Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 730

Outside Yangping Pass, there was a mighty camp for more than ten miles, with flags fluttering in the camp. I don't know how many troops there were. An unspeakable aura slowly rose from the camp, demonstrating the power of the Liangzhou army.

Opposite the Liangzhou Army’s more than ten miles company camp, it was Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass is a barrier to the east of Hanzhong County. Its geographical location is very dangerous. It is built on the hillside, so it is extremely strong. For Hanzhong, Yangping Pass is like Hulao Pass for Luoyang, where one man should be the pass and Wanfu cannot open.

Above the head of Yangping Pass, a big flag with the word Yang was inserted, fluttering in the wind.

Under the shadow of the banner, standing a general of the Hanzhong army in full drape, holding a long knife in his hand, with a complacent expression.

"Hmph, what Liangzhou army has won in all battles, Liu Yuqing is invincible in the world, and it was just a blow to my head in front of Yangping Pass."

I saw the traces of the city wall at Yangpingguan were mottled, with a thick blood color, penetrated into the masonry. There were also **** traces under the city wall, but there was no corpse. Except for the Liangzhou soldiers who died in the city, the rest were dragged back by their comrades.

It is not difficult to imagine that this place must have experienced a rather tragic battle not long ago, and the Liangzhou army shed a lot of blood under Yangping Pass.

咚咚咚! Suddenly, the war drums in the Liangzhou military camp suddenly sounded. The Liangzhou military camp, which was still quite silent, suddenly awakened like a sleeping behemoth, making a noisy sound.

"General Yang, the Liangzhou army is about to attack the city again."

"What are you afraid of?"

Yang Ren encouraged the soldiers of Hanzhong behind him: "Brothers, I am as solid as a rock at Yangping Pass. Did you see the Liangzhou army siege yesterday? I can only retreat!"

"Our army will win!"

The morale of the soldiers in Hanzhong was high, and they were a little worried at first, but Yangping Pass was indeed strong, and the Liangzhou Army's round of offensive was defeated, so they basically did not have the fear of war.

However, today’s Liangzhou Army is not in a hurry to attack the city. According to the previous rules, multiple arms should cooperate with each other. Archers shoot arrows below the city to suppress the defenders at the front of the city. Lou Lu and other siege weapons stepped forward and attacked the city.

But today, the Liangzhou army did not open up various positions. Instead, thousands of pawns came forward with a large shield high up to a person, and thunderbolt cars were pushed out of the camp. Being pushed to a distance of about one hundred and fifty steps away from Yangpingguan City, under the cover of a large shield, he stopped.

Several slingers were clustered around each thunderbolt. Stones of different sizes in the rear were moved up, while the slingers were proofreading, aiming the thunderbolt at the city wall, and sitting and preparing for work.

"The enemy will use a Thunderbolt?"

Yang Ren couldn't help frowning when he saw hundreds of Thunderbolt cars.

"Haha, the enemy is really stupid. The Thunderbolt can only be effective within a hundred steps, but the enemy is one hundred and fifty steps away. What is our army afraid of?" The Hanzhong army chief laughed.

"Yes."

Yang Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The catapult appeared earlier in Chinese history, since the Warring States period, but the catapult at that time was still relatively rough, at most within a hundred steps. Therefore, when Yang Ren saw hundreds of thunderbolt cars placed more than one hundred and fifty steps away, even if he didn't care about it, he embraced his arms and put on a playful expression as if he were watching a play.

"Adjust Zhu Yuan, ready to test fire!"

The speaker was named Hao Zhao, a native of Jinyang from Binzhou. He later joined the Jizhou army and was valued by Liu Ye. After teaching him how to use the Thunderbolt, Hao Zhao was sent to Liu Ye to take charge of the Thunderbolt offensive.

Hao Zhao suddenly waved the flag in his hand. The fifty thunderbolt cars that were ready to go were already ready. The slingers behind each thunderbolt loosened the rope at the same time, and the stone bullets on the stone arms were thrown out instantly. .

Whoosh whoosh!

Fifty stone bullets shot up into the sky instantly, turning into fifty small black dots in the air, and then they expanded rapidly and fell from the sky.

咚咚咚!

Most of the stone bullets fell on the open space in front of Yangping Pass, only a few stone bullets hit the city wall, but for the thick and tall city wall, it is not painful or itchy.

Yang Ren frowned, but then he laughed at the soldiers behind him.

"Have you seen? The general said that the enemy's Thunderbolt is just a fake tiger, there is nothing to fear."

Yang Ren’s words have just fallen, but the Thunderbolt cars under the city are operating again. This time, not only 50 Thunderbolt cars, but all three hundred Thunderbolt cars have been moved into motion, forming one against Yangping Pass. sector.

"Reload!"

Three hundred stone bullets were hit on the stone arm. After adjustment, they aimed at Yangpingguan again.

Yang Ren's expression stiffened. Could it be that the enemy's catapult could really shoot one hundred and fifty steps away?

No, no, the enemy is just playing mystery, there is nothing to be afraid of, Yang Ren comforted himself.

"Aim at the enemy's city head and launch!"

Whoosh whoosh!

A total of three hundred stone bullets soared into the sky, descending from the sky with huge power, and slammed on the top of the city.

The soldiers of Hanzhong on the head of the city did not react for a while, and three hundred stone bullets had already landed.

A stone bullet weighing more than 30 kilograms traversed an arc from the air, and immediately smashed the bricks of the city to loosen it. A Hanzhong army stood there blankly, and a stone bullet slammed at him unpreparedly.

Whoosh!

The stone bullet was like an angry bison, rushing forward and hit the Hanzhong soldier's chest. The soldier of Hanzhong was knocked to the ground by the force of the stone bullet, and his visible breast was lowered by a layer. He uttered a faint scream because his chest was blocked and his breath would naturally not come out.

There was also a soldier in Hanzhong. The stone bullet happened to explode on his legs, and the blood around his knees suddenly became bloody. His legs were broken at the knees. It was obvious that the connected flesh and bones were divided into two.

The pain seemed to be cut off for an instant, and after a while, the screams came out of the Hanzhong soldiers.

"Ah!!! Legs, my legs!"

The soldier of Hanzhong who had his broken leg screamed and wailed, blood and tears poured down. The surrounding Hanzhong soldiers saw his tragic situation and wanted to pull him down. However, several stone bullets came one after another, one after another, hitting the top of the city, they turned and ran in fright. .

Yang Ren stood still in disbelief.

Isn't the catapult only able to throw a hundred moves at most? Why is it so far?

How did the enemy do it?

Unbelievable Yang was stunned for a while, and at this moment a stone bullet came.
