The crossbow, ever since its appearance, has been used as a weapon of mass destruction, showing its demeanor on the battlefield. And even at some point, it took away the grace of the bow.

Strictly speaking, if you talk about the power of the two weapons alone, then there is no doubt that the bow is stronger, because a supreme archer, such as Li Yi, holds a bow and arrow, and the power of holding a bow and arrow is not at all comparable to that of ordinary crossbowmen. Moreover, the bow has a stronger continuous attack and is more flexible.

Even compared to archers of Guan Yu's level, the power of crossbow arrows is slightly inferior. But the question is, how many archers are there at the level of generals? And how many ordinary soldiers are there? It can be said that the biggest advantage of a crossbow is that it only needs to pass very simple training, which can instantly make a person a qualified crossbowman.

Although even within 50 steps, the hit rate of elite crossbowmen is only about 50%, but when you really go to the battlefield and face thousands of enemies on the opposite side, the hit rate? You don't need to worry about it at all, okay?

It's just that the manufacturing process of crossbow arrows is more troublesome and expensive, so even the officers and soldiers don't have too many crossbows.

Although the crossbow arrow basically only has one chance to shoot in this case, it is obvious that just such a shooting opportunity is enough for Sun Jian to attach great importance to it. After all, there is no need to draw a bow and arrows, and it may only take a moment from shooting to shooting, how can this terrifying weapon make Sun Jian not pay attention to it?

Sun Jian quickly led his men to the east gate, leaving only some people to defend the northeast corner, so that more officers and soldiers could rush up. He stared at the Yellow Turban soldiers with crossbow arrows, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would cause a situation he didn't want to see because of negligence.

The general will inevitably die before the battle, but if he dies in this kind of place, in the hands of such a small soldier, Sun Jian is absolutely unwilling. And even if the casualties are only the subordinates, Sun Jian also doesn't want to see it. You must know that these people were all brought by him from Jiangdong, and many of them are even Fuchun people. Bringing in 1,000 people, now there are only more than 800 left, and Sun Jian doesn't want that number to continue to decrease.

It's just that when Sun Jian led people to kill the side of the city wall of the East Gate, the entire city wall suddenly became chaotic. Because of the reason that the officers and soldiers were in charge of the south gate and the west gate, and the officers and soldiers of the east gate and the north gate really seemed to be just an auspicious attack, which made Zhao Hong not invest too many troops in the east gate and the north gate.

And these forces were indeed more than enough to deal with the attack of the officers and soldiers at the beginning. It's just that when Sun Jian led the army to attack the northeast corner, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers at the north gate and the east gate suddenly stepped up their offensive, and they instantly became a little inadequate. After Zhao Hong sent reinforcements, although the pressure on the north gate and the east gate was eased, their appearance made the garrison on the city wall a little chaotic.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army was just a group of miscellaneous soldiers composed of peasants, and they were very good at following the swarm of charging and killing, robbing and setting fires, but if it was necessary to use the organization, division of labor, and other places, the gap between them and the officers and soldiers was very obvious.

It seems that now, there are many Yellow Turban soldiers who are trying to rush to the edge of the city wall to stop the officers and soldiers who are trying to attack the city, and there are also many people who see Sun Jian and others trying to kill this group of officers and soldiers who rushed to the city wall first. This kind of thinking leaves them basically in a situation where they are basically fighting in silos, how can it not be chaotic?

In this regard, Zhao Hong didn't seem to see it, but just stared at Sun Jian's side. Maybe for him, this chaotic situation is nothing to worry about at all? Only Sun Jian's side is the real henchman.

It's just that he didn't seem to expect that in this case, it would be difficult for those crossbowmen to move quickly in front of Sun Jian, let alone shooting. Seeing this, where did Sun Jian still not understand what was going on? Immediately accelerated towards the crossbowmen, while constantly blocking the other party's view through the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans.

"Damn!" Seeing Sun Jian getting closer and closer, a crossbowman finally couldn't help but press the trigger, and the result was ...... There was a scream, but it was shot at the Yellow Turban soldier next to him.

Seeing this, the crossbowman was about to say something sorry, but saw that the yellow turban soldier returned his hand and slashed at him. He hurriedly dodged, but when he looked up, he found that the Yellow Turban had been shot by another crossbowman.

"What are you doing?!" Zhang San shouted angrily.

"Kill the enemy? Isn't he a mole? Later, Li Si said inexplicably, he didn't see the picture of Zhang San's shot, so when he saw the Yellow Turban soldier killing Zhang San, he subconsciously thought that he had defected.

Hearing this, Zhang San was about to reprimand him angrily, but Sun Jian had already killed them in front of them. After the crossbow arrows were fired, it required a lot of arm strength to reload, and it was very cumbersome, at least, Sun Jian didn't think that they could be successfully loaded in such a short period of time.

Two swords killed both of them, and then he took two steps forward and killed another crossbowman. This made the remaining crossbowmen panic, because they could see that Sun Jian was aiming at them to kill.

Suddenly, they no longer dared to move forward, and some people directly aimed at Sun Jian and shot the crossbow arrows. It's just that in such a hurry, where can you shoot accurately? So he shot the other Yellow Turbans again. And this time, many people have seen it.

"What are you doing?!"

"The traitors of the officers and soldiers?!"

The surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers shouted and surrounded the crossbowmen. Seeing this, Sun Jian directly turned around and killed the Yellow Turban soldiers beside him, leading the officers and soldiers of the East Gate to enter the city wall. At this moment, the city wall was completely chaotic.

"Calm down! Calm down! There aren't many enemies! Zhao Hong kept roaring, but the city wall of the East Gate, which had been completely chaotic at this time, was obviously no longer something that he, the Qu Shuai who was temporarily pushed out, could control it.

"Damn!" Seeing this, Zhao Hong turned around and ran towards the city, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the east gate was lost, so why did he stay here?

"Zhao Hong is running! Your commander has forsaken you! Sun Jian's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted after seeing Zhao Hong leave. In fact, he didn't know Zhao Hong, he only knew that he was the commander of the Wancheng Yellow Turban Army. So when I saw that the other party seemed to have a good identity, I shouted it directly.

It's just that when he shouted like this, the Yellow Turban soldiers who knew that Zhao Hong was here couldn't help but turn their heads and look over, just when they saw the picture of Zhao Hong turning around and fleeing, this time, where did these Yellow Turban soldiers still have the heart to fight?

At sunset, as the east gate was breached, the Yellow Turban Army in Wanxian County did not hold out for long, and soon a large number of Yellow Turban Army surrendered on their knees, and Zhao Hong was also killed by Sun Jian in the chaos.
