The siege battle began yesterday evening, and has lasted for a day and a night now, and the Han army has accumulated nearly 30,000 lives under the city wall, and the corpses are strewn all over the ground, and the blood is flowing like a river.
Although most of them are Kushan people and Southeast Asian natives, after all, they are soldiers trained by Wu Qi, in the face of such huge casualties, Wu Qi's eyes are almost breathing fire, and he personally beats the drum to cheer: "Give me to attack the city at all costs, even if I fill in another 30,000 lives, I will not hesitate to swear to break through the Blue Horse Pass and slaughter the Great Xia barbarians."
"Kill" Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, He Yuanqing, Shang Shitu and other fierce generals each selected 30,000 elite soldiers and threw them into the brutal siege battle at the same time.
The arrows on the city wall are like rain, the rolling stones are like hail, the feather arrows are wrapped in the sound of "lingering" off the strings and sprinkled on the top of the heads of the Han army who are going forward, and the huge rolling stones with the whistling wind are like bombs smashed into the crowd, and the screams come and go, and the flesh and blood are blurred everywhere.
And the Han army also refused to show weakness, relying on the strength of its own people, there were 50,000 professional crossbow soldiers alone, and every wave of crossbow arrows poured on the city, like a shower.
Although the power of the upward shot is far less than that of the fire on the city wall, it is better than the density, and the dense arrow rain covers almost all directions without dead ends, so it also causes great damage to the defenders on the city wall.
In addition to the professional crossbow soldiers far surpassing the defenders, the Han army also had powerful thunderbolts and wells to help, more than 300 powerful thunderbolts threw one boulder after another into the sky, with the sound of the howling wind to smash the city, one after another, one after another, the lethality to the defenders was not under the rolling stones, or even surpassed.
Every boulder that fell from the sky would kill and injure one or two Great Xia soldiers.
The well fence is a signal tower-like weapon, with a height of about five zhang and a wheel at the bottom, which can be moved back and forth on the battlefield.
More than a dozen crossbowmen can stand on each well railing, which is almost the same as the height of the city wall, which greatly enhances the lethality of the archers to the defenders on the city wall.
More than 500 well fences carried more than 5,000 crossbowmen, one by one holding Zhuge crossbows, like machine guns shooting at the city wall, causing great damage to the Great Xia army.
Facing the Han army that was more than eight times its own, facing the Han army with advanced weapons, and facing the Han army that all arms fought together, the Great Xia defenders on the city wall also suffered huge casualties, and after a day and a night of fierce fighting, there were about 20,000 casualties, and only about 30,000 soldiers were left who could resist stubbornly.
With the reduction of troops, the defensive strength on the city wall is gradually weakening, the threat to the Han army at the foot of the city wall is decreasing, and the Han army's wave after wave of offensive is destroying the confidence of the defenders, and it is not far from climbing the city wall.
Tian Dan was dressed in military uniform, never leaving the commander Wu Qi's left and right, and felt that the time was ripe at this moment, so he pleaded: "Marshal, the bed crossbow made by the last general can be put into the battlefield, and strive to climb the city head in one go before Xiang Yu returns, and the soldiers under the city wall must not be sacrificed in vain."
Wu Qi stroked his beard and laughed: "Blue Horse Pass is already crumbling, even if Xiang Yu is here, Han Xin can force Xiang Yu to death, and I, Wu Qi, can also make Xiang Yu sink into the sand, but the bed crossbow you invented took a lot of effort, it's time to show its power."
With Wu Qi's order, Tian Dan waved the order flag at a high place and commanded more than 100 bed crossbows designed and supervised by himself to attack the city.
With the sound of "squeak" axles, more than 100 tall bed crossbows were pushed to a distance of about 15 zhang from the city wall, lined up, and aimed the crossbow holes at the city wall.
"Ponto, pun, pun" With the sound of a loud shot, the bed crossbow improved and strengthened by Tian Dan burst out with great power.
The long, half-foot long crossbow as thick as a tasseled spear was cut out and dug deep into the wall, filling the air with soot and dust.
Moreover, this kind of bed crossbow can continue to increase the height, and the height of the long crossbow shot into the city wall is also raised, dense, like a random thorn.
So what is the purpose of this bed crossbow developed by Tian Dan does not shoot people, but is specially used to shoot the city wall The answer is to use the long crossbow nailed into the city wall as a support, and keep climbing upwards, which is much safer than the ladder and will not be easily pushed down by the defenders on the city wall.
Moreover, the protruding part on the top of the head is half a zhang long, densely packed, and can also play a role in blocking the rolling stones and trees, protecting the climbing soldiers, which is like a tiger wings for the offensive of the Han army.
Huang Feihu was dressed in gold-plated armor, holding a purple gold Moyun pestle, stepping on a long crossbow and climbing up agilely, like an ape advancing and retreating freely, and his mouth kept applauding: "Great, this bed crossbow invented by Tian Senjun is much safer than the cloud ladder, and the one who climbs the city wall first this time must be me Huang Feihu."
"Dingdong Huang Feihu will attack one Babylon and one Daxia city each within this month, so it is affected by the attribute of taking the level, force 4, basic force 105, weapon Purple Gold Moyun Pestle 1, and the current force has risen to 110" Huang Feihu swung his weapon, rolled up a ball of purple golden light, and kept climbing upwards from the upper and lower defenses of Zhou, and was the first to climb the city wall.
With a tiger roar, the purple gold Moyun pestle in his hand was swung out, and he cut down the three Great Xia soldiers at once, and the terrifying defenders retreated one after another.
Jiang Song on the other side was not to be outdone, brandished the Eight Treasure Exquisite Spear and climbed hard, shot down the dense carvings, swept away the hail-like rolling stones, and also jumped up, the spear was like lightning, and instantly picked several Great Xia soldiers off the city.
"Kill, drive the Han people off the city" Ji Bu roared loudly with a heavy sword in his hand, hysterically directing the defenders to encircle and suppress Huang Feihu.
"Good time" Huang Feihu was angry, roaring like thunder, and every time he went down, he would cut down a Great Xia soldier and rush towards Ji Bu.
Under the leadership of Huang Feihu's swift arrival, countless first-class dead soldiers held shields in their left hands and swaying broadswords in their right hands, shouting and roaring to kill the enemy, forcing the Great Xia army to retreat step by step, opening up a more empty area for the following Han army.
On the other side, Jiang Song's spear made it superb, almost a god blocked and killed the god and Buddha, and every shot would take away a life.
The dead soldiers of the Han army behind him also climbed the city one after another, brandishing swords and spears and slashing fiercely, and the killing of the Great Xia army retreated one after another, and the formation gradually presented a rout.
Just when Huang Feihu and Jiang Song led their troops to the city wall one after another, Yang Qilang, Shang Shifu and others also attacked the city wall, cut the locks, and opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city.
Zhang Han, Zhang He, He Yuanqing and other generals each took their own precautions, leading the ant-like Han army through the city gate, rushing into the Blue Horse Pass like a tide, chasing and killing the retreating Daxia soldiers in all directions.
"The general trend has gone, pass on my order, and the whole army will retreat quickly" Guo Kan, who was appointed as the main general by Xiang Yu, saw this scene, so he could only turn over and order the whole army to abandon the Blue Horse Pass and retreat from the north gate, and retreat to Salt Lake City to re-arm.
"Alas, Xiang Yu's general trend has gone, and the battle of Camel Ridge started because of me and Su Qin, but I didn't want to be self-defeating, resulting in heavy losses for Xiang Yu.
I'm afraid that I can't hide Lu Wang's fiery eyes, so it's better to take this opportunity to join Liu Xiu, anyway, after their father and son call themselves Gaozu, maybe they will treat me more favorably than Xiang Yu."
Thinking of this, Pang Tongyi turned over his horse, rushed out of the city from the north gate of the Blue Horse Pass, and galloped north for more than ten miles.
Then he turned back and went west to the territory of the Babylonian Kingdom, and then went southwest to find the Roman army led by Liu Xiu to find a way to survive.
The defeat was like a mountain, and after the tide of Han troops swarmed into the city, Murong Ke and Yang Yanhui opened the road in front, Lu Lingqi and Shi Dakai were in the center, and Guo Kan and Ji Bu were behind.
Guo Kan barely rushed out of the city, but Ji Bu was tightly entangled by Huang Feihu and rushed left and right, but he couldn't get out of the city.
"Where will the barbarian go, He Yuanqing is here" Ji Bu relied on his own soldiers to block desperately, and finally got rid of Huang Feihu's entanglement, and just walked to the bottom of the north gate, he was blocked by He Yuanqing, who was carrying a pair of bright silver hammers.
"Today is only a battle to the death" Ji Bu gritted his teeth, urged the war horse under his crotch, and waved the spear in his hand to take He Yuanqing directly.
He Yuanqing wielded a sledgehammer and urged the horse to greet him: "Our army has taken the lives of so many soldiers, An Neng does not cut off the head of a general, if you know the time to obediently dismount and surrender, maybe you can leave a whole corpse, if not, a hammer will be smashed into powder."
Ji Bu's spear is like the wind, fighting to the death: "If the husband dies, he will die, why rap" The two spears hammered back and forth, the horses stepped on a chain, and there were five or six rounds of battle, and Huang Feihu had already chased him up on foot from behind: "Where will the fan go, and eat my Huang Feihu a pestle" Seeing a flash of cold light, the sharp Moyun pestle had already cut Ji Bu's mount to the ground, and overturned Ji Bu off the horse, Huang Feihu stepped forward with an arrow, intending to capture Ji Bu alive.
Ji Bu knew that there was no possibility of breaking through, and the spear in his hand was raised high, and he stabbed him in the chest.

I only heard a "poof", the spear pierced through the chest, the hissing cold wind poured in through the gap, the blood gushed out, the whole person shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"King, Ji Bu can't return to Chu with you, he won't be blind" Ji Bu lay on the ground and roared a few times, gradually becoming silent, his head tilted, and he died of anger.
With Ji Bu's death, hundreds of thousands of Han troops flocked into the pass, and Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, Yang Qilang and others led troops to chase Guo Kan.
Wu Qi and Tian Dan collected prisoners, dispatched troops, and prepared to connect several of his cities to the north in one go, so as to be worthy of the 30,000 soldiers killed in the battle under the Blue Horse Pass.
Guo Kan and Murong Ke led more than 25,000 horses and horses who retreated from the Blue Horse Pass, and were chased and killed by Huang Feihu and others, and more than 5,000 people were killed t1706231537:
