Before entering Xingtai, Huan Xuan had a deep conversation with General Shen, and Huan Xuan felt relieved. In addition to seeing the powerful strength of the King's Army in Xingtai, it can also be seen that General Shen is very gentle towards their Xiangyang army.

Huan Xuan did not think that this was General Shen's pretending to behave because there was no need. To take a step back, even if General Shen was gentle on the surface but had evil intentions, with the current strength of the King's Army, it was far from their Xiangyang tribe able to resist.

Without these thoughts and hesitations disturbing thoughts, we can also focus more on the current war. It is always a truth to advance by generals because of their achievements.

General Shen asked the Xiangyang soldiers to be responsible for the war on one hand, which was an extremely rare opportunity for Huan Xuan and the Xiangyang generals. No matter how things will develop in the future, if they can fight beautifully and make great contributions in this battle, they will naturally be a little calmer.

As for the generals who followed Huan Xuan to Xingtai this time, they had few expressions in their words, but they were no longer resistant to the recruitment of Xingtai as they were originally. Especially when they saw a group of powerful weapons joining their team on the return journey, they also had expectations for the war later.

Although this batch of ordnance will not be assigned to their respective troops, from transportation to specific operations, a single battalion will be set up and directly managed by the central army, the generals also knew that only in this way could the greatest effect of these heavy equipment be played and miraculously effective on the battlefield.

After returning to the temporary garrison in Nanyang, Huan Xuan began to arrange his soldiers to set out in sequence. Compared with the marching and dispatch of the Heluo King's Army, the efficiency of the Xiangyang army was much lower. Although the soldiers were also brave, the cooperation in logistics and supplies was a little lacking, and they could not maintain the advancement of the army, so they could only advance in batches.

The first team to set sail westward was Huan Xuan's 2,000 central army, plus the remaining routes, a total of 5,000 troops, including the 500 Yangwu Ordnance Camp assisted by Taiwan, set out from Nanyang and headed towards Wuguan.

Wuguan was not as dangerous as Tongguan in this era, but it was also an important passage to enter and exit Guanzhong. The so-called four blocks of Qin were the throat of Qin and the pass. The pass was located between mountains and rivers, easy to defend but difficult to attack, especially Yique.

If we follow the original experience and tactics, Huan Xuan should have arranged the soldiers of the central army on the front of the pass. On the one hand, he maintained a siege and distributed scouts to cut off the connection between the guards of Wuguan and the rear parties. On the other hand, he waited for the subsequent troops to converge in succession, and then launched the battle to seize the pass with the advantage of military strength.

In order to trap the Martial Pass into an isolated stronghold, perhaps we must recruit courageously bypass the pass and set up ambush to surround the pass and fight aid. In the end, we either bravely seize the pass and defenders through the consumption of human life, or make the defenders in the pass realize that it is difficult to defend and surrender out of the pass.

But this time, with the addition of a group of powerful weapons, Huan Xuan's warfare was no longer conservative. After the camp was set up, he immediately started to fight. A whole of ten powerful general artillery was directly installed on the floating bridge on the Danshui River, while the rest of the soldiers collected between the surrounding mountains and grind stone bullets.

Wu Pass is the gateway of Shangluo, so Guo Jing's troops have set up more than 3,000 soldiers here. At the same time, some dock wall camps with mutual support are also set up on the west side of the pass. Nearly 10,000 soldiers can be engaged in combat around the surroundings, and Guo Jing's other clan son Guo Chun is commanded by the commander.

Although Guo Chun's reputation is not very obvious, he is also a brave general. Even when Jie Kingdom was still in great power in his early years, he had fought with Huan Xuan in Xiangfan, and they had won and lost each other. Judging from the results alone, Huan Xuan lost more than he lost.

Now that the Hu power is in decline, Guo Chun dares not lead the crowd out of the pass, but he still has a good understanding of the situation in the east and has prepared sufficient defensive facilities in the pass.

When the Xiangyang army arrived, Guo Chun sent soldiers to set up defense lines outside the walls, and sent people to curse the enemy to lure the Xiangyang army to attack and dispel his army's spirit: "Old Nu Huan Xuan, the defeated general under his command, has been in power for many years and is now willing to drive the west to die for Nanheruzi..."

There were naturally no good words to yell in front of the formation, so after hearing the insults from the other side, the soldiers under Huan Xuan were also very embarrassed and angry for a moment, and they all asked to fight to fight to combat the enemy's arrogance.

"It is an indisputable fact that the slave thief is poor. He retreated and lived here, and he had long been a terrified person. Even if he had a moment of verbal pleasure, he would inevitably die in the final situation. There is no need to rush to fight for a while!"

Huan Xuan looked at the wall opposite with a large number of stones, giant trees and other objects stacked on it. He knew that fierce fighting would inevitably lead to heavy casualties. Now that he was on his own side, there was no need to drive the soldiers forward for a moment of intent to save their lives, so he just ordered the camp to continue to strengthen.

The Hu soldiers at the pass saw that there was no sign of attacking the Xiangyang army, and they were even more arrogant for a moment. Guo Chun even organized some soldiers to rush out of the defense line, and the pedals flowed downward from the Danshui water surface, which was full of arrogance.

"Shoot a crossbow first!"

Seeing this on the other side, Huan Xuan naturally would not be polite, so he waved his hand to order, and then the sound of drums sounded from the army formation.

A total of ten powerful crossbows were loaded on the warship and on both sides of the Danshui River, and they opened their own strength, and then they flew wildly. The crossbow arrows that were thicker than their arm were not as good as steel guns, and dozens of black rainbows broke through the air.

Soon the enemy paid the price for his arrogance. The distance between them was still around the corner. The enemy soldiers had not even opened their strings, and the powerful crossbows had already shot up, with sharp and rapid momentum.

Although there was also a shield at the front of the enemy's soldiers, the shield was like paper in front of such a strong arrow, without any defensive effect, and was directly pierced and shattered by the arrow!

As for the enemy soldiers behind the shield, they were naturally unable to escape. Within a moment, several people were directly penetrated by strong arrows, and rolled into the water wailingly, and soon dyed the river water a layer of blood!

Although these strong arrows are not large in number and the actual killing is limited, the deterrence is full. The Hu soldiers have never seen such a fierce crossbow with such a long range. The crossbows in their hands are simply joking. Within this large charge distance, they are completely unprepared targets!

Seeing this, Guo Chunyan's face became ugly, and then ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops and let the soldiers retreat to the defense line in front of the wall, so that they would not take useless risks to save their lives, which made their morale even worse. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers on the wall to insult Huan Xuan more frequently, in order to stimulate the other party to attract the crowd to attack.

There are many preparations in the pass. As long as the opponent dares to attack closely, Guo Chun will be confident to give the opponent several times of fierce revenge. Even though those powerful crossbow arrows are sharp and fierce, their role can be played very limited under the protection of the thick wall.

Especially if the opponent dares to set up a strong crossbow in front of him, Guo Chun plans to rush to the enemy formation at any cost. As long as he can steal a few pieces on the top of the city, the entire pass will be even more unbreakable.

After repelling the enemy's tentative attack, Huan Xuan was also happy with the powerful deterrence of the king's army on the battle formation. Such a calm arrangement of offensives was simply a battle formation experience he had never had before.

As for the soldiers under his command, they saw with their own eyes how powerful their killing weapons were, and their morale was also rising. In the face of the insults from the enemy camp, they were not ashamed and annoyed, but instead burst into laughter.

For example, the enemy insulted the soldiers of Xiangyang soldiers and were extremely timid and dared to use weapons to show off their evil spirits. If you dare to fight in person, you will be dead. This is nonsense. Just as the enemy cannot give up on defense and fight in a grand manner outside the walls. Everyone has their own support in the war, which is the most normal thing. If you attack others' strengths with your own shortcomings, that is the stupidest way to do it!

Time passed by the mutual insults between the two sides. Although the Xiangyang army did not even have a tentative attack during this process, Guo Chun did not dare to relax because of this.

He stood at the top of the city and could see clearly what was going on in the enemy camp. Seeing that the Xiangyang army was collecting a large number of stone bullets, he could not guess where the opponent would use those strange-shaped trenchers as the main attack method later.

This discovery made Guo Chun feel a little calm, but he was a little nervous.

The stone-capping machine is indeed a weapon of attack and defense. Even the current Wuguan Pass has set up many military formations to attack the enemy's approaching the wall. Wuguan is also a powerful pass that has been in operation for many years. The walls are high, broad and sturdy. Generally, the stone-capping can only cause some harassment, and its lethality is actually limited.

Both sides have such weapons. In comparison, because the Wuguan Guards occupy the commanding heights, the lethality that can be exerted by throwing stones should be even greater. When both sides fight, the advantage must be on their own side. Huan Xuan wants to win the pass by such monotonous means, which is a dream.

However, after seeing the lethality of the opponent's powerful crossbow and seeing the strange shape of the catapult on the opposite side, Guo Chun vaguely felt that something might be beyond common sense in this battle.

However, since the opponent is still preparing to launch an attack in full swing, he naturally has to make corresponding preparations. Therefore, Guo Chun also ordered the soldiers to go up to the wall and put out heavy objects such as catapults and giant trees. As soon as the opponent approaches, he will immediately fight back with a thunder!

Finally, the Yangwu Army lieutenant, who was responsible for controlling the general's artillery in the military formation, came to report that all preparations had been stopped. Should he launch an attack immediately?

Huan Xuan had witnessed the power of the general's cannon with his own eyes and had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Moreover, regardless of the drills on the school field, only actual combat is the best way to test their power.

"attack!"

With Huan Xuan's order, the central army's army had gongs and drums sounded, and the general's artillery on the front slowly pushed forward. At the same time, the defenders on the wall also responded, throwing stones high and smashing them in this direction.

At present, the distance between the two sides is still two miles away, so the range of the throwing stones on the wall is naturally impossible to cross such a long distance, so the main purpose is to deter the Xiangyang army and force the Xiangyang army to avoid getting close to the wall.

However, the general stopped after pushing the cannon less than ten feet in front of him, and was still outside the opponent's range. This scene made the defenders on the wall laugh even more and mocked the Xiangyang army for being timid.

However, the amazing scene soon interrupted their ridicule!

The generals' artillery were each firmly standing on the spot, and then the buckles were furious. The huge stone bullets were thrown high. The huge force flew through the air with these stone bullets, and then they bombarded heavily on the wall!

"What, how could this be?"

The huge impact force caused the wall to tremble. Unpredictable, the broken and splashing stone even hit Guo Chun's chest leaf directly, and his whole body was subconsciously pushed and slapped into the wall by his close relatives.

The soldiers in the Xiangyang Army battle formation outside the wall also saw this scene, and thunderous cheers sounded in the entire front! Seeing this, Huan Xuan couldn't help but smile and waved his fists high and slammed in the air: "I will break this barrier today!"

The next battle process was the performance time of the general's artillery alone. Ten general's artillery were arranged in sequence and bombarded the city head in sequence. Wuguan Pass City was indeed worthy of being a hero. Under such frequent bombardment, the walls of the pass were still standing there, without major collapse damage.

However, during the bombardment of the general's artillery, the wall was completely unable to counterattack. All the counterattack methods prepared by the enemy soldiers were completely unable to be effective at such a range. They could only be beaten passively, screamed, and ran around helplessly!

The saddest thing is that the enemy soldiers lined up outside the walls were completely crushed by the strong offensive of the general's artillery, and they could no longer provide assistance. They could only helplessly trap under the walls. If they wanted to organize a front to charge towards the opposite side, they would have to face the powerful crossbow's chiseling and harvest!

After half a lifetime of military service, war can still be like this!

At this moment, the central army of Xiangyang Army had already fallen into a carnival. Although these veterans from Xiangyang had extremely rich combat experience, similar offensive and defensive situations and war situations were unheard of and unseen!

"Run! Grab the pass first and strive for great achievements!"

With a loud bang, a collapse gap appeared in the Wuguan Pass wall under continuous shooting. Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Xiangyang were even more excited. They didn't even need the command of the commander to drive them. They all howled and reunited, swarmed in, busy chasing and killing the chaotic enemy troops in the Guan City!
