Chapter 190

Outside the city of Guishan, the trebuchets of the Han army kept venting. Every time a stone bomb hit the city wall, the soldiers of Dawan Kingdom would tremble.

Dawan Kingdom has never encountered such a type of siege battle!
Inside the palace, the old monarch sat on the throne with a sad face. It was the first time that the Dawan monarch had encountered the Han army's attack method.

"Where is Guishuang's army now?" The old monarch's tone seemed helpless.

However, apart from the panting of the ministers, there was no other voice to answer him.

The old monarch looked around helplessly, the ministers were all confused, and a few of them were trembling all over, completely lacking in their previous bearing.

Just at this time, the gate of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and the eldest prince stumbled in.

"Father, there are cracks in part of the city wall. My son please order to lead the cavalry out of the city to destroy the Han army's siege equipment."

"This" critical moment, the old monarch hesitated.

It would be a good way to go out of the city and destroy the siege equipment, but facing the siege of 17 troops, the old monarch knew in his heart that there would probably be no return.

But his son has already spoken, if he refuses, the morale and morale of the army will definitely be affected.

It is common sense to fight the dead, but the prince is close to being the successor. In the face of such a big risk, the old monarch's selfishness has the upper hand.

"Father, you can stop hesitating. The city wall will collapse within an hour. By then, it will be too late for regret!"

"Since that's the case, my son will lead half of the imperial guards and [-] soldiers out of the city!"

After hesitating again and again, the old monarch finally issued the king's order.

The imperial guards were the last trump card in the hands of the old monarch, and half of them were dispatched at once, which showed the worry in the old monarch's heart.

"Father, don't worry, with the help of the imperial guards, it will surely succeed."

Looking at the back of his beloved son leaving, the old monarch began to feel uneasy.

I originally thought that there would be Guishuang's army as the backing, but I didn't expect the Han army to move so fast.

At this moment, the old monarch regretted it, but at this point, there was no room for maneuver.

In the vast night, the east gate of Guishan City slowly opened, and groups of cavalry roared out under the leadership of the prince of Dawan Kingdom.

They have only one goal, and that is to destroy the trebuchets of the Han army at all costs.

However, it is impossible for the Han army not to respond to such a big movement. As early as the moment the city gate was opened, Meng Chen ordered to push the formation-breaking crossbow to the front of the trebuchet.

At the same time, groups of Xiliang cavalry began to gather under the cover of night.

"Order Gao Xianzhi, since you have left the city, let's all stay here!" With the faint light of the fire, the corners of Meng Chen's mouth slightly raised.

In Meng Chen's eyes, such a move is no different from sending him to death. If it is daytime, maybe the cavalry of Dawan Kingdom still have a chance.

When they were young, the assembled Dawan cavalry began to charge. Although the soldiers defended undead, they didn't know that a formation-breaking crossbow had exposed its sharp fangs.

The ground began to vibrate rhythmically, and the Dawan cavalrymen uttered all kinds of strange cries in an attempt to intimidate the Han army in this way.

"Light it up!" Gao Xianzhi ordered coldly.

In the blink of an eye, one after another torches were ignited, and under the light of the flames, neatly arranged formation-breaking crossbows appeared in the eyes of Dawan soldiers.

"Break the crossbow, shoot!" Gao Xianzhi issued the general order without hesitation when the cavalry of Dawan Kingdom entered the range.

Just now Meng Chen's general order has come, so Gao Xianzhi will naturally obey the order!

"Bang bang bang!" There was a crisp sound, and huge crossbow bolts flew out whistling.

The crossbow bolts in the night pierced the air and roared. After hitting the target accurately, the charging Dawan cavalry immediately turned their backs.

The screams and the mournful cry of war horses resounded through the night sky, and the originally neat charging queue was suddenly dented in a large area!

Each formation-breaking crossbow can fire five bolts at a time, and twenty ballistas are lined up in sequence. This kind of terrifying lethality is enough to make any charging soldier frightened.

After the first launch, the soldiers manipulating the formation-breaking crossbow immediately got busy, completing the second reloading at the fastest speed and in the shortest time.

"The No. [-] ballista is ready!"

"The No. [-] ballista is ready!"

Shouts sounded, and the soldiers manipulating the formation-breaking crossbow displayed [-]% of their abilities and completed the second loading!

Hearing this, Gao Xianzhi showed a hint of surprise, originally thought that the reloading of this cumbersome formation-breaking crossbow was slow, but he did not expect that the group of soldiers in front of him were so elite.

"Array breaking crossbow, shoot!"

"Bang bang bang!" There was another crisp sound, and the huge crossbow pierced the air in the night again.

The already chaotic charge formation was completely chaotic under the second crossbow attack.

The bloody scene in front of them made the cavalrymen of Dawan Kingdom tear their hearts apart.

Not only that, even the soldiers of the Han army who had seen the power of the formation-breaking crossbow were still unprepared.

However, Gao Xianzhi, who had experienced the storm, soon sobered up from the shock.

Slowly pulling out the precious saber from his waist, Gao Xianzhi shouted: "The whole army strikes!"

In an instant, countless torches were lit in the dark night, and then, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and the Xiliang cavalry who had been prepared for a long time heard the order and moved.

Prince Dawan, who was lucky enough to survive under the attack of the formation-breaking crossbow just now, got up unsteadily and looked around.

The tragic situation in front of him immediately made his liver and gallbladder split, and he lost all fighting spirit.

The scene imagined in the original mind is very different from the reality.

Before fighting the cavalry of the Han army, the casualties were so heavy.

Especially the imperial guards who charged forward were almost completely destroyed by the blow of the Han army's formation-breaking crossbow.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

The general order was issued very quickly, but the cavalry of the Dawan Kingdom behind them were already in a mess.

In addition, the cavalry of the Han army came from both wings, and it was impossible to retreat completely!
"kill!"

With the final acceleration, the cavalry of the Han army shouted loudly and rushed into the cavalry of Dawan Kingdom, which was already in chaos.

At this moment, the sound of the clash of weapons, the shouts of soldiers, and the mournful cry of war horses all intertwined.

This fight did not last long, and the Dawan cavalry who were not well-equipped and demoralized were quickly slaughtered.

With the end of the fighting, the soldiers of the Han army began to clean up the battlefield.

In the palace, the old monarch waited anxiously. When a guard ran in in panic, everyone had an answer in their hearts.

"It's over, it's over..." the old monarch said weakly.

As soon as this remark came out, the entire palace was in chaos, and the faces of the ministers who had advocated World War I were all pale.

At dawn, another bad news came, the wall in the east of the city collapsed...
