Although the speed of the fleet slowed down, it did not stop completely, and it was still much faster than the speed of Dong Zhuo's army on the riverbank.

After continuing to move forward for nearly a hundred kilometers, Yang Tian had already seen Dong Zhuo's direct legions, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army, as well as the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu, although the other armies and the people were a little tired, but the expressions of these troops were still as resolute as ever, and the military appearance was also neat, as if the march of the past ten days had no impact on them.

"Lord, these armies are Dong Zhuo's heart, if we can inflict a huge blow on these armies, the possibility of Dong Zhuo's compromise will be greatly increased. Lord, shall we do it now? Guo Jia stood on the deck and said indifferently to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian said: "Let's start attacking now!" Be careful, then Lu Bu's strength is extraordinary, don't lose yourself. Yang Tian said this is not unreasonable, you must know that although Lu Bu's strongest is melee combat, his archery skills are also not weak, and the allusion of the Yuanmen halberd has been sung through the ages. If this guy seizes the opportunity to give Guo Jia or himself such an arrow, he will have no place to cry.

Guo Jia could also understand Yang Tian's thoughts, nodded immediately, and then went to give instructions.

……

On the official road facing the Baiyun City fleet, Dong Zhuo was standing on the wheel of the carriage, and when he saw the endless fleet on the river, his face was gloomy and about to wring out of the water. There is no doubt that the fleet in front of them must be owned by Baiyun City, and the reason why they appeared here is naturally because they did not agree to the other party's conditions.

Li Ru stood next to the carriage, looked at Dong Zhuo silently, and then said, "Lord, I think we are still ......"

"Impossible!" Before Dong Zhuo could finish speaking, he immediately said categorically: "Thirty million taels of gold!" Even the formation of a strong army is quite sufficient. Just give it to the sunshine for nothing? …… Isn't it just some death? The most important thing in this troubled world is people. As long as there are these possessions, there is no one to come to us? ”

Li Ru sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything anymore. He knew that no matter how much he said at this time, it would be useless.

Dong Zhuo stared at the ships on the river and asked, "Wenyou, can you tell me how many catapults there are on these ships?" ”

Li Ru said: "My subordinates visited this fleet yesterday and observed it in general. The entire fleet had more than 100 warships, each of which contained between 20 and 30 catapults. With the way the opponent is now arranged, we need to face at least half of the opponent's catapults at the same time. That's nearly two thousand catapults. These catapults will not cause us many casualties, but they will shake the morale of the army, because we will be completely passive in this battle, and we can even say that we are the target of the other side. ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly felt a lot more relieved and said, "Since you can't cause too many casualties. What else are we worried about? Directly ordered the army to speed up this section of the road, as long as the river was bypassed, how could the ships of the Sunshine Gang continue to exert their might? ”

Li Ru was not as optimistic as Dong Zhuo, he looked behind him and said, "Lord, although there is only one official road in this place, there is no way around. When the time comes, countless boulders fall overhead. A large number of soldiers and civilians would pour into the woods on the south side, and the wagons in the ranks would not be able to enter. Won't all be taken away by the sun? ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Give orders to the generals immediately." The whole army hastened forward, and no one was allowed to enter the forest, otherwise there would be no mercy. ”

Li Ru didn't say anything more, maybe this is the best way now! Then he turned and went down to arrange the defense.

Right now. Suddenly, there was a dense sound of arrow strings pulling on the surface of the river, and the sound could reach the ears of Dong Zhuo and the others through the sound of huge water waves. The sound of the arrow strings was not an ordinary bow and arrow, but a catapult. Then, a huge sound of breaking wind came from the air, and stones the size of grinding discs rained down on the official road.

"Hide!" ……

"What are you doing standing still?" ……

"If you want to die, don't drag others!" ……

The entire official road was suddenly in chaos, and no one dared to pack a ticket to say that those boulders would not fall on their heads, so their first thought was to hide! Hide as far as you can, and no one wants to be smashed into flesh by a boulder.

"Onward! …… Don't go into the forest ......! According to Dong Zhuo's order, the elite soldiers guarding the side of the official road immediately shouted when they saw a large number of people rushing towards them. They are all Dong Zhuo's direct troops, and the execution of Dong Zhuo's orders will never be discounted.

For the soldiers in the army, regardless of their strength, obeying orders is the first thing that needs to be trained, not to mention, at this time, although escaping into the woods may be faster to avoid the attack of the boulder, but they must first rush through the blockade of these elite legions, they have experienced the war, but they know that it is not easy to be killed by catapults, but if they encounter elite soldiers, The probability of their death is much higher. So they made the right choice the first time.

But the ordinary people were different, they only knew that the boulder falling from the sky was terrifying, far more dangerous than the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, so they could completely ignore the soldiers who were guarding the official road and rush straight to it.

The result can be imagined, in the case of a huge difference in strength, these people who rushed up immediately suffered a merciless slaughter, in an instant, tens of thousands of people fell to the ground, and then one by one huge stones fell, a small number of unlucky soldiers or people died in the first round of attacks, but this number is still far less than the number of people who died at the hands of those soldiers.

However, the people only saw the tragic images of those who died under the boulders, and did not notice those who were killed by a single sword, or rather, they did not compare the difference between the two, and rushed towards the forest on the left with even more frenzied momentum under the stimulus of blood.

There is no doubt that they will be greeted with a one-sided slaughter, and those elite soldiers can instantly kill these powerless people in an instant without even spending much energy, this is the gap between the two sides.

As more and more people died, and the boulder on their heads fell after a while, the people seemed to understand something, and slowly some people retreated, returned to the official road, and silently advanced westward. There are even some people who don't care about the boulder falling from the sky at all, and they are completely resigned to fate, and they also know that when the boulder falls, even if they try their best to hide, they can't avoid the stone.

It can be said that in such a war, the fate stone of ordinary people is very pathetic, because they have no right to choose their own destiny at all, and they can only resign themselves to fate. (To be continued)
