This time, Liu Biao's soldiers, who followed Liu Qi at the same time, also had two or three thousand archers.

Therefore, after Liu Qi took the sword and shield men in front of him to control a certain space outside the city gate of Yicheng, these archers also stood in line in the open space, and then pulled their bowstrings one after another, and threw a round of feather arrows to the sword and shield men and crossbow archers who were protecting the dozen siege vehicles on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

"Three hundred steps back! Array! ”

At this time, Tai Shici, who was on the siege car arrow platform, didn't know when he had returned to the ground, and then commanded the movements of the entire army of the Divine Arrow Battalion, and the more than 1,000 archers who were originally on the siege car arrow platform also withdrew from the arrow platform one after another.

Therefore, while protecting these siege chariots and slowly retreating, the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion also used the walls constructed by these siege chariots to avoid the feather arrows shot by Liu Biao's defenders on the Yicheng city wall.

Without the suppression of the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion, the archers on the city walls naturally became a threat to the siege troops of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

However, Tai Shici's contingency order was issued in a timely manner, so before the feather arrows on Liu Biao's side came, the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion had already withdrawn from the range of the feather arrows.

In this way, the whole army of the Divine Arrow Battalion stopped and re-lined themselves in place after exiting the safe area that was roughly more than 300 paces away, while the improvised siege vehicles that were protecting the retreat continued to slowly retreat.

As for the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion, after the formation of the army, they were ready to start a decisive battle with Liu Biao's soldiers who went out of the city outside the city, and lured Liu Biao's soldiers out of the city to fight, which was also in line with Wang Yuyan's strategy at the beginning.

Of course, when the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion retreated, the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion also pulled their bows and released their arrows, and with the help of the feather arrows thrown by the bow and arrow, they stopped the soldiers brought out by Liu Qi, and rushed to the retreating Divine Arrow Battalion soldiers, which naturally gave the sword and shield men and crossbowmen on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion time to regroup the military formation.

As for the improvised siege trucks that gradually retreated, it was true that many of the planks against arrows were hit by rockets, which gradually ignited the wood and ignited the flames, and it seemed that there was a tendency to spread around.

Therefore, these siege carts were slowly retreating and moving, driven by the auxiliaries at the base cart below, while some other auxiliaries began to overturn the erected wall panels.

Then some of the auxiliaries climbed up to remove the larger ones, threw mud and sand on some of the smaller ones, extinguished the flames, and then made some repairs, so that these improvised siege vehicles could be used again at any time.

And after Liu Qi came out of the city with Liu Biao's soldiers in Yicheng, he saw that Zhu Wei's siege car retreated, and under the suppression of the feather arrows of the Divine Arrow Battalion, he did not rush to chase and kill.

Liu Qi led the troops to rely on the protection of the archers on the city wall, but also organized soldiers outside the city to form a military formation, but he did not have the intention of directly fighting with the Taishi Cishen Arrow Battalion outside the city.

Looking at the movements of Liu Biao's soldiers, Liu Biao seemed to want to use the defense of these soldiers to temporarily construct a defensive position outside the city wall, it seems that Liu Biao did not dare to let Zhu Wei's army approach the city wall, and let Zhu Wei's army use various means to attack the city.

But in this way, Liu Biao also had to give up the defensive advantage of the city wall, and could only let his soldiers fight against Zhu Wei's army outside the city.

However, Tai Shi Ci and the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion did not rush to deal with it, but quietly confronted each other with the soldiers brought out of Yicheng by Liu Qi, maintaining a safe distance from each other.

Tai Shi Ci did not have the archers who attacked the city and rushed to suppress Liu Biao's defenders on the city wall, and he really did not dare to easily attack Liu Qi's army formation that was gradually gathering outside the city.

Otherwise, there is a threat of bows and arrows from the defenders of Yicheng above, and the defensive army formation formed by Liu Qi below, which is equivalent to the three thousand Liu Biao soldiers who rushed out of the city before, and they have to face the dilemma of rain of arrows and enemy troops.

Even Tai Shici was not sure that he could break through Liu Qi's army formation and enter Yicheng in such a situation.

Of course, this situation is only temporary, and Zhu Wei's side will definitely not give Liu Biao the opportunity to construct more defensive means outside the walls of Yicheng, and now it is only a buffer time for Zhu Wei's next military contingency.

Sure enough, after a short time, as those simple siege vehicles slowly retreated to the safe area behind the military formation of the Shenjian Battalion, within the main formation of Zhu Wei's army, the military formation composed of soldiers also moved a few steps, and opened a direct passage through the rear army area in the military formation.

Then, from the direction of Zhu Wei's rear army, more than a dozen torsion thunderbolt cannons slowly pushed forward, until they reached the back of the Divine Arrow Battalion controlled by Tai Shici, before they stopped and began to build in place.

That's right, Zhu Wei was ready to use thunderbolts to bombard Liu Biao's soldiers who were out of the city.

For the enemy army formation, which had no defensive preparations and could only rely on the hand shield of the soldiers to resist the defense, the rocks thrown by the thunderbolt cannon were definitely a bloody massacre.

Previously, after Huang Yueying came to Yuzhang, she also used her knowledge of mechanism skills to help the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop improve the throwing power of the torsion thunderbolt cannons in Zhu Weijun, so now the projectile power of these torsion thunderbolt cannons is stronger, not only can they throw pebbles and gravel, but they can already throw some large rocks and rock balls like real siege equipment.

However, if you are throwing heavy rock blocks or rock balls, you must stop to inspect and re-strengthen the projectile rod and other key structures after some time, otherwise the torsion thunderbolt will also be in danger of collapsing.

But at least each torsion thunderbolt should be fine with throwing more than a dozen rocks at the enemy, and this is enough to show the terrifying deterrent power during the siege.

Under the protection of Tai Shici's 15,000 or so sword and shield fighters, archers, and crossbow archers, more than a dozen torsion thunderbolt cannons were firmly fixed on the ground, and then specially controlled auxiliaries began to turn the torsion ropes, pull the projectile rods, and then put pieces of rocks as wide and thick as basins and weighing nearly 100 catties into the projectile pockets.

"Smack...... Perak ......"

As the buckle pillar was knocked off by the hammer, the projectile rod was quickly and forcefully pulled up with the force of the twisted rope, and after making a thunderclap sound, the rock in the projectile pocket was thrown in the direction of Yicheng under the action of inertia.

"Bang bang bang...... Thunderbolt Thunderbolt ......"

More than a dozen torsion thunderbolt cannons threw more than a dozen rocks forward one after another, and they couldn't help but make a burst of noise behind the military formation of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

"Woo... Woo... Woo......"

The rocks that were thrown into the air also pierced the air with a dull sound, and under the action of the powerful throwing force, they smashed down in the direction of the military formation formed by Liu Biao's six or seven thousand soldiers outside the city wall.

"What is this!" "What's that?" ”

Because the figures of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion commanded by Tai Shi Ci blocked most of the bodies of the torsion thunderbolts, it was not until these torsion thunderbolts threw stones and made a sound that Liu Biao's soldiers who were arrayed outside Yicheng noticed it.

Many people watched from behind Zhu Weishen's arrow camp, and some people inadvertently looked up, oh my God, there were stones flying over from the sky......
