Ao Lie under the city saw that Yuan Shao had killed Feng Ji, and he knew that Yuan Shao had seen through his intentions, so he stopped the challenge, raised the overlord spear, pointed at the head of the city of Xinhe, and shouted: "Prepare to attack the city!" ”

In fact, Ao Lie is reluctant to launch a siege war, at the moment the Yuan army is demoralized, and trapped in Xinhe, as long as Ao Lie arranges the army outside the city and surrounds it for a few days, the Yuan army is easier to be defeated in the case of internal and external difficulties, but Ao Lie does not have that time, Cao Cao in the south has completed the counter-encirclement of the trial, and can swallow the trial of the troops at any time, and after the trial, Cao Cao will have no opponent in front of him, and he can drive straight into the counties and counties of Jizhou, in that case, it is inconsistent with Ao Lie's established policy, Ao Lie must fight to kill Yuan Shao before Cao Cao completely eliminates the trial, or send Yuan Shao back to Yecheng, and take the opportunity to occupy more Jizhou counties, so as to achieve the goal of squeezing Cao Cao's expansion in Jizhou.

But now is not a fighter, after four rounds of singles, the four Yuan generals were killed by Ao Lie, especially Chun Yuqiong's death was extremely bloody, which greatly shocked the courage of the Yuan army, and at the same time greatly boosted the morale of the Yan army and the Jiangdong army.

Riding his horse back to the main formation, Ao Lie said loudly: "Ballista, let Yuan Jun taste the taste of the red-clothed ballista first!" Following Ao Lie's order, the two thousand ballistae standing in the middle of the large array immediately tore off the red cloth covering the red-clothed ballistas, revealing a full hundred angular red-clothed ballistas inside! In order to forcibly attack the city and seize time this time, Ao Lie can be said to have made a bloody investment. A hundred red-clothed ballistas were used at one time, which was more than two-thirds of all numbers. The red-clothed ballista is not easy to make, the cost is extremely high, and Wang Hun and Ma Jun have only made less than 150 of them so far.

In a tooth-aching sound of string pulling, a hundred red-clothed ballistas were all ready, and the glittering crossbows pointed straight at the walls of Xinhe! In the Yuan army, there are not a few people who have learned the power of red-clothed ballistas. Seeing that the Yan army actually used a hundred red-clothed ballistas at one time. I couldn't help but shout in panic: "Oh my God, so many ballistas!" How should this be resisted? "You must know that in the past, every time the Yan army used red-clothed ballistas, there would not be more than twenty. But without exception, they all caused huge damage to the opponent. The lethality and deterrence of the red-coat ballista. It has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now seeing that there are a full hundred red-clothed ballistas ready to launch, how can it not make Yuan Jun's heart tremble?

The Overlord Spear slashed down on the Lun. Ao Lie shouted coldly: "Open the cannon!" The next moment, a thousand ballistae who were manipulating the red-clothed ballistas pulled the tips of the cannons without hesitation, and five hundred powerful crossbows of different sizes were shot into the sky in an instant, with a whistling sound that pierced the air, and shot towards the head of the city of Xinhe with boundless power.

Yuan Shao on the city wall was already cute, and it was the first time he had seen such a powerful crossbow being shot out in such a dense way. Originally, Yuan Shao only thought that Ao Lie didn't know where he got more than 20 of these terrible ballistas, although they were terrible, but after all, the number was limited, but now it seems that it is not the case at all, obviously this kind of irresistible ballista has been mass-produced in the Yan army. Seeing that Yuan Shao was in a stupor, the generals shouted loudly while dragging Yuan Shao behind the cover to dodge: "Sword and shield hand, raise the shield!" Raise your shield! ”

Yuan Shao, dragged by his generals, had just gone to the back of the bunker to hide, and the crossbow that broke through the air had already arrived!

Snatch - snatch - crackle -

One after another piercing sounds rang out incessantly, and the most rearly connected were in one piece, causing great damage to everything on the walls of the Xinhe wall. At the same time, the screams of Yuan Jun's men broke out instantly, and they kept ringing in Yuan Shao's ears. Those who didn't have time to rush behind the cover, even if they had a sword and shield to protect themselves, still couldn't escape the killing of the crossbow, the sword and shield in Yuan Jun's hand, in front of the powerful crossbow, was no different from the papier-mâché, they were pierced through the body by the crossbow one by one, and were firmly nailed to the passage within the city wall.

Fortunately, the red-clothed ballista of the Yan army this time was fired from a low place to a high place, so the method of projectile was adopted, losing the continuous penetration, and only a single body could be killed, after a round of shelling, only more than 400 people in the Yuan army were shot, although the number of dead was not much, but the power of the red-clothed ballista was still shocking, look at the crossbow that was as straight as a javelin in the city, and the crossbow body as thick as a child's arm made Yuan Jun dare not imagine what kind of strength could make these thick crossbow arrows span hundreds of steps. Instantly came to the city wall.

The results achieved by the red-clothed ballista this time were not too satisfactory to Ao Lie, but this was also expected by Ao Lie, after all, the power of projectile and dive firing is different, and it is impossible to achieve the same brilliant result as dive firing. Raising his hand, Ao Lie calmly ordered: "The red-clothed ballista continues to shoot, and the thunderbolt prepares!" ”

The 1,000 ballistae who had finished firing immediately retreated, turned around and prepared new crossbows, and the other 1,000 ballistae who were already waiting next to them quickly filled their positions, took over the control of the red-coat ballistas, quickly completed the loading, and then continued to shoot continuously at the head of the new river. The advantages of the red-clothed ballista were vividly reflected at this moment, and the effective range of up to 700 steps made Yuan Jun helpless. The Yuan army was the one defending the city, they were subject to the distance gap, and they could only be in a passive situation, after all, they could not move with the city, and the distance between the Yan army and Xinhe City was about five hundred steps, which became a moat that they could not attack.

Following the appearance of the red-clothed ballista, the thunderbolt cart improved by Wang Hun and Ma Jun was pushed out again, due to the huge size of the thunderbolt car, the production time is relatively long, it is inconvenient to carry and other reasons, so the Yan army is only equipped with a total of 50 thunderbolts, the bottom of these thunderbolt cars is installed pulleys, can move freely, pushed by 2,500 Yan troops, advanced forward about 200 steps, before stopping. The range of the Thunderbolt is not as good as that of the red-coated ballista, and the effective range is only more than 300 steps, so the Yan army that controls the Thunderbolt will push the Thunderbolt forward by 200 steps. But even so, the Thunderbolt was still about 300 steps away from New River City. Outside the range of Yuan's crossbows, there was no need to worry about the damage caused by Yuan's crossbows, and the Yuan's troops in the city continued to be in a state of embarrassment that they could only be beaten passively and had no power to fight back.

In the defense of Luoyang, Ao Lie used up all the small Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers that he had recently made as a prisoner, but a large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers was useless, and now, it was time for the large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers to show their power. The Yan army, who controlled the thunderbolt car, quickly installed a large celestial maiden scattered flower with a diameter of three feet on the cannon tip, and then combined the strength of fifty people to pull the rope that controlled the tension of the thunderbolt to the limit. Tie one end of the rope to the rear end of the bottom of the Thunderbolt. At the end of the day, a colonel drew his sword and slashed the rope that controlled the thunderbolt. Having lost the restraint of the rope, the Thunderbolt was pulled to the limit of the gun. Immediately under the action of great tension. Whirring and being ejected. When the gun tip and the entire body of the thunderbolt car reach a right angle of 90 degrees, a large celestial maiden installed in the gun tip scatters flowers. The hesitant cannonball was ejected from the cannonball and smashed towards the head of the new river.

Yuan Shao, who was hiding behind the bunker, saw forty or fifty large iron balls with a three-foot radius suddenly flying in the sky, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" Oversized iron gall? What's the use of this thing except being heavier? "Obviously, the world realm of the traverser is not so easy to understand, Yuan Shao's thinking, and Ao Lie's thinking are not at the same level at all. If Ao Lie's thinking is in the state of a college student in later generations, then Yuan Shao's thinking is at most similar to that of a little pot friend in kindergarten.

Yuan Shao's doubts did not last long, and the cruel reality ruthlessly told Yuan Shao that if he was backward, he would be beaten, and if he was ignorant, he would pay the price.

When fifty large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers fell on the city wall one after another, the inner enclosed filling was shocked and quickly ignited, which then caused a powerful shock wave, producing an explosion similar to that of a grenade in later generations. Bang bang bang - fifty loud noises like thunder in a row, sounded one after another on the city head of Xinhe, and some unlucky Yuan Jun, because they were relatively close to the explosion point of the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, were immediately shocked by the powerful air shock wave and flew upside down, and the red blood, mixed with broken internal organs, was spurted out of their mouths by them, and before they could land in mid-air, they had already cut off their breath. What's more, part of the Yuan army standing on the edge of the city wall was shocked by the shock wave of the Heavenly Maiden's scattered flowers and flew out of the city wall, showing an arc of free fall from a high altitude, and fell firmly to the land outside the city.

What shocked Yuan Shao was not limited to this, those "big iron balls" in his eyes, after the explosion, actually exploded, instantly shattered into hundreds of fist-sized pieces of iron, with strong rotation and penetration, shooting in all directions, and carried out an all-round and all-angle indiscriminate attack on the nearby Yuan army. A large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flower can be shattered into three or four hundred fist-sized pieces of shrapnel, and fifty Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers can be blasted at the same time, so you can imagine how powerful it will be.

Nearly 20,000 shrapnel strafed in all directions, and the iron armor on Yuan Jun's body was simply not enough to resist the extremely penetrating iron pieces, and even some not very strong bunkers were also blown down under the continuous impact of shrapnel after blasting, and Yuan Jun, who was hiding behind the bunkers, lost his barrier and was immediately killed on the spot. All of a sudden, the head of Xinhe City screamed continuously, and a large number of Yuan troops were killed and injured by shrapnel after the blasting, and the entire city head suddenly fell into incomparable chaos.

A shrapnel stood out among the nearly 20,000 explosive bodies, and shot straight in the direction of Yuan Shao, so frightened that Yuan Shao, who poked his head out to observe the situation, hurriedly shrank his neck, and subconsciously became the legendary turtle with a shrunken head. But fortunately, Yuan Shao's head shrunk this time, allowing him to escape, the shrapnel flew over Yuan Shao's head, shooting down the golden helmet on Yuan Shao's head, but failed to hurt Yuan Shao in the slightest.

After experiencing the power of shrapnel firsthand, Yuan Shao's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he shouted in a sharp voice regardless of the image of his own cape after losing his helmet: "Withdraw!" Withdraw from the city, withdraw to the inner city to set up defenses, hurry up! ”

A round of blasting can form such a kill, and instantly let tens of thousands of soldiers appear to their subordinates, if Ao Lie comes a few more rounds, his troops do not have to fight with the Yan army, they will be killed, Yuan Shao didn't want to watch his troops be beaten passively like this, so he hurriedly ordered to withdraw to the inner city, and threw the outer city directly to Ao Lie.

In the Han Dynasty, some cities have two inner and outer city walls, generally speaking, the inner city and the outer city are closer, although the height is not as good as the outer wall, the degree of solidity is slightly inferior, but after all, it is also a city wall, Yuan Shao is the advantage of the small gap between the inner and outer city walls, and decided to use the geographical restrictions to limit the red-clothed ballista and the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers of the Yan army, so that these two big killing weapons can not be put into the battlefield, so as to limit their due power.

Looking at the Yuan soldiers on the city wall, regardless of the red-clothed ballista, they fled to the inner city in a hurry, Ao Lie sighed sincerely: "Sure enough, the distance produces beauty, and the taste of letting go of the attack without defending is really good." It seems that in the future, we will have to develop more ultra-long-range large-scale weapons. ”

Beside Ao Lie, Zhou Yu, who had witnessed the huge power of the Heavenly Maiden for the first time, was already a little dumbfounded, and after hearing Ao Lie's unscrupulous sigh, he almost lost his balance and fell off the horse, thinking to himself, this is too shameless, right? This is simply naked torture!

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to knock open Ao Lie's skull to see what was inside, how could he figure out such a terrifying long-range attack weapon as the Heavenly Maiden Sanhua, and Zhou Yu believed that there were definitely not a few people with the same thoughts as himself, and from the equally shocked eyes of Zhuge Liang and others, Zhou Yu could conclude this.
