Chapter 723 The sneak attack of Jiameng Pass(2/3)
"What the king said is absolutely true, so we will act according to the plan."
But Bai Huwen felt a little worried in his heart.
He vaguely felt that Cao Peng might not be so easy to deal with. According to Bai Huwen's understanding of Cao Peng, if this man used troops, he would definitely plan a chain, one link after another. Moreover, Cao Peng was the best at surprise attacks, how could he?
Perhaps he was unprepared? It would be difficult to attack Cao Jun in a sneak attack... But when he thought about the ferocity of the three thousand vine-armed soldiers in Zhi Wudai's hands, Bai Huwen felt a little more confident. Maybe he could succeed immediately?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was night, and it was raining heavily.
On the Bailong River, water mist fills the air.
It was almost midnight, and both sides of the Bailong River were silent.
In the mist and rain, from the west bank of the river, dense crowds of people came slowly. There were no boats, but those people were sitting cross-legged on the water. Wearing animal skin armor and bamboo hats, they looked like ghosts.
If someone is on the shore at this time, they will definitely feel chilly.
There were many ghosts, like a group of water ghosts emerging from the river, approaching silently.
After crossing the Bailong River, these people stood up on the shore. They picked up pieces of armor from under their bodies and quickly put them on. Then they held sharp bamboo spears and marched in formation. When the large group of people completely crossed the Bailong River, the drizzle stopped.
.
The leader of the ghost soldier is a steel sword.
He raised his knife and pointed in the direction of Baishui Pass. The ghost soldiers moved quickly, walking across the ground like ghosts, stepping on the muddy path, but they did not make any sound under their feet, which made people jump with fear.
Suddenly, there was a rapid bang.
From the dense forests on both sides, rows of rockets flew out, roaring towards them.
After the rocket hit the ghost soldier, the ghost soldier immediately burst into flames. Immediately afterwards, a loud voice came from the dense forest, "Don't let anyone go, kill without mercy!"
Groups of Cao's troops roared out.
However, everyone held a clay pot in their hands, and when they were still more than ten steps away from the ghost soldiers, they smashed it out. The kerosene in the clay pot instantly flowed all over the body. The rockets roared, and the ghost soldiers were
The rattan armor was originally afraid of fire, and with the addition of these clay pots, it could no longer be extinguished... The rattan armor soldiers turned into burning men one by one, and screamed miserably in the raging flames.
A group of cavalry came out of the forest.
Cao Peng sits astride a liger in the middle, with Dianman and Xu Yi on both sides.
"I knew a long time ago that these Southern Barbarians would repeat their old tricks, but I didn't know that they would not be able to use the same tactics a second time."
Dianman said in surprise: "Afu, how did you know these people are afraid of fire?"
"Second brother, have you forgotten?
My subordinates are not from Xichuan, so I asked around. Someone has heard of these barbarians, named Nanzhong Tengjia soldiers. Their armor is made from century-old wild vines soaked in tung oil. This kind of vine armor is invulnerable and will be invulnerable to enemies.
It does not sink in water and can bear a weight of 300 kilograms. The only drawback is that it is afraid of fire...
Just imagine, among the five elements, fire overcomes wood.
Even if the wild vine is a thousand years old, it is still a tree of five elements, so how can it not be afraid of the flames?"
In the distance, shouts of killing came from the direction of Baishui Pass.
It was vague and seemed extremely intense.
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Now, they are stealing the chicken but losing the rice... They wanted to make a sneak attack, but they were ambushed by us. Once the Tengjia soldiers left, Baishui Pass was no longer a concern. Presumably at this time, General Han Sheng and Zilong
General, you are having a great time killing."
Cao Peng heard this and laughed immediately.
After finding out the identity of the Tengjia soldiers, Cao Peng was no longer afraid.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he had a vivid memory of the scene where Zhuge Liang burned the vine-armored soldiers. The only thing he was worried about was that the vine-armored soldiers came and went without a trace, making it extremely difficult to catch the traces. Only by luring the snakes out of their holes and letting them come out on their own could they be eliminated in one fell swoop.
If this vine-armored soldier cannot be eliminated, it will eventually become a thorn in his side.
After much thought, Cao Peng used Huang Zhong as bait to attack Baishui Pass.
Guo Huai came up with a plan, "Since General Han Sheng attacks, Baishui Pass may be difficult to resist.
When the time comes, there's no telling that those barbarians will repeat their old trick and release the vine-armored soldiers. Why don't you, sir, use this trick and lure the vine-armored soldiers out of the cave? When the vine-armored soldiers come out, we can attack and kill them in one fell swoop, and then the troubles in our heart will be gone."
Cao Peng readily agreed.
He took Huang Zhong and Zhao Quyun as the vanguard and Guo Huai as the long history. He joined the military and marched to Baishui Pass.
Then he lay in ambush at the ferry closest to Baishui Pass, waiting for the vine armor soldiers to appear. Sure enough, after the Nanman succeeded once, he seemed to be addicted and actually attacked again. Cao Peng easily eliminated the vine armor soldiers. After dawn,
He supervised the army and marched to the gate of Baishui Pass.
The Vine Armor Soldier sounds very powerful.
What is invulnerable and unsinkable when exposed to water...
But in Cao Peng's opinion, it's useless. If you can't solve the shortcoming of being afraid of fire, it's nothing to worry about.
In comparison, Cao Peng paid more attention to the useless flying army in his hands.
Deng Tong stood at Baishui Pass, his face as pale as dirt.
There was a sneak attack last night, but the losses were heavy.
Among Cao's troops were Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Han De, Sun Shao, and others who participated in the battle. No matter which one of them, he was considered a strong general. He failed to steal the camp and was ambushed instead. Among the more than 20 generals led by Deng Tong, except for the five brothers Deng Hu
In addition to dying in battle, he came back from camp last night. When he took stock, he found that more than half of the damage was broken. And there was no news about Zhi without a watch, which meant that it was more likely to be bad. He stood at Baishui Pass, looking at the densely packed Cao army under the gate, and couldn't help but feel
Feeling cold all over the body.
And Bai Huwen also felt frightened.
Since Zhi Wudai has not returned yet, he must have failed...
The proud Tengjia soldiers were so easily defeated by Cao Peng! Bai Huwen didn't know why, but the scene of Liangzhou's defeat at the hands of Cao Peng came to mind again. Could it be that this Cao Peng is really my nemesis?
?
Bai Huwen secretly glanced at Deng Tong, feeling a hint of disdain in his heart.
Yesterday I was arrogant, but now I am as timid as a mouse.
How can such a person take on such a big responsibility?
If you didn't have a good old man, I might even be worse than a dog!
The two of them stood at the critical moment, with deep fears in their hearts and their own thoughts.
Suddenly, I heard the rumble of war drums in the camp of Cao's army below the city. The three-way war drums ended, and a young general rushed out of the formation on horseback.
Deng Tong knew the man on horseback.
His name is Zhang Hu, he has a superb spear, and his killing skills are brave.
Zhang Hu reined in his horse at the pass and pointed his gun at the top of the city. "The people of Baishui Pass are listening. I will give you one hour to surrender."
After an hour, as soon as the army moves, they will be killed without mercy."
The arrogance and arrogance made Deng Tong furious.
He opened his mouth to scold him, but Zhang Huli ignored him. After speaking, he turned his horse and left.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of activity in front of Cao's army. Strange-shaped ballistas were arranged neatly in front of the army's formation.
"what is that?"
"Big crossbow."
"Why does it look weird?"
"God knows, it's the first time I've seen it too."
Deng Tong and Bai Qi Huwen couldn't understand how Cao Jun had any idea, so they decided to stand still.
An hour passed quickly.
Just when Deng Tong and Bai Qi Huwen were extremely nervous, they suddenly heard the battle drums of Cao's army outside Baishui Pass rang again. Cao's army's formation was as majestic as Mount Tai, motionless. More than two hundred and eight oxen crossbows were fired at the same time, and each gun and spear roared and fired.
He came out and flew towards Baishui Pass. He was so frightened that Deng Tong and Bai Huwen hurriedly shrank their heads to avoid, but heard a scream. A Shu soldier was shot in half by a spear from the waist, and his upper body fell to the ground.
In a pool of blood, half of his body was still standing on the ground. The ground was dyed red with blood...
Peng, Peng, Peng!
Standing on the top of the city, you can clearly feel that the wall is shaking violently.
The large banner that was standing on the key was broken into two pieces by spears and fell to the ground.
The officers and soldiers of the Shu army did not dare to raise their heads at all. Under the female wall where they were, all of them looked pale and frightened.
After three rounds of ejection, the sound of war drums stopped in Cao's camp.
Deng Tong and Bai Huwen cautiously poked their heads out and looked at the city wall. They saw spears and spears sinking into the city wall, causing cracks in the city wall. If the wall of Baishuiguan had not been so thick, these rounds of bombardment would not have been possible.
Then the city wall collapsed. Deng Tong and Bai Huwen looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, another young man rushed out of the formation.
To be continued...
