Chapter Fourty-Eight Six: The Lone Wolf Shows His Might
"Your lord is wise!" Several people bowed in unison. The crisis in the army was relieved as soon as Jia Rong arrived. All the generals felt very comfortable and completely put down their worries. It seemed that as long as the general was around and Jia Rong's sky collapsed, they would not be worried.
.
The next day, there were no clouds in the sky, and the dazzling sunshine shone on the body, making people feel that the whole body was extremely hot. It was already summer. Not to mention fighting, just standing in the door for a while would make you sweat profusely.
Jia Rong, dressed in golden armor, appeared at the gate. The sword on his waist was replaced by an ordinary sword. It is said that the most indispensable thing in ancient times was the sword, but the Xiliang army only had the Yitian Sword and the Qingzhi Sword.
, Jia Rong had previously ordered Xianlian Pavilion to collect swords at all costs.
"Commanders and soldiers, listen to the order and be prepared carefully. If the army of the princes attacks the city, they will be defeated and return!" Jia Rong said loudly as he walked among the soldiers.
There were only a few soldiers who heard about it, but after the soldiers told each other, all the defenders in Guan Guan soon learned. Everyone knew that Jia Rong came to Guan Guan and fought against the enemy with them. Thinking of this, everyone
The soldier felt his blood boiling all over his body. He looked at the princes' army outside the pass, with a burning light in his eyes. No matter how powerful the enemy was, it was nothing to worry about.
The banner with the word "Jia" fluttered in the wind. Jia Rong lived under the commander's flag and looked at the neatly marching army of princes. A faint smile appeared on his face, but it was just a show. If he fought with the Xiliang army in close combat, he would be defeated.
One way.
The craftsmen have already placed the Pili Chariots in the gate. There are fifty Pili Chariots in total, standing quietly at the pass, overlooking the army of princes under the pass. They want the army of princes to see what a real Pili Cart is.
The defenders were also attracted by the things behind them and looked around from time to time.
In the center of the coalition, Yuan Shao looked downcast, looked at the dilapidated Hangu Pass, and said in a low voice: "I will not withdraw until this pass is broken!"
The princes from all walks of life have also understood that it is difficult to get off the tiger. Attacking Hangu Pass can be said to have exhausted all family resources and consumed countless grain and supplies. If they return without success, they will face not only the revenge of the Xiliang army, but also the attacks from other princes.
Attack, the princes who are currently in harmony on the surface actually have a calculation in their hearts. Even if they send troops to attack Hangu Pass, they have clearly calculated how many men and horses other princes have lost, how much they have lost, and how much they have paid.
Weapons, etc., lest I suffer a little loss, the strength of the army is strong. Without a cohesive force, how can it fight against the Xiliang army, but the victory is due to their large number, and I have confidence in my heart.
Li Ru wanted to spare no effort to attack Hangu Pass, but his generals obeyed his orders, but the soldiers at the bottom did not. The tens of thousands of troops were basically just decorations. All Li Ru had to do was to provide their elite weapons to
The other princes' armies hope to achieve results.
Occupying Bingzhou and rebelling against the Xiliang army also announced that Li Ru would be at odds with Jia Rong. He also understood that with Jia Rong's character, the first person to deal with was the traitor. If the Xiliang army could not be eliminated in this battle, it would be unlucky first.
It's him.
For three consecutive days, there was no movement among the princes' armies. The continuous battles left them somewhat exhausted. The consumption of engineering ladders, vehicles and other supplies was particularly severe. Basically, all subsequent supplies could only be looked at the city and lamented.
The war drums sounded, and the soldiers of the princes rushed towards Hangu Pass without any effort. The successive battles improved the soldiers' skills in dodging arrows and huge wooden rocks on the city. The princes' army equipped the siege soldiers with the best equipment.
Armor to ensure that soldiers' lives can be saved under oil and manure.
Jia Rong stood at the top of the city, quietly watching the coalition of princes in Guanxia. War was indeed the best way to turn a strong army into an elite one. He was sure that during the initial attack, the soldiers in Guanxia were under a hail of arrows from their own side.
, the number of soldiers lost is definitely twice as many as now.
"Get ready to open the door and go out to fight!" Jia Rong said coldly.
Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and promised that a thousand lone wolf soldiers were already ready. He understood that Jia Rong wanted to fight to completely shake the morale of the princes' army. Zhang Xiu also looked forward to the invincible momentum of the lone wolf soldiers on the battlefield, so that the princes would be shaken.
tremble with fear.
The soldiers of the princes were still greeted by the frightening oil and dung juice. It was impossible for the armor to cover the whole body, but if the skin exposed to the air was poured on, the pain endured was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Listening to the wailing of the soldiers in the city, Jia Rong's expression remained unchanged. Years of fighting had already made him hard-hearted. War is death, and one general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones drying up.
"Kill!" Guo Bang looked a little excited.
Fifty catapults hurled stones full of stones into the city. The unprepared coalition soldiers were thrown into chaos by the boulders falling from the sky. Under the boulders, even if they were protected by heavy armor, they could be smashed into fools, not to mention more soldiers who were not.
Armor protection only relies on passion and the weapons in hand.
Once upon a time, Yuan Shao looked happy when he saw the princes' army at the pass struggling to cope with the huge boulders. Now that the two sides have exchanged identities, one can imagine how he felt in his heart.
"There are indeed many talented people in the Xiliang army. In just a short time, they have developed the Thunderbolt Chariot. Judging from its power, it is no less powerful than our army's Thunderbolt Chariot." Cao Cao's tone was full of surprise.
"The opponent has the advantage of the city. The boulders they fired are bigger and more powerful than our army." Li Ru worriedly said, feeling bitter in his mouth. He didn't expect that his powerful weapons would be defeated by Xiliang in such a short time.
The military researched it and applied it on the battlefield.
The war drums of the Chinese army were still rumbling, and the coalition soldiers did not retreat and faced the difficulties. The war made them accustomed to the sound of war drums and marching on the corpses of their companions. Once upon a time, they had become numb and had seen too many dead people.
, the fear of war in my heart is getting smaller and smaller, but when I think about it in the dead of night, I still feel scared when I think of my parents, wives and children far away. The generals promised very well, but how many families actually received pensions after their deaths?
, the soldiers at the bottom don’t understand the situation, but the junior generals still know.
The command flag was waved, and the boulders on the Perak chariot were replaced by jars, which were thrown at the coalition soldiers. At this time, the coalition soldiers had already attacked the city, and most of the jars fell in the middle and rear of the coalition soldiers.
Intense rockets were fired at the rear of the coalition soldiers, and thick liquid flowed out of the jar that fell to the ground. The experienced soldier suddenly changed his color. The jar was filled with oil.
A raging fire was ignited among the soldiers, but within a moment, the flames were raging into the sky, and the attacking phalanx was divided into two sections, making it difficult to see the beginning and the end. No matter how loud the drums were, the coalition soldiers behind the flames could not stop their retreat.
At this time, the door was wide open, and the faces of the coalition soldiers showed surprise. As long as the city gate is occupied, Hangu Pass will be breached. There are hundreds of thousands of troops behind them. At this time, they still don’t know the rear.
situation.
The soldiers' wails of pain kept coming from behind, attracting the attention of the soldiers in front. When they turned around, they saw a sea of fire. It was summer, and under the scorching flames, the soldiers felt extremely hot and inexperienced all over their bodies.
The soldiers were running around in the formation, shouting in terror, and the fighting spirit they had finally gathered was broken by Pao Ze's screams.
Wearing black clothes and armor, holding scimitars, each soldier was wrapped in armor. Even the war horses beneath him were equipped with armor. From a distance, they looked like moving black fortresses.
Heavy cavalry, if cavalry makes infantry tremble on a vast battlefield, then heavy cavalry is invincible and irresistible.
A huge fire had just broken out among the attacking soldiers. Yuan Shao's calm expression was gone forever, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pay gold and withdraw their troops.
Li Ru sighed. He did not expect that the Xiliang Army would use the advantage of the Thunderbolt Chariot to throw the oil from the gate and block the retreat of the attacking soldiers. At this time, about 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers were in a sea of fire. It was extremely difficult to retreat.
There were no rumbling war drums, and soldiers in black clothes and armor kept harvesting the lives of panicked coalition soldiers. If the princes saw these soldiers at this time, they would be shocked. The speed of their killing was shocking. The sword flashed, and no one missed.
Simple and practical moves, superb equestrian skills, and rigorous coordination. Even infantrymen would find it difficult to have such strong coordination.
In just a quarter of an hour, the chaotic princes' army was beaten through. Facing this group of soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness, the black armored army did not hesitate at all. Like a fighting machine, they tirelessly raised their swords and reaped the rewards with every move.
, it gives people the impression that it is very simple, but it contains huge lethality.
When the fire gradually extinguished, there were corpses everywhere and flags scattered on the ground.
Yuan Shao clenched his fists tightly and gritted his steel teeth. From the beginning of the war to the present, the princes' army had never suffered such losses. In just one hour, only more than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers were left, and no soldiers even climbed up the city wall.
.
The obstruction of the sea of fire prevented the princes' army from seeing who the Xiliang army under the harvest pass was, but the princes could be sure that this team must be amazingly efficient. Even if two thousand pigs stood there and were killed, it would be short.
You can't kill them so cleanly in a short amount of time, leaving no trace behind.
Along with the majesty, the soldiers who closed the gate could smell the faint aroma of meat.
The princes did not see it, but the defenders at the gate saw it clearly. From the beginning to the end, the princes' army had no resistance. I don't know whether the princes' army was too weak or the Xiliang army was too strong. In the past, they could bravely climb the city wall.
The army of the princes was actually so weak. More importantly, which of these soldiers, all covered in black armor, were from their own side? The astonishing kill rate and low loss rate made the defenders forget to shout for a while.
"Lord, with our army so strong, there is no need to worry about being defeated by the enemy!" Guo Jia said excitedly.
Jia Rong nodded slightly and said: "Is it true that the coalition forces of the princes are bullying our Xiliang army?"
