In the era of cold weapons, archers can be said to be the most common long-range attack unit, and also the unit that all parties attach most importance to.
A qualified archer is worth no less than a cavalryman.
Among the factors that affect archers the most, apart from scientific and systematic training, is the quality of bows and arrows.
Especially the bow, its quality will directly affect the archer's ability.
And whether it was Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or even Cao Cao's army, they all used the most common bows of this period.
But Liu Ke¡¯s army is different. They all use composite bows that have been improved by Liu Ke.
Not only the range and accuracy are far superior, but the physical strength consumed is far less than that of bows and arrows at that time.
Therefore, after Liu Ke¡¯s army fired five rounds in a row, the enemy fired three rounds, but the damage caused by nervousness was minimal.
It is because of the gap in these conditions that under the cover of Liu Ke's archer troops, the army finally arrived at the city.
Among them, the fastest one is Zhang Liao.
He had a bad start in the battle with Liu Beijun before, and he was forced by the other party to bother His Majesty to take action.
So this time, I had already held back a breath of bad breath.
Therefore, when Liu Ke arranged to attack Lexiang, he took the initiative to ask Ying to attack the east gate, which bore the brunt.
Because according to what he thought, this place must be the most heavily guarded position by the enemy.
As expected, as soon as Zhang Liao arrived at the city, he saw Chen Dao who was loudly directing the defense.
He immediately shouted unceremoniously: "Soldiers, we were the military camp that was attacked at night by the other party.
Having forced us into such an embarrassing situation, we must not let it go like this! The opportunity for the soldiers to take revenge has come today. Follow me and rush to the city to wipe out the defenders! "
Under Zhang Liao's instigation, the morale of the army was instantly boosted, and they launched the final charge towards the city head with howls.
Chen Dao heard the shouting from the city, looked down, and happened to meet Zhang Liao's eyes.
?? Before these two old enemies really come to grips with each other, fierce sparks have already erupted in the air.
Chen Dao had fought with Zhang Liao several times, and of course he knew the opponent's strength, so he immediately rushed to the position where Zhang Liao was attacking from the side.
At the same time, Zhang Liao had already led the soldiers to climb up the city wall.
"Hurry up and hold on! Drive the enemy troops down the city!" The guard responsible for guarding this small area shouted, waving his sword.
However, just when the soldier was about to lean out and move away the opponent's ladder to climb the city, his body suddenly shook and he fell top-heavy down the city.
It turns out that Zhang Liao¡¯s siege force is no ordinary person.
They are not only brave and good at fighting, they are the most elite group of Zhang Liao's men, and each of them is a master of crossbows.
This kind of hand crossbow is small, light and easy to string. Although the range is only a dozen steps, it can cause great damage within the range.
It is the right time to use it in the hands of the siege troops. As long as the defenders lean out, they will immediately be greeted by the crossbows of Zhang Liao's army. Without exception, those who were hit by arrows fell into the city and died.
With the cooperation of strong bows at the rear and powerful crossbows at close range, Zhang Liao's brave men finally broke through the enemy's obstruction and reached the city wall.
The defenders on the city had no idea that the opponent would advance so fast, and they became a little panicked due to shock.
Zhang Liao saw the opportunity and immediately took the lead and rushed over. Wherever the sword touched, no one in the way was spared.
Seeing that the guard army was about to collapse completely under Zhang Liao's charge, Chen Dao quickly mobilized his men and rushed over together.
As soon as he saw Zhang Liao, he immediately shouted: "The thief will stop being so rampant, Chen will come to meet you!"
"Hahaha! Rat, you finally dare to come out! I thought you also knew some sneaky tricks!"
Chen Dao's attack on the camp last night not only failed to achieve the expected success, but was tricked by Zhang Liao, which made him feel unhappy.
At this moment, he was ridiculed as a sneaky person by the other party, and he was even more furious.
He immediately stepped out of the crowd and stabbed Zhang Liao with his spear.
The gun was sharp and struck Zhang Liao's throat like a ray of silver light. Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly cut him open with a knife.
However, this move still made Zhang Liao's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that after not seeing you all night, your marksmanship has improved a lot!"
It turns out that although Chen Dao only exchanged a few moves with Zhao Yun last night, he received a huge blow.Shake.
In fact, Chen Dao is not a stupid and lazy person. On the contrary, he is very diligent and studious, but he has no choice but to come from a humble background and did not receive much formal guidance.
Except for some superficial skills learned previously, all the marksmanship skills were figured out on the battlefield and are self-taught.
However, although this kind of marksmanship has been tempered by blood and fire, it is still not systematic and cannot exert its due power.
But among the generals in Yizhou, no one was good at marksmanship. Only Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear came close.
However, there is still a slight gap between the attack idea of ??the snake spear and the spear, which also makes Chen Dao's marksmanship remain at the primary stage and cannot be improved.
However, after witnessing Zhao Yun's lightning-fast shooting skills last night, he suddenly became suspicious and was greatly inspired.
Therefore, in today's battle, he used it unknowingly, which caught Zhang Liao off guard.
However, Zhang Liao is not an ordinary person. In the previous battles, he has always suppressed Chen Dao.
Now Chen Dao has only generated some inspiration, and is still far from perfecting his marksmanship, so apart from the beginning, he was finally suppressed by Zhang Liao again.
Zhang Liao, waving his sword, moved forward step by step, and gradually opened up an area of ??his own on the top of the city.
Chen Dao struggled to greet him, but still couldn't withstand Zhang Liao's attack, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.
However, fortunately, Liu Bei, who was stationed in the city, was not idle. He sent soldiers to explore the battle situation at various locations, especially the progress of the main battlefield in the east, and to monitor the progress in real time.
When he heard that Chen Dao's army was about to lose its hold, Liu Bei couldn't help but change his face.
He originally thought that with the current arrangement, he would be able to hold on for a few days, but he didn't expect that less than two hours after the battle started, Chen Dao could no longer withstand it.
For the entire defense line, any breakthrough at any point will cause the entire line to collapse, so Liu Bei made a prompt decision and quickly dispatched reserve troops.
"Kong Shan, you must quickly bring five thousand soldiers and horses to support my uncle. We must drive Zhang Liao down from the city!"
After receiving the order, one of the soldiers rushed out.
Following closely, Liu Bei also arranged for the scouts to continue monitoring the fighting on the east wall.
Deng Fang's arrival finally stopped Chen Dao's retreat at the defensive line. Seeing Zhang Liao's bravery, he immediately joined forces with Chen Dao to deal with it.
His joining finally stabilized the situation on the east wall. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
