Then, Li Ji made an almost crazy lineup arrangement. The 12-strong army was divided into six teams, each with 2 people. When one team was repelled, it was replaced by another team. They attacked day and night, hacked with knives, stabbed with spears, and opened Hulao Pass.

In Sishuiguan, Pei Yuanqing has not dared to rest since last night.

For them, Hulao Pass is the only hope, and for the Qi army, breaking through Sishui Pass is also their only way out.

The fate of both countries is at stake.

When the news spread to the city wall, Pei Yuanqing went up to the city wall and led a team to defend. Sufficient materials such as wood, rolling stones, bow and arrow kerosene in Guannei were well prepared, and the food was enough for half a year. Pei Yuanqing is also confident that he can hold the Hulao Pass.

Behind the arrow stacks on the city wall, there were archers of the Wei army standing beside the city wall.When the Qi army under the city gate came within range, with an order, countless arrows shot out quickly, and the roaring bows and arrows covered the sky of the Qi army's front line.Every fallen Qi soldier had more than one arrow stuck in his body, and the arrows that came one after another pierced them into a honeycomb shape.

Even though the Wei army did not consider any cost, the casualties of the bow and crossbow to the Qi army were very small.After several rounds of attacks, only a hundred people were shot and killed.

And all this is mainly due to the powerful equipment of the Qi army.

The hard armor is on the body, and the shield is as high as the sky.No one will shrink back, and no one is afraid of these Wei troops. Everyone has only one eye, and that is Hulao Pass.

Soon, the soldiers of the Qi army had already pushed the ladders and arrived under the city gate.

When the attack distance reached eighty steps, the crossbowmen of the Qi army also launched an attack.Facing the enemy's arrows, they don't care whether the arrows will hit themselves or not, but draw their bows and release arrows when they rush to a certain distance. The arrows fly up obliquely and fall into the archers on the city wall in a parabola.

The archers of the Wei army on the city wall also began to fall, but when one fell, someone immediately took his place, took over his post, and continued to attack with arrows, no need to aim, just shoot the arrows out.

When the effect of the arrow was reduced, Pei Yuanqing quickly ordered the catapults in the city to launch.

The kerosene tank burning raging fire flew out and went straight into the camp of the Qi army.

The Qi army's hard armor can buffer the attack of bows and arrows, but it cannot stop the erosion of flames.The kerosene hit the ladder and the soldiers of the Qi army. The pungent kerosene almost permeated the wooden ladder, and then countless burning torches flew down. In an instant, the fire rose, the ladder was turned into ashes, and the smoke billowed From time to time, there was the cry of soldiers dying.

But the army of Qi had too many soldiers, and the first group of soldiers retreated slowly after blocking most of the moat.The soldiers waiting for the second round continued to charge.

After rounds of continuous replacement, the moat in front of Hulao Pass has been completely flattened.

Wei Jun's defense was also transferred to the city gate.

Chapter 809 Storming Hulao Pass

Before dusk, the sound of Mingjin sounded, and the day's fighting came to an end.Corpses littered the fields above and below the Chengguan, blood flowed like rivers, vultures preyed on the sky, and the smoke filled the air, making it extraordinarily desolate.

Since the moat outside Hulao Pass was filled, the pressure on the defense of the Wei army has increased greatly. The soldiers of the Qi army directly climbed up with the ladders. If the height of the pass is not shallow and the depth is shallow, the Wei army may have broken through the pass and lost in World War I today.

Right now, even though the Qi army fled, the Wei army stationed at Hulao Pass did not dare to rest at all.

The city defenses were damaged in many places. They not only had to strengthen the city defenses to carry the corpses, but also found ways to dig trenches outside the city gates to increase the difficulty of the Qi army's attack.

One can imagine the difficulty of digging in the dark.

Fortunately, this night, the Qi army did not come to sneak attack. Near dawn, the Wei army finally dug another trench in front of Hulao Pass.

For the soldiers, this trench jumped across without any hindrance.But for large siege equipment, this is extremely tricky.

The soldiers of the Wei Army who had been busy all night stood on the city wall with dark circles under their eyes, waiting for the arrival of the Qi Army.

But until the sun was three poles, there was still no trace of the Qi army.

"Report! General Qi, our sentry cavalry found out that all the Qi troops stayed in the camp and did not take any action."

Pei Yuanqing frowned deeply, and the pair of hammers lightly hit the ground, looking impatient.

"General, what the hell is this Qi army doing?" The deputy general was also a little puzzled.

The advantages and disadvantages of Wei and Qi are so obvious that if the Qi army wants to destroy them, they only need to attack them by force.In yesterday's battle, the Wei army in the city had already suffered a lot. With such a powerful offensive, they could only hold on for a day at most, and Hulao Pass would definitely miss.

But who would have thought that when the Qi army had an absolute advantage, they would stop attacking and stick to the camp.

The weirdness made these Wei Jun more and more unconfident.

"The cunning of the Qi army must be guarded against. The soldiers of the various ministries are ordered to patrol around the clock from today, and to increase the lighting at night, so that the Qi army must not let the Qi army take the opportunity to attack at night."

The lieutenant seemed to have something to hide when he heard the words.

The Wei army in the city is full of more than 3 people. Even if they are divided into several squads and rotate around the clock, the soldiers will be exhausted after a long time.

Exhausted will be defeated!

"General, if the Qi army doesn't attack for a month, is it possible that we will be like this for a month?"

"What?" Pei Yuanqing was a little puzzled.

"General, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to hold on!"

Pei Yuanqing heard the words on his lips but couldn't utter them. As the lieutenant general said, it is indeed a great torture for soldiers to stick to it for a long time.

Attack, can't win!Keep it, it's hard to stick to it!

Isn't this the death of Wei Guo!

The sun had just set, and Wei Jun, who had stood firm for a day, was just about to take a rest and calm down.Suddenly, a large group appeared under the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, a roaring drum beat sounded.With the sound of beating drums, Yue Fei personally led [-] elite soldiers to appear under the city gate.

Although there were not many enemy troops under the city, the general guarding the city did not dare to delay, and quickly informed Pei Yuanqing of the news.

Pei Yuanqing quickly ordered the soldiers to enter the combat state and be careful.Following Pei Yuanqing's order, the soldiers on the city either bent their bows or put their hands on the logs and stones, waiting for the Qi army to enter the effective attack range.

There are artifacts such as trebuchets in the city, but at night, the enemy troops are scattered and there are no torches to illuminate each other, so it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the enemy troops.

Therefore, you can only use bows and arrows to kill the enemy.

Condescending, although most of the crossbowmen of the Wei army are ordinary crossbows, the range is only fifty steps.But relying on the advantage of Hulaoguan, they can attack up to seventy steps.

Pei Yuanqing kept calculating the distance between himself and the Qi army.

Seeing that the enemy is about to enter the range of fire.Pei Yuanqing raised his hand, and was about to call out the word "attack", when the Qi army under the city suddenly receded like a tide, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

"What's the situation?" Pei Yuanqing was quickly stunned.

The Qi army mobilized the crowd to come under the city gate, and retreated if they did not attack. What is this for?

Could it be that he was full of dinner and came here for a walk under the Chengguan?

This doubt lasted until the second wave of the Qi army's attack, and this time it was Qin Qiong who led the troops.

It seems that the Qi army did not perform well last time. This time, Qin Qiong attacked with all his strength after the beating of the three-way drum, and the ladder had just reached the top of the city.

Wei Jun's crossbowmen were active just now, and with a huff, Qi Jun disappeared without a trace again.

The two attacks were separated by less than half an hour.By the time Huang Zhong led the army to attack for the third time, it was already the fourth watch.
