Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 665
Liu Bei and Zang Ba, who were supervising the battle in the rear, looked a little ugly when they saw the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion with completely different temperaments appearing on the city wall.

The fighting power displayed by the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion cannot be underestimated.

Although the gap on the north wall of Pengcheng is still there, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba drove their troops to attack before, they might be able to break through with a small amount of troops, but now they want to break through this gap, but they don't know how many soldiers will be lost. .

The terrifying lethality brought by the crossbow bolts is really daunting.

If fighting on flat ground, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's allied forces might still have a chance to rush to the front and break through, but now, after all, they need to climb over the relatively sloping collapsed city wall. This distance is enough to kill a large number of attacking soldiers under crossbow arrows.

What's more, there are shield walls and spear formations on the city wall. Even if you get close to the city wall, it is difficult to easily kill the city wall like before, and start a melee fight with the guarding soldiers on the city wall.

To be honest, if Xu Shu hadn't suddenly filled up with soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion just now, Liu Bei and Zang Ba were already ready to send Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, Yin Li and other brave generals to charge up with their troops.

But now facing the continuous crossbow arrows on the city wall, even fierce generals like Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li dare not charge easily.

"Mr. Xuande, it seems that Zhu Wei's reinforcements have arrived, and the combat power is really extraordinary. So what should we do!"

Zang Ba felt a little guilty again. Although he and Liu Bei's coalition forces had a lot of troops, they didn't have the ability to encircle Pengcheng. Doing so would only disperse their forces.

At that time, Zhang Liao can naturally find a place with weak forces to break through, and take the opportunity to defeat the scattered coalition forces of Liu Bei and Zang Ba.

So this is completely inconsistent with the tactics of war, but the problem is that if Pengcheng cannot be surrounded, then Zhang Liao and Xu Shu can easily return to the city from other gates of Pengcheng to assist in the defense.

Anyway, they can't find a chance to sneak attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's allied forces outside the city. It is better to go back to the city to increase the defense of the city. When necessary, they can still send troops from the city to attack.

As a result, the elite soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion brought by Xu Shu replaced the original recruits from Xuzhou. This made Pengcheng's defense suddenly look like mud replaced rocks, and a steel wall was built with flesh and blood.

Zang Ba didn't want his Taishan thieves to be wasted on such a siege battle.

Just now, among the elite siege soldiers, there were hundreds of Taishan bandit soldiers belonging to Zang Ba, but as soon as Xu Shu's soldiers from the Divine Arrow Battalion arrived, they were shot to death by crossbow arrows and injured at least two to three hundred people. Heartache.

And Liu Bei also looked at the combat power of the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion on the city wall from afar. Although Liu Bei had led troops in Shouchun before, he had joined forces with Zhu Wei's army, but at that time he just felt that Zhu Wei's army was neat and neat, with siege equipment. Rich and varied, but the real battle scene has never been seen.

Zhu Wei did not carry out a strong attack on the north gate of Shouchun, but used tricky digging tactics, so Liu Bei still felt that Zhu Wei's army might not have such a strong combat effectiveness.

But at this moment, Liu Bei finally knew the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's army from the performance of these soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion.

The soldiers who died before also had Liu Bei's elite, and Liu Bei's heart was bleeding after these soldiers died, but he couldn't help but waited and watched for a while, as if he saw something, "Xuan Gao, look , there were not many flags on the city, so it can be seen that only a part of Zhu Wei's soldiers came! Perhaps it was not the main force of Zhu Wei's army, but a partial army! Xuan Gao, now Pengcheng has a way to enter the city, although With these Zhu guards guarding them, it is not impossible to win after all! As long as we can break through this breach and enter Pengcheng, then what are these archers afraid of! Xuan Gao, if our army wins However, these forbidden weapons in the army can be seized!"

"Why, Duke Xuande still wants to fight?"

Hearing this, Zang Ba followed Liu Bei's instructions and looked up again. He could also see that the number of Zhu Wei troops on the city wall did not seem to be very large. At the same time, the collapsed breach in the city wall here was indeed an entry point into Pengcheng. Great opportunity.

But if he really wanted to break through this breach, he didn't know how many lives would be needed. The crossbows in the hands of Zhu Weijun's soldiers on the city wall were really terrifying.

Even if Liu Bei used the crossbows above as bait, Zang Ba still hesitated whether it was worthwhile.

"With the cover of a large shield, these crossbows can still withstand one or two arrows after all. As long as they can break through, these crossbows will be useless! Xuan Gao, I will let my third brother be the vanguard, and Xuan Gao will also choose two generals to go with me Bar!"

At this time, Liu Bei was also a little blinded by the benefits. After all, he was almost able to break the city just now, but it was a pity that Zhang Fei was not allowed to go up. However, the collapsed breach in the city wall this time was indeed a good opportunity to break the city, so he prepared Attack at all costs.

Isn't it just crossbow arrows, as long as you use a big shield to resist, you can still rush up against the rain of arrows, as long as you can rush up to the city wall, as long as you rush to the front of these Zhu guards, then you won't be afraid of crossbow arrows.

Of course, Liu Bei also has great trust in the strength of his third brother Zhang Fei. Although this Zhang Fei always caused him trouble, it was also Zhang Fei who caused him to lose Xuzhou before, but Zhang Fei has undeserved courage after all. He is a rare warrior in the world.

However, Liu Bei still didn't want to completely consume his troops, so he still hoped that Zang Ba could send troops to cooperate, so that Zang Ba would also send two generals to go up.

Zang Ba frowned slightly when he heard the words, looked at the collapsed breach in the city wall ahead, looked at the soldiers of Zhu Wei who were shooting crossbow arrows between the arrow stacks, and looked at the crossbow machines, he finally nodded, "Alright, Sun Guan, Yin Li, the two of you, bring five hundred elite men, and go charge again!"

"Okay, third brother, you are the first to bring five hundred swords and shields, and you must rush up the city wall, but, third brother, be careful!"

Seeing that Zang Ba agreed, Liu Bei also turned his head and instructed Zhang Fei, but in the end he still instructed with concern, which had become his habitual behavior.

"No!", "No!"

Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li agreed, and then they went up and selected five hundred elites from the army, formed a tight shield formation with large shields and small shields, and rushed to the breach in the city wall again.

"Archer cover! Don't take a step back! Sword and shield hand, go up and protect the archer!"

Seeing that Zhang Fei and the others were going up, Liu Bei immediately gave instructions to the archers in front. He did not hesitate to fight, so he came to the edge of the battlefield in person, drew out his double swords and supervised the bows and arrows in front of him. hand.

However, he also organized a lot of swordsmen and shields to resist the crossbow arrows for the archers, which can be regarded as reassuring the archers.

"Kill those who retreat!"

Seeing this, Zang Ba also followed up, and also gave instructions to the archers under him, and arranged supervisor soldiers behind all the archers.

At this time, the archers who had lost their fighting spirit after being shot by the crossbow arrows could only stabilize their minds, and threw feather arrows towards the city wall again to provide cover for their own siege army.

And Zhang Fei, Sun Guan, and Yin Li led their soldiers into a shield formation consisting of two to thirty people, and rushed towards the breach in the city wall...
