Chapter 3 Liu Yongcheng ascends to Shuwei
"Your Majesty must not be in danger!"
The two guards watched Liu Yong gallop towards the place where the fire flashed, fearing that something would happen to the emperor, who had never experienced a war, and they shouted as Pegasus arrived.
At this time, the forbidden soldiers transferred by Qi Fang had already ascended to the top of the city one after another.
With Qi Fang's order, dense crossbow arrows poured like locusts flying in the sky, pouring over the heads of Cao Wei's soldiers under the city.
The power of the Zhuge Repeater was instantly exerted to the extreme.
The Cao Wei soldiers in front fell to the ground one after another, and the people who followed behind began to retreat after a brief period of confusion.
Countless torches were lit, and the outside of the city became a world of torches, and the rain mixed with blood was like a wriggling snake in the firelight.
"The enemy will return, don't be careless, quickly prepare crossbows and fire-starters." Qi Fang stood at a battlement, holding the long sword in his hand.
Bundles of crossbow arrows tied with animal belts were continuously carried to the city, and the soldiers of the Shu army hid under the battlements with their bowed bodies, and the cold after the wind and rain and the fear of stepping on the edge of death made everyone shiver constantly.
"Your Majesty is here, everyone retreats quickly!" I don't know who recognized Liu Yong, who had just stepped on the city with one foot, and shouted loudly.
Liu Yongxun looked over and just smiled and nodded.
The spirits of the crowd were lifted.
Although they are all forbidden troops of the imperial court, they are responsible for guarding the safety of the palace on weekdays, but most people have never seen the real emperor, only heard that this is a person who is immersed in singing and dancing all day long, and is indecisive in trouble.
However, as soon as Liu Yong walked up, everyone was shocked by his heroism and strength.
Although Liu Yong and Liu Chan are extremely similar, they are only limited to their appearance, compared with Liu Chan's malaise all day long, Liu Yong looks heroic, and seems to exude a terrifying momentum from his bones. This kind of momentum is innate and unique to the kind of person who has the temperament of a leader.
It was precisely this temperament that almost instantly erased the shadow of the fear of war in the hearts of everyone in the city.
Qi Fang didn't expect Liu Yong to really come, and he only had two guards by his side, he ordered the shield hand standing beside him to protect Liu Yong quickly, and strode over, but before he could lean over, he was already pulled by Liu Yong.
The soldiers in the city did not have time to form a formation, and each knelt in his hiding place.
"General Qi is not chaotic in the face of danger, and if the command is determined, it is really the luck of my court." Liu Yong patted the back of Qi Fang's hand hard and said.
"Your Majesty praises falsely, and Weichen really doesn't dare to be." Qi Fang hurriedly replied.
Liu Yong waved his hand to ask everyone to get up, and he walked to a battlement, leaned over and looked down.
Under the city, countless Cao Wei soldiers were rushing to the rear, a general-like person riding on a horse and looking up at the city, under the light of the torches, Liu Yong clearly saw the contempt on his face, as if he had already collected this Chengdu city in his own bag.
"This person is a relative of the Cao family, surnamed Xiahou, extremely fierce, and has repeatedly defeated my generals." Qi Fang pointed to the general and said to Liu Yong.
Liu Yong nodded and stretched his hand back.
Qi Fang thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Liu Yong's intentions. He took a hardwood bow from a soldier and handed it to Liu Yong.
Liu Yong weighed it in his hand, hooked the bowstring with one finger, and gently pushed and pulled, only to hear a cracking sound, and the hardwood bow broke in response.
Everyone was shocked.
"Your Majesty's divine power!" I don't know who couldn't help but scream.
Liu Yong's face was expressionless, and he motioned for the guards to bring the bow and arrows he had brought with him.
The guards ran down the city, took the mulberry rhinoceros horn bow from Liu Yong's warhorse, and shook it in his hand, thinking to himself when the emperor, who had been in the palace all day, had created such a tough bow.
The mulberry bow was not the best among the ancient bows and arrows, but it was extremely tough, and with a rare rhinoceros horn, even some warriors rarely possessed it. It stands to reason that Liu Yong's current identity should be called the imperial bow, and with a gold-smeared beryllium arrow, it is a status symbol.
"This person should be more than 100 meters away from the city, and Your Majesty should not be taken lightly." Qi Fang measured the distance between the general Cao Wei and the city wall with his eyes, and reminded Liu Yongdao.
Liu Yong smiled and stretched out his bow and arrows.
Almost everyone gathered to see how the legendary good-for-nothing emperor proved his strength with a bow and arrow.
The feather arrow pierced the darkness in front of it with a long whistle, like a small snake that suddenly launched an attack on its prey, flying out of the air, carrying an unstoppable huge force to pounce on the Xiahou general.
With a scream, the feather arrow made a black arc in mid-air, and the sharp arrow stabbed steadily into his throat.
The people in the city and under the city fell silent at the moment when the Xiahou general fell off his horse.
A short moment later, there was a cheer from the city.
"Your Majesty's Divine Marksmanship!"
"Shu Han will win!"
The cheers came and went, and the soldiers saw Liu Yong so mighty, and they danced excitedly for a while, and some even shouted out their throats.
Although Liu Yong didn't say anything, this method achieved unexpected results.
Frightened, the Cao Wei soldiers under the city abandoned the last few corpses full of crossbow arrows and retreated out of range of bows and arrows.
By this time, the east had turned white, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed much thinner than before.
After a brief silence, Cao Wei's soldiers launched another round of attacks.
Huge iron chariots rolled against the heavy gates, propelled by countless soldiers, and a row of shield-bearers in the front crawled forward.
"Take Your Majesty back to the palace quickly." Qi Fang commanded loudly.
The four shield bearers who were originally responsible for protecting Qi Fang quickly formed a circle, protected Liu Yong in the middle, and ran down the bluestone steps towards the city.
The whistling feathered arrows made a dull sound the moment they made contact with the shield, and they bounced high, forming a rain of arrows that fell to the ground.
Stepping on the ground below the city with one foot, Liu Yong pushed everyone away.
"Quickly return to the city to protect General Qi, and don't let the enemy take a step forward." Liu Yong drank, turned around and beckoned to the two personal guards, "You two follow me to the city gate." ”
"This place is dangerous, Your Majesty can't stay for a long time, quickly return to the palace with the villain." A guard said that he was about to come over to help Liu Yong get on the horse, but he pushed him away.
Liu Yong didn't say anything more, flew on the horse, clamped his legs, and the horse ran towards the direction of the city gate like a wind.
At this time, a fierce battle was also taking place at the city gate.
The Shu Han soldiers, who were originally guarding here, saw that the city gate was tilted by the impact of the rushing car outside, so they had to use the huge stones that had already been transported to plan to fix the city gate again. But at this time, one of them suddenly went crazy and slashed several people with his sword, and tried to open the city gate.
The heavy gates, which were fixed with iron plates inside and out, creaked under the constant impact of the rushing cars, and could collapse at any time.
At the critical moment, Liu Yong flew over.
