Chapter 440: Run!
There was a blood-red in his eyes, and the killing intent in Ao Lie's heart rose to the sky: "Raze Wei County to this king!" ”
More than 100,000 soldiers of the Han army immediately raised their weapons in their hands, roared hoarsely in unison, and rushed towards Wei Cheng to kill them. When they were a hundred steps away from Wei City, the Han army stopped, and the neat battle formation suddenly cracked like a wave, and in the middle of the Han army, two hundred angular red-coated ballistas and three hundred thunderbolts showed their fangs to Wei City.
At the head of the city, Cao Cao's complexion changed greatly, he knew the power of the red-clothed ballista and the thunderbolt, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly gather the soldiers to go to the city to set up defenses!" Fast! Li Jin, who was guarding Cao Cao's side, immediately turned around and walked quickly down the city to gather the Cao army soldiers who had been waiting for him, and the other tiger general Yue Xi moved to the rungs in front of Cao Cao, holding a double-edged halberd diagonally in front of Cao Cao. The few more than 1,000 tiger guards on the head of the city drew their swords one after another, surrounded Cao Cao, and surrounded Cao Cao in the center.
Zheng Zheng –
Bang Bang –
Before a large number of Cao's troops rushed to the city, the red-clothed ballistas and thunderbolts in the Han army's formation had already opened fire on all fronts, and the place where the firepower was most concentrated was in the direction where Cao Cao was located.
Because there were too few Cao troops in the city, the Han soldiers who operated the thunderbolt carts did not get the order to put the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers, but threw stones weighing dozens of catties one by one. Thousands of red-clothed crossbows and hundreds of boulders roared down towards the city, with the sound of breaking wind.
Yue Xi roared loudly and danced the double-bladed halberd in his hand to the extreme. A layer of strict halberd shadow was laid in front of him, and Cao Cao was protected behind him impenetrably. The Red-Coated Arbalest and Thunderbolt, while accurate, are only relative. After all, these two big killers are made of machinery, and no matter how accurate the machinery is, there will be errors, and with their huge size, it is quite amazing that they can reduce the error to within five steps of the target, not to mention that not all red-clothed ballistas and thunderbolts. They are all aimed at Cao Cao. Therefore, there were not too many red-clothed crossbows and boulders that Yue Xi needed to block, after blocking five red-clothed crossbows and six boulders one after another. Yue Xi's strength had been completely consumed, and he couldn't raise any more strength, panting and sitting on the ground. Fortunately, Li Jin rushed back in time, after Yuexi. He swung the three-pointed, two-edged knife again. blocked several crossbows and several boulders one after another, and finally temporarily resolved the crisis and saved Cao Cao's life.
Li Jin and Yue Xi's ability, Cao Cao is very clear, the two of them are the most outstanding martial arts and the most powerful tiger generals in the Cao army's array, seeing that they combined the strength of the two, but only barely blocked a dozen crossbows and a few boulders, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly feel frightened. It seems that he still underestimated the power of the red-clad ballista and the thunderbolt, two weapons of great destruction. It is no longer possible to resist it with manpower, fortunately, Li Jin and Yue Xi are extremely physically strong, otherwise, the current Cao Cao would already be a dead corpse.
Raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Cao Cao pretended to be calm and retreated backwards for a distance, and said to Xiahoudun and others who rushed to the city: "Hurry up and set up defenses, don't let the sharp weapons of the Han army suppress the city, go quickly!" Xiahoudun did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded his soldiers to hang layers of heavy cowhide and large shields on the head of the city, trying to block the red-clothed crossbows and thunderbolts of the Han army.
Seeing a large number of Cao troops rushing on the city, Ao Lie's reddened eyes burst out with a cold light, and he gave an order loudly: "The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers and prepares to carry out an indiscriminate attack on the Cao army on the city!" Until all the Celestial Maidens are used up! "When attacking Yizhou, Ao Lie deliberately asked Wang Hun, Ma Jun and others to hurry up to make a lot of Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, and later consumed some when fighting Hanzhong and Jia Mengguan, and most of the remaining half were brought back by Ao Lie, and now, Ao Lie decided to use these amazing Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers as a stepping stone to knock on Wei City, and gave Cao Cao a lesson.
The veteran Huang Zhong rode his horse to the camp of the ballista gunners and loudly conveyed Ao Lie's orders one by one to every gunner who operated the thunderbolt. Three hundred large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers were loaded into the cannon tip of the Thunderbolt as quickly as possible, and then were ejected in the shortest possible time.
Three hundred large celestial maidens the size of millstones flew into the air with a roar, bringing up a parabola in the air, and then smashed down towards the head of Wei City.
As soon as it landed, the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flower erupted into a violent explosion, and each Celestial Maiden Scattered Flower was blown into thousands of fist-sized pieces of iron, scattering in all directions, enveloping the distance within fifty steps of the explosion point. Under the action of the explosive force, the iron armor on the Cao army's soldiers was pierced, the body of the Cao army's soldiers was pierced, and a bead of blood was brought up, taking the lives of a large number of Cao soldiers, so that the Cao army on the city head fell in batches in a pool of blood like leeks that had been cut down.
In just one round of invasion, 300 large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers took the lives of nearly 10,000 Cao soldiers, and this brilliant result made Cao Cao feel desperate again. Science and technology is the primary productive force, although Cao Cao has not heard this sentence, but he understands this truth very well, used on the battlefield, this sentence is also applicable, advanced weapons, is often an important factor in determining victory or defeat, backwardness will be beaten, this is the inevitable law of historical development.
If advanced weapons are the core, supplemented by conventional weapons, the lethality will be even more terrifying. In the Han army array, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun took the 20,000 elites of their respective subordinates, and began to intersperse them on both sides around Wei City.
Lu Bu bent his bow and arrows, aimed at a general of the Cao army at the head of the city, and shouted angrily: "Medium! With Lu Bu's angry shout, the wolf's tooth arrow he put on the string brought up an afterimage, and shot quickly towards the city, accurately piercing the throat of the Cao army general who was locked by Lu Bu, and the Cao army general didn't even have time to snort, so he cut off all life, fell from the city wall, and fell into a meat pie.
After an arrow was raised, Lu Bu raised his voice and shouted: "Long Xiang belongs, raise the bow!" The 20,000 dragon horsemen raised their riding bows while shouting: "The wrath of the dragon is not retreating!" ”
On the other side, Zhao Yun also shot down a general of the Cao army, and then shouted the words with the same content as Lu Bu: "Blood kills, raise the bow!" Behind Zhao Yun, 20,000 bloody slaughters immediately raised their riding bows at the same time, and roared angrily in the sky: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" ”
Driven by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, 40,000 elite longitudinal horses galloped in two directions, pulled out sharp arrows and put them on the bowstring in the gallop, pedaled hard on the bilateral stirrups with their legs, left the saddle with their buttocks, stood upright on the horseback, and then maintained the stability of their bodies, pulled the bowstring on the high-speed running warhorse, and shot out the sharp arrows on the bowstring.
Run! It's a rush! It is the riding and archery skills of the Huns who are rampant in the world! In today's world, only the Huns can freely use this kind of cavalry that is difficult for ordinary people to do, Cao Cao categorically did not expect that in the Han army array, there would be a scene of 40,000 people running at the same time! This kind of scene is rare to see in decades!
The Huns claim to be a people who live on horseback and live with horses all year round, but even so, among the Huns, there will never be more than 40,000 people who can shoot on horseback! Although Ao Lie has subdued the Huns and sinicized them, it is obvious that the 40,000 elite soldiers who are now shooting are not the Huns, that is to say, Ao Lie can easily mobilize at least 80,000 elite cavalry who can carry out the difficult riding and archery skills of running and shooting!
Eighty thousand! What a concept! Cao Cao didn't even dare to think that one day, there would be a cavalry team under his command that could shoot at all, even if it was the tiger and leopard cavalry that had been disabled by the Long Xiang heavy cavalry led by Lu Bu. Ao Lie, on the other hand, did this easily. What shocked Cao Cao even more was that among the 40,000 elites led by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, some of them could even shoot two arrows with one arrow under the difficult action of running, on the premise of ensuring accuracy, and they could shoot two sharp arrows aimed at two different targets with just one pull of the bowstring! Cao Cao has led troops for more than ten years, and he has never seen such an elite soldier! The shock in his heart had reached the point of no return. In the past, he had only heard about how the four elites of the Northern Han Dynasty were good, but it was not until today, when Cao Cao became Ao Lie's opponent, that he truly realized the horror of these four elites.
What Cao Cao didn't know was that in order to train their running skills, how much sweat and how many injuries they had suffered in the Hundred Battles Blood Kill and Long Xiang Heavy Cavalry, they had fallen heavily from the horse to the ground countless times, but they insisted on getting up countless times, turning over the horse again, and continuing to practice galloping, and the reason why they were able to stage this shocking scene today was because they had paid much more sweat than ordinary people behind their backs! Coupled with the auxiliary role of the Three Treasures that Ao Lie researched, they were able to achieve what they are today. God's reward for hard work, coupled with a little outside help or luck, is the most fundamental factor for these elite soldiers to achieve glory.
Nearly 50,000 sharp arrows flew into the sky, gathered towards the head of Wei City from two directions, and after reaching the apex of the parabola, they fell headlong, flashing with a striking edge, and shot down at the head of Cao's army on the head of the city.
"Hurry, hurry! Protect the King! Xiahou shouted hoarsely, and regardless of the attack of the rain of arrows, he snatched the round shield from the hands of a Cao soldier and came to Cao Cao's side, holding the round shield high above the top, making the first line of protection for Cao Cao. Under Xiahoudun's shout, hundreds of Cao soldiers quickly gathered around Cao Cao and raised the shield in their hands at an oblique angle, forming a shield array to protect Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who was hiding under the shield array, only heard a crackling sound in his ears, and the dense rain of arrows of the Han army kept hitting the shields in the hands of his soldiers, and one after another screams sounded at the same time.
Cao Cao knew that under this unexpected round of the Han army, there would be many soldiers under his command who would leave him forever...... (To be continued......)
