Chapter 102: The East Wind Breaks, and the Flowers Remain (1)

Seeing the order from the standard-bearer, Shi Jian understood what Ao Lie meant. Don't say it's Ao Lie, even Shi Lian himself, he can't wait to put the arrow tower into the battlefield immediately, the brothers in front are bleeding, facing death at all times, Shi Lian knows how much they need their own support, but the arrow tower is a huge big guy, driven by manpower alone, the movement speed is too slow, and some can't keep up with the rhythm of the battle.

Seeing that the soldiers on the ladder were smashed down one after another, Shi Lian's eyes turned red, and he shouted angrily at the soldiers around him: "All of them will go up to push the arrow tower for me, and push it until it is fifty steps away from Yuyang City, hurry up." "Now Shi Jian doesn't care if he has a personal guard to protect him, if he doesn't have to receive Ao Lie's order, I'm afraid he will have to get off the horse and personally push the arrow tower. Under Shi Lian's continuous urging, nearly a thousand sergeants exerted their strength to feed and desperately pushed the arrow tower forward.

Jia Xu whispered to Ao Lie: "My lord, the Yuyang city wall is seven zhang high, and the middle and lower layers of the arrow tower are useless, but it will increase the weight of the arrow tower and slow down the movement speed. Jia Xu's character of being good at self-preservation is deep-rooted, even in such a fierce battlefield, he only speaks for seven points, leaving three points for Ao Lie to think.

"Huh? Good idea. "Who is Ao Lie? immediately understood what Jia Xu meant. The arrow tower in the Ao Lie Army is nine zhang high, every three zhang is a layer, a total of three floors, and each floor has a platform for soldiers to stand on. Yuyang's city wall is seven zhang high, which means that the archers on the middle and lower floors of the arrow tower have no conditions to play a role at all, rather than standing on the arrow tower to increase the weight, it is better to let them come down and support the troops in front of Pang De on foot, so that the weight of the arrow tower will be greatly reduced, and the movement speed will become much faster.

After a little thought about this question in Ao Lie's mind, he had already thought through it, and hurriedly told the standard-bearer to convey the order to Shi Lian.

Seeing the flag from Ao Lie's Central Army, Shi Jian was a rough man, and while directing the archers on the upper, middle and lower floors of the arrow tower to walk down the arrow tower, he thought about Ao Lie's intentions. After only the archers on the top floor were left on the arrow tower, the movement speed of the entire arrow tower suddenly increased a lot, and seeing the running speed of the arrow tower as if it had taken a stimulant, Shi Jian reacted.

Soon, the arrow tower was pushed to a distance of fifty steps from Yuyang City, and as soon as the soldiers pushing the arrow tower stopped the arrow tower, Shi Jian couldn't wait to shout: "Strafe!" Shoot me! Shoot hard! Hearing Shi Lian's roar, the archers on the arrow tower didn't have time to think carefully about the language in Shi Lian's words, and they all raised their longbows that had already been set up with arrows, and shot towards the head of Yuyang City with a little aim.

As early as when the arrow tower first appeared, the rebels at the head of Yuyang City were already frightened, of course they knew that it was the arrow tower, and naturally they also knew that the arrow tower was one of the big killers in the siege, but no one had ever seen a moving arrow tower, and there were still so many people standing on the arrow tower! They really couldn't understand how Ao Lie did it. The unknown is always scary. As soon as the arrow tower commanded by Shi Jian entered the battlefield, it caused huge psychological pressure on the rebels.

After Shi Jian gave the order, as the bowstring vibrated and made a series of Peng Peng sounds, the rebels finally determined that these big ones outside the city that could move were undoubtedly arrow towers. The so-called condescending, the archers of the Han army standing on the arrow tower were two feet higher than the rebels at the head of the city, and with the advantage of being high, thousands of arrows were shot into the air like clods of soil that did not need money, drawing an arc in the air, and then falling towards the rebels on the head of the city. In an instant, the arrows that covered the sky blocked the fierce midday sun, forming a dark cloud at the head of Yuyang City.

"Oh my God, run—"

"Damn, find cover!"

"What about the shield, where is my shield? What can I do?"

The rebels at the head of the city witnessed the volley of nearly a thousand archers on the arrow tower, and immediately fell into a desperate panic. To say that the salvo of a thousand people originally posed no threat at all on such a large battlefield, but the archers on the arrow tower of the Han army were carefully selected by Ao Lie among the 100,000 male soldiers, and on the premise of not requiring accuracy, each of them could shoot two arrows with one stone, and only one stroke of the bowstring could shoot two arrows. Although this greatly reduced their accuracy, in the crowded Yuyang City, tens of thousands of rebels were crowded together, and they didn't need to aim at all, as long as they found the right direction, they could always gain something. On the other hand, the arrow tower that has been transformed by Ao Lie has exceeded the prediction in the hearts of the rebels, infinitely magnified the fear in the hearts of the rebels, and has already defeated the rebels psychologically.

Puff puff –

Thousands of arrows fell without delay in the despair of the rebels, and the sharp arrows drove the shafts of the arrows, and they plunged into the bodies of the rebels, bringing a slick of blood. Just this round of volleys almost broke through the rebels' defenses, making Pang De's department, who was climbing on the ladder, suddenly feel a sense of relief, and took the opportunity to speed up the climb.

Seeing that a wave of arrow rain worked, Shi Lian's somewhat ugly face finally had a look of satisfaction, and then his head became clear, and he hurriedly ordered: "Another thousand people will go up and stand in the middle of the arrow tower to shoot, and the people on the top floor will shoot down instead." Immediately a thousand archers stepped forward, climbed up to the middle level of the tower, and began to shoot at the head of the city, which was only a foot higher than the middle level of the tower where they were.

When Pang De saw that Shi Jian suppressed the rebels at the head of the city, just like when he attacked Yongnu City, he immediately ripped off the cloak behind his back, raised his steel knife and shouted angrily: "Meritorious service is in the present dynasty, brothers follow so-and-so!" After saying that, he rushed forward first. The soldiers who followed Pound were infected by Pound's bravery, roared and raised their weapons, and followed closely behind Pound.

At a distance of fifty paces, Pound quickly rushed over. Coming to a ladder, Pound bit the steel knife to his mouth, grabbed the ladder with both hands, and climbed towards the city. Seeing that the main general was fighting bravely, the emotions of the soldiers under Pang De's department were immediately aroused, and they crawled towards the city even more desperately, lest they fall behind the robe.

Huang Zhong, who was between the advance of Pound's department and Ao Lie's Chinese army, keenly saw Pound's figure climbing on the ladder, worried that Pound would lose, and immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot sharply at the city wall at the end of the ladder where Pound was located, and shouted at the same time: "Everyone look carefully, carry out a precise attack on the head of the city, and shoot immediately if a rebel army comes up!" The five thousand archers under Huang Zhong's command immediately raised their spirits and stared at the city one by one, waiting for the prey that was about to appear. As soon as a rebel shows his head on the city wall, he will immediately become their dead spirit.

With the suppression of the arrow tower and Huang Zhong's troops, the Han army finally reached the top of the city sporadically. Although the rebels were suppressed and did not dare to show their heads, they still showed a certain amount of bravery in the face of the Han army who climbed the city wall. Led by Zhang Ju's die-hard soldiers, the rebels rushed over like a tidal wave, hacking all the scattered Han troops to the ground.

A spark can start a prairie fire. Although the sporadic Han troops could not open the gap after climbing to the top of the city, there were dozens of ladders on which the Han army struggled to climb to the top of the city, and fiercely engaged with the rebels at the head of the city. As the Han army landed in the city, Shi Jian once again stopped the scattering of the arrow tower, for the same reason as the stone thrower, he didn't want to accidentally injure the robe.

In front of him, Pang De finally climbed to the top of the city, and the first thing that entered his line of sight were dozens of corpses piled up by the city wall, the corpses of the Han army, and the corpses of his subordinates. Most of the Han troops who had ascended to the top of the city had been hacked to death by the rebels, and each corpse had at least three or five fatal wounds.

Looking at the unshapedly corpses of these robes being trampled, Pang De was stunned with anger, reached out and took the steel knife that bit his mouth, and shouted angrily towards the rebels. Pang De is very famous in Xiliang, but in Youzhou, there are not many people who know Pang De, so more than a dozen rebels habitually want to hack Pang De to death like the previous Han army. But Pound is Pound after all, not a pawn can be compared. Facing the besieging rebels, Pang De snorted coldly, and waved the steel knife in his hand, making a very mysterious arc. With two snorts, where Pound's steel knife passed, the heads of the two rebels landed, and the heads after landing still had a blank look on their faces, obviously not understanding that they had been in a different place, which shows how fast Pound's knife was.

It wasn't until Pound turned around to kill the next target that the severed neck of the headless corpse that he cut off with a knife spurted out a stream of red blood.

"Uh" Pound shook the besieging rebels with a knife, and more than a dozen rebels looked at the situation in front of them in amazement, and subconsciously stopped the pace of surrounding Pound. They stopped, but Pound did not stop, and rushed forward quickly, a cold light flashed, and another rebel became Pound's ghost. Immediately after a step, Pound dodged to the side of the two rebels, and while passing quickly, the steel knife in his hand slashed, and under the action of the sharp blade, the throats of the two rebels were cut by Pound, and blood kept spraying out along the exposed trachea.

Then, Pound went on to the next rebel closest to him, and then, next

In the time of half a burnt incense, Pound had already killed and was covered in blood, and the rebels who died under his knife had reached more than 30 people. Pound's whole body was covered with the blood of the rebels, as if he had become a demon crawling out of hell. No, it's not as if, in the eyes of the rebels, Pound at this moment is a demon! Devil who is asking for his life!

A rebel general saw that Pound was brave and bullied Pound with only a sword in his hand and no long-handled weapon, and after shouting, he danced the spear in his hand and killed Pound. The grim look on Pound's face remained unchanged, and he was not afraid at all because the other party was in possession of the convenience of the weapon, and the steel knife took the remnant of the Dao under Pound's dance, and met the spear of the rebel general.

Bell –

Click-

Two voices rang out one after the other.

Although the weapon in Pound's hand was a one-handed steel knife, it was extremely heavy and extremely sharp. The first sound was that Pound relied on his own strength and the weight of the steel knife to forcibly knock away the rebel's spear, and then Pound took advantage of the wrong moment, and waved a knife with his backhand, relying on the sharpness of the steel knife, he actually cut off the handle of the rebel general's gun with a knife.

At this time, Ao Lie's various benefits to his subordinates were shown, Ao Lie's welfare treatment of his subordinates was really nothing, not to mention that the military salary was twice as much as that of other places, and the main generals could also get Ao Lie's reward - those divine weapons taken out of the secret treasure of light and martial arts, even if they were generals with poor status, Ao Lie would also order the blacksmith to tailor weapons for them. Pang De's Eight Great Blades were originally given to him by Ao Lie in the Guangwu Secret Treasure. However, because it was inconvenient to go to the city, Pang De did not bring the eighth-level broadsword with him, and the steel knife he used now was the same as the weapons of those generals under Ao Lie's command, which were carefully crafted by Ao Lie's people, because Pang De had an eighth-level broadsword, so he chose a single knife. Today, it was with the sharpness of this single knife that Pound easily cut off the gun of the rebel general.

The rebel looked down at the spear in his hand, which had been cut in two, and his face was full of consternation. Of course, he knows his own weapon very well, although this spear is not a sharp weapon, but the selection of materials is also excellent, the barrel is made of good hardwood soaked in oil, elasticity and toughness are not said, how can it be said that it will break?

Before the rebel could figure it out, Pound's knife slashed at him again, and in a panic, the rebel blocked it with half of his gun, trying to block Pound's knife. However, this time, he saw clearly, Pound's steel knife flashed with a sharp cold light, and it broke the barrel of the gun in his hand in one fell swoop, as simple as cutting tofu, and then, he saw the blade slashing straight towards the top of his head, accompanied by severe pain, there was a sound of bones breaking in his ears, and he knew that he was finished, and he was slashed by Pound with a knife to smash the Tianling cover.

The last thought of the rebel before he died was: This knife is really sharp
