Occupying the mountain has become a luxury. Such terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The opponent can continue to send people to the mountain through lifts from the rear. Moreover, the Xiliang Army itself is not good at mountain warfare. With such terrain, attacking mountains is not much easier than attacking Yangping Pass. So early the next morning, Ma Chao directly launched an attack on Yangping Pass.

The fighting began at dawn. After two days of rectification, the morale of the Xiliang army increased a lot. With the corresponding countermeasures, the deterrent effect caused by the stone bombs thrown by the stone throwing chariot would not directly collapse morale.

The cold clusters of arrows were filled with the scream of death. On the not-so-wide battlefield, dense dark clouds formed, covering the sky and briefly interlaced in the air, and then fell to the battlefields of both sides. Ma Chao even set up archers on the mountain walls on both sides, constantly shooting arrows in the direction of the city walls.

Wei Yan was not to be outdone. The city wall was already very wide. Liu Yi later thickened it specifically. Rows of archers set up formations on the city wall, and the brackets were arranged with archers. Without using the Pojun crossbow, the offensive was not weaker than the Xiliang army. He also had the advantage of the city wall and suppressed the Xiliang army that was siegeing the city.

After the archers' confrontation, they were close forces. At this time, the advantage of the city wall emerged. Rolling wood and stones went together. The open space below the city wall was filled with the bodies of the Xiliang army in one morning. Occasionally, brave people rushed up with arrows and stones, and they would be quickly strangled.

Such a fierce battle lasted for a whole day, and blood was already flowing from the city wall. Seeing the sun setting westward, Ma Chao looked at the unbreakable city wall and gritted his teeth to launch the last wave of charge.

Wei Yan licked the bloody sword, the smile on his face was a bit ferocious. Looking at the Xiliang army that was coming like a tide, he slowly raised his arms: "Pojun Crossbow, prepare!"

"Here!" The deputy general had been waiting for this moment, and the ten Pojun crossbows quickly debugged the direction, just waiting for the Xiliang army to approach again.

The dense clusters of arrows met in the air again. The Xiliang army in front had already touched the city wall, and the fighting sounded fiercely again. Wei Yan's eyes were filled with excitement. Seeing a large number of Xiliang army pressing up, his arms raised high fell down fiercely: "Let it go!"

"Cruff~"

Amid the dull sound, the Pojun Crossbow, which had been released two years ago, showed its power on the battlefield for the first time, and 360 crossbow arrows shot out almost at the same time under the city wall.

The cold arrow clusters brought a shrill roar in the air with powerful impact, and in an instant they penetrated into the Xiliang army formation. The attacking Xiliang army did not even understand what was going on. When they approached the city, large groups of Xiliang army began to fall to the ground. The fragile wooden shields did not provide effective defense. The cold arrow clusters easily penetrated the wooden shield, and penetrated their bodies in the astonished gaze of the shield-holding soldiers.

The shrill screams and panic screams overshadowed the fighting sounds on the battlefield in an instant. Many Xiliang troops, who were not within the attack range of the Pojun crossbow, subconsciously followed the sound. At that moment, fear filled his heart, with few casualties. However, on such a narrow battlefield, the formation of the Xiliang army seemed to have been directly emptied. In the attack range of the Pojun crossbow, it was not dead. Although the dead were unlucky, the dead were even more unlucky. The arrow clusters of the Pojun crossbow were not far away, but the force within a short distance was extremely terrifying, and the penetration power brought was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even if they were just arrows, they would directly nail their feet to the ground. Those who were unlucky were hit several arrows in succession, and they had not been shot into the vital points. They were nailed to the ground like fish falling on the shore, twitching desperately, and their heart-wrenching screams were heard.

In just a moment, the battlefield turned into a purgatory like a human being.

"Click~"

Because it is not like Yueyang City, with sufficient hydraulic power, the Pojun crossbow in Yangping Pass is filled with manpower and cannot be continuously launched. Moreover, it is time-consuming to fill it. Open the crossbow box, take out the empty arrow box, add the new arrow box and aim the cluster of arrows at the crossbow groove, then close it, then pull the winch, and pull the crossbow string to pull the foot. This process takes half a quarter of an hour.

However, the attack of the Western Liang army was severely beaten with the first bombardment. The Western Liang army in the rear had already begun to retreat, and the attack of the Western Liang army was much slower. Wei Yan took the opportunity to order people to shoot arrows quickly in order to maximize the deterrence brought by the Pojun crossbow. At the same time, let the deputy general continue to command, go down to the city and order a group of troops. Just wait for the Western Liang army to collapse, he will break out of the city to pursue the victory.

Ma Chao was watching the battle in the central army, and naturally saw that the soldiers in the front row fell in large numbers at that moment. Although he didn't understand what happened, he discovered the changes in the offensive.

"What happened!?" Ma Chao asked the supervisory team to come forward and killed the Xiliang Army who wanted to escape on the spot, frowned and asked.

Just as he was confused, the Pojun crossbow on the city wall had been replaced with the crossbow arrows and poured out the arrow clusters again.

This time, Ma Chao saw clearly. At that moment, dozens or hundreds of people did not even have the power to resist, so they were shot directly to the ground. The Xiliang army, who had escaped from all over the world, began to retreat wildly. Even if the supervising team stepped forward to kill the deserters, these Xiliang army even launched an attack on the supervising team. The siege troops had already begun to retreat without military orders, which was a defeated Gigabit.

"What is that!" Ma Chao pointed to the direction of the Pojun crossbow, and there was no time to worry about it. The power of the Pojun crossbow, let alone ordinary soldiers, may even be locked by the crossbow arrow, if Ma Chao, who was full of armor, was locked by the crossbow arrow, would have no chance of survival. His scalp was numb and he looked around and asked.

A group of Xiliang soldiers had never seen such a powerful weapon. They shook their heads in a daze. Pang De was still clear and said to Ma Chao: "Master, withdraw your troops quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

The closed city gate of Yangping was already opened, and the suspension bridge began to slowly hang down. It was obvious that the opponent was preparing to fight back, and the morale of the Xiliang army had already begun to collapse at this time. The opponent was very sure of the opportunity!

A fierce light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes. He had always hoped that the other party could go out of the city to fight in the past few days, but at this moment when Wei Yan actually left the city, Ma Chao was not happy at all. With the current situation, it was impossible for his own army to organize an effective counterattack, let alone the two armies were fighting in field.

"Om~" At this moment, the Pojun crossbow showed its power for the third time, and the morale of the Xiliang army was completely destroyed, and they retreated frantically. At this moment, the city gate opened wide, and Wei Yan took the lead and led his troops to run out. He chased the defeated Xiliang army and slashed with brutal killing.

The two words "Ming Jin!" almost burst out from Ma Chao's teeth. Even when he was fighting with Cao's army, Ma Chao had never been so depressed.

But Ma Chao wanted to withdraw, so Wei Yan was not willing to give up. Such opportunities were not often available. He personally led two thousand soldiers to rush out and chased the Xiliang army and killed them fiercely.

"Looking for death!" Ma Chao was ready to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. Seeing Wei Yan chasing him hard, the fierce light in his eyes became even more intense. He suddenly pulled the reins and turned his head to look at Wei Yan.

"Master!" Pang De stepped forward and said, "Master retreat first, and let the last general lead the army to cut off the rear!"

"No need!" Ma Chao turned his horse's head and shouted sternly: "If I don't kill this thief today, it will be difficult for me to calm my anger!"

While speaking, he rushed forward. Seeing the riots in front of him rushing like headless flies, he also disrupted his originally intact formation. He couldn't suppress his depression in his heart. He let out a long roar towards the sky, and the roar rushed straight into the sky, suppressing the noisy battlefield.

It was also magical. When the Xiliang army, who were running in panic, gradually stabilized when they heard Ma Chao's roar. Seeing Ma Chao rushing over, they quickly made way for a passage. The fleeing soldiers no longer escaped, but turned around to fight with the Shu army that was chasing.

If he is not in Xiliang, no one can understand General Shenweitian's influence on the battlefield. At this moment, seeing Ma Chao arrive in person, the Xiliang army, which was originally like sheep, turned into ferocious wolf in a blink of an eye, following Ma Chao tightly.

Wei Yanzheng was so excited that he suddenly realized something was wrong. The Xiliang army around him suddenly became fierce, and at the same time he saw the general who was rushing towards him in the chaos.

Ma Chao?

Although we had never met, Wei Yan was extremely sure at this moment. The person in front of us was Ma Chao, who was known as the general of Divine Power in Xiliang. A cold air rose from his spine and spread rapidly to his whole body. Before he could fight, Ma Chao's momentum had already made people feel breathless.

What's worse is that the wild Xiliang army, which was awakened by Ma Chao, fought back and became extremely fierce in an instant. Although the Shu army has been trained in the military camp for several months, on the battlefield, it is often not just about physical fitness, but more importantly about momentum. If the Shu army is compared to a cow, then the Xiliang army at this moment will be hungry wolf. They may not be as strong as the cow and have great strength, but they are more fierce than the cow. The ferociousness of dragging the enemy even if they die is not something that can be trained in the military camp.

After a moment of stalemate, there was a situation of defeat. Looking at Ma Chao who was rushing towards him, Wei Yan gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and retreated into the pass.

It’s not that he is afraid, but as the chief general of the three armies, Wei Yan dares not and cannot fight his life at this moment. The Shu army’s field battle is obviously not the opponent of these Xiliang troops. If he dies here in battle, Yangping Pass will be in danger.

"Where to go!" Seeing that Wei Yan was about to withdraw before the confrontation, Ma Chao was reluctant to give in. He took off a gun from the back of his hand, and threw it at Wei Yan with his hand.

Wei Yan heard Ma Chao shouting violently, and he felt panicked. He quickly lie on the back of the horse. The gun was thrown through Wei Yan's head with a sharp roar, piercing through the neck of the war horse.

Xilulu~

With a wailing cry, the war horse fell to the ground. Wei Yan pressed the horse's back and slid forward for a distance. He stood up in a mess and walked away with a knife. Ma Chao wanted to chase him, but there was a Shu army blocking him in front. Ma Chao was so angry that he picked up his spear and rushed left and right. The Shu army that killed him ran away with his head and fled. He was defeated by the Xiliang army that followed him and rushed to the city. Seeing that the Pojun crossbow aimed at him, Ma Chao stopped chasing him. Looking at the slowly closed city gate, he raised his spear, and the Xiliang army slowly retreated...
