Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

With Ju Hu's order, the crossbows in the hands of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Rising Bear Army pulled again. In just a few dozen seconds, hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows rushed toward the Puyang city wall continuously; this was an indiscriminate coverage shooting, and the crossbow arrows covered the sky into black, hitting the Puyang city wall like a storm.

The Cao army soldiers who had just laughed at the Puyang city wall had no smiles anymore. They were all frightened by the raindrop arrows and stood foolishly on the city wall, not knowing how to avoid and defend.

The Cao army soldiers on the Puyang city wall were stunned, and countless screams and howlings sounded. Countless Cao army soldiers fell on the city wall. Although most of the soldiers did not die, they had already had colorful clothes on their bodies and blood was splattering everywhere.

Li Dian yelled while hiding: "Find a place to hide!"

At this time, there was a place to hide on the Puyang city wall, and under this uninterrupted rain of arrows, it was only a matter of being ravaged. After hearing Li Dian and Liu Yan's shouts, the Cao army soldiers standing foolishly on the city wall remembered to raise their shields; but the small shield could not be covered all over and would be hit by arrows from time to time.

Li Dian was still in shock and subconsciously looked at the place on the city wall that was ravaged by arrows. This was the area that Lu Ning Army crossbow archers focused on, and even the city was ravaged by arrows. The crossbow arrows in the hands of Lu Ning Army soldiers fiercely shot out dense arrows, almost completely covering the sunshine on the city wall. The arrows kept flying in the sky. No one knew where they would shoot and whose lives would take away.

Even the smartest soldier could not estimate the landing point of the arrow. In such an occasion, he could only rely on the favor of heaven and earth. Li Dian had no choice but to have the archers under his command, and his archers could not counterattack against Lu Ning's army. The range of his archers could not reach such a long distance. Even if he shot, he would lose his lethality, which made Li Dian and Liu Yan very depressed.

Under the ravages of the crossbows of Lu Ning's army, Cao's soldiers on the Puyang city walls continued to fall, and the number of casualties rose sharply. The Lu Ning's army seemed to have no concerns about the waste of crossbows and was still shooting continuously. This crazy shooting that was not enough for Li Dian to imagine.

Liu Yan, who woke up, immediately suggested using wooden boards to raise the city walls so that they could slightly resist the attack of Lu Ning's army's arrows. This was also impossible. Although the effect would not be good, they were used during Xingyang defense, but there was no better way to defend.

After hearing this, Li Dian immediately ordered his soldiers to look for things like wooden boards in the city and raise the city wall as soon as possible. Tian Chou's army did not attack the city, but continued to attack with crossbows, which also allowed Li Dian and others to quickly build things like wooden boards on the city wall, which made the Puyang city wall much higher and indeed could defend some arrows.

A soldier said, "General, what should I do if Lu Ning's army attacks the city in this way? We can't hide all the time!"

Li Dian cursed: "You are idiot! Lu Ningjun did not bring any siege equipment at all. How can he siege the city?"

Li Dian had no choice. If the soldiers were asked to go out of the city to attack the crossbowmen of the Lu Ning army, it would be basically impossible. The Lu Ning army's infantry was also very powerful. Besides, the Lu Ning army's infantry was guarding each side of the Lu Ning army's infantry! This leaving the city would only cause a waste of troops and generals, and there would be no benefit.

Tian Chou had never thought that it would be an unwise method to force the attack on the city wall; it would definitely cost a huge casualty price to attack the city wall, which was not cost-effective for the Lu Ning Army; the Lu Ning Army attached the most importance to the lives of soldiers, and those who could directly solve problems with weapons and equipment would never let the soldiers take risks easily; the Lu Ning Army regarded the lives of soldiers as the first priority, and the consumption of costs was not a big problem.

Tian Chou saw countless wooden boards erected on the wall of Puyang, and smiled with a gloomy smile: "Stop shooting! Let the crossbow and catapults bomb the city wall in a storm-like manner."

After receiving the order, Ju Hu commanded 10,000 soldiers of the Rising Bear Army to retreat slowly, give up the passage to the crossbow chariot and the catapult chariot to attack; while the Feixiong Iron Cavalry led by Zhang Yan and Wu Qiu Jian remained unmoved, and continued to guard the crossbow chariot and the catapult chariot to strictly prevent Cao's army from attacking.

Rumble!

The huge stones fired from the catapult cart landed on the city walls of Puyang like lightning, and the originally decent wooden boards were instantly smashed to pieces; and the fierce crossbow arrows fired from the crossbow cart directly penetrated the wooden boards and stabbed the Cao army soldiers behind the wooden boards in one fell swoop.

Howlings and sobbing sounded again on the Puyang city wall. The Cao army soldiers who were hit by the stones were even more bloody and blood splashed everywhere. This was a bloody scene. The blood from the big beaches splattered on the bodies of the soldiers on the Puyang city wall, which strongly and deeply shocked the Cao army soldiers on the city wall.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The arrows fired from the crossbow chariot roared out, and crossbow arrows shot fiercely at the Puyang city wall, harshly attacking all targets on the Puyang city wall, and even accompanied by Cao's soldiers falling down. The crossbow arrows shot from the crossbow chariot were very powerful. Even if a general like Li Dian was shot, no matter how powerful his martial arts were or how exquisite the armor was, he would be as fragile as a piece of paper in front of these crossbows.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Rows of crossbow arrows shot out from the crossbow cart, carrying out unscrupulous bombardment on the Puyang city wall. The crossbow arrows roared away from the ground, tore all the wooden boards on the city wall and penetrated them. The flying limbs and flesh on the city wall were splattering everywhere.

Although the catapult cart was not very casualties to the Cao army soldiers on the city wall, its powerful power was shocking and could completely destroy the morale of the Cao army soldiers. Under the attack of the crossbow cart and the catapult cart, Li Dian and Liu Yan had no choice but to look at each other and endure the torture.

The bombing of the Puyang city wall by Tianchou's army did not last long, and it stopped in just over an hour; Tianchou did not attack the city, and after he let the crossbow arrows raid, he took his soldiers back to the camp.

Li Dian and Liu Yan on the Puyang city walls breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Ning's army retreating. This was too uncomfortable for this unilateral attack. This was Li Dian's second time that he had experienced such destruction. The decisive battle in Nei Tianqian made Li Dian still feel scared, and the siege made Li Dian even more afraid.

Liu Yan said in confusion: "What's going on with the Lu Ning army? Why don't you attack the city wall? In the Battle of Xingyang a few years ago, the Lu Ning army did not stop and immediately collided with the Xingyang city gate; this time it seemed that Lu Ning had no intention of attacking the city."

Li Dian smiled bitterly and said, "If Lu Ningjun still shoots every day like this, the soldiers will collapse in less than a few days, let alone resist."

Liu Yan said: "Mancheng, why don't we have a sneak attack on Lu Ning's camp tonight?"

Li Dian shook his head and said, "Tian Chou has been through the battlefield for a long time and has experienced countless battles. He will definitely have strict defenses on the camp and will not give us a chance. If we fail to attack and are attacked instead, we will have no soldiers to defend the city. Let's wait for the lord's reinforcements!"

Liu Yan said: "Mancheng, will there be reinforcements there? I heard that Qingzhou was also attacked, Xuzhou was also attacked, and Taishi Ci from Xingyang also led the army to advance towards Xuchang, and the lord's army was tightly involved in Guandu, and the situation was not very good."

Li Dian shook his head and said, "This time, the Lu Ning army dispatched five armies to counterattack us. The force reached 150,000. This was the most troops that Lu Ning sent. Even when he wiped out the Xianbei army, Lu Ning only sent tens of thousands of troops. Lu Ning really respected us!"

Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "That boy Lu Ning is just a mad dog. Once he gets into trouble, he will take revenge immediately. Our lord seems to be a wrong decision this time, and he really shouldn't have taken action against Lu Ning."

Li Dian smiled bitterly and said, "We can't control these things. You and I will be on duty at night in the middle of the night. You will be in the middle of the night and I will be in the middle of the night. Don't let the Lu Ning army attack the city."

Liu Yan said: "Listen to you."
