Chapter 1089 Cao Jun's Crossbow Arrow

The siege that Tai Shici remembers very clearly was on Xia Houyuan's full-force attack on the third day.

On that day, Xia Houyuan was no longer that swift general who traveled thousands of miles, but completely turned into a madman.With red eyes, he personally went to the battle to beat the drums to cheer.In anger, he would gallop his horse and lead the law enforcement team to the front line of the battlefield, coming and going like the wind, using iron and blood ruthless means to send all the soldiers under him to the meat grinder in Wending City.

After an hour passed, both parties had already suffered great casualties. There were countless corpses lying on the top and bottom of the city, and the whole Wending City was covered with blood and fire.But Xia Houyuan still had no intention of giving up. After the previous round of siege warriors retreated, he rotated a group of energetic reserve teams to continue the attack. Tai Shici's troops had reached their limit, and the soldiers relied entirely on survival. Instinct is fighting.

Although the strength of Ma Jiajun's will was strong, when the peak of his will passed, he experienced three days and three nights of sleepless torment.Instead, the body and will will collapse one after another. If this suffering has been sustained to the limit of psychology and physiology, it is conceivable that the end of the Ma family army in Wending City will come soon.

Some Ma Jiajun fell down while waving their spears in front of the enemy, and never got up again; head.The gate of Wending City has been breached by Cao Jun, and the will and life of Ma's army, as well as the fiery red flag, have almost been burned.

It seems that the fall of Wending City is irreversible.

Another row of arrows flew over, and dozens of Majiajun soldiers fell beside Tai Shici, howling.The crossbowmen on both sides immediately took a step forward and shot together in the direction of the flying arrows.These elite Majiajun crossbowmen are still fulfilling their final responsibilities. Because of their existence, Cao Jun has to pay a lot of casualties before he can rush to Wending City.

"General, hurry up and break through, this is the last chance!"

Li Chi, currently serving as the lieutenant general under Tai Shici, had blood on his face at this time, and he didn't know where his helmet had fallen off. He held a shield to block Cao Jun's arrows, and shouted back.Dozens of guards formed a human wall to block the battlements, preventing Cao Jun from coming over for the time being.

And Tai Shici used the double halberds to support his body. It can be said that at this time he is completely using his willpower to compete with his body.In the past three days, he led the Majia Qingqi back and forth no less than ten times without sleep, and was almost completely surrounded and killed by Xia Houyuan's tiger and leopard cavalry once.

He, who seemed to be unharmed, had already been injured internally by Xia Houyuan's spear attack.However, his pride did not allow him to let his soldiers see that the general was dying at such a critical moment.

When he heard Li Chi's words, Tai Shici's sudden thought was to reprimand Li Chi angrily and encourage the soldiers to stand up!And Tai Shici was indeed planning to do that, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw the arrows on Li Chi's shield that were different from the day before, and his words became: "Li Chi! You... Don't you think these arrows are very strange?"

Li Chi's gaze lost for a moment, his thoughts did not keep up with Tai Shici's rhythm at that time.Only when he really noticed that the arrow had penetrated deeply into the shield, he shouted in shock: "This, this is?!"

Get close to Taishi Ci's side and hide under the protection of Taishi Ci's personal guards.Li Chi only had half a minute to release his shock. He pulled out the arrow with great effort, and said in disbelief, "This is the arrow used on the Ma's bed crossbow!"

The crossbow is two feet and five inches long, with hard wood as the shaft and wild goose feathers as clusters.Such specifications are exactly the same as the crossbow arrows used by the Ma family's siege bed crossbow.Moreover, suddenly, the two also recalled at the same time that at some point, the enemy below the city was able to shoot at them above the city!

You know, Wending City is already equipped with a mountain-destroying crossbow with a range of two hundred.Although Wending City is not high, if the enemy wants to shoot their bows and arrows up, they still need a distance of 230 steps. Before, the two thought that the battle was fierce, and the enemy who broke through had shot crossbows and arrows, but now it seems , the enemy has already begun to use crossbows to suppress the advantage of defending the city of Wending, and cover them to successfully snatch the city of Wending!
Suddenly realizing such a huge military change, both Tai Shici and Li Chi's brains exploded with a 'boom'.Although Ma Chao has already mentioned that Ma's crossbows and war cavalry will soon not become the psychological reliance of Ma's army.But this change came so quickly, and it happened at the worst possible time, which made Tai Shici and Li Chi momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with it.

However, at this moment, Xun You bent over and ran over with his face covered in dust, holding Tai Shici's seal in his hand.He stuffed the commander-in-chief seal into Tai Shici's hands, and even risked his life to secretly help Tai Shici.

"General! It's time for us to prepare for street fighting!"

Xun You's stern cry immediately made Tai Shici regain his sanity and his due responsibilities as a commander. With Xun You's efforts, he took a hard look at the battlefield.Xun You, who has joined the army, has gathered about 6000 to [-] Ma's troops, formed an assault formation and began to spin towards the city.In the process of rotation, Ma Jiajun continued to join in.When this assault formation arrived at the entrance of the city tower, it had already accumulated nearly [-] people.Naturally, Cao Jun's attention gradually focused here.

Tai Shici obviously knew that Xun You had made a very correct decision for him intentionally when he was a little confused.Immediately, Tai Shici gave Xun You a grateful glance, and then exhausted his last ounce of strength, and roared loudly: "Break through and hide in the streets and alleys to fight! Ma's army is mighty, honor lies, and I will die without complaint!"

"Honor lies in death without complaint!" Ma Jiajun, who was fighting, still remembered the glory of being a soldier of Ma Jiajun at this most critical moment.When their Lord would need their lives, they didn't hesitate why!
Li Chi also reacted at that time, supported Tai Shici and wanted to retreat to the city to fight to the last moment.But Tai Shici handed the crossbow arrows to Xun You while he was taking a step forward, and said, "Mr. Xun, the myth that our Ma family soldiers are invincible in battle with crossbows and cavalry is coming to an end..."

Xun You took the arrow cluster and glanced at it lightly, then threw it aside and said: "Our Ma family army has never come to today by relying on these, and these crossbow arrows drawn from the waist have never been the key to the victory or defeat of the battle."

"Cutting the crossbow from the waist?" Xun You's term rescued Tai Shici and Li Chi from misunderstandings.

"That's right. Before I came, I recalled yesterday's blow that the general was besieged by Xia Houyuan. There were still only 3000 tiger and leopard cavalry, but it was easier than before to trap the general, which led to Xia Houyuan's powerful blow. Coupled with the recent change in the shooting range of Cao Jun's crossbow arrows, I know that Cao Jun's military strength is no less than our army."

It was impossible to say that Xun You's tone was not serious.But amidst this heaviness, he still retained his sharp judgment on the battlefield: "However, until now, Cao Jun has sacrificed such a magic weapon in Wending City. At least it can be judged that, first, Cao Jun's attack on Wending City The ambition is to win; the second is that the equipment of the Cao army is far less than that of our Ma's army. The third is the most terrifying point..."

"What is it?"

"The person who really presides over such a crazy and reckless attack is not Xia Houyuan who is beating the drum. What he did is more like a vote in front of one person!"

"Mr. Xun said?..." Tai Shici suddenly realized that Xia Houyuan's behavior in the past three days was indeed a little abnormal.Xia Houyuan, who was eager to break the city, did not personally participate in a siege—this kind of performance did not match his pride of never bowing his head.

The only possibility is that the person behind him strictly forbids him to fight in person.And there is only one person who can make Xia Houyuan obey his words!
"If my guess is correct, the person sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army opposite should be the head of the Cao family, Cao Cao!"
