Xiahou Ba never imagined that there were such powerful weapons in this world.
Even though he was prepared early, his arms, thighs, and abdomen were still shot by crossbow arrows.
If it weren’t for Xiahou Ba’s excellent armor and excellent defense, which could offset more than half of the impact, even he might not have been able to escape his misfortune.
Xiahou Ba wanted to catch the opponent off guard, but unexpectedly it was an ambush by the opponent.
He was horrified to find that more than half of the army was dead or wounded. If it continued, the whole army would really be annihilated.
Finally, Xiahou Ba helplessly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!" He led the defeated army back to the city in embarrassment.
Everything that happened outside the city was seen by the defenders on top of the city.
The arrogant young general Xiahou Ba was beaten and fled in panic without even touching the opponent's hair.
Such a scene made the defenders look very ugly.
They will inevitably wonder in their minds, how should they respond if they face such an attack?
In the end, the defenders all came up with similar answers.
Either hold on for dear life and rush into the battle at the risk of being directly shot by the opponent; or you can only surrender to avoid death.
After the defenders thought about it, everyone's expressions became even uglier, and some could not hide the horror in their eyes.
And then thinking about the leaflets that the enemy had just dropped into the city, it hit the morale of the defenders to the greatest extent.
The battle here was first spread among the defenders, and then inevitably revealed. In just one night, the whole city knew about it.
In order to avoid damaging the morale of the army, Xia Houyuan organized a team to search for enemy leaflets from house to house.
This made the atmosphere in the already precarious city even more solemn.
No matter ordinary soldiers or ordinary people, they don’t even dare to say hello to other people when walking on the road.
He only dared to make simple exchanges with his eyes and passed by in a hurry.
But at night, in various hidden corners, those people who had been there during the day secretly gathered together again to discuss the current situation.
"In my opinion, what the enemy said is very likely to be true. You don't know that the army is really a magic weapon and general, and it can't be stopped."
"That makes sense. I saw it with my own eyes. Each of the young general's tiger and leopard riders were shot into hedgehogs."
"Alas! What should we do with this? Even the powerful Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are no match, so aren't we all doomed?"
"How about we just run away!"
"What a good idea? The enemy's leaflet clearly stated that Rongqiu has fallen. How can we go back?"
This group of people came from the direction of Rongqiu to support them.
Now when they heard that Rongqiu had fallen, everyone looked gloomy, frightened and seemed to have lost their faith.
"With our level, we must be used as cannon fodder, so naturally we will inevitably die. If we surrender, we might still have a chance of survival.
And now that our hometown is in the hands of others, do we still have to leave our hometown and flee to the end of the world? "
People of that era attached great importance to their hometown.
Therefore, his words naturally moved many people.
In the end, all those people were persuaded to prepare for the war and surrender directly to save their lives.
In fact, this kind of scene is not only happening here, but also in many corners of the city.
I am afraid that except for the 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry from Xia Houyuan's direct line, almost all other ordinary soldiers are ready to surrender.
After several days of leaflet offensive, the atmosphere in the city has reached a critical point after continuous fermentation.
On this day, Zhuge Liang finally decided that the time was right to officially attack the city!
Early in the morning, the two armies were dispatched and marched towards Shanggui City from their respective directions.
Before the army even entered, the dull vibrations had already alerted the defenders on the city.
At first, they thought the other party was just an ordinary harassment, and didn't pay too much attention.
However, more and more armies continue to emerge from the distant horizon.The defenders of Shanggui City were finally stunned.
The guard hurriedly sent out the most urgent signal, notifying everyone to gather and prepare for defense.
Xia Houyuan and others also arrived immediately after hearing the signal.
When he saw the enemy troops in the distance clearly, he murmured solemnly: "Are we going to start? Zhuge Liang finally couldn't bear it anymore!"
However, despite the large number of enemy troops, Zhang He was not worried because there were still 80,000 defenders in Shanggui City.
With the solid city walls and the various supplies stored in the city, Xia Houyuan believed that he would be able to hold on.
So before the battle began, the generals on both sides were full of confidence.
The two armies of Zhang He and Huang Zhong finally arrived at their designated positions. Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and the two armies immediately launched into action.
Both Zhang He and Huang Zhong built huge stone cannons.
Therefore, the first round of attack is naturally the stage for the boulder cannon.
“Boom… boom…”
Earth-shaking sounds came one after another, followed by the sound of huge rocks colliding with the city wall.
Although the city wall of Shanggui is indeed strong, under the huge impact, stones still flew across the wall and screams were made.
Although the giant stone cannon could not immediately disintegrate the city wall, it would have a huge impact on morale.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The soldiers had horrified expressions on their faces, their two sides fighting, they had long been frightened to death by such a scene.
Xia Houyuan wanted to immediately lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush out and destroy the enemy's huge stone cannon.
But when he thought of what happened to Xiahou Ba before, he suddenly sobered up.
Before, Xiahouba faced a small force and suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, when the army attacks, these 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry may not even be able to make waves, and they will be completely wiped out.
In the end, Xia Houyuan had no choice but to give up this plan and concentrate on defense.
Zhuge Liang took a look and saw that the enemy general only dared to retreat into the city and did not even have the courage to take the initiative to attack.
Then what is he waiting for?
Directly ordered the boulder cannon to blast as hard as possible, vowing to blast a gap in this solid city wall.
Under the constant bombardment of the huge stone cannon, both the city walls and the defenders suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the frightened defenders retreated directly from the city wall and hid in a safe place.
Prepare to wait for the bombardment of the boulder cannon before returning to the top of the city to defend.
However, although his life was saved, the defense above the city was immediately empty.
If the enemy troops rush over at this moment, the defenders who are avoiding danger will not have time to react, and they will be rushed to the top of the city. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
