Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 391 The Battle of Breakthrough (2)

At this time, under the city wall of Fenglin Pass, the car crashing into the city gate had smashed the thick wooden city gate, but Liu Biao's guards inside Fenglin Pass had also sealed the city gate with mud.

In this way, even if the gate of the city was smashed by the collision pole on the side of the Shenjian Battalion, and the inside of the city gate was blocked by mud and debris, the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion naturally couldn't rush in directly.

Obviously, Liu Biao's defenders who guarded Fenglin Pass had no choice but to use this method to defend the city in the face of the siege method of the Shenjian Battalion.

But even if the Shenjian Battalion couldn't just smash through the city gate with a cave cart and rush in, those soldiers who were hiding in the cave cart and digging the rammed earth city wall around them had already dug big holes in the city wall. , if you dig like this for a day, it is also very easy to dig down these rammed earth walls.

It can be said that there is no doubt that Fenglin Pass was broken, that is, it took a long time.

Listening to the progress of the siege coming from ahead, Tai Shici couldn't help stroking his newly raised short beard on the side of the main tent in the army, and smiled slightly. Now such a tactic to attack Fenglin Pass will not consume energy. With too many troops in the Arrow Battalion, it is justifiable to delay time and attract Liu Biao's attention, which is really a multiplicity of things.

However, Bao Long, who was checking the movement in Fenglin Pass on the Guanyin Pavilion, also sent a message. It seems that Liu Biao's defenders are using various means to build a second and third line of defense in Fenglin Pass. Obviously, they are preparing to destroy the outer wall. , Continue to resist the attack of the Shenjian Battalion in Fenglin Pass.

At the same time, in order to prevent the troops from the Shenjian Battalion from overturning the Guanyin Pavilion and reaching the back of Fenglin Pass, Liu Biao soldiers also built a wooden defense line under the north slope of Guanyin Pavilion. It seems that Liu Biao's troops guarding Fenglin Pass are really Some swear to die.

This kind of reaction surprised Tai Shici a bit. It seems that even if the city wall of Fenglin Pass is dug down, it still needs fighting to break through this pass.

However, from this kind of performance, we can also analyze Liu Biao's thoughts. He is planning to use the peripheral defense line like Fenglin Pass to delay as much as possible the time for Zhu Wei's army to attack Xiangyang City, so that he can deploy more in Xiangyang City. means of defense.

Of course, this is not what Tai Shici needs to care about. For Tai Shici, a steady attack is enough to attract Liu Biao's attention to Zhu Wei's main force.

In this way, as the battle progressed, Tai Shici only needed to send troops to the southern slope of Xianshou Mountain to guard against Liu Biao's soldiers coming down the mountain to attack, and he could move a Maza to sit in the command area and arrange the battles in an orderly manner.

Time passed little by little like this, and this seemingly uninspiring battle progressed from morning to afternoon.

Soon soldiers in front reported that they were about to dig through the city wall of Fenglin Pass.

Only then did Tai Shici get up and give the order to have people go up with swords, shields and crossbow archers, ready to capture Fenglin Pass. At the same time, Tai Shici also ordered Bao Long on the Guanyin Pavilion to lead his troops to pretend to attack Liu Biao at the foot of the northern slope of the Guanyin Pavilion. The barracks made Liu Biao's soldiers have to divide their troops to guard on both sides, so as to relieve the offensive pressure of their own soldiers in Fenglin Pass.

In this way, after several military orders were communicated, all places were also ready for battle.

Because Chen Ying, another general of Tai Shici's subordinates, stayed in Yicheng, so at this moment Tai Shici only let a brave military prince lead, and the other military princes with him commanded two thousand sword shieldmen and one thousand crossbowmen. Then he rushed to the back of the cave-house carts in front of the city, waiting to enter Fenglin Pass at any time.

And on the Fenglinguan wall, there were no more Liu Biao guards. They also discovered the movement on the inner wall of the city wall, and knew that the Shenjian Battalion had dug through the city wall, so it was meaningless to continue guarding here.

Therefore, Liu Biao's defenders on the outer wall of Fenglin Pass have basically retreated to the newly built second line of defense in Fenglin Pass at this moment, and are preparing to continue an offensive and defensive battle with Tai Shici's soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion in Fenglin Pass.

And because of the remaining barriers on the outer wall of Fenglin Pass, the siege equipment such as siege vehicles and cave carts at the Taishi Ci Shenjian Camp could not be transported to Fenglin Pass in the first place, which also gave Liu Biao's defenders must have a defensive advantage.

However, this is also the way Liu Biao's defenders have no choice.

If there is a way, who is willing to throw away the condescending city wall and go to the pass to rebuild a temporary defense line? The temporary defense line is definitely not as defensive as the city wall.

It's a pity that the battlefield doesn't care about this kind of compromise and helplessness.

Therefore, under the military order that Liu Biao's defenders could not easily retreat to Xiangyang City, they could only continue to find ways to stop Zhu Wei's army from advancing towards Xiangyang City.

Soon, after the soldiers who dug the city in front dug through the outer wall of Fenglin Pass, the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion rushed into the city wall of Fenglin Pass through the holes dug out, and then they were about 50 steps away from the city wall. Outside, they encountered a temporary line of defense that was as high as two or three people.

This temporary line of defense was built by using Liu Biao's defenders in Fenglin pass to tear down the houses in the pass, plus various sundries such as carriages piled up together, and then paved with soil.

Although it looks relatively crude, it can be regarded as allowing Liu Biao's defenders to gain some condescending advantages.

Now seeing the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion entering Fenglin Pass, many Liu Biao soldiers who had already prepared themselves here began to shoot feather arrows one by one at the knife and shield hand who rushed in from the Divine Arrow Battalion.

It's just that the sword and shield fighters at the Shenjian Battalion knew the situation in the pass, so these soldiers who dug holes in the city wall and rushed in cooperated with each other in the first time to form a square shield formation to protect the surrounding area. The sword shield and crossbowmen inside were not hit by the feather arrows, and then moved towards the temporary defense line.

This kind of square shield is generally composed of a group of more than 50 sword and shield players as the basic unit, and [-] crossbowmen are hidden inside. It looks like an armored vehicle and moves slowly.

The soldiers at the front put their large shields against the ground, facing the arrows of Liu Biao's defenders without any gaps exposed, while the sword and shield hands behind and on both sides used the double-curved hand shields in their hands to protect their heads and bodies together.

This is also a very test of the cooperation of the army soldiers, and it is a battle tactic that requires hard training to achieve.

But the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side can basically achieve this kind of cooperation, because Zhu Wei's army can use the Three Kingdoms game system to assist in training. After the training speed reaches [-], this kind of cooperation almost penetrates into their soul instincts move.

"Shoot the arrows, let the arrows go!", "Load the spears, use the halberds, don't let them charge up!"

"Kill!", "Rush!"

For a while, there was a rumble of killing in this Fenglin Pass, but Liu Biao's defenders obviously couldn't resist the attack of the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion. This simple line of defense will be broken through soon...
