Chapter 1046: The Fall of Hanchang Pass (1)

Views:

Facts have proved that Meng Hun still underestimated his master.

Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

What is Jiang Pengji's nickname

850,000 viewers in the live broadcast room unanimously recognized the humanoid battlefield strangling machine.

Give her an invincible machete, and she can demolish a war fortress by herself, which is too strong to be a person.

The terrain of Hanchang Pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is not much focus on the soldiers, whether it is charging or retreating, it is difficult. The enemy army occupied the advantage of the level and gradually brought the disadvantage back to a few points. The battlefield seemed dangerous, but the Hanchang Pass was still impregnable and difficult to shake.

"My lord, you can't go on like this. Although the soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of the cloud ladder, the city wall is narrow and it is not easy to set up a battle—"

The walls of Hanchangguan are narrow, and there are too few places to stay, and the number of soldiers who climb the wall at the same time is not large.

The enemies were different. They climbed the wall from the back of the pass. The terrain was relatively open, and they could completely kill those who climbed the wall by virtue of their numerical advantage.

Looking at our corpses that kept falling from the city wall, not only did Feng Zhen's face not look good, but Jiang Pengji's expression also became gloomy.

If it is an ordinary city, once the city wall falls, the outcome is basically a foregone conclusion.

However, Hanchang Pass is known as Cangzhou's three natural danger portals, which naturally has a certain reason.

If it was so easy to break through, it would be impossible for the Meng clan who occupied Cangzhou to stand still and be arrogant and arrogant for hundreds of years.

Jiang Pengji decisively ordered, "Zishi, order the soldiers from the city wall to retreat!"

If you continue to consume it, your losses will get bigger and bigger. It's just a meaningless sacrifice, and it's really not worth it.

Feng Zhen's complexion changed dramatically, and there seemed to be traces of struggle flashing in his eyes.

But after a while, his eyes turned firm, "I will obey the order!"

"No—" Cheng Jing stopped Fengzhen and gritted his teeth, "If we withdraw our troops at this time, our momentum will drop greatly, and we will be even more powerless to break through."

"You can also see that even if we occupy the city wall, we still haven't shaken the enemy's defense line. Knowing that it is useless to climb the wall, if you go up to it, you will die. Why should I let my soldiers climb the wall and die?" Jiang Pengji said coldly to Cheng Jing, " This cold barrier, I have broken it today!"

Jiang Pengji has an unusually decisive personality. Once she makes up her mind, there is no room for turning around, and she is insulated from indecision.

"The vanguard, I am the commander."

Jiang Pengji's attitude was firm and did not allow others to resist.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the order is delayed. Even if it is only a minute and a second, innocent soldiers will still sacrifice their lives for it.

Jiang Pengji assumed her identity, but Cheng Jing could only bow his hands and choose to obey with a heavy heart.

Even though Jiang Pengji is not Cheng Jing's lord, but as the other party said - the vanguard, Jiang Pengji is the commander.

On the battlefield, the commander's order is above everything else!

Jiang Pengji ordered the attack to be abandoned, and the soldiers who had already climbed the wall could only fight and retreat, giving up the victory they had won with great difficulty.

After several years of military training, Jiang Pengji's soldiers can be absolutely forbidden, and the influence of the momentum is not great.

In comparison, the performance of the soldiers sent by Huang Song was slightly inferior, the original high-pitched aura had dropped a lot, and the retreat was not decisive.

Jiang Pengji chose to retreat, and the enemy troops who were defending Hanchang Pass were filled with tears of joy, and the voice of shouting made them imposing.

Hearing the sound like a tsunami on the city wall, Jiang Pengji gritted her back molars and asked Feng Zhen.

"Is the catapult ready?"

Feng Zhen cupped his hands and replied, "It's already set up."

Catapults are huge in size, have obvious targets and are difficult to move. They are rarely used except in siege battles and when the two armies face each other.

However, as a technology expert, how could Jiang Pengji not think of a way to solve this problem

The catapult that debuted at the beginning of the First World War in Cheng'an County has been improved for several generations and can basically adapt to various terrain wars.

The most important thing is that the catapult can be disassembled and transported, and it is not complicated to build.

Even though the terrain of Hanchang Pass is narrow and steep, as long as there is a relatively flat place, the catapult can be built and put into use.

Since you can't climb the wall to win the level, then simply demolish this level!

When Jiang Pengji sent people to attack the city, he instructed the rear to build a catapult, which has now been set up and in place.

"When the explosives are made, they will explode wherever they hit. What kind of natural danger portal will be razed to the ground!"

Jiang Pengji gritted her teeth secretly, if it wasn't for the chaos on the battlefield, she really wanted to take down the two heavy copper doors of Hanchang Pass with her two axes.

Cheng Jing also noticed the situation behind, and his face suddenly sank.

The terrain of Hanchang Pass is steep, and heavy objects like catapults cannot be transported at all—

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the luggage carts behind the Pioneer Camp. Could it be that the items in the luggage carts were nothing but catapult parts? With such an ingenious design and manufacture, could it be possible that under the tent of Liu Xi, there are still elite disciples of the Mo family to help

Cheng Jing guessed half right.

Jiang Pengji does have Mohist disciples here, but Zhang Ping is better at people's livelihood equipment, and Shao Guang focuses on water conservancy.

Most of the time, Jiang Pengji provided ideas for the improvement of siege equipment, and Zhang Ping led the craftsmen to try to improve them one by one.

"Give me the rocket—"

Jiang Pengji asked for his own heavy bow. This bow is extremely heavy. From the bow body to the bow string, all craftsmen are made of special materials. According to their calculations, to pull the bow completely, the person who pulls the bow must be at least an eight-foot strong man with the power of four stones.

Jiang Pengji's arm is not long enough, but she is tall enough.

As for the power of four stone to open a bow

Naturally enough.

I saw her stand on the ground, put one foot on the bow body, pull the string with her right hand, and set the specially-made arrow on fire.

The whole body is full of energy, and the heavy giant bow stretches into a full moon under the influence of the giant force.

hum—

A heavy humming sounded, and the huge arrow flew away from the string and flew towards the Hanchangguan city wall.

The arrow made of fine iron slammed into the gate tower of the city wall, and the spider web-like cracks spread around, and the gate beam was uneasy.

"At that place - hit me!"

Jiang Pengji's night vision is very strong, she can clearly see the situation on the wall of Hanchang Pass, but others can't.

None of them could do it, let alone the catapult gunners in the rear of the army.

Cheng Jing watched the whole process, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, and his neatly trimmed round nails left crescent marks on his palms.

Jiang Pengji threw the giant bow to the orderly beside him, still lingering with anger that had not yet dissipated. The guards on the city wall didn't have time to be happy. One after another boulders fell from the sky, hitting the city gate tower, the wall stacks, and the mountains on both sides of Hanchang Pass—

The smiles on the faces of the guards at Hanchang Pass had not yet subsided, but the huge boulders from the sky caught them off guard.

This, this is completely different from the script they expected!

Jiang Pengji looked at the situation on the city wall, her depressed mood finally improved, and the remaining anger turned calm.
