Chapter 1054: Strong Crossbow?!
Li Chi walked in the canyon twenty miles away from Hedong County with some trepidation, and a sense of foreboding always rose in his heart.
This time, he came here with Zhang Liao's army to attack Anyi, the seat of Hedong County. However, Han Hao, the commander of Hedong County, did have a set of tactics and strategies, and Lord Zhang Liao's subordinates were Yanbei cavalry, which was inconvenient to attack the city. Therefore, Li Chi was sent to lead 3,000 horsemen to attack Xie Liang by surprise, thus cutting off the grain road outside Anyi. In this way, foreign aid is cut off, and the lonely city is difficult to defend, even if Han Hao has the ability to reach the sky, he can't stop the morale of the soldiers of Anyi.
At that time, it only takes a few times for Lord Zhang Liao to make a few noises and contact the rich households in Anyi to cooperate with each other. It will definitely fall in one fell swoop - the Ma family has already had the means to attack the city, and has always paid attention to hitting the enemy's morale first, and decaying from the inside as the second, and finally the thunderbolt hit the effect.
It's just that on this march, Li Chi vaguely felt a little strange. By the time he realized he was in danger, it was already too late.
Suddenly looking up, Li Chi noticed some unnatural light shining on the mountains on both sides, and out of a soldier's intuition, he instinctively sniffed out a hint of ominous taste.
"Stop marching, it's too narrow here, get back ahead!"
Li Chi turned around and shouted loudly. There were about 3,000 horsemen around him, and this force was now in a narrow valley, with gray-white mountain walls on either side slanting towards the center, forcing them to form a long column. At this moment, Li Chi heard a call sign with a Hedong accent coming from above his head, and he subconsciously raised his head......
"Not good! β¦β¦.β
Li Chi shouted, and in the next instant, thousands of crossbow arrows burst through the air from the top of the valley, emitting a sharp scream.
The unprepared Ma Jiajun was frightened by this sudden wave of death, and many soldiers did not have time to take off the round shield tied to their backs, and were directly shot into hedgehogs, and they let out a terrible scream before falling to the ground, shocking the hearts of their neighboring companions; Some of the cavalrymen were even nailed to the mountain wall with men and horses, and their hands and feet were still twitching. There was a dull pop in the valley, it was the terrible sound of arrows digging in.
Before the attackers could recover from the shock, the second wave of intensive shooting followed, then the third, fourth, and fifth....... this crazy crossbow attack was like an avalanche, causing the Ma Jiajun's array and will to fight to completely collapse with their **, splashing pieces of hideous blood.
Although the Ma family iron cavalry has the most loyal will and the best protection of this era, this sneak attack is too without warning. The enemy was ambushed high in the canyon, so that Ma Jiajun had no possibility of resisting. Good armor does not completely enclose the whole body; The will of loyalty had no effect at this time.
The horsemen looked dazed by the rain of arrows, and they ran aimlessly and screamed like a frenzy until they were impaled to the ground. Overhead, the ambush arrows rained out the sunlight at the top of the valley, and as the density of the attack increased, a layer of blood mist rose from the bottom of the valley.
Li Chiqing knew that the situation was out of control now, so he could only flee with the soldiers to the valley - as long as he escaped smoothly and regrouped his troops in the open field, there was still hope!
Li Chi thought so, and at the same time desperately endured the pain and acted like this. Although at this time, he couldn't figure out why there was an ambush by the Hedong Army here, but he knew that this was not the time to think about this-in the attack just now, he was hit by three arrows, but fortunately it was not a fatal injury.
"Whoosh~!"
Another rain of arrows rose from the archers, and this was already the fifth volley!
Li Chi didn't dare to look up, he knew what it meant to look up at this time. Except to be intimidated by the rain of arrows and lose resistance, there will be no other effect at all. The only thing that can be done at the moment is to grit your teeth and urge the war horse to run forward and run again!
By the time the eighth volley ended, Ma Jiajun's army had completely collapsed. The neatly organized cavalry team became a mass of panic and horror, and the survivors just wanted to get out of this hellish place as quickly as possible. Although there were only more than 1,000 crossbowmen in the Canyon Army, there were already tens of thousands of crossbow arrows fired, and they continued like a wave.
Compared to those soldiers, Li Chi, as the chief general, was lucky, although several crossbow arrows were firmly nailed to the back of his heart and left arm, but thanks to the heavy basin collar and armor of the Ma family, the arrows did not pierce the skin. With this advantage, he miraculously rushed out of the valley in one breath, frightened. In Li Chi's military career, he had never seen crossbow arrows fired with such dense firepower and frequency.
However, at this very time.
Sou! ο½
A jet-black arrow flew viciously towards Li Chi's throat, and the tip of the snowy crossbow was white in the sunlight, like the face of a dying man. Li Chi only felt that his body was pushed away by a huge force, and a guard who followed him desperately tried his best to block this crossbow arrow for Li Chi, hitting the soldier's chest!
"Don't~!"
The last soldier was shot by a crossbow arrow and fell down with a wail, and the blood sprayed from the wound splashed Li Chi's face, and even his vision blurred.
The fear of passing through his chest in a strange way hit him, and Li Chi didn't feel the pain, but he felt the cold numbness. It's not just that this guard has a great relationship with Li Chi, but it's also because this crossbow arrow shot on the chest of the pro-soldier turned out to be a steel nail arrow without an arrow cluster!
Li Chi closed the eyes of the soldier and pulled the crossbow arrow out of his chest, and the original white body of the arrow suddenly turned redβit was the color of blood. At the same time, this blood-stained crossbow arrow also brought Li Chi an unbelievable message: this is definitely a crossbow arrow that can be shot only by a US dollar crossbow!
In other words, Yuan Shao's crossbow making technology has reached the level of the Ma family!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Chi saw his running war horse fall to the ground with a wail, its two front hooves were pierced with an iron four-cornered horse nail at the same time, the horse armor could protect it from crossbow arrows, but it could not avoid these small things. Li Chi, who was in a hurry, was forced to abandon his mount and fled on foot.
But after running two steps, Li Chi felt that something was wrong again, and he glanced at the top of the canyon. Seeing that the shadowy soldier had begun to descend the mountain, he rolled his eyes, quickly took off his armor, and replaced it with a soldier of similar stature to him, and at the same time, pressed himself under a fallen war horse.......
"Ahh β¦β¦.β
"Ugh! β¦β¦.β
There were continuous screams, and Li Chi knew that it was these Hedong soldiers who were examining the corpses. And mend the stabs on the corpses that are not yet dead. Occasionally hearing a miserable cry with a familiar accent, Li Chi's heart was like a knife. But at this time, he couldn't show the slightest sound.......
Suddenly, a sharp pain suddenly came from Li Chi's right foot! Li Chi, who was about to scream with a reflex, suddenly understood his situation - someone must have found his 'corpse' hidden under the body of the war horse, and in order to open the trouble of the horse corpse, he made up a knife on his bare right foot to see if the person under the horse corpse was dead.
Cold sweat suddenly burst out of Li Chi's face, and he gritted his teeth buried under the horse's corpse, allowing the soldier to slowly pull out the blade from his right leg - this undoubtedly aggravated Li Chi's pain, making Li Chi have the urge to scream and turn over at any time!
"Found it, found the leader of this team!" In the distance, Hedongjun shouted excitedly, and Li Chi felt the blade in his right foot being quickly withdrawn, ending his long torture - but the pain was still .......
It wasn't until the footsteps had completely left an hour before Li Chi dared to lift the horse's corpse. Bleeding so much that he was cold and lightheaded, he gritted his teeth, and had only one belief in his heart: to run back to Lord Zhang Liao's camp.......
Alone, I don't know how long he has been going on in the mountains, when the sun is about to set, Li Chi vaguely saw a big scroll with the word "Zhang" written in front of him, and countless soldiers of the Ma family wearing white military uniforms surrounded him. With a wide heart, Li Chi fell to the ground. In his hand, he is holding a steel nail arrow without a cluster of arrows.......
