Chapter 567 Bloody Battle at Xuanyuan Pass

Chen Gong said: "The walls of Xuanyuan Pass are the same as those of Hulao Pass in the east. They are made of tall huge rocks. It is actually difficult to destroy the city with weapons such as catapults." Ailang thought: "The catapults are hard to shake. Our primitive cannons must be even more useless. There are not many gunpowder and limited projectiles, so we can't waste it."

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "General, our catapult cart is very powerful beyond Cao's expectations. You can take advantage of the enemy's panic and frightened moments when they are panic and frightened, and you may be able to break through Xuanyuan Pass in one fell swoop!"

Ailang felt that what he said made sense, and immediately shouted to his generals: "I ordered all troops to prepare to attack Chengguan, and then the catapult car would launch two more rounds of bombardment!" The generals agreed with their fists.

The Lu Bu army's catapult car launched two earth-shaking bombardments one after another, and Cao's army was suppressed under the corner of the wall and could not move at all. At this moment, five thousand elite Lu Bu army, led by the powerful general Wen Chou, pushed various ladders and towers to rush straight to the city wall! There was no drum beat or shouting, so as not to alarm the enemy troops that were avoiding the bombardment of huge rocks in the city.

Le Jin raised his head and looked at the city wall, frowned and murmured, "Strange, the interval this time is larger than before,..." Then he looked moved, and he hurriedly clasped his fists at Cao Ren and said, "General, the enemy must have come up, send officers and soldiers to the city wall to guard!" Cao Ren also reacted at this time, immediately ordered most of the officers and soldiers to stay in the corner, and he himself led thousands of elite soldiers to quickly run up the city wall ladder on the inside of the city wall.

As soon as the city was reached, the Cao army officers and soldiers suddenly saw that the Liao army had approached the city wall and began to climb the city! The hurried shouts suddenly sounded loudly, and the soldiers quickly threw the rolling stone cubes that had been ready to be on the city wall, and the crossbowmen hurriedly shot arrows! For a moment, the arrows were like rain, and the rolling stone cubes were like a waterfall. The Lu Bu army officers and soldiers who were climbing the city wall along the ladder were immediately beaten and fell like raindrops!

However, Lu Bu's officers and soldiers continued to climb. The crossbowmen under the corners raised their strong crossbows and retorted their colors. They saw powerful arrows roaring over the wall, and the Cao army officers and soldiers on the wall were shot to the ground one after another. Two Cao soldiers raised a huge slut and prepared to throw them down the city wall. At this moment, several wolf-tooth arrows suddenly flew under the city to hit the chests of the two soldiers. The two soldiers groaned and flipped backwards. The slut in their hands failed to throw them, but instead smashed themselves into their brains and flesh!

At the same time, the flying tower was approaching the city wall. The front baffle suddenly dropped and smashed heavily on the wall battlements, causing countless stone chips to fly around, making the Cao army soldiers around him bleeding. The Lu Bu army officers and soldiers hid in the flying tower suddenly threw a wave of guns at the Cao army on the top of the city, and suddenly saw flesh and blood flying. Many Cao army officers and soldiers were knocked over to the ground and screamed in pain before they could react! The Lu Bu army officers and soldiers in the flying tower took this opportunity to rush up to the top of the city and attacked and killed the Cao army officers and soldiers on the top of the city. The Cao army officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives to resist. The cold light flew around and blood danced in the scene!

Cao Ren urgently ordered the crossbowmen to snipe the Lu Bu army who came out of the flying tower. The crossbowmen quickly turned around and fired arrows towards the flying tower. The arrows fired by the crossbowmen of the Cao army flew around the various flying towers. The officers and soldiers of the Lu Bu army who came out of the flying tower were shot and fell down from the flying tower. Thanks to the crossbowmen's sniping, the Cao army gradually stabilized their positions. At the same time, the Cao army in the city gate continued to reinforce and join the battle, and continued to counterattack Lu Bu army flew wildly. The big sword collided and the long spear raised blood. On the battlefield, the flesh and blood were flying across the ground.

It was already a scene of corpses piled up, and the officers and soldiers on both sides fought fiercely on the bodies of the fallen soldiers on both sides, like ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts! The timid people would probably be scared to the ground if they saw this scene! The seriously injured soldiers were squirming in the blood of the corpses, and no one of the officers and soldiers on both sides who had already killed red-eyed people noticed him! The officers and soldiers of Lu Bu on the top of the city were unable to replenish their forces, while the Cao army's support troops continued to surge on the top of the city. After paying an extremely heavy price, they gradually pushed the Lu Bu's army back to the top of the city!

However, because the crossbowmen all suppressed the Lu Bu army attacking from the flying tower, the pressure on the Lu Bu army attacking the city from the cloud ladder was greatly reduced. Not long after, this part of the Lu Bu army quickly rushed to the city and attacked into the middle of the Cao army. The Cao army had already gradually suppressed the Lu Bu army attacking from the flying tower, but the Lu Bu army attacked from the cloud ladder suddenly disrupted their positions, and the situation on the city wall quickly became dangerous again. The part of the Lu Bu army, who was originally suppressed by the Cao army, immediately launched a crazy attack, wielding a big sword and sacrificing their lives! A brave man from the Lu Bu army waved his axe and attacked in fiercely!

In the middle of Cao's army, a big axe roared and raised pieces of flesh and blood. The Cao army officers and soldiers roared and fought back to death, wielding a spear and a big knife to try to kill this fierce enemy! However, the hero of the Lu Bu army was like a completely crazy giant bear, regardless of the spear and swords that were greeted by him, and they just waved the axe to kill the enemy. During the fierce killing of both sides, blood was seen flying on the body of the Lu Bu army, and the Cao army officers and soldiers in front of him were chopped down by his battle axe! This was a crazy fierce battle, and both sides had only one idea in their minds, that was to kill the opponent!

During the fierce battle, Lu Bu's army gradually took the initiative, and the defense line at the top of the city was in danger! Seeing this, Ailang immediately ordered Yan Liang to lead the follow-up troops to follow up!

Cao Ren saw that there were fighting everywhere on the city. Although his officers and soldiers were fighting desperately, these Lu Bu soldiers were simply not humans. They were as fierce as tigers and wolves. The battle situation gradually developed in a direction that was unfavorable to them! If this continues, the city will lose!

Cao Ren was quick to learn, and immediately rushed to the inside of the city wall, shouted at the crossbow formation arranged in the city gate: "All crossbowmen obey orders! Shoot on the top of the city!"

The Cao army officers and soldiers under the city were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other for a moment and didn't know what to do. Seeing that they were not moving, Cao Ren was very anxious and shouted loudly: "All crossbowmen fired arrows immediately! Violators will be punished by military law!"

Le Jin first reacted and shouted to the crossbowman: "Brothers! Bend the bow and arrow!" The crossbowman subconsciously began to bend the bow and arrow, and in a short while he was ready! Le Jin pointed to the city where he was fighting and shouted sternly: "Facing the city, prepare!!" The crossbowman aimed at the voices of the battle on the city, and couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat.

At this time, the follow-up troops of Lu Bu's army had already surged to the top of the city, and the offensive was like a strong wind and a huge wave! The Cao army officers and soldiers who fought to the death fell into pools of blood! Seeing the urgent situation, Cao Ren couldn't help but yelled: "Shoot the arrow!!" Le Jin couldn't help but waved his spear forward and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!!" The crossbowmen fired arrows together, and the dense arrows rushed to the top of the city like a dark cloud. In an instant, both sides fighting on the city were almost at the same time.

After the rain of arrows passed, there were almost not many people standing on the city wall! At this time, Li Dian shouted loudly and led thousands of elite troops to the city wall to counterattack the remaining Lu Bu army on the city wall. However, the Lu Bu army officers and soldiers on the city wall did not turn around and flee. They fought in the enemy's siege until their last breath. As a Lu Bu army soldier was pushed out of the city wall by his opponent's spears and fell down, the bloody and cruel battle finally came to an end.

Ailang was frustrated when he saw that this round of attack failed. Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, said, "General, the enemy's fighting will be beyond imagination. If he continues to fight, it will only be useless to lose his troops. Please retreat temporarily!"

Ailang looked at the city gate with some reluctance, feeling that after this round of fierce attacks, the enemy suffered heavy losses, and maybe they could break the gate after a while. So he did not listen to Chen Gong's advice and continued to order the army to attack fiercely. The fierce battle continued until dusk. Lu Bu's army paid a considerable price, but could not break the gate. At this time, Ailang finally calmed down and couldn't help but regret not following Chen Gong's advice before, so he lost so many officers and soldiers in vain. At this time, Chen Gong advised again: "General, our army is no longer as aggressive as before, please retreat." Ailang frowned and nodded, shouting loudly: "Go away!"

Dangdangdangdang...! The sound of the golden bell sounded loudly, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield quickly faded away, and Lu Bu's army slowly retreated from the city gate! The fierce battle of the day was finally over! At this time, the sunset was setting, and the heaven and earth were covered with blood, and corpses were piled up like mountains on the top of the city, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides dyed the originally gray-white city walls into sauce! Although Lu Bu's army paid a heavy price in this battle, Cao's army was afraid that the casualties would be even more severe! This is a duel between strong troops. Once they collided, they would kill corpses and blood flowed into rivers! The war between strong people was always so tragic!

After discussing the generals under Ai Langyu, he asked the generals to go down and rest. He stood in front of the sand table and looked at Xuanyuan Guan on the sand table with his frown, and an evil fire couldn't help but surge in his heart. Chen Gong stood aside and showed a thoughtful look. With his wisdom, he could not think of a way to break the barrier.

At this time, Huang Wudie came in, clasped her fists and said, "Brother, the casualties are roughly counted." Ai Lang raised his head and looked at Huang Wudie. Huang Wudie said, "In today's battle, there were more than 1,500 dead and more than 2,000 injured. The specific numbers are still under statistics."

Ailang couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! It was just a tentative battle that caused me to lose so many officers and soldiers!... Damn it! What kind of city wall is that? Why can't my heavy catapult cart shake it in the slightest?"

Chen Gong thought, "For the sake of the present, we can only break through Xuanyuan Pass with another way." Then he clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "General, this case is a mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, and this place may not be the only place to pass!" Ailang's eyes lit up and praised, "That's right! Such a big mountain, it's impossible that only Xuanyuan Pass can pass by! We can find a small path and then send elite troops around Xuanyuan Pass and stab them hard! At that time, we can definitely break through Xuanyuan Pass in one fell swoop!" Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "General is wise!"

Ailang immediately said to Huang Wudie: "Wudie, immediately send someone to the surrounding area to find out if there are any paths. Tell them that as long as we can lead the way for our army to bypass Xuanyuan Pass, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold." Huang Wudie responded and stopped going.

Ai Lang returned to the position of commander and sat down. He was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Old Chen, how is Ju Yi's situation? Is there any news?" Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "There is no news yet. But the general doesn't have to worry at all. General Ju Yi is well versed in military tactics and is a talented general. Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei are both bravest and the three armies. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are definitely not their opponents. When Ai Lang heard Chen Gong's words, he couldn't help but let go of his originally worried heart. However, Ai Lang was not completely relieved. After all, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are definitely not opponents who can be easily dealt with. If there is a possibility...? Ai Lang couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of this.

At this time, a personal soldier led a young man in plain clothes in and clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "General, news about it is coming." The personal soldier gave up aside after he finished speaking. The young man in dust immediately stepped forward and said, "God of the General! The villain brought the message on Lord Zhang's order!"

Ai Lang asked: "What's going on in Guanzhong now? Liu Bei was not defeated, right?" The young man clasped his fists and said: "Report to the general, the war is in progress, and Liu Bei has retreated to Chang'an. The army led by Cao Pi and the barbarian coalition have arrived under Chang'an City to launch an attack!"
