Chapter 143 Reinforcements arrive
(I went out for a check-up, I was tired for a day, I would make up for the rest tomorrow and I want to go to bed)
Hu Jianzheng's eyes were full of tears. He could not resist Hu Qi's attack without saying that the winch crossbow was destroyed. Even if he was held accountable afterwards, he would have to bear a considerable sin. Seeing Moji heading towards the third winch crossbow, Hu Jianzheng shouted loudly and threw the iron spear in his hand towards Moji's back heart.
When Moji heard the whistling wind behind him, he hurriedly flashed to the side, and the iron spear brushed past his arm. There was a dropping gun on the ground. Hu Jian was kicking hard, and the gun shot towards Moji. Moji had to use a knife to push the gun away. At this time, Hu Jian had already chased him behind him.
On the other hand, several people who had climbed the city behind Moji had been stabbed to death by Zheng Bing. The ladder was pushed down from the city. Seeing that he was helpless, countless Zheng soldiers rushed towards him. He knew that he could not get what he wanted, so he simply leaped his body and jumped down from the city. He cut the scimitar in his hand on the city wall, pulling out countless Mars, delaying the speed of his fall.
There was only one winch crossbow left on the top of the city, which greatly reduced the threat to the siege cars under the city. The city gate had been cracked and the morale of the servants was greatly boosted, and the impact became more and more fierce. The other two siege cars also began to arrive under the city wall, and under the cover of archers, hitting the city wall with force. Many siege soldiers emerged from the shed of the siege cars, and expanded the hole with pickaxes.
One hundred and fifty steps away, Merge had returned to the side of Ashizhimo's horse and reported proudly: "The three winch crossbows on the top of the city have destroyed two."
"Okay, Moji, when the city gate is broken, you will bring people into the city first, and all the things you grab will belong to you. Uncle will ask you to pick ten beauties from Zheng State first." Ashizhimo happily tapped Moji's shoulder with a horse whip.
Let Lu Guangzong command at the city gate, Hu Jianzheng had already gone down to the city gate, and first asked someone to push the two winches at the city gate up to the city, and then directed the people to pile up the pre-prepared stone and wood to the city gate, blocking the city gate, delaying for a while.
After nearly two hours of fierce attack, Huangsha Pass has become in danger. The pile of stones at the city gate has collapsed into the cave entrance, and the Hu soldiers began to climb into the cave entrance. The archers sealed the cave entrance with arrows and shot against Hu Qi outside the city with their eyes closed.
The two pits on the city wall were almost opened. Standing on this side of the city wall, you could hear the excavation sounds on the other end. Hu Jian knew that the last time was coming, and the city was destroyed and the time for people to die.
The ladder to attack the city was destroyed, and the Hu cavalry took turns shooting arrows along the city wall, interfering with the defense at the city. Ah Hu was hit by an arrow on his right shoulder, and still gritted his teeth and shot back.
The pile of stones at the city gate collapsed again. Hu Jianzheng and Lu Guangzong both got on war horses, behind them were three hundred cavalrymen, and behind them were neatly arranged shields, spears, short swords, and the sound of calls at the top of the city was filled with silence and solemnness under the city.
When the pile of stones collapsed only two feet high and could see each other through the pile of stones, Hu Jian waved his hand and took the lead in stepping through the pile of stones and rushed out of Huangsha Pass. He picked up the spears, and Hu soldiers fled in all directions. The cavalry behind him swung out a sword and his head rolled down.
The city gate was already open, and Hunzhiluke rushed out first and led his troops to Huangsha Pass. Moji shouted in a hurry: "Uncle, let's leave quickly. If you are later, Hunzhi will snatch all the things."
"Don't be anxious," Ashizhimo said, "Wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?" Moji jumped up his legs in a hurry.
Hunzhi Luke was only seventy steps away from the city gate, and was about to collide with Hu Jianzheng's team. Three winch crossbows on the top of the city were powerful, and nine giant crossbows pierced into the Hu cavalry, and immediately the horse neighed and the people were yelling in chaos.
Hun's branch was suddenly severely injured. Hu Jianzheng's men and horses blew like a whirlwind and cut into Hun's horse team like a sharp blade. Hun's branch immediately turned over and was rushed in half.
At the moment of life and death, Zheng Bing exuded infinite courage, stabbed the horses of Hun Branch, and greeted the horses of Hun Branch, tearing the gaps of Hun Branch wider. The horse team led by Hun Branch had already killed Tuohun Branch, and then rushed to the tail of Hun Branch.
"Uncle, hurry up and do it, otherwise the whole branch will be finished." Moji was a little anxious.
Ashizhimo said lightly: "What's the hurry? If Hunzhi Luke had only this ability, his Hunzhi's branch would have been swallowed up by Wushi's branch."
While speaking, Hunzhi Luke had already brought more than 200 cavalry beside him to hedge towards Hu Jianzheng. Compared with equestrians, the Zheng people were far less than the Mo people. With one interlaced, Zheng Bing left nearly a hundred corpses.
Hu Jian thought that the giant crossbow on the top of the city should be put on the string again, shouted "Retreat the city gate", and brought the remaining troops into the city again.
After learning about the power of the winch crossbow, Hunzhi Like came to Ashizhimo with a slight face and said in a deep voice: "Huangshaguan is at a glance, why don't your people move?"
Ashima smiled dryly and said, "I see you rushing forward and you are too lazy to compete with you, but you blame me instead. Well, I'll bring people with you now."
Moji jumped out of the horse, glanced at Hunzhiluke with contempt, and led about 400 people to the gate of Huangshaguan. Ashizhimo waved his hand, and the entire Ashi team slowly rode his horse, accumulating strength to wait for the charge.
The Ashi Hehun branch went south with more than 5,000 people. Apart from the 3,000 servants, there were only more than 2,000 real soldiers who controlled the string. They fought with the defenders of Huangsha Pass, with more than 400 casualties, and the remaining were only more than 1,500.
Even these 1,500 people were not something that Zheng soldiers of Huangsha Pass could resist. Hu Jianzheng and Lu Guangzong looked at each other and saw sadness in each other's eyes. Regardless of the victory or defeat of this battle, as the guardians of Huangsha Pass, they would have to sacrifice their lives for their country, otherwise they would have implicated their family.
Only five hundred archers were left on the city wall, and the others were concentrated at the city gate, so bloody battles should not be avoided. Hu Jian looked at the sun blocked by the smoke, and it was almost noon. If you were more than half an hour, maybe reinforcements would come.
Hu Qi was getting closer and closer, and Hu Jian was slowly raising his hand, and the winch crossbow was preparing for the final blow. The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him. Seeing the high-flying Zheng flag, cheers sounded, and reinforcements came half an hour earlier than expected.
Moji saw the dust and smoke rolling in the pass through the city gate. He knew that Zheng's reinforcements had arrived. At this moment, he forced himself into the end of making dumpling stuffing. Before waiting for the winch crossbow to be launched, he turned around and went straight back to the rear.
Ashizhimo and Hunzhiluke also saw the rolling smoke and dust. The two looked at each other and their faces were deteriorating. This time they were injured but did not achieve their wish. There were few choices for Hunzhi and Ashi tribes. Withdrawing their troops, the two tribes slowly retreated five miles away.
