Of the twenty crossbow guns, twelve missed their targets, and the others All eight of them hit the giant shield of the Xianbei people, shattering the giant shield in an instant. The huge momentum almost exploded the log from the middle, and the debris of the wood scattered in all directions, sweeping away all the surrounding Xianbei soldiers.

Seeing that the loss in one day had reached nearly 20%, Gongsun Zan felt that he had to be prepared for a greater loss. After discussing with Guan Jing, he ordered Gongsun Fan and Tian Kai who were staying in the two counties overnight to increase their conscription. At the same time, the elite soldiers will be concentrated in the two counties, and the newly recruited soldiers will be used to guard the counties in order to deal with various situations that the two counties may face.
The two battles have already begun, and Gongsun Yue's army has reached a place 150 miles south of Tangtougou Pass. The reason why they stop here is that on the one hand, six thousand cavalry is not worth mentioning in front of one hundred thousand cavalry; Walking quickly, he caught up with Gongsun Yue with a strict military order. Seeing that there were tens of thousands of troops behind him, Gongsun Yue set up camp on the spot, waiting for the army behind, while asking people to investigate the situation of Tangtougou Pass.
Originally, the function of Longhua was to delay and wear down the Xianbei army. If Longhua and the Xianbei army were to lose both sides, that would be the result that Gongsun Zan's forces would be most happy to see. If Longhua could gain the upper hand, Gongsunyue's six thousand cavalry would surely It would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, but once Longhua was unable to hold on, Gongsun Yue would quickly lead 6,000 cavalry back to Junmi, and even back to the Great Wall checkpoint.
Gongsun Zan's idea is not only known to his generals, but even Huangfu Chaobo's people have already guessed that it is almost inseparable. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo's order to Huang Xu is that it is gratifying to be able to keep Longhua. If he can't keep it, just withdraw the important generals and craftsmen to Youbeiping as much as possible. There is no need to put all your hard work for Gongsun Zan.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day when the sky was bright, the battles in front of the two passes came as scheduled. In front of Tangtougou Pass, the Fumengcha people felt that after three days of fighting, they had basically understood the situation of Tangtougou Pass, so they planned to attack with all their strength today, trying to win here as soon as possible, and then continue to approach the south with the army Right Beiping, so as to achieve the purpose of containing Gongsun Zan's troops.
It's a pity that none of them expected that there are still several trump cards in the pass that have not yet been used.
Fumencha, who thought he was sure of victory, did not order a retreat when the first round of attack was stalemate today. Instead, he ordered the second wave of offensive troops to attack the city. Huang Xu on the top of the city saw that Xianbei wanted to take down in one fell swoop, and immediately ordered the catapult behind the pass to prepare for projection.
After installing the catapult last night, Tian Yu secretly ordered the craftsmen and soldiers to test the catapult, and then made adjustments according to the test results. The catapult can be ready to catapult only after the order from Huang Xuchengtou. The attack distance of the small catapult is between 120 and 150 steps, because the catapult is located behind Tangtougou Pass,
Therefore, Tian Yu set the attack distance of the catapults to the farthest of 150 steps, and each catapult has calibrated the range. In this way, the 30 catapults almost covered the 120 steps before the pass. Step around the entire area.
Seeing that the reinforcements behind him had been dispatched, the morale of the attacking Xianbei soldiers was greatly boosted, while the morale of the defenders at the top of the city was slightly damaged. The troops went to the city, but although they stabilized the line of defense, they did not order the Xianbei soldiers on the city wall to be driven down the city. Now that the second wave has been dispatched, Huang Xu wanted to take this opportunity to hit the Xianbei people again. After all, everything is under his control now.
Soon, encouraged by the retreat of the defense line at the top of the city, the second wave of siege soldiers under the city accelerated their march, and soon reached a distance of 120 paces. Huang Xu saw that the Xianbei soldiers had arrived at the reserved area, and after waiting for a few breaths, he gave the order to attack the catapult behind the pass.
"call..."
"call..."
"call..."
"Om..."
"Om..."
"Om..."
. . .
For a moment, thirty stones the size of a millstone flew over the entire pass, whizzing towards a place more than a hundred steps ahead of the pass. The whistling sound caused by the flying stones attracted everyone's attention, and several Xianbei generals shouted sharply: "Throwing stones!"
It's a pity that it was too late when the soldiers under the city heard their voices. Thirty black shadows descended from the sky with whistling sounds.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Huge clouds of dust rose from the battlefield, and there were bursts of shrill screams from time to time. Thirty huge catapults did not stop immediately after they fell into the middle of the Xianbei soldiers, but continued to roll forward with the help of huge momentum. of blood.
"Ah, the catapult..." Behind the battlefield, the Xianbei army's middle army and other Xianbei generals who were watching the battle exclaimed one by one. Fu Mengcha and Yu Wencheng looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes , I didn't expect the other party to have such a large number of catapults. Damn it, Fu Mengcha wanted to recall the second wave of soldiers who had already been sent out, but was stopped by Yu Wencheng. In this case, it is already difficult to preserve this The two waves of soldiers are gone. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there will be miraculous results.
As a result, the Xianbei Central Army sounded the horn of attack again.
Hearing the horn from the enemy, Huang Xu knew that the enemy was going to use more than 10,000 soldiers to fight desperately. So he immediately ordered the catapults to be exchanged for crushed stones, and at the same time, recruited a thousand crossbowmen who had not participated in the defense of the city, and not only that, but also recruited a thousand sword soldiers to prepare Meet the crazy blow of the Xianbei people.
After hearing the attack horn from the Chinese army, two waves of more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers suddenly went crazy and attacked the city head with all their might. It's a pity that the catapult has already been replaced by crushed stones, and the overwhelming rain of stones fell from the sky. Although the Xianbei soldiers tried to quickly pass through the dangerous area covered by the catapult, it was a pity that in the end only a few lucky ones in the front because of hiding After the first wave of catapult attacks, they have now entered a safe area, but the soldiers behind, looking as if they were rushing to seek death, rushed towards the stone rain one after another.
From time to time, blood mist splashed into the sky among the crowd of Xianbei soldiers, glowing a strange red in the sunlight. In the end, more than 60% of the Xianbei soldiers rushed through the attack range of the catapult, but this does not mean that they are safe. On the contrary, there are more cruel crossbow guns waiting for them. Under Huang Xu's order , Twenty-five bed crossbows fired within a hundred paces.
