003 Start a fierce battle

Cao's army was temporarily repelled, and the soldiers guarding the city began to clean up the corpses on the city tower, and carried the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle down the city tower, and then brought new rolling stones and rapiers from the city.

Zhang Yan stood on the city tower, watching Cao Jun retreat, and breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the bow he held in his hand to Chen Deng again and said, "Sir, I'll give you this bow."

Chen Deng did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at Zhang Yan with a hint of respect, and said with joy: "Prince Zhang, I really didn't expect that you actually have the technique of wearing Yang a hundred steps. This bow is also a waste for me. It's better to keep it and use this bow to kill a few more Cao soldiers."

Zhang Yan saw that this bow was finely crafted and different from ordinary bows and arrows, and the strength of the bow string was twice that of an ordinary bow, which was really a good bow. Moreover, there was a gem inlaid on the bow, which showed that this bow was Chen Deng’s favorite thing. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take advantage of others’ beauty, he said: “How can I…”

"Prince Zhang, do you know who the Cao army general you shot with an arrow just now was?"

Zhang Yan shook his head.

Chen Deng grinned, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop and said happily: "The Cao army general you shot just now is Cao Chun, who is the younger brother of Cao Ren, the general of Cao army, and Cao Cao's right-hand man. Can you still say that you are not rewarded without merit?"

Zhang Yan turned his face and looked outside the city. He saw Cao Chun's body being carried back to the Cao army formation. A Cao army general was lying on Cao Chun's body and wailing. That person should be Cao Ren.

"Oh, it seems that Liangzi and Cao Cao are in a destiny!" Zhang Yan sighed in his heart.

Chen Deng continued: "Prince Zhang, you shot Cao Chun and made great contributions. If Lord Zhou Mu knew about it, he would definitely reward you with great rewards. This bow can only exert its true power in your hands. I will give it to you today. I hope you can use this bow well and kill a few more generals of the Cao army!"

"Then... I'd rather obey my destiny!" Zhang Yan saw that Chen Deng had good intentions, and if he refused again, it would seem too hypocritical. Besides, the tension of this bow is very strong and the shooting range is very long, which is indeed very suitable for him to use.

Chen Deng looked happy when he saw that Zhang Yan was willing to accept the bow he gave. He gathered all the soldiers together and praised Zhang Yan in front of everyone, and asked them to learn from Zhang Yan. In front of everyone, Zhang Yan temporarily became the army Sima and was responsible for the defense on the west side of the city wall.

Then, the defenders began to actively deploy defenses, and some soldiers kept moving arrows from the arsenal to the city wall, as if they were preparing to fight the Cao army to the end.

The Cao army outside the city also changed. After the first charge test failed, the Cao army became conservative.

Zhang Yan noticed that Cao's army pushed dozens of stone throwing machines from the rear army and stood in the center of the army. It seemed that Cao's army was preparing to use siege weapons.

Chen Deng also noticed this change. At this time, he was standing on the city wall and looking at Cao Jun outside the city from afar, frowned, gloomy and nervous.

Soon, Cao's army's siege weapons were ready, but when the flags in the Cao army's formation were waving, the rumbling sound of war drums came out of Cao's formation, resounding throughout the world, and soaring into the sky.

Chen Deng immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone is careful, the Cao army is ready to start siege again. This time, the Cao army used a stone throwing machine. Everyone must pay attention to avoid it. In any case, they must persist until the provincial governor leads reinforcements to the arrival!"

"Here!" All the soldiers guarding the city replied in unison.

Chen Deng turned around and gave some instructions to the personal soldiers behind him. The personal soldiers quickly got off the city tower and soon shouted loudly in the city, and began to guide the refugees and soldiers in the city to defend.

After about two minutes of the sound of the war drum, it suddenly came to an abrupt end. Then dozens of huge black shadows flew out of the Cao army's army and flew towards Pengcheng.

A dull sound of breaking through the air came from the sky, which seemed to contain a trembling smell.

"Be careful to avoid!" Chen Deng hid behind the battlements and shouted loudly.

Dozens of huge stones crossed the high city wall and fell directly into the city.

The huge rock fell on the roof and broke the beam heavily. The houses near the city wall collapsed instantly and turned into ruins.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

There were constant rumbling sounds in the city, and the entire ground was shaking. Large areas of houses collapsed, mixed with the screams of many people.

The first wave of attacks by Cao's army with a stone throwing machine came to an end. Zhang Yan then noticed that the stone throwing machine moved its position in Cao's army's army and made some adjustments backwards.

Soon, many huge rocks flew out from the sky. The flying stones looked like a huge millstone, falling from the sky and ruthlessly hit Pengcheng.

This time, the target of the huge rocks was the city wall. Many huge rocks fell from the sky and fell directly on the city wall, killing one defender after another.

Faced with the attacks of these giants, the defenders in the city were simply vulnerable and could not avoid them. In this era, stone throwers were terrifying weapons like cannons.

All the defenders were close to the city wall, praying secretly, hoping not to be hit by the huge rocks. But near the city gate was the key place for Cao's stone throwing machine to attack. After avoiding the attack of this wave of huge rocks, they could not predict the attack trajectory of the next wave of huge rocks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The boulder was still falling continuously, and rumbling sounds were heard nearby. Sometimes far and sometimes near, no one could tell where the next boulder would fall. The accuracy of the stone thrower was very poor, and Zhang Yan could not predict its ballistics, so he could only watch the soldiers around him being smashed to death.

With the raging boulders, the area near the city gate had already become a ruin, the bodies were even more erect, the streets were covered with broken stones and blood sprinkled all over the ground.

Facing the Cao soldiers attacking with stone throwing machines, the defenders were at a loss, but due to the huge gap in military strength between the two sides, the defenders could only defend the city. Once the city gate was opened and Cao soldiers rushed in, they could not resist much time.

I don’t know how much time has passed, the city walls are covered with stone chips, and there are as many as one or two hundred guards killed and injured. Just when everyone was still scared, Cao’s attack suddenly stopped.

But before everyone could take a breath, countless dense arrows flew from the sky, like locusts flying all over the sky, very dense.

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh..."

Thousands of sharp arrows cut through the sky...

The defenders close to the city wall luckily avoided the attack of the huge rock, but facing these locust arrows, they were really guilty. A series of arrows fell on the city wall, and groups of defenders were shot by flying arrows, either falling in a pool of blood or lying on the ground and wailing.

Zhang Yan curled up and pressed tightly against the city wall. The sound of "swooshing" was endless. Faced with such a violent rain of arrows, he was powerless.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow fell from the sky, cutting through his left arm directly, and blood immediately emerged.

A few seconds later, the first wave of arrows had completely fallen, and the defenders on the city tower were attacked by consecutive huge rocks and arrows, which had been reduced by one third, with heavy casualties.

Afterwards, Cao's army shot three waves of arrows in a row, and the defenders were suppressed by Cao's arrows so they could not raise their heads and could not counterattack. In this short period of time, more than 600 defenders on the city wall actually died, and most of the remaining more than 400 were injured.

At this moment, a deafening shout suddenly came from outside the city, and Cao's army began to attack the city!

Zhang Yan braved the rain of arrows and looked out of the city, but saw a large number of people outside the city. The soldiers of the Cao army had no formation at all. The infantry carried the ladder and pushed the siege to attack the city, and rushed towards Pengcheng in a mess, like a huge torrent, densely packed, like an ant.

This time, tens of thousands of Cao troops outside the city launched an attack on Pengcheng. The huge shouts were deafening, and they shouted out the courage of Cao army, but they made everyone in Pengcheng frightened.

"Cao army has attacked the city, defend quickly!" Chen Deng was anxious. Seeing that Cao army was as crazy as if they were rushing towards Pengcheng, he shouted hysterically.

Although Zhang Yan's left arm was injured, it was only a few skin injuries, which could not prevent him from counterattacking with his bow and arrow. Seeing the numerous Cao army, Zhang Yan was completely crazy. He pulled out three arrows from his arrow bag at one time, and all put them on the bowstrings. Then he shot three arrows at one time. The three arrows shot at three different Cao soldiers. Each arrow could accurately shoot a Cao soldier, showing the amazing ability of his modern mercenary.

He has received inhuman training since he was a child and his physical fitness is very good. Although the body he occupies now is not his, thankfully, the quality of this physical fitness can also be compared with him.

As a mercenary killer, his killing skills are very superb. In addition to using various guns, he is not vague even with cold weapons. Bows and crossbows were once his usual weapons. With his superb archery skills, he just let Cao Bing taste his power.

Zhang Yan shot three arrows and shot three people at once. Any Cao soldier who was shot by him would die immediately. In just a short while, he shot nearly twenty Cao soldiers in a row, which was really a veritable murder machine.

At this time, reinforcements from the city continued to come and immediately made up for the defense of the city tower. The defenders used their bows and arrows in their hands to shoot fiercely at the Cao army who were constantly approaching the city.

Faced with the tough counterattack of the defenders, Cao's soldiers were killed and injured, but no one retreated. Instead, the death of their companions angered them, making these Cao soldiers move forward even more fearlessly.

Cao's army quickly approached the city wall, and the archers began to counterattack the city wall. Arrows flew around the two armies, both of which were defenders and Cao's army, and they were killed and injured.

Zhang Yan continued to exert force, and after seven consecutive shots, his penis strength dropped significantly. Archery was also a physical job. The further he went, the more obvious the physical strength was, and his firing rate was significantly slower.

"There are too many Cao soldiers. If this continues, even if you are not killed, you will be exhausted to death..."
