I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 331 The Han army’s torrent of steel! The big man is back!

The guards at the top of Xuchang City looked at the dark cavalry craze ahead with horrified eyes.

The dust there was billowing, and from a distance, it looked like a roaring dragon.

The business travelers who were walking outside the city gate as usual turned back in horror.

"enemy?"

"The enemy is attacking!"

On the tower, the bell rang.

Without listening to the bells, many people in the city heard the mighty clatter of iron hoofs outside, and had already cast their gazes in confusion and horror.

"Liu Gong! Liu Gong! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" Zhang Ran, the county magistrate, hurriedly walked into the prefect's office.

Liu Ziyuan, the prefect of Yingchuan, was calculating the situation of food distribution to the front line today. He raised his head and said impatiently: "Why are you panicking?"

When Liu Ziyuan went out, he saw that the crowd on the street in front was already a little confused.

More people heard the roar.

Liu Ziyuan immediately put down his pen, stood up and strode out, with Zhang Ran following him.

"Ok?"

There were also troops stationed outside Xuchang City. At this time, the general Wang Jung had just finished his inspection and was still drinking and dancing in the military camp.

There were faint rumbling sounds from the direction of the south city gate.

Only then did Liu Ziyuan come to his senses and hurriedly said to Zhang Ran: "Give me the order to assemble the soldiers and horses in the city immediately! Close all city gates!"

"Nonsense! This is Xuchang, where did the enemy come from!"

Suddenly I heard a rumbling sound, and my expression changed drastically: "What happened?"

"The Shu army is coming!"

"Here!"

"..."

"It's coming! It's really coming!"

"But outside..." Zhang Ran pointed outside.

Liu Ziyuan was startled and laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about! This is Xuchang, where did the Shu army come from!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside, and it was people passing by the prefect's office.

"The enemy is coming! Run home..."

"There's going to be a war! Hundreds of thousands of troops are coming outside! Go back and hide!"

Liu Ziyuan's expression suddenly changed: "The Shu army is really coming?"

"Report! General! Enemy attack!"

"Shu Army! Shu Army is coming!"

The ground even began to tremble faintly.

The soldiers who were still training at the school grounds stopped in unison and looked ahead in horror.

They saw the torrent of cavalry in front of them, charging towards them with great momentum.

"Enemy attack! Gather quickly!"

Wang Jun rushed out of the camp and saw the torrent of Han cavalry.

"Quick! Quick! Take up arms!"

"Close the camp door quickly!"

"Get ready!"

It was too late. The reason why Li Heng sent out the cavalry first was to destroy the military camp outside Xuchang as quickly as possible.

The Han cavalry was uniformly equipped with double stirrups, and all wore the finest iron armor.

Every cavalryman is selected from the elite.

You can mount a horse to shoot and charge, and dismount to fight on foot.

This is an elite team whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"Young men! Let me kill you to your heart's content today!" Guan Tong shouted, holding a long spear, and he took the lead.

The Han cavalry behind shouted: "Long live the big man! Long live the big man! Long live the big man..."

I saw Guan Tong rushing to the gate of the military camp. The Wei soldiers were about to close the door. Guan Tong shot one of the Wei soldiers in the left eye with an arrow.

Then he rushed over, and before the other party could react, he shot the other person in the chest, picked him up and threw him away. Then he rushed in.

At this time, the Wei army inside was in chaos, without armor or even weapons.

The officers hurriedly arranged their formation, but it was too late.

The Han troops filed in through the gate, like a torrent of steel rushing into the wheat fields, quickly lifting up pieces of "wheat".

Screams came one after another, and countless people were lifted away by the horses before they had time to escape.

When the number of Han troops behind increased, this terrifying impact became even more terrifying.

The newly improvised defense in front was as fragile as rotten wood. The Wei troops who were thrown off and fell to the ground had no time to escape before they were trampled into pulp by the frenzy of Han cavalry behind them.

"Run!"

"help me……"

"Don't push me! Don't push..."

The sound of sharp spears piercing bones, the crisp sound of long knives quickly cutting between flesh and blood, were mixed with countless desperate screams.

At this moment, the Wei army in Xuchang experienced the true power of the Han army's cavalry for the first time.

They roared like an angry sea, crushing them row after row.

Wherever it goes, rotten meat and soil stick together!
Wang Jun picked up his pants and prepared to run away, but he couldn't run away.

Guan came over with a shot and stabbed him in the back.

Then he moved on.

The scope of the attack expanded with the influx of more Han troops.

After the city gate was closed, those merchants who had not yet had time to enter the city were so frightened that they collapsed when they heard the desperate shouts coming from the military camp in the distance.

In Xuchang City, the dignitaries who had planned to go on a trip while the weather was nice were even more overwhelmed and fled home in embarrassment.

The traffickers and lackeys heard countless cries for help and fled to the houses on both sides of the street in fear.

I don't know how long it took, but the Wei army camp was in a mess.

Countless people tore down the fences and fled in panic, but the momentum of the Han cavalry had been fully formed.

The momentum was like the galloping Yangtze River, moving forward inexorably, impacting all obstacles in front of it.

At this time, the prefect Liu Ziyuan came to the city.

He saw the shocking scene.

The military camp stationed outside the city has been completely breached.

There were 13,000 soldiers and horses there!
Liu Ziyuan's face was as pale as paper.

"Mr. Liu! Look!"

Liu Ziyuan looked towards the south in search of sound, and saw a large area of ​​endless flags flying there.

The army spread out on the wide plains, forming square formations with uniform steps, just like pieces of steel cubes moving across the earth, making the earth thump.

That kind of momentum was something Liu Ziyuan had never seen before.

It was also something that the Xuchang defenders had never seen before.

Those who can really fight have been brought to Nanyang by the Sima brothers, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Xuchang are just showpieces.

Who would have thought that Li Heng crossed the mountains, entered the Central Plains, and launched a lightning raid on Xuchang?

Brother Sima could not imagine it, and the princes, nobles, officials and ministers of Xuchang could not even imagine it.

The land that was once Cao Cao's foundation was now trembling under Li Heng's feet.

When the main infantry regiment of the Han army arrived at the city, the red flags with "Han" written on them fluttered in the wind, as if announcing to the world: I am back!

The big man is back!
This time, Li Heng did not bring the Eight Ox Crossbow or the heavy artillery along the way.

But he still brought five hundred engineer battalions.

These five hundred people are enough!
After arriving at the city, Li Heng's first step was to use archers to shoot at the top of the city to further deter the enemy.

The second step is to have the engineering battalion build ladders and heavy artillery.

He doesn't need many ladders, just fifty simple ladders.

We don’t need too many heavy artillery, twenty heavy artillery.

This time it was not about destroying Xuchang, but a series of thunderous methods to completely suppress Xuchang.

Then seize the city head and you can capture Xuchang!
