Chapter 178 Piercing the Clouds with an Arrow, General Cao is a mighty God! 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

In an established regular army.

Archers belong to a relatively advanced unit.

First of all, the physical fitness is better than that of ordinary infantry, otherwise it is impossible to pull the bowstring and throw arrows on the battlefield with high frequency.

In addition, archers need to master certain related skills. Before becoming a qualified archer and entering the official battlefield, they need to go through a lot of training.

So archers are more expensive.

Therefore, wild ways like the Yellow Turban Bandit in Qingzhou.

In the eyes of everyone, it should not have a large number of archers, but the fact is just the opposite.

The offensive and defensive sides stalemate with each other for a while.

The situation gradually changed.

Standing on the high tower, Cao Ang can clearly find one thing, that is, the output frequency of his own archers has become lower.

Many people even made movements of kneading their arms or shaking their hands. Obviously, their arms were exhausted and their muscles twitched.

Even if the shooting is divided into multiple segments, there is a little room for breathing and rest, but under such a high-intensity output, it can't last.

And once the high pressure cannot be maintained.

Naturally, it can't hinder the attacker's footsteps.

After the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou paid a lot of lives and even covered several floors of the moat under the pontoon bridge, the vanguard finally crossed the river bank.

A figure like a locust.

It rushed towards the city in a black and white manner.

Carrying the ladder, carrying the bumper, he ran like crazy, just to get close to the city wall as quickly as possible.

And most notably.

It was after the vanguard troops crossed the river.

A large number of archers suddenly appeared in the rear, and they also crossed the river, and arranged them left and right according to the formation.

Previously on the other side of the moat, the shooting range was not enough, so they could only be beaten with a dull head.

Now in range.

Naturally, he backhanded and put pressure on the city.

Although they didn't look like elite archers, the arrows pierced through the air with a whoosh sound, and they were quite threatening when pierced on the top of the city.

At the very least, the defenders in the city can no longer export unscrupulously, and must hide behind the crenels.

As such.

It even accelerated the advance speed of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound.

There appeared the first ladder on top of the wall.

……

"Archers back down, long soldiers go up!"

Following Cao Chun's order.

The orderly spread his orders to the left and right.

Soon, the archers who were originally standing in the front row stopped their work and retreated to the back row.

On the contrary, the spearmen who have been staying behind, waiting for the battle, and ready to attack, pushed to the front without saying a word, ready to fight the enemy who was about to climb up.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The rhythm of the drums on the top of the city suddenly changed.

Compared with before, it became more dense and intense, like a torrential rain, beating on everyone's hearts non-stop.

There are many soldiers who just hold a share of food, eat a share of military pay, and work hard.

at this very moment.

But he couldn't help but be full of enthusiasm.

It seems that this is no longer a job to earn a living, but a career that can throw their heads and blood for it, and it is worth their lives.

for a while.

The morale of the defenders on the entire city was high.

The rainbow-like fighting spirit made them forge ahead with all their strength, and engaged in a frenzied confrontation with the enemy troops who were building ladders to climb upwards.

"One, two, three, push!"

With a shout.

Several soldiers mustered all their strength, exerted force towards a ladder, and pushed it out suddenly.

"boom!"

After a few seconds.

The overturned ladder fell to the ground with a dull bang, and the yellow turban bandit who climbed halfway was directly crushed and seriously injured.

……

Then he was submerged in the crowd again.

And in addition to pushing with manpower.

The more useful way is to hit it with a car. The car made of solid wood is pushed hard from the general, and hits heavily on the ladder.

The ladder can be knocked over in an instant.

The battle enters this stage.

Shuangfang is already a real knife and a gun. They are fighting with their lives, and some people stop breathing every second.

Although the defending side has the convenience of the city, it is extremely difficult to defend because the number of the enemy is several times that of the defenders.

A ladder is built up.

Many of them have hooks on the top. Once hooked to the crenel of the city wall, if the hook is not torn apart in the shortest possible time, if the ladder is overturned, those people will not be able to push it half way up.

On the north wall, counting from east to west, an unknown number of ladders have been erected. Sometimes a team has to take care of several meters of the city wall at the same time.

Just can't keep up.

Even if there is time, the strength will be consumed quickly.

So it didn't take too long at this stage. The first batch of Yellow Turban soldiers who climbed the ladder had already approached the top of the city, and they were waving their weapons at this moment, trying to disperse the defense of the defenders.

"Pfft!"

There was a clear sound of entering flesh.

and accompanying it.

It was a bandit soldier who was pierced directly through the face by a spear, and a huge blood hole suddenly appeared, and then fell powerlessly.

He fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of blood.

…………

Saw the war heat up.

Cao Chun was absolutely unambiguous.

Immediately ordered to use the defense equipment in the city.

Although the army had arrived in Linqiu County a few days earlier, the efforts of these days were not enough for them to make too much preparation.

Therefore, there are not many defensive objects hoarded in the city.

Use a little less.

And this thing is not so good to add.

Therefore, in the previous battles, Cao Chun kept silent, because he didn't want to waste it for no reason.

Up to now, most of the enemy troops have already climbed more than half way, and at the same time, the pressure faced by their own troops is already somewhat overloaded.

He will know.

The time has come.

And under Cao Chun's order.

A large number of rolling logs and rocks were carried and pushed down by the soldiers, often sweeping one by one, or hitting several surrounding ladders.

"Ah...boom!"

With the sound of screams one after another.

I don't know how many bandit soldiers who attacked the city were smashed down by these large and heavy objects, flying from the air and falling to the ground, as if they were making dumplings.

And after the log etc.

It is hot oil and golden juice with the strongest lethality and extremely terrifying effects.

Burnt hot paste.

Pour it down, not only will it strike a wide area, but once it touches the skin.

That is the sound of "stab".

There is a feeling of frying the flesh on an iron plate, not to mention this kind of paste, which cannot be shaken off after being touched, and after the skin is scalded, it will enter the body along with it.

Once it gets too much.

That's basically a dead end.

As such.

The momentum of siege has also slowed down.

And the generals who were in the middle of the yellow turban bandits and watched from a distance from the rear saw this situation.

Qu Shuai Zhang Rao couldn't help frowning.

Then he shouted to the left and right: "Speak to the front, and say that the first to reach the top of the city will be rewarded ten times the grain, and the loot after entering the city will be the first choice!"

Many soldiers in charge of order.

They all shouted forward.

And after hearing such a reward.

The soldiers who were struggling to climb the ladder were even more red-eyed now, as if they were desperate to climb up even if they were facing these terrifying things.

The first climber will be rewarded ten times the food!

What is the concept?
It is enough to ensure that they will not be short of food for a long time to come.

If you don't risk your life at this time, when will you wait?
for a while.

Because of the use of the killer just now, the good situation created seemed to be brought back by the opponent.

……

Li Gou is an ordinary soldier.

A native of Yuanju County, Jiyin County, his family has been farming for generations.

It's just that in his parents' generation, the world was in chaos, and many accidents happened year after year.

As a result, the whole family can only be reduced to farming for the rich men in the county, renting some of their fields, and most of the grain is used as land rent every year.

And because the harvest has not been good in recent years.

Landlords did not reduce the rent by one penny.

As a result, the more you plant, the more you will lose. Even for a young man like Li Gou, staying at home is not only useless, but also has an extra ration.

So when the conscription order came.

He joined the army without hesitation.

Not to mention the military pay for joining the army, but also to solve his food problem, which can solve a lot of burden for the family.

And at this moment on the top of the city.

Li Gou held the spear tightly with both hands, his face was a little pale, and he was bending over and panting violently.

He's a little out of breath.

But before he could catch his breath.

There was a roar from the side.

"Gouzi, why are you still standing there, come on!"

Familiar voice.

This is the corporal who leads himself.

Li Gou didn't make any excuses either.

At this moment, everyone was fighting to the death, and it was good for him to be able to catch a few breaths in the back.

Wiping the sweat dripping from his eyelids with his frayed cuffs, he rushed forward again.

He just raised his spear and pierced it under the city head.

On the one hand, he was still muttering: "I am a dog, I am a dog, the elders said, this name is well chosen, even the one who is called a dog will not die!"

"Killing one is enough money. The more you kill, the better the reward. If you have food and money, you can buy land with the money back, and you don't have to pay land rent to Mr. Zhang!"

The thoughts in his mouth never stopped.

But the movements in his hands are also mechanized, frantically fighting with the soldiers on the ladder.

Ordinary soldiers like Li Gou.

It's just a microcosm of the entire battlefield.

On the side defending the city, thousands of individuals like him have formed a solid barrier that is still not retreating half a step at this moment, relying on the weak force to block the enemy from outside the city!
……

Dian Wei is like a fish in water on this battlefield.

The pair of short halberds in his hands kept waving.

Although the attack distance is not enough, but the force is heavy, no matter what the size of the bandit soldiers, as long as they are touched by him, they will fall directly.

Some brains were even split in half.

"Eat me with a halberd!"

Following Dian Wei's roar.

He pinpointed the weak point of a ladder, and chopped straight up with the weapon in his hand.

The original tough and strong ladder.

Under his terrifying and strange power, it was as crisp as a pancake, with a crisp "click" sound, and then it split from the upper port.

Even a string of bandit soldiers hanging on the ladder fell down together.

See this situation.

Dian Wei immediately looked up to the sky and screamed.

Let out a terrible laugh.

Combined with his blood stains all over his body, his hideous and terrifying face, and his figure like a copper mountain and iron tower, it really is a ghost and a god descending from the world, and an evil star descending to earth!
So much so that the city wall where Dian Wei was located.

The soldiers on the ladders didn't even dare to climb, they were really terrified by Dian Wei.

It's just the power of one person, after all, it's too small.

Even a fierce god like Dian Wei.

Putting it on the entire battlefield would not have much effect. As time went by, a large number of bandit soldiers eventually flooded up.

Seeing that it won't be long.

There will be first comers.

……

"Shuai Qu, our soldiers are about to enter the city, and the last general requests to fight!"

Request to fight at this time.

Just looking at it to get some credit.

Zhang Rao didn't mind either.

Climbing to the top of the city does not mean that you can win the top of the city, it still needs hard work.

After the soldiers boarded the city, they really needed to be led by generals in order to play a greater role.

After he nodded slightly.

He took off his helmet wrapped in a yellow scarf, handed it to the general, and then solemnly ordered.

"Put on the helmet and tell the soldiers that this commander will fight the enemy bravely with them!"

Zhang Rao is definitely not willing to take risks.

But I want to use this helmet to boost the morale of the army again.

So simply set up such an operation.

As for the safety of this general.

Zhang Rao was quite relieved.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, these generals have some skills, and all of them are terribly smart. As long as they find something wrong, they will quickly withdraw.

What's more, after a while, a large number of soldiers from our own side will climb to the top of the city. The more people there are, and the generals will be mixed in, the safer it will be.

……

Successfully obtained the general order.

The general put his helmet on his head, rode his horse, and approached the field.

Soon came to the bank of the moat.

Just out of caution.

This person did not blindly ride across the moat. He was worried that if there was a cold arrow on the top of the city, he would enter the enemy's range and be injured.

It's just that he doesn't know it.

His every move right now.

Everything fell into the eyes of Cao Ang, who stood at the highest point of the city tower.

Watching the yellow turban general turn his horse to a standstill.

It seems that they are going to shout to the soldiers in front of them on the spot.

Cao Ang's eyes lit up immediately.

I just feel like a godsend!

Since the beginning of this battle, Cao Ang has actually been participating in it. From time to time, he would use the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot some key figures.

It's just that.

He wanted to rely on his god-like archery skills to kill the enemy's commander.

But those people are too far away.

Cowardly shrank back.

No matter how advanced his skills are, it is impossible for him to break the rules of physics, so he can only watch.

But things are different now!

There is actually a high-ranking general who dares to enter his range without knowing life or death.

Such a big piece of fat fell in front of him.

Wouldn't it be against God's will if you didn't clip it up?

Cao Ang immediately drew his bow and set an arrow.

The action quickly aimed at the target.

It's just a few breaths before and after.

Cao Ang let go of his right hand.

At the same time, he switched to the second arrow without stopping, moved the crosshair slightly downwards, and shot out again.

"Whizzing!"

Two arrows followed one after the other.

Under the blessing of the three-stone strong bow, the two arrows exploded at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, the wind and clouds have been pierced.

……

on the battlefield.

The general of the Yellow Turban Army held the helmet in his hands and raised it high above his head with both hands.

Then he took a sharp breath.

He was about to raise his voice and shout to everyone.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind was heard.

Howling like a neighing.

When his eyes locked.

But some shocking discoveries.

An arrow was heading towards his forehead.

Before the general could make any response, he didn't even have time to give birth to a heart of despair and fear.

"Pfft!"

The arrow had passed through his forehead.

Suddenly, there was a cloud of blood.

And after a moment of effort.

Another arrow stuck in the head of his horse.

Originally noisy, full of voices on the battlefield.

Suddenly there was the wailing of a war horse, which overwhelmed all other noisy sounds for a while.

It also attracted the attention of both the offensive and defensive sides.

……

All who see clearly.

They were all dumbfounded at the moment.

Zhang Rao touched his forehead, only to feel afraid after a while, if he was the one who walked forward just now.

Then I am afraid that he is the one lying on the ground now.

There are really tall people in this city!
Accuracy and strength are indispensable for being able to pierce the head with an arrow from such a long distance. What kind of archer should be to be able to have this level?

For a moment, Zhang Rao felt terrified in his heart.

And at the same time.

Cao Chun and other senior generals.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Standing on a high tower, shooting an arrow can instantly kill the enemies on the other side of the moat.

What a hundred steps to wear Yang?
look ahead.

Turning his head to look at Cao Ang on the tower.

"hiss!"

Suddenly there was a gasp.

General Cao... is really a god!

……

"call!"

Cao Ang gave an order.

The soldiers around him immediately cheered and jumped up one by one, clapping their hands and shouting.

"The leader of the thief army is dead, General Cao is mighty!"

In fact, the soldiers defending the city didn't know if it was the main general who was shot to death, and many of them didn't even see this scene.

But everyone on the top of the city shouted that.

You can't go wrong!
They just yelled.

So the next second.

The entire city was cheering one after another, and everyone waved their weapons while shouting angrily.

"The leader of the thief army is dead, General Cao is mighty!"

Shouting loudly.

Resound and stop the cloud!

The morale of the defending side was like a rainbow. The will to retreat a little due to the approach of the enemy army rose again against the trend.

On the other hand, look at the siege side.

Many people couldn't help but look back, wanting to see if their coach was really dead?
Even if they are fighting for food.

But if the immediate boss is shot to death by an arrow, then these soldiers who are mostly refugees.

There is also fear and bewilderment.

Under this look.

Then there is a big problem!

……

As the commander of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Not many people in the army have seen Zhang Rao's face.

What's more, the distance is so far, how can I see the face clearly, I only know that it is a man with a horse under his seat.

The most important point is to hold the golden helmet in hand.

Absolutely did not run this time!
Sure enough, his coach died.

for a while.

The military is distraught.

But in the blink of an eye, he has changed from climbing bravely to stagnating.

Standing under the tower, the soldiers who hadn't had time to climb the ladder even stayed there hesitantly and dazedly, not knowing what to do next.

One side's morale soared.

The other party was depressed.

Under this situation.

The situation on the battlefield was pulled back instantly.

With the power of one person, Cao Ang evened the situation again!
……

Zhang Rao is about to die of anger now.

He really wanted to give himself two mouths.

Just rely on the advantage of numbers and continue to match. If you play any tricks, you have to hand over the helmet to that short-lived ghost, which is a bad thing.

It stands to reason, as a real coach.

He should be riding forward now.

Prove to everyone that he is alive.

But he dare not!
There are obviously sharp archers in the city. Zhang Rao felt terrified when he saw the two arrows that took his life.

He has no doubts.

If you dare to enter the range.

Then he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being killed by a single arrow. Zhang Rao didn't think that his forehead was a bit tougher than that of the previous general.

So the situation is stuck here.

Unable to clarify rumors that the coach is dead.

If you continue to fight in this state, your morale will be lower and lower.

Once wait until the complete breakdown.

That would be a catastrophic defeat like a flood!

This is definitely unacceptable to Zhang Rao.

Rather than stalemate here.

It is better to withdraw the soldiers at this moment.

He showed his face in front of the soldiers, clarified the rumors, and cleared away the smog.

Wait until the morale is gathered, and then launch an attack again, and the city will not be able to defend.

Anyway, the arrows and defense equipment of the defenders in the city are almost consumed.

After thinking for a moment.

Zhang Rao raised his hand to give an order.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops, suspends the siege!"

With the call to retreat sounded.

The soldiers who were attacking the city seemed to have found the backbone, and each of them seemed to have received amnesty.

The footsteps ran towards the rear quickly.

The first offensive of the Yellow Turban Bandits in Qingzhou.

Solve it!
