Chapter 317: If you fall behind, you will be beaten
Yuan Qi under the city saw that Yuan Ding had killed Feng Ji, and knew that Yuan Ding had seen through his intentions, so he stopped the challenge, raised the mixed yuan halberd, pointed towards the head of Xinhe, and shouted: "Prepare to attack the city!"
In fact, Yuan Qi is reluctant to launch a siege war, at the moment the Yuan army is demoralized, and trapped in Xinhe, as long as Yuan Qi 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, however, Yuan Qi does not have that time, the south of Ugong Zhaolie has completed the counter-encirclement of the trial, and can swallow the trial of the troops at any time, after the trial, there will be no opponent in front of the Yugong Zhaolie, and he can drive straight into the counties and counties of Jizhou, in that case, it is inconsistent with Yuanqi's established policy, Yuan Qi must fight to kill Yuan Ding before Yugong Zhaolie completely eliminates the trial, or beat Yuan Ding back to Yecheng, take the opportunity to occupy more Jizhou counties, so as to achieve the purpose of squeezing Ugong Terulie to expand his territory in Jizhou.

But now it is not a fighter, after four rounds of single-handedness, four Yuan army generals were killed by Yuan Qi, especially Chun Yuqiong's death was extremely bloody, which greatly shocked the courage of Yuan Jun, and at the same time greatly boosted the morale of the Yan army and the Jiangdong army.
Riding his horse and galloping back to his main formation, Yuan Qi said loudly: "Ballista, let Yuan Jun taste the taste of red-clothed ballistas first!" With Yuan Qi'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 red-clothed ballistas with sharp edges and corners inside! In order to forcibly attack the city and seize time this time, Yuan Qi can be said to have made a bloody investment. A hundred red-coated ballistas were used at one time.
In a tooth-aching sound of strings, a hundred red-clothed ballistas were all ready, and the flashing crossbows pointed directly at the city wall of Xinhe! Among the Yuan army, there were not a few people who had 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: "My God, so many ballistas! This should be so resistant?" You must know that every time the Yan army used red-clothed ballistas in the past, there would be no more than twenty of them. 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 Mixed Element Halberd slashed downward. Yuan Qi shouted coldly: "Open the cannon!" The next moment, a thousand ballistae who were manipulating the red-clothed ballista pulled the tip of the cannon without hesitation, and five hundred powerful crossbows of different sizes were instantly shot into the sky, with a whistling sound that pierced the air, and shot towards the city head of Xinhe with boundless power.
Yuan Ding 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 Ding only thought that Yuan Qi didn't know where to get more than 20 of these terrible ballistas, although they were terrible, but after all, the number was limited, but now it seemed that it was not the case at all, obviously this kind of irresistible ballista had been mass-produced in the Yan army. Seeing that Yuan Ding was in a stupor, the generals dragged Yuan Ding to dodge behind the bunker while shouting loudly: "Sword and shield hand, raise the shield!
Yuan Ding, dragged by his generals, had just gone to hide behind the bunker, and the crossbow that broke through the air had already arrived!
Snatch - snatch - crackle -
One after the other, the sound of piercing sounded incessantly, and finally they joined together, causing great damage to everything on the walls of the new river. At the same time, the screams of Yuan Jun's men broke out instantly, and they kept ringing back in Yuan Ding'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, this time the Yan army's red-clothed ballista 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 those crossbows that were as straight as halberds on the head of the city, and the crossbow body as thick as a child's arm, so that Yuan Jun did not dare to imagine, what kind of power could make these thick crossbows cross a distance of hundreds of steps and instantly come to the city wall。
The results achieved by the red-coated ballista this time were not too satisfactory to Yuan Qi, but this was also expected by Yuan Qi, after all, the power of projectile and dive shot is different, and it is impossible for the projectile to achieve the same brilliant results as the dive shot. Raising his hand, Yuan Qi 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 Yezi 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 are installed with pulleys, which can move freely, pushed by 2,500 Yan troops, and 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 the capital, Yuan Qi used up all the small Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers that Jiang Zuo had recently produced, 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. Finally, 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 and smashed towards the head of the new river.
Yuan Ding, who was hiding behind the bunker, saw forty or fifty large iron balls with a radius of three feet suddenly flying in the sky, and asked suspiciously: "What is this? Is it a super-large iron gall? What is the use of this thing except that it is heavier?" Obviously, the world of the traverser is not so easy to understand, Yuan Ding's thinking, and Yuan Qi's thinking are not on the same grade at all. If Yuan Qi's thinking is in the state of college students in later generations, then Yuan Ding's thinking is at most similar to that of a little pot friend in kindergarten.
Yuan Ding's doubts did not last long, and the cruel reality ruthlessly told Yuan Ding 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. Fifty loud noises like thunder in a row, sounded one after another on the city 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 wildly, and their bodies had already cut off their breath before they landed in mid-air. 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 Ding was not limited to this, those "big iron balls" in his eyes, after the explosion, actually produced a blast, instantly shattered into hundreds of fist-sized pieces of iron, with strong rotation and penetrating power, 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 nearly 20,000 explosive bodies, shooting straight in the direction of Yuan Ding, so frightened that Yuan Ding, 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 Ding's head shrunk this time, allowing him to escape, the shrapnel flew over Yuan Ding's head, shooting down the golden helmet on Yuan Ding's head, but failed to hurt Yuan Ding in the slightest.
After experiencing the power of shrapnel firsthand, Yuan Ding's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and regardless of the image of his own cloak after losing his helmet, he shouted in a sharp voice: "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 suffer from battle damage, if Yuan Qi comes a few more rounds, his troops don't have to fight with the Yan army, they will be killed, Yuan Ding didn't want to watch his troops be beaten passively like this, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat to the inner city, and throw the outer city directly to Yuan Qi.
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, and the degree of solidity is slightly inferior, but after all, it is also a city wall, Yuan Ding saw 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 could 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's fierce shooting, they fled to the inner city in a hurry, Yuan Qi sighed sincerely: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten, 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 weapons, and this battle will be a good one!"
Next to Yuan Qi, Zhou Yu, who had witnessed the huge power of the Heavenly Maiden for the first time, was already a little dumbfounded, and after hearing Yuan Qi's unscrupulous sigh, he almost lost his balance and fell off the horse, thinking in his heart, this is too ruthless, isn't it?
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to knock on Yuan Qi'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.
