The barbarians quickly entered the range of Wei's bows and arrows and crossbows, but Deng Zhong did not see the urgent launch this time, but asked the barbarians to run for a while.

Because the barbarians have just entered the range, the damage ability of bows and arrows is limited, so there is no problem in shooting barbarians, but it will be difficult to shoot them to death.

Moreover, when Deng Zhong saw the barbarians charging in such a mindless manner, it was a good opportunity to hunt them on a large scale. When he had just entered the range, once he was attacked, the barbarians would likely retreat, so that the Wei army's results would be limited.

Therefore, Deng Zhong was very calm and did not rush to order archery. Instead, he calmly waited for the barbarians to arrive at the city in large numbers before ordering archery.

All the archers and crossbow soldiers of the Wei army had been waiting there for a long time. After giving the order, the Wei army immediately fired the bow and shot the arrows, and the dense rain of arrows shot towards the barbarians.

The barbarians rushed to the city without encountering the counterattack of the Wei army. They were still happy, but before they could erect the simple ladder, a rain of arrows suddenly came under the city, covering all the barbarians under the city.

The barbarians were caught off guard and fell to the ground by arrows. They fell down in rows, with heavy casualties and shocking.

Since the barbarians under the city are too dense, the Wei army's crossbowmen do not need to aim at them. They just need to shoot arrows from the top of the city, and basically they can shoot arrows without any slightest.

It is not required to have accuracy, but only the frequency of archery is fast enough. The Wei archers on the city almost shot an arrow and immediately replaced another arrow and shot it out. The whole process was only a few breaths. Fortunately, these archers were well-trained and had a very skilled move to replace arrows. They shot down one by one. Thousands of arrows were as dense as rain and as fast as the wind. The barbarians cried and shouted at their parents and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Of course, in this case, the place where the killing weapon of the continuous crossbow is used, hundreds of continuous crossbows are intensively launched, forming a series of death fans.

The barbarians had never experienced such a terrifying rain of arrows. They had no protective ability to run away with their heads in their arms.

It would be fine if it was on the edge of the range of the bow and arrow crossbow, but you could escape the attack by running a few more steps, but the barbarian soldiers who had run the most before had already rushed to the base of the city wall. At this time, it would be very difficult to escape from the Death Rain.

In just a moment, the entire city was covered with corpses of barbarian soldiers. Each of them had at least ten arrows inserted into it. From a distance, it looked like hedgehogs, with a corpse pillow that could pave the distance of a hundred steps below the city.

Most of the barbarians who escaped by chance were wounded by arrows, but because these injuries were not fatal, and they were closer to the edge of the Wei army's archery coverage, they had the chance to escape.

Looking back at the scene where corpses were everywhere behind them, the barbarian soldiers all looked pale. They didn't expect that the Wei army was so cruel. There were no treasures or women waiting for them, but sharp arrows.

Meng Li couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw this on the outside. The Wei army's combat power was relatively strong. Meng Li was also clear about this, but the concept of how strong it was is relatively vague.

For Meng Li, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army may be a little stronger than the Shu army, and the Shu army seems to be a little stronger than the barbarians in some aspects. So in general, the Wei army may be a little stronger, but it should not be much higher than the barbarians. At least the barbarians with superior numbers should firmly occupy the advantage.

But Meng Li never dreamed that the barbarian soldiers had just attacked the city of Dianchi and were hit by a blow. Even the Wei army was not injured, and a corpse was killed by the Wei army, with blood flowing everywhere. There were at least thousands of barbarian soldiers who were shot to death under the city.

This is just as the battle began, and the barbarian army suffered such a heavy blow. If they wanted to capture Dianchi Lake, they still didn't know how much casualties they should pay.

But at this point, Meng Li couldn't fight if he didn't want to fight. If he withdraws his troops at this time, Meng Li would probably be ridiculed for the rest of his life. So even if Dianchi City is difficult to fight, Meng Li would have to bite the bullet and fight.

However, this time Meng Li did not send someone to attack again, and after a failure, the barbarians' desire to massacre the city was half eliminated. After all, even if they really wanted to go to the city, they had to break through the Wei army's defense line first. Otherwise, if they rushed forward so stupidly, they would have to sacrifice their lives in vain.

Even if the white and tender Han beauty is there, they will not be blessed to suffer.

Meng Li carefully looked at the barbarian soldiers who fled back. Except for some barbarian soldiers who were slightly injured, most of the ones who fled back alive were shield soldiers holding shields.

The shields of the barbarian soldiers were relatively simple, but it was this simple shield that made many people come back after they saved their lives. It seemed that the most effective weapon was the shield. So Meng Li summoned all the shield soldiers in the barbarian army, forming a large square formation of shield soldiers, slowly advancing, and also covering other barbarian soldiers.

After attacking again, the barbarians changed their previous running mode and their advancement speed slowed down significantly. After seeing the power of the Wei army's crossbow, these barbarians no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, and their attack became cautious and trembling.

After the barbarians retreated, the Wei army's bows and arrows stopped shooting. After they attacked again, the Wei army did not stop attacking because most of the barbarians held shields. Instead, they increased the shooting force and launched another cover strike on the barbarians.

After suffering a great loss in this attack, the barbarians also learned to be smart this time. They all hurried behind the shield, and with the help of the shield's defense function, they approached the city step by step.

However, the shields used by the barbarians are far inferior to those of the Wei army. The shields used by the barbarians are simply varied. In terms of material, there are wood, bamboo, and leather. In terms of shape, there are round, square, oval, and irregular shapes, with different sizes and different thicknesses.
