Zhou Yu was furious, and led the army along the Yangtze River to Jiangling, because it was from the upper reaches to the middle reaches, although there were 1,500 or 600 miles, but because it was downstream, it took only two days to arrive.

This time, in order to fight for Jiangling, Zhou Yu brought all the 100,000 troops over, and there were tens of thousands of warships alone.

However, the defenders of Jiangling City were not too flustered, because they had already expected that Zhou Yu would not give up and were prepared accordingly.

On the city wall near the river in Gangneung, the defenders were in full array, they built a high wall more than ten miles along the river, causing the outer city to expand to the south for more than ten miles, and built a battlement and a female wall on the high wall, completely in accordance with the style of the city wall, and it was densely covered with soldiers, and each soldier held a crossbow with twenty crossbow arrows in his hand.

Zhou Yu didn't expect that in just three days, the other party would build such a high wall, and he clearly saw on the top floor of the tall building ship that the enemy soldiers hidden behind the female wall were all armed with crossbows, and there were tens of thousands of people lurking behind this high wall alone.

Seeing this scene, even Zhou Yu was a little worried, but now that the arrow was on the string, he had to send it, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet, stand on the top floor of the building boat, and shout to the city: "Where is Zhang Xiu?" Why did you attack my city without permission? If I don't give an explanation today, my 100,000 people will definitely wash Gangneung in blood! ”

But I saw Zhang Xiu on the head of the city and said loudly: "This is my Han family's city, how did it become yours?" Zhou Yu, your master Sun Quan plotted to kill his brother and usurp the throne, and now he doesn't listen to the court's moderation, vainly trying to secede, the crime is great, if your lord Sun Quan knows each other, he will lay down his arms and surrender early, admit the crime of killing his brother, and return the city under his rule to my Han, my lord may be able to spare his life for the sake of his in-laws, if he blindly resists, I am afraid that even if my lord wants to cover up, he can only be punished by the canon, so as to deter the world from being small. ”

"Humph! What nonsense are you talking about? Kill your brother? Are you talking about the death of Bo Fu? Bo Fu was killed by Xu Gongmenke, this matter is known to everyone in the world, and now you are fabricating charges like this, is it a little too ridiculous? When Zhou Yu heard Zhang Xiu's words, he couldn't help laughing, and sneered at Zhang Xiu's words of "slandering" Sun Quan's reputation.

But seeing Zhang Xiuhaha, he laughed and said: "I don't dare to fabricate such a charge, this matter is what my Mrs. Sun said herself, and it was also what my Mrs. Sun heard with her own ears back then, Sun Quan did not hesitate to kill his brother in order to win power, and he will definitely be ruined in the future!" ”

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't believe this, and said angrily: "It's really hateful that you slander my lord like this, where are the archers?" Ten thousand arrows, shoot him with me! ”

Then the archers appeared, bent their bows and arrows, and prepared to start shooting.

However, at this moment, only the sound of breaking the sky not far in front of them came sharply, and everyone couldn't help but look at it, only to see that as far as the eye could see, all were black pressed crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows did not know how many, and for a while they actually blocked the sun, as if agreeing to a large dark cloud, and like tens of millions of locusts crossing the border.

When Zhou Yu saw this scene, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly dodge!" ”

However, at this time, it was too late, those archers who had not had time to shoot bows and arrows all became targets, and were swallowed up by the rain of arrows that came from the rapid shooting, and in an instant only the screams were heard endlessly, and almost none of the tens of thousands of archers were intact, some of them were more lucky, and they also had several crossbow arrows on their bodies, and some of them were more miserable, and their bodies were filled with dozens or hundreds of feather arrows, which looked like hedgehogs, which made people feel terrifying.

Because the soldiers are shooting arrows near the side of the ship, so this round of arrow rain down, many soldiers in dodge or panic, fell into the river, which caused many soldiers to be swallowed by the river, blood is stained red on the river, this scene looks particularly miserable, shocking.

Although he guessed that the other party's crossbow arrows should not be an ordinary thing, Zhou Yu did not expect that these crossbow arrows would cause such great power, just one round of arrow raindown, 10,000 archers killed five or six thousand, seriously injured two or three thousand, and those who could continue to fight, were less than 10% out of ten.

At this time, Zhou Yu estimated that one of the opponent's crossbow machines could send out more than ten feather arrows at the same time, and it could even be twenty crossbow arrows, but he had never heard of such a powerful weapon in this world!

"Humph! How many crossbow bolts can I see you can have? The order went down, the archers covered, and the other soldiers set up ladders to attack the city! ”

After years of fighting, and at the same time absorbing the siege ladder style that circulated in Liu He's army, sent a large number of craftsmen, after many experiments, and finally invented a ladder that can be built directly on the ship, through this siege method to break through many well-defended cities, and now seeing that he suffered such heavy losses as soon as he came up, Zhou Yu immediately used the ability to press the bottom of the box in annoyance, and ordered the whole army to directly attack the city through this means, in a vain attempt to directly pile up the opponent through the advantage of numbers.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Yu gave this order was because he estimated that the other party said that there were not many feather arrows left, because it was roughly estimated that just this round of arrow rain, the other party had consumed more than 100,000 crossbow arrows, and he saw that these crossbow arrows were all made of iron, although they seemed to be much shorter than ordinary crossbow arrows, but after all, they would consume a lot of iron resources, and if these iron ores were used to cast weapons, it was estimated that they could arm at least thirty or forty thousand troops, and such huge resources would definitely not be available in the short term even under Liu He's rule.

However, Zhou Yu naturally didn't know that Liu He found more than a dozen large-scale iron mines during this period, and hired workers to mine and smelt iron with high remuneration, resulting in extremely rich iron resources, and 200,000 iron crossbow arrows were just a small matter.

Therefore, in the next scene, Zhou Yu's army was tragic, they were desperate to find that another round of feather arrows was shooting at them, and this round of feather arrows would definitely not be inferior in strength and lethality to the previous round, plus Zhou and his soldiers were ordered to start attacking the city, and naturally appeared from the ship, resulting in the loss of Zhou Yu's army this time almost double that of the last time.

It was just two rounds of crossbow arrow attacks from the other side, and his army didn't even see the other party's face, and they actually lost more than 15,000 people, which made Zhou Yu really unacceptable.

Therefore, Zhou Yu couldn't calm himself down at all, he was almost hysterical, and ordered the army to continue to attack and capture Jiangling City at all costs!

"I don't believe it, you can have a third wave of arrows like this? Hmph, I don't believe that you will be willing to give up the iron resources that can equip an army of fifty or sixty thousand, even if it is ten years, it is estimated that you will not be able to get these resources, right? With a hint of hideousness on his face, Zhou Yu gritted his silver teeth and said in a deep voice.
