The arrows were like rain, shouting like thunder, and the overwhelming rain of arrows and nails shot on the way of the Yan army's attack, which made Gao Shun, who was watching the battle in the rear, wrinkle his brows.

From his vantage point, he looked over the wall of people, and the front army seemed to be flustered by the rain of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, twenty percent of the soldiers fell in the army formation, which was especially strange to him. This should not be, even if the former army is only the captain department of Yanzhou County, and the training has not been completed for half a year...... The panic is understandable, but there are only two or three thousand enemies in the city, and even if each person has a hard bow, he can't pierce them all, right?

Three or four hundred people with wooden shields in one salvo?

This is an impossible result to be achieved by both the Tan Bow and the Strong Crossbow, and it is even more impossible for the Cao Army. What's more, the rain of arrows was thrown from inside the city walls, and the soldiers didn't even have a chance to aim, so it was impossible to have such a high degree of accuracy.

Gao Shun's estimation was right, on the front line that he couldn't see, Li Dian ambushed the place just right, and the Yan army's front army slowly advanced to about 350 steps away from the city and began to charge forward, because they knew that they had entered the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, and the faster they attacked under the wall, the less chance they would give the defenders a rain of arrows.

When the first rain of arrows fell on the front army's formation, the siege army could enter the range of three hundred steps, and the defenders' round of salvo only killed and injured less than 100 Yan troops, but at the same time, the trap that had been laid underground was already laid, and the pit that laid the wooden plank suddenly collapsed when it could not support the weight of several Yan soldiers, and the sharp ground thorns inside directly stabbed several siege soldiers into hedgehogs. Some of the soldiers did not step on the trap in the first place, but they disrupted the formation due to panic, and more soldiers fell into the trap.

In the blink of an eye, a rain of arrows rose again in the city, accurately striking within the range of the siege sergeants.

Panic spread inevitably, the still dead robes in the pit let out a terrifying wail, and the incessant rain of arrows above and the ubiquitous pit under their feet were extremely depressing, which was more frightening than hand-to-hand combat.

"Don't mess around, rush over, rush over!"

Not only were those soldiers in chaos, but the middle and lower generals were also in a panic, although most of the generals and generals rushed forward when they saw that the situation was not good, but more people fell into the pit or were nailed to the ground by arrows, resulting in greater casualties.

At such times, even the most outstanding generals could not avoid a demoralization collapse, and hundreds of soldiers crowded in the narrow valley, and the morale of the entire army collapsed in the blink of an eye...... Behind the valley, the sound of gold sounded.

Everything happened too quickly, and Gao Shun didn't expect that the enemy army had never set up an ambush all the way, but set up a trap in front of the city, and suffered a big loss.

Ming Jin Sheng Yu was defeated by the front army as if he had been amnesty, and retreated to the rear like a tide, and Li Dian shouted loudly in the Jin Sheng wall, and the crossbowmen pursued the arrow rain a few times again. Despite taking advantage of the situation, Li Dian's face was not as relaxed as that of his subordinates after the enemy retreated...... Such casualties were not painful to the Yan army, but then the trap was unprepared, and it was useless.

The next step is the hard hit, and for Cao Jun, the real risk.

"Count the casualties." Gao Shun put aside the next sentence, assigned the soldiers to count the casualties he had estimated in his heart, withdrew the damaged front formation to the back, walked to the stone artillery position, and said to the principal officer: "How many stone bullets?" ”

There is a lot of spare stone bullets in the army, but it is not easy to quarry stones during the rainstorm, this kind of consumable armament that could have been burned and chiseled nearby can only rely on the baggage team to operate from the rear at this time, and the road is far away and unsustainable, not to mention that Zhang Liao himself just let Gao Shun drag the enemy army here, and did not let him attack the storm and capture the city, and the supply of stone bullets expected by the baggage will not be much. After an inventory, Gao Shun was a little relieved.

After all, he has few stone cannons at hand, and the consumption of stone bullets is naturally small, so he only fought more than 50 stone bullets in such a battle, and his armament is sufficient.

"The enemy city will not move, take advantage of the dark to set up the stone cannon, and bombard him all night!" The words were powerful, and seeing the school official's eyes widen, Gao Shun then smiled rarely, and said, "Every once in a while, five stones are issued in turn, and they are not allowed to repair the city." ”

The school officer breathed a sigh of relief, but he was just as nervous, and said, "If you go down overnight, the stone bullet will consume twenty percent." General, this battle has just begun......"

"Knock down the fortress and pick up the unbroken stone bullets. Okay, needless to say, let's go for the timer. ”

Seeing that Gao Shun had made up his mind in his heart, the school officer had no choice but to say more, and went to find the missing timer, muttering softly: "The stone bullets that have been smashed have long been broken, how many can you pick up?" ”

If it weren't for the huge strength of their troops, the three lieutenant units alone might have retreated ten miles when they encountered such a danger. But for Gao Shun, the battle has just begun.

The front army has not yet engaged in the battle, a full number of 3,000 battalions of the lieutenant department were hit by traps and arrow rain one after another, resulting in more than 300 wounds and more than 700 casualties, like the haze of the sky shrouded in people's hearts, looking at the sun that has already sunk in the west and the sky that is gradually clouding, Gao Shun ordered that the city will not be attacked today, the three captains are in front of Chen Bu, and the rest of the soldiers and horses return to the camp.

Although the city is no longer attacked, but the night soldiers and horses are not easy, the scout battalion has to take advantage of the night to clean up the traps outside the city, and the other two captains have to be stationed left and right to guard the stone cannons and guard against the enemy's night attack, until tomorrow, without the trap, the threat of the garrison army to Gao Shun will be much smaller.

Only in this way will they have the opportunity to engage the enemy in close combat.

Night fell in Ruyin, and in the rainy night, the fast horse called to open the city gate and kicked out the echo in the quiet street, informing the county government of a message from Xiahoudun - "Zhang Liaoxing tens of thousands of soldiers, from the Liang State to the south, attack three roads!" ”

Overnight, the whole city was shaken, and it seemed that the whole city was filled with fear.

Cao Ang led the army to 3,000 starry nights, sent it to Ruyin, and went straight to Cheng's father. The accompanying scouts were on horseback, opening the city gates and rushing in all directions, warning the counties and townships along the way, urging the people to avoid entering the city, planning armaments and other matters, so that the lights of Ruyin City kept burning all night.

When the entire Cao clan was about to fight, Cao Cao, who was cold through the marrow of the night rain between the eaves, raised his eyes to the north...... There are too many things for him to think about, what is Yanbei doing at this time, is he assigning Zhang Liao to march south, or is Zhang Liao, who is good at capturing fighters, taking it upon himself to face the south to fight?

Even for Zhang Liao's southward journey, Cao Cao also had all kinds of doubts in his heart, Zhang Liao's wit and cunning, courage and incomparable impressed him, if Cao Cao did not miscalculate, the rain in the land of Chen Liang should have stopped, Zhang Liao marched at this time, is it an impatient coincidence, or is there another plan?

Zhang Liao, is he in Chengfu City, or is he still staying in the north of Runan, waiting for them to dispatch troops?
