Guo Bang, a guardian in Sanguan, saw that his two generals were picked and killed by Wei Yan, and he knew that he might not be able to win the battle. He was self-aware, so he put the remnants in and out of the battle and guarded the pass strictly. With the mountain on one side of the pass and the cliff on the other side, if you want to enter Hanzhong, only one person who passes through this pass controls the difficult and dangerous place to prevent the enemy from entering Hanzhong. Since then, Guo Bang urged the three armies to strengthen their defenses, avoid the war, and refuse to fight. The door was closed tightly and no one was allowed in or out.
Early the next morning, Zhang Fei led five thousand cavalry soldiers to fight for battle.
After setting up the formation, Zhang Fei rushed out and shouted to the defenders of Guanshang: "Listen to the defenders of the city. Quickly call out your Patriarch General. General Zhang Fei, General Pingnan, under the general's account, is here to discuss the battle."
The defenders of the city had already received Guo Bang's order-to guard the city gate strictly and refused to fight. At this moment, Zhang Fei was arguing for the battle below, and even the shield was blocked on the upper pass, and he ignored it. Zhang Feisuo was called for a long time, and no one would care. I really complied with that sentence-no matter what your throat screamed, I'll still do my own way.
Zhang Fei was finally anxious and sent someone to Huang Zhong to help shoot down the enemy's banner. Huang Zhong opened his bow and arrows before reaching the formation, and shot towards the banner on the tower.
Hearing a "click", the banner snapped. The soldier who was behind the gate ran into the gate with the broken flag and came to see Guo Bang.
In the hall of the pass.
With a "patter", Guo Bang threw the broken flag on the ground, staring at his eyes, and exclaimed: "It's really deceiving!"
"But so, the enemy is extremely arrogant, we can no longer shrink in the barrier." Guo Bang's general Li Meng said angrily.
"The general calmed down. This time the enemy general must have repeatedly frustrated and turned into anger, before breaking our general flag. If you can't bear it, you will be chaotic. I hope the general will think twice!" Wang Fang, who was quite sober-minded, was aside. Introductory.
"In your opinion, our army can't stick to it?" Guo Bang asked.
"Yes, as long as our army can't make it out. In a few days, the enemy will be in a dilemma and will be in a dilemma. No food supply will be mentioned, but the morale of its soldiers will drop. At that time, they will be in a dilemma." Wang Fang analyzed.
When Guo Bang heard that he was justified, he no longer paid attention to the fact that the enemy outside was fighting for battle.
Until the sun went three poles, Zhang Fei's controversy was fruitless and led his troops back to camp.
For five days in a row, the enemy troops still couldn't get out of the gate.
On the seventh day, Liu Xun no longer sent a general to the battle, and directly sent a partial general Zhang Yi to lead the team to discuss the battle.
I saw him lead the team to the pass, shut the defenders with a spear, and shouted: "My general said, you are not as good as my soldiers. Today, all my generals are in the camp. Drink, let me wait to come and fight with your Patriarch. Your Patriarch will not even defeat my Patriarch, right?"
These words reached Guo Bang and others' ears, and they were indeed getting angry again. Guo Bang is about to go out again. At this time, his general Li Meng can't sit still, saying that he has to go to war and teach the arrogant Han army: "General, this time is a partial battle, let the end general go into battle. Take the first level and come back."
Seeing someone's request, Guo Ben's expression eased a little.
Li Meng came to the closed barracks, lit up eight thousand elite soldiers, opened and closed the door, and rushed to the front of the two armies. With the halberd in his hand, he pointed to Zhang Yi and said, "You will call your Patriarch to come out to fight with me! Fighting with your Patriarch, you lose your identity as your grandpa!"
Before he finished his words, Zhang Yi hit the horse, pointed with a spear, and cursed: "You are a general in the pass? Isn't even me as a general? How can I be qualified to be a busman with my Patriarch."
Hearing a roar in the air, Li Meng Benz came. As the Han army went up and down, even Liu Xun, who was watching the battle on the arrow tower of Dazhai, was shocked.
Just listen to Li Meng shouting, "You will be rampant when you wait! Look at our Fang Tian painting a halberd!"
As soon as this shout came, Li Meng had already brought his horse to the front, Fang Tian painted a halberd as if crossing Wushan's momentum, and swept it at his waist.
Zhang Yi heard Li Meng's Fangtian painting halberd hum, swept across, pale in shock, and hurriedly raised his gun to block it. At the moment when the two blades intersected, Li Meng called out: "Look at the halberd!" Just listen to the loud bang of "Boom!", unlike the sound of metal collision, just listen to the "Boom!" and flew out, when a mouthful of blood spurted out in the air, "Boom!" fell to the ground.
Lei Tong, who was behind Zhang Yi, was shocked to see this scene. Zhang Yi got up from the above, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and ran back.
Li Meng urged his mount to drag Fang Tianji, blinked to catch up, and shouted, "Stop!" He swung Fang Tian's painted halberd, and shot the halberd against the back of the thunder bronze, and listened to "Boom at this critical moment." With a sound, it turned out that Zhang Fei from the village rushed out to respond to Lei Tong and others.
Liu Xun, who was on the arrow tower, looked dumbfounded, and asked Zhao Yun beside him: "What kind of weapon is he using, so powerful."
Zhao Yun arched his hands and said: "In the eyes of the general, it should be the Fangtian painting halberd used by Lu Bu at Hulaoguan that year. After Lu Bu's death, Fangtian painting halberd was unknown, and he did not expect it to fall into Li Meng's hand."
Zhang Fei was fighting Li Meng, and suddenly he closed Leng Jian and hit Zhang Fei's arm with an arrow. Zhang Fei reluctantly shook his shot, and drove away.
In the blink of an eye, Li Meng defeated the three generals of the Han army, and the army was so powerful that Fang Tian painted a halberd forward. Li Meng's eyes glared, his teeth bitten, and Fang Tian painted a halberd against his shoulder, spitting out a mouthful of water to the side with a "split". Suddenly, with silk reins, riding alone, flying horses rushed towards the Han army.
Seeing Li Meng rushing in, the Han army was shocked and rushed to retreat. The Han army was in turmoil in an instant. Soldiers and horses flee first, not giving way to each other, and countless people trampled to death. It was too late for Liu Xun to send generals to support him. The Han army's defeat was unstoppable.
Li Mengcheng mounted his mount vertically, swung his halberd into the formation, like a tiger entering a flock, cutting left and right, no one dared to stop. The closed Wang Fang led 30,000 soldiers and horses to kill afterwards, shouting up, covering up and marching in. The wailing sound was endless for a while.
When Liu Xun saw Li Meng swiping his army to cover up and kill him, he knew the situation was not good, and immediately ran down the arrow tower and shouted, "Arrangement!
With an order, the military formation changed, and the formation was immediately formed. The three thousand shields circled the front of the array, and put the big shield on the ground to form two rows of shield walls. Behind the shield wall, 10,000 infantry crossbowmen are in the first two rows, the first row is kneeling for aiming, and the second row is standing ready; behind the five thousand soldiers, they are staggered and arranged in waves. Do not affect each other's vision.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Yongzhou Army had spread to this side from the inside out, and a large number of soldiers rushed over shouting.
Liu Xun sat steadily in the formation, and when the soldiers of the Yongzhou army were twenty paces away, he gave an order, "Fall the arrow!"
The ten thousand infantry crossbowmen had already captured the target. After hearing Liu Xun's order, the first batch of crossbow arrows flew out. The first row of infantry crossbowmen in kneeling position, then the second row of standing crossbowmen.
Each wave of this arrow rain is the same as the one released with a machine code. The soldiers of the Yongzhou army who rushed over seemed to directly hit an arrow wall flying sideways, falling down several rows in succession. , A wailing.
To say that these soldiers and horses of Sanguan are not worthy of being the main force that Dong Zhuo has accumulated in Xiliang for many years, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Obviously, they were all experienced through the battlefield. Watching the people in front fall down in rows, those behind them continued to shout and rush forward without reducing their pace.
This state is not to say that the soldiers of the sanctuary are not afraid of death, but that they have experienced battles and know the rules for dealing with archers, that is one word, fast!
Archers can be said to be the only long-range combat unit in the Cold Weapon era. Almost every unit will be equipped with archers. But archers are usually not used as the main combat organization. First, the range and lethality of ancient bows and arrows were extremely limited. In addition, archers had a fatal combat weakness, that is, the interval of attack.
Therefore, in ancient times, the archers were used as the main force for combat in abnormal terrain, but most of their functions were used to hold down the formation. The function of suppressing the formation is to prevent the enemy from rushing over and the main force is too late to react. Archers can temporarily suppress the opponent with long-range attacks and delay the opponent's marching speed, so that the main combat force can win preparation and counterattack time.
Therefore, we often hear in many ancient military novels and storytelling, "The left and right sides display strong bows and crossbows, and hold down the foot." This is the role of the archer.
The reason why these Sanguan soldiers continue to rush forward in front of Arrow Rain is because of their battlefield experience, knowing that there will be gaps in the attacks of this archer, and the real effective attack within a short distance will be one wave. The best way to break the arrow formation is to rush up while the archer is changing ammunition and kill the archer formation.
But this time they seemed to be wrong, because these crossbowmen used the Zhuge continuous crossbow that was improved by Pu Yuan, Ma Jun and others. They can shoot ten arrows each time. The interval of attack is not every shot, but ten. Only after the release.
When Liu Xun saw that the scattered soldiers at the back completely ignored the fallen comrades in front, he howled and rushed up again. Secretly sneered, lifted the Beidou spear, "Let the arrow!"
The second burst of arrows was exactly the same as the first. There were bursts of "tweeting" in the air, several arrow walls shot out one after another, and a large piece fell on the opposite side. The screams of crying father and mother were endless.
"Let the arrows!" and "Let the arrows", Liu Xun gave orders one after another, following the repeated rain of arrows, which looked like a waterfall, and continued to shoot at the soldiers who were still hesitating.
Zhuge Liannu relies on the power of its mechanism to shoot arrows outwards, and its lethality and hit rate are far beyond the reach of ordinary bows and arrows. Like this kind of close-range shooting, and the opponent is not a shield unit, the effective kill rate of Zhuge Liannu Camp's arrow array can reach more than 30%, which was very terrifying at the time.
All that spread over were the main melee forces behind with spears and swords. And these arms have almost zero defense against bows and arrows.
After the five waves of arrows of the Zhuge Liannu Army were fired, the ground ten steps away from the formation was full of soldiers scattered through the pass, and a large number of shots were killed. Only then did I know that the Han army’s arrow formation was not so easy to break. Looking at the corpses in front of him, who would dare to go up, wailed, and all bypassed the land of the Han army and leaned back to the north. This scene is interesting. It was originally a large formation of geese, with the head of the geese carrying two wings to cover and kill. But at this moment, the right side of the right wing was stunned to flash out an arc, a piece of dead body surrounded there, no one leaned over there...
