Chapter 61 Bloody Battle
Outside Guan Yu's camp, loud horns resounded through the sky, and 15,000 soldiers gathered into a huge formation, opening their mouths to Guan Yu's camp like a ferocious beast, as if they were going to devour everything.
At the gate, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. As the enemy troops gathered layer by layer, there were even more than a dozen bed crossbows slowly advancing here in the back. His heart was slightly heavy. It seemed that Yuan Jun was determined to break through the newly-established camp before the imperial army arrived.
You should know that as a vanguard army, Guan Yu's army did not have many large weapons. Although Yuan's crossbow was old, it was also a crossbow. The power of a single shot was no worse than that of the court's Tiangang Breaking Formation Crossbow, and the range was even more than that of the Tiangang Breaking Formation Crossbow.
After watching for a while, Guan Yu frowned and said, "Why didn't you see the enemy's commander's flag??"
"This is the weird thing." Guan Ping nodded and said, "Not only the handsome flag, but also the larger flags are gone!"
Guan Yu looked at it and indeed, except for the necessary military flags, he did not even stand up. Although it was an act of showing weakness, he actually used his military strength to the extreme, 15 to 3,000. If Guan Yu could not kill the general and seize the flag, destroy the morale of the other party, and had a pure competition of military strength, he would have no chance to turn the situation around, and this would be almost a decisive situation.
"Father, we have killed Yan Liang, destroyed the enemy's aura, and also discovered the enemy's weaknesses and reality. Why not retreat first?" Guan Ping whispered.
"No!" Guan Yu flatly refused, "I am the vanguard of your Majesty. If our army retreats, most of the achievements of killing Yan Liang will be abolished."
"But Your Majesty's army will not arrive tomorrow at the earliest. With this village alone, there is no way to survive today!" Guan Ping said anxiously.
"Even if you die, you will be nailed here. Pass on my generals and prepare for war with the three armies!" Guan Yu said coldly.
Guan Ping was helpless when he heard this, but he could only respond. The rumbling drum sounded from the barracks, and rows of archers quickly stepped onto the wall of the village.
Yuan Jun at the front was almost approaching a hundred steps away. With Guan Ping's call, the archers at the gate quickly pointed the arrow at the sky and then kept shooting out. The cold clusters of arrows tear the air and fell into the crowd with sharp roars, splashing blood.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
The drum sounds of Yuan Jun’s rear formation suddenly became rapid, and the soldiers in the front row quickly raised large shields over the top. The rain of arrows that were not dense fell, making muffled sounds.
At the same time, more than a dozen bed crossbows in the back row were pushed to the direction about 150 steps away. Under the control of the crossbowman, more than a dozen crossbow arrows as thick as arms roared and broke through the air.
"Bang~"
Amid the muffled sound, the entire gate was shaking. One of the crossbow arrows was only a few steps away from Guan Yu's location. The soldiers at the gate were shocked to change their color when they saw this!
Guan Yu's eyes turned cold, he stretched out his hand, and snorted coldly: "Get my bow!"
"Here!" Zhou Cang took an iron arch from his subordinate and sent it to Guan Yu. Guan Yu reached out to take it, took out a cluster of arrows from a soldier's arrow bag and placed it on the string. He looked at Yuan Jun who was approaching with cold eyes, and snorted coldly. The muscles on his right arm suddenly rose up, and the clothes on his arm were torn apart by the muscles. With a muffled creaking, the five-stone arch had been pulled over by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's archery skills are not very high, but as a general, being a skilled archery and horse is a basic skill, so he doesn't look closely and shoots an arrow at the direction of the bed crossbow.
A strongman was proofreading the direction, and saw a flash of cold light in front of him. The cold cluster of arrows shot directly through his head and penetrated into the chest of a soldier behind him. The strongman looked forward in shock, and the body fell down, hit him, leaned forward, leaned down on the crossbow, pressed down the groove of the crossbow, and at the same time, the mechanism that controlled the crossbow strings loosened, and a thick and long crossbow arrow shot towards Yuan Jun in front. With a scream, a small formation was directly penetrated by the crossbow arrow, and at least seven or eight Yuan Jun were pierced by the crossbow arrow.
Even Guan Yu didn't expect that his arrow would have such an effect. No matter how many soldiers at the gate were concerned, they couldn't help but howl excitedly when they saw Guan Yu's divine power, and their originally sluggish morale was revived.
Among Yuan’s army, Zhang He saw that Guan Yu’s power of an arrow was so terrifying, and immediately shouted: “Let the crossbow retreat back fifty steps and continue shooting, and the archer stepped forward!”
The flag officer quickly waved the command flag, and the sound of drums in the army changed. At the same time, several horn sounds sounded. Dozens of strong men quickly carried the crossbow and retreated fifty steps before the sound of horns stopped. At the same time, the knife and shield hands in the front row protected the archers and had already enveloped the gate within the range. Rows of archers quickly stopped marching, bent their bows and arrows, and began to pour arrows towards the gate.
"Blade and shield hands come forward!" Guan Yu kept pulling the bowstring, and cold clusters of arrows continued to sink into the crowd. Even the strong shield could not resist the powerful cluster of arrows.
"Archers retreat from the gate and continue shooting!" Seeing that the opponent's arrow rain became more and more dense, many archers fell to the ground with arrows. Guan Yu had no choice but to order the archers to retreat from the gate and shoot over the enemy's wall. At the same time, rows of knife and shield hands rushed to the city under the command of Zhou Cang, and stood the shield on the wall to resist the enemy's arrow rain.
"Swish~"
A harsh sound of breaking through the air sounded, followed by a loud explosion, but a huge arrow from a bed crossbow shot. Even if you step back fifty steps, the power of the bed crossbow was still amazing. An unlucky shield hand was shot through with his shield, and his body was flew up by a huge impact force, falling from the gate, smashing several archers.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was furious and took four arrows from his bag and placed them on the bowstring. Then, the sound of breaking through the air started. Four arrow clusters knocked away the four front row swords and shield hands, smashing them over.
"Bang bang bang ~"
Yuan Jun's counterattack was even more fierce. Huge crossbow arrows hit the wall one after another. The wall made of logs was easily shot through. Occasionally, crossbow arrows shot on the large shield on the gate, directly shooting a gap in the shield wall.
"Father, the other party is commanding the army with the sound of drums and horns!" Guan Ping came to Guan Yu with a shield and rain of arrows, protecting Guan Yu, and said loudly.
Guan Yu nodded when he heard this. He couldn't see what he could, but so what could he do? He couldn't kill him. He broke into the chaos army with one single horse and would cut a few drummers. Even if he cut all the drummers on the other side, he would just be a few drummers. It's amazing to change another batch, which is useless.
When his heart moved, Guan Yu thought of a method and turned his head to look at Zhou Cang and said, "You immediately order people to gather all the war drums in the camp and ask people to beat them hard."
Since it cannot be stopped, it is better to disrupt the enemy's command system.
"Here!" Zhou Cang heard this and was puzzled, but he didn't ask much. He quickly took his people down, gathered all the war drums in the camp, and then found a group of people and beat them hard.
"Dong~Dongdong~Dongdongdong~Dongdongdong~Dongdong~Dongdong~"
For a moment, the drum sounds on the entire battlefield began to become messy. Guan Yu clearly noticed that the rhythm of the enemy's attack became messy after he beat the war drums, especially Yuan Jun, who was approaching the gate, was the most chaotic. The Yuan army soldiers who were even charging suddenly began to retreat. Guan Yu was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly attracted a crossbowman to shoot at the soldiers. The Yuan army soldiers were shot and killed.
"Damn it, that Guan Yu is not easy to deal with him!" In the back of Yuan army, Zhang He, Gao Lan, summoned Guan Yu and came up with a solution in such a short time. He couldn't help but feel angry, but he was helpless.
Zhang He waved his hand and said, "All drummers stop beating the drums and order generals at all levels to not pay attention to the sound of drums and attack regardless of everything. Today, we must break through this camp."
"Here!" Qianzhao agreed, and immediately a flag bearer waved the flag. At the same time, the drums in the Yuan army gradually stopped, but the Yuan army's offensive became even stronger.
Seeing this, Guan Yu ordered Zhou Cang to stop beating the drum and guard the camp with all his strength.
Simple ladders were laid on the wall of the village. The vast Yuan army rushed up like an ant tide. Guan Yu took a shield from his subordinates and began to wander on the wall of the village. Once a place was broken, he did not need a knife. The prefect covered a shield and smashed Yuan Jun who had just rushed to the city. Seeing this, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang followed suit, and each carried a shield and began to wander on the wall of the village. For a moment, they suppressed Yuan Jun's offensive.
A Han general hiding behind the village wall saw that the village wall was smashed by a crossbow were full of enemies, so he hurriedly led a few people forward, found a spear and stabbed it out. A scream came from the loss.
Seeing this, Yuan Jun quickly retreated, and then someone held a piece of log to hit the village wall. After several impacts, the already broken village wall was finally knocked open, and a large number of Yuan Jun rushed in.
"Kill!" Seeing this, the general shouted angrily, and led his people up to kill him, killing him with the Yuan army soldiers who rushed in. For a moment, there were sounds of shouting and killing in the gap.
Seeing this, Guan Yu shouted violently, grabbed the top of the ground, and rushed down. Before he could land, the shield in his hand had already smashed down with wind and thunder. The heads of the three Yuan soldiers were shattered. Guan Yu kicked up and kicked a soldier who had not yet reacted to the wall of the village. He knocked out several Yuan soldiers who wanted to rush in, picked up a long spear on the ground, shaking his hands towards the gap, and strung the three Yuan soldiers into a string.
"Boom~"
Almost at the same time, a surrounding village wall collapsed under Yuan Jun's squeeze and covered him towards Guan Yu. Guan Yu's eyes turned cold, he threw away his shield, and slashed out with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, cutting the front village wall into two pieces. Then the sword cloud flashed, and green lights spread around Guan Yu. More than a dozen Yuan army soldiers who rushed in due to inertia were killed on the ground before they could see the situation clearly.
It's over!
