Chapter five hundred and thirty-eight strange battle situation
"General, you are so amazing!" The soldier who had been urging Zhao Yun before wiped the sweat from his face and gave Zhao Yun excitedly.
Zhao Yun still remained calm: "It depends on all brothers riding skills. But brothers, don't relax your vigilance. Only by rushing away the enemy cavalry in front of you can you truly escape."
"General, don't worry, we have followed the general for many years and have always fought with swords and guns on horseback. Using bows and arrows has only been a matter of one or two years. Just be careful, let these cowards from Yuzhou see what real cavalry is!"
The soldiers were all very motivated. Wu Qian replaced the cavalry with spears and rushed towards the corner of the semicircle with murderous aura.
Fierce battles here are in full swing. Zhao Yun led 5,000 cavalry, using his superb cavalry, sometimes harassing bows and arrows, and sometimes rushing to kill Ji Ling's tens of thousands of troops five miles outside Luoyang City, and it is difficult to move forward any further.
Ji Ling swore with enthusiasm, but the battle turned out like this, making him feel uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. Looking at the battle situation in front of him, he felt extremely strange and it didn't seem like it was real. However, the faint pain from the wound on his shoulder told him that this was the truth.
On the other side of Hulao Pass, since the Shocking Crossbow stopped firing, Lei Chu suppressed the entire army.
The arrow tower, the ladder, and the city car crashed into the city, attacked together. Under the city gate, there were crowds of people and the offensive was very fierce.
"General Lei, there have been no reinforcements coming from Luoyang City. It seems that we can conquer Hulao Pass as soon as possible and tomorrow, and we can attack Luoyang directly. Then in front of the lord, you will be the first to achieve your goal."
"That's right, I'll be right. I'll be in the end and I'll be in the general and I'll help you and cultivate more."
Several generals surrounded Lei Chu and kept showing their diligence.
But Lei Bu suddenly changed his face: "No, no..."
Several generals wondered: "What's wrong?"
Lei Bu frowned and looked at the battlefield ahead: "We have been attacking Hulao Pass for one day. Luoyang City must have learned that the city is only more than twenty miles away from this pass. Even if the infantry rushes to the road, they should have arrived. Why is there no response in Luoyang City? Isn't this strange?"
The few people were stunned by what he said.
"Oh no!" Lei Bu suddenly shouted.
"It must be that guy Ji Ling who fought for me and launched an attack in advance and broke into Hangu Pass. Therefore, Luoyang naturally could not divide his troops to rescue him. This must be the case!"
How could they have thought that Ji Ling had almost no fight at Hangu Pass, and the defenders took the initiative to retreat without persevering for half a quarter of an hour.
"I see what the lord meant. I originally wanted General Ji Ling as the main force. If he really wanted to take Luoyang, it would be exactly the same as the lord's wishes. There is nothing wrong with it."
As soon as a general said this, Lei Bu and several other generals immediately stared at him angrily, scaring him so much that he hurriedly closed his mouth.
"Ji Ling usually relies on his lord's favor and does not take us seriously. Now he dares to openly disobey orders. If he really wins the first merit, we are afraid that he will be suppressed by him and cannot raise our heads."
Lei Bu said hatefully.
A general next to him suddenly looked happy.
"I thought this was a good opportunity!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked at him.
This person explained: "You think, in order to win military merits, he launched an attack in advance and attracted the troops of Gao Shun of Luoyang. Gao Shun is a man who is like a god. Although he only has more than 20,000 troops, it is very difficult for Ji Ling to win. But what about us? There are no reinforcements at Hulao Pass, how many days can he with just 10,000 troops?"
Lei Bu's face quickly turned from anger to joy.
"It's amazing, it's so wonderful. When I get the first merit, hum, let Ji Ling lead me to the horse, haha!"
He shouted to the messenger not far away: "Send the command and speed up the attack. Even if it's dark, you must attack at night without delay!"
The ladders climbed up the city walls densely and took out almost all the ladders in the army.
Under such a powerful offensive, the defenders on the city wall finally began to overwhelm. One after another, one soldiers from Yuzhou after another climbed the city tower. Although there were only a few hundred people now, it was not enough to play a big role, but the morale of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou was greatly boosted, and Lei Bu was so happy that he almost danced.
However, on the city tower, the guard saw that the enemy had used all his strength, not only did not feel nervous or fearful, but instead showed a relaxed smile.
"Okay, the enemy has been trapped! Brothers, take action!"
With his shout, "Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh...", the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded.
Thousands of crossbow arrows shot out from the city gate in an instant, and then there were constant wailing under the city.
"What's going on? Didn't they use up their crossbow arrows?"
Thunder Book was shocked.
Soon, the second wave of crossbow arrows shot out again. The dozens of shocked crossbows were all adjusted to one angle and aimed at one direction. Two waves of crossbow arrows came down, and the number of enemy troops at about thirty or forty steps in front of the city gate was significantly reduced a lot.
"Kill it up, kill it up. As long as a few thousand people climbed to the city gate, our army will be sure to win, and they are all standing there!"
Lei Chu kept shouting orders, and some soldiers mustered up the courage to run forward, but followed by another wave of crossbow arrows, which instantly made these people who dared to rush forward like hornets' nests.
This situation directly scared the Yuzhou soldiers behind him so that no one dared to rush forward any more.
"Waste, all waste!" Lei Bu was furious.
"Click...Click..."
The Jingshen Crossbow adjusted the angle at the same time, followed by another wave of crossbow arrows.
This wave of crossbow arrows shot at the enemy troops who were staying forty steps away from the city gate and hesitating.
The soldiers in Yuzhou were already scared by this extremely powerful crossbow. When they saw that the crossbow arrows had increased their range, they rushed towards him, and they were so scared that they retreated repeatedly.
They retreated, and the Jingshen Crossbow continued to adjust the angle and range.
Forty steps...fifty steps...sixty steps...seventy steps...
Every time the Yushen crossbow went further, the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou took a step back, and finally forced them back a hundred steps away. No one dared to take another step forward.
Lei Bu was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Bastard, they are all bastards! Go up quickly, who dares to hesitate? He will kill you unpardoned!"
He ran over in person and killed several soldiers who were afraid of fighting. When he was frightened by this, he certainly had the courage to run forward, but the result was conceivable, just a few more human-shaped hedgehogs were lying on the ground in front of the city gate.
With such an example, no matter how Lei Chu beats, scolds and shouts, the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou will never dare to move forward again.
At this time, the soldiers of Yuzhou who had been within thirty steps in front of the city gate began to panic.
At this time, the hundreds of Yuzhou soldiers who had climbed the city gate had all been killed by the guards in the city, and the soldiers under the city and the soldiers on the ladder were completely in trouble this time. They retreated and fled, and continued to climb up and even died. For a moment, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of troops hid in front of the city gate more than a hundred steps away, and no one dared to approach them.
However, the thousands of soldiers in front of the pass were hesitant and even gave up the attack.
At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened slowly with a "creak".
Everyone looked over in surprise. The soldiers trapped in front of the pass thought that their hope was coming. They were about to rush in, but suddenly they saw a team of cavalry coming towards them. The leader was a general riding a beautiful tiger with a large steel knife in his hand.
"Kill and kill! Dameng is having a meal. You dare to fight, especially when the eldest brother of the Liu family is not at home, he will come to our house to rob. It is really unforgivable!"
This man was Da Meng. When Cheng Liang led the Shenhu Cavalry and Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye and Ye Xiang to Shangdang County for assistance, Da Meng was fined 60 military sticks by Liu He because of the strong force against Cai Wenji.
This punishment was originally done for Da Meng's physique, and it would be better to rest for five or six days. But for some reason, since then, Da Meng suddenly had a high fever and kept talking nonsense. Within a few days, his body was cold and hot. Even Hua Tuo said he had to go back and think about it for a few days before he could have a clue to cure the disease, but when he caught up with the Yellow River, Hua Tuo went to Xihe County.
During this period, Cai Wenji may have felt ashamed, so she took the initiative to go to the General's Mansion to take care of him. She didn't know what was going on. Until more than half a month ago, Dameng's illness was cured for no reason. She had no problems all over her body, and everyone felt that his mind seemed to have become a little more intelligent. Although she was still confused, at least she wouldn't know how to eat one like before.
At this time, he waved his Xuantian Silver Light Slash and led a thousand cavalry to kill from the pass. The dress of these thousand cavalry was exactly the same as that of the war horses of Zhao Yun.
