Chapter 392: The cruel Liu Bei

People's hearts are measurable, but fate is hard to violate! Some things really cannot be explained clearly.

Just like Cao Cao didn't know that Huangfu Jian had arrived in Luoyang, Liu Bei would never have thought that Zhang Zuzheng, deputy general of the Longxiang Camp of the Dawu Kingdom, led three thousand elite troops to come to Zhuyuan Pass, which was not far from Zhuyuan Pass.

The time left for Liu Bei was not the two hours he imagined!

Cao Cao spent all his efforts to bury the Hulao Pass for tens of thousands of lives, in order to attract everyone's attention to Hulao Pass, and then use a fierce attack and elite troops attacked the Hulao Pass to open the southeastern gate of Luoyang. This was originally a perfect plan, but he never thought that when it was about to complete the last attack, he was discovered by the genius Guo Jia.

Things are unpredictable. Huangfu Jian didn't come late or early, but came to Luoyang the night when Cao Cao implemented the plan. If Guo Jia had not proposed to strengthen the defense of the Luyuan Pass, Huangfu Jian would not have personally issued an order and sent general Zhang Zuxingye to lead troops to reinforce this dangerous pass that seemed safe.

All this is just a coincidence, or is it a number of days in the dark?

At the gate of the archers, archers were shooting against Cao's army under the city through the battlements. Although there were covers of the battlements, casualties were inevitable. From time to time, some people fell to the ground with screams and some people made up for it in time. The three hundred arrow positions were always full. The three hundred shield soldiers held a knife in one hand and raised their shields in the other, closely watching the battlefield below. Their opponents were those enemies who tried to climb the city wall.

Although there was no fierce battle, in just a moment, both sides suffered huge casualties, and a strong smell of blood filled the sky above the Shuyuan Pass. This was just the beginning, and I don’t know how many people were going to fall under the Shuyuan Pass.

The captain Ding Gao held a spear in his hand, looking at the archers falling down the city and the two teams of Cao's army advancing down the city, with a slightly solemn expression. Although he knew that General Zhang Su was leading three thousand elite troops on the way, he did not know when Zhang Su would arrive, and whether the defenders in Guanzhong could persist until Zhang Su's reinforcements arrived.

"Prepare for the catapult!"

"Prepare for the city guard crossbow!"

"Stone preparation!"...

Ding Gao kept shouting to vent his inner tension.

Although Ding Gao was promoted to the current position of lieutenant through the sword and spear from the lowest level, he killed countless people and had long been used to life and death. But it was one thing to hold a knife to chop people by himself, and another thing to lead the army to fight. After all, it was the first time he led his troops alone to make some things. It was the first time he faced such a crisis, and it was fake to say he was not nervous.

Although the Pass is small, the city guarding equipment on the Pass is complete.

Five catapults and five city-guarding crossbows arranged on the top of the city. These city-guarding weapons were originally used to deal with the enemy's large siege equipment. Next to each battlement, a pile of stones was piled up, each stone weighing about ten pounds. Use these thick guys to smash enemies close to the city wall, and throw them quickly and have great lethality. They are better than bows and arrows, and they can be regarded as a city-guarding weapon.

At this time, Ding Gao could no longer care about so many. Regardless of whether the opponent had large siege equipment or not, he directly ordered the defenders to use catapults and defenders to bombard the two teams of Cao's troops rushing down the city.

The thick long throw pole on the catapult cart was raised high, and then it was shot harder, and lit oil bullets roared towards Cao Jun's head. With another bang, fire flashed everywhere in an instant, which looked extremely spectacular from a distance...

Under the control of five defenders, the huge bowstring strings with its thick arms creaked and gradually opened. Then the guards of the city suddenly pulled the trigger. A huge arrow as thick as a spear roared and shot at Cao's army.

Whether it is the oil bomb thrown by a catapult cart or the giant crossbow shot from a city guard crossbow, the lethality of ordinary soldiers is actually not very strong, and it is not as strong as a small crossbow. But the momentum is indeed huge, and it is really good to scare people.

Some of the Cao army soldiers who were rushing forward were caught in oil bombs, caught fire, and started to burn, and soon became firemen. Although there were not many people on fire, only a dozen people, the disaster brought to the Cao army by these dozen people was huge. These firemen screamed with tears, while dancing and dancing with flames on their bodies, running around among the dense Cao army.

It was like everyone was running away. Who would dare to let these firemen hit them? Even if they listened to their screams, it would be terrifying... The originally rigorous formation was rushed by these firemen and suddenly became chaotic.

Some people were pierced by powerful giant crossbows, leaving a thick blood hole in their bodies, and their intestines were dragged out, blood was flowing, and people were still running forward. Like zombies in the future, they were extremely terrifying, and the scary they were as scary as they were…

Oil bullets roar, giant crossbow roaring...

It's so terrible! For these elite Cao's army, death in battle is not terrible. What's more terrifying than death is the fear in their hearts. After a few rounds of oil bombs and giant crossbows fell on the top of the city, the two teams of Cao's army collapsed and turned around and fled to the rear.

Liu Bei looked from a distance, his face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. He could not have imagined that such a result would occur.

He is a ruthless man, a ruthless man who can throw his wife and children away for the sake of the country and country. He is also ruthless against his enemies and his own people. He has ruthless means, so Liu Bei cannot let this rare opportunity to be successful.

"The person who retreats will be killed!" Liu Bei's face was dark, raised his sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

Yi Qian soldiers who had followed Liu Bei for many years acted as the supervisor, and set up an attacking formation in front of Liu Bei. The sword and shield soldiers squatted halfway, raised their shields in front and held the sword. The archer blew the bow and arrows in the back, pointing directly at his own person who had escaped.

I don’t know if they didn’t hear Liu Bei’s shouting, or if their fear exceeded their awe of military orders, the two panicked Cao troops rushed straight towards the supervisory team and got closer.

"Those who retreat will be killed!" Liu Bei shouted again, saying the word "slaying" was heavy and long.

Facing the fierce supervision team, listening to Liu Bei's roar, most of the soldiers calmed down. Some stopped and looked around; some turned around and walked towards the direction of Luoyuanguan; and some rushed up dizzyly.

"Shoot!" Without killing, it is not enough to establish authority. Liu Bei resolutely swung the sharp sword in his hand.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Liu Bei's personal soldiers shot out the arrows in their hands.

More than a hundred Cao troops screamed and fell to the ground, falling into a pool of blood. There were also several firemen covered in fire...

Liu Bei drew a gap with the range of bows and arrows in front of him, and a line of death. Those who crossed the boundary died!

The Cao soldiers who died at Liu Bei's hands were far more than the Cao soldiers who died at the city walls and giant crossbows.

Liu Bei's cold and bloody methods finally intimidated these terrified Cao soldiers. There was a wolf in front of him and there was a tiger behind him. These courageous Cao soldiers rushed towards the city walls at the risk of being burned into fire and being pierced by giant crossbows.

"Follow me in the future!" At this time, Guan Yu had already rode his horse to the rioters and shouted loudly.

Guan Yu took the lead and led the group of Cao's army to rush towards Zhuyuan Pass. As the saying goes, generals are the courage of soldiers. With Guan Yu's leading role, Cao's army finally regained some courage and gradually returned to normal. These Cao soldiers were originally the elite forces of Cao's army and were well-trained, but they were caught off guard by oil bombs and giant crossbows, and they were panicked for a moment.

Under the leadership of Guan Yu, the tiger general, Cao's army passed through the line of the oil bomb and giant crossbow as quickly as possible. Although several people were ignited by the oil bomb and several were pierced by the giant crossbow, Cao's army was mentally prepared this time and did not cause chaos again.

"Stealing and shield soldiers cover, and archers stand in formation!" When he was sixty steps away from the city, Guan Yu ordered the remaining soldiers to stop.

After a round trip, there were less than 800 people left in the thousand Cao troops, most of whom died at the hands of Liu Bei’s commander.

At this time, there were only more than a hundred people left in the first batch of 300 archers. The second wave of Cao's army and the first batch of more than a hundred archers merged together and laid a tight array of arrows sixty steps away from the city wall.

Guan Yu could see that although the catapult carts and the city guard crossbow on the top of the city were hideous and terrifying and powerful, they also had fatal weaknesses. Their firing speed was slow and the range was long, so they could only shoot at a fixed point. For the close-range array arrow, these big guys became decorations and did not have any threats.

"Shoot!" Guan Yu let out a long sigh, waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and ordered loudly.

The two groups of people merged, with more than 500 archers, and with swords, shields and hands covering them, the advantage immediately emerged. With Guan Yu's order, more than 500 sharp arrows shot towards the top of the city.

Originally, it was just suppression and counter-suppression. The number of archers in the city was equivalent to that in the city, and there were wall covers on the city, so the archers in the city had an absolute advantage. But at this moment, the number of archers under the city was almost twice that of the city, and the dense rain of arrows under the city almost covered the entire city.

The screams of "Ah, ah, ah..." kept coming from the city, and the arrows shot from the city were obviously much sparse.

Arrows were everywhere on the top of the city of Luyuan Pass. Not only were the archers seriously injured, but there were also many casualties in the sword and shield soldiers.

"Cheer well! Keep shooting!" Guan Yu was excited when he saw this, as if he had found a way to break through the pass.

This time, Guan Yu was not in a hurry to climb the wall to fight. He wanted to take advantage of the number of archers to shoot all the defenders on the top of the city, and then attack the entire army and seize the city in one fell swoop.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the situation on the city was clearly visible. Liu Bei could see clearly that Guan Yu's arrow formation had the power to establish his power.

"Okay! The second brother is fighting well!" Liu Bei, who was not far away, shouted excitedly when he saw this.

"All the archers came forward and wiped out all the defenders on the top of the city!"

For a moment, Liu Bei was ambitious and waved his two swords and transferred the last thousand Cao troops up. The only one thousand of his personal soldiers remained by his side.
