Sun Ce was so strong that neither Cao Ren nor Yan Gang dared to disobey, and each of them took back their weapons. Seeing that the two had relented, Sun Ce snorted coldly, and then shouted: "From now on,
All soldiers and horses are not allowed to retreat without my order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! General Cao! As I said before, I will leave the command before the battle to you!"
"Here!" Cao Ren was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted at Sun Ce. Although Sun Ce seemed to have no objection just now, the final result was not what Cao Ren hoped for! Immediately, Cao Ren said to Sun Ce: "Young General Sun!
Please rest assured!" After saying that, Cao Ren immediately rode up to the military formation and began to assign tasks to various arms.
Cao Ren's siege methods were quite satisfactory. He divided the 20,000-strong army into four parts. First, there were two thousand white-horse rebels who came with the army as two wings, three thousand sword and ax soldiers held up their shields in the front line, and three thousand archers followed closely.
Finally, just wait for Baima Yi to step forward to suppress the attacks on the two wing arrow towers, and the archers can press towards the gate of Hangu Pass under the cover of the sword and ax soldiers! As long as the archers suppress the closed Qin army, then
The army can then carry the ladder to officially launch the attack on Hangu Pass!
Of course, all this is not so general. The layout of each point is extremely detailed. Only a reliable general like Cao Ren can arrange it properly in such a short time. Sun Ce who was behind saw him and kept nodding his head, obviously in response.
Cao Ren was very satisfied with his performance, while Yan Gang behind Sun Ce looked at the backs of Sun Ce and Cao Ren with resentment. He wanted to leave, but he was worried about the military order Sun Ce had just issued, so he could only be unwilling to do so.
Di stayed behind Sun Ce, watching Cao Ren's majesty.
After everything was arranged properly, Cao Ren drew his sword and pointed it at Hangu Pass in front, shouting loudly: "Beat the drum! Attack! Wings forward!"
Baima Yi has always been worthy of being Gongsun Zan's ace unit. After Cao Ren gave the order, Baima Yi on both sides of the military formation began to attack Hangu Pass! In the blink of an eye, Baima Yi rushed into the attack range of the arrow towers on both sides.
Inside, and at the gate, Gao Shun looked at the white-horse Yi Cong who rushed out from both wings of the enemy's formation, narrowed his eyes, and coldly snorted: "You want to use mounted archery to suppress my arrow tower? Humph! Send the order! The enemy is advancing.
Two hundred steps attack!"
The attack range of the arrow towers on both sides of Hangu Pass is a full five hundred steps away! However, Gao Shun ordered the attack two hundred steps later, obviously not wanting to start so early. As Gao Shun's military order was conveyed to the arrow tower
After going up, the archer who had already drawn his long bow slowly retracted it, waiting for the enemy to reach the attack range designated by Gao Shun.
The speed of the Baima Yicong was not as fast as that of the infantry. Soon, the Baima Yicong who rushed at the front had already rushed to a distance of two hundred steps from the gate. Many soldiers of the Baima Yicong had already begun to take off their bows and arrows from their backs and aimed at them.
The four tall arrow towers were ready to shoot at any time. At this moment, Gao Shun suddenly raised his right hand, and the herald behind Gao Shun immediately blew the horn. As the horn sounded, the four arrow towers were
The archers shot the arrows in their hands at the same time, and countless arrows fell like rain, crazily towards Baima Yicong below!
As the rain of arrows fell, screams came one after another! At this moment, Baima Yicong was completely within the attack range of the arrow tower. This round of arrow rain took the lives of two to three hundred soldiers in an instant!
When Yan Gang saw Yan Gang in the rear, his heart was bleeding. At this moment, he couldn't care about the previous conflicts with Sun Ce and Cao Ren. He stepped forward and took Sun Ce's arm, shouting: "General Sun! This can't go on like this.
!If Baima Yicong loses everything like this! I can’t explain it to my master!”
Seeing the miserable situation of the white horse Yi Cong, Sun Ce couldn't help but frown, but he knew in his heart that if he retreated, the soldiers who had just lost the white horse Yi Cong would only die in vain! Sun Ce sighed and turned to Yan
Gang said: "General Yan! Calm down! It's a war now! How can there be no sacrifices? Don't worry! As long as the soldiers of the White Horse Yi Cong rush into their attack range, they can suppress the arrow tower!"
Sun Ce was talking here, but in front, the White Horse Yi Cong had already begun to attack! These White Horse Yi Cong were elite troops trained by Gongsun Zan with great efforts. Although they had just suffered a big blow, the White Horse Yi Cong
However, the soldiers were unmoved and resolutely implemented the military orders of their superiors! With the speed of their horses, they rushed to a position only a hundred steps away from the door, and the White Horse Yicong began their counterattack!
The White Horse Yi Cong and the Mao Blade Qing Qi are known as the two strongest Qing Cavalry in the world. However, anyone who has seen these two troops will understand that the White Horse Yi Cong is still slightly better than the Mao Blade Qing Cavalry! The reason is,
It’s because of Baima Yicong’s riding and shooting skills!
Speaking of this riding and shooting technique, it was originally a tactic unique to the grassland aliens. The grassland foreigners were born on horseback. This riding and shooting technique once gave the Han army stationed at the border a headache! And since Gongsun Zan arrived in Youzhou
Later, in response to the unique tactics of these grassland aliens, Gongsun Zan came up with a way to retaliate, and formed a first-of-its-kind light cavalry army, and specially practiced the riding and archery skills of the grassland aliens! This is the white horse
The origin of Yi Cong! If you want to join the White Horse Yi Cong, in addition to good riding skills, you must also have good archery skills. Every soldier of the White Horse Yi Cong, even if he is dismounted, is also a qualified archer!
At this moment, it was the time when Baima Yicong showed off their abilities. I saw a soldier named Baima Yicong holding the war horse with only his legs. No matter how the horse jolted when he sat down, their upper body always remained
Balance! Everyone bends their bow and nocks an arrow, pulls the horn bow to the full moon, raises it high, and aims at the arrow tower above. Even everyone's posture is exactly the same!
"Boom!" As countless sounds broke through the air, arrows flew up and down in the sky above Hangu Pass, and the shadows of the arrows were intertwined, even blocking the sunlight in the sky! Although Baima Yicong has paid a lot of effort
The price was paid, but everything was as Cao Ren had expected. The cavalry and archery skills of the White Horse Yi Cong began to slowly suppress the archers on the arrow tower! Many Qin Army archers were shot by the arrows of the White Horse Yi Cong.
Fortunately, he was shot in the arm or leg, and was quickly saved by his comrades behind him. The unlucky ones were shot in the head, throat and other vital parts, and fell directly from the arrow tower one by one.
, and end up being shattered to pieces!
"Blast the drum! Attack from the front line!" Seeing that the suppression of the white horse Yi Cong was effective, Cao Ren's eyes flashed with light, and he immediately ordered the long-awaited sword and axemen and archers from the front line to attack!
As the war drums sounded, the axemen in front immediately raised their shields and rushed steadily towards the door, while the archers followed closely. Thanks to the white horse Yi Cong attracting people from both wings.
Only when the archers attack from the arrow tower can the swordsmen and archers in the front line pass smoothly through the attack range of the arrow tower. Especially the archers, after reaching the side of Baima Yicong, they immediately divide into two teams: left and right.
, began to support Baima Yicong, and shot at the arrow tower together.
And what these archers shoot is not an ordinary arrow, but a rocket that is supported on the arrowhead and ignites the flame! In order to allow the arrow tower to tilt forward, when making the arrow tower, the Mohist disciples used materials.
Most of them were made of wood, which left the only hidden danger to the arrow tower. Those rockets were nailed to the arrow tower and soon ignited the wooden guards. The fire not only began to devour the arrow tower, but also
It even blocks the sight of the archers in the arrow tower!
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!" As soon as there was a fire, the Qin army in the arrow tower panicked, but Gao Shun always remained calm. He glanced at the situation in the left and right arrow towers, waved one hand, and separated the numbers.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Blade Army went to the Arrow Tower to put out the fire. Immediately afterwards, Gao Shun looked at the enemy troops in front of him who were gradually approaching the gate, snorted coldly, and shouted behind him: "Get ready for the trap! Set up a killing array!"
"Drink!" Before Gao Shun gave the order, the trapped camp was always standing behind Gao Shun. Three thousand people lined up in a square formation, and no one moved. But after Gao Shun gave the order, the trapped camp immediately
It was a changing formation, forming a three-row formation. They stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the parapet, neatly pulled out the sabers around their waists, and shouted in unison.
Outside the gate, the sword and axemen who were rushing at the front were already prepared to accept the attack from the gate, but they raised their shields for a long time, but there was no movement at all. This made these axemen for a moment
I don’t know what to do. Look at me and I look at you. Even if you want to attack the gate, you can’t climb up the gate with your bare hands without any siege equipment, right?
"Weird!" Cao Ren at the back saw it and squinted his eyes. He didn't know what kind of medicine Gao Shun was selling behind the closed door, so he couldn't help but muttered. But now that he had achieved his goal, Cao Ren immediately
He waved his sword in the air and shouted: "Bang the drum! Attack with the whole army! Attack the key!"
"Kill!" Following Cao Ren's order, the sound of war drums began to get louder and louder, and the more than 10,000 coalition troops carrying ladders began to launch the strongest attack on the pass! Even Sun Ce and Cao Ren couldn't help but follow suit.
From behind, even if you can't charge into the battle, you can at least get closer and watch the changes in the battle.
Because of the attack by the White Horse Yi Cong and the archers, the four arrow towers could no longer effectively hinder the advancing army. While extinguishing the fire on the arrow towers, they launched a counterattack against the White Horse Yi Cong and the archers, but only
Can watch the main force pass through the attack range of the arrow tower and attack towards the gate. Originally, the situation was great for the coalition forces, but at this moment, Cao Ren, who had been watching the development of the war, changed his face and exclaimed: "No
