Countless arrows were shot at the same time, and dense arrows flew towards Chen Cangcheng, quite a dark cloud overwhelming the city.

At the moment when the archers of the Yizhou army released their arrows, the defenders of the city reacted.

At that moment, many foreign objects suddenly appeared on the city wall, some high and some low, directly making the city wall much higher, and after the dense arrows shot up, some passed through the gap in the middle, and some crashed into those foreign objects.

"Shield!"

With a loud shout, many shields appeared above the battlements, and the shields stood on top of the walls on either side, blocking the gaps that the arrows had just passed through.

At this time, almost the entire city wall of Chencang City facing the Yizhou army has increased a lot, except for those battlements, there is no gap in the half.

And this became the best shield for the defenders, able to resist arrows and crossbow arrows for most of the soldiers on the city wall.

This is naturally Meng Tian's arrangement, after having a premonition that the enemy army in Yizhou would attack the city, Meng Tian immediately made a decision, looking for wooden planks overnight, making wooden planks, these wooden planks standing on the city are nearly a zhang long, and the short ones are four or five feet, and many of them are removed door panels.

Meng Tian knew that the Yizhou army did not have the powerful siege weapons of catapults, and the arrows were the best weapons of the Yizhou army.

Although these planks can't block those powerful crossbows, how many crossbow arrows can be shot by the strong crossbow at a time, the main weapons of the Yizhou army are still those ordinary bows and arrows with mediocre power, so that these planks become the defenders' shields, which can reduce the losses by at least half.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the defenders only had less than a thousand arrows, which seems to be an extremely large number, but you must know that there are tens of thousands of archers outside the city who are firing arrows, plus strong crossbows, three rounds of arrow rain is at least 30,000 arrows, if you put it in the usual number of defenders with arrows, the number of soldiers is more than five times.

Peng Yue naturally discovered the problem, and he immediately ordered to stop firing arrows.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the planks on the opposite city that were filled with arrows, Peng Yue was extremely angry, he naturally knew that before the army attacked the city, the method of using arrows to consume the enemy army had failed.

"Give the order to go down and let the army attack the city immediately."

The plan failed, and Peng Yue could only choose to forcibly attack the city, and in this way, the losses would inevitably increase sharply.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the drums sounded in unison, and the shouts of killing appeared, and countless soldiers flocked to Chen Cangcheng like a huge wave.

"Papapa, pa, papa......"

And this scene was naturally discovered by the defenders who were observing between the battlements, and they reacted instantly, and the wooden planks standing in front of them fell in an instant.

"Quick, Quick, Fast......"

The defenders urged each other, and many soldiers carried the planks to the other side of the wall, where there were already soldiers waiting, and their task was to take out the arrows and collect them for their own use.

In this way, the road, which was not wide, suddenly became crowded, but there was no way, this was something that had to be done, because it was uncertain, and there would be a strong rain of arrows later, and with the strength of the defenders, it would be possible to delay by doing so.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a shout, the defenders finally began to counterattack, countless arrows flew to the ground, and many besieging soldiers fell on the way to the charge.

Among the several forces of the entire Han Dynasty, the bow and arrow in Liu Wei's army were the most powerful, and Liu Wei's command was in the bow and arrow, and the army under Meng Tian was the most powerful with the Chang'an army.

The soldiers who besieged the city of Yizhou did not fall one by one, but fell one by one, and this is because many people have shields to protect them, otherwise the losses will be heavier.

With the passage of time, the soldiers of the Yizhou army were still a long distance from the city wall, but during this time, the Yizhou army had lost thousands of people.

"Damn, why are their arrows so powerful." Peng Yue's face changed greatly.

"Even last time, I didn't find such a powerful archer under Meng Tian."

Duan Zhixuan's face was also very ugly, but he forgot one thing, when Yizhou attacked Meng Tian's army, Meng Tian only had 100,000 people, and the army was divided into four, but this time it was different, although the army was also scattered, but the archers alone, Chen Cang's archers accounted for sixty percent of Meng Tian's archer team, 30,000 defenders, and nearly 20,000 archers.

20,000 archers, and they are also well-trained archers, this kind of strength is so huge, more than a star and a half stronger than the archers of the Yizhou army.

"Let the shield guard the archers advance, and then release arrows at Chen Cangcheng." Peng Yue instructed Duan Zhixuan.

"But what about the soldiers of our army who are besieging the city?" Duan Zhixuan hurriedly asked.

"That's why we let the archers move forward, and now we must suppress the archers on the opposite side, otherwise the losses will be extremely heavy, and it is even possible that the 100,000 army will be exhausted, and they will not be able to take Chen Cangcheng." Peng Yue retorted.

Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan also felt that there was some truth, and immediately went to arrange Peng Yue's order.

Immediately afterward, the defenders noticed that the shield array that had been staying in place began to move, and in addition to this, the archers behind the shield array were also constantly moving.

"Ma Dai, you immediately arrange a group of people to stop those people from advancing." Meng Tian pointed to the moving shield array and commanded Ma Dai.

"No!"

Ma Dai immediately ordered the arrangements to begin.

Soon after, countless arrows flew from the city wall to the shield array in the distance, and dense arrows flew into the shield array, although there was a shield to cover it, but it could not be completely covered, especially the archers behind the shield hand, the slightest carelessness would be shot by the bow and arrow.

Holding their shields and moving forward, listening to the sound of hitting them, these shieldmen were also very nervous, and the archers behind them were even more nervous.

The enemy archers occupy a good position, although they have shields, but it is very difficult for one shield to protect two or three people, and they are still moving, under such a dense number of arrows, they may be hit by the slightest mistake, so they are all frightened.

However, it is advantageous that because of their reasons, they successfully attracted some arrows for the Yizhou soldiers who were besieging the city, and at this time, many people have taken this opportunity to advance for a long distance, and even more than 100 people have rushed to the city wall.

Even the group of men who had been targeted by the archers of the defenders, and who had suffered the most serious losses, pushed the carts carrying the crashing wood, advanced some distance, and by this time they were only a dozen paces away from the city gate.

The shield array and the archers, who had finally kept advancing, were reluctant to move any further, and only advanced less than twenty paces before stopping, but this distance was about the same for them.

When the shield array settled down, there were far fewer arrows flying.

"Tell the soldiers to be ready to dodge at any time, shoot an arrow to dodge, and don't be exposed to the outside all the time." At this time, Meng Tian once again conveyed the order to his subordinates.

"No!"

The Yizhou army outside the city was constantly rushing towards the city, and their losses were already very heavy at this time, about to reach 10,000 people.

Outside the city, there were screams and howls, and many seriously wounded soldiers fell in pools of blood, screaming that the heavens should not be right, that the earth was not spiritual, and that they could not move, and they were extremely miserable.

After about a stick of incense, the archers behind the shield array began to show their heads one after another.

After another stick of incense, the first batch of counterattack arrows of the Yizhou army finally came.

Countless arrows once again staged the scene of dark clouds crushing the city, flying up the city walls, and many soldiers who were exposed or unlucky were naturally hit by arrows.

However, fortunately, the existence of the city wall, coupled with Meng Tian's reminder, the casualties were not so serious, but even so, there were still nearly 1,000 people who were hit by arrows.

Revenge on the spot is the norm on the battlefield, so the defenders' arrows were once again aimed at the vicinity of the shield array, and the two sides directly launched a confrontation.

One side has a city wall, condescending, and the other side has a shield and a numerical advantage. (PS: Not all defenders can aim their bows and arrows here, and there are more people who will deal with the siege army.) ）

Arrows were constantly being shot and people falling on both sides, and this provided strong support for the besieging army.
