Chapter 64: The Divine Arrow

Cao Xing's afterglow also glanced at the soldiers around him, their eyes were still erratic, obviously they had no confidence in Cao Xing, and they had no confidence in this war.

At the time of the Han Dynasty, although there were examples of the thirteen guards of Yumen Pass, who fought against foreign tribes for half a year and successfully repelled them, Cao Xing was not a conceited person, and he would not take it for granted that such a miracle would happen to him, so he had to shoot this arrow anyway. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be scattered.

Cao Xuan focused his eyes on the black horizon, Cao Xing's eyesight was excellent, and when Xianbei was about five hundred steps away from the bottom of the city tower, Cao Xuan could vaguely see the figure in front of him.

He aimed his arrow at the head of a Xianbei soldier running at the front, and the so-called gun shot the first bird, and it was you!

Cao Xuan took a deep breath and calmed down his state of mind, although the current bow and arrow range is only one hundred and fifty steps, but then again, this is not absolute, now Cao Xuan They are standing on top of the city tower, and there is an endless plain outside, shooting here is tantamount to a parabola.

It's just that there is no time to do so many mathematical simulations and calculations now, and Cao Xing can only rely on his sense and perception as an archer if he wants to shoot at the target.

Cao Xuan slowly forgot everything in his mind, and at this moment, it seemed that only he and the bow and arrow in his hand were left in heaven and earth.

Today's weather happens to be in a windless state, and Xianbei is riding a horse, if there is no obstacle, he will only keep moving forward, then Cao Xing estimated that he touched a point, and the distance from that point, his position was almost three hundred paces.

Cao Xuan closed his eyes with bated breath, quietly feeling everything around him, when he reached a certain critical point, Cao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst out with infinite brilliance, and he shouted: "Give it to me, medium!" ”

The voice of Cao Xing's last word dragged on for a very long time, and the surrounding soldiers looked at the arrow shot by Cao Xing, floating in the air, and their hearts all rose to their throats, because they felt that Cao Xing's arrow was almost impossible to hit anything, after all, Xianbei was still almost three hundred steps away from here, and many people's hearts were filled with a touch of despair.

And the Xianbei people standing outside, while letting out a whining and whistling, while riding their horses, at the same time their eyes showed infinite excitement, today is the day of their autumn wind, the thought that once they enter the city, they can loot countless gold and silver treasures, as well as beautiful young women. Many people can't help but feel a burst of joy in their hearts.

And a general at the front of the Xianbei team, he is also full of confidence at this moment, it is not the first time that he has led his troops to plunder the Han Dynasty, he is very experienced, so he believes that this time he will still return with a full load, and use the delicious food and precious money of the Han people to win all the respect of their tribesmen.

It's just that when this Xianbei general was about three hundred steps away from the city wall of Bianyun County, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, his ears moved, as if he felt the wind whistling, he couldn't help but look up, there was a small black dot in his pupils, which was rapidly approaching him.

In that time period of lightning, he didn't have time to react at all, until the black dot was getting closer and closer to his left pupil, and even hit his eyeball, he suddenly reacted, why this thing is so hard, it is clearly an arrow.

This Xianbei general may not be able to figure it out if he is killed, why would an arrow fly down from the sky when he is still so far away from the city wall?

The arrow directly pierced the left eye of the Xianbei general, because it came too suddenly, the Xianbei general did not hold back the pain, and with a whine, he fell directly off the horse.

It doesn't matter if he falls off his horse, the Xianbei people behind him saw this scene, and many people had a look of horror on their faces, because they knew that if they rode forward again, a large number of horses would trample over people's bodies, and this general would also suffer the pain of trampling by ten thousand horses.

So when the Xianbei soldiers in the back saw this scene, they gritted their teeth and pulled the reins of the horse, wanting to stop the horse completely.

The Xianbei soldiers in the back saw the people in front of them and suddenly stopped, they had no choice but to quickly stop the horses, but some people did not brake the car, and directly hit the people in front, the two horses collided, and the people on the horses fell directly to the ground, and the Xianbei army formation immediately became a mess.

The Xianbei army, which was originally galloping on horseback, was extremely chaotic at this moment, and the people on the left and right wings didn't seem to know what was happening in the middle, they only knew that they continued to rush forward on their own, and the Xianbei in the middle had already begun to hesitate in place.

There was a tall Xianbei general, who ran to the middle and immediately jumped off the horse, quickly went to support the Xianbei general in the middle, who was still lying on the ground, and called out loudly in the language of their Xianbei tribe: "Hadoli, how are you?" You can't die, if you die, there will be no hope for our battle! ”

Hadoli lifted his head from the ground with difficulty, and his left hand couldn't help but move closer to his left eye, but when he touched the arrow, there was a cone of pain.

Hadoli struggled to get up with the support of his neighbors, and Hadoli looked at the Xianbei soldiers around him who had stopped, and he shouted in their Xianbei language: "What are you stopping for? Why stop and rush me? Flatten that city, leave me alone! ”

The Xianbei soldiers around him received Hadoli's order, and one by one they did not hesitate, manipulated their horses, and galloped forward again.

However, it was precisely because of Hadoli's accident that a clever time difference was given to the Xianbei troops, and the formation of the Xianbei troops was completely chaotic.

When Cao Xing's arrow completely shot Hadoli off the horse, all the defenders on the city tower couldn't help but gasp, that moment has been haunting their hearts, as if that arrow has already been sealed in their hearts, three hundred steps away, an arrow hit, what kind of technology is this?

Then Zhou Cang took the lead with a burst of fierce cheers, and many soldiers directly abandoned all their timidity, because they saw the hope that Cao Xing was three hundred steps away, and the enemy's generals would be shot off their horses with one arrow, they were simply gods, and under the leadership of Cao Xing, they would definitely win this defensive battle.

Especially when he saw that Xianbei's formation was completely in chaos, Cao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was overjoyed, he raised his fist and shouted: "Listen to my orders, everyone prepare!" ”

When all the defenders in Bianyun County heard this, they all pulled out the bowstring in their hands and raised the bows and arrows in their hands slightly.

"Put!"

When Cao Xing's order was issued, all the defenders let go of the bowstrings in their hands, and more than 200 arrows flew towards the Xianbei soldiers who were about to rush over.

Although it is impossible for these soldiers to be as successful as Cao Xing, even if their arrows do not hit the Xianbei soldiers, they still fall on the horses ridden by the Xianbei soldiers, these are attacked by arrows, although the horses are rough and thick, so that they will not be killed by one arrow, but they also caused them a high degree of panic, they no longer listen to the orders of the knights on their backs, and began to run around, as if they wanted to throw the people above directly.

The formation of the Xianbei soldiers was disrupted again, Cao Xing saw the opportunity, and once again gave the order for everyone to prepare, and then let go of the bowstring in his hand, and more than 200 arrows, all of which were shot out with a brush, because this time the Xianbei soldiers got closer, so some soldiers also gave full play to their archery skills, these arrows were shot on the forehead, belly, and chest of these Xianbei soldiers. In the end, it turned directly into a pile of meat puree.

"Put!" Cao Xuan shouted again, and more than 200 arrows were shot out, and this time countless Xianbei soldiers fell off their horses, and three rounds of arrows went down, and there were probably more than 300 Xianbei soldiers shot and killed.

After paying the price of these people's lives, the Xianbei soldiers finally rushed under the city walls of Bianyun County.

However, the Xianbei people's battle is different from the Central Plains' battle, and in this kind of battle, the Central Plains generals will generally let the soldiers set up ladders, or directly hit the city gate with a city truck in order to break the city.

But Xianbei's combat is different, they only rely on one person and one horse to fight, it is impossible to carry such a heavy project, so when they approached the city tower, they saw countless Xianbei people, directly from the horse to take the rope, and then shouted, the arm force directly threw these ropes directly to the city wall, these ropes have hooks on them, and the city wall hooked to death at once.

Then he jumped on horseback, and was ready to climb the wall.

Seeing this, many soldiers gradually dissipated their fear of war, and they began to become crazy, although if they met in the wilderness, and fought an encounter with Xianbei and other nomads, maybe the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty could not please them, but they had to admit that in terms of attacking tough battles, Xianbei was inexperienced.

The Xianbei soldiers are like this, without any weapons, only wearing a little armor, and they want to climb the city wall with their bare hands.

"Zhou Cang, immediately lead fifty people to move all the rolling stones and sassalwoods on the city tower and smash them for me!" Cao Xuan said to Zhou Cang.

After Zhou Cang got the order, he acted quickly, and immediately called fifty people, and quickly moved the rolling stones and wood, these defensive equipment that had been prepared for a long time.
