Seeing the tragic signs shut down, Li Ru whispered in fear: "This stone thrower is so powerful. How did this thing be studied?" Turning to look at Lu Bu, "Wen Hou, this is not a solution. Let the soldiers hide under the city wall first to avoid it. I don't believe that this stone thrower can be shot continuously." After all, it was the chief adviser around Dong Zhuo. Although he was shocked, he could still see the shortcomings of the stone thrower at a glance. If he could shoot such a heavy rock, the range could reach such a long time. He must use external forces such as a winch. In this way, the filling of the stone thrower would not be so fast.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, please avoid it for the time being and let the coalition's vanguard troops come forward. At that time, the rioters threw rats and were afraid of weapons and would definitely not be shooting huge rocks."

After receiving the order from Lu Bu, the defenders on the pass shrank behind the pass and used the thick city wall to protect themselves. However, the power of the stone thrower improved by Ao Lie is far beyond people's expectations.

Peng Peng Peng—

Another huge rock was thrown down and it was smashed down hard on the wall of the gate. Huang Zhong, who was commanding the stone throwing machine, was a famous archer. He keenly observed that the defenders on the gate had already shrunk to the city wall. So before ordering the huge rock to be thrown, he specially ordered the sergeant to adjust the angle and slightly lower the arc of the projection.

The huge rocks as big as millstones fell again with the whistling wind and thunder. This time the goal is no longer the corridor for people to stand in the pass, but the city wall of Hulao Pass, which is known as a natural danger!

Slap sex-

One by one, one after another, smashing the city wall made of rocks, making a loud noise. The solid city wall sparked with sparks. Several huge rocks hit the city wall at the same location, and even slight cracks appeared. A small amount of stones were smashed out of the city wall and fell to the bottom of the city.

Some defenders who were originally close to the city wall were affected by huge recoil force, and their internal organs were shaken away from their positions, and their mouths were blew away from their positions. Despite this, most defenders still rely on their bodies only on the city wall and vomited blood when they were shocked. Isn’t it much better than being smashed into meat pie?

After two more rounds of throwing, the stone-throwing machine finally stopped in fear of the defenders. Because the vanguard troops led by Sun Jian were about to rush to Hulao Pass.

Four wheels! From the time the vanguard troops started to attack, the total four-wheeled throws carried out by the stone thrower commanded by Huang Zhong. Compared to when he was hitting Yuyang in Youzhou, the efficiency of the stone thrower was improved by another round. Don’t underestimate the extra round of shots. From three wheels to four wheels, although it is just a simple number superposition, it has been integrated into the efforts of the ancestor Wang Ao and Ao Lie for countless days and nights. The master and apprentice thought hard for more than half a month before the efficiency of the stone thrower increased.

After the four-wheeled ejection, not only did Sun Jian's vanguard troops create fighter jets close to the city wall, but also formed an effective psychological suppression on the defenders at Hulao Pass, which severely hit the morale of the defenders. At this moment, there were hundreds of corpses standing upside down on Hulao Pass. It was quite difficult to tell who the corpses were from these corpses, because most of the corpses had been smashed into meat pies, mixed with other meat pies, making it difficult to tell which piece of ** body belongs to which person.

Such a tragic scene made the brave and warriors of Xiliang feel a little frightened. Some new recruits couldn't bear the panic in their hearts and vomited loudly while holding the city wall. Vomiting was like a plague, and soon it spread from one person to two people to one hundred people, 200 people, and even more. Many new recruits or veterans with poor psychological quality began to vomit wildly.

Seeing this situation, Lu Bu said coldly: "Where is Gao Shun?"

Pressing the hilt of the sword and with a serious expression on his face, Gao Shun walked to Lu Bu with a steady pace: "Gao Shun is here!"

He pointed to the soldiers who were vomiting wildly. Lu Bu said without any emotion: "No matter what method you use, let them stand up straight for this marquis immediately. If anyone vomits, behead them!"

"No!" Gao Shun replied loudly, and walked towards the soldiers who vomited with eight hundred elite soldiers. These 800 were elite infantry trained by Gao Shun, known as the "Stealing Camp". Although there were only eight hundred people, their methods were so sharp and exquisite that they could match up with five thousand troops on the battlefield. It can be said that Gao Shun's 800 elite infantry was not inferior to Ao Lie's elite infantry Hu Ben Camp, and even the quality of individual soldiers was higher than that of Hu Ben Camp, but there were only a few people.

It is obvious that Gao Shun is very good at leading the soldiers. In less than half a stick of incense, most of the vomiting soldiers had straightened their bodies again, and only a few dozen people were still vomiting. In order to make the overall situation first, Gao Shun coldly cut off the heads of these more than a dozen people. Seeing Gao Shun's cruel and cruel method, the other defenders were shocked and quickly took out their best mental state, for fear that Gao Shun would stare at him.

As soon as Gao Shun suppressed the vomiting wind, Sun Jian's front vanguard had already raised a ladder and began to formally siege the city. Sun Jian stood 150 steps away from Hulao Pass, loudly commanding the coalition soldiers to attack each other, and jointly launched the first wave of attacks on Hulao Pass. Sun Ce wore a golden crown and stood beside Sun Jian with a gun. As for Sun Ren and Sun Shangxiang, because the siege was the most tragic battle, Sun Jian did not let her follow him, but stayed in the camp behind him, and Huang Gai protected her safety.

"Auxiliary soldiers, hang cowhides! Prevent enemy arrows from sneak attacks! Sword and shield hands, erect shields! Block the gaps in the coalition's climb to the city! Long-lasting hands, step forward and set up the ladders of the coalition to this marquis! Bow and crossbowmen shoot arrows in all directions!" Lu Bu issued orders in an orderly manner. At the beginning, Lu Bu and Ao Lie fought against the Wuhuan people several times in Youbeiping. From Ao Lie, Lu Bu learned a lot of advanced command skills. In addition, with Ding Yuan fighting with the Huns for many years over the years, Lu Bu no longer had the image of a reckless man in history. Although he was still a certain distance from famous generals, at least he was able to rely on the natural danger and tiger prison to arrange troops and resist the coalition's attack.

Rows of defenders followed Lu Bu's orders and began to carry out their respective tasks according to the different types of troops. The soldiers on both sides began to confront each other head-on, which means that the killing was kicked off.

The people of Xiliang are good at riding and are even better at using spears. They are known as the best spears and cavalry. This is fully reflected in Ma Chao. After receiving the order from Lu Bu, the chiefs of Xiliang who were guarding the city raised their spears and poked them hard toward the ladders that were laid on the city wall. Although they could not directly knocked over the ladders, they still caused a shaking of the ladders, which made the coalition soldiers who were climbing the ladders unable to climb up smoothly. Some people were even shaken and lost their center of gravity, fell from the high ladders, and brought a series of calls for help in the air. Finally, they slammed and died at Hulao Pass.

The crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army were also unwilling to give up the enemy, bent their bows and arrows and shot at the gates. The equipment of the coalition forces was naturally not as good as that of the soldiers under Ao Lie, and their clothes and armor were not unified. Due to the restrictions of the times, many princes were reluctant to assign weapons, clothing and armor cast by copper and iron to use them as ordinary soldiers. This led to the weapons and equipment of many coalition soldiers being very simple, and it would be good to have a thin piece of leather armor to wear. Because of this, the arrows shot by the Xiliang Army immediately received immediate results. The arrows with the inertia falling from a high place pierced the bodies of one coalition after another, and the coalition forces that were trying to climb upwards, and shot down the ladder. The screams immediately sounded loudly among the coalition forces.

Seeing that the front vanguard was frustrated, Gongsun Zan, who was the second tier, immediately shouted loudly: "The White Horse Yicheng, all dispersed, and suppressed arrows at the Huzhu!" Five thousand White Horse Yicheng whistled one after another, then instigated the war horses and started running. After finding the target on the city while running, they would suddenly brake suddenly, let the war horses sit down stand firmly on the spot, and then quickly bend the bow and arrows to shoot at the targets they had found in advance. Because in the late Han Dynasty, the three treasures of horses only existed in Ao Lie, the army of the foresighter, so even if the white horse Yicheng who was good at riding and shooting, they could not ride the horses and shoot arrows while riding, because the one-sided stirrup restricted their movements, forcing them to sit down the war horses tightly with their legs, thus losing the waist-span power of archery while running.

But after all, Baima Yicong was Baima Yicong, and they were all masters carefully selected by Gongsun Zan. The accuracy and speed of their archery were really unmatched. One sharp arrow was roaring and flew straight to Hulao Pass, shooting Baima Yicong's targets that they had locked in advance one by one. The screams sounded at the closing. The Xiliang army, who were regarded as prey, were shot by flying arrows, and fell to the ground with screams, or fell from the city wall, falling to pieces.

Seeing Baima Yicong's shooting skills accurate, Lu Bu immediately shouted: "Hou Cheng! Command the soldiers to hide behind Zhang Guai's cowhide. Cao Xing, you go and command the crossbowmen and wait for an opportunity to fight back!" Hou Cheng and Cao Xing were originally generals of the Bingzhou Army. After Ding Yuan died, they defected to Lu Bu with Gao Shun and others. In addition, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others also defected to Lu Bu, and were known as the Eight-strong generals under Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's command immediately had the expected effect. Hou Cheng led the soldiers to hide behind the cowhide and continued to stab the ladders of the coalition forces with his long spears; while Cao Xing was a famous archer in the Bingzhou army, leading the archers to avoid and shoot archers to fight back.

The situation quickly turned upside down. Most of the arrows shot by the White Horse Yicong were blocked by the cowhide hanging on the top of the city. Only a small part of them shot the defenders on the top of the city along the gap between the cowhides. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Western Liang Army, led by Cao Xing, condescendingly and began a fierce counterattack against the front vanguard led by Sun Jian and the Bai Ma Yicong who was wandering not far away. A large number of arrows flew down from the city with the sound of wind, causing inevitable casualties between Sun Jian's troops and Bai Ma Yicong.

In the Central Military Office of the coalition, Jia Xu saw the way Lu Bu guarded the city, and he quietly said to Ao Lie: "Lord, your elder brother is very similar to your tactics." Ao Lie's face, which was covered by the dragon mask, also showed a knowing smile, and murmured: "Brother, you can also use tactics, which is really gratifying. From now on, the reputation of the God of War of Tiger will make his enemies frightened."

Cao Cao, not far from Ao Lie, also observed the disadvantages of the situation and walked to Ao Lie and said, "The leader of the alliance, I didn't expect that this Lu Bu was not only brave, but also an expert in platooning troops and formations. We should not be underestimated. Our army is forced to change its tactics."

Ao Lie nodded and said in the direction behind him: "Ziyi, take the arrow tower to suppress the arrows shot from the city. At the same time, let Brother Bogui retreat, Baimayi will never withstand such consumption."

Taishici agreed and directed the soldiers to push the arrow tower out of the array. Seeing that the arrow tower under Ao Lie could move, this surprised all the princes. The arrow tower is the arrow tower, how could it still move? What is the situation? If it weren't for fighting with the Xiliang army, there would probably be an anxious prince coming to Ao Lie to ask clearly. Of course, if Ao Lie would tell the secret of the arrow tower, only God knows.

The arrow tower with three platforms is nine zhang high, and after Ao Lie improved it again, the movement speed became much faster. Ao Lie arranged a row of logs at the bottom of the arrow tower according to the tank tracks of later generations, and then wrapped the logs layer by layer with cooked cowhide, greatly reducing the manpower required to push the arrow tower. The only disadvantage is that the arrow tower is too heavy and often pushes for about a hundred meters. The cooked cowhide that wraps the logs will be crushed and broken, losing the wrapping force that guides the logs forward.

As the Arrow Tower was put into the battlefield, Cao Xing and other Xiliang Army crossbowmen were immediately suppressed by the coalition crossbowmen at the top of the Arrow Tower so that they could not raise their heads. Although Hulao Pass is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean how high the city wall of Hulao is. It is only with the help of two dangerous mountains adjacent to the pass that the city of Hulao is built. The height of the Hulao Pass is not as high as the nine-meter-high Arrow Tower.

The form was reversed again, and he became the crossbowman of the coalition. Because he was shooting from a high place to a low place, the arrows shot by the coalition were very powerful and carried a huge inertia, and roared towards the city. The cowhide hanging on the top of the city could no longer protect the defenders from losses. They were penetrated by the arrows falling high. Some defenders hiding behind the cowhide, because their vision was blocked by cowhides, had no time to hide, and were shot and killed by the arrows pierced through the cowhide. Until they died, they did not figure out how they died.
