Chapter 119 Huang Zhong's Arrow Skills
Looking at the obviously raised wall in front of him, Zhou Yu smiled. Such a wall was easy to collapse under the attack of a catapult. Zhou Yu waved his hand and the rapid sound of the drums behind him disappeared and looked at the city and said, "Won't Zhou Yuanzhi come out to meet here?"
As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, a voice came from the city: "Gong Jin naturally needs to prepare for this Yuanzhi, otherwise it's not good hospitality." As soon as the voice fell, Xu Shu and others appeared in the city. Xu Shu had just climbed the wall in the sight of outsiders, but Xu Shu and others had been waiting in the city to hear Zhou Yu's words before climbing the roof along the steps next to the small house behind the city wall.
Seeing Xu Shu appear, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Zhi's hospitality Gong Jin dares not answer."
Two sentences can be regarded as a greeting. Xu Shu looked at the siege equipment after the 40,000 troops and the army outside the city and sighed, "Gong Jin is really going to be serious this time. The whole 40,000 troops, hundreds of cloud ladders, ten wells and three catapults Gong Jin looks up to me."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "You Yuanzhi is here. If these 40,000 troops want to capture Xiushui County, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky." After saying that, he didn't talk nonsense and looked at Xu Shu in the city and asked, "Yuan Zhi will continue to stick to it?" Once the soldiers and horses in the city are lost, Liu Qi will have nothing to rely on in the future. Zhou Yu obviously knows a lot about Liu Qi's situation.
Xu Shu sighed and said, "It's so important here, but Yuan Zhi is a little greedy and unwilling to let go." If you eat the bone in his mouth, you can't spit it out.
Zhou Yu said, "Then we can only meet each other." In fact, he didn't have much hope. He also knew something about Xu Shu in the past few days. After saying that, the high-alted war drum behind his hand sounded again. Three phalanxes close to Xiushui County, three thousand soldiers and horses began to move. At the same time, Zhou Yu also rushed out behind him. A young commander, three thousand soldiers and horses, rushed to Xiushui County with a cloud ladder, and Ling Yu's breath quickly permeated on the battlefield.
Xu Shu's face above the head of the city was calm. The first day's attack should not be so dangerous, because there were no boulders on the stone cart behind the Jiangdong army, and it was impossible for the Jiangdong army to transport the boulders from Jianchang to this place, so they could only mine them on the spot. Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong beside him. The siege relied on the role of strength and strategy.
Huang Zhong arched his hand and held a big knife to Xu Shu. He stepped forward with a poplar bow on his back and came to the wall to watch the Jiangdong soldiers and horses under the city. Looking at Zhou Yu, who had not yet retreated into the army, Huang Zhong snorted coldly. He took down the boxwood bow behind him with his left hand and his right hand and took out the arrow from his waist and put it on the boxwood bow. It was an arrow to Zhou Yu.
Bum! The bow string vibrated and the arrow went away from the string, and it was difficult to see the speed of shooting at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, before the army, was shocked when he looked at the flying arrows. The arrows were too fast to avoid even if they did. Zhou Yu was about to avoid the key point, but he saw Tai Shici beside him pull out the long sword and shoot down the arrow. Just as Tai Shici shot down the arrow branch, Han Dang, pressed the handle of the knife in front of Zhou Yu.
The tip of the arrow suddenly disappeared to the ground, and Tai Shici explained that the strength of the arrow was so great. Tai Shici came forward and said, "The governor'd better go back to the front." While saying that, he looked at the city warily.
Looking at the pupil of Zhou Yu, the arrow on the ground, tightening, then nodded and turned back to the array.
Huang Zhong, who was above the head of the city, looked at Zhou Yu who was retreating into the array and sighed secretly. If he really shot Zhou Yu just now, the battle would have been much easier. However, Huang Zhong just tried to have two generals, Tai Shici and Han Dang, who can shoot Zhou Yu here.
Huang Zhong withdrew his eyes and transferred to the battlefield in front of him. At this time, the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong had approached the city wall under the leadership of the young generals, and a ladder was about to build the wall. Huang Zhong pulled the bow and shot the arrow again, and the arrows left at high speed between the oscillation of the bow strings.
The Jiangdong young general, who was rushing forward with the soldiers, seemed to have rushed to raise his head. He saw a light flashing. With a sneer, the arrow penetrated the armor and shot through the young general's heart. The young general looked at the body that was still trembling in front of him and slowly fell down. The three thousand soldiers and horses behind him did not flinch from this. The two soldiers came forward and sent the body of the young general back to the front. The others still wanted to rush to Xiushui County.
After Huang Zhong shot the arrow, the archers who had already prepared on the wall released their hands at the same time. The arrows fell into the middle of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong like rain, and the screams immediately sounded. After a round of arrow rain, dozens of Jiangdong soldiers and horses were killed and injured, and the second round of arrow rain has arrived. The sound of arrows penetrating the armor sounded from time to time, and a famous Jiangdong soldiers and horses also fell down.
After three rounds of arrow rain, Jiangdong soldiers and horses finally rushed under the city wall with a ladder. A ladder leaned against the city wall, and then a famous soldier climbed up the ladder.
Huang Zhong in the city didn't care. While ordering the archers to continue shooting, he asked the soldiers in the city to prepare rolling wood and boulders. When the Jiangdong soldiers under the city climbed to two-thirds of the city, Huang Zu gave an order. The boulders held by two people were thrown down the city, and the soldiers on the ladder were accidentally rubbed. He immediately fell off the ladder.
The boulder fell from the sky and fell among the Jiangdong soldiers gathered under the city. The boulder rolled through the middle of the Jiangdong soldiers and rolled across the moat towards the Jiangdong army. The boards laid by the Jiangdong soldiers on the moat were immediately crushed, and the smaller stones followed and fell into the moat Hanoi.
Zhou Yu, who was in the army, looked at the boulder rolling towards the army and turned his head slightly behind him and said, "Move these boulders to the back."
As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, another Jiangdong general took the order. He waved a thousand soldiers and horses in front of the phalanx in front of him and quickly dispersed every 100 people to intercept the boulder in front of the army. In less than a quarter of an hour, the rolling boulder in front of the army had been stopped and moved to the rear of the army.
Xu Shu, who was on the wall, frowned and said, "This Xu Shu is so smart that he has collected dozens of huge stones without blowing his power, and the cataping car can also be used."
Huang Zhong beside him saw that the Jiangdong army was a little ugly when he collected the boulder. He turned his head and waved to the soldiers who were ready to throw the boulder. The soldiers in the city immediately put down the boulder and replaced it with a bucket of hot tung oil. He fell down along the ladder. As soon as the tung oil that was still rolling in the barrel touched the ladder, it immediately thorned. With the sound, the tung oil flowed down the ladder to the soldiers who were climbing up. Immediately a red and even a little burnt appeared. Some of the soldiers on the ladder covered their necks, some covered their faces, some covered their heads, and some rubbed their hands back and forth. The unsteady soldiers immediately fell down the ladder and fell into mud.
Zhou Yu, who was in the army, almost waved his hand and another young general left and rushed up with a thousand soldiers and horses.
