The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 156 The attack begins

Zhong Jin did not follow the order, but said in a difficult way: "General, I see that the enemy's walls are high and deep, and most of our troops are cavalry. .”

Xiahoudun led an army of [-] troops to attack Shouchun City as the vanguard. Xiahoudun himself directly commanded [-] soldiers, and the rest were led by generals. Zhong Jin led the cavalry. Composed of cavalry, maybe field battles are no problem, but it is still a bit difficult to attack the city.

Xiahoudun slightly praised: "General Zhong, your army is my son of heaven. You have been all over the Central Plains. Are you afraid of the defeat of Youzhou?"

Zhong Jin also humbled himself at this time and said: "General Xiahou has won the award. If I say bravery, how can I compare with the general. The general once ran across the Central Plains, killed the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, defeated Xuzhou, beheaded Liu Pi, and guarded the five gates. , is famous."

Zhong Jin is not an idiot. Although Zhong Jin is Xiahou Dun's general, he doesn't want to waste the lives of his brothers in vain.

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he couldn't help being furious, and said sharply: "I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If I go to battle in person, who will be in command? General Zhong, if you push back and forth like this, you are trying to disobey orders."

In a fit of rage, Xiahou Dun's eyes widened angrily, his two fingers holding the gun creaked faintly, and his murderous aura shot out.Zhong Jin was overwhelmed by Xiahou Dun's awe and awe, and his whole body was shocked.Xiahou Dun has always been known for his brutality, and he has always made an example of generals who dared to disobey his orders. Thinking about these, Zhong Jin trembled a little.In desperation, Zhong Jin had no choice but to pull his horse and take off his battle ax sullenly to push forward his army.

Then, three thousand cavalry slowly marched out and began to advance towards the front of the city.

Seeing that Zhong Jin had to carry out his order, a sly smile crossed the corner of Xiahou Dun's mouth, and he shouted loudly: "Beat the drum quickly, and cheer for General Zhong." Under the order, the rumble of war drums soared into the sky, The tens of thousands of Cao Jun who swept the formation shouted and cheered in unison.

Amid the deafening shouts of killing, three thousand cavalry rushed out like a flood, rushing across the plains and rushing towards the city.

Guan Jing on the top of the city tightly held the long knife in his hand. This was the first time he saw such a large-scale cavalry charge.

He could even feel the ground shaking faintly under his feet. The sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, the sound of enemies shouting for killing, and the chaotic sound of war drums all shook his eardrums.

Guan Jing clenched the long knife tightly this time, and secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, you bastards, let me, Guan Jing, see how capable you are!"

Amid the deafening shouts of killing, the leading enemy has approached within [-] paces.

Guan Jing pointed at the long sword and shouted: "Archers, get ready!" The command was issued, the flag was waved, and the first group of three hundred archers gathered on the top of the city quickly raised their longbows high. They are all sharp arrows.

"Let go." With an order, three hundred sharp arrows shot through the air, drew arcs, and fell towards the enemies who were rushing to kill them.

Unsurprisingly, most of the falling long arrows missed, and only a few of them could hit the enemy.

However, these elite cavalry units were able to dodge the incoming arrows sharply. After this round of arrow attacks, only less than a dozen cavalry hit the arrows.

After a round of crossbow arrows, the cavalry led by Zhong Jin was less than a hundred steps away from the city, while the soldiers with two horses were still hanging long ladders behind the horses.Guan Jing shouted sharply: "Let me go." The first batch of archers, about 400 people, flew into the sky again.

Four hundred feathered arrows soared into the sky again, roaring towards the enemy with the sound of thousands of birds flapping their wings.

Arrows rained down, and dozens of cavalry were shot to the ground on the spot, but they still couldn't stop Cao's cavalry from advancing.

Without a large number of strong bows and crossbows, it really couldn't stop the impact of the enemy cavalry.Guan Jing secretly groaned in his heart, but there was no trace of panic on his face, and he shouted loudly: "Prepare the sawtooth sky bow for me, and the spear shield is ready to meet the enemy."

Amidst the thunderous roar, suddenly long jagged arrows shot out from the longbow, and those short long arrows knocked down several enemy soldiers to the ground in an instant. Blood spurted out directly.

In a short time, three thousand cavalry had rushed to the bottom of the city. They dismounted one after another, and then boarded the ladder, ready to attack the top of the city.

At the same time, these cavalry who had not dismounted quickly opened their bows and fired arrows, and in a blink of an eye, more than a thousand sharp arrows came raining down.

The densely packed arrows were bounced off by the turning heads on the city wall with clanging clangs, and only a very small part penetrated the defense of the city wall. This round of bow shots was easily blocked.The follow-up enemy cavalry, facing the high city wall, began to launch a violent attack.

The enemy cavalry who had swept past the camp before quickly turned back and fired arrows back and forth at the top of the city, hoping to suppress the counterattack of the crossbowmen on the top of the city.
