Chapter 329
Seeing that the Shu soldiers had all laid down their weapons, Liao Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried about how strong these soldiers were, but there were still eight thousand Shu troops in the military camp in the city. Although their movements were very small, the shouts just now must have alarmed Fei Guan. If the defenders here cannot be solved in time, Fei Guan's army will be very passive as soon as it arrives.
By this time, the battle at the head of the city had ended, and Meng Da took several hundred prisoners and came down from the city tower.
Liao Hua immediately ordered the soldiers to use torches as a trumpet to send a message to the army of Liu Jun, the lord outside the city, and let them quickly enter the city.
At the same time, he ordered Mengda to take all the prisoners here to a corner of the city wall, tied up all the thousand-year-olds and centurions inside, and sent five hundred soldiers to guard them.
Although there were nearly 4,000 prisoners, these people had no weapons in their hands, the dragons were leaderless, and many of the guards were crossbowmen, and they were not afraid of their mutiny.
Then Liao Hua put the rest of the soldiers in order and arranged them into a triangular formation.
At the front are three hundred crossbowmen, each of which can fire ten crossbow arrows, for a total of three thousand crossbow arrows.
Behind them were five hundred crossbowmen, and behind the five hundred crossbowmen were sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, twelve hundred in all. Behind it was Mengda's 1,500 troops, the entire four-layer line of defense.
Since the range of the crossbow in hand is longer than that of the bow and arrow, the soldier in front did not drive the card, and was not afraid that the opponent's crossbowman would release the arrow.
More than 3,000 soldiers to block Fei Guan's 8,000 soldiers must be a vicious battle, although the lord Liu Jun also has an army of 5,000, but their task is to capture the entire city of Chengdu, therefore, here can only rely on Liao Hua and Meng Da's people.
In the barracks outside the city, Liu Jun and Deng Ai had already made preparations and quickly took action. Therefore, before Fei Guan's army came, he arrived in the city.
Deng Ai led 2,000 soldiers to seize the other two gates, while Liu Qiao personally led 3,000 soldiers to kill the Shu palace.
Yangwei General Fei Guan, recently every night when resting, people do not unload their armor, horses do not leave the saddle.
Tonight, I had just laid down in my clothes when I was awakened by a shouting of killing.
Fei Guan jumped up all of a sudden, wondering in his heart.
The Han army has not attacked the city, do you want to sneak attack at night?
In the past few days,
Fei Guan has also figured out that Deng Ai led a group of soldiers and horses, and must have taken the Yinping Trail. And that trail, he had heard, was very difficult, and it was stepped on by the medicine picker. Some places are purely cliffs that can only be reached by climbing ropes.
In this case, how could the Han army bring
siege equipment? Without siege equipment, what role could it play in sneaking attacks at night?
He listened carefully, and shouted that the killing voice came from Ximen, but it was gradually weakening.
So Fei Guan gathered soldiers while sending people to inquire about the news.
However, when the soldier returned to report to him, Fei Guan almost fell off his horse in shock.
"What do you say? The Han army has already entered the city!" It took a long time for Fei Guan to slow down, "Daring, you dare to lie about the military situation, come to the people, behead me!"
"General Rao... Spare your life, what the villain said is true!" The soldier trembled with fright, and couldn't stop kowtowing, "Military Sima Xuli was beaten by... Beheaded by the enemy general... Kill... , now the whole city is on the upper floor, all ... All Han soldiers..." "
Han army... How many troops does the Han army have?" asked Fei Guanjing.
"Great... There are about... There are four... 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.
"Four or five thousand?" Fei Guan calmed his mind a little, there were not many soldiers and horses in the city that the Han army entered, and there were still eight thousand soldiers under his command, "Quick, rush to the west gate and kill the Han army!"
Before he reached the west gate, he found from a distance that the Han army had already lined up the formation. But what made Fei Guan feel strange was that the front of the formation was not a crossbowman, nor a sword and shield soldier, but hundreds of soldiers holding a strange wooden instrument in his hand, he had never seen before, could this kill people?
When the Shu army heard the order, it rushed forward like a tide.
"Ah..."
suddenly a scream came out, followed by the person on his back.
Fei Guan was surprised to find that the soldiers who rushed over actually fell down layer by layer, and then he saw clearly that from those strange weapons of the Han army, a powerful arrow shot out!
This is a crossbow!" "
For the crossbow, many people have heard of it, but have not seen it, and Fei Guan is the same. When he reacted, his face changed greatly, because of the power of the crossbow, he knew.
And those Shu soldiers who had just rushed over, at least three or four arrows were shot into each corpse.
Even the range of the crossbow is above the bow and arrow, even if he let those crossbowmen under his command release arrows, it is meaningless.
Fortunately, the number of crossbowmen on the other side was not large, so Fei Guan decided to rush over at all costs, which was also the only way.
"Rush over for me, those who retreat, behead on the spot!" Fei
Guan's order, and his personal soldiers immediately killed several retreating soldiers.
When the other soldiers saw it, how dare they retreat again, so they raised their shields and rushed forward.
Each company had ten crossbow arrows on it, and soon it was fired, and although the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, it finally rushed over. Five hundred crossbowmen began to release arrows, and the crossbowmen of the Shu army finally found an opportunity and began to shoot.
After firing four or five rounds of arrows, the two sides collided and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
In the rush and kill just now, the Shu army paid the price of thousands of people. However, at this time, the strength of the two sides was still very different, and the Shu army was twice as large as the Han army.
However, the Han army is fierce and brave, and the individual combat ability is extremely strong, whether it is a Han knife or a long gun, it is also lighter and sharper than the weapons of the Shu army, plus from the beginning, Liao Hua and Meng Da are in the front, a knife and a shot, dancing like flying, the soldiers of the Shu army will die when they touch it, and die next to each other, and the morale of the Han army as a whole is not weaker than that of the Shu army.
"Meng Da..." At this time, Fei Guan found that one of the generals of the Han army turned out to be Meng Da, which made him furious, "Meng Da Xiaoer, you rebel..."
"Fei Guan, the king of Shu is treacherous, my lord King Han is the orthodox of the world, if you say rebellion, you are!" Meng Da said loudly while fighting.
"All the soldiers listen, the one who kills Meng Da will be rewarded with five hundred gold!" ordered Fei Guan loudly.
"Kill!" When the soldiers of the Shu army heard this, they were all excited, five hundred gold is not a small amount, they didn't care, whether Fei Guan could take it out or not, and whether they had a life to get it, they just shouted and rushed to Meng Da.
