"Quick, shoot them with arrows." Fearing that the vanguard army would attack the city, he ordered his elite Wuhuan archers to start firing arrows.

If you want to talk about the Wuhuan soldiers, the most powerful is the way of the bow and arrow. Their bows are longer than those of regular archers, and they have a great pull. Under their attack, they even shot at the vanguard two hundred and thirty paces away, and wounded dozens of people.

Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat. It wasn't until noon that Zhang Chao and Zhang Jiajun arrived.

"Lord, the bow and arrow pull of the Wuhuan soldiers is huge, and we can't rely on the edge of the city." Lu Bu clenched his fists and bowed his head.

"Okay, got it. In this way, your vanguard army is tired from a long night's travel, so go down and rest first. I'll take care of the rest. Zhang Chao smiled and patted Lu Bu's shoulder. Wu Huan's archers are famous all over the world, and he knew how powerful they were. Now even the god-killing general Lu Bu has to suffer, which shows that the rumors are true.

After pacifying Lu Bu, Zhang Chao said to Dian Wei on the side: "Ziman, Zhongkang, you take 5,000 Zhang's army with me." ”

On the head of Liucheng City, this is also the only city wall made of earth in Wuhuan, but because of limited financial resources, the city wall is not tall.

At this time, Badun and the defeated general Ertie stood on top of the city tower, watching the big banner slowly begin to approach.

Knowing that it was Zhang Chao coming, a trace of fear arose in his heart, and under the fear, he hurriedly ordered his archers, "Quick, shoot them for me, you can't let them get close." ”

Perhaps, in Bunton's view, only by keeping enough distance can a sense of safety be born enough.

Hearing the order, the Wuhuan archer shot with his bow, and the distance of two hundred and twenty steps was to raise the arrow, and the arrow appeared like rain in front of Zhang Chao and the other horses.

Seeing that the Wuhuan soldiers could shoot so far with ordinary bows and arrows, Zhang Chao couldn't help but sigh for a while, this Wuhuan man was really good at riding and shooting.

"Lord, how's it going?" Dian Wei and Xu Chu protected Zhang Chao on the left and right, and when they saw that the arrow was in front of them, they couldn't help but ask Zhang Chao nervously.

"Let the Zhang light cavalry reflect, let them see how sharp our bows and arrows are." Zhang Chao said nonchalantly. Compared to bow shooting, the Zhang family light cavalry is definitely the strongest. The bows and arrows in their hands have been improved several times, and if they have enough strength, they can shoot to a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, and even worse, a distance of two hundred and seventy or eighty paces.

Zhang Chao ordered, and the 3,000 light cavalry of Zhang's army immediately lined up, and then shot with a bow, and suddenly 3,000 arrows shot towards the city wall like a meteor shower.

As mentioned earlier, the walls of Liucheng are not very tall, which makes it possible to shoot bows and arrows under the walls with a little force. After seeing that Zhang Chaojun also began to use bows and arrows, Bunton, Ertie and the others couldn't help grinning.

The archer strength of the Wuhuan soldiers is large, and even compared with the Xianbei cavalry who are good at fighting, they are also superior. So far, they have not seen anyone who can outperform them with a bow and arrow. For this reason, when they saw that Zhang Chao wanted to bow to bow, they couldn't help laughing.

The corners of his mouth were just grinning, and before they could fully bloom, he saw the bow and arrow from afar go straight into the city tower and pounced on them.

"Just be careful." Erthep's reaction was still fast, seeing that the bow and arrow really shot over, and after a sharp scream, he swung his sword to block, and immediately shot the three arrows that could reach him.

Ertie protected Bunton, they were not injured, but the other Wuhuan soldiers on the city tower were not so lucky, especially some of the Wuhuan archers who were setting up their bows and preparing to shoot arrows, because they did not have the slightest defense, they were all shot squarely, and a few people fell straight from the city tower after being hit by the arrows.

"What a powerful bow and arrow." When he saw that Zhang Chao's army could shoot himself from a distance of two hundred and fifty steps, he sighed and hurriedly found a place to hide.

The other Wuhuan soldiers also hid in the same way, and for a while, there was not a single Wuhuan soldier on the entire city tower.

Seeing that the other party was hiding, Zhang Chao, who was riding on the white crane horse, couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Aren't your bows and arrows very powerful? Why do you want to be a turtle now? ”

Listening to Zhang Chao's shameful laughter downstairs, he hated his teeth so much that he was itching, but he was really helpless.

Seeing that he was sarcastic, and he didn't reply, Zhang Chao said again: "Wuhuan Shan Yu, I respect you as a man, respect the bravery of Wuhuan soldiers, I will give us a way out now, immediately open the city gate and surrender, I promise not to kill a single person, and I will give your people and soldiers good treatment." On the other hand, if I don't open the gates, I can only storm it, and if so, then it is no wonder that I will do something contrary to the peace of heaven after entering the city. ”

After saying this, Zhang Chao said again: "I'll give you a pillar of incense to think about it, and when the time comes, if you don't open the city gate, I will force the siege on the grounds that you want to resist to the end." ”

When Zhang Chao's words fell, an iron guard had already lit the incense, and the time began to tick out.

Through the bunker above the city tower, he clearly saw what Zhang Chaojun had done, and his eyebrows couldn't help but become wrinkled.

As far as his heart is concerned, Badun does not want to be an enemy of Zhang Chao. But he didn't want to surrender like this, he also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him about the conditions, but Zhang Chao didn't seem to know, he just blindly asked him to surrender, and he didn't promise at all, which made him hate in his heart.

It's just that in front of so many soldiers, it's not good for him to say anything for his survival, otherwise wouldn't he be looked down upon?

"Okay, you Zhang Chao, because you are still a general, why don't you know my thoughts? If there are no conditions, how can I open the gates of the city for you? He thought anxiously in his heart, so he didn't order to surrender for a while.

The time of a pillar of incense burned very quickly, and when he was still doing psychological struggle, the incense was burned.

"Well, when the time comes, if you must resist to the end, then it is no wonder that I will slaughter the city in a while. Come on, the light cavalry will take cover with arrows, and the heavy cavalry will storm the city gates for me. Ziman, Zhongkang's everything depends on your ability. Zhang Chao saw that the time was up, but Wuhuan still didn't mean to open the city gate, so he roared loudly towards the city wall.

After Dian Wei and Xu Chu received Zhang Chao's military order, they were all happy. Being able to exert their abilities, the two of them were the happiest, and immediately hugged their fists and responded to the promise, which commanded the two thousand Zhang family troops to prepare for the siege of the city.

On the top of the city tower, seeing that Zhang Chaojun seemed to be preparing to attack the city, the general Erther asked Xiang Tudun: "Shan Yu, do you say that this general of the Han Dynasty can enter the city gate?" ”

"I can't." Bunton shook his head and said, "Our city gate has also been repaired at a cost, so how can it be said that it can be captured if it is attacked?" ”

Although he couldn't say it, only Bandun knew in his heart that under Zhang Chaojun's strong attack, he really had no confidence in whether he could defend the city gate.

It was about half a pillar of incense, and the army was ready. After that, the three thousand light cavalry began to draw arrows with bows and shoot towards the tower of Liucheng City, and they wanted to suppress those Wuhuan archers and did not dare to act rashly. Two thousand heavy cavalry, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, launched a charge towards the gate of Liucheng, which was more than two hundred paces away.

It is not true to say that it is a charge, just because there are dozens of heavy cavalry in the Zhang family, and when they rushed to a distance of fifty paces, they picked up the heavy bow they were equipped with and shot towards the gate of Liucheng.

The bows and arrows of the Zhang family heavy cavalry are different from those of others, and their arrows are all made of pig iron, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all-metal. What's more, they carry a long chain behind their arrows, which allows them to retract their arrows at any time.

Dozens of Zhang Jiazhong rode fifty steps away from the city gate and stopped, and then shot with a bow, and immediately the metal arrows were accurately shot at the city gate, and then they began to pull the iron rope in their hands, and the whole city gate became tense because of their pulling.

"Come, let's work together." Dian Wei and Xu Chu in the army saw that the preliminary work had been completed, so they shouted loudly at the same time. Then about half of the cavalry raised their iron shields high to block the arrows laid down by the tower, and the other half began to pull the iron ropes one by one.

How much would it be for thousands of people to use their strength together, and the fifty pace-long iron ropes were almost covered with powerful hands, and they began to pull with their force.

"What's going on?" He didn't dare to raise his head under the feathers of the arrow, so he asked Ertie at his side.

General Erther had a bitter look on his face, why did he rush to look down at the risk of arrows? Just asked him, he always had to have an explanation, and immediately he took a big shield from the hands of his own soldiers behind him, and with his strength, he stretched out his head to look down.

After seeing this, he was shocked and said: "Shan Yu, it's not good, Zhang Chao's army is forcibly pulling the city gate, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it for a long time." ”

"What? That won't let them succeed, and let the archers fight back at once. Badun was also shocked, and he was afraid in his heart and gave orders at the same time.

The Liucheng City Gate was his last defense system, and if he couldn't even block it, he really didn't know how to deal with Zhang Chao's iron cavalry army. He saw with his own eyes that there were 10,000 cavalry in full gear waiting behind Zhang Chao, those people were definitely the army of tigers and wolves, and they were afraid that they would not be able to defeat them.

"This..."After hearing the order of Bunton, Erther hesitated a little, now that bows and arrows are falling on the castle tower at any time, wouldn't it be asking the cavalry to go out and fire bows and arrows now?
