ladders were destroyed, and the soldiers of the Cao army who gathered near the ladders to prepare for the city were hit hard by the gunpowder bags, and the speed of Cao's army to replenish the city's troops plummeted tenfold.
The Northern Army took the opportunity to counterattack. Due to the lack of timely military support, Cao's army soon fell into decline.
The Cao army under the city desperately tried to rush back to the city, but under the double blow of gunpowder bags and sandalwood and stones of the northern army, they still did not achieve their goal after paying a heavy price.
Zhang Fei led the soldiers of the Northern Army to sweep the soldiers of the Cao Army at the head of the city like a storm. After a fierce fight, the Cao army at the head of the city was finally cleared.
At this point, the battle for the head of the city is temporarily over, leaving only a tragic scene on the head of the city, full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, blood stained this piece of city bricks into dark red, Zhang Fei and the surviving soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army stood panting in this piece of blood.
Next, Cao Jun launched several more attacks, but the intensity of the attack was far less fierce than just now. Cao Cao changed his attack force several times, and it was still the case.
By this moment, Cao Cao understood that the morale of the army had begun to fall, and any further fighting would lead to nothing but increase casualties.
In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn.
As a piercing golden bell rang, both sides couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Cao's army, which was besieging the city, retreated like a tide in the setting sun.
The bloody battle of the day is finally over. In this day's battle, Cao's army successively invested 100,000 troops to attack the city, while the 40,000 defenders of the northern army were basically all on the battlefield. The Northern Army paid a heavy price of 13,000 casualties, while Cao's army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties. The total number of casualties on both sides reached a staggering 50,000 in one day, which is absolutely unprecedented! This also shows how tragic this battle was!
In the following time, Cao's army stormed Huguan day by day. Huguan looked precarious in the surging attack of Cao's army.
At the same time, the battle in Keiguan was also very fierce, and the situation in Keiguan was not optimistic.
The news of the two levels will be transmitted to Chen Chu in the state through the flying pigeon every day, so that Chen Chu can make a decision in time.
When the war was raging in Huguan and Jiguan, Chen Chu, who was in the rear and merged with the state, was not easy at all. Chen Chu hasn't had a good night's sleep these days, and spends every day in the study from morning to night.
On this day, Chen Chu was in the study reading the information sent from all over the country. Chen Chu's brows were furrowed, and his expression looked worried.
At present, the situation between the two passes is tense, and the reserve forces available in Chen Chu's hands are very limited, and the only forces that Chen Chu can use immediately are 20,000 foot soldiers of the Hexi Legion and 50,000 cavalry of the Blue Wolf Battalion.
Chen Chu intended to transfer back the Bingzhou Legion that had conquered Guanzhong, but Jia Xu advised him not to do so.
Chen Chu wanted to transfer some troops from the northern frontier back to the state, but Zhao Yun sent news that the Xianbei people had gathered a large army a hundred miles north of Yunzhong, and they obviously had bad intentions. Chen Chu couldn't help but be very annoyed, and secretly hated that the Xianbei people wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Just when Chen Chu was worried, two graceful figures came in through the side door, and they were still holding ginseng soup in their hands.
Chen Chu didn't notice them, and was still reading the documents in his hand.
The two women put the ginseng soup on one side of the table, and then sat down gently beside Chen Chu. The two girls didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Chu's face with their eyes. The two girls are none other than Chen Chu's confidantes-Zhang Rui and Diao Chan.
Zhang Rui raised her eyebrows lightly, and her expression looked a little unhappy. And Diao Chan's expression is a happy idiot.
