Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 312
In the open space in front of the city wall of You County, six torsion thunderbolt guns were set up safely under the protection of more than 7000 troops commanded by Pang Yan.

A puff of gravel rain began to be thrown on the city wall of You County. Although these gravels were not fatal, they also caused confusion on the guards on the city wall. bleeding.

This will inevitably make the guards on the city wall less oppressive to the cave carts digging the city wall below, and they will not even have time to avoid the falling stones from the air.

At this time, the urns filled with new granular black powder were transported forward under the protection of the cave cart.

Soon jars of black powder were placed in the excavated cave, which was then resealed with the excavated rammed earth, leaving only the fuse protected by the bamboo tube.

"Bah..."

After the four fuses hidden in the bamboo tube were ignited, they quickly extended into them with flickering sparks, and then divided into several fuses and burned them into the black powder pots respectively.

At the same time, the bridal carts that were originally in front of the city wall also retreated quickly, which made Liu Pan's soldiers on the city wall a little confused for a while. They obviously didn't do anything, why did these people retreat.

Suddenly, an inexplicable panic appeared in their hearts.

"Boom...boom...crash..."

Several violent explosions sounded, and a section of the city wall in You County arched like a twist, and then a large amount of loess and gravel poured outward as if there was a catharsis.

"The earth dragon is walking away!", "Thunder in the dry weather!"

Liu Pan's soldiers who were originally on the city wall felt the city wall shaking under their feet one by one. With the undulation of the city wall, many people fell to the ground, and there were many Liu Pan soldiers who happened to be on the top of the blasting city wall. With the impact of the black flame explosion under the city wall, the person flew into the air, and fell to the ground bleeding from all seven orifices.

The rammed earth city wall that was blasted really collapsed and a hole was formed, like a notch, forming a slope to the outside, allowing the attacking party to rush directly along the slope to the city wall, and then kill the top of the wall go.

Pang Yan, who had been prepared outside the city wall, took the lead and rushed to the city wall of You County with more than 7000 people behind him, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Pang Yan yelled three kills in his mouth, swung his double-headed mace and rushed to the collapsed city wall, then jumped off his horse, and ran quickly on the slope of the city wall. on top of the city wall.

Chen Jiu, who was behind Pang Yan, was also closely following him with a long hammer in his hand. Although his loyalty was not high, it was obviously time for him to make meritorious deeds. No matter what, it was impossible for him to do so in such a situation. , but also work without effort.

Behind them were four thousand crossbowmen and three thousand knife and shield hands, and they followed quickly. The crossbowmen had already started shooting crossbow arrows towards the city wall, helping Pang Yan to push back Liu Pan's soldiers who rushed up.

Later, in the army formation commanded by Wang Yuyan, the remaining 1 soldiers of the Xiongba Battalion were also under the command of other general-level officers, and most of them formed a phalanx of 2000 people with a four-way force, and rushed towards You County.

This is an attack by the whole army, ready to take You County in one fell swoop.

"Kill! Kill!"

All of a sudden, Zhu Wei's soldiers rushed towards the city wall of You County like waves, and Pang Yan led his troops to the gate tower at the front. Liu Pan's soldiers in You County were almost powerless to resist.

The movement of the black gunpowder blowing down the city wall was really astonishing. Now, let alone ordinary soldiers in Liu Pan's army in Youxian County, even a general like Liu Pan couldn't react, and everyone was a little terrified.

But now it was Pang Yan who led the troops to charge forward again. Thinking of the powerful force shown by Pang Yan just now, no one dared to go up to resist it. There is no way to gather troops to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, on the city wall, many of the tribal soldiers brought by the generals of Liu Pan's tribe were killed and fled in all directions. It was difficult to find their respective companions, and no one could organize an effective counterattack.

Then Liu Pan was also escorted by several guards around him with soldiers, and retreated directly from the city gate to the city wall. Now that the city wall has been captured, Liu Pan had no choice but to return to the city and call other soldiers in the city. The soldiers on standby in the city reorganized their troops to resist Zhu Wei's army that had entered the city.

So the city walls of You County were soon covered with the figures of Zhu Wei's soldiers, and then the drawbridge of the city gate fell, and the city gate was opened, and the gates of the entire You County were opened to Zhu Wei's army.

The follow-up soldiers of Zhu Wei rushed into You County along the opened city gate, like floods pouring into the reservoir, and the city of You County was destroyed.

At this time, the gate of the army village on the hill five miles away from You County was also opened. Huang Zhong led [-] soldiers to rush out and rushed directly to the main formation of Zhu Wei's army.

Huang Zhong knew very well that You County could no longer defend, and the only thing he could do to help Liu Pan was to defeat Zhu Wei's army's main formation, and perhaps disrupt the command of Zhu Wei's army, so that Liu Pan in You County could have a chance to fight back. Or safely withdraw from You County.

It's just that Wang Yuyan had already prepared before, and let Mu Lan take five thousand sword shields and one thousand crossbowmen, plus a dozen spear and tiger chariots like moving walls, to block between Huang Zhong's barracks and You County Therefore, Huang Zhong can only move forward if he breaks through this line of defense. This is not an easy task.

Seeing that Huang Zhong led the troops to charge out from the army stronghold on the hill, Mu Lan had already commanded five thousand saber shield hands to form a gossip-shaped tortoise armor army formation.

In this gossip-shaped army formation as a whole, there is almost no Zhu Wei soldier at all, and the soldiers form a round tortoise shield formation, that is, almost a Zhu Wei soldier forms a large and small shield. formed army.

On the periphery of this tortoise shield formation is a circle of large shield soldiers, holding large shields like a wall to cover the figures of soldiers hidden inside, while inside the army formation are sword shield soldiers holding high one-handed shields to cover their heads.

Looking at it from the outside like this, it looks like giant tortoises are entrenched on the ground. You can only see the shields that cover the outside, but you can't see a soldier hidden inside.

And these tortoise shell and shield formations combined together form a gossip-shaped army formation covering an area of ​​several miles.

Some of the tortoise shield formations rely on the dozens of spear and tiger chariots to form a wall, and these spear and tiger chariots are pushed to move in the army formation, and they can cover the army with the help of the wall formed by the spear and tiger chariots. Many areas of the formation made it impossible for outsiders to see through the changes in the entire formation at a glance.

Between the walls formed by spears, tigers and chariots and the tortoise-shell shield formation formed by a line of soldiers, there were some passages, about two or three people wide, that seemed to be for the enemy troops to walk.

It’s just that from the sky, these passages are like a maze of passages in the entire army formation, which makes people dazzled. It is difficult to find the direction leading directly to the command platform in the core area of ​​the army formation...
