Chapter 354 A brave husband
"Kill--!"
The attack in the Han army flag formation had just been launched. The soldiers of the Han army who had been impatient for a long time were immediately shouting loudly and rushed towards the middle gate of the enemy camp that had been smashed by the Han army's counterweight catapult. The Western Chu army camp was also shouting in a constant state. The soldiers on the camp hurriedly fired arrows and shot straight to stop the Han army's charge. The Western Chu army archers behind the wall were hurriedly arranged in a row, ready to use bows and arrows to cover and kill the enemy under the command of the watch hand. The Western Chu army team responsible for guarding the gate also quickly pushed the door-stop knives forward and established temporary fortifications to protect the already smashed camp gate. They were basically busy but not in a mess, and did not disappoint the strict training of the Western Chu army generals.
"Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!Hu—!"
It is also worthy of the misfortune of these poor Western Chu soldiers, because Xiang Kang's order was sent to send personal soldiers to convey the order, and he failed to deliver the order as soon as possible. The Han army's stone-capping fleet commanded by Yang Bu, the Han army's test tutor commanded by the Han army, actually threw a wave of stone bombs into the central gate of the Western Chu army at this time. The huge stone bombs fell from the sky. These Western Chu soldiers who had just assembled on the position were caught off guard and were immediately smashed and blood was blown out. Countless dead people, and the screams and shouts that soared into the sky even directly overwhelmed the shouts of the Han army soldiers.
It was still at this time that Xiang Kang asked the catapult to change the order to bomb the right gate of the southern camp of the Western Chu army before it was delivered to Yang Bu. Yang Bu, who had not closed his eyes for two nights, did not care about his fatigue, quickly ordered the Han army's catapult fleet to turn around, widen his eyes, and personally helped the Han army gunners adjust the shooting angle, and then fired rocks at the same time to bomb the right gate of the southern camp of the Western Chu army. At the same time, three thousand Han army infantry had also quickly ran to the right gate of the Western Chu army, so that after the Han army's catapult opened the enemy's camp, they would immediately launch a charge.
On the side of the central gate, the Han army's commando had already rushed into the range of the Western Chu army's bow and arrow shooting. Under the command of the watch hand on the base, many Western Chu soldiers also quickly shot feather arrows into the sky. Fortunately, the Han army made detailed use of the opportunity to go on missions and had long discovered that the Western Chu army was equipped with more bows and arrows than crossbow arrows. The Han army assault team carried enough shields to protect them. As soon as they saw the Western Chu army camp, they immediately raised their shields to protect themselves. Therefore, although the Western Chu army's bow and arrows were shot very accurately, most of them shot on the heads of the Han army assault team, the effect was not great, and they did not cause much casualties to the Han army soldiers, let alone the Han army assault team that was shooting back to the charge.
After several rounds of arrow rains thrown by the Western Chu army in a hurry, the Han army commando had already rushed to the trench in the Western Chu army camp. The soldiers of the Western Chu army on the wall were as crazy as they were trying hard to block the trench bridge built by the Western Chu army themselves with crossing arrows. However, the Han army soldiers mustered up the courage and resolutely rushed up the bridge and rushed to the already wide open West Chu army camp gate as fast as possible. The Western Chu army soldiers behind the door quickly held the door-stoppers in front of the door and blocked the door that was smashed by the Han army's catapult.
Unfortunately, the Han army had too many tricks. When they were about to rush to the front of the camp, the Han army commando suddenly threw a number of primitive grenades one after another, and directly crossed the Western Chu army's door-stop knives, and landed behind and exploded. With a loud thunder, ceramic fragments flew around. The Western Chu army soldiers caught off guard were immediately in chaos again. The Han army soldiers took the opportunity to step forward and used the bumping wood brought by the army to force a door-stop knives. The Han army soldiers behind took the opportunity to follow, stabbed and killed and injured several Western Chu soldiers who were holding the door-stop knives, and rushed into the Western Chu army camp through the gaps of the door-stop knives.
But it was only this point, because there were too many soldiers from the Western Chu army, so they rushed up quickly, surrounded and killed the Han army soldiers who rushed into the camp, and held the door-stop the chariot again. Lengshengsheng used the chariot with sharp trolleys inserted at the front to block the Han army's charge. Even if the Han army soldiers threw out the original grenade again, they could not explode the crowd of the Western Chu army's soldiers. They were blocked outside the door by the Semen Knifet. They could only use the door to hit the door and spear to resist the camp-protecting sword trolleys. While fighting with the Western Chu army soldiers, they saw a loophole and chopped the Western Chu army's chariot with an axe, fighting with the Western Chu army to the darkness.
Fortunately, at this time, the three thousand Han army's rear army had arrived. While using trench bridge vehicles to rush to build temporary bridges on the trench, they urgently transported the trench to cross the trench. The ants climbed the trench and fought with the enemy on the battlefield. Some brave Han soldiers also took the opportunity to climb the gap in the wall smashed by the trench and fought with the enemies in the camp from a high point. However, the Western Chu army was also brave. They resisted stubbornly with limited geographical advantages and the sergeant knife chariot, and did not lose the opportunity to enter the military camp.
When the central gate was in a stalemate, the Han army's stone-capping fleet also began to bombard the right gate of the enemy camp. Heavy stones continued to fall near the right gate of the Western Chu army, smashing the soldiers of the Western Chu army who could not avoid it, making blood splashes, brains burst, screams, and constantly making gaps in the Western Chu army's camp. It soon destroyed the Western Chu army's arrow tower above the right gate, greatly weakening the defensive power of the Western Chu army's right gate.
"Quick! Quick! Put the stones quickly! Try to aim for me, and you must smash the right gate of the Western Chu army's bandit army as soon as possible. It's getting late, and we will smash the left gate of the Western Chu army's bandit army! Quick!"
Yang Bu's voice was almost hoarse, but fortunately his hard work paid off. At this moment, a huge rock seemed to have eyes, and hit the center of the right gate of the Western Chu army, which immediately smashed the strong camp gate to pieces. The Han army soldiers immediately burst into joy, but the Western Chu army was filled with regret and annoyance. Then, under the command of Xiang Kang, another Han army assault team immediately launched a charge, and the Han army's stone catapult fleet quickly adjusted its direction again and concentrated its firepower to bombard the left gate of the last camp gate of the Western Chu army's southern camp.
"Hold on!" Cao Ju shouted like crazy, "Send the order to the right gate, and do whatever it takes, you must hold it for me! And the left gate is the same. If it is smashed by a thief's trespass, I have to hold it for me at any cost! You must not let the thief rush into our camp!"
Most of the sun had disappeared on the horizon, and there was not much time left for the Han army's catapult fleet. In order to open the left door of the Han army as soon as possible, at Yang Bu's request, the Han army team, which had previously sent to protect the catapult fleet, quickly distributed personnel to help pull the throwing arm and carry stone bullets. Huge stones continued to fly up in the air, smashing towards the left door of the Western Chu army one after another.
The loss was that the road to advance was narrow, and the Western Chu army was still quite prepared. The Han army assault team that attacked the right gate of the Western Chu army was soon dragged into a stalemate by the Western Chu army, and failed to make a breakthrough. The Han army's stone-capping fleet also fell into a vicious circle with the more urgent the emergence, and dozens of huge rocks were thrown in succession, but they were unable to hit the left gate of the Western Chu army. They could not open a new road to advance. The sky gradually began to turn dark. As night was about to come, the troops of both sides of the war gradually lit torches.
Seeing this, Cao Ju, who was commanding the battle in the high ground in the camp, was of course secretly happy and kept thanking God for his blessing, sharing the huge pressure for himself. Although Xiang Kang, who was fighting on the high ground outside the camp, was calm on the surface, he began to worry and said in his heart: "My luck will not be that bad. If it is dark, it can't open the left gate of the Western Chu thief Army. Just relying on two roads to advance, the battle will be difficult."
"Idiot! Get out of here! Let me do it!"
What was even more anxious was Yang Bu, an apprentice of the Shilingting Blacksmith Shop, who was unable to open the left door of the Western Chu army when he saw that he could not open the left door of the Western Chu army. Yang Bu simply stepped forward in person, pushed away a Han army gunner who had just been loaded with a stone bullet, adjusted his shooting height himself, rushed to the back of the car and grabbed the axe, and cut it down hard at the rope that was pulling the throwing ladle, and shouted with red eyes: "It's the time!"
A miracle happened. As the sky was about to be dark, the rock bullet thrown by Yang Bu himself flew out, and it hit the upper end of the left door of the Western Chu army, smashing the left door of the Western Chu army from top to bottom. The camp gate was wide open, and the Han soldiers cheered again. The Western Chu soldiers screamed in despair. Yang Buze, who had not rested for three days and two nights, laughed loudly, and then sat on the ground, spread his legs open to the sky, and then fell asleep on the battlefield where people were neighing.
"Kill!"
The third commando of the Han army that had been preparing for power for a long time shouted and charged, rushing towards the left gate of the Western Chu army like a torrent. Cao Ju on the high ground in the camp was so angry that he drew his sword and threw the ground, roaring: "Tell the whole army to guard the camp gate to the death! No matter who it is, those who take a step back without authorization will be executed immediately!"
The three camp gates on the south side of the Western Chu army's camp were all smashed by the Han army's stone-cattering fleet, and the Han army's tactical choices suddenly became much more. Xiang Kang quickly stood up and rushed to the edge of the high ground to look around, looking for the main attack direction of his own army. At the same time, the Han army's stone-cattering fleet could also free up his hands and use the remaining stone bullets to blast the Western Chu army's camp and camp to do his best to share the pressure for the infantry attack. Moreover, once it is smashed correctly, it can immediately cause huge casualties to the soldiers of the Western Chu army lined up in dense queues.
Finally, the Han army commando still made progress at the middle gate of the enemy camp. With unremitting efforts and after paying a considerable price, the Han army commando first seized the high ground on both sides of the middle gate of the enemy camp, and smashed the enemy behind the door with the stone bottles prepared by the Western Chu army from a high place. The Han army soldiers who were attacking the camp took the opportunity to exert force and forced a Western Chu army to push open a Western Chu army's door trunk with a wooden impact. The other Han army soldiers also rushed forward and slashed fiercely at the enemy behind the other gate trunks. Then they overturned the front end of a gate trunk to the ground, and finally opened a road to enter the camp. The Han army soldiers who were blocked from the road cheered and rushed into the camp. The Western Chu army had no choice but to face it quickly and block the Han army's advance in a dense queue.
Judging from the chaos of torches and the shouts of killing, the middle gate had an opportunity. Xiang Kang did not dare to waste his time anymore, so he immediately sent someone to order Zhang Zhong to lead the army to attack the enemy camp. He arranged for Long and led the rear army to follow up early, preparing to cooperate with the Han army's heavy armored troops to rush into the enemy camp.
After receiving the order, Zhang Zhong, a powerful general of the Han army, did not dare to hesitate. He quickly walked forward with 500 heavy-armored Han army soldiers equipped with steel helmets and armor, and rushed forward head-on to the central gate of the Western Chu army's southern camp. The Han army assault soldiers on the bridge were also very smart, so they quickly tried their best to make the heavy-armored soldiers forward. At the same time, the Han army soldiers attacking the Ant Attachment also shouted and strengthened the offensive again, attacking the Western Chu army's base with all their strength, fighting with the Western Chu army soldiers on the wall, and the sky was dark and the earth was not allowed to go.
Finally, after passing the crowded crowd, the slow-moving heavy armored soldiers of the Han army rushed to the gate of the Western Chu army's camp and rushed into the camp. They were immediately stopped by the dense Western Chu army's crowd. The spear and sword spear pierced like a storm. However, the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army were not panicked and ignored the enemy's attacks. They raised the steel knife and slashed hard, and they slashed wildly. The moves were all tricks that were both dead.
The result is negligent. Of course, it is difficult to cause any damage to all the heavy armored soldiers of the Western Chu army in steel armor. Even if they stabbed the vital points of the chest and abdomen and splashed a string of sparks, they would never be able to penetrate the steel armor of the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army. On the contrary, every knife cut by the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army could easily cut off the arms of the Western Chu army soldiers, shatter the bones and necks of the soldiers of the Western Chu army. Every shot that was stabbed can directly penetrate the simple leather armor of the Western Chu army soldiers, causing fatal damage to the soldiers of the Western Chu army, and also cut down and poked the enemy opposite one after another, constantly advancing to seize the space in the camp.
"It's the iron armored soldiers of the Han thief! The iron armored soldiers who can't be killed!"
Similar shouts had already been among the Western Chu army crowd, which further shook the morale of the Western Chu army soldiers. They had already been greatly reduced due to drinking water poisoning and the camp gate being smashed directly. They encountered the Han army heavy armored soldiers, which were famous and terrified during the Xingyang War. Of course, the soldiers of the Western Chu army were even more panicked. Even if the supervisor team swung axe behind them, many Western Chu soldiers were still retreating. The Han army heavy armored soldiers took the opportunity to advance step by step, seizing the increasingly large space in the camp.
When all the five hundred heavy armored soldiers of the Han army led by Zhang Zhong rushed into the enemy camp, the Western Chu army had no hope of regaining the Zhongmen position. The Han army's heavy armored soldiers who fought in groups were like a group of human-shaped tanks, rushing around in the Western Chu army camp, invincible, killing the Western Chu army infantry sobbing and fleeing. The Han army commando behind them also took the opportunity to swarm into the camp, helping the heavy armored soldiers to seize more space in the battalion. At the same time, other Han soldiers who were inspired also succeeded one after another, rushed to the enemy's walls one after another, and drove the terrified bases on the enemy's bases and drove the terrified bases and gradually connected into a group.
Then, Long Qie also launched a charge with the Han army's rear army, and with the help of the Han army's heavy armored soldiers, he quickly rushed into the enemy camp. During this period, he continued to throw out primitive grenades with amazing intimidation effect and blew up the enemy. He took the opportunity to disrupt the Western Chu army and defeated them step by step. He quickly expanded the troops entering the camp to thousands.
Seeing this situation on the high ground in the camp, the civil and military officials of the Western Chu army closed their eyes in pain, all of which understood that the camp was destined to be out of order, and the loss of the camp was basically a foregone conclusion. Although Cao Ju also understood this in his heart, he was unwilling to give up and shouted at Gongao: "Gongao, take your army, no matter what, you must drive all the Han thieves out of the camp and save our camp!"
Gongao was also a powerful general. Even though he knew that his hope was slim, he still agreed without hesitation. He immediately ran back to his army and led the Western Chu army reserve team to launch a counterattack towards the central gate. Cao Jue shouted again: "I will order all troops to defend their respective positions with all their strength. If anyone dares to retreat without authorization, he will be killed immediately!"
The personal soldiers on both sides agreed and immediately rushed to various places in the camp to pass orders. Cao Ju then closed his eyes and said secretly: "God bless you, you must help me guard the camp. If the thief only attacked once, I would have no shame to go back to see the king."
At this moment, the battle in the battalion had reached a fever. The Han soldiers rushed into the Western Chu Army camp like a tide. Near the Western Chu Army camp was as chaotic as boiled rice porridge. The soldiers of the two armies who were fighting to the death with red eyes could be seen everywhere. The spears and swords kept piercing through the human body, bringing out a bunch of hot blood. The war spears smashed the human heads, the sword cut off the head arms, the blood waves and white brains continued to splash, and the soldiers on both sides were also howling and falling. The dead and wounded appeared one after another every second, and the number was more than one or two.
At this time, the Han army's individual quality advantages were finally utilized. Even if they were already red in their eyes, they were still heated up by the boiling blood. The Han army soldiers, who were mostly veterans, were still able to dodge their weapons, avoid the enemy's weapons stabbed, and at the same time, they quickly counterattacked, using the best weapons left by Qin Shihuang and Qin Ershi to bring death or serious injuries to the enemy. However, the Western Chu army soldiers with too many new recruits were completely opposite. Many new recruits only knew how to cut and kill randomly, and died in a confused manner under the sword spear of the old sparrow of the Han army. The number of casualties was far greater than that of the Han army. Because of insufficient morale, they were rushed backwards by the Han army and were soon forced to retreat to the camp area.
What's even more terrible is that at this time, the soldiers of the Western Chu army were still constantly showing poisonous reactions. Many Western Chu army who had drunk poisonous water had unbearable abdominal pain, dizziness, and even vomited heavily. They were like slaughtered lambs in front of the Han army soldiers and were easily killed by the Han army soldiers. Affected by this, the morale of the Western Chu army was inevitably even more panicked and gradually showed signs of collapse.
At this time, Gongao had already brought the Western Chu Army reserve team to assist in the war, but unfortunately, the Western Chu Army reserve team had just arrived at the scene and encountered the most difficult Han army heavy armored soldiers. What was even more unlucky for the Western Chu Army was that in order to inspire morale, Gongao still led the way and rushed to the front. Together with his personal soldiers, he became the first Western Chu Army reserve team to encounter the Han army heavy armored soldiers.
"There are big fish!"
The conspicuous armor and dazzling cloak on Gongao, and his high-headed horse, immediately attracted the attention of the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army. Zhang Zhong, the powerful general of the Han army, was the first to see Gongao, and immediately roared, and was the first to rush towards Gongao, who was surrounded and protected by his personal soldiers. The flagbearer behind him followed, and the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army immediately gathered to charge towards Gongao, and the roar directly resounded throughout the world, "Kill!"
"Roar up! Kill this thief in the army!"
Because the Han army's heavy armored soldiers did not have time to shoot torches, in the chaotic night battle, Gongao not only did not realize at the first time that the enemy on the opposite side was the Han army's heavy armored soldiers, who were claimed to be invulnerable to swords and guns, but also personally brought his personal troops to fight against them, trying to kill the group of ignorant Han army infantry, and to start a good start to inspire morale. So...
"It's the iron-armored soldier of the Han thief!"
The screams of the personal soldiers in front made Gong Ao's heart beat, and also made Gong Ao, who had seen the strength of the heavily armored soldiers of the Han army, immediately changed his face, and he was secretly complaining, "Oh, why did you happen to meet these plague gods?"
No matter how much you complain, it is useless. At this time, the Western Chu army was at a disadvantage. If Gong Ao dared to turn around and run away, it would be strange if the Western Chu army did not collapse immediately. Therefore, Gong Ao had no choice but to stop the war horses and shout loudly from the soldiers, trying to use the number of troops to pile up the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army.
Unfortunately, even if it is a large number of people, it is useless. The heavy armored soldiers of the Han army, composed of elite soldiers of a hundred battles, rely on their advantage in equipment, not only killed the soldiers of the Western Chu army swarming in tears, but also kept stabbing Gongao like a sharp knife. In a blink of an eye, they were less than ten steps away from Gongao. When Gongao saw it, he had no choice but to worry about whether it would affect the morale of the army. He quickly turned his head and prepared to escape from his future.
The luck tonight was obviously not on Gongao's side. Taking advantage of the torch light in the hands of the soldiers of the Western Chu army, Zhang Zhong, who had a superb martial arts skills, had an idea. He first handed the steel knife to his left hand, then grabbed a spear stabbed by the soldiers of the Western Chu army with his right hand, raised his leg and kicked the soldiers of the Western Chu army away, and then ignored the enemy spear stabbed on the left, turned the tip of the spear he caught, sank his waist and raised his arms, threw it towards Gongao, and shouted, "Die!"
The spear flew out of the air, and was about to die and stabbed the CCP Ao near the back of the neck. Although the edge of the spearhead was rubbed by the bronze armor worn by Gong Ao, the tip of the spear flew upwards, just piercing into the back of Gong Ao's neck and into the neck. The tip of the spear came out of Gong Ao's mouth again, making Gong Ao unable to even scream. He shook his body and fell off his war horse.
"General of the Communist Party was killed in battle!"
The cry of Gongao's personal soldiers was like a thunderous sound, and it quickly spread throughout the crowd of the Western Chu army reserve team. When he heard that the commander general was killed in battle, the Western Chu army reserve team, which was not very morale, was in chaos. Countless soldiers ran away and immediately became defeated. As a result, seeing this situation in the high ground in the camp, Cao Ju was of course furious and beat his chest and stamped his feet and shouted: "Gongao's husband! How did you lead the soldiers? When you come back, I will definitely not spare you!"
At this time, other Han troops had already broken through the left and right gates of the Western Chu army, and rushed into the Western Chu army camp one after another like two tides. The Western Chu army camp was completely in chaos, and there were chaotic Western Chu army crowds everywhere, and there were also ignited camps everywhere. The Han soldiers who launched the main attack from the Central Gate were as powerful as they advanced directly towards the Central Gate of the Western Chu army. Cao Ju roared and roared on the high ground in the camp, but he could not play any role. He could only watch the Han army gradually approaching his Central Gate camp...
"Sima, our camp cannot be kept. Be prepared to withdraw from Puyang City to defend the city."
Kuai Che's kind advice was exchanged for Cao Ju's heavy slap in the face, and Cao Ju's roar, "Shut up! I swear to live and die with the camp! If the camp cannot be kept, I will never live alone!"
After the roar, Cao Ju also sorted out his armor and said loudly: "I ordered all the troops of the Central Army to guard the Central Army camp to the death. Even if I die, I will never embarrass our Western Chu army!"
Kuai Che lowered his head helplessly and said to himself: "Although he is still a true man who stands tall and strong, he is just like the King of Western Chu, and he is a useless brave man."
Chapter completed!
