Chapter 294 Yumenguan Defensive Battle II
A faint blue light curtain emerged above the heads of the soldiers of the Strong Shield Division, and then the blue light curtain became larger and larger, until finally, this blue light curtain had enveloped all the soldiers of the Huben Legion.
"Click, click, click!"
Taking advantage of this time, ninety huge ballistas were pushed out by the fire suppression department of the Huben Corps.
The crossbow arrows, which are like long swords, are loaded onto the ballista.
"put!"
Commander Yang Hu, who had a cold look on his face, gave the order in a cold voice.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Under his command, the crossbow arrows on the ninety-door crossbows shot towards Yumen Pass at the same time.
These crossbow arrows are all specially made. For these crossbow arrows, it is a waste of time to penetrate armor. The really scary thing about this kind of crossbow arrow is that it can break down earth and rubble. If it hits the city wall for just one round, it will be destroyed.
These crossbow arrows made a big hole.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
The crossbow arrows fired by the ballista roared and penetrated hundreds of Daqin soldiers who were defending on the city wall.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The strong city wall of Yumen Pass was also blasted with holes by these crossbow arrows.
"Fight back, fight back!"
After seeing this, Xue Rengui sternly ordered a counterattack.
"Click, click, click!"
Under his command, extremely dark cannonballs were quickly filled into the barrel.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Immediately afterwards, the fifteen hundred powerful cannons on the wall of Yumenguan roared again.
The roaring sound of artillery fire almost drowned out all sounds at this time.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The artillery with huge impact was detonated when it hit the blue light curtain.
The impact force was completely resisted by the blue light curtain, and it could not hit Sergeant Huben inside.
Although the blue light curtain can withstand artillery attacks, it is not without cost.
Every time the artillery bombards, the blue light curtain becomes dimmed.
"Assault Division, follow me!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Hu solemnly ordered the sergeant of the assault department to go with him to seize the border.
"promise!"
After the sergeants of the assault department all agreed, they followed Yang Hu and rushed towards Yumen Pass.
The sergeants of the Assault Division all wore light armor and held sharp steel knives. They were extremely agile and could climb over ordinary city walls in the blink of an eye.
These assault sergeants who danced like coquettish people quickly attracted Xue Rengui's attention.
"All dragon-hunting crossbowmen listen to my orders and focus on taking care of those little dancers!"
Relying on the intuition of a soldier, Xue Rengui quickly smelled a strong smell of threat from the assault department. This is why he asked the dragon-hunting crossbowmen to focus on the assault department sergeants.
"Click, click, click!"
Hundreds of thousands of dragon-hunting crossbowmen with indifferent expressions, after receiving the order, quickly aimed their dragon-hunting crossbows at the assault sergeant who was looking like a coquettish figure.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Then they pulled the trigger of the crossbow machine, and instantly countless crossbow arrows roared down.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Thousands of assault troopers were shot dead on the spot, and red blood flowed everywhere.
Although they move quickly and agilely, they cannot withstand the heavy rain of arrows.
The majestic force of the crossbow arrows fired by the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow was simply not something that assault troopers like them wearing light armor could withstand.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The dragon-hunting crossbowmen seemed to be tireless, shooting at the dancers below Yumen Pass.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
An assault sergeant who was about to approach the Yumen Pass city wall was shot into a hedgehog at the last moment before success.
"General, we can't charge any more!"
"If we keep going, we'll kill them all!"
A tiger ginseng general stopped Yang Hu, whose eyes were blood red.
The casualties of the Assault Department were too great, and the death of these elite soldiers was not worth it.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Hearing the sound, Yang Hu screamed in pain several times, then waved his hands feebly and said: "Withdraw, withdraw!"
The defense of Yumen Pass is too abnormal, heavy artillery + ballistae + machine guns = no solution.
"promise!"
After General Hu Ben responded, he rushed to the assault troops who were still alive and said: "The commander asked us to wait and retreat, retreat!"
After hearing these words, the assault troops who were lucky enough to survive felt a sense of escaping a catastrophe.
How fast they came, how embarrassing it was when they retreated.
"Click, click, click!"
After the assault troops had just retreated into the blue light curtain, the blue light curtain that had been baptized by artillery was now extremely dim. Even Sergeant Huben inside the light curtain could clearly hear the sound of glass shattering.
"not good!"
Seeing this, the pale Yang Hu secretly said something bad.
He knew that the Fearless Formation had reached its limit.
"Withdraw, everyone withdraw!"
After his thoughts changed, Yang Hu sternly ordered to retreat.
The hard nut of Yumenguan cannot be chewed by the Tigers and Ben Legions, so whoever wants to chew it can chew it!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As soon as his voice fell, the blue light curtain made a loud explosion, and then the light curtain shattered into pieces like glass.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Without the protection of the blue light curtain, all the sergeants of the Huben Corps were attacked by artillery fire and crossbow arrows.
A large number of Huben Army sergeants were blown up high, and before they even landed, they were shot into hedgehogs by the roaring crossbow arrows.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Yang Hu, who was hit by three arrows in the back, roared loudly with his eyes split open.
These Huben sergeants are all his old friends, and every time one of them dies, it makes him tremble with grief.
Under the double attack of artillery fire and crossbows, Sergeant Huben was almost defeated. In the end, only 180,000 of them escaped.
In other words, in the short period of time just now, the meat grinder of Yumen Pass swallowed 120,000 Huben sergeants at the Grand Master level.
After seeing the defeat of the Huben Army, Zhou Wang Yang Yi's face became extremely gloomy.
The Huben Army was helpless against Yumen Pass, let alone the other coalition forces fighting against Qin.
Could it be that the vigorous campaign to conquer Qin ended in an anticlimactic end?
Yang Yi is not willing to give in, he really is not willing to give in!
"I will eventually live up to His Highness's high expectations!"
Yang Hu, who was almost like a hedgehog, staggered and knelt down in front of Yang Yi.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Wang Yang Yi forced out a smile and said: "This battle is not your fault!"
"You go down and recuperate first."
Yang Yi is a sensible person on this point. He saw clearly just now that the Tiger and Ben troops have tried their best.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Huben commander Yang Hu covered his face and retreated.
After watching Yang Hu retreat, Zhou Wang Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "All troops, withdraw to the camp!"
After the ace card of the Huben Army failed to achieve success, Zhou Wang Yang Yi no longer had any hope of defeating the Qin Dynasty in conventional warfare.
He now hoped that after the three Martial Gods of the Fertile Celestial Dynasty defeated the Great Qin Martial God, they would let the Martial God attack Yumen Pass.
"promise!"
After hearing the order, the surrounding allied generals led their troops to retreat to the camp.
On the towering city wall of Yumen Pass, Xue Rengui looked at the Qin coalition forces retreating like a tide with a sarcastic face.
"After the enemy troops have withdrawn far away, send a few people down to count the enemy's casualties, and remember to bury our fallen soldiers properly!"
After taking his eyes away from the retreating coalition forces, Xue Rengui began to arrange the aftermath orders in a deep voice.
He wanted to know the enemy's battle losses because he wanted to report the battle situation to Chang'an.
"As you command!"
Chapter completed!
