When Qiuming came to the city, Cao Cao and Liu Biao had already commanded the repulsion of the third attack of the Xingyang army, the gallop of the city wall was full of broken swords, and the soldiers were busy moving the lodging corpses under the steps, and if it was the enemy's, they were thrown directly out of the city, and then there was the scream of some unlucky guy below.

Cao Cao just shook his head at Qiu Ming's inquiry, but Liu Biao said with a worried face: "The high walls of Bishui Pass are thick, and the enemy army is not so easy to attack. It's just that they attacked so quickly, and the arrows and rolling wood stones on the gate consumed a lot of money, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to survive these few days. ”

Qiu Ming said: "These things, there should be reserves in the Wandering Soul Pass, just go and move some back." ”

Liu Biao said: "There was news from there just now, Zhou Jing's people are attacking the Wandering Soul Pass, but I am afraid that the materials there should not be touched lightly." ”

Qiu Ming frowned: "There is also a war in the Wandering Soul Pass?" It's a bit of a hassle. He was hesitating, when he suddenly heard someone around him shouting and shouting: "The enemy army has retreated, the enemy army has retreated." ”

Tyumen poked his head out of the battlement, only to see the enemy soldiers directly below the city wall retreat like a tide, leaving behind the banners and weapons on the ground, but taking with them all the siege equipment. Qiu Ming smiled: "Fortunately, it seems that their ability to bear also has a certain limit, and if there are more dead people, they will be afraid and flee." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The enemy army retreated very calmly, it shouldn't be a hasty retreat, I'm afraid that they have come up with some other tricks." ”

Liu Biao pointed to the big camp below and said, "It seems that they have finally found that hillock and are ready to use it." ”

Sure enough, a detachment of men and horses was separated from the large camp, and quickly climbed the small hill that Chen Gong had pointed out, and began to ping-pong on it, and in a short time a small camp was knocked out, and two wooden shelves were laid in front of the camp.

Tyumen said strangely: "What does that wooden shelf do?" Is it to observe the situation in the Kannai? ”

Cao Cao looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly changed color and said: "Oops, that's the frame of the ballista, if he waits for the ballista to be erected, it will be difficult to stand on this city wall." ”

Under Liu Biao's orders, the soldiers began to fire arrows at the hillock. However, the terrain of the hill is higher than the head of the city, so it is extremely difficult to shoot on the back, and Xu Rong in the camp saw that he began to shoot arrows here, and also transferred a large number of archers to the hillock.

Because Zhang Hewen Chou is not here, only Huang Zhong can be called a sharpshooter on the head of the city, he carries a bow like flying, every arrow must shoot a person to the ground, and gradually those archers have turned their targets to a section of the city wall where Huang Zhong is, Huang Zhong had to hide himself behind the battlements, occasionally leaning out and shooting an arrow.

Tyumen took advantage of this gap to look at the opposite side, and saw a dozen strong men with their upper bodies carrying many wooden parts up the hill and began to pile them up on wooden shelves. Qiu Ming remembered that his teacher Huangfu Song had given him the blueprint of the ballista, but he was too lazy to glance at it by chance, and he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

Seeing that the ballista was about to take shape, Tyumen shouted, "Hansheng, can you destroy the ballista on the other side?" ”

Huang Zhong looked at it: "I can probably shoot that big guy, but with such a big wooden bump, the power of the feather arrow is limited after all, how can it be destroyed with one arrow?" ”

Tyumen thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that the drawings indicated that the ballista was a very delicate machine, and any damage could affect its function. He touched his chin and said, "Otherwise, you shoot that belt, if you break the belt, it is estimated that the crossbow arrows will not be able to be fired." ”

Cao Cao heard them and shouted: "Don't shoot the belt, if the belt is broken, replace it, and shoot the circlip in the middle, which is where the iron pieces are connected." ”

Huang Zhong secretly took a look at it, and immediately attracted the other side like a canopy. He nodded, "I saw it, but now that they're all staring at me, I can't shoot a bow." ”

Dian Wei and Bao Chu next to him said at the same time: "I'll help you." The two of them stepped forward with a large shield in each hand, dancing in front of Huang Zhong in an impenetrable manner, even though locusts were flying like rain, none of the arrows could break through their interception.

Huang Zhong raised his arms, and instantly pulled the magpie painting carved lacquer bow into a full moon, and shouted: "Sunset", the feather arrow in his hand flashed with dazzling light, like a light shuttle, shooting straight into the inside of the ballista on the right. With a bang, the position of the circlip of the ballista exploded into pieces of sawdust, and several pieces of iron splashed out, smashing the strong man next to him to the point of bleeding.

There was a panic on the hillock, Xu Rong hurriedly transferred a team of sword and shield hands to defend against arrows, and the archers even threw arrows on the city wall desperately, making sure to prevent Huang Zhong from breaking out again.

Although this type of archery skill is extremely powerful and has a very long range, but the consumption is also very much, an arrow is shot, Huang Zhong immediately stood on the ground, his hands trembled violently, it was obvious that he could no longer attack, so Qiu Ming arranged for him to go down to recuperate first.

After a while, the arrows from the hillock gradually thinned out, and Tyumen wondered, could it be that their arrows had finally run out? He was about to stick his head out of the battlements, when suddenly a strong sound of breaking the sky sounded, Tyuming subconsciously shrank his head, and a huge crossbow arrow grazed the top of his head, and the powerful aura made his hair stand on end, as if through electricity.

The bolts hit the stone wall on the other side of the gallop, making a loud noise, and shoveling down many rocks, large and small. One of the hapless soldiers was hit by a flying boulder, screaming loudly to tear his leg out from under the boulder, and his companions hurried to push the boulder away. At this moment, another crossbow bolt broke through the air, skewering the two soldiers into a pair of sugar gourds.

Both of them had their chests and abdomen pierced, but they had no choice but to die, and the screams came one after another, disturbing the surrounding soldiers. But the only ballista left on the hill was still firing arrows and arrows, and no one dared to stand up, but could only watch the two soldiers blood all over the ground, and their voices gradually dimmed, and at last there was no sound at all.

After firing twenty or thirty arrows in a row, the ballista finally stopped for a while, probably needing to change the belt. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao drove most of the people on the city walls, leaving only a small number of soldiers at the head of the city as observation posts. He saw that Qiuming's face was already pale and unstable, so he asked Dian Wei Bao to take Qiuming down.

After getting off the city wall, Tyumen waved his hand and said: "This ballista is too powerful, we must find a way to destroy it." ”

Bao debuted: "It's getting late today, it is estimated that the other party will withdraw the troops in a while, and in the dead of night, I will go out of the city and burn this ballista." ”
