Sun Jian didn't expect that Cao Xing, who had just chatted with him, would attack directly, so why waste time.

Tens of thousands of Zhengbai flag foot soldiers came from three sides, and these troops who were good at field battles such as Qiang, Hu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei were the main force.

Fortunately, there are Di people who are good at attacking fortifications and climbing, and guilty Han people are also among them to fill the lack of their siege strength.

Behind him was an army of 40,000, of which 20,000 were cavalry from the Eight Banners and 20,000 from the small and medium-sized tribes of the Huns, and 10,000 were cavalry.

"The first siege of the city mobilized 50,000 troops, is this Cao Xing planning to die?"

King Chen said angrily.

Chen Guoming's face Luo Jun was a little embarrassed, and he was weighing what Cao Xuan said just now, so he didn't answer.

Is it okay for King Chen to speak, but no one answers? It's really not, Sun Jian reluctantly took over the topic.

"Your Highness, didn't you notice that these people are relatively short? Looking at their appearances and the dresses of most of them, this is clearly the alien soldiers under Cao Xing's command! ”

"Alien soldiers attacking the city?! Among them, there are tens of thousands of cavalry, what is Cao Xing doing? I've never heard of that alien race who is good at attacking cities!

Isn't this a waste of combat power with a short blow and a long blow? ”

Luo Jun's face was full of surprise, and when he said this, he suddenly wanted to catch something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Sun Jian replied again:

"As far as I know about Cao Xing, these people die a lot, Cao Xing will shed tears, give their families a large amount of pensions, and adopt their orphans, but he will not be sad."

"How can you not hurt ...... if you can shed tears?"

It was Cheng Pu who said this, and at this point, he couldn't get out of his heart, and he felt that he said something that didn't match his IQ at all.

Because of personal grievances, the judgment is affected!

Sun Jian did not answer Cheng Pu's words, but continued Luo Jun's topic:

"Doesn't cavalry play a role in siege? No, this is exactly the genius of Cao Xing's use of soldiers!

The cavalry can use a circular formation to shoot while running, which increases the difficulty of shooting at the head of the city and increases the range of the cavalry.

Once the city gate is opened, I think Cao Xing will never give up the opportunity to charge the city gate with cavalry, because these cavalry are mostly Huns in terms of clothing. ”

"Huns, alien soldiers, and feudal ......"

Luo Jun muttered in his mouth, his eyes slowly turned cloudy and clear, and became bright and glowing,

Sun Jian, who did not have a mastermind or scribe under his command, looked at Luo Jun, his heart was full of pity, and he asked:

"What did Luo Fujun find?"

"Uh, nothing!"

Luo Jun shook his head, put away the light in his eyes, and quietly exchanged glances with King Chen, who came over.

"The enemy army is down in the city!"

I don't know who shouted this sentence, but it drew the attention of Chen Wang and others to the city.

I saw 10,000 flag soldiers wearing uniform uniforms with a uniform white flag and half of the leather armor rate, holding shields, carrying ladders, and pushing the crashing car, and had entered within 500 steps.

"Crossbowman ready!"

Chen Wanghu's body was shocked, and he took over the command, and the three thousand elite strong crossbowmen under his command wound the crossbows one after another, aiming diagonally upward.

"Due west! Two hundred steps! Shoot! ”

King Chen gave an order.

"Puffy Tent~"

Three thousand strong crossbows shot out in unison, three thousand strong crossbows are the most powerful crossbows in the individual crossbows, each crossbow is a fine product, plus the height of the city wall, so that all three thousand crossbow arrows are shot to a distance of two hundred steps, and still maintain great power.

"Click~"

"Ah~"

The sound of the simple wooden shield shattering, accompanied by the screams of the white flag soldiers, a wave of salvos, so that hundreds of flag soldiers were hit by arrows, and the simple wooden shield with one person did not play any role at all, and the crossbow arrows shattered the wooden shield and still pierced into the body of the flag soldiers.

Fortunately, half of the people wore leather armor, plus the commander and above, their shields were refined, and they were also covered with cowhide and iron sheets, so the mortality rate was not high.

"There's no way to stop each other!"

King Chen sighed:

"Hurry up and wind up!"

"What are they doing?"

Luo Jun did not go down to the city to avoid the war, at this time, he pointed to the city, only to see the injured flag soldiers running back on their own, and those who could not run ran out of range with the support of their companions.

In the middle of the Cao army's formation, a large group of people with white cloth armbands rushed out, and they did not show the weapons on their waists, but opened the wooden boxes on their shoulders and bandaged the wounded soldiers on the spot.

The lightly wounded who had been simply bandaged took the refined skin shield handed over by Cao Jun's regular soldiers, and continued to return to the front line with the encouragement of the other party.

The white armbands of the seriously wounded, who could no longer fight, were carried away on stretchers and disappeared into the military formation.

What Sun Jian and the others couldn't see was that these seriously wounded people would soon leave the battlefield and be escorted to a safe place by logistics auxiliaries to heal their wounds.

After they recovered from their injuries, they were no longer alien soldiers, but were given Han names, put on Han clothes, and became new Han people, and if they were lucky, they would be incorporated into the Han army.

The same is true of the battlefield gains.

Therefore, the alien soldiers not only do not resist becoming cannon fodder, but also regard it as a ladder to the sky to get rid of poverty, such an army, coupled with the bloodthirsty and belligerent character of the alien race, Cao Xing's strict military law, and a fair promotion system, it is difficult to think of high combat effectiveness.

"Puffy Tent~"

The three thousand strong crossbowmen crushed the world with their hand speed, and when the white flag entered the hundred paces, they released another volley.

At the head of the city, the 3,000 archers of the Chen and Sun families also began to attack with archery.

An archer is no better than a crossbowman, it is a long-term job, it is difficult to pass without two or three years, and he is also particular about his size, he is small and has no strength, even if he can pull the bow, he will not have the strength to shoot a few arrows.

All the elites of King Chen are 3,000 strong crossbowmen, and Sun Jian no longer has elites, and his elites have long been devoured by Chen Ying, Guo Shi, and Shamoke using the tactics of a sea of people.

Nearly 60,000 troops, pieced together, can pull out 3,000 unqualified archers, which is already the limit, you must know that the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who once surrounded Changshe did not have a few thousand archers.

Closer distance, more feather arrows, more casualties of the Cao army, this time, the banner soldiers did not rush to transport the wounded soldiers, but quickly put down their shields, took out the bows and arrows they carried, each of them in one go, and completed the bow and string in an instant.

"Shoot!"

Yan Xing gave an order, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sunlight was divided into small pillars of light, and the difference in light made Chen and Sun Bing, who were busy with bows and crossbows in the city, unable to open their eyes.

"Puff~Ah~"

The sound of arrows entering the flesh sounded, accompanied by the screams of the defenders, and above the city, a large number of defenders were hit by arrows, and they had no armor, so that hundreds of people died on the spot.

One side died hundreds, one side died hundreds, a difference of several times, the competition of archery, high and low.
