Since the first wave of attack failed, Wang Jian gave orders not to defend.
Seeing this, Cao Chao had no choice but to mobilize his army to leave the pass and set up camp in front of the pass.
After waiting for a few more days, Cao Chao finally ordered the return cannon and boulders to be transported from the pass to the front line. After they were resettled in the camp, Cao Chao immediately ordered the attack.
For some reason, he has always felt uneasy these days.
For this reason, they also specifically asked for information from various places, but found nothing unusual.
"put!"
"put!"
"put!"
With the sound of shouts, countless boulders rose into the air and smashed towards the camp of the Qin people.
However, at this moment, countless huge curtains suddenly rose in the Qin army camp.
Then a miraculous scene appeared.
I saw that the boulder fell into these curtains, and instead of being able to penetrate it, it was successfully intercepted by it.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army were dumbfounded, obviously not expecting such a turning point.
Just as everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhang Han, who was in the Chinese army, understood after a moment of pondering.
"These curtains should be stitched together with cowhide!"
"The Qin people took the initiative to retreat before, and they must have bought time to collect the cowhide."
As soon as this remark came out, the generals suddenly realized.
The cowhide is tough, no wonder it can block boulders.
However, looking at the curtains erected in the Qin army camp, I felt helpless again.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jun's coach was so powerful that he could come up with a solution in just a few days.
It seems that this battle is not easy to fight!
Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at the king behind him.
However, contrary to their expectations, Cao Chao didn't show the slightest worry on his face.
I saw him slowly ordering,
"Come on, get on the crossbow!"
"promise!"
With a promise, dozens of giant ballistas were pushed out from the rear camp one by one.
All the generals had obviously never seen this thing before, and guessed that it must be a secret weapon hidden by the king, so they all cast curious eyes.
I saw that these ballistas were extremely heavy, and even with four wheels, it would take more than a dozen people to push them.
Its appearance looks even more domineering, consisting of three bows, two bows in the front and one bow in the back.
But when the generals found out that the sergeant in charge of the operation had put several spears directly into it, they were stunned.
They never expected that this giant crossbow would use spears instead of bows and arrows.
"My lord, this is..."
"This is called the Eight Bull Crossbow."
Cao Chao said lightly,
"This thing was developed secretly by the Supervision Bureau, and it takes more than a dozen soldiers to work together to pull the bowstring when it is launched.
"However, the penetrating power is extremely strong. Not only can it shoot five long spears at a time, but it can also shoot at a range of five hundred steps!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals gasped in unison.
The range can be as far as [-] steps, isn't this farther than the return cannon!
Just when everyone was doubtful, Cao Chao's voice suddenly came from next to their ears.
"put!"
As the voice fell, countless black shadows suddenly rose into the sky, and immediately flew towards the Qin army's camp like locusts.
The speed was so fast that it was as fleeting as lightning, and it landed in the camp of the Qin people in a flash.
"Puff puff!"
Immediately, countless curtains were shot through, breaking one big hole after another.
However, before the Qin people could react, Cao Chao's voice sounded again.
"put!"
The return cannon that had been prepared for a long time fired again, and countless huge boulders flew into the air.
This time the Qin people were not so lucky.
Boulders fell on their positions, smashing countless tents.
The soldiers hiding in the tent were smashed to pieces before they could even make a scream.
After a slight tilt, thick smoke began to rise from the camp of the Qin people, and the soldiers had to hide in all directions.
Seeing this, Cao Chao knew that the fighter plane had appeared, so he quickly gestured.
When the horn sounded, tens of thousands of Han soldiers rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the Qin people like a tide.
At this moment, the Qin people had long lost their will to fight, and retreated towards the central army one after another.
The Han army was unstoppable, and soon captured Qianzhai.
But when they wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the Chinese army, they encountered tenacious resistance from the enemy.
A large number of elite iron eagle warriors rushed out from the central army and withstood wave after wave of Han army's offensive.
But at this moment, the two sides have already fought together, and they can no longer fire the eight-ox crossbow and the returning cannon.
The two sides fought fiercely for two full hours, each with casualties.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Cao Chao had to call Jin to withdraw his troops.
After returning to the commander's account, after a short rest, Zhang Han came to report.
The results were finally counted.
In this battle, the Qin people not only lost the front battalion, but also killed and injured more than [-] people.
On the other hand, more than [-] people were killed and injured, and some food, grass, military equipment and other things were seized.
After reporting the results of the battle, Zhang Han said excitedly,
"My lord, the morale of the people of Qin is now low, and today they are barely resisting with the help of the iron eagle warriors of the Chinese army.
"The last general thinks that tomorrow he can continue to mobilize the eight ox crossbows and return guns to attack the enemy's central army.
"As long as the Chinese army loses, the enemy army will collapse by itself!"
Cao Chao pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, agreeing to the other party's suggestion.
However, for some reason, the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
Hope nothing goes wrong.
Chapter 818
Outside the new city, the Chinese army camp.
Wang Yan was carefully reading the letter in his hand.
Leaning slightly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent.
"Report to the General, and General Meng to see you."
"Come in"
As soon as the words fell, a general raised the curtain and strode in.
The person who came was Lieutenant General Meng Tian.
"General, the army is ready, may I ask when it will be deployed?"
"Not urgent."
Facing Meng Tian's question, Wang Yan didn't raise his head, but just said casually.
Seeing this, Meng Tian gritted his teeth and continued,
"Master General, two days ago, Lu Guan sent a letter urging our army to go to support, and this matter is urgent."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan stood up slowly, staring at Meng Tian coldly with a pair of tiger eyes.
"Are you blaming Ben for deliberately delaying the military plane?"
"My subordinates dare not!"
However, contrary to Wang Lu's expectation, Meng Tian was not taken by his aura, instead he said neither humble nor overbearing,
"However, this battle is related to the survival of our Great Qin, and according to the information from Luguan, Wang Jian's troops are in a difficult battle and urgently need support.
"That's why the general doesn't understand why the general didn't send troops for so long?"
Walking slowly to Meng Tian's side, Wang Lu said lightly,
"It looks like you have a lot of questions on your mind.
"Actually, there is a reason why I have not sent troops for a long time."
"What is the reason?"
Meng Tian asked puzzledly.
"Hey!"
Wang Yan sighed softly, and walked to the side of the table, where a large box was placed.
