Chapter 156: The Attack Begins

Zhong Jin did not follow the order, but said in embarrassment: "General, I see that the enemy's city walls are high and the ditches are deep. Most of our troops are cavalry. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my three thousand cavalry to charge to the enemy's city.

.”

Xiahou Dun led an army of 50,000 people as a vanguard to attack Shouchun City. Xiahou Dun himself directly commanded 30,000 soldiers, and the others were led by generals from various ministries. Although the cavalry led by Zhong Jin were the most elite troops among Xiahou Dun's subordinates, these troops were all composed of

With cavalry, field combat may not be a problem, but attacking a city is still a bit difficult.

Xiahou Dun said with slight praise: "General Zhong, your troops are my proud sons. You have traveled all over the Central Plains. Are you afraid of the defeat of Youzhou's army?"

Zhong Jin also humbled himself at this time and said: "General Xiahou has been commended. If we talk about bravery, how can I compare with the general. The general once traveled across the Central Plains, killed the remaining Yellow Turbans, defeated Xuzhou, killed Liu Pi, and guarded the five passes.

, prestigious.”

Zhong Jin is not an idiot. Although Zhong Jin is Xiahou Dun's general, he does not want to waste the lives of his subordinate brothers in vain.

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he couldn't help being furious and said sternly: "I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If I go into battle in person, who will take command? General Zhong, you are so pushy and arrogant, are you trying to disobey orders?"

In anger, Xiahou Dunxing's eyes widened angrily, the two fingers holding the gun made a faint sound, and murderous intent burst out. Zhong Jin was frightened by Xiahou Dun's power and aura, and his whole body was shocked.

Xiahou Dun has always been known for his cruelty, and he always kills generals who dare to disobey his orders. Thinking about these, Zhong Jin trembles a little. In desperation, Zhong Jin had no choice but to turn his horse and take off his battle ax.

before mobilizing his own army.

Then, three thousand cavalry slowly came out of the formation and began to advance towards the front of the city.

Seeing that Zhong Jin had to carry out his order, Xiahou Dun had a sly smile on his lips, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you beat the drums to cheer for General Zhong." At the order, the rumble of war drums rose to the sky,

Tens of thousands of Cao's troops who stormed the formation shouted in unison to cheer.

Amidst the roaring shouts of death, three thousand cavalry rushed out, like a rolling flood, rushing across the fields and rushing towards the city.

Guan Jing on top of the city tightly held the long sword in his hand. This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale cavalry attack.

He could even feel the ground beneath his feet shaking faintly. The sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, the enemy's shouts of death, and the chaotic sound of war drums pierced his eardrums.

Guan Jing clenched the long knife tightly this time, gritted his teeth secretly and said: "Come on, you bastards, let me, Guan Jing, see how capable you are!"

Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the enemy was approaching within 200 steps.

Guan Jing pointed his long sword and shouted: "Archers, prepare!" The order was given, the flag waved, and the first group of three hundred archers who gathered on the top of the city quickly raised their long bows.

They are all sharp arrows.

"Let go." With the command, three hundred sharp arrows shot up into the air, crossed arcs, and fell towards the charging enemy.

As expected, most of the long arrows that fell down missed, and only a few were able to hit the enemy.

However, these elite cavalry troops were able to dodge the incoming arrows keenly. After this round of arrow attacks, less than a dozen of them were hit by arrows.

After a round of crossbows, the cavalry led by Zhong Jin were less than a hundred steps away from the city. The soldiers with two horses had long ladders hanging behind the horses. Guan Jing shouted loudly: "Let me go." The first batch

About four hundred archers flew into the sky again.

Four hundred feathered arrows soared into the sky again, roaring towards the enemy with the sound of a thousand birds flapping their wings.

Arrows rained down like rain, and dozens of cavalry were shot to the ground on the spot, but they still could not stop Cao's cavalry from advancing.

Without a large number of strong bows and crossbows, it was indeed impossible to withstand the impact of the enemy's iron cavalry. Guan Jing secretly complained in his heart, but there was no trace of panic on his face. He shouted loudly: "Prepare the sawtooth sky bow for me, spear and shield bearer."

Prepare to meet the enemy."

Amidst the thunderous roar, serrated long arrows suddenly shot out from the long bow. The short long arrow knocked several enemy soldiers to the ground in an instant, and after hitting the ground, it looked like a fountain.

Blood spurted out directly.

In a moment, three thousand cavalry had rushed to the city. They dismounted one after another, then climbed up the ladder, preparing to attack the city.

At the same time, these undismounted cavalry quickly opened their bows and fired arrows. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand sharp arrows came like raindrops.

The densely packed arrows were bounced off by the turning heads on the city wall. Only a few of them penetrated the defense of the city wall. This round of arrows was easily blocked. The following follow-up

The enemy cavalry, facing the high city wall, began to launch a fierce attack.
