Chapter 362 The Scary Slinger

"Fifth Niang, I'm coming!"

Shao Sihu was one step ahead of everyone and spoke out first.

He said that he wanted to take down Yanmen Pass and give it to her.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at Shao Sihu, met his firm and calm eyes, and then looked at other people. Seeing that no one objected, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, then Xiaohu will open the way for us."

Shao Xihu's eyes lit up, and he promised in a deep voice.

"Where are the catapults? Bring up twenty catapults, and I will beat the drums for you myself."

If someone could stand aside and watch, they would see that when Jiang Yuanxi ordered to set up camp, only [-]% of the soldiers were busy, and the remaining [-]% of the soldiers were waiting for orders.

When Jiang Yuanxi's army was fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass, the scout team sent out by Yanmen Pass sent back the news of their arrival. When they saw Jiang Yuanxi stopped twenty miles away, they all thought that Jiang Yuanxi wanted to set up camp first, and after he settled down, The attack will only happen tomorrow, and it never occurred to me that after Jiang Yuanxi rushed here non-stop all the way, he would launch an attack immediately.

In Jiang Yuanxi's words, even blacksmiths know to take advantage of the heat. They came in a mighty force, three times the number of guards at Yanmen Gate. How could they be cowardly when they met each other?
Naturally, we have to put some pressure on the general guarding the Yanmen Gate.

Twenty catapults and a drum beating cart were pushed up, and each catapult was followed by a large cart with many large stones on it. These were all brought out of the iron mine. There are many stones in it.

And these stones may have a second effect after being beaten out with a catapult. If the city wall of Yanmen Pass is broken, will there be stones to fill it?
Anyway, Jiang Yuanxi even brought the stone mud this time.

Jiang Yuanxi got off his horse, stood on the drum beating cart, picked up a stick, and struck hard.

"Boom"

With this sound, no matter whether it was camping or the assembled soldiers, they all looked at the place where the drum sounded.

"dong dong dong"

With a wave of Shao Sihu's hand, the sergeants newly appointed as the Huben Army pushed the catapult, surrounded by a thousand cavalry guards, and the remaining [-] sergeants followed behind Shao Sihu's footsteps as the drums vibrated.

Hu Bugui and the others behind him watched with piercing eyes, and after the Huben army marched two miles, they also led people to follow behind and press down on the border, just in case the Yanmen Gate defenders opened the city gate to fight, they would support in time.

"Boom" Jiang Yuanxi knocked hard.

"Hu Ben's army is invincible!" Shao Sihu shouted loudly.

"Hu Ben army, invincible!" Five thousand tiger ben army shouted with red faces and thick necks.

It was the commander-in-chief of their Huben army who beat the drum, and the deputy general of their Huben army led the troops. When they followed their followers to fight with them, the five thousand sergeants were full of pride and great courage.

Especially the former county tyrant assassin Lu Ming and others, as the first people to follow Jiang Yuanxi and Shao Sihu, they had a kind of blind confidence in these two people, especially Jiang Yuanxi, and firmly believed that as long as they were there, they would The world is invincible, and this belief was well communicated to other sergeants through Lu Ming and others. They were gradually brainwashed by them as they got along day by day. Unlike Hu Bugui and Qu Chengwen's army, the Huben army had little fear and more What they want is to use this to make their "Hu Benjun" famous all over the world. As long as the Huben Army is mentioned, it will be the name of invincibility.

"Boom"

"The Tiger Army is invincible!"

Such a large force spread to the guards of Yanmen Gate from a long distance away. They did not expect Jiang Yuanxi to attack so quickly, but they were also experienced soldiers, and they didn't panic at all. With the bow and arrow, the guard is also watching the approaching army seriously from above.

When he saw the [-] cavalry in front and the [-] cavalry in the back, the guard's pupils shrank. Hearing the scouts' report was different from what he saw with his own eyes. You must know that the imperial court only had [-] cavalry, but Here, he was lucky enough to meet Sanqian.

When he looked at the twenty catapults again, he pursed his lips tightly again.

The Jiang family is really menacing.

He felt a little powerless in his heart, relying on these 5000 people, he didn't know if he could last until Master Wang's arrival, even if he could, how many of these 5000 people could survive?

More importantly, because he did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, he could only rely on the dangers of the mountains and the city wall to defend the city, and the distance of the bow and arrow was obviously not enough.

The guard punched the city wall bitterly. Damn it, the scouts didn't notice that Jiang Yuanxi had brought the catapult.

Watching the catapult stop when it was two hundred feet away from the city wall, the guard was slightly puzzled, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered orders to the left and right, and the left and right guards immediately took the order and left.

Shao Sihu watched with a cold face the heads of the people on the city wall swayed, waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "Put stones in."

Huben Jun skillfully installed the stones.

Jiang Yuanxi knocked hard again.

"Boom"

"cast!"

Ten people let go at the same time, and the stone in the catapult drew an arc in the air, and accurately threw it at the city wall of Yanmen Pass.

Twenty stones were thrown together, and none of them fell outside the city wall, either on the city wall or inside the city.

Suddenly, there were several screams on the city wall.

The guard's hands trembled slightly, and he looked at the catapult with an ugly expression. Jiang Yuanxi's catapult had a range of two hundred feet!
He just stopped wondering why it was so far away, the catapult brought by Jiang Yuanxi is more powerful than the court, the court's range is only 180 feet.

These catapults must have been improved!
The guard was very sure in his heart, who on earth could improve the catapult like this.

damn it!
The guards on his left and right urged anxiously: "My lord, this place is no longer safe, please retreat from the city wall."

The wailing of the archers who were hit by the boulder could still be heard in their ears. They were so anxious that there was even an archer who was unlucky and was hit on the head directly. After falling down, there was no sound.

The guard ignored the guard's dissuasion and ordered loudly: "Take the wounded down for treatment."

Then he asked sharply, "Where's the big yellow crossbow, why haven't you brought it up?"

The idea of ​​using archers to stop the enemy was completely in vain. He could only rely on the rhubarb crossbow. In the entire army, only he and another strong man could pull the rhubarb crossbow. Among them, only he was able to shoot the enemy with confidence. to go.

How could he go!

At this moment, when the twenty stones were thrown out, Shao Sihu watched intently. When the stones fell, he immediately pointed to several of the catapults, "Do you remember the angle at which the stones were thrown just now?"

These are the ones that just happened to throw the stone into the city wall.

For this moment, Jiang Yuanxi had prepared long enough. The Huben soldiers who had been drilled by Jiang Yuanxi and Shao Sihu were still calm, and they remembered Shao Sihu's instructions before throwing stones. Every catapult had to remember the angle at which it threw stones.

Immediately replied without hesitation: "Remember."

Shao Sihu instructed: "For the other catapults, remember the angles of those catapults."

Immediately, more than a dozen sergeants ran to see the angles of those catapults, and then quickly returned to their own catapults.

"Put stones in it." Shao Sihu ordered again.

"Boom"

"cast"

"bang bang bang"

This time, seventeen stones have been thrown into the city wall.

There were more screams on the city wall, and the guard's guards were so frightened that they said, "My lord, you can't stay here anymore."

A stone hit the archer next to them just now, and now their faces were pale with fright, looking at the twenty catapults with awe, these sergeants are still human, the hit rate is so high.

The remaining three catapults missed the city wall, and the catapults that hit the city felt that they had humiliated the Huben army, so they ran to the angle of the other catapults without Shao Sihu's orders.

The guard's face was even more ugly, he brushed away the guard's hand, at this moment the rhubarb crossbow was finally taken onto the city wall.

The guard had just received the rhubarb crossbow when he heard the sound of a drum beating.

Even though he was experienced in many battles, his heart was beating violently at this moment. He raised his head to look at the trajectory of the flying stone in the air, and was ready to hide from the stone at any time.

Dangerously dodging a stone that fell from the sky, the guard's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this time, this time, no more stones were thrown into the city.

The guard knew that he couldn't keep the ink on, and he wanted to fight back before the next round of throwing stones started.

He exerted all his strength, the veins on his forehead were exposed under the skin, he gritted his teeth, as if his teeth were about to be crushed, his hands were so tight that the veins on the back of his hands seemed to burst out.

"call out--"

The big arrow on the big yellow crossbow shot away quickly.

And this fast and sharp arrow is aimed at the person standing on the drum beating cart, wearing the general's armor, and beating the drum.
