Chapter [184] Bloodbath Liu Bei
One wave, two waves...Looking at the continuous throwing of rolling stones and torreya trees from the top of the city, Liu Bei was extremely tormented at the moment.
At this moment, Liu Bei's mentality is like a small loss in stocks.
If you continue to hold stocks, you are afraid that stocks will continue to fall.
But he threw away the stocks in his hand, and felt sorry for losing money, imagining that the stocks could still rise.
Worrying about gains and losses, I have been hesitating and unable to make a decision.
But soon, Qiye made a decision for Liu Bei.
Seeing that the third group of people replaced and began to throw rolling stones and torreya trees outward, Xu Rong gave the order again.
"Bed crossbows are ready! All soldiers are ready for bows and arrows!"
"General Qi, preparations are complete, ready to launch at any time!"
"Then let it go!" Xu Rong looked wolfish.
Following Xu Rong's order, the soldiers standing on the edge of the female wall and in charge of manipulating the bed crossbow smashed down their gavels one after another.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Swish, whoosh, whoosh!" There was a sharp piercing sound.
Countless crossbow bolts poured out in an instant.
One bed crossbow is fifty bolts, ten is five hundred, and the Jiange has hundreds of them, and the city is densely packed with bed crossbows.
In particular, these bed crossbows aim at different positions at 360 degrees, and they don't shoot at one place.
The bed crossbow has a range of a thousand steps. Some bed crossbows are aimed at the middle of the long snake array below, and some are aimed at the rear, trying to maximize the coverage of firepower.
As for why you didn't aim at the front section, it's because the bow and arrow can cover the front section, and only the bed crossbow can hit the middle and back sections, so the firepower of the bed crossbow is not wasted to output the enemies in the front section.
The moment the bed crossbow poured out, countless arrows aimed at the enemy army below the city, and the overwhelming arrow rain directly covered them.
In an instant, Liu Bei's pupils dilated, and the world in his eyes seemed to freeze.
Looking at the overwhelming arrows, Liu Bei couldn't help thinking of the locust plague in his hometown when he was a child, and the scene of locusts flying over the sky and covering the sky.
Just as Liu Bei was recalling the locust plague, countless arrows fell to the ground.
"Ugh~~~~"
As the arrows fell, screams rose one after another, endlessly, resounding across the battlefield, constantly stimulating Liu Bei's nerves.
"It's been tricked!!!" Liu Bei jumped and cursed anxiously, without any demeanor.
When he saw the overwhelming rain of arrows, Liu Bei finally realized that everything was a trap set by the other party.
The opponent is deliberately showing weakness, making him mistakenly think that there are not many (aefj) defenders in the pass, and then keeps fishing for him, and finally launches a fatal blow!
Unfortunately, it was too late to understand at this moment, and Liu Bei regretted it too late. He could only watch his soldiers fall one by one. Like a small river.
Without Liu Bei's order, the soldiers who did not die under the rain of arrows turned their heads and ran away without hesitation at all. This is a human survival instinct.
However, the Jiange path is too narrow, everyone wants to run away, blockages and stampedes naturally appear, some soldiers even stumbled and fell, or were pushed off the sides of the road
Although the height is not enough to fall to death, it is still no problem to fall half to death.
"Change the crossbow." Seeing that the enemy ran out of the range of the bow and arrow, Xu Rong gave the order again.
The soldiers at the top of the city lay on the ground one after another, drew their bows to string up, pulled the trigger, and shot a parabola towards the sky.
Xu Rong didn't order the defenders to stop shooting until the enemy ran out of the range of 200 steps.
When the army retreated, Liu Bei took the remnants of the defeated generals and fled the Jiange without looking back, for fear that the defenders inside would chase them out.
After all, at most half of the 50,000 army is left, and some of the remaining half are still injured.
Coupled with the low morale, once the defenders of the Jiange rushed out, the outcome was still uncertain.
But Xu Rong didn't go up to give chase, he had seen how powerful Guan Zhangzhao was.
And before the start of the war, Lu Bu repeatedly emphasized that the guards in various places should focus on defense.
Xu Rong knew very well that the Jiange he was in charge of was the gateway to central Shu, and it must not be lost, otherwise there would be a big trouble.
Once Liu Bei flees into Sichuan, it is really impossible to solve it at half past ten on the huge Chengdu Plain.
Therefore, Xu Rong was very restrained, calmly chose not to pursue, and must ensure that there would be no problems in Shuzhong.
After escaping for a certain distance, seeing that the Jiange defenders did not come out in pursuit, Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief.
After escaping from a relatively safe distance with the panic-stricken army, they stopped to rest.
"Yun Chang, have you been hit by an arrow?" Liu Bei saw an arrow sticking out of Guan Yu's shoulder at this moment.
"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to hold the arrow, pulled it out suddenly, and then began to treat the wound by himself.
"Brother, there is still me." Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.
Guan Yu was shot in the shoulder with an arrow, and Zhang Fei was almost turned into a hedgehog.
But Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei had rough skin and thick flesh, and he had the habit of wearing two layers of armor, so it would definitely not be a big deal.
The two generals Guan and Zhang were injured by arrows, but Zhao Yun was fine.
A long illness becomes a good doctor, but anyone who has survived many battles can learn how to bandage his wounds, even when he is shut down.
After all, if you often walk by the river, you will never get your shoes wet. No matter how invincible you are, there is always the possibility of being shot by the arrows.
Unless it's a hacker like Lu Bu, who sees all directions and hears all directions, before the arrow approaches, Lu Bu will detect it, and accurately capture the arrow's trajectory, and make a prediction in advance.
"Ah~" Liu Bei sighed, "You shouldn't be greedy for merit, and you've lost too much."
Guan Zhangzhao and the others were silent when they heard the words, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Forget it." Liu Bei said happily in bitterness: "At least we still have the land of Hanzhong, if it doesn't work, let's move the population to Hanzhong, in short, we can't give up the land of Hanzhong.
The rest of the people nodded silently, that's all they could do.
Liu Bei suffers because he doesn't have a top adviser, and he is surrounded by Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, and his level is really limited.
Even if Zhang Zhao is an enemy of thousands of people, there is no top strategist to give advice, no matter what he does, it always seems to get twice the result with half the effort.
And Liu Bei is also aware of this problem, if there are resourceful people present today, would they be so easily fooled?
Jingzhou is full of talented people, so after returning this time, we must invite some helpers from the mountain, Liu Long thought silently in his heart.
Hangu Pass.
"Why hasn't Cao Cao attacked yet?" Lu Bu complained, "I'm getting impatient."
"King Qin, with so many people gathered together, it will take several days just to dig the latrine." Fazheng couldn't help but said.
Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are so disgusting."
Cao Cao's army has been there for many days, but has not launched an attack.
As Fazheng said, when so many people gather together, even the daily problems of eating, drinking and drinking will become a big problem when the number of people reaches a certain level.
Cao Jun is currently outside Hangu Pass, cutting down countless trees to build camps, looking for suitable water sources, and building public toilets. These miscellaneous chores will take a long time to sort out.
"Report! Letter from Chang'an!".
