One hundred and forty-five Yokoe shooters

Cao's movements were so fast that the trench-filling carts and sluggers were pushed to the edge of the moat, and huge baffles were erected, covered with thick raw cowhides, and the oblique baffles could block the arrows shot from the city's head, and tens of thousands of people tirelessly carried bags full of sand and gravel into the moat under the protection of the army. Using the cover of the bow and crossbow on the rushing car, the Wu army on the wall could only throw and could not see the situation in the distance at all, even if it was suppressed by long arrows, it could not effectively kill and injure the people who carried the mud bags.

Sun Shao took a few bites of the dry cake fiercely, took the rest in his arms, glanced at Zhou Tai, who was also in the distance, and raised his left hand silently.

The war drums suddenly sounded from the city, without a single sign, a sporadic rain of arrows fell from the city, and rushed to the Cao army's array, the soldiers who had been in the battle formation for a long time heard the whistling sound of the arrow rain breaking through the air, and raised the shield in their hands with a brush, and the infantry captain of the forward army shouted "raise the shield", with a bang, one shield suddenly stood in front of the soldiers, and the people who carried the sand and gravel on the side hid behind the shield in fear, and the clanging sound was chaotic, occasionally mixed with a few painful moans, More than a dozen people were wounded by sharp arrows due to the lack of strong protection, and their groans of pain were miserable and sad.

Xiahoudun, the general of the Cao army, stationed on the slope of the horse to watch the battle, Xiahoudun had a face of Chinese characters, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his beard grew on the lower forehead like a steel needle, strong and powerful, a tiger's eyes were closed forever, but his remaining eyes were still blazing, heroic and dry, behind him, a black Daxu towered straight into the clouds, and the huge Cao Zi on the black flag looked down at the busy crowd, accompanied by a strong wind, Daxu opened his teeth and claws, as if urging the soldiers to move forward.

"Roar!" The scattered arrows of the Wu army could not effectively kill the Cao army at all, Sun Shao looked weakly at the rushing car as it got closer and closer, and the Cao army under the city tower was moving forward with a cloud ladder.

"Rolling logs! Golden water! Sun Shao roared, and countless Wu soldiers poured down the things that had been prepared for a long time into the city.

The so-called gold water is to boil the stool in boiling water. This thing is splashed on people's bodies like maggots on the tarsal bones, which can directly corrode people's skin, because stool is also called gold, so it gets its name, and it is an extremely disgusting thing. But this disgusting thing is a big killer for the defenders. This thing, unlike rolling logs and arrows, only needs to be stocked, as long as there are people, he is inexhaustible.

Ha! There was a shout, and the Wu army carried a huge pot and poured disgusting gold water down the city, and suddenly a foul smell hit, accompanied by Cao Jun's screams.

The soldiers who "killed" the city defenders were pressed hard, and at this time, a wave of anger was condensed on the arrows, and the arrows rained down head-on. Even Sun Shao and Zhou Tai are no exception.

"Shield, raise shield!" Shengcheng Governor Lejin shouted loudly. At the same time, the guards beside him had already blocked in front of Le Jin, and one shield blocked Han Hao's front from the airtight.

"Get out of here, a bunch of waste, so far away, I'm afraid I'll be shot to death!" The guards didn't say anything, they still stood guard tightly in front of Le Jin, as guards, if the Lord was going to die, then they were also dying. The purpose of their existence is to protect the safety of the general.

A sharp arrow pierced into the shield, and several poorly protected soldiers were mercilessly attacked, and the sharp arrows pierced into their bodies mercilessly, plunging into the flesh, and the cold arrows ruthlessly destroyed the fragile lives of human beings.

If it weren't for Le Jin, he would have been on the front line all night, and his reputation that Lejin must be the first to go in every battle is not blown.

"Crossbow array ready! Put! Le Jin roared, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

Xiahoudun took great pains to capture Liyang, and even used the crossbow, which was different from the crossbow used by the Wu army, and the crossbow of the Cao army was a crossbow at the end of the foot, with a range of up to three hundred steps (that is, about two hundred and sixty meters), such a powerful range is the king of weapons that a single person can make.

"Click, click...", a series of voices rang out, and countless ladders were erected on the city wall.

Under the city, under the cover of crossbow arrows, Cao's army began to storm the city wall, and not far away, a giant chariot covered with raw cowhide began to mercilessly storm the city gate. Under the cover, they began to storm the city wall, and not far away, a giant rushing car covered with raw cowhide began to mercilessly storm the city gate.

Last night, Yu Ban, who had originally withdrawn the army, always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the context, so he finally had to order: "Come on, go to the Wu military camp to investigate quickly!" ”

"Why, Wen Ze. But what's wrong? Mao Jue, who was riding a war horse on the side, asked, he and Yu Ban were good friends, so there was no taboo about asking.

Yu Ban touched his short beard and said: "I can't say why, but I always feel a little strange!" ”

"It's okay, it won't take a few moments to call a few scouts to explore Huang Zhong's old man's camp."

This is really true, Cao Jun's scouts are all riding tall Xiliang horses, and their explosive power and strong endurance are also excellent, and it is not a problem to travel 600 miles.

In less than half an hour, the scout finally turned around, but with a piece of bad news. "General, there is no one left in the Wu military camp!"

"Suffered!" Mao Jue's heart was cold for a while, he boasted of his resourcefulness but didn't want to be deceived by a veteran.

Yu Ban didn't expect such a result, at this moment he only said: "It seems that Huang Zhong rushed to Hengjiang overnight!" ”

Mao Jue also said: "It is only three hours from Jilong Mountain to Hengjiang, and it only takes one hour from Hengjiang Water Village to Liyang. In this way, there is no accident, and Huang Zhong will be able to lead the army to Liyang at noon. ”

"Wrong, Huang Zhong is afraid that he has been gone for an hour! As soon as our ambush army withdrew, I am afraid that Huang Zhong has already gone south, and I am afraid that he is almost to Hengjiang at this moment. Yu Ban is worthy of being a famous general, and his mind is still clear at this moment.

At this time, Lu Xiang, who had never spoken to him, suddenly yelled: "It's happened!" Zhengdong is preparing to forcibly attack the city early tomorrow morning, if Huang Zhong's 5,000 reinforcements arrive, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Just as Qiao Ren worked extensively in Shouchun, Xiahoudun also had a lot of secret posts in Hefei. Huang Zhongshan shot his subordinates mainly archers and Pu sword soldiers, of which 800 Pu sword soldiers were very elite, and there were 2,000 archers with the number of Hengjiang archers. They are called Yokoe shooters, not because they are from Yokoe, but because they can shoot Yokoe. These archers were selected by Sun Ce from a selection of 100,000 Wu soldiers who were good at archery, trained by Huang Zhong, and when they arrived in Huainan, Qiao Ren was equipped with the Wu longbow he made in imitation of the English longbow. The use of high-quality yew wood, the front part of the bow frame is arc-shaped, the back is flat, the total length of eight feet (about one meter eight), which is almost higher than people in the late Han Dynasty or modern times, the longest range can reach six hundred steps (about three hundred and sixty meters), twice as far as Cao Jun's crossbow, plus the Huainan Wu Army uses Mitsubishi arrows, so it is not an exaggeration to call Hengjiang such an attack range.

Lu Xiang has reason to believe that such a long-distance ace attack team will appear at the head of Liyang City.
