Chapter 318

Seeing that the trapped camp is getting closer and closer, it has reached the range of catapult attack. As soon as Wei Yangang raised his hand, he was about to order an attack, but he was stopped by Liu Pan. Liu Pan shook his head at Wei Yan and said, "no hurry! Wait until the mysterious army reaches the attack range Wei Yan immediately understood Liu Pan's meaning, nodded and sneered.

The trapped camp did not know that they had stepped into the warning line of death and continued to move forward. The mysterious team behind them also followed the trapped camp forward. Kan can walked into the range of the catapult attack. When Liu Pan just wanted to order the attack, he found that the two armies suddenly stopped. Liu Pan was stunned. Even the nearest trapped camp was two or three hundred paces away. Apart from the special tools such as catapult and catapult, other bows and arrows should not be able to attack the pass. Liu Pan stopped involuntarily to see what the purpose of Cao Cao's sending this mysterious army was.

At this time, the mysterious army behind the trapped camp actually sat on the ground directly and took out the things that had been carried on its back from behind. Liu Pan and Wei Yan finally saw what they were. They were crossbows and arrow boxes, but they were bigger than ordinary crossbows.

At the beginning, Liu Pan, who was still confused, suddenly flashed a name in his mind and was stunned. Liu Pan finally knew what the army was. More than ten years ago, there was a general named Qu Yi in Jizhou. Although his martial arts were not as good as those of the famous four court pillars in Hebei Province at that time, they all compared him with Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others. This is just because Qu Yi had a strong army in Jizhou. The name of the army was xiandengying! But it is a pity that Qu Yi and his first camp were killed by Guan Yu, who had already devoted himself to Cao Cao, in the first World War of Bohai city. From then on, he never appeared in this world.

The reason why Qu Yi's Xiandeng camp became a strong division in Jizhou was that he was different from other armies. That is, the long-range attack of this army was particularly powerful. The most powerful was a kind of foot riding crossbow originated from the Qin Dynasty. The attack distance of this kind of crossbow is far more than that of ordinary bows and arrows. It is the main attack power of Qin Dynasty to capture the city. So this is also Liu Pan, although he has not seen the first camp, but only relying on the crossbow to guess their identity.

Liu Pan's guess is not wrong. These are the first camp that shocked Jizhou at that time. Since the unification of Jizhou, Qu Yi and Xiandeng camp were completely eliminated. Cao Cao often lamented that he did not get such a strong soldier. Zhang Ying and Gao Lan, who had already joined Cao Cao's tent, were good friends with Qu Yi in those years. They knew how to train and go to camp first, so they gave them to Cao Cao. Of course, the current first boarding camp is much worse than the original original first boarding camp, but Cao Cao was attracted to the first boarding camp, which was handed down from the Qing Dynasty. The capture of Hangu pass this time, Cao Cao Zhi must get it, so he also sent out this secret weapon.

As soon as he saw the legendary "Xiandeng camp" appearing here, he thought of the powerful long-range attack of Xiandeng camp. Suddenly, a sweat appeared on Liu Pan's forehead, and he hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "attack! Attack! Catapult! Catapult! All against that army

Wei Yan was very surprised that Liu Pan was so impulsive. When he first boarded the camp and made a name for himself, Wei Yan was still very young. Although he had heard of the name of the first boarding camp, he did not know the power of the first boarding camp. But as Liu Pan's subordinates, Wei Yan still carried out Liu Pan's orders very well. He pulled away the coarse cloth on a crossbow cart beside him and cried out: "attack!"

Wei Yan had already ordered that the arrows and stones on the catapult and catapult should be installed. After receiving the orders from Liu Pan and Wei Yan, the soldiers just tore off the coarse cloth and started to launch these garrison equipment to the Cao army outside the pass.

"Shua! Shua! Shua This is the sound of a long arrow leaving the string.

"Da! Da! Da It's the sound of the catapults starting.

At the next moment, a row of dark shadows, groups of huge stones from the Hangu pass to launch out of the pass. It was the super long arrows that reached the target first. Facing these arrows, it was obvious that the trapped camp responsible for defense and the first boarding camp loading crossbow were somewhat surprised. They had no idea that the closed arrows could attack so far. Because of this, Cao Jun paid a heavy price.

One by one arrows with a strong impact flew over, but the target was those who were trapped behind the camp and boarded the camp first. A soldier trapped in the camp bravely rushed to the front of the first boarding camp, raised his iron shield, intending to help the first camp block the arrows. However, when the arrow hit the iron shield of the soldiers of the trap camp, the iron shield seemed to be made of paper, which could not reduce the strength of the arrow at all. The arrow went straight through the iron shield, and then through the chest of the soldier in the trap camp, and continued to attack the soldier who was the first to board behind him. These soldiers who first boarded the camp were sitting on the ground before this, and could not effectively defend or evade. They were immediately shot by these huge arrows. An arrow even passed through three soldiers in a company before it finally stopped in the chest of the fourth soldier.

Just after the first round of the catapult attack, the catapult attack came again. Huge stones fell from the sky and fell into the camp of the Cao army. The only drawback is that the attack distance of the catapult is no better than that of the catapult, and it can only fall among the ranks of those trapped in the camp. However, the damage ability of the catapult is several times higher than that of the catapult. After all, the arrows just shoot straight. Unlike the stones thrown by the catapult, they fall on the ground and fall into pieces, but they hit the soldiers around them. Many soldiers even get their heads pierced by flying stones. However, some of the stones were specially made. The stones were polished into a round shape. After falling, they were not broken. Instead, they rolled directly on the ground along the force. However, many soldiers were injured by such a slip.Naturally, Gao Shun was the general of the United Army who was trapped in the camp. Unlike zhongzang Ba and Song Xian, the eight outstanding generals in Bingzhou, although Gao Shun's martial arts were not outstanding, the trapped camp he could train was the best in the world. Therefore, Gao Shun should have been used by Cao Cao.

Gao Shun didn't expect that Hangu pass had such a powerful weapon that it could attack such a long distance. He immediately ordered the whole army to step back dozens of steps, at least leaving the attack range of the other party's catapult. At the same time, he urged those behind him to mount the camp and attack quickly, so as to suppress the attack on them.

Gao Shun's instructions were very correct. First, he avoided the attack of the catapult. Secondly, the trapped camp retreated backward, but he retreated into the first boarding camp, which more effectively resisted the closed catapult for the first boarding camp. With the help of the trapped camp, the first boarding camp accelerated the speed of the installation of the catapults. In a short time, the crossbow was installed. They put the crossbow in the middle of their legs and put their feet on the crossbow, but they pulled the bowstring with both hands. Then the whole person lay on his back, raised his legs high and closed the Hangu gate facing the front.

"Let go Xia HOUSHANG, Xia Houyuan's nephew, was in charge of the first boarding camp. According to Cao Cao's past habits, naturally, it was in the hands of his own people that he could rest assured. Although xiahoushang looks very weak in appearance, he is quite resourceful and versatile. Seeing the soldiers who boarded the camp first under the cover of the trapped camp, they were all ready to give the order of attack immediately.

As Xia Hou Shang's order was just called out, countless arrows flew out from the crossbow on the feet of the soldiers who had boarded the camp, and in a flash fell on the pass. Even if Liu Pan knew that the first camp was powerful, he didn't expect to have such a long attack distance. He had to give orders to resist in the future. For a time, there was a scream at the gate. This round of rain of arrows has lost at least thousands of defenders, and even Liu Pan and Wei Yan have suffered some arrow injuries.

However, Xiahou Shang, who was outside the pass, obviously didn't want to let it go. Under his command, he first boarded the camp and installed the crossbow again, and soon shot out the second round of arrow rain. But this time, Liu Pan learned to be good and ordered the garrison soldiers to protect the big shield in front of him. Although the attack distance of these catapults is similar to that of catapults, their power is much smaller, and they can't be fired into the big shield.

Different from the catapult, this kind of pedal crossbow uses the most common arrows, so there is no need to worry about the stock of arrows. Cao Cao, however, saw that he first boarded the camp and suppressed the garrison at the pass, and quickly sent a large army to prepare for the attack. Suddenly, countless Cao soldiers carrying the ladder attacked Hangu pass. Of course, there were many Cao soldiers carrying sandbags at the front, but they were trying to fill the gap in front of Hangu pass.

Liu Pan, of course, would not let Cao's army do as he wished. He always used the catapult and catapult to fight back at the barracks according to the gap between the crossbows and arrows, and ordered the archers to shoot at the Cao soldiers who rushed to the pass. Although this gap time is very short, it can also guarantee a round of attack. After all, the power of crossbow and catapult was too powerful in the cold weapon era. Not only the Cao soldiers who came to attack the city were blocked, but even Cao Cao's carefully trained first boarding camp was shot by the catapult, which caused heavy losses.

Although some soldiers in the trapped camp take their lives as the first to board the camp as a cover, the arrows launched by the catapult are too sharp. They often shoot with one arrow and never stop without shooting through three or four people. Looking at his two elite troops were shot a little bit reduced, in the back camp of Cao Cao is simply heartbreaking blood.
