Seeing that all the Shu soldiers had put down their weapons, Liao Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried about how powerful these soldiers were, but that there were still 8,000 Shu troops in the military camp in the city. Although they made very little movement, the killing cry just now must have alarmed Fei Guan. If the defenders here cannot be dealt with in time, Fei Guan's army will be very passive once it arrives.
By this time, the battle at the top of the city had ended. Meng Da escorted hundreds of prisoners down from the city tower.
Liao Hua immediately ordered his soldiers to use torches as a signal to send a message to Lord Liu Cong's army outside the city, asking them to enter the city quickly.
At the same time, Mengda was ordered to take all the prisoners here to a corner of the city wall, tie up all the captains of thousands and centurions inside, and send 500 soldiers to guard them.
Although there are nearly four thousand prisoners, these people have no weapons and are leaderless. Many of the people in charge are crossbowmen, so they are not afraid of mutiny.
Then Liao Hua organized all the remaining soldiers into a triangular formation.
At the front are three hundred crossbowmen. Each crossbow can fire ten crossbow arrows, for a total of three thousand crossbow arrows.
Behind them are five hundred crossbowmen, and behind the five hundred crossbowmen are sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, a total of 1,200. Behind them is Meng Da's 1,500 troops, which is a four-layer defense line.
Since the range of a hand-held repeating crossbow is farther than that of a bow and arrow, the soldier in front did not move the cards and was not afraid of the opponent's crossbowman firing arrows.
It will definitely be a fierce battle for more than 3,000 soldiers to hold off Fei Guan's 8,000 soldiers. Although the Lord Liu Cong also has an army of 5,000, their mission is to capture the entire city of Chengdu. Therefore, they can only rely on the strength of Liao Hua and Meng Da. people.
In the military camp outside the city, Liu Cong and Deng Ai were already prepared and took action quickly. Therefore, Fei Guan arrived in the city before his army arrived.
Deng Ai led two thousand soldiers to seize the other two city gates, while Liu Cong personally led three thousand soldiers to attack the Shu palace.
General Fei Guan shows off his power. Recently, every night when he is resting, the man does not take off his armor and the horse does not leave its saddle.
Tonight, as soon as I got dressed and lay down, I was awakened by a cry of murder.
Fei Guan jumped up suddenly, wondering in his heart.
The Han army has not attacked the city. Could it be that they want to make a sneak attack at night?
In the past few days, Fei Guan also figured out that Deng Ai led a group of soldiers and horses, and they must have taken the Yinping Trail. And that trail, he had heard, was very difficult and was trampled by herb gatherers. Some places are sheer cliffs that can only be crossed by climbing ropes.
Under such circumstances, how could the Han army bring siege equipment?
Without siege equipment, what effect would a sneak attack at night have?
He listened carefully and found that the shouts of death were coming from Ximen, but they were gradually getting weaker.
So Fei Guan gathered his soldiers and sent people to inquire about the news.
However, when the soldier came back to report to him, Fei Guan was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
"What did you say? The Han army has already entered the city!" It took Fei Guan a long time to recover, "How dare you lie about the military situation. Come and kill me!"
Two soldiers came over and were about to drag away the messenger.
"General, spare your life what I said is true!" The soldier was trembling with fear and kept kowtowing, "Army Sima Xu Li was killed by the enemy general Now the entire city tower isall filled with Han soldiers"
"The Han army how many troops does the Han army have?" Fei Guan asked anxiously.
"There are about four or five thousand" The soldier did not find out how many people there were in the Han army, but he did not dare not say it.
"Four or five thousand?" Fei Guan calmed down a little. There were not many soldiers and horses of the Han army entering the city. He still had eight thousand soldiers under his command. "Quick, rush to the west gate and kill the Han army!"
"Kill!"
Eight thousand soldiers, led by Fei Guan, rushed towards the west gate.
Before reaching the west gate, I saw from a distance that the Han army had already formed a formation. But what surprised Fei Guan was that the front of the formation was not crossbowmen or sword and shield soldiers, but hundreds of soldiers holding a strange wooden instrument in their hands. He had never seen it before. Could it kill people? ? There are sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen behind them. Did the Han army send these people to die?
¡°Rush over!¡± Fei Guan shouted.
After hearing the order, the Shu army rushed forward like a tide.
"ah¡¡"
Suddenly bursts of screams came out, followed by people turning on their backs.
Fei Guan was surprised to find that the soldiers who rushed over fell down one by one. Only then did he see clearly that powerful arrows were shot out from the strange weapons of the Han army!
"Thisthis is a repeating crossbow!"
Regarding the Lian Nu, many people have heard of it but have never seen it, and the same goes for Fei Guan. When he reacted, his expression changed drastically, because he knew the power of the repeated crossbow.
And every corpse of the Shu soldiers who had just rushed over had at least three or four arrows shot into them.
The range of a continuous crossbow is greater than that of a bow and arrow, so even if the crossbowmen under his command are allowed to fire arrows, it is meaningless.
Fortunately, there were not many crossbowmen on the other side, so Fei Guan decided to rush over at all costs. This was the only way.
¡°Charge over to me, and those who retreat will be beheaded on the spot!¡±
Following Fei Guan¡¯s order, his soldiers immediately killed several soldiers who retreated.
When the other soldiers saw it, how could they dare to retreat? So he held up his shield and rushed forward bravely.
Each continuous crossbow was loaded with ten crossbow arrows, and they were all fired quickly. Although the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, they finally rushed over. Five hundred crossbowmen began to fire arrows, and the crossbowmen of the Shu army finally found an opportunity and began to shoot at each other.
After shooting four or five rounds of arrows, the two sides collided and started fighting hand-to-hand.
In the charge just now, the Shu army paid the price of thousands of people. However, there was still a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides at this time. The Shu army was twice as strong as the Han army.
However, the Han army was brave and capable of individual combat. Whether it was Han knives or spears, they were both lighter and sharper than the weapons of the Shu army. In addition, Liao Hua and Meng Da were at the front from the beginning, shooting with swords and spears. , dancing like flying, the soldiers of the Shu army will die if they touch it, and they will die if they touch it. The overall morale of the Han army is not weaker than that of the Shu army at all.
"Meng Da" Then Fei Guan discovered that a general of the Han army was actually Meng Da, which made him furious, "Meng Da kid, you rebellious"
"Fei Guan, the King of Shu is treacherous. My lord, the King of Han, is the orthodoxy in the world. If we are talking about rebellion, you are the one!" Meng Da said loudly while fighting.
"Commanders, listen, whoever kills Meng Da will be rewarded five hundred gold!" Fei Guan ordered loudly.
"Kill!" When the soldiers of the Shu army heard this, they were all excited. Five hundred gold was not a small amount. They didn't care whether Fei Guan could take it out or whether they had the life to take it. They just shouted. Rushed towards Meng Da.
