Chapter 371 Carriage Crossbow Shooting

The most dangerous thing about trapping a pit is that when you are not discovered, as long as you step in, the bamboo stick will penetrate the person. Once you find it, it will no longer be dangerous.

Every time, hundreds of stones fall down, and pits continue to appear. The more than 100 meters in front of the city wall are almost covered with pits. Xiahou Yuan is really cruel.

Lu Su mobilized the soldiers who were carrying wooden boards and followed. The wooden board was so wide, more than three feet wide. It was directly placed on the pit, and then it was spread.

The infantry holding the shovel behind began to destroy the pit, took out the sharp bamboo inside, and then transported soil from behind to backfilling.

It is very dangerous to trap a pit, and once damaged, it will not be hurt.

It was pushed until it was seventy or eighty meters away from the city wall. The feather arrows were too dense on the city wall. There were feather arrows everywhere on the shield car and the shields, and even the soldiers' armor was inserted into many feather arrows.

Xiahou Yuan could see clearly and curse her so angry that the Xuzhou army was too fierce. Unless it hit the face, it would not be shot to death. However, the Xuzhou army also had a small shield to protect its head, so the bow and arrow were very little harmed.

The feather arrows of the Xuzhou army buzzed into the air, and thousands of feather arrows were like locusts.

"Do not." As the officer roared, the soldiers on the city wall hid behind the shield. The feather arrows of the Xuzhou army arrived, and the rockets of Yishui were burned.

The Xuzhou army stopped advancing, and the bows and arrows began to shoot arrows continuously.

Gao Shun frowned from behind: "This is the elite Cao army, and it is urgent to break through."

Gao Shunshen agreed that if Cao's army was vulnerable, how could it be possible to use the emperor to command the princes?

Gao Shun transferred another thousand archers to the top, and the feather arrows became even more dense.

The soldiers on the city wall were beaten to no longer dared to stand at the marquee of the female wall and shoot arrows, and only dared to hide behind the wall and shoot.

There were burning wars everywhere on the city walls and within the city walls.

Gao Shun had few soldiers and did not attack widely, but only attacked the North Gate.

From morning until noon, Gao Shun saw that it was not early, so he ordered a temporary retreat.

After fighting for a whole morning, the Xuzhou army was killed in battle, but more than 200 people were injured. However, the materials were consumed a lot, more than 3,000 crossbows and arrows, and more than 20,000 ordinary arrows. In addition, the small shields damaged hundreds, and compared to human lives, these materials were not worth mentioning.

As Lu Bu said, fighting is about making money, but the Xuzhou army has supplies, so the arrows shot by Cao army can be picked up and used again.

Xiahou Dun, the Cao army in the city, was in trouble. The arrows shot by the Xuzhou army were all fired, and the shafts were burned out.

"General Yan Liang, you lead the cavalry to guard it. If the enemy soldiers come out, come forward and shoot arrows. If the enemy doesn't come out, don't worry about them."

"yes."

Gao Shun and Lu Su led the soldiers to have dinner.

The Huo Tou Jun made the meal, stewed pork noodle with vermicelli, and pancakes with wheat noodles, which were whole wheat.

Pork, cabbage, and vermicelli are cooked in a large pot.

The Huo Tou Army who cooks food will never shake hands. Each person has a meal box, which is very powerful. The big pancakes are too hard and soaked in soup.

After the infantry had a meal, the cavalry came to eat.

The soldiers on the city wall were very happy and finally had time to rest.

Xiahou Yuan transferred the soldiers from the east wall to rotate and arranged for the soldiers to have dinner and rest.

Until noon, the ox horn sounded again, and the war was like going to work. The infantrymen of Xuzhou pushed the shield cart and crossbow cart, and slowly approached again.

This time it stopped at about 200 meters away, but it was still a crossbow that was bombarded by the crossbow.

Moreover, the things on the crossbow arrows were changed. In the morning, there was a choking smoke, and in the afternoon it turned into loud noises and iron sand. However, the amount of medicine was small and the lethality was insufficient.

Although the lethality is not great, the intimidation caused is very great. Many timid Cao soldiers buried their heads under the shield and dared not come out.

"This is the Thunder God that Xuzhou invites to help, we are dead."

"Those who speak evilly will confuse the crowd, kill them."

Xiahou Yuan drew his sword and killed the random words, but the fear in the soldiers' hearts could not be eliminated, but due to the strict military orders, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo." The horn sounded, and the infantry carrying the ladder began again.

The soldiers hidden on the city walls rose up to prepare, and what greeted them was a rain of arrows, which only caused hundreds of casualties.

Xiahou Yuan went back to regain his energy and restored his strength. Yu Jin took over the command and immediately changed his strategy, leaving only a small number of people to observe. The others were hiding behind the shield and could only come out when the enemy really attacked.

The Xuzhou army spent the afternoon shooting in the crossbow chariots, and occasionally the archers stepped forward and shot over.

The situation in Puyang City is very bad now. In addition to the losses on the wall, many houses not far from the city wall have also caught fire.

The people gathered in the middle of the city, and the streets were lying everywhere.

The big families in the city were confused. I had long heard that the Xuzhou army did not disturb the people or robbed the big families. They were very active in thinking about changing the house.

Especially the informed ones are very well-informed and already know that the Xuzhou army has taken Nanyang and Jiang Xia has surrounded Cao Cao from three sides.

Cao Cao's advantage has disappeared. Now he can only resist and have no power to fight back.

In the afternoon, as soon as the sun was west, Gao Shun withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, arranged for rangers to explore the surrounding horses to guard the surroundings, and the camp was even more vigilant and patrol.

The Puyang city gate opened, and more than a thousand soldiers came out to clear the pit, but there was no such good thing. A horn rushed over and more than a thousand cavalrymen, and their bows and arrows flew, and they were all shot back one by one.

When he came out again, he held a shield to block the cavalry's shooting, and the infantry behind him repaired the pit. The pit was an effective means to stop the attack, and Yu Jin did not want to give up this low-cost method.

The one who led the troops to harass the 1,000 cavalry archers of Zhao Yun's army, did not get entangled, and immediately changed to shooting to suppress the enemy's digging speed.

Soldiers are constantly being shot by bows and arrows, and people's psychological tolerance is limited. Obviously, the number of these elite soldiers is very high, and nearly 10% of the casualties cannot stop their determination to dig a hole.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to send a signal to the camp.

Yan Liang led three thousand cavalrymen to come, and the horse's hooves trampled on the earth and dust flew.

This is a group of cavalrymen with swords, fighting by rushing to battle.

When Cao Bing, who was digging a hole, saw that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he ran away and didn't want the shield.

The two sides made a fuss back and forth, and they kept making trouble until it was completely dark, which was the end of the noisy first day.

In Gaoshun's army, he rewarded the three armies at night.

The nearby big farmers contributed hundreds of sheep, and Lu Su was not polite and accepted them all.

Huo Tou Jun stewed mutton soup, barbecue lamb kebabs.

The soldiers sang and danced around the bonfire, and some were fighting there.

The military atmosphere is relatively open, so as long as it is not too much, it is allowed.

This is because during war, soldiers are very nervous and face death every moment. The bow is too tight and easy to break, so they need to relax appropriately.
