Outside the Yangping pass, there are more than ten miles of barracks. Banners flutter in the barracks. I don't know how many armies there are. A momentum that can't be said rises slowly from the camp, showing the power of the Liangzhou army.
On the other hand, in the Liangzhou army's more than ten li company battalion, it was Yangpingguan.
Yangpingguan is the barrier to the east of Hanzhong county. Its geographical position is very dangerous. It is built on the mountain, so it is extremely strong. For Hanzhong, Yangping pass is just like Hulao pass for Luoyang, where one man is in charge of the pass and no one can open it.
On the head of Yangping pass, there is a big flag with the character of Yang flying in the wind.
In the shadow of the flag, standing in the shadow of a full-length Hanzhong military general, holding a long knife in his hand, a look of self satisfaction.
"Hum, what Liangzhou army has won a hundred battles. Liu Yuqing is invincible in the world. In front of our Yangpingguan pass, Liu Yuqing is just a smash in the head."
I can see in Yangpingguan city wall traces mottled, with a thick blood color, penetrated into the masonry. Under the city walls, there were also bloody traces, but there were no bodies. The soldiers of Liangzhou who died in the battle, except those who died at the head of the city, were dragged back by their colleagues.
It is not difficult to imagine that not long ago, there must have been a very tragic war, Liangzhou army in Yangping pass shed a lot of blood.
Dong Dong Dong Dong! All of a sudden, the sound of war drums in Liangzhou barracks suddenly sounded. The camp village, which was still quite quiet, suddenly woke up like a sleeping beast and made a noisy sound.
"General Yang, Liangzhou army is going to attack the city again."
"What are you afraid of?"
Yang Ren encouraged the soldiers of Hanzhong behind him: "brothers, I am as firm as a rock in Yangping pass. Did you see that the Liangzhou army attacked the city yesterday? It can only be defeated! "
"Our army will win!"
The morale of the soldiers in Hanzhong was high, and they were still worried, but the Yangpingguan pass was indeed solid, and the attack of Liangzhou army was defeated, so they basically had no fear of war.
In the past, the cavalry and the archers were not eager to attack each other in front of the city.
However, today, the Liangzhou army did not launch a variety of formations. Instead, thousands of soldiers came forward with a big shield. One by one, the thunderbolt vehicles were pushed out of the camp, about 150 steps away from Yangpingguan city. Under the protection of the big shield, they stopped.
There are several stone throwers around each thunderbolt car, and stones of different sizes in the rear have been moved up. The stone throwers are proofreading, aiming the thunderbolt vehicles at the wall and sitting in preparation.
"The enemy wants to use Thunderbolt vehicles?"
Yang Ren frowned at the sight of hundreds of thunderbolt cars.
"Ha ha, the enemy is really stupid. The thunderbolt car can only be effective within 100 steps, but the enemy is 150 steps away. What is our army afraid of?" One side of the Hanzhong military garrison grew up laughing.
"So it is."
Yang Ren was relieved. The catapult appeared earlier in Chinese history, from the Warring States period. However, the catapult was relatively rough at that time, and it was only within 100 steps at most. Therefore, Yang Ren saw that hundreds of thunderbolt cars were placed more than 150 steps away. Even if he did not pay attention to them, he held his arms and put on a joking expression, as if he was watching a play.
"Adjust the elements and prepare for the test fire!"
The speaker, Hao Zhao, was born in Jinyang, Bingzhou. Later, he joined the army of Jizhou and was valued by Liu Ye. Therefore, he taught him how to use the thunderbolt car. After that, he sent Hao Zhao to Liu Ye to take charge of the attack.
Hao Zhao suddenly waved the flag in his hand. The 50 thunderbolt vehicles ready to go were already ready. The stone throwers behind each thunderbolt car released the rope at the same time, and the stone bullets on the stone arm were thrown out in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fifty stones shot up into the sky in an instant, turned into 50 small black spots in the air, and then expanded rapidly and fell from the sky.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Most of the stones fell on the open space in front of Yangping pass. Only a few of them hit the city wall. However, for the thick and tall wall, it is not painful.
Yang Ren frowned, but then he laughed at the soldiers behind him.
"See? As the general has said, the enemy's thunderbolt vehicles are nothing to be afraid of
As soon as Yang Ren's words fell, the thunderbolt cars under the city began to operate again. This time, not only 50 thunderbolt cars, but also 300 thunderbolt cars were all moved up, forming a fan-shaped shape towards Yangpingguan.
"Load up!"
Three hundred stone bullets were hit on the stone arm. After adjustment, they were again aimed at Yangpingguan.
Yang Ren's expression became stiff. Could the enemy's catapult really shoot 150 steps away?
No, it won't. the enemy is just making a mystery. There's nothing to be afraid of. Yang Ren comforts himself."Aim at the enemy city, fire!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three hundred stone bullets burst into the sky and fell from the sky with great prestige and smashed on the top of the city.
The soldiers of Hanzhong at the head of the city did not react for a moment. Three hundred stone bombs had fallen.
A stone bullet with a weight of more than 30 jin crossed an arc in the air, which immediately loosened the bricks at the head of the city. A Hanzhong army was standing in the same place, and a stone bullet suddenly hit him.
Whoosh!
The stone bullet, like an angry Buffalo, came crashing into the chest of the Hanzhong soldier. The soldiers of Hanzhong were knocked to the ground by the impact of the stone bullet, and their chest was smaller than that of the naked eye. He gave out a faint scream because his chest was blocked and his breath could not come out naturally.
There was also a soldier in Hanzhong. The stone bullet just hit his legs. The blood and flesh around his knees were blurred. His legs were broken at knee length. It was obvious that the skin and bone connected were divided into two parts.
The pain seemed to be cut off in an instant. After a period of time, the scream came out from the mouth of the soldiers in Hanzhong.
"Ah!!! Legs, my legs
The soldiers of Hanzhong who were smashed and broke their legs screamed and howled with blood and tears. Seeing his miserable situation, the soldiers in Hanzhong wanted to pull him down. However, several stone bullets came one after another, one after another hit the top of the city. They turned around and ran away.
Yang Ren couldn't believe it.
Isn't a catapult only able to throw a hundred steps at most? Why is it so far away?
How did the enemy do it?
Can't believe that Yang any time between stay, and at this time a stone bomb whistling.
