Volume 5: Overlord of the Sea Chapter 574: Demolition
At Yangping Pass, Ma Chao, who controlled five flying spears, and Zhao Yun, who controlled seven snakes, fought as if there was no one around - even if there was "someone" who dared to approach, they would become "no one"!
Ma Chao was very agile. He was clearly just one person, but at first glance, it seemed as if there were several figures attacking Zhao Yun from all angles...
Sheng relied on high-speed movement to achieve the effect of seizing Ling Shao.
However, Zhao Yun's martial arts were mature and prudent, and he was not afraid of a multi-person fight. No matter how many tricks Ma Chao used, he still defended himself like a rock.
At first glance, when the two men fought, it seemed that Ma Chao had the advantage. However, after a hundred moves, it seemed that Zhao Yun's defense, as deep as the sea, was not at a disadvantage either. And within three hundred moves... it felt that Ma Chao was like a naughty child, while Zhao Yun was a patient adult.
Children may seem lively and active, but they can only use their fists and feet to attack adults because of the adults' tolerance...
As for Sun Ce, he had no constraints at this time. Pang De, a general of Jinyu, was unable to stop Sun Ce at all. Even if his personal guards did not cooperate and stop him, Sun Ce could kill him on the battlefield within twenty rounds!
At the same time, the "Heroic Soul", which was of little use in a duel and which Sun Ce was unwilling to use, could also play a huge role in the enemy army at this time.
To some extent, Sun Ce's Shenwei mode is also very suitable for group battles.
It’s just that Zhao Yun is good at defense and can fight his way in and out of the army, while Sun Ce is good at offense. The combination of heroic spirit and heroic appearance is equivalent to having twenty-eight more ordinary gold and jade guards, which greatly increases the speed of mowing down enemies!
Of course, no matter how happy he was at cutting, in the overall situation, it was more of a distraction...
What really made the Xiliang army uneasy at this moment was the iron carts slowly advancing below!
Han Sui and Ma Teng had also climbed up the wall themselves at this time, and were in charge of the defense at a place far away from the three "monsters".
However, in the absence of rocks, it is obviously unrealistic to stop the invulnerable iron car from approaching.
"Brother Ma , what do you think this iron chariot is used for?" Han Sui called him Brother Ma affectionately.
But in fact, both of them knew that they were just not in harmony with each other at the end of the day - their relationship was not as close as it is now, and they even attacked each other.
Ma Teng looked at the iron car and said, "It doesn't look like it can get up there after all..."
Indeed, the iron car cannot get up there.
After arriving at the foot of the city wall, more than ten iron carts stopped close to the city wall.
After about the same amount of time, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun both retreated from the city wall - as divine generals in their powerful state, although they could not defeat thousands of troops if there were no opponents of the same level to stop them, they could come and go as they pleased!
As for Zhao Yun...
Ma Chao did not try to stop him. After all, he felt that Zhao Yun was better than himself. Even if he tried to stop him, it would probably not be very effective. Moreover, if a fight really took place, his own divine power mode would surely end first.
No one had tried to fight the iron car alone before, precisely because there were two great generals there, and... there was suppressive firepower cover from behind!
After the two great generals retreated, more than a dozen iron carts began to retreat!
The Xiliang Army was a little confused, not knowing what they had done...
You wouldn't have come all the way here just to pee and vent your anger, right?
Pang De had sharp eyes. He looked down and saw the place where the iron cart had stopped. It seemed that... there were traces of chiseling on the city wall?
Although there is popular support for the protection, if the gilded general uses heavy weapons and insists on fighting against a brick or two, he will eventually be able to break through.
The protection of the people's hearts is not absolute, but it can weaken the attack for the most part. If the attack is extremely strong, it can still be effective.
But what’s the use of such a little “trace”?
Do we expect that by chiseling a little today and a little tomorrow, the entire junction will collapse sooner or later?
How many years would that take? A fool moving a mountain?
When Pang De was wondering, suddenly there was a loud noise !
The explosive light made Pound's eyes dizzy and the loud noise made his ears ring. At the same time... what confused him the most was that the city wall, which had not moved at all under the opponent's strange fire cannon, suddenly shook violently.
After a series of explosions, the wall of the city was blown out of shape. Although the people's hearts are stable, it is obviously not sustainable for long if its structure is about to collapse.
That’s right, the explosion just now was left by the iron cars!
After sticking to the city wall, under the cover of thick iron sheets, the gilded general with heavy weapons inside fiercely chiseled a gap in the wall, and then... stuffed a detonator in it.
Detonators are different from gunpowder. They use nitroglycerin as the explosive, which is the so-called high explosive. They are generally used for blasting fortifications and are sometimes also used for civilian mountain and mining operations.
For example, gunpowder in artillery uses the kinetic energy generated during the explosion to propel the shells, while nitroglycerin is a real explosion!
It is definitely much more useful than artillery shells to "demolish" city walls...
Use a metal cart to get closer, then chisel out a gap, plug in a delayed-detonation detonator, and then withdraw.
This wave of operations has had a direct and adverse impact on the overall architectural structure of Yangping Pass!
The instantaneous output of the detonator explosion has reached a level that cannot be completely offset even by the people's defense. Although it has not exhausted the power of the people, it has directly shaken Yangping Pass itself.
"Haha, aim at the gaps created by our comrades and bombard them!" At this time, Chen loudly commanded several artillery companies.
Just then Zhao Yun came flying back and Chen Dao was startled - Zhao Yun didn't like to swear.
But this time, no one criticized him in front of the battle, and Chen Dao continued to command the battle honestly...
In fact, there was no need for artillery shells to consolidate the victory, as Yangping Pass had already fallen back a little at this time.
Even if the people's defense is still there, what is the use of strengthening the defense if the entire wall collapses?
Even if there was no more attack, Yangping Pass was already a "dangerous building". Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately organized the defenders who had just fallen down. They first stabilized the morale of the army, and then after a brief disagreement, they finally decided to evacuate Yangping Pass.
After all, the city walls now have a clear inclination. If they really collapse and they haven't retreated yet, they will suffer heavy losses!
At least if I withdraw now, I can still comfort myself...
Yangping Pass is the western gate of Hanzhong. Now the entire Yangping Pass has been demolished. Hanzhong has suffered more losses. They cannot watch Hanzhong build a new pass here.
But if they knew about the battle situation in Badong, they might have a different conclusion - rebuild Yangping Pass? No need!
We just started with trenches and barbed wire, and when the cement was delivered and we added bunkers, we still blocked the area tightly!
