    ————————————————————————

    Generally, the higher-level generals wear more advanced armor.

    Some senior generals even wear armor that covers most of their bodies. In addition to not affecting physical activities, their hands, feet, body, and even their heads are protected.

    But no matter how protected it is, there are a few places that will definitely not be covered by armor.

    For example, the joints of the limbs, or even the face!

    Whoosh!

    The violent sound of breaking through the air, the extremely fast flight speed, even exceeded the speed of sound!

    Before the sound could be heard, the arrow turned into a white light, tearing apart hundreds of meters in an instant, cutting through the space, and appeared in front of you.

    Wearing the black gold-rimmed armor that only a few high-ranking generals of the Qin Dynasty wore, General Qin had no time to react at all. The next moment he realized the danger, he only had time to hear the harsh sound of breaking through the air and see the oncoming white light.

    Then he knew nothing, and his consciousness instantly fell into endless darkness.

    "good!"

    With a loud shout, Yingbu, who was a little annoyed just now, shouted in ecstasy on the city wall.  He couldn't help but smashed a section of the city wall in front of him with all his strength.

    The scene where the Qin general fell to the ground instantly was actually seen by a few people.  Regardless of whether it was the attacking or defending side, most people's attention was focused on the brutal fighting.

    But senior generals such as Liu Bangyingbu saw that scene directly.  After seeing it.  Suddenly a surge of ecstasy surged into my heart!

    And the one who shot that shocking arrow was Lu Wan, the heroic female general who belonged to Liu Bang and was wearing white armor.

    "General Lu Wan has great skills! I admire your archery skills!"

    Yingbu is a very proud and belligerent person. Although he is very straightforward, he also has some flaws in his character, that is, he is quite indifferent and even venomous towards those he dislikes.

    But once recognized by him.  Then this person will be the best friend.

    It was precisely because of a fight with him that Liu Bang improved their relationship before.  Now that Lu Wan had just shown off his superb archery skills, it even made Ying Budu feel inferior.

    To know.  Compared with the arrow just now, the arrow Yingbu shot with all his strength seemed to pale in comparison.

    In speed and strength.  In terms of instant reaction and other aspects, Lu Wan's arrow could be said to have exceeded the limit of ordinary bows and arrows.

    "That arrow just now was as good as a bullet, and even chased a sniper rifle."

    Although it was amazing, Liu Bang was not too shocked.  After all, in the future, after seeing too many war scenes with various bullets and even cannonballs flying around, what I see in front of me seems a bit dull.

    "Lu Wan is too embarrassed to deserve General Xie Yingbu's praise."

    There was a hint of pride on Lu Wan's face.  Although she fought on the real battlefield, her strength was not as good as many of the fierce generals present, let alone compared to the likes of Yingbu.  But what she was most proud of was her archery skills.  This was the time when Liu Bang personally discovered her specialness, and then under the guidance, she made rapid progress.

    It can be said that Lu Wan's archery skills are also one of Liu Bang's trump cards.  Except for a few people, you know.  For example, except for peerless generals like Xiang Yu Longconcubine or peerless masters like Qin Su, few people could avoid Lu Wan's arrows.

    Of course, the premise is to be unexpected. Once someone detects it in advance, the threat will be much less.  After all, Lu Wan's archery skills were barely comparable to the bullet speed of future thermal weapons.  And even if it is a bullet, it is still possible to dodge it as long as you take precautions in advance and your own strength and reflexes are good.

    Because the general who commanded the siege was killed by a sniper, the Qin army's siege troops were affected soon after.  As for the defense of the city, many people soon learned that one of their own generals directly used bows and arrows to snipe the enemy generals, and their morale was greatly shocked.

    "Retreat! The Qin army retreats!"

    With shouts of surprise, it turned out that the Qin army finally chose to retreat after leaving behind about four to five thousand corpses.

    "Finally retreated."

    Liu Bang and Yingbu both breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that this was only temporary. It was just the death of the general commanding the front line of the Qin army that caused the Qin army to retreat temporarily.  Once new generals are dispatched, the siege will continue.

    But this is also a chance to breathe. It has been less than two hours since the siege started, but the consumption is huge.

    "Statistical losses!"

    Soon the casualties and losses were roughly calculated.

     "Three hundred and seventy-two people were killed in the battle, and more than a thousand were injured!" After learning this, Yingbu looked somewhat ugly.

    "Fortunately, of the more than 1,000 people injured, most of them were minor injuries and would not have much impact."

    Liu Bang is also a bit ugly, because more than 100 of the 372 people who died in the battle were his men, and more than 400 of the more than 1,000 injured were his.

    It can be seen from this that Liu Bang's troops are slightly stronger than the Chu army led by Yingbu.  Of course, this is just a general feeling. Unless you fight head-on, it's really difficult to judge the real strength.

    But how long did it take for Liu Bang’s troops to be formed?  It is very rare to be able to compete with the elite Chu army.

    In fact, facing tens of thousands or even nearly 200,000 enemy troops attacking the city, they only had more than 20,000 troops. In the first wave of defensive battles, they only lost such a small amount. They can be extremely proud!

    Although the attacking party needs to pay at least three times the number of casualties to break the city, this is recognized in history.  But looking at this comparison, the Qin army threw away at least 5,000 corpses, while less than 400 people died on the defensive side. The death ratio was more than ten to one. If word spread, it would definitely surprise and even horrify countless people.  .

    Of course, some tricks were also used, that is, Lu Wan's arrow directly killed the Qin army's general who commanded tens of thousands of people to attack the city, which affected the Qin army to a certain extent.  In conjunction with the traps previously deployed within a few hundred meters of the city wall, otherwise this effect would not be achieved.

    But no matter what, this is somewhat of an inspiration!

    "If nothing else happens, the second wave of the Qin army's attack on the city will take at least two hours. Let's take advantage of this time to rest!"

    Although the Qin army retreated, the tens of thousands of cavalry were still wandering, and they had no chance to evacuate.  Because most of them are infantry, once they leave the city, they will be completely destroyed by just a few of the tens of thousands of cavalry.

    However, the Qin army failed to attack the city this time, and it will take some time to regroup and arrange the next attack.

    Except for a few people who were placed on guard duty, the rest fell to the ground, sat or lay down, and quickly recovered their strength.  Some people were handling the bodies of their fallen comrades, while the injured were bandaging their wounds.

    As for Liu Bang, Yingbu and others, they gathered together to discuss how to deal with it.

    "We must find a way, otherwise the city will be destroyed in three days at most!" (To be continued)
