Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 373
Under the command of Bao Long, the sword and shield fighters of the Shenjian Battalion blocked the charge of Liu Biao's soldiers almost without retreating.

However, the number of soldiers on Liu Biao's side was rapidly decreasing with the fighting on the battlefield. It was mainly the crossbow arrows fired by the crossbowmen of the Divine Arrow Battalion that caused a lot of damage to them.

It was like an egg hitting a rock. The eggs shattered in front of the rock, and the shells of the eggs were trampled to pieces on the ground.

For a while, on the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, there were corpses strewn all over the field, blood flowing all over the ground, not to mention the fallen corpses, even if some people who were still alive fell down in the fighting area between the two sides, they would be trampled into flesh.

After fighting like this for a while, the soldiers on Liu Biao's side finally couldn't hold on any longer. Of the 500 soldiers who rushed out, now there are only more than [-] left.

Many of Liu Biao's soldiers were stroked and were in charge of charging into the ranks of military marquis and commander-level low-ranking officers. They also fell in front of the sword and shield army formation of the Shenjian Battalion, but they still failed to tear a hole in the formation formed by the sword and shield hands.

Even the two generals of Liu Biao who were in charge of leading the army rushed forward, trying to use their own force to tear apart the sword and shield formation of the Shenjian Battalion, but they also failed.

One of Liu Biao's generals, Bao Long, who was in charge of commanding the battle from the Shenjian Battalion, waited for an opportunity and shot a cold arrow in the forehead, and fell directly in front of the army formation. His body was quickly trampled into a pulp.

And another general of Liu Biao's department cut down a few sword and shield hands of the Shenjian Battalion, and seemed to have torn a hole in the neat shield formation. It can be seen that another department will be shot and killed by a hidden arrow, but he dare not continue Being exposed and charging forward, he could only retreat again, hide under the shield behind, and continue to direct other soldiers to charge.

This is a battle on the battlefield. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, it is impossible to guard against sudden cold arrows on the chaotic battlefield.

If all the commanding generals are dead, the uncommanded infantry will soon collapse, so Liu Biao will not dare to risk his life. Once he is dead, the remaining soldiers will have nothing to fight .

And Bao Long, one of the five great generals in Jingnan who was born as a hunter in the mountains, is also good at archery. Therefore, while commanding his sword, shield and crossbowmen to resist Liu Biao's assault, he will naturally pay attention to some outstanding soldiers in the enemy army. People, looking for opportunities to shoot them to weaken the threat to their own army.

Therefore, under his command, Liu Biao's soldiers had no chance to break through at all, and gradually Liu Biao's soldiers became a little confused.

The Liu Biao soldiers in front couldn't get through no matter how they rushed, as if they were blocked in front of a solid sword, mountain and shield wall. Follow up to rush up, and then die and hurt again to make way for the people behind to attack.

However, Liu Biao's soldiers behind here are not safe. There are crossbow arrows falling continuously in the air. Even if they protect the head and other vital parts with hand shields, they will still be shot at other parts of the body by the crossbow arrows.

How could such a battle be fought?

Therefore, as fewer and fewer soldiers rushed out from Liu Biao's side, many soldiers had lost the courage to rush into the formation. They just dodged the crossbow arrows falling from the air and began to want to retreat.

However, there was only one of the two generals who commanded Liu Biao's soldiers, and many of the other military commanders and commander-level grassroots officers who commanded the soldiers also died.

Without the restraint of low-level officers, some soldiers who died of low-level officers such as military marquises and commanders began to look for opportunities to retreat, but their actions also drove other soldiers to flee together.

It can be said that the [-] soldiers sent by Liu Biao to try to destroy Zhu Wei's simple siege vehicle and mobile arrow rest, after more than half of them were killed or injured, gradually began to collapse themselves.

At this moment, even the remaining Liu Biao general who was in charge of the command could not control the situation. When he was charging just now, he was also stabbed and slashed a few times, and he had already left several wounds on his body. In fact, he was fine. Continue to fight the mind.

So seeing his soldiers retreating towards the city gate like a collapse, he had no choice but to retreat with the army.

However, he was still trying to maintain the integrity of the retreat of the army, so that he would not completely abandon his troops and armor, so that he could only leave his back to the sword and shield fighters of the Shenjian Battalion to hack.

But at this time, the retreat route of these remnants of Liu Biao had also been blocked. Chen Ying, who was climbing the city in front to attack the city, heard the order from Tai Shici behind, and turned around with his soldiers to surround these remnants of Liu Biao who had left the city. up.

Chen Ying rushed forward with a double-edged long fork in his hand, and nearly five thousand siege sword shields followed behind.

Compared with Pancheng, it is naturally easier to rob and kill Liu Biao's soldiers who don't have much fighting spirit now.

So another melee broke out in the Baibu area near the gate of Yicheng.

This time the two sides have no military formation at all, they are completely infiltrated with each other, fighting chaotically on the battlefield, but the sword and shield fighters on the side of the Shenjian Battalion are obviously several times the number of Liu Biao's soldiers who fled back, and the situation is reversed. It was also an overwhelming massacre of Liu Biao's defeated soldiers.

Seeing that the number of Liu Biao's soldiers that rushed out decreased little by little, the remaining Liu Biao's soldiers, less than a thousand, gradually retreated together, surrounded and hacked by the swords and shields of the Shenjian Battalion commanded by Chen Ying from all directions.

Their ending was either to be completely wiped out by the swords and shields of the Shenjian Battalion commanded by Chen Ying, or they could only surrender before the battle.

But at this moment, the gate of Yicheng opened again, and Liu Qi rushed out of the city again with a few Liu Biao generals and six or seven thousand soldiers, and quickly rushed out of the surrounding Liu Biao Remnant soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

It turned out that Liu Biao, who was commanding in the Jiange of the city gate, saw that the soldiers leaving the city were going to be surrounded and wiped out, but it had no effect on the destruction of Zhu Wei's siege and chariots. He could only let his son Liu Qi bring more troops out of the city to fight. .

If you can't destroy Zhu Wei's siege arrow stand, Yicheng will be difficult to defend. At least until Liu Biao can't find a way to defend, he can only send troops to fight Zhu Wei's army outside the city.

Because Liu Qi rushed out with the new force in the city, Chen Ying, who was going to encircle and wipe out Liu Biao's remnant soldiers, could only use his general flag to order the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion to get out of the way, and retreat a few steps to find a place to regroup.

Otherwise, they will be attacked from both sides, but they will also suffer a lot of losses.

In this way, Liu Qi quickly rescued the remnant soldiers surrounded in front of the city gate, and then led the remnant soldiers to rush towards the direction of the dozen or so siege vehicles. Don't give up meaning.

After Liu Qi led his troops out of the city gate, there were apparently nearly ten thousand Liu Biao soldiers gathered inside the city gate, waiting to rush out.

If Liu Qi still fails to gain the upper hand, Liu Biao will send more soldiers to help Liu Qi destroy these siege chariots, and will never let these siege chariots suppress the guards on the city wall...
