Although the soldiers were very brave, this time the crossbow arrows were fired in unison, which caused a huge blow to the soldiers.i^
Dozens of people were killed on the spot, and hundreds were bleeding and injured.
Among these hundreds of people, some have lost their combat effectiveness, while others are still moving forward with bows in hand, intending to fight back.
The overall appearance looked extremely tragic.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao smiled and said with a loud laugh: "Liu Feng, you love soldiers as much as your own children. How about personal soldiers? You will be heartbroken after just one or two people. This time I shot dozens of you, and the wounded
Hundreds. Let’s see if your heart hurts.”[
"Hahaha."
Yuan Shao laughed.
At this moment, Yuan Tan also smiled, and Qu Yi's blood boiled even more.
"Load arrows."
Soon after, Yuan Shao put away his smile and ordered.
In fact, without Yuan Shao's instructions, the crossbowmen had already started loading arrows. But their movements were a bit slow. The soldiers below the city were already close to the city wall.
In fact, the war is still going on at this moment. In addition to the crossbowmen, there are many archers in Yecheng. They fill the gap of the crossbowmen and shoot arrows at the soldiers.
At the same time, under the city, in addition to the attack by the king's general's personal soldiers, the armies of Deng Zhi and Ma Chao were also still attacking.
Arrows flew back and forth from both sides, and the fight continued.
"Swish swish."
However, although the arrows on the city are fierce, their power is not as good as the crossbow arrows. After being "shot" on the soldiers, unless they hit the vital points, they will only be slightly injured or even unscathed.
Therefore, it is impossible to stop the soldiers.
The soldiers were getting closer and closer to the city wall.
"Okay.i^"
Seeing this, Dong Gai in the rear shouted loudly, his excitement beyond words.
He also didn't expect that Yuan Shao's army would have such powerful crossbow arrows hidden in it. Dong Gai could tell that it was no ordinary crossbow arrow.
It was even more powerful than the crossbow arrows used by Zhao Jun during the Jieqiao Battle.
If they are unprepared, even if the soldiers retreat immediately, the losses have already been caused. But it is different now. Now the soldiers have a bow in their hands.
As long as you get close to a certain distance, you can shoot arrows into the city.[
Therefore, although the previous losses were heavy, they were not in vain. Moreover, they took advantage of the slow loading of the crossbow to launch a counterattack.
What a perfect time.
Previously, Dong Gai was still wondering why Liu Feng would issue such an order, but now Dong Gai no longer had any doubts in his mind.
The general is indeed a general, but he has anticipated this and prepared counterattacks.
Dong Gai was extremely impressed.
In fact, Liu Feng was not as brilliant as Dong Gai thought. If he had known what Yuan Shao would do next, he wouldn't have had to suffer so hard. It took more than ten years to develop the Han Dynasty to the point where it is now.
In just a few seconds, the world can be pacified.
He really sensed the changes in his energy, and issued that order out of caution, just to be prepared.
"Zhao's army was caught by surprise, and the soldiers should have suffered heavy losses. However, with a sudden move, the danger was saved. There was even a moment to counterattack. Perhaps God really blessed the Han Dynasty."
Although it was just an idea, it did not hinder Liu Feng's joy. He smiled and said.
"Is there really divine help?"
All this was seen by Jia Xu and Liu Ye, and they were quite surprised. They looked at each other and saw these four words in each other's eyes.
Is there really any divine help?
Regardless of whether there is divine help or not, the soldiers are destined not to suffer this time.
"kill."
Soon, the soldiers were close enough to shoot bows and arrows. Countless soldiers bent their bows and nocked arrows, then let go of their bowstrings with a roar.
"Swish swish."
Suddenly, the arrows turned into raindrops all over the sky and struck at the head of Yecheng. At this moment, the crossbowmen were still loading arrows. The crossbows they used were very powerful, so loading arrows took more and more time.
But at this moment, looking at the rain of arrows coming from the sky, Yuan Shao's laughter suddenly stopped, and the smiles on Feng Ji, Yuan Tan, and Qu Yi's faces suddenly froze.
Only now did they see clearly that the soldiers were unusually armed with a bow. This did not look like they were attacking the city. It was almost as if they had anticipated that their Zhao army would launch crossbows and came here specifically to counterattack.
"How is this possible?" Yuan Shao lost his voice and his expression suddenly became ashen.
"Did Liu Feng notice the return of his soldiers just now?" Feng Ji said in shock.[
No matter how shocked and shaken Yuan Shao, Feng Ji and others were, they could not change this fact. The rain of arrows from the sky arrived in an instant.
The dense concentration gave people the feeling of having nowhere to hide, which made people despair. The pupils of the crossbowmen who were still loading arrows suddenly contracted and they forgot their movements.
"Puch, plop."
The next moment, one arrow after another easily broke through the leather armor of the crossbowmen and pierced into their bodies.
The chest, abdomen, limbs, and even the neck and head.
"Ah, ah, ah."
On the spot, countless crossbowmen let out shrill screams.
The entire battlefield was in silence, with only the shrill screams echoing.
"kill."
No, the next moment, the soldiers roared loudly.
"Swish swish."
Immediately afterwards, the arrows turned into a rain of arrows that seemed to be endless, and suddenly arrived while the soldiers continued to vibrate the bow strings.
"Puch, plop."
"Ah, ah, ah."
More crossbowmen were injured and screamed. Although their crossbow arrows were powerful, they did not have continuous propulsion, which turned into a fatal weakness at this moment.
"The crossbowmen retreated and the archers advanced."
At this moment, Yuan Shao looked livid and gave an order loudly.
"promise."
Just now, because the crossbowmen were about to go into battle, many archers were withdrawn. Now these archers stepped forward quickly and bent their bows to shoot arrows.
And because the crossbowmen who had just caused casualties to the soldiers were like bereaved dogs, they retreated hastily with huge casualties.
At this moment, the trump card in Yuan Shao's hand seemed to have turned into a joke, becoming the butt of the joke.
"kill."
Of course, it was not without effect. The Han troops under the city, whether they were ordinary elite soldiers or the king's generals' personal soldiers, had high morale at this moment, and their roars of killing were even louder.
And what about Zhao's soldiers? Their morale dropped, and the momentum that Yuan Shao had managed to muster was completely exhausted.
I think back then, the morale of the Zhao army was so high, it was faintly comparable to the Han army, like a phoenix flying on a branch.
At this moment, the phoenix had its beautiful feathers plucked out and turned into a pheasant.
However, Zhao Jun should be nothing more than a pheasant in front of the Han army. Isn't it?
