Han Meng pushed forward fiercely, and the ladder suddenly fell down.
"Not good!"
"General Xu is in danger!"
Seeing the ladder falling down rapidly, tens of thousands of soldiers from Liangzhou outside the city immediately exclaimed. We should know that the head of Yecheng is seven or eight meters. If one falls down and his head falls to the ground, the possibility of dying on the spot is very great.
Although faced with extreme danger, Xu Huang was calm and calm in the face of danger.
Xu Huang yelled, and with all his arms, he flipped the ladder from mid air. Originally, the ladder fell, and Xu Huang was under the ladder, but Xu Huang turned the ladder from mid air with great strength.
Click!
The ladder smashed hard on the ground, but Xu Huang fell on the ladder, shaking his whole body. Then he rolled several times and hit the body of a Liangzhou army, and then stopped.
Han Meng was worried that Xu Huang was not dead, so he quickly ordered: "where are the archers? Shoot the arrow
"Protect General Xu!"
Without waiting for Liu Ye's order, thousands of Liangzhou troops who were close to him rushed out spontaneously and arched around Xu Huang to protect him.
"Raise the shield!"
Countless iron shields were raised, and thousands of iron shields were combined in one place, forming an impregnable iron curtain. At this time, the arrows of Jizhou army on the head of the city fell like rain.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thousands of arrows were pinned on the shield, and then bounced off. A few of them shot at the unfortunate Liangzhou soldiers through the gap between the shields. From time to time, Xu Huang was well protected.
Seeing this, Liu Ye grabs an iron bow behind his back without saying a word. He holds a wolf toothed arrow in the arrow bag and puts it on the bow string. He opens the bow to catch the arrow.
"Archer, Liangzhou cavalry!" Liu Ye pulls the bow string and shouts: "shoot to this general, let this group of Jizhou soldiers know the power of our Liangzhou army!"
"Shoot back!"
The Liangzhou army archers and dismounted Liangzhou iron cavalry set up their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the head of Ye City.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Liu Ye releases the bow string and shoots the first arrow, which seems to be a signal. Nearly 10000 arrows are then shot together. I saw the flying arrow like a locust, like a dense fog shrouded in the whole Yecheng city.
"Go back and hide behind the wall!"
Han Meng's eyes were wide open, and he turned and ran away.
You're kidding. Even if you're armed and shot by thousands of arrows, who can live? Even heavy infantry have to be targeted. It's crazy not to run.
Three hundred halberds quickly turned around and ran. As soon as their front feet left the city, they immediately filled with arrows. Even an elephant had to die on the spot.
Among the 300 halberds, more than a dozen were slow-moving, full of arrows on their backs, which penetrated into their necks, pierced through their armor and destroyed everything.
It was not easy for Han mengcai to lead more than 200 halberds to retreat into the women's wall. However, some worried halberds picked up a shield to protect their heads.
It has to be said that the scene of nearly ten thousand archers firing together is really magnificent. Looking at the nearly ten thousand arrows all over the sky, almost covering the whole city, Liu Ye can't help but smile and recall the missile volley of the motherland.
Under the strong arrow rain attack of Liangzhou army, Jizhou army hid behind the women's wall one after another, and did not dare to move at all. However, the soldiers of Liangzhou are still not enjoying themselves. They are pouring their arrows at the head of the city. The number is increasing. Liu Ye even doubts that if he shoots down like this, Yecheng will be destroyed?
However, after seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, the strong attack of Liangzhou soldiers' archers gradually stopped.
The reason is very simple. You should know that archery is an extremely exhausting sport. Ordinary people have no energy to shoot a few or three arrows when they are full of bows. Although the archers of Liangzhou army have been trained, their shooting speed is very low, and they just feel that their arms are numb and can't be lifted up.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "general, our army's ten thousand arrows are fired at the same time, which is enough to frighten the Jizhou army."
Jia Xu's face was also smiling. It was rare to see such a big scene as the shooting of thousands of arrows.
Liu Ye was laughing and said, "ha ha ha, escort General Xu back to the camp and withdraw the troops!"
More than 40000 troops in Liangzhou cheered loudly and raised their arms. Although they failed to capture Yecheng, their morale was greatly boosted because of the ten thousand arrows. After a few cheers, they slowly closed down and retreated into the camp.
"Gongming, is it OK?"
After Liu Ye orders, he drives his horse to rush out, rushes to Xu Huang and asks.
"General, hey hey, somebody's life is too big to die."
Xu Huang lies on the arm of a few soldiers, he laughs, but his left hand is soft and sagging down.
With a frown on his brow, Liu Ye jumps off the horse's back and goes forward. He gently holds Xu Huang's hand. Xu Huang's face suddenly changes and his cold sweat flows. It is obvious that he broke his arm when he jumped down from the ladder just now.
"Be patient?" Liu Ye warned.
"Well?"Xu Huang is stunned. Before he reacts, Liu Ye holds his left hand and left shoulder.
Click!
"Ah! Well... "
Liu Ye raised his hand and leaned on it. First, he felt a pain. Then he found that his left hand was better...
Xu Huang tried to move his arm. Although it was a little sour, it was no longer in the way.
"Thank you, general!" Xu Huang said excitedly.
Liu Ye smiles: "it's good to say that Gongming should be rewarded for fighting for the city this time."
Xu Huang's face showed a look of shame: "Huang has a heavy burden. He is going to ask the general to punish him. Where dare he ask for a reward?"
However, Liu Ye shook his head and said, "no, Gongming sacrificed his life to attack the city, and the three armies fought bravely. Although Ye City could not be conquered, the soldiers in Liangzhou were very angry. Although they had no military achievements, they had made painstaking contributions. Shouldn't they be rewarded?"
After that, Liu Ye turned around and said in a loud voice, "all the troops have heard that. We must be brave in future battles! It's military merit to fight and kill the enemy, but it's hard work to fight bravely. There's a reward for hard work. Do you understand? "
"No!"
"Fight for the general!"
"Long live the general!"
The morale of tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers was greatly improved, and they all raised their arms to express their joy.
Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction and told Xu Huang, "since Gongming is injured, let's go down and rest for a while."
"Thank you, general."
Although Liu Ye has taken over Xu Huang's left arm, there are still many bruises on his body, and he almost loses his strength. Therefore, under the protection of his own guards, he returns to the camp.
Liu Ye is serious: "call on all the generals in the army to discuss the military situation."
After today's fierce attack, more than 40000 Liangzhou army had already consumed a lot of strength, so they returned to the camp to rest. The main tent of the army was the brightly lit Liangzhou army, where important civil and military personnel gathered.
Sitting on the throne, Liu Ye looks majestic and says to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, how many casualties are our soldiers today?"
