Chapter 166: The Terror Catapult
Zhao Yue is not like Zhang Duan, he led the soldiers to the city gate, saw Zhang Liao leading the troops to guard the gate, and rode forward to fight with Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's spear scattered some soldiers, the tip of the spear turned and swirled, and stabbed Zhao Yue's heart.
"It's really amazing, there are so many capable people serving Wang Yun under Lu Bu's command!" Zhao Yue, who saw Zhang Liao's martial arts, praised from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly avoided the past and fled.
Zhang Liao knew Zhao Yue's identity, and when he saw that he was invincible and fleeing, he hurriedly led his troops to chase after him, wanting to capture the thief and capture the king first. Zhao Yue fought and retreated, leading it to his own sea of soldiers, Wang Jian and Cao Ping each killed from one side, and Zhang Liao, who was killed, was caught off guard.
Looking at the people coming from both directions, and gradually being outflanked by the enemy, Zhang Liao's face was full of resentment, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes, and he said with regret: "It was my carelessness, I drove straight in, and I was plotted by you and others!" ”
The heavily armored general straightened his helmet, his face covered in dust and sweat, and he turned his horse's head to return to the city, ignoring the blood from the tip of his spear.
Cao Ping blocked the way with a gun, Wang Jian slashed from the back with a big knife, Zhang Liao's eyes were panicked, and he hurriedly reflexively raised his gun to block; At this moment, Cao Ping's eyes were sharp, and he stabbed the gun out with all his might, pointing it directly at Zhang Liao's chest.
After all, Zhang Liao is outstanding in martial arts and reacts quickly, and when he found Cao Ping's movements, he immediately pulled out his left hand and held the tip of the gun, and blood oozed out of his palm instantly, and the tip of the gun was also pressed down by Zhang Liao from the height of his chest to his waist and abdomen.
Zhang Liao was sweating profusely, and at this time he twisted his body and sat on the horse, not only to compete with Wang Qian's big knife, but also to use his left hand to stop Cao Ping's attack in front.
No matter how superb Zhang Liao's martial arts are. Strength no matter how to fight, with one hand. It was also difficult to resist Cao Ping's weapons clenched in both hands, and Cao Ping said in his mouth: "You are an iron-clad man." It's a pity to follow the wrong person! With that, he stabbed the tip of the spear into Zhang Liao's waist with both hands.
Zhang Liao screamed, his right arm was weak, and he was hit in the arm by Wang Qian's big knife, and the whole person fell off the horse, life and death were uncertain, only Cao Ping's sharp-eyed soldiers tied up with ropes, ready to ask for rewards after the war.
Lu Bu looked at the ground from the city wall. Seeing that Zhang Liao was seriously injured and tied up, he began to blame himself in his heart, he should not send people out of the city, but should only stick to the city gate. At this time, he handed over Fang Tian's halberd to the servants, personally carried the bow into battle, stepped on the gap between the bricks of the city tower, and bent the bow and arrows.
I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow broke through the air. flew straight towards Zhang Duan, who was carrying a gun and comparing with the remnants led by Zhang Liao, he heard the sound of the bow on the left, and he didn't have time to look. Quickly press your body against the horse's back, with your belly pressed against the horse's mane.
I saw that the bow and arrow flew straight against his back, and shot through the left leg of the soldier who was carrying the flag for Zhang Duan. The soldier screamed in pain and fell from his horse with the flag in his hand. He landed on the neck and was killed instantly.
Zhang Duan looked back at the city. Lu Bu had already set up an arrow again, wanting to shoot him, he was furious, looked back at the formation, and shouted: "Where are the crossbowmen in the army who are good at shooting? Come out for me, return fire with bows and arrows, and shoot the archers on the tower! ”
Hearing this, the coalition army hurriedly highlighted a well-dressed soldier with a longbow and a quiver on his back, who bent their bows in unison, set up arrows, and then shot extremely lethal arrows.
These feathered arrows followed the sound of the wind through the battlefield, and although some of them fell to the city due to lack of strength, most of them were shot at the castle tower. Many Han soldiers who were preparing to throw stones and arrows on the main floor were hit by arrows, and some of them were shot straight into their brains!
Seeing this, Lu Bu was about to give an order, when he suddenly saw a flying arrow looking at him, he dodged it sideways, and the arrow shot into the pillar of the city tower behind him, making a muffled sound.
"Damn, the soldiers defending the city obey the order, shoot the crossbowmen on the opposite side for me first!" Lu Bu shouted, and immediately aimed his bow and arrow at the archers in the Zhang Duan's army who had no cover, and an arrow flew by, ending a life in an instant. Seeing this, the rest of the Han army's city guards also fired thousands of arrows, and the crossbowmen in Zhang Duan's army suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Zhao Yue hurriedly ordered: "Cao Ping, you lead the men and horses of your headquarters, holding shields, and act as escorts for the group of crossbowmen, Wang Qian, order the front army to slow down the attack, and the ladder and the rushing cart should not be used again, and push up the catapult brought from Luoyang on this expedition!" ”
After the archers shot a wave of flying arrows, they turned around and crouched within the protective range of the shields, and then got up and shot hard, protecting their own safety.
The catapult was pushed up by the swaying and leisurely, which was a sketch of the siege mechanism drawn by the idiot, and the craftsmen of Luoyang worked day and night to create it.
Lu Bu and the generals guarding the city didn't know what it was, and when they were still looking at the big guy in a daze, one after another boulders roared down, and one fell next to Lu Bu, smashing the city wall out of a pit, making a huge noise, fortunately Lu Bu hid quickly, otherwise his head would have been smashed into flesh!
And that's not all, but instead of a huge rock, a flaming fireball flew over it!
Zhao Yue ordered someone to wrap the outside of the boulder with quilts, cloth and other things, and then poured wine on it, and then lit it with fire, and then threw it, which undoubtedly made the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower feel what hell on earth is.
Many people were hit by large rocks in their arms and legs, and the sound of bones breaking could still be clearly heard, and the sound of tearing pain that erupted immediately, even if some people dodged, the burning flames made their uniforms instantly catch fire, and they had to roll on the ground in pain.
This scene greatly boosted the morale of the whole army, but they were afraid of being affected, so the soldiers retreated to a certain distance, only waiting for the soldiers on the tower to be killed or wounded before making the next charge.
Jia Xu stood alone on the wooden tower of the big camp, stroked his beard with his hands, squinted his eyes at this breathtaking scene, and said in his mouth: "The talent of the idiot is really terrifying, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I am afraid that no one can stand out...... It is also incredible that Zhao Yue can achieve such an achievement from a small soldier. When I saw it today, I finally understood the reason, alas......"
In Lu Bu's mansion, Diao Chan was arguing with a group of maids.
"Madam, you must not go, at this time the city tower is very dangerous, on the street, even the people are hiding in their homes, not daring to go out half a step, before you ran to the city wall to reinforce, General Lu has already scolded us heavily." The maids bowed their heads and said humbly.
"How can I not go, my family and country are in danger, Lord Fengxian is in danger, and the Han Dynasty is about to fail, and my father-in-law is also in danger, if I don't go, when the city is broken, wouldn't it be a ****?" Diao Chan was a little discolored, she was worried about Lu Bu, and said that she would go to the east gate to have a look. (To be continued.) )
