Chapter 324: Counterattack!

 "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the deafening footsteps, the soldiers of Qin Yi arrived five hundred meters away from Xiongtun Pass, lined up in a battle formation, and stood still. The soldiers all stood upright with a solemn expression.

The entire military formation was silent, except for the sound of flags flying.

On top of Xiongtun Pass, they saw the enemy's troops were neat and tidy and full of murderous intent. Many guards were slightly frightened and quickly prepared their bows and arrows. As soon as the opponent started to attack the city and rushed into the place where they could shoot, they would release arrows immediately.

But after a long while, the enemy army remained motionless, and the guards could not help but be surprised and puzzled.

At this moment, the guards saw dozens of people pushing ten wooden instruments in the corridor between the enemy's battle formations, slowly approaching the pass.

These devices are extremely strange, but they are also quite large and require many people to move them.

The lieutenant frowned, not knowing what the cross instrument was.

It looks similar to a ram, could it be a siege machine?

But he has been guarding the city for decades and has never seen anything like this. Could it be Qin Yi's original invention?

Thinking that the opponent had a great reputation and the equipment he created must be extraordinary, the lieutenant general immediately became vigilant. He quickly looked carefully and found that there were many enemy soldiers pulling wooden carts and following behind the wooden equipment, walking towards the front of the formation.

The wooden cart is full of huge stones, the smallest ones are as small as wooden barrels, and there are a lot of them.

The lieutenant general became more and more astonished. He didn't know what the other side was doing, so he could only prepare to pay attention. As long as the enemy didn't rush forward, his side would remain unmoving.

The ten wooden instruments were pushed to the front of the formation, which was still far away from Xiongtun Pass and in a position where arrows could not reach them.

"Put in the rocks!" A shout came from the enemy formation. When the deputy general heard this, he vaguely guessed something and his heart sank.

Seeing the enemy soldiers working together to pick up the huge stone and put it into the leather sheath of the wooden instrument, the deputy general's heart suddenly trembled. He understood, he understood what this instrument was for!

"Escape!" the deputy general shouted, but at the next moment, an angry shout came from the enemy formation, "Let go!"

Ten soldiers stood together at the front of the wooden instrument. After hearing the general's order, they pulled the rope with force at the same time!

The stones on the leather sheath suddenly flew up, like meteorites falling from the sky, and hit the city wall of Xiongtun Pass heavily!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the loud roar, the female wall shattered and rubble flew, hitting the bodies of many guards, and wailings suddenly sounded.

If it were not for the timely rescue by the soldiers, the deputy general was almost hit by a stone. He was filled with horror. The scene of ten huge rocks flying towards him still shocked him to this day!

After a moment of panic, he regained consciousness. The lieutenant general who had fallen to the ground was about to stand up when ten more boulders flew out and hit the Xiongtun Pass heavily. It was like an earthquake. The huge pass shook and shattered.

Stones are flying and dust is rising.

The lieutenant general was horrified and quickly stood up. When he took a closer look, he found that the entire city was in a mess!

There were cracks everywhere, and the ground was covered with rubble. Many soldiers were injured by the stones, fell to the ground and howled in agony, or were hit by huge rocks and turned into bright red flesh.

No one can stand up and launch a counterattack, and even if there is, there is no way to attack the opponent.

The distance between the enemy and Xiongtun Pass is beyond the reach of arrows.

Just because you can't attack doesn't mean you won't attack. The lieutenant general knows that if the enemy continues to throw stones, the pass will be broken within half a day!

So he roared, "Hurry up and organize your manpower, go out and counterattack, destroy the opponent's siege equipment, General Zhou..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before the deputy general could finish speaking, he was smashed into a pulp by a huge stone!

Many of the soldiers were shocked. They had no idea that the enemy had such powerful weapons. They hurriedly ran off the city wall, trying to find General Zhou and pass on the orders of the deputy general.

I originally thought that only the city wall was damaged, but I didn't expect that many barracks and warehouses under Guancheng were also destroyed under the huge rocks. Guards were everywhere wailing and running away, and the ground was in a mess.

Feeling heavy in their hearts, the soldiers quickly found General Zhou and conveyed the deputy general's dying military orders.

General Zhou was panicking and asked him to face Qin Yi directly?

This famous general who has never failed?

Although I know that if I go to fight fiercely, I will definitely be defeated, but if I stay in the pass, I will not escape death. It is better to fight with the opponent, maybe... there is still a chance of victory!

With this in mind, General Zhou immediately ordered the many remaining soldiers to pick up swords and shields, form a battle formation, and follow him out of the city to meet the enemy!

"Squeak!"

The city gate suddenly rang, and thousands of soldiers, following General Zhou, rushed out of Guancheng and killed Linzhan's army.

In the Chinese army's position, Qin Yi sat on his horse with a calm expression.

He had already guessed that the opponent would not sit still and wait for death, but would definitely come out of the city for a fierce battle, so he had already made arrangements.

In front of the battle formation are rows of archers. They have been waiting for a long time, and the arrows they hold in their hands glow with a terrifying cold light!

"Stretch your bow!" A general shouted loudly as he approached the military formation.

Many archers raised their hands one after another and tightened the bow strings, making a heart-breaking sound!

When the enemy soldiers rushed into the place of an arrow, the general who was looking at him shouted angrily, "Fire the arrow!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The black rain of arrows immediately covered the guards at Xiongtun Pass!

"Zhang Gong..." the general shouted again, "Let go!"

Two rounds of arrow rain attacks killed thousands of Xiongguan guards. Many were killed. The remaining guards were so frightened that they no longer had the will to fight and fled towards the mountains on both sides with screams.

Qin Yi did not order the pursuit. His goal was to conquer this pass.

"Send the order, stop throwing stones, and let people come forward and shout. Those who surrender will not be killed. Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, no one in the pass will be able to survive!" Qin Yi said coldly.

What he wants is not the dilapidated Xiongtun Pass, so he doesn't want to just throw stones at it, hoping to pocket it before it is completely shattered.

If the opponent does not surrender, there is no harm in attacking the city directly. Presumably, there are not many fresh troops in the city at this time, and it can be captured easily.

The order was passed on, and the catapults stopped throwing stones. A soldier walked up to the pass and shouted loudly, "Listen, the commander has an order. If you don't surrender, you will be slaughtered when the pass is breached."

Wait!"

After hearing the shouting, many soldiers who came to visit were extremely excited!

It was also their first time to see such a brave siege equipment, and they were greatly shocked!

I was also impressed by Qin Yi's whimsical ideas, and secretly sighed that the commander-in-chief was indeed a great man. Not only was he wise and brave, but he also had such extraordinary talent for organization.

Is there anything in this world that Master Zhenshuai cannot do?

When everyone was filled with admiration, the soldiers in front of the pass had shouted three times, but there was silence in the middle of the pass and no response.

Qin Yi looked calm and raised his hand slightly.

He prepared to order an attack on the city.

Private soldier Mao Lifu immediately stepped forward and listened attentively to the order.

But at this moment, the extremely heavy Xiongtun closed door slowly opened with a loud creaking sound.

A group of unarmed guards who took off their armor and held white flags, with dejected faces, walked out of Xiongtun Pass with their heads bowed.
