Chapter [186] Defeating Cao Jun
"Boom boom boom․.."
The ferocious sound of war drums was stirring in front of Hangu Pass. Standing at the head of Hangu Pass, one could see dense black spots gushing out of Cao Ying on the opposite side, like swarms of ants, attacking in the direction of Hangu Pass.
"It's finally here." Seeing Cao Jun attacking, Lu Bu was not surprised but delighted, with a look of anticipation on his face.
The Cao army below advanced slowly, without shouting, and charged like crazy while carrying the ladder.
At the beginning, Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces with the Hu people to attack Chang'an, and the battle was completely chaotic, relying on the crowd to rush up, screaming and charging quickly while carrying the ladder.
Cao Jun, who faced this time, was obviously well-trained, advancing slowly in a square formation, and all the soldiers were hiding behind the railing.
The joint advancement of infantry and Jinglan can be regarded as the ancient version of the coordination of infantry and tanks.
The pawns pushed Jing Lan forward, and Jing Lan covered the pawns.
Normally speaking, in the face of this kind of advancing method of mutual protection, the archers at the top of the city cannot pose a threat.
All the arrows shot will be blocked by the tall well fence, unable to threaten the soldiers behind "743".
But this kind of situation does not exist here in Lu Bu, because the bed crossbow made by Ma Jun is an ordnance that changes the current pattern of warfare, at least it is a military weapon that changes the pattern of city defense warfare.
Originally, in the offensive and defensive battles, the Jinglan was definitely a sharp weapon, which could smooth out the height advantage of the city wall, thereby suppressing the firepower of the city, so that the attacking party would not be beaten unilaterally.
But with Ma Jun's bed crossbow, Jing Lan is not easy to use.
"My lord, the opponent's Jinglan has entered the range of the bed crossbow, do you want to attack?" Jia Mu asked from the side.
"What are you panicking about?" Lu Bu said with a light smile, "If you do it now, wouldn't you be scaring the snake?"
"Putting the enemy closer before attacking can guarantee the hit rate."
When Jia Mu heard the words, his expression suddenly changed, he understood Lu Bu's intentions, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "The general understands, so let's make arrangements.
"Yeah." Lu Bu nodded.
Lu Bu's thinking coincides with Xu Rong's thinking, they both want to lure the enemy closer before killing them.
When a new weapon comes out, the first appearance is the most miraculous.
Because the enemy is unprepared and does not know the existence of new weapons, instead of fighting in old ways.
And new ordnance often has the ability to change the pattern of war, and it can often exert miraculous effects in the face of unsuspecting enemies.
But any commander with a brain will naturally take advantage of the advantages of the new ordnance and pursue the maximization of benefits.
How to maximize it? Naturally, it is to deceive the enemy to come closer, and then suddenly attack, hitting the enemy by surprise.
Hundreds of wells are lined up horizontally, like a movable wooden city wall, the height of which is comparable to Hangu Pass.
On the platform of each well, there is a phalanx of archers, which can completely cover the Hangu Pass city with firepower.
Lu Bu's hawk-like eyes are always observing the distance between the two sides, looking for the most suitable attacking distance.
Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps
"Your Majesty, do you want to do it?" Jia Mu asked.
"No, go forward another fifty steps." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Let the soldiers be ready to attack at any time!"
Keeping his eyes fixed on the battlefield, when Cao Jun was only 150 steps away from Hangu Pass, Lu Bu took a deep breath, and his chest swelled instantly [ON] Dawei ten sounds:
!!!”
The sound of Lu Bu's roar suppressed the sound of the war drum, and Jia Mu who was beside him felt almost shocked to death.
Lu Bu's military order was clearly heard by every soldier. The soldier who had been waiting for a long time by the parapet suddenly swung his mallet and hit the machine extension of the bed crossbow hard.
Countless bed crossbows began to pour firepower, like a cold weapon version of Katyusha rocket launchers, one after another crossbow guns went straight to the well.
The crossbow installed on the bed crossbow is not the kind that archers shoot out. It is said to be a crossbow, but it is actually a crossbow gun. It is no problem to disassemble it and use it as a weapon for the pikemen.
The position where the crossbow at the head of the city is aimed is the base of the well rail. As long as the base is shot through, the support will be lost, and a huge object like the railing will collapse instantly.
And this is not over yet, not only the bed crossbow was started, but the catapult was also started.
Flying stones flew over the heads of Lu Bu and the others, throwing away towards the distance.
The catapult was not placed at the head of the city, but inside the pass.
Anyway, the projected attack is a parabola, just enough to bypass the tall city wall and throw it towards the outside of the city.
At the same time, the Qin army at the head of Hangu Pass also lay down one after another, firing crossbows into the distance.
Everything stems from the attack timing chosen by Lu Bu.
One hundred and fifty steps!
The attack range of the Qin army's trebuchet is two hundred steps, and the range of the pedal crossbow is also the same.
The conventional bows and arrows used by Cao Jun generally have a range of one hundred steps.
The distance between Qin Jun and Cao Jun was 150 steps. All the firepower output of Qin Jun could hit Cao Jun, but Cao Jun hadn't entered the attack range and could only watch and be beaten.
The bed crossbow has the strongest force, and it shoots in a straight line. It arrives first among the three attacks.
"Boom boom boom!"
The crossbow spears were deeply nailed into the lower half of the well rail, shooting out cracks in the base of the well rail.
"Crack~"
"Kach~"
The sound of wood cracking kept ringing, which was sour and harsh.
In an instant, countless wells were crumbling.
Some fell directly because the base was seriously damaged. Not only did all the soldiers above fall, but the huge well fell to the ground, and all the surrounding soldiers were crushed to death!
The height of the well rail is comparable to the city wall, if you fall from the top, you will definitely not be able to survive, even if you survive by luck, you will have to suffer serious injuries such as broken legs and arms...
And the soldiers around the well were even more unlucky. When such a huge monster fell down, everything that was crushed to the point of being turned into a pulp in an instant.
However, Jinglan is still very strong, and the number of people who are directly shot by crossbow guns is very small.
But the matter is not over yet, the attack of the crossbow gun has just ended, and the flying stones from the sky fall down again.
Due to the large size and area of the well, Cao Jun got very close, like a moving city wall, and it was difficult for flying stones to fall through.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless flying stones were thrown out, hitting the well rail one after another.
The base was already riddled with holes from crossbow shots, and the well rail was already in a crumbling state, but it was completely finished when it was hit by a huge flying stone.
Originally, there were still many wells that could hold on, but now they were hit by flying stones, which undoubtedly made the situation worse. They couldn't hold on any longer, and they fell down one after another.
Just imagine, if the city wall of Hangu Pass collapsed directly, what would happen to the soldiers on the top of the city wall and around the city wall?
And Cao Jun was facing this kind of disaster. Those above were thrown to death, and those below were crushed to death.
The formation that was originally well-trained is now completely destroyed.
But Cao Jun's nightmare was far from over, and the crossbows fired by the soldiers of the Qin Army also fell from the sky.
Pedal crossbows are the least powerful, but they are more numerous and cover a larger area.
Without the cover of Jing Lan, those soldiers of Cao Army who were lucky enough not to be crushed to death were exposed to the attack of arrows.
The overwhelming arrows were like raindrops, covering Cao Jun below without distinction.
For a time, countless Cao Jun fell to the ground with arrows.
On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Qin Army kept firing their bows and crossbows, mercilessly shooting Cao Jun outside the city.
It is more troublesome to change bullets for the bed crossbow, Lu Bu did not let the bed crossbow continue to attack, 2.5 and it is useless.
The trebuchet inside the pass, due to Ma Jun's improvement, fired very fast, like a burst of fire.
Under the cover of such high-intensity firepower, Cao Jun outside the city suffered heavy casualties, and was defeated in an instant.
If you want to fight back, you can't reach it at all.
Continue to advance, who has the courage to charge with arrows all over the sky?
Standing in place is undoubtedly waiting for death.
There is actually only one way left for Cao Jun, and that is to turn around and run away, and Cao Jun did exactly that.
In the rear of Cao Jun's camp, the soldiers in charge of Mingjin almost smashed the gongs.
On the commander's platform, Cao Cao, who originally wanted to watch the siege situation, was dumbfounded at the moment.
And the generals and counselors surrounding Cao Cao were all silent and silent.
Only a wave of attacks silenced all Cao Jun's senior management.
However, Lu Bu's set meal was not over yet. Seeing that Cao Jun was about to withdraw from the battlefield, the gate of Hangu Pass opened instantly, and Lu Bu rushed out with 30,000 cavalry in person. .
