Chapter 391: The Defenders Are Fierce

The war is about to break out!

There are busy scenes everywhere in Liyang, with soldiers guarding the city sharpening their knives, while the few people in Liyang spontaneously assisted the soldiers guarding the city to transport rolling wood, rocks and other supplies to defend the city.

When Chimei heard the enemy's horn sound, he quickly drove all the people on the city wall. This was not a place they could stay.

From this detail, we can see that the Youzhou army's love for the people was not as adulterated as the slightest.

The Jingzhou army was moving towards the city in an orderly manner, and their steps were steady and their formation was very complete.

Red Eyebrows can conclude that this army is by no means a good person.

The 20,000 vanguard troops led by Liu Bei can definitely be called an elite force. They have very rich battlefield experience, and their combat experience is completely achieved on the battlefield.

In recent years, Jingzhou has been in constant civil strife and is in a state of war. From being in trouble with the Sun family of the Eastern Wu to the rebellion of the Jingzhou clan, the soldiers of Jingzhou have hardly rested much. They were either on the road to war or on the bed for recuperation. In just a few years, Jingzhou even became a blessing in disguise and cultivated a large number of outstanding soldiers.

This time, the 100,000 army led by Liu Biao is one of the best.

Compared with Jingzhou, the Youzhou Army is not inferior, because in recent years, they have all shown themselves as victorious people, destroying Gongsun, defeating the Hu, conquering Wuhuan, and attacking Yuan Shao. These one by one show the strength and elite of the Youzhou Army.

When the soldiers of Jingzhou entered the land of an arrow, they ran wildly like arrows away from the string.

The battle between elites is compared with the military qualities and weapons and equipment of their respective soldiers. The Youzhou Army is a leader in the world in both aspects.

When Chimei saw the Jingzhou army entering the range of its powerful crossbow, he decisively issued an attack order!

After the commander waved the command flag, the powerful crossbow immediately opened its bloody mouth. The crossbow arrow shot out like a stick of the King of Hell, and the rain of arrows poured down towards the Jingzhou army charging under the city.

What followed was the pain of the injured as a group of strokes in Jingzhou fell to the ground and the pain of the injured.

Due to the lack of manpower, only three thousand men guarded the city, Chimei decisively abandoned the catapult car. Because the catapult car was too occupant, a catapult car needed at least twenty people to operate. This is about the catapult car that was improved by Youzhou. If other princes want to use the catapult car, the number of operators required by the catapult car would be at least twice as many as that of Youzhou.

It is precisely because of this reason that Liu Bei did not order the catapult to participate in the war. He was not short of people, but he felt that there was no need to spend that two times. When Liu Bei wanted to come, 20,000 people attacked the city guarded by 3,000 people. That was a matter of being easy to capture?

Not only did Liu Bei think so, but most Jingzhou generals also think so, and even some ordinary Jingzhou soldiers think so.

This is not blind confidence. Their confidence is actually based on some basis. This confidence comes from the fact that their family knows their own affairs and knows the strength of their soldiers. With such an advantage, it is a piece of cake to win Liyang.

About a quarter of an hour later!

The Jingzhou army finally put the ladder on the top of Liyang City. It was originally something worth being happy, but Liu Bei was wondering in his heart because he felt that the progress of his soldiers was too slow.

Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Guan Yu who was immediately beside him, frowned and said, "The soldiers' actions seem to be much slower!"

Guan Yu nodded and echoed: "I've been much slower, and this matter is understandable. The Liaodong crossbow has indeed brought considerable psychological pressure to the soldiers!"

"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded!

When the soldiers of Jingzhou climbed up the ladder, the Liyang defenders immediately made some changes. The defenders divided a group of soldiers and threw wooden rocks at the city, while the other group of defenders stood on relatively back steps, about three feet higher than the battlements. The advantage of this is that it does not affect friendly troops throw wooden rocks at the city, and they can also condescend to their heights and continue to shoot and kill the enemy with powerful crossbows.

The fierce battle on the city wall continued, but Liu Bei sent another team of troops!

A Jingzhou army composed of three thousand people rushed to a location with an arrow from the Liyang city wall. They were all crossbowmen. They kept setting their bows and arrows to shoot against the defenders on the city. They wanted to use this to shoot and consume the living power of the defenders.

About half an incense stick has passed.

Liu Bei looked sideways at the location of the three thousand crossbowmen on his side. He was really shocked when he saw it. The army composed of three thousand crossbowmen was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Liu Bei roughly estimated in his mind that in just a short while, the crossbow army was shot dead and injured by the defenders.

Liu Bei reached out his hand impatiently to point to the crossbow formation in front of him and said, "Who is this leader? Bring him to see me!"

"No!" The personal soldiers took the order and left!

After a long time!

The generals of the crossbow square formation were brought to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei held back his anger and frowned and asked, "How many casualties are our crossbow soldiers?"

The general was ashamed and replied in a low voice: "Our army suffered more than 600 casualties!"

"How many casualties are the enemy?" Liu Bei asked again.

When the general heard this, he showed a very painful expression. After hesitating for a moment, he stuttered: "The enemy has not suffered any obvious casualties, and the last general is probably not more than fifty people!

Liu Bei was so shocked that he took a breath of cold air. He was sure that there was water in what the person in front of him said. The truth is that the enemy did not have obvious casualties, and the following sentence was absolutely nonsense.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and asked slowly, "What's going on? Tell me the truth! If you hide it, you will never forgive me!"

Liu Bei has an advantage. He is willing to give others a chance to explain. If the war is unfavorable and has nothing to do with the generals in front of him, then he will never wrongly accuse a good person. But if the war ahead is wrong in command of the generals in front of him, then he will never let him go easily.

In Liu Bei's opinion, there is no need to rush to kill and attack. It is not too late to make a decision after the truth is found out.

The general reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly: "When I say the envoy, it is not that the generals are incompetent, but the armor of the defenders is too thick. Our crossbow arrows can't shoot their armor at all. The generals... The generals... They all wear double armor! This... are they ordinary soldiers? The ones guarding the city are just three thousand generals!"

After the general finished speaking, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others were all so shocked that they took a breath.
