The crossbow bolt is powerful and can shoot more accurately than the bow and arrow, but the crossbow arrow also has its disadvantage, that is, the speed of shooting is slow, and after a round of crossbow arrows, it takes a long time to prepare.

Caught off guard, the archers in front of the Jizhou army suffered heavy casualties, and they did not expect that the strong crossbowmen on the opposite side would have such a long range.

"Kill!" Guo Yuan ordered loudly, he naturally understands the weakness of the crossbowmen, in his opinion, although the current losses are a little bigger, as long as they get close to the Youzhou army, the rest of the things are not what they say, these crossbowmen can't fight the Jizhou army with the long sword in their hands.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is that Guo Yuan is dumbfounded, the crossbow arrows from the Youzhou army seem to be tired, anyway, in the eyes of the Jizhou army soldiers, the crossbow arrows are clearly endless, although there are only two thousand strong crossbow soldiers, the feeling given to the Jizhou army is that it is facing thousands of troops.

Many soldiers of the Jizhou army did not even dare to step forward, they knew that once they crossed the invisible line, they might die, and many of their robes died on the battlefield like this.

Chen gave an order, and the Xianbei cavalry, who were waiting on both sides, dispatched, and the rumbling war horses slaughtered the Jizhou army.

There are also 300 cavalry in Lunu City, but the strength of these 300 cavalry is much worse than that of the Xianbei cavalry, and the Xianbei people defeated Lu Bu, which does not mean that the cavalry of the Jizhou army can easily defeat them.

The Xianbei cavalry regained the self-confidence of the year in the Jizhou army, and many cavalry even shouted excitedly, giving them a feeling of aggrieved when they fought with the army under the command of Lu Bu, and they even suspected that the brave Xianbei people on the grassland had become weak, and now it seems that it is not that the Xianbei people have become weak, but that the Bingzhou army and the Youzhou army are too strong.

For a strong man like Lu Bu, the Xianbei people were both in awe and afraid.

The Jizhou cavalry fought by the Xianbei cavalry only had the ability to parry, and Chen Zhi led the strong crossbowmen to slowly step forward.

The strong crossbowmen stepped forward, which set off a lot of waves in the Jizhou army, many soldiers of the Jizhou army saw the strong crossbowmen come forward, and the first reaction was not to meet the enemy, but to hide behind, and the dense corpses in front of the robe have proved how terrible the strong crossbowmen of the enemy army are.

Seeing this, Guo Yuan immediately ordered to withdraw to the city, and with the deterrence of the defenders in the city, Chen Zhi did not lead the army to pursue.

Listening to the victorious shouts of the Youzhou army outside the city, Guo Yuan's face was a little gloomy, these soldiers are just the front of the Youzhou army, once the Youzhou army enters Jizhou, what kind of turmoil it will set off.

After this battle, the morale in the city was a little low, and many defenders looked at the Youzhou army outside the city, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.

Chen Zhi still led his soldiers to fight outside the city every day, and the vanguard army of 4,000 people made the Jizhou army, which was more numerous, dare not fight.

Guo Jia, who was leading most of the troops and horses to Zhongshan, got the battle situation of Lunu City, and showed a smile on his face, Chen Zhi's existence greatly hit the morale of the Jizhou army, once the Youzhou army arrived outside the city, it would inevitably shake the defenders in the city, and then only need to use some means, why not take Zhongshan down.

Once the Zhongshan Kingdom is occupied, it is connected with Julu and the Jizhou army is eliminated, and the rest is to attack Wei County, as for the defenders in the river, Guo Jia has no intention of attacking for the time being, what he wants to take is to besiege Wei and save Zhao.

The importance of Wei County to Yuan Shao is self-evident, once Wei County falls into the war, will Yuan Shao still be in the mood to attack Huguan, Jizhou is the foundation of Yuan Shao, once Jizhou is lost, even if it breaks through Huguan, it will lose its due meaning for Yuan Shao.

Five days later, Guo Jia led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Lunu City.

Thunderbolts and bed crossbows were set up outside the city at great speed, and in front of the thunderbolts, many soldiers were busy.

After Guo Yuan saw the scene outside the city, his mood instantly fell into a trough, and he saw that the thunderbolt of the Youzhou army was three hundred and thirty steps away from the city wall at this time, and although the thunderbolt of the Jizhou army reached three hundred steps in range, it had the advantage of the city wall, and it was difficult to compare with the Youzhou army.

When the boulders were thrown on the city wall, it set off a lot of waves in the city, but the Jizhou army still had some experience in dealing with such an offensive of the thunderbolt, and many soldiers hid directly behind the female wall without the orders of the generals.

After the Jizhou army after successive wars, there are more recruits in the army, these soldiers, just after some training, are unfamiliar with the situation on the battlefield, many defenders saw the boulder smashed, directly stuck on the city wall, although I heard that the thunderbolt can throw the boulder on the city wall, hearing and really seeing are two different things.

"Dodge!" Guo Yuan hurriedly ordered.

After several boulder attacks, Guo Yuan couldn't sit still, there were more than 20 thunderbolts in the city, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the Youzhou army outside the city.

At this time, Guo Yuan's mood is the same as Zhang Yan's mood in Julu City, Zhang Yan's thieves, under such an offensive of the Jizhou army, showing a defeat, the thieves are thieves after all, they have a big gap compared with the formally trained soldiers, when they gain an advantage, they may be brave soldiers, once the army shows defeat, they may run away.

Zhang Yan ordered with a cold face: "But there are those who retreat from the battle, behead!" ”

The bloody killing of Zhang Yan's personal guards gradually stabilized the city wall, and he had already received the news that the Youzhou army was attacking Zhongshan, as long as the Youzhou army was freed up, this war would be their victory.

At this time, although the Jizhou army outside the city has 8,000 people, if they want to break through the giant deer, it is not possible to complete it in a short time, no matter how fierce the Jizhou army's boulder offensive is, after all, there will be a time to stop, they have the advantage of terrain, and they are definitely a huge threat to the Jizhou army.

When the family in the city attacked the city in Jizhou, there were many small actions in secret, and Zhang Yan knew these Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan's methods to deal with these families were extremely bloody, but whenever they found that there were abnormal movements, they were all over the house, under such a strong means, Brother Chen, your family was more cautious, and no one wanted to die in the hands of Zhang Yan like this.

Zhao Rui is the main general of this attack on Julu, seeing that Julu has not been captured for a long time, and the Youzhou army has entered the territory of Zhongshan, he is very anxious, he is very puzzled, what is the use of these thieves occupying Julu.
