Chapter 293 Forced to fight(2/2)
When the defenders were suppressed by trebuchets and crossbows, the Yellow Turban Army archers approached the city wall under the cover of the carriages. The archers defending the city fired at the attacking Yellow Turban Army, and the arrows fell on the carriages covered with cowhide.
Unable to kill Yellow Turban Archers.
When the Yellow Turban Army archers arrived at the city, they appeared from behind the carriage and fired at the defenders on the city wall. Both sides exchanged arrows.
"Use the bed crossbow!"
In order to defend the city, Zang Ba and Sun Guan placed many double-bowed crossbows in the city.
The soldiers holding sledgehammers hit the crossbows, and the thick crossbow arrows were shot out. The Yellow Turban Army was as thin as paper, penetrated by the crossbow arrows, and nailed to the ground!
However, the casualties of the Yellow Turbans wounded by crossbow arrows were almost negligible for the 80,000 Yellow Turbans.
"You can't stop my 80,000 people!"
Guan Hai, the general of the Yellow Turban Army who was incorporated, carried a sword and commanded 80,000 Yellow Turban troops to attack the city.
The advantage of the Yellow Turban Army lies in its numbers, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes!
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun could hear the cry of killing. They were coerced by Mr. Zhao and had to save Zang Ba and Sun Guan.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan have been defending the city for a long time, and the materials used to defend the city have been exhausted. If they do not relieve the siege, the cities will be lost, and Ju County and Kaiyang County will be difficult to defend.
"It seems that we can only fight with Master Zhao. I don't know if we can win. Our military strength is at a disadvantage and we have no infantry or archers to support us."
"Zhucheng has to be saved, so we can only take a gamble."
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun briefly discussed and finally decided to take the risk.
Mr. Zhao can survive the catastrophe of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and occupy half of Qingzhou. His ability is definitely not weak. He can force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight decisively, which is the embodiment of his ability.
"Two generals, General Hua Mulan's war eagle!"
A white horseman pointed from the cavalry to the sky, and saw a black war eagle circling in the sky.
"Our reinforcements will surely arrive soon and we can fight Master Zhao for a decisive battle!"
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun knew that war eagles were often accompanied by Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts. Once the war eagles appeared, the iron eagle scout cavalry and larger legions would soon arrive.
In other words, they can now fight to the death with Mr. Zhao.
The war eagle landed on Xue Rengui's horse. The war eagle's talons were still tied with copper pipes, and there was a note stuffed inside.
The more than 20,000 cavalrymen continued to retreat for two miles, and finally had to spread out their formation, as if they were forced to accept the battle.
Prince Zhao took Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Taishi Ci, and Xue Wanche as generals and deployed 70,000 troops.
"Chu Zimou has occupied Taishan County and can only defeat Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun as soon as possible."
Mr. Zhao placed the infantry in the middle, the cavalry on the left and right wings, and the Eight Banners cavalry and Guan Ning cavalry on one side.
Zhao Gongzi personally commanded the infantry, Taishi Ci commanded the archers, and Xue Wanche commanded some cavalry as a reserve force.
There are only Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun on the opposite side. As long as the 70,000-strong army charges without fear of death, Mr. Zhao believes that he will soon destroy the opponent's cavalry.
The cavalry, which lacks the cover of infantry and archers, cannot exert its power in the surrounding hilly terrain.
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had to fight to the death, and the balance of the war tipped to Mr. Zhao's side.
"Chu Zimou, I'm sorry. In the competition in the Central Plains, only one person can succeed. We have no choice."
