Chapter 1054 Strong crossbow?!

Li Chi walked in the canyon 20 miles away from Hedong County with some trepidation, and there was always an ominous feeling in his mind.

This time, he came here with Zhang Liao's army to attack Anyi, the county seat of Hedong County. However, Han Hao, the guard of Hedong County, is indeed very good at military tactics, and Lord Zhang Liao's men are riding in Yanbei, which is inconvenient to attack the city. As a result, Li Chi was sent to lead 3,000 riders to take a surprise attack on Xieliang, thus cutting off the grain road outside Anyi. In this way, the foreign aid is exhausted, and the lonely city is difficult to defend. Even if Han Hao has the ability to communicate with heaven, he can't stop the soldiers from being distracted.

At that time, Lord Zhang Liao only needs to make a few noises and contact the rich households in Anyi. It is sure to go down at one stroke - the Ma family has long had the means to attack the city. It has always paid attention to the morale of the enemy first, the corruption from the inside, and finally the thunder blow was effective.

However, Li Chi vaguely felt a little strange about this march. When he realized that he was in danger, it was too late.

Looking up suddenly, Li Chi noticed some unnatural light shining on the mountains on both sides. Out of a soldier's intuition, he instinctively smelled a trace of ominous smell.

"Stop marching, it's too narrow here. Get back!"

Li Chi turned around and shouted loudly. There are about 3,000 horse cavalry around him. This force is now in a narrow valley, and the gray mountain walls on both sides are tilted towards the center, forcing them to line up in a long column. At this moment, Li Chi heard a call with a Hedong accent above his head, and he subconsciously raised his head...

"It's not good! ..."

Li Chi shouted, and in the next moment, thousands of crossbows broke through the air from the top of the valley, making a sharp scream.

Ma Jiajun, who was unprepared, was stunned by the sudden wave of death. Many soldiers had no time to take off the round shield tied to their back and were directly shot into hedgehogs. They made a sad scream before falling to the ground, shocking the minds of their neighbors; some cavalry were even nailed to the mountain wall by people and horses. , his hands and feet are still twitching. There was a dull poof in the valley, which was the terrible sound of arrows sinking into the flesh.

Before the attacker recovered from the shock, the second array of intensive shooting followed, followed by the third array, the fourth array, the fifth array... This crazy crossbow attack was like an avalanche, making the array and fighting will of the Ma army completely collapse with their bodies, splashing ferocious blood.

Although the Ma family's iron cavalry has the most loyal will and the best protection of this era, this sneak attack is really too unnoticed. The enemy ambushed high in the canyon, so that the Ma army had no possibility of resisting. Good armor cannot completely wrap the whole body; the will of loyalty has no effect at this time.

The horse's iron riders were at a loss under the shower of arrow rain. They ran aimlessly and shouted like crazy until they were pierced to the ground. At the top of the head, the arrow rain of the ambush even covered the sunlight on the top of the valley. As the density of the attack increased, the blood flowers at the bottom of the valley rose a layer of blood fog.

Li Chi knew that the situation was uncontrollable, so he could only bravely flee to Gukou with the soldiers - as long as he escaped smoothly and reorganized his troops in an open place, there was still hope!

Li Chi thought so, and at the same time, he tried his best to hold back the pain. Although he couldn't figure out why there was an ambush of the Hedong Army here at this time, he knew better that this was not the time to think about this - in the attack just now, he was hit by three arrows, and fortunately he was not fatally injured.

"Wo-sw!"

Another wave of arrow rain rose from the hand of the bow and arrow, which is the fifth array of volley!

Li Chi didn't dare to look up. He knew what it meant to look up at this time. Except for being intimidated by the rain of arrows and losing resistance, there will be no other effect. At present, the only thing that can be done is to clench its teeth, urge the war horse to run forward and run again!

When the eighth formation ended, Ma Jiajun had completely collapsed. The originally neat cavalry turned into a gathering of panic and fear, and the survivors just wanted to escape from this hellish place as soon as possible. Although there are only more than 1,000 crossbowmen in the canyon army, tens of thousands of crossbows have been shot, and they continue like waves.

Compared with those soldiers, Li Chi, who was the main general, was lucky. Although several crossbows were firmly nailed to his back and left arm, thanks to the heavy collar and armor of the Ma family, he did not let the arrows pierce the skin. With this advantage, he miraculously rushed out of the valley mouth in one breath, in shock. In Li Chi's military career, he has never seen crossbow shooting with such dense firepower and frequency.

However, it is at this time.

Wh! ～

A black arrow flew fiercely towards Li Chi's throat, and the bright crossbow tip was white under the sunlight, just like the face of a dying person. Li Chi only felt that his body was pushed away by a great force, and a personal guard who followed him desperately tried his best to block the crossbow for Li Chi and hit the soldier's chest!

"Don't~!"

The last soldier was shot by a crossbow and fell down in a mourning sound. The blood spewed from the wound splashed on Li Chi's face, and even his vision blurred.

The strange fear that passed through his chest came, and Li Chi did not feel pain, but felt cold numbness. It's not just that this personal guard has a close relationship with Li Chi, but also because this crossbow shot on the chest of the soldier is a steel nail arrow without clusters of arrows!

Li Chi opened the soldier's eyes and pulled out the crossbow from his chest. The original white arrow suddenly turned red - it was a blood-stained color. At the same time, this blood-stained crossbow also brings a unbelievable message to Li Chi: this is definitely a crossbow that can be shot comparable to the dollar crossbow!

That is to say, Yuan Shao's crossbow-making technology has reached the level of the Ma family!

Just thinking about this, Li Chi saw that his horse, which began to run away, fell to the ground with a cry. Its two front hoofs were tied with an iron four-cornered horse nail at the same time. The horse armor could protect it from crossbows, but it could not avoid these little things. Li Chi, who was urgent, was forced to give up his mount and fled on foot.

But as soon as he ran two steps, Li Chi felt something was wrong again. He looked at the top of the canyon. Seeing that the shadowy soldier had begun to go down the mountain, he turned his eyes and quickly took off his armor and replaced it with a soldier similar to his. At the same time, he pressed himself under an fallen war horse...

"Ah! ..."

"Uh! ..."

A series of tragic calls came, and Li Chi knew that it was these Hedong troops checking the bodies. And repair the knives on those bodies that have not yet died. Occasionally, when he heard a familiar accent, Li Chi's heart was cut like a knife. But at this time, he couldn't show any sound...

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from Li Chi's right foot! Li Chi, who was about to scream with a reflex, suddenly understood his situation - someone must have found his 'body' hidden under the body of the horse. In order to set off the trouble of the horse's body, he added a knife to **'s right foot to see if the person under the horse's body was dead.

Cold sweat suddenly emerged from Li Chi's face. He, who was buried under the horse's body, bit his teeth and let the soldier slowly pull out the blade from his right leg - which undoubtedly aggravated Li Chi's painful time and made Li Chi have the impulse to scream and turn over at any time!

"I found it, I found the general of this team!" The Hedong Army shouted excitedly in the distance, and Li Chi felt that the sharp blade in his right foot was pulled out quickly, ending his long torture - but the pain was still...

It was not until an hour after the footsteps completely left that Li Chi dared to lift the horse's body. Too much bleeding made him feel cold and light-headed. He clenched his teeth and had only one belief in his heart: run back to Lord Zhang Liao's camp...

A man, I don't know how long he has been in the mountains. When the sun was about to fall, Li Chi faintly saw a large wall with the word "Zhang" in front of him, and countless Ma soldiers in white military uniforms surrounded him. With a wide heart, Li Chi fell to the ground. In his hand, he held a steel nail arrow without a cluster of arrows...
