Chapter 1041 Strong crossbow? !
Li Chi walked in the canyon twenty miles away in Hedong County tremblingly, always feeling an ominous premonition faintly in his heart.

This time, he came here with Zhang Liao's army to attack Anyi, the governor of Hedong County.However, Han Hao, governor of Hedong County, has a good strategy of war, and Master Zhang Liao has Yanbei Cavalry under his command, so it is inconvenient to attack the city.Therefore, Li Chi was sent to lead [-] cavalry to attack Xieliang in a surprise attack, thus cutting off the grain road outside Anyi.In this way, the foreign aid will be cut off and the isolated city will be difficult to defend. Even if Han Hao has the ability to reach the sky, it will not be able to prevent the soldiers of Anyi from losing their morale.

At that time, Master Zhang Liao only needs to make a few clamors to contact the wealthy households living in Anyi for cooperation.It must be done in one fell swoop - Ma's siege has long had a means, and it has always focused on destroying the enemy's morale first, followed by decay from the inside, and finally the thunderous blow paid off.

However, this march, Li Chi felt a little strange.By the time he realized he was in danger, it was too late.

Raising his head suddenly, Li Chi noticed some unnatural lights shining on the mountains on both sides. Out of a soldier's intuition, he instinctively smelled an ominous smell.

"Stop marching, it's too narrow here, retreat quickly!"

Li Chi turned around and shouted loudly.There were about [-] Majia cavalry around him. This troop was now in a narrow valley, and the gray-white mountain walls on both sides slanted and squeezed towards the center, forcing them to line up in a long column.At this moment, Li Chi heard a call sign with a Hedong accent coming from above his head, and he raised his head subconsciously...

"not good!……"

Li Chi yelled, and in the next instant, thousands of crossbow arrows shot through the sky from the top of the valley, making a sharp scream.

The unprepared Ma Jiajun was stunned by the sudden wave of death. Many soldiers were shot into hedgehogs before they could remove the round shields tied to their backs. The minds of the neighbors; some cavalry were even nailed to the mountain wall with their men and horses, and their hands and feet were still twitching.There was a dull thumping sound in the valley, the terrible sound of an arrow piercing into flesh.

Before the victim recovered from the shock, the second burst of intensive shooting followed, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth... This crazy attack of crossbow arrows was like an avalanche, and the formation of the Ma family army was shocked. With the complete collapse of their bodies and the will to fight, hideous blood splashes splashed out.

Although the horse cavalry has the most loyal will and the best protection in this era, this sneak attack was too unexpected.The enemy ambushed at the height of the canyon, making it impossible for the Ma's army to resist.Good armor cannot completely cover the whole body; a loyal will is useless at this time.

The horse cavalry seemed at a loss under the shower of arrows. They ran aimlessly and screamed like mad until they were pierced to the ground.Above the head, the rain of arrows from the ambush soldiers even blocked the sunlight on the top of the valley. As the density of the attacks increased, a faint layer of blood mist rose from the blood flowers at the bottom of the valley.

Li Chi knew that the situation was out of control now, so he could only bite the bullet and flee to Taniguchi with the soldiers—as long as he escaped smoothly and regrouped in the open, there was still hope!

Li Chi thought this way, and at the same time he tried his best to hold back the pain and act like this.Although he couldn't figure out why there was an ambush by the Hedong army at this time, he knew better that this was not the time to think about it - in the attack just now, he was shot with three arrows, but luckily none of them were fatally wounded.

"Whoosh, whoosh~!"

Another wave of arrow rain rose from the archers, this is already the fifth salvo!
Li Chi didn't dare to raise his head, he knew what it meant to raise his head at this time.Apart from being intimidated by the rain of arrows and losing resistance, there is no other effect at all.The only thing I can do now is to grit my teeth, urge the horse to run forward, and run again!

When the eighth volley ended, Ma's army had completely collapsed.The originally neat cavalry team turned into a mass of panic and panic, and the survivors just wanted to escape from this hell-like place as soon as possible.Although there are only more than 1000 crossbowmen in the Canyon Army, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows have been fired, and they continue like waves.

Compared with those soldiers, Li Chi, the chief general, was considered lucky. Although several crossbow bolts were firmly nailed to his back and left arm, thanks to the thick collar and armour of the Ma family, But the arrow didn't pierce the skin.With this advantage, he miraculously rushed out of Taniguchi in one breath, still in shock.In Li Chi's military career, he had never seen a crossbow shooting with such dense firepower and frequency.

However, at this time.

Whoosh! ~

A jet-black arrow flew viciously towards Li Chi's throat, and the sharp tip of the crossbow turned white under the sunlight, just like the face of a dying man.Li Chi felt his body being pushed away by a huge force, and a bodyguard who followed him desperately blocked the crossbow arrow for Li Chi, which hit the soldier's chest!

"Don't~!"

The last soldier was shot by the crossbow and fell down with a groan. The blood sprayed from the wound splashed Li Chi's face, and even his vision was blurred.

A strange sense of fear pierced through his chest, Li Chi felt no pain, but a cold numbness.It's not just that the guard has a close relationship with Li Chi, but also because the crossbow arrow shot on the chest of the guard turned out to be a steel nail arrow without arrow clusters!
Li Chi closed the soldier's eyes, and pulled out the crossbow arrow from his chest. The body of the arrow, which was originally white, suddenly turned bright red - it was the color of blood.At the same time, this blood-stained crossbow also brought an unbelievable message to Li Chi: This is definitely a crossbow that can only be shot by a U.S. military crossbow!
In other words, Yuan Shao's crossbow making technology has reached the level of the Ma family!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Chi saw his fleeing horse fell to the ground with a whine. Its two front hooves were simultaneously pierced with an iron four-horned horse nail. The horse armor can protect it from crossbow arrows. Attack, but can't avoid these little things.Unable to delay, Li Chi was forced to abandon his mount and flee on foot.

But after only two steps, Li Chi felt something was wrong again, and he glanced at the top of the canyon.Seeing that the shadowy soldiers had started to descend the mountain, he rolled his eyes, quickly took off his armor, and put it on a soldier who was about the same size as him. At the same time, he pressed himself under a dead horse...

"what!……"

"Uh!……"

A series of miserable cries came, and Li Chi knew that it was these Hedong soldiers who were inspecting the corpses.And make up for those corpses that haven't died yet.Occasionally, Li Chi's heart was pierced when he heard a pitiful cry with a familiar accent.But at this time, he couldn't make a sound...

Suddenly, Li Chi's right foot suddenly felt a sharp pain!Li Chi, who was about to twitch his foot and scream in shock, suddenly understood his situation—someone must have found his 'corpse' hidden under the horse's body. Make up with a knife to see if the person under the horse corpse is dead or not.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out from Li Chi's face, buried under the horse's corpse, he clenched his teeth, and let the soldier slowly pull out the sword blade from his right leg - this undoubtedly aggravated Li Chi's pain , making Li Chi have the urge to scream and turn over at any time!
"I've found it, I've found the leader of this team!" The Hedong Army shouted excitedly from a distance, and Li Chi felt the sharp blade in his right foot being pulled out quickly, ending his long torment—just, the pain still……

Li Chi didn't dare to lift the horse's corpse until the sound of footsteps left for an hour.Excessive bleeding made him feel cold and light-headed. He gritted his teeth and had only one belief in his heart: to run back to Master Zhang Liao's camp...

I don't know how long I have been in the mountains alone. When the sun was about to end, Li Chi vaguely saw a big banner with the word "Zhang" appearing in front of him, and there were countless people in white military uniforms. The soldiers of the Ma family surrounded him.Feeling relieved, Li Chi immediately fell to the ground.In his hand, he was tightly clutching a steel nail arrow without an arrow cluster...
