The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85 085 million arrows fired at once
On the city wall of Zhuyi City, Xu Sheng and others were still throwing fire oil, and the archers who had already prepared continued to shoot outwards with rockets.

Immediately afterwards, huge fireballs flew out of the city, and the fireballs crossed the city wall and flew directly towards Yuan Jun's well.

"boom!"

The fireball hit the well fence, and there was a loud noise immediately, the fireball shattered, sparks splashed, and a lot of liquid flowed out from the inside, covering the well fence, and it burned quickly again after encountering the fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Fireballs hit the well fence one after another, and the ten huge well fences burned instantly. The archers standing on them were all terrified and walked down the stairs one after another.

"Kara!"

With a loud noise, the stairs on the well rail were directly broken by the archers, and many archers fell directly to the bottom, falling in pieces.

Fireballs were still being thrown from the city continuously, and the inaccurate fireballs made it impossible to see his trajectory. He didn't know when a fireball would fall by his side.

In a short time, there was a sea of ​​fire outside the city wall, and the blazing fire was burning Yuan Bing mercilessly.

When Yuan Shu saw this scene, the smile on his face became stiff. He never expected that he was about to attack the city, so he was beaten and fled in an instant.

Sun Ce, Zhang Xun, Le Jiu, Liang Gang and others hadn't arrived when they were blocked by returning soldiers. They saw a sea of ​​flames in front of them, and many Yuan soldiers were still yelling with flames on their bodies. , rushing indiscriminately, and a group of Xuzhou soldiers at the gate of the city were taking advantage of the momentum to cover up and kill.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and Sun Ce, Zhang Xun, Le Jiu, Liang Gang and others had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

On the city wall of Zhuyi City, Zhang Yan stabbed Yuan Bing to death, the last one who climbed up the city wall, and kicked Yuan Bing off the city wall. He saw a sea of ​​flames outside the city. The huge well fence was also completely burned by the fire, and Niu Jin and others were slaughtering Yuan Bing, and finally let out a long breath in their hearts.

A quarter of an hour later, the battle ended, and the first confrontation between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shu ended in Yuan Shu's defeat.

In Yuan Jun's army formation, Yuan Shu saw the retreating soldiers, and became angry with embarrassment. He gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhang Yan on the city wall, and said angrily, "I don't believe that the small town can't be attacked! Send the order, and after a quarter of an hour, Launch a fierce attack on Zhuyi City!"

The defeated army retreated to the army formation, and all the wounded were taken to the rear army for treatment. After Yuan Shu's order was issued, the entire Yuan army re-deployed. Sun Ce and Sun Ce each took 5000 men to the upper reaches of Sui River, preparing to attack by water.

After the order was issued, Zhang Xun and Sun Ce each led 5000 men to the back of the army formation, and then carried the rafts they had used to cross the river before, and secretly drove to the upper reaches of Sui River, preparing to go down the river and attack Zhuyi City.

In Zhuyi City, Zhang Yan stood on the tower and watched, but he saw a great change in Yuan Jun's army formation, and nearly [-] troops suddenly disappeared on the battlefield.He had already guessed Yuan Shu's intentions, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

In the confrontation just now, both sides suffered casualties. After a short break, Yuan Jun beat the drum of attack again.

As soon as the drums sounded, Le Jiu and Liang Gang, who had already prepared well, commanded the soldiers to rush towards Zhuyi City.

"Kill!"

The shouts resounded all over the world, more than [-] Yuan soldiers rushed towards Zhuyi City fiercely like a torrent. They carried ladders, some held shields, and some held bows and arrows, and launched an attack on Zhuyi City again .

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Yan saw Yuan Bing rushing over again, he immediately ordered: "Archers prepare!"

More than a thousand archers stood inside the city wall, squatting down and pointing their bows and arrows at the sky, fully drawing their bowstrings, waiting for an order.

Zhang Yan watched Yuan Jun's movement speed, and seeing Yuan Bing getting closer, he hurriedly shouted to the archers below the city wall: "Shoot the arrow!"

With an order, thousands of arrows shot out from the city immediately. The arrows flew high into the sky, crossed the city wall, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then began to fall, just landing on the soldiers of Yuan Jun who rushed over. in the camp.

A cluster of arrows fell, Yuan Bing screamed again and again, and hundreds of people were shot down.

Inside the city wall, as soon as the guards finished shooting the wave of arrows, they retreated quickly. Another group of more than a thousand archers hurriedly filled the gaps and fired another cluster of arrows.

Two thousand archers shot alternately, forming a dense rain of arrows, which scattered towards Yuan Bing one after another.

The archers standing on the city wall shot precisely, and shot at Yuan Jun's archers rushing over.

Arrows were like locusts, flying back and forth in the air, and many archers on the city wall were killed by arrows, but in comparison, Yuan Jun's casualties were even more severe.

Clusters of arrows were intertwined to form a dense defensive net. Before Yuan Jun's soldiers rushed to the city, more than 1000 people were shot dead, and countless more were injured.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately turned around and shouted to the people inside the city wall: "Xu Sheng! Start attacking!"

When Xu Sheng heard the order, he immediately commanded the soldiers to ignite the balls in the trebuchet, and then pulled the trebuchet to throw the fireball out forcefully.

Several trebuchets kept repeating this action, throwing out fireballs filled with kerosene one after another.

The fireball shattered outside the city again, and the flames flared up again. Yuan Jun's soldiers were terrified and did not dare to move forward.

"Rush! Rush, anyone who dares not to advance will be killed without mercy!" Le saw that his subordinates stopped moving, and said angrily.

Over there, Liang Gang shouted: "My lord has an order. Those who climb the city first will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold. If they advance to three levels in a row, the compensation for those who die in battle will be doubled! All charge forward, and we must capture this city!"

Using Yuan Jun's kindness and power together, Yuan Bing raised his spirits again and began to rush forward, and soon came to the bottom of the city wall. Before setting up the ladder, he was attacked by rolling stones thrown from the city wall.

At the same time, the gate of Zhuyi City was opened wide, and Niu Jin rushed out again with daredevils. These people were all brave and unstoppable, like a sharp knife.

At this moment, Yuan Shu, who was far away in the army, frowned when he saw that the defense of Zhuyi City was getting tighter, and his subordinates were confronted with tenacious resistance.

"Ji Ling!" Yuan Shu shouted.

"The end is here!" Ji Ling responded.

Yuan Shu ordered: "Attack [-] soldiers and horses immediately, prepare to attack the city, and strictly guard the line of defense. Without my order, who dares to retreat without a fight, behead!"

Ji Ling frowned. This sentence reflected Yuan Shu's attitude. It seemed that Yuan Shu wanted to conquer this city at all costs!
"Here!" Ji Ling responded, rode out, gathered [-] soldiers and horses, and came to the front line, where they were ready to fill in the vacancies at any time.

The rain of arrows, raging fire, dead men, the defense of Zhuyi City was integrated, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who attacked the city could not cope with it, and the ladder had never been erected at all!
Seeing this, Le Jiu and Liang Gang could only keep shouting to boost morale.But in the face of this impregnable defense, Yuan Bing was also powerless.

Soon, the falling fireballs formed a raging fire. They were connected and intertwined to form a hot wall of fire. Those behind could not rush forward, and those in front could not retreat.

Le Jiu, Liang Gang and more than 5000 soldiers and horses were blocked by the firewall and could not pass through, while Zhang Yan commanded the soldiers to work together to kill Yuan soldiers inside the firewall.

Yuan Bing screamed again and again, Le Jiu and Liang Gang had no choice but to make a detour, avoiding the fire wall and rushing towards Zhuyi City.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan ordered Xu Sheng to change the direction of the trebuchet and throw it to both sides respectively. The hot wall of fire expanded and expanded, directly blocking the way of Le Jiu, Liang Gang and others.

Le Jiu and Liang Gang couldn't make it through, so they had quick wits and asked the soldiers to use soil to bury the fire on the spot. Yuan Bing worked together and quickly extinguished the wall of fire, but what was displayed in front of them were piles of corpses and piles of corpses gathered on the ground. The bloody quagmire together.Within the distance from the wall of fire to the city wall, there was no more Yuan Bing.

Seeing that the attack was hopeless, Le Jiu and Liang Gang were just about to retreat when they saw Ji Ling leading the army coming. They said to Le Jiu and Liang Gang: "My lord has an order. You are only allowed to advance and not to retreat. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Le Jiu and Liang Gang had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead troops to attack again, while Ji Ling commanded the soldiers to follow Le Jiu and Liang Gang.About [-] Yuan Jun crowded together again and launched a new round of attacks on Zhuyi City!

"Niu Jin, lead the people back into the city and guard the city gates!" Seeing that Yuan Shu failed to achieve his goal, Zhang Yan vowed not to give up. In addition, Yuan Bing had a lot of troops. After fighting for nearly two hours, he only killed 7000 Yuan Bing. People, in order to preserve their strength, shouted to Niu Jin outside the city.

After hearing the order, Niu Jin immediately led his troops to retreat, and quickly withdrew into the city, closing the city gate firmly.

Facing the dense crowd of Yuan soldiers, Zhang Yan once again ordered the archers to release arrows. Those archers shot many times in a row, and their physical strength was not as good as before. After firing a bunch of arrows, the shooting range was obviously much smaller.

Zhang Yan immediately called for a military commander to change the archers and shoot in turn.

This time the attack was fully commanded by Ji Ling. Changing his previous attack strategy, Ji Ling specially ordered [-] archers, divided into two groups, on the left and right wings of the army, and began to use bows and arrows to suppress the people in Zhuyi City. defense.

"Fire the arrows!" Following Ji Ling's order, Yuan Bing fired all his arrows, demonstrating Yuan Jun's astonishing strength.

The densely packed arrows attacked Zhuyi City like locusts, and Zhang Yan hurriedly waved his iron spear to cover it.

A cluster of arrows fell, and a large part of the guards on the city wall were shot down. Not only that, more than half of the archers behind the city wall were also shot down.

Just as the arrows from one side fell, another cluster of arrows came from the other side, and the arrows were fired again. There was no clear target, but they just kept shooting, and the guards were so suppressed that they couldn't lift their heads!

Seeing this, Le Jiu and Liang Gang couldn't help but admire Ji Linglai, and it also created more space for them.

"Xuzhou soldiers have been completely suppressed by me. If you don't attack, when will you wait?" Ji Lingchong shouted to Lejiu and Liang Gang.

Lejiu and Liang Gang were full of energy, and the rest of the Yuan soldiers were also inspired to attack Zhuyi City in a swarm. Under the strong attack of their own archers, Yuan soldiers set up ladders one after another and began to climb towards the city wall.

On Zhuyi City, facing Yuan Bing's strong attack, they were powerless to fight back. Seeing that Yuan Bing was about to climb the city wall, Niu Jin and other daredevils suddenly climbed the city wall, risking being shot through by arrows. Physically in danger, he stood on the top of the city and fought bloody battles with Yuan Bing, and overturned the ladders one by one.
