Chapter 867: The crossbow shows its might
Fifty Zhuge crossbows, all of them were aimed at Cao Cao's army, and the focus was on Cao Cao's Tiefu Tu.
"This is your weapon against the Iron Float?" Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Lian, who had never seen it before, and his heart was also worried.
The next moment he saw the repeaters start firing, and the arrows were really repeaters.
A repeating crossbow fired ten arrows in a row, almost without pause.
Fifty repeaters, that's five hundred arrows.
There was almost no pause, as if the arrow had been loaded in an instant.
This Zhuge repeater has an arrow box, of course, there is no problem.
Cao Cao immediately felt that this was the rain of arrows, and these were the rain of arrows.
And these arrows are all iron arrows, unlike ordinary arrows, only the front part of the arrow is iron.
These arrows are not too long, only eight inches, which is even more difficult to guard against, and these arrows are all iron, which increases their penetrating power.
The bows and arrows of the first batch of Zhuge Repeaters continued to fire, and the ordinary armor of Cao Jun was like paper paste in front of Zhuge Repeater.
This is not surprising to Liu Wei, the armor of ordinary soldiers is thin, and ordinary bows and arrows can penetrate it, not to mention that this is an amazingly powerful Zhuge crossbow.
However, to Liu Wei's surprise, the hardness of the armor of this Iron Floating Tu didn't know what was going on, and some of it couldn't be completely penetrated.
"Continue to fire your arrows, aim at the weak spots of the Iron Float, or concentrate them in one place."
Liu Wei didn't hesitate and immediately spoke again.
Since you shoot in front of your chest, the armor here can't be pierced, so shoot your eyes, this arrow is eight inches long, which is enough.
"Charge me, I can't let them fire arrows and destroy their repeaters."
Cao Cao also immediately said at this time, the power of this repeater is too great, not only that.
He had already seen it before, and these Zhuge repeaters were able to penetrate some of the armor of the Iron Floating Tu.
Cao Cao also knew why, it was very simple, not all Iron Futu armor was the same thick.
There are always people with a slightly worse physique, but they are already better than ordinary people.
Therefore, Cao Cao made a certain reduction in the armor of those people without affecting their combat ability.
To put it bluntly, it is a little thinner, so that the armor is not so heavy, so that those soldiers can keep up with the pace of battle.
After all, defense is the guarantee of the Iron Float, but the power of the Iron Float is reflected in the lethality.
So it's not about cowering and being a turtle.
But now that the armor has been pierced, it's a testament to the power of these repeaters.
The next moment, Cao Jun kept rushing forward, but they were desperate.
Desperately, these repeaters are loaded with arrows too fast, and there are also ordinary bows and arrows as cover.
This is of course normal.
Liu Wei asked three people to be in charge of a Zhuge repeater, two people were responsible for controlling and aiming, and the other person was responsible for adding arrows to the quiver box.
Therefore, the arrows of this Zhuge repeater are naturally fast, as if they are endless, but in fact, of course, there is a gap in the middle.
But this gap is simply negligible under the cover of ordinary bows and arrows.
"Ah, eyes, my eyes."
A terrible cry rang out, from the soldiers of the Iron Float.
The arrows fired by this Zhuge repeater pierced his armor directly.
Gradually, more and more of the Iron Float began to fall, and some were pierced by the arrows and died.
Some are not dead, have lost their eyes, and are holding their heads and screaming there.
They hadn't been hurt in so long that they had forgotten what it felt like pain.
Once upon a time, they hid in this heavy armor, and they were like iron men, impregnable.
Where have they been wounded, every time they see soldiers with swords, soldiers shooting ordinary arrows.
They're like ants, it's ridiculous, and ants like you still want to hurt me.
What pain, what kind of injury, those are all you ants, only you ants, you compare with our Tiefutu, that is, you touch the stone with the egg.
But today, the stone is broken, but the egg is not broken.
They used to be in a row, but now they are holding their heads and running around.
Cao Cao knew that the general trend had gone, and his Tiefu Massacre had been destroyed.
It's not just the Iron Float that has been slaughtered, these repeaters are literally capable of killing people.
He didn't see that the arrows from the crossbow were missed, and they were so powerful that the Iron Float couldn't stop them, let alone ordinary soldiers.
He knew that this might be the reason why his large army was too concentrated, but it was also deadly.
The repeater is too lethal.
"Retreat, the whole army retreats." Cao Cao knew that the general trend was gone, so he ordered a retreat very decisively.
Cao Cao retreated, but at the same time regretted, why couldn't he endure it anymore?
Liu Wei never did anything he was not sure of, even if he ordered a retreat the moment he saw him.
The soldiers of the Cao army had already been frightened by the power of this Zhuge crossbow, so when Cao Cao ordered the retreat, they were as if they were about to be amnesty.
Many people had already lost military discipline when they retreated, so there were countless people who trampled on each other.
Cao Cao retreated while letting people sort out his army, he didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed tonight.
"Stop shooting arrows and rush forward."
Liu Wei saw that the Tiefu Massacre had been destroyed, and now that the Cao army was defeated, of course, it was a good opportunity to beat the water dogs.
Cao Cao, I've endured you for so long, and this time I finally let out a sigh of relief.
Liu Wei watched Cao Cao lead the army to escape, and he immediately said in his heart, and at the same time he was also relieved.
Zhao Yun Xu Huang, and Guan Yu led the army in pursuit.
Liu Wei led the army back, but only asked Dian Wei to lead half of the men and horses to help.
Although he won this time, Xuzhou City still had to be defended, and he couldn't be too careless.
And Liu Wei also knew in his heart that even if he led the army, it would be impossible to kill Cao Cao this time.
If it were that easy, it would be easy.
Zhao Yun and Xu Huang chased them all the way to the Cao Jun camp.
But when they arrived at the camp, Li Dian and Le Jin led the men and horses to respond.
The two armies fought again and fought continuously, but after returning to the camp, they were met by Li Dian and Le Jin.
What's more, the Zhuge crossbow is gone, so Cao Jun's soldiers began to stabilize again.
They began to fight back, and Zhao Yun and the others knew that it was impossible to kill Cao Cao at once.
So they retreated after a killing, in order to avoid increasing the losses of their soldiers.
This time, the morale and losses of Cao Cao's army were not small, so their goal had already been achieved.
After dawn, Liu Wei's army also returned to Xuzhou City.
This time everyone was smiling, this time the killing was so cool, it was completely shameful.
Cao Cao's army was like a lost dog in front of them this time.
"Your Majesty, this Zhuge crossbow is really powerful, this time the Cao army who was able to break the Tiefu Massacre lost his armor, thanks to this Zhuge crossbow."
After Xu Huang returned to the city at this time, he said with a smile, the facts have proved that it was superfluous for him to think about it before.
Everything was just as Guo Jia thought, the precise and perfect blow was not covered up by the night.
On the contrary, this night has become an embellishment, and it has also become a way to make this Zhuge repeater appear more brilliant.
After all, at this night, the Zhuge Repeater can still have such power and lethality, which naturally makes people feel terrible.
Compared with Liu Wei's joy in Xuzhou City, but in Cao Cao's camp, it was a diametrically opposite state.
Although they succeeded in repelling Cao Cao's army in the end, this could not change the rout of last night.
This is especially true for ordinary soldiers, especially those who have experienced Zhuge Repeater's crossbow strafing.
Even their beliefs, even their Iron Float Massacre have become history, and there is no way to resist it.
"You all go out, go out and appease the soldiers, last night's defeat, that's because of my Cao Cao."
In the camp, Cao Cao asked Li Dian and them all to go out.
Everyone immediately went out when they saw Cao Cao like this, and the impact of last night's defeat was not small.
After a long while, Cao Cao suddenly laughed alone in the big tent.
This made the soldiers guarding outside also frightened, but they didn't dare to step forward.
