Only then did Cai Hao suddenly realize that the attack range of this artillery was not at all what it had been shown in the past two days!
A feeling of being played appeared in his heart, but it only made him a little angry.
The gunfire continued, seemingly without end.
Cai Hao issued the order immediately, and the rhythm of the advance on both sides remained unchanged, and the army quickly retreated back.
With this retreat, they retreated a full distance of half a mile.
This time it was really beyond the range of the cannon.
At its limit, the attack range of this standard artillery is only about one kilometer.
Although it seems that the distance of half a mile has no effect, it is not the case.
Just as the soldiers under Cai Mao arrived at the designated position, they looked at Cai Mao at Guangcheng Pass with a focused look in his eyes.
The city gate of Guangcheng Pass was opened so casually.
Immediately afterwards, no less than the shouts of killing from the attacking party rang out inside and outside Guangcheng Pass!
Lu Bu took Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and rushed out of Guangcheng Pass at the lead!
Lu Bu among men, Red Rabbit among horses!
The soldiers on the attacking side were stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Lu Bu and the city gate!
Lu Bu had a solemn expression on his face, with two sword-shaped eyebrows reaching straight into his temples, a pair of tiger eyes that were calm and intimidating, and two sky-high feathers on his head flying up and down as his body swayed.
The red rabbit horse under him was as powerful as thunder, and his breath was full of fanaticism.
Red Rabbit, Red refers to its color, and Rabbit refers to its speed.
Red Rabbit is the unique Xiliang sweat-blooded horse!
The original meaning of "sweeping thousands of armies" is to sweep away a large number of enemy troops like sweeping the floor. This idiom first came from Du Fu's "Drunken Song Xing".
The origin of the word is that the water of the Three Gorges flows backward, and the pen array sweeps away an army of thousands of people alone.
However, when Lin Zhuang on the city wall saw the scene of Lu Bu fighting, he suddenly realized the true meaning of this idiom.
Fang Tian's painted halberd flashed with cold light, and the weight of the weapon, which weighed nearly thirty kilograms, was like a toy in Lu Bu's hands.
However, the harsh sound of breaking wind and the huge lethality are not what toys can achieve!
If the Qinglong Yanyue Sword's attack method is to cut, the Zhangba Snake Spear is to chop, and the Bright Silver Spear is to stab, then Fang Tian's Painted Halberd is currently in Lu Bu's hands, using the simplest attack method - swinging!
The so-called one force can defeat ten groups is nothing more than that.
With Lu Bu as the center, a clearing was cleared in an instant. The soldiers attacking the city seemed to be made of paper, which would break when touched, and anyone who touched it would fly away!
Under the command of Lu Bu, the soldiers under his command instantly wiped out the siege soldiers who were unable to react. At this time, the gunfire on the tower had stopped, seeming to be cooperating with Lu Bu's assault on the enemy.
Obviously, the soldiers who were attacking the city could not imagine that the defenders in the pass would actually dare to make a surprise attack!
Lu Bu and the soldiers under his command have extremely strict military discipline. The most intuitive reaction is that the soldiers who come out to raid will never go more than 100 meters away from the city wall.
At this time, the city gate of Guangcheng Pass slowly closed again.
Within the 100 meters in front of the gate, only about 10,000 people could stand at most. Any more would be crowded. However, only 10,000 soldiers led by Lu Bu left the city gate.
The choice once again fell into Cai Mao's hands.
Either the whole army attacks together and takes the risk of being bombarded by artillery to completely annihilate Lu Bu's lone army, or they continue to transport the siege soldiers from the long corridors on both sides. However, this is bound to become a fueling tactic that will only bring a drop in the bucket.
In fact, after Cai Mao ordered the army to withdraw half a mile, the Chinese army had already lost the ability to respond in time to the siege soldiers.
It can be said to be a dilemma!
The pressing enemy troops suddenly withdrew.
Cai Mao looked at the domineering figure under the city with some solemnity, feeling a little irritable.
Lu Bu seemed to be doing it on purpose. After leading his soldiers to clear out the enemy's strength below the city, Lu Bu actually began to lead these 10,000 soldiers across the 100-meter line and walked into the fire coverage of the cannon!
This was a naked provocation. Cai Hao seemed to be able to see the arrogant expression on Lu Bu's face, with a little disdain. He looked at himself coldly among the thousands of troops, as if to say, come here!
Ten thousand people walked forward unhurriedly and arrived at the location of Cai Mao's pioneer line.
Seven hundred meters.
Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand, made a few strokes from left to right, and then drew an invisible line.
The meaning is clear.
This is as far as you can go.
"Send the order, the cavalry rushes into battle and kill Lu Bu's ten thousand men at all costs!" Cai Hao said through gritted teeth.
"Here!"
When the soldiers under his command saw Lu Bu acting like this, they were already filled with anger and ready to go. When they heard the general's order, they couldn't wait to rush towards Lu Bu!
The people Lu Bu brought out were all infantry. They were confident that they would intercept and kill the enemy before they returned to Guangcheng Pass!
Ordinary infantry faced off against a cavalry army that was well-organized and several times larger than one's own. It seemed that the outcome was clear at a glance.
The distance of half a mile between the two sides passed in an instant, but the cannons on the city wall did not sound again.
There was a sneer on Cai Mao's face.
Don't overestimate your capabilities. Even if you, Lu Bu, have great fighting power, what kind of trouble can you make with 10,000 infantry against my 30,000 cavalry?
You know, these 30,000 cavalry troops used everything under Cai Mao's command!
In fact, Lu Bu had no intention of retreating at all. He just looked at the roaring cavalry and said four words: "Form up! Meet the enemy!"
The sound resounded throughout the battlefield and was impactful!
"drink!"
Ten thousand people neatly raised their weapons and faced the enemies without any fear on their faces!
Chug tug tug tug!
Suddenly, intensive gunshots rang out on the battlefield, causing huge damage to the cavalry front lines!
Horses and cavalry kept falling to the ground, and people fell on their backs!
With just one salvo, thousands of enemy troops lost their combat effectiveness and died miserably on the way to the charge.
However, with the speed of both parties, they could only support the rifle fire once. Most of the cavalry still roared and rushed towards Lu Bu!
The battlefield seemed to be suddenly quiet for a moment, and then the cavalry instantly collided with the infantry!
The advantage of the cavalry was fully demonstrated at this time. Just in the moment of contact between the two sides, thousands of infantry were instantly killed by the impact of the horses!
There is only one person.
Lu Bu!
He stood in the middle of the enemy, constantly clearing away the enemy troops whizzing by around him, like a rock constantly being washed by the waves!
However, no matter how many people there are, they can't drown his figure at all!
When the war horse lost its initial impact, the two sides began to engage in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
Two infantry for one cavalry is the limit!
If this situation is followed, then all these 10,000 infantry soldiers will be wiped out by the opponent in less than half an hour!
Bang bang bang bang!
Cai Hao, who was looking at this place from a distance, was suddenly startled. The sound was not like the sound of gunfire or artillery. The sound of gunfire was not so loud, and the sound of artillery was not so muffled.
He raised his eyes and saw a cloud of green smoke suddenly rising from the city wall.
What is this?
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed that only a moment had passed. A violent explosion suddenly sounded in the formation of Cai Mao's army!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The green smoke on the city wall rose one after another, and flowers bloomed everywhere in Cai Mao's formation!
"Shelling!" a soldier shouted.
"Don't panic, retreat!" Cai Mao shouted loudly, but his mood sank to the bottom.
Why can enemy artillery bombard such a long distance? What does the green smoke mean?
During the three-day siege, Cai Mao placed 120,000 people outside Guangcheng Pass, figured out the attack range of the artillery, and consumed all the artillery shells on the city.
At least that's what he thinks.
Of the 80,000 people left, all 30,000 cavalry were sent to encircle Lu Bu. Now there were only 50,000 infantry left in his formation.
Now he was very puzzled. If the enemy general's artillery could attack such a distance, why didn't he use it at the beginning, and why did Lu Bu let Lu Bu go out of the city to fight?
"Cai Mao must not understand why I didn't do this at the beginning, because I never thought about letting his 300,000 troops go back alive, at least, not him."
Lin Biao fanned the acrid green smoke around him and spoke calmly.
"Lord, what is this?" Huo Zhi looked at the row of strange weapons on the city wall and asked in confusion.
These weapons are long barrel-shaped, with a triangular base, and the top of the barrel tilts toward the sky. Both in stature and size, they are far different from heavy artillery carts.
Soldiers kept putting fat fish-like things into it, and then shot it into the sky with a bang, and then fell into Cai Mao's formation a few seconds later.
The power is even greater than that of the artillery in Huo Zhi's hands!
Violent explosions continued to sound from a distance, and each explosion could take away dozens of lives!
"This is called a mortar, you don't understand." Lin Biao didn't explain much.
Huo Zhi glanced at Lin Biao pitifully, as if he was complaining about why Lin Biao didn't take out this weapon earlier, and didn't even let him know.
"There aren't many cannonballs. With your fiery temper, you'll shoot them all before they come up." Lin Biao said angrily.
"Lord, how far can this thing hit?" Huo Zhi asked doubtfully as he looked at the mortars being fired continuously.
"If you include the help of wind direction and speed, it will be ten miles away." Lin Biao said.
"What?!"
Huo Zhi looked at the enemy troops that had already lost ground in the distance, and couldn't help but feel pity for the guy named Cai Mao.
Mortar fire continued for a quarter of an hour.
Cai Hao's heart was completely cold.
Both as an adjective and in a physical sense.
A cannonball landed right next to him.
This hero was instantly strangled by the flying shrapnel. He didn't even have time to say a word. He and his horse died on the spot.
Cai Mao is dead, but the war can still be fought.
For example, the remaining infantry charged in groups and joined the battle group surrounding Lu Bu.
In this case, Lin Biao will definitely take action against rats.
Of course not necessarily.
