Cao Zhen was also frightened when he looked at the mess in front of the formation. However, he still waved the battle flag and ordered Xiahou Ba to continue the attack. This attack was not to capture Tongguan City. If Tongguan City was so easy to conquer, it would not be Tongguan. He was

We have to test the reality of Tongguan City. Now he knows that many Thunderbolt cars have been deployed on the city, which are very powerful, but this is far from enough, so he will try again.

Cao Zhen ordered the continued attack, and Xiahou Ba was not surprised. If he retreated without a single arrow, his morale would inevitably be severely frustrated. Today, even if he paid the price of his death, he had to kill the city and touch the city wall to prove that

Although Tongguan City is solid, it is not impossible to conquer.

"Boundist, prepare to cover and shoot!" Xiahou Ba roared.

"Here!" Wubai archers, who were a little scared by the shooting of the thunder chariot, heard the order and answered in unison. They calmed down, pulled the bow and arrow, and began to shoot at the top of the city.

The Pili chariot aimed at the Pili chariot under the city. Only a few stone bullets hit the crossbowman and killed a few people, but left a deep impression on them. However, they were the most elite imperial guards in Cao Wei after all, and nothing more than

Those who shouted loudly as soon as they saw the blood were comparable. Although their comrades' bodies were around, they quickly calmed down and began to focus on their tasks.

"Shoot!" The powerful crossbow captain issued an order to shoot.

"Buzz!" More than one hundred crossbows roared and shot the first batch of arrows at the top of the city.

There was a rumbling sound on the top of the city, and countless shields were raised, as if the city wall suddenly became taller. Seeing this scene, Xiahou Ba sighed secretly. He knew that he had encountered a strong enemy this time and guarded more than ten Hanzhong.

Wei Yan was not comparable to an ordinary general. He was fierce and fierce, and he was definitely the kind of fierce general who never gave up until the last moment.

For the defender, the most common way to face the enemy's bow and arrow shooting is to hide under the city wall and use the solid city wall to protect themselves. However, in this way, you will not see the situation under the city and temporarily lose the right way.

The enemy's surveillance may leave the enemy with space for readjustment of tactics. Although these spaces are short, at some point, they may cause some immeasurable losses. To maintain surveillance of the enemy, you must use a shield to block it.

Arrow, instead of hiding under the city wall.

Of course, it is better to use a shield to block arrows than to block arrows. Therefore, most people will not adopt this response. After all, there are not many people who can make use of this gap. Only those with strong and paranoid personality can

I won't even leave this opportunity for my opponent.

Wei Yan was obviously such a person. Xiahou Ba believed that the Shu army behind the shield must have tightened the crossbow, spear, and sword in their hands, and ready to fight back at any time.

As expected, the first batch of arrows shot by the Wei army's crossbowmen had not yet fallen to the top of the city, and a dark cloud flew up from the top of the city, interspersed with the rain of arrows above his head, and rushed towards the Wei army's crossbowmen under the city.

"Swoosh!" The long arrow rushed.

"Puboo!" The long arrow entered the body, screaming and muffled groans endlessly.

The defender of the city was condescending, and his range and strength were stronger than the siege. Even with the cover of the giant shield, the Wei crossbowmen under the city were still hit hard. The crossbowmen who were caught in the arrow fell backwards, and the others

But I didn't bother to look at them, but just focused on the crossbow in my hands, and shot as many arrows as possible before being shot by the opponent.

While the crossbowman was trying hard to support him, Xiahou Ba pulled out his battle knife and roared: "Attack!"

"Attack!" The giant shields standing on both sides of the team raised the big shields in their hands with force, put them together, forming a wooden tent to cover the companions who were pushing the siege in the middle. Amid the neat sounds of horns,

Push the huge siege ram and slowly approach the city gate.

The siege ram consists of two wooden frames and a huge log. Their mission is to send the siege ram to the city gate, place the wooden frame, and then push the logs hanging on the wooden frame to hit the city gate. The siege ram is the siege ram.

The most common method is to attack the city gate. Breaking the city gate is equivalent to breaking the city, which has a great impact on both sides. Xiahou Ba has already seen that although Tongguan City has been repaired and has been strictly prepared, it has not sealed the city gate.

.This may be to be able to go out of the city to fight back, but it also leaves a weak point.

On the moat in front of the city gate, a floating bridge had been built with several trenches. In order to build this floating bridge, Xiahou Ba rested more than 30 soldiers. Now, they are stepping on this blood-stained floating bridge.

, pushing the siege ram across the moat.

Looking at the city gate ten steps away, Xiahou Ba roared loudly, encouraging the soldiers. The soldiers were also excited, roaring in unison, pushing the attacking ram, running faster and faster.

As they began to cross the moat, the counterattack in the city began to become fierce. Xiahou Ba could hear the sound of the giant shield above his head being shot by arrows, and he could also hear the shield hands on both sides being shot by arrows by arrows.

He could also see the fallen figures one after another showing flaws, and even see the shadows of the enemy's arrows rushing into the crowd. But he didn't care about these, he could only move forward, not

Back.

"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Looking at the vaguely visible city gate, Xiahou Ba yelled repeatedly.

Amid the roar, the soldiers pushed the attacking ram faster and faster and rushed towards the city gate.

"Boom!" The huge hammer of the siege hammer hit the city gate, making a loud noise that was about to attack. Xiahou Ba was surprised to see the city gate being knocked back and exposed the door-to-door truck behind.

Is the city gate so weak? Ecstasy flashed through Xiahou Ba's mind, and then he was scared and sweated.

How could Wei Yan have such negligence? This is definitely a trap.

"Be careful-" Before Xiahou Ba could scream, all the soldiers suddenly felt a lit up. With a "huh", a ball of fire rushed towards him from two meters away, and the two soldiers in front suddenly rushed to the front.

Engulfed by the flames, they let go of the attacking ram, covered their faces, and screamed loudly.

The formation was in chaos, and the sudden fire ignited the soldiers in the front. Even Xiahou Ba, who was standing in the team, felt the burning heat and subconsciously narrowed his eyes. However, he soon discovered that the city was in full swing.

The counterattack inside is not just about spitting fire, but also about the arrows hidden behind the fire.

Under the cover of the fire, more than a dozen sharp arrows quietly drilled out and shot the soldiers who were burned to pieces by the fire. These arrows were so powerful that they penetrated the bodies of Wei soldiers without any obstacles.

Ar, ejaculated through people's bodies.

Xiahou Ba felt his scalp numb and he couldn't help but take a step back. As the soldiers were in chaos by the counterattacks of fire and arrows, at least half of them let go of the siege ram. The siege ram that had just hit the city gate was a

The huge force pushed back, pushing the soldiers behind him to fall and become unstable.

Xiahou Ba was also among them, and his feet slipped and almost got crushed by the wheels.

The formation was in chaos, and gaps were revealed between the originally tight giant shields. In the gap above the city gate, several fire dragons were spewed out at the right time, pounced on the Wei soldiers, licked their faces, and burned them.

The eyebrows even plunged into their mouths.

Xiahou Ba wore an iron helmet and was not seriously injured. He was just burned with a drop of hot oil on his left cheek, which was so hot that it was very painful. But at this moment, he didn't care about it at all. He just looked at the city that was open and closed.

The door, a chill burst out in my heart.

He could now be sure that the city gate was not only not a weak point, but also a sinister trap, with a very cruel counterattack hidden behind it.

Looking at the soldiers rolling all over the ground by fire and the soldiers pierced by arrows, Xiahou Ba knew that the remaining manpower could not push the heavy attack ram at all. He made a quick decision and ordered a retreat.

The soldiers who were already in chaos heard this order and turned around to escape.

"Don't panic!" Xiahou Ba roared: "Take the injured people with you and cover each other. If there are any chaos in the back of my palace, kill them!"

The panicked soldier was awakened by Xiahou Ba's roar and finally calmed down. He was slightly injured and took care of himself. The ones who were not injured dragged the seriously injured, covered each other and quickly evacuated the city gate.

Xiahou Ba held a giant shield with one hand, stood at the end of the team, staring at the direction of the city gate, and retreated step by step. While walking, he shouted loudly, so that all the soldiers knew that he was

Behind them, there will be no turmoil.

"Boe me!" Wei Yan on the city gate saw Xiahou Ba behind the palace. From his armor, he could see that this was a general with a high status. He immediately ordered the thunder chariot that had been reloaded on the city gate to launch an attack.

.

The Thunder Car started roaring again, and the stone bullets flew towards Xiahou Ba and others one after another. However, this time they prepared too short and there was no time to adjust. Xiahou Ba and others were moving targets again. For the Thunder Car, they had to think about it.

It was not easy for him to hit him accurately. He fired more than ten stone bullets, and only two attacks hit the retreating team. Three Wei soldiers were killed, while Xiahou Ba, who Wei Yan wanted to kill the most, was surprisingly shocked and unstoppable.

, One of the stone bullets flew past his ear, shattering the edge of the shield, but not hurting him.

Even so, it was enough to make Xiahou Ba frightened. He tried to calm down and retreated back to the safe area with the remaining soldiers. Only then did he realize that he was already wet. He ordered his subordinates to set up again and make a move to fight again, and he hurriedly turned to the center.

Jun walked away.

"How?" Cao Zhen held the railing of the podium and looked at Xiahou Ba, and was secretly shocked. However, he did not show it. He just looked at Xiahou Ba calmly, covered his fist on his mouth, and coughed gently.

.

Xiahou Ba took a breath, looked at the blood on his hands, and shook his head with a wry smile: "General, judging from the situation of the city gate, Tongguan has strict defense and many mechanisms, and there are traps everywhere, so it is not advisable to attack forcibly."

Cao Zhen glanced at the unmoved Tongguan City, pondered for a while, then turned to ask the general military advisor Du Xi, "What can I do?"

Du Xi said: "Since it is not easy to attack, he ordered Hedong County to collect civilian ships and prepare to force the crossing of Pubanjin. Although Wei Yan and his son are strong, the preparation time is limited and it is impossible to cover everything. Since Tongguan is well prepared, Pubanjin will inevitably have some shortcomings."
