Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 403
After the smoke dissipated, the closed wall was already a mess, with a large number of stones scattered around in a mess, and even the newly repaired closed wall was smashed open with cracks.

Liu Yizhen pushed aside Fan Daoji's shield on top of his head with his hands, and looked towards Hu Xia's position below, his face couldn't help showing joy.

"it is good!"

Compared with the embarrassment on Song Jun's side, Hu Xia's side is completely "horrible".

Because of the cover of the wall and the preparations of the soldiers of the Song Army, Hu Xia's catapult just now was only thunderous and rainy, and there was no major damage except for a few unlucky people who were accidentally hit by the stones falling back.

Hu Xia is different.

They had little defense against the bed crossbows on the city wall, and there were even a few good Hu Xia soldiers standing on the shaft of the catapult to watch from afar, wanting to see the tragic scene of the Song army being hit.

But what they saw were dozens of guns and arrows with terrifying power!

The guns and arrows released from the wall are not denser than ordinary crossbows, but the terrifying size does not need to be won by quantity.

A Hu Xia soldier standing on the shaft of the chariot was directly pierced by a gun and then plunged deeply into the ground.

The rapid speed made these soldiers howl on the ground in pain after being pierced through the abdomen.

"pain……"

When the words reached his mouth, it was difficult to utter them completely, because the blood rushing up from the esophagus after the rupture of the organs had already filled his mouth, and every time he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood and flesh would overflow from it, blocking his mouth. the last of their voices.

In addition to the soldiers who were pierced by guns and arrows, the most tragic thing was the catapult.

Wooden catapults can hardly hinder the violent power of guns and arrows. After being shot, many catapults exploded on the spot, and the sawdust flying in all directions hit more Hu Xia soldiers. For a while, Hu Xia's catapults The car position has become a purgatory on earth.

"emission!"

Horribly, such an attack was not the only one.

Liu Yizhen took advantage of the situation and ordered the soldiers to reload their guns and arrows, starting the second baptism of Hu Xia's position.

It wasn't until the third firing was completed that the crossbow string of the bed crossbow was overwhelmed, and broke after another groan, but this groan was already too insignificant.

Because the Hu Xia position below has been completely reduced to ruins.

Even if there are occasionally a few catapults that can still function, none of the Hu Xia soldiers dare to control them at this moment, but they retreat back crying.

"Open and close the door!"

After Liu Yizhen ordered the soldiers to open and close the door in an orderly manner, he gave Xue Andu a look.

"Now...you can rush!"

Xue An, who received the order, immediately rushed out of Yangping Pass with hundreds of Habayashi cavalry, and rushed towards the fleeing Hu Xia's position.

Hu Xia's soldiers, who had been terrified by the bed crossbow, saw that the Song Army cavalry dared to come out of the pass, and immediately dropped their weapons and turned around in fright and ran away.

He Lianbobo, who had been watching the battle in the Chinese army, sensed something was wrong when the Song army fired the bed crossbow.

The huge loss caused by the three salvos made Helian Bo's eyelids twitch.

"Liu Yizhen... this guy."

Even if there is no definite information, Helian Bobo is sure that this is what Liu Yizhen created.

Seeing that Xue An was leading troops to kill him at this moment, He Lianbo wanted the army to meet him, but soon he hesitated.

Because out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gun and arrow dozens of steps ahead.

And there, there are five hundred steps away from the Guan Wall!
Five hundred steps...

This calculation result made Helian Bobo feel his scalp go numb.

Now the position of his army is only [-] paces away from the wall.

Who can guarantee that the maximum range of the gun and arrow is five hundred paces?

If it was a little further away, how wronged would it be if he led his troops to kill him but was killed by a gun and arrow?
Since the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, not one or two famous generals were shot to death by cold arrows on the battlefield. He Lianbobo didn't want to gamble his life on the attack distance of the Song army's bed crossbow.

Seeing that Xue An was getting closer and closer to him, Helian Bobo immediately ordered: "The front army forms an array! The rear army of the central army retreats five hundred steps!"

Hu Xia's army, which was still closely connected just now, was immediately separated, allowing the former army to bear the impact of Xue Andu alone.

Xue An has many shortcomings, but he is really unambiguous when fighting.

A horse spear made the tigers look like a tiger, and almost none of the Hu Xia soldiers who rushed into the enemy formation was his enemy, and they were pierced through the army formation in less than half a moment.

"withdraw!"

The terrain in front of Yangping Pass was already cramped, and the army couldn't use it at all.

Now that the former army was cut open by the Song army, if Helian Bobo delayed for a while, he might be stuck in the face by the Song army.

Just when Helianbo was about to retreat, there were several loud noises in Yangping Pass.

Zhu Xiuzhi, Liu Yuanjing, An Jie, and Zong Que rushed to the front, and each of them led their elites to follow Xue Andu's troops to attack Hu Xia's army who was left behind.

"Shan Yu!"

He Lianding suddenly turned his horse's head, a little unwilling to lead his troops back.

"withdraw!"

Helian's vigorous tone remained firm.

"The morale of our army has been broken by the spear and crossbow. This narrow terrain is more suitable for the infantry of the Song Army to fight. There is no need to continue to entangle!"

Holding the big knife in his hand, Helian Ding glanced back unwillingly.

In his opinion, this is not Yangping Guanfei, but his own crown prince!
"withdraw!"

Helian Bo's eyes were already somewhat dangerous, obviously no one was allowed to dare to challenge his majesty.

Even if this person is his son!

Hu Xia's main force began to retreat, but the Song army became more and more excited when they saw this, and chased after them vigorously, and regained the previously broken walls.

Xue Andu was the wildest one, chasing all the way to the bank of the Xianhe River by himself, watching Hu Xia's heavy troops deployed in the upper reaches of the Xianhe River and the Han River, and then left arrogantly.

Before leaving, Xue An shouted vigorously: "This is the Han world, how dare you little thieves come here on horseback?"

"It's interesting, hurry up and kowtow to your grandpa Xue to admit your mistake! Otherwise, be careful that your heads will be lost!"

"..."

Seeing that Xue An was talking too much, Liu Yuanjing, who arrived later, was afraid that he would anger Helian Bobo and force Helian Bobo to fight the Song Army, thereby destroying Liu Song's overall plan, so he hurriedly pulled his horse's head to kill him. Take them away, go back and continue to clean up the soldiers left behind by Hu Xia.

After calculating the results in the afternoon, this battle not only captured more than 1000 soldiers of Hu Xia, but also advanced three walls along the way!

In this way, it was almost a battle that turned Helian Bobo's half-month effort into clouds!

Compared with Song Jun, Liu Yizhen achieved such a victory when he came, and the morale that had just recovered skyrocketed again!
