Cao Ren's hearing gradually returned to normal, but when he saw the mess in the city gate, he was completely dumbfounded. The huge power of the explosion just now made him feel a little frightened when he thought about it. If everyone in the Huaxia Army really
With such powerful weapons, this war would be impossible to fight.
In a field battle, there may be a slight chance of victory, but in a city defense battle, as long as explosives are thrown into the city, no matter how strong the city is, it will be razed to the ground.
There was thick blood everywhere in the city gate. Broken limbs could be seen everywhere. Intestines, brains, and blood were everywhere. If you were not used to seeing killings, you would probably retching when you saw this scene.
Even people who are used to seeing killings have never seen such a messy scene.
Inside the city gate, there are about two hundred living beings, each of them a strong soldier. However, they are so vulnerable in front of such a small bag of things. Human life is so fragile!
Cao Ren hurriedly ordered soldiers to block the city gate, fearing that the Chinese army would attack. He left Yang Fu here to clean up the stumps inside the city gate. He personally climbed up the city tower and looked at the movements of the Chinese army outside the city. He discovered that Zhou Cang was leading
The men were clearing away the snow and were almost within range.
He shook his head, getting rid of all the unpleasantness just now, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Bring the awl!"
The soldiers said "Promise", turned around and went down the tower. Not long after, groups of soldiers holding bundles of armor awls climbed onto the tower and distributed the armor awls to the archers one after another. The archers replaced them.
The armor awls were revealed, the bows and arrows were drawn, and everyone was in high spirits.
Cao Ren also took a bow, drew it fully, and then shot an arrow outward with an ordinary arrow. After the arrow flew out, it landed on a piece of snow. He visually measured the distance and found that it was about a mile.
After about one hundred and eighty steps, he shot a second arrow, but the force of the second arrow was relatively small.
The shot was about a hundred paces away. After setting the arrow, he confidently said to the archers around him: "Show me clearly. One hundred and eighty paces away, shoot with ordinary arrows.
You are only allowed to shoot three arrows, a hundred steps away, and change the armor cone, and you must not let the Chinese army get even one step closer to the city wall!"
"No!" Two thousand archers lined up on the city wall. Because Huayin City is not located in a dangerous area, there is a large open space in front of the city wall. However, the city wall is stretched from north to south, which can block its roads. After several
Years of gradual reinforcement made this place a great pass.
At this time, Cao Ren saw that the Chinese army began to float, advancing from a distance, and stopped about 250 steps away, forming a square battle formation. Looking at it, there were a lot of people. He frowned and ordered again
Four thousand archers were mobilized and stood in the second and third rows, preparing to use bows and arrows to stop the advance of the Chinese army.
In addition, Cao Ren also used heavy infantry to block the city gate, took out all the 100,000 armor-piercing awls stored in the weapons depot, and asked dedicated personnel to transport them.
After Cao Ren arranged everything, Zhoucang's front part had also arrived. At this time, Zhoucang's front part had been replaced three times, clearing snow and clearing roads. It was a laborious job, and the number of people increased from 500 to 2,000.
People, start to move forward.
The outside of Huayin City looks like a gourd when viewed from the air. The mountain road to the east is narrow and cannot accommodate so many people side by side. But once you get out of the mountain road and arrive in front of Huayin City, you will see a huge
In the open space, two thousand people could stand side by side. When Cao Ren was building the pass, he wanted to move the city forward a certain distance.
However, after careful consideration, we considered strengthening the existing city. The reason was that the Wei State had no money at that time and could not build a new city, and building a new city also required a lot of manpower and material resources. However, later,
Gradually reinforced, Huayin is like a Great Wall running east to west, and nothing has happened in the past few years.
At this time, the men led by Zhou Cang were advancing forward. When they advanced about 180 steps, arrows were shot from the city wall. Zhou Cang and others held their shields and continued to advance as if nothing was wrong, because in their hands
He was holding a steel shield, so it was easy to block those iron arrows.
The Wei army also stopped after some shooting, and Zhou Cang and others advanced boldly. After a while, Zhou Cang and others came to a distance of a hundred steps from the city wall.
At this time, Cao Ren took out the armor-piercing awl, filled his bow with arrows, and shouted at Zhou Cang and others under the city wall: "If you take one step closer, you will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Cang and others ignored him and continued to work hard.
Cao Ren showed a sinister smile on his face and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
After giving the order, arrows rained down like rain. At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and there was light snow in the sky, but nothing could withstand the rain of arrows from the Wei army soldiers.
When an arrow was released, the penetrating cone immediately exerted its astonishing power. Within a hundred steps, it penetrated the shield made of thin steel of the Chinese army. At the moment of penetrating the shield, the arrow's arrowhead
It immediately penetrated into the bodies of the Chinese soldiers holding shields.
"Wow……"
This burst of arrows came with extraordinary sharpness. Although the Chinese army had shields made of steel, they could not withstand the sharpness of the armor-piercing cone. The armor-piercing cone showed its sharpness at this moment. While penetrating the shield, it also shot into the human body.
After the wave of arrows was fired, no one in Zhou Cang and the others was uninjured, and some were even hit in vital parts and died on the spot.
Zhou Cang and others were very frightened. How could the Huaxia Kingdom, which always prides itself on its sharp weapons and hard armor, be injured by the enemy's arrows? The shield was only made of thin steel, perhaps because of the sharp arrows.
The lower body is crowned with huge divine power and has a chance of being penetrated.
But behind the shield, every soldier of the Chinese Army wears a piece of steel armor. The several-inch-thick steel plate can completely protect the chest and back. But this time, the steel plate was completely penetrated, and the armor-piercing cones shot through continuously.
The shield and steel armor have been broken, and the human body has been invaded. This is an incredible thing for the Chinese army. The enemy has such sharp arrows. Can they not be surprised?
Zhou Cang was also injured. The arrow penetrated his shield and his steel armor. However, perhaps because of the weak arm strength of the archer, although the arrow penetrated the steel armor, it was already the end of a powerful crossbow and was embedded in his body.
Inside the steel armor, Zhou Cang's belly was only scratched.
He pulled out the arrow and looked at it in his hand. The arrow was diamond-shaped and the arrow was extremely sharp. It looked extremely cold in the black clothes. He touched it with his hand to test how sharp it was.
, who knew that as soon as he touched the arrow, his finger was scratched.
At this time, the second wave of arrows rained down from the sky. The Chinese soldiers held up their shields to cover themselves as usual, but this time, they turned their bodies sideways to avoid being hurt by the arrows again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The sound of countless arrows piercing the air came from high places, and then penetrated sharply into the shields of the Chinese soldiers. The arrows passed through the shields and continued to fly forward. The force did not decrease, and some of them shot straight at the target.
Some of them shot into the arm of the person holding the shield, one arrow shot through the entire arm, and some of them penetrated directly into the human body...
"Wow……"
Screams kept coming, and Zhou Cang's arm was shot through. The arrow penetrated the forearm of his left arm. He didn't shout, and he didn't dare to pull it out easily. He saw his subordinates shooting at two waves of arrows.
Most of Yanage's troops were killed, and he immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The remaining more than 800 injured soldiers ran back, but the Wei army's arrows continued to fire. This time, ordinary arrows were used to attack the defeated army from behind. The range of the arrows
It was also far away. Some people were hit by arrows in their legs, arms, and some even in their necks. There were more than 800 people, and only about 200 people actually escaped.
Once out of the shooting range, Zhou Cang and others seemed to be exhausted and fell to the ground one after another. Zhou Cang was hit by two arrows in his legs. He ran back in pain. If he had been slower, he would have been injured.
Afraid of losing his life, he turned over and felt very sad when he saw the scattered fallen subordinates in front of him.
At this time, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Liao Hua, and Gao Sen all gathered around. Seeing that Zhou Cang and others were all injured, and the injuries were still serious, Xu Huang immediately shouted: "Military doctor! Military doctor! Call the military doctor quickly!"
"
Zhou Cang handed Xu Huang a feather arrow that he was holding tightly in his hand, and said bitterly: "General Xu, the Wei army has weapons, and we are all injured by these arrows..."
A group of military doctors immediately rushed over from behind, and with the help of soldiers, they carried the injured people to a temporary place in the back for treatment.
Xu Huang took the arrow and looked at it carefully. His eyes were full of anger and he said bitterly: "Cao Ren, I, Xu Gong, swear to take your dog's head to commemorate the soldiers who were shot by you!"
Guo Jia frowned. It was incredible to see that the arrow was so sharp and could penetrate the steel armor. He glanced at Cao Ren on the wall and saw that their faces were full of joy, so he said to Xu Huang: "Xu Huang
General, it seems that Cao Ren has been prepared for a long time. The Wei State has also developed in recent years. After integrating with the Qiang people, its military strength has greatly increased. It seems that this arrow
The arrows were specially developed by the Wei army to deal with us. Such a sharp thing can actually shoot through our armor. Then our defensive armors are just like a decoration in front of the enemy and have no effect at all.
Let's stop the charge for the time being and let me think of a way to overcome this level with the least casualties."
Seeing that he couldn't fight hard anymore, Xu Huang had no choice but to nod his head, turned around and went to comfort the injured soldiers, and asked Liao Hua to lead the troops to retrieve the bodies that could be brought back.
On the wall of Huayin City, Cao Ren felt very happy. He held the armor-piercing awl tightly and shouted to his subordinates: "The Chinese army is just relying on the advantage of armor. Now we have weapons to deal with the Chinese army. Everyone,
Don’t worry anymore, come up with all your energy, as long as the Chinese army is not allowed to get close to the city wall, our army will be invincible!”
