Chapter 766 The End of the Crossbow

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill him, but I let this guy escape." Xia Houshang stared at Dong Xi who was surrounded by people and snorted coldly.

When Xiahou Shang personally repelled Dong Xi, the morale of Jiangdong Army was inevitably depressed, so even the momentum of the attack slowed down.

"The whole army is standing firm, and no orders are given by the general, and no attacks are allowed without permission!"

Xia Houshang gave an order and led the army back to the front to resist the Jiangdong Army's attack.

Earlier, the 20,000 Jiangdong Army led by Zhou Yu moved towards Xia Houyuan's front and killed them overwhelmingly.

"Fire the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Xia Houyuan gave an order, and the archers in Cao's army had been prepared for a long time. The bowstrings shook, and thousands of arrows flew into the sky, crossing thousands of arcs in the air, and then fell straight down. The charging Jiangdong Army was all covered in it.

"Well!"

"ah!"

Jiangdong's soldiers who rushed forward seemed to be in a heavy rain. Endless arrows fell, immediately covering the most powerful soldiers. These soldiers were all warriors who dared to fight, and were proficient in each. The art of battle formation, at this moment, Cao Jun died unexpectedly without even touching the corner of his clothes.

The Jiangdong soldiers looked miserable when they died. Some Jiangdong soldiers became living targets, with dozens of arrows stuck in their bodies, just like a living hedgehog.

"Fire the arrow!"

Of course Zhou Yu couldn't be beaten in vain, so he also ordered the bows to be fired. The archers in Jiangdong's army drew their bows and arrows, aimed at Cao's army, and unleashed a hail of arrows.

"Raise your shield!"

The sword and shield players in Cao's army were already prepared for bow and arrow shooting, and they all raised their shields above their heads. There was only an aggressive sound, but the arrow hit the shield, making a sound of gold and iron colliding, and fell to the ground. In Cao Jun's formation, there were several muffled sounds from time to time, but it was Jiangdong Jun's arrows that passed through the gaps between the shields and hit Cao Bing.

Jiangdong's army, as the charging side, naturally suffered more damage than Cao's army. Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, had an expressionless face. The Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers around him felt a little relieved when they saw his calm expression. However, in fact, Zhou Yu was not guaranteed to defeat Cao Jun, but he suppressed his worries and did not show them.

Now, it all depends on the performance of the frontline generals. Don't let me down.

Jiangdong's army was all elite this time, and there were several generals who personally led the troops and supervised the battle on the front line. They personally led the troops to charge, so the morale of Jiangdong's army was extremely high.

Taishi Ci held a spear in one hand and a halberd in the other, and shouted: "Kill with me!"

"kill!"

Jiangdong's army gathered around Taishi Ci and swarmed up. Taishi Ci's prestige in Jiangdong is very high, because he once fought fiercely with Sun Ce at Shenting Ridge, and his martial arts skills were rarely rivaled. Especially after Sun Ce's death, Taishi Ci's martial arts has been vaguely respected as the best in Jiangdong.

I saw the spear and halberd in Taishi Ci's hand, and one person rushed into the enemy army like a storm. He held a spear in his right hand and a halberd in his left hand, but they complemented each other. The halberd master hooked the enemy's weapon, and the crescent blade on it hooked left and right. The enemy's weapon was staggered by Taishi Ci, and the door was wide open. At this time, Taishi Ci thrust forward with his right hand, and Cao's soldiers were straightened up. Then he fell to the ground.

"That enemy general, don't be so arrogant. I, Xia Houjie, am here to fight you!"

Sima, a member of Cao's army, saw Tai Shici in Cao's army's formation as if he was in a deserted area, massacring him wantonly. He suddenly became furious, grabbed his horse and rushed forward.

This Xia Houjie is actually very young, only in his early twenties, but he grew up very early, and his beard takes up half of his face, so he seems to be in the prime of life. He rode his horse forward, shouted loudly, and while Taishi Ci was fighting with Cao Jun, he suddenly stabbed forward with the horse in his hand.

"snort!"

Taishi Ci raised his eyelids and sneered, but did not dodge. The halberd in his left hand was stretched out, and he moved hard to the left, deflecting Xia Houjie's stabbing horse, and took the opportunity to stab Xia Houjie straight into the heart.

"Wow!"

Xia Houjie was startled. Half of his three souls and seven souls were gone. He hurriedly leaned back. The sharp spear tip slid forward and rubbed against the armor on Xia Houjie's chest, causing the armor leaves to fly away. go out.

"Don't leave, I'll come back to fight with you later!"

Xia Houjie was so frightened that he almost lost his life. He said a harsh word and turned around to leave.

"Hmph, let's see I will take his head."

Taishi Ci shouted loudly, and the eyes of the surrounding Cao Jun and Jiang Dongjun were attracted.

Without saying a word, Tai Shici casually inserted the halberd and spear into the ground, grabbed the iron bow behind his back, pinched an arrow, and pulled hard. The three-stone iron bow was fully drawn in an instant, making a squeaking sound. the sound of.

"Go!" Taishi Ci aimed at Xia Houjie's back, his fingers instantly released, and the arrow turned into a stream of light and flew forward.

The bow opens like a full moon, and the arrow shoots out like a shooting star. The arrow flew out and cut through the air. Xia Houjie felt a pain in his vest, as if he was hit hard by a pumpkin hammer. When he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spattered out.

"Well!"

Xia Houjie was "hit" by the arrow and fell off his horse. He faced the ground and his fingers trembled slightly for a while, then stopped moving again. However, Tai Shi Ci's arrow was both hateful and accurate. It hit Xia Houjie's heart, and he was naturally unable to move.

"Taishi Xiaowei's amazing shot!"

The surrounding Jiangdong soldiers couldn't help but cheer. They had long seen Tai Shici's archery skills, and he could pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps. At this moment, he killed a Cao general with one arrow, which naturally boosted their morale.

Cao Jun, on the other hand, looked frightened. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a sharpshooter? It's simply an ancient version of a sniper.

"Hahaha! Captain Taishi is so brave, how can we fall behind?"

Chen Wu shouted: "Anyone who has the guts to come forward and kill Cao's army!"

Huang Gai held an iron whip upside down. Seeing how brave Taishi Ci, Chen Wu and others were, Huang Gai was not willing to lag behind and charged with the iron whip. Cao Cao's army rushed forward and was hit on the head with an iron whip. Red and white blood rushed out together, and he died straight up.

The Jiangdong Army generals personally led their troops to charge and kill. The tens of thousands of Jiangdong Army naturally had high morale, and they continued to attack Cao Jun's formation like waves, killing and wounding Cao's soldiers.

However, although Jiangdong's army attacked fiercely, the disadvantaged Cao's army was in a stable position. Jiangdong's army broke through a gap for a while, and just when it was about to launch a fierce attack, a Cao army immediately filled it and blocked Jiangdong's offensive.

But it was Xia Houyuan who controlled the troops before the battle. His eyes were like lightning, and he had an insight into the battle situation. Whenever he saw Cao Jun's formation crumbling somewhere, he immediately waved his hand, and a school army horse rushed up beside him to block the gap, so Cao Jun's formation was impregnable.
