    Chapter 392 The ruthless Liu Bei

    People¡¯s hearts can be measured, but destiny cannot be violated!  Some things really can't be explained clearly.

    Just like Cao Cao didn't know that Huangfu Sword had arrived in Luoyang, Liu Bei never expected that Zhang Ruzheng, the deputy general of the Longxiang Camp of the Great Wu Kingdom, was leading three thousand elites to rush to Shenyuan Pass, which was not far away.

    The time left for Liu Bei was not the two hours he imagined!

    Cao Cao spent all his efforts and sacrificed tens of thousands of people at Hulao Pass in order to attract everyone's attention to Hulao Pass, and then launched a sharp attack with elite troops to attack Shenyuan Pass in order to open the southeast gate of Luoyang.  .  Originally this was a perfect plan, but I never expected that the genius Guo Jia would see through it just when it was about to complete the final blow.

    Things are unpredictable, Huangfu Sword will come sooner or later, but he arrived in Luoyang on the night when Cao Cao implemented his plan.  If Guo Jia had not made suggestions to strengthen the defense of Shenyuan Pass, Huangfu Jian would not have personally issued an order to dispatch General Zhang Ruxingye to lead his troops to reinforce this dangerous pass, which seemed to be safe.

    Is this all just a coincidence, or is it a destiny?

    The gate was closed, and the archers were shooting through the wall stacks with Cao's army below the city.  Although they were protected by walls, casualties were still inevitable. From time to time, some people fell to the ground screaming, and others made up for it in time. The three hundred arrow positions were always full.  The three hundred sword and shield soldiers held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, watching the battlefield below closely. Their opponents were the enemies who were trying to climb the city wall.

    Although there was no fierce battle, within a short period of time, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and a strong smell of blood filled the air above the Shuyuan Pass.  This is just the beginning, there is no telling how many people will fall under this gate.

    Ding Gao, the captain of the school, was holding a war spear in his hand and looked at the archers falling down at the top of the city and the two groups of Cao troops advancing towards the city with a solemn expression.  Although he knew that General Zhang Ruo was leading three thousand elites on the way, he did not know when Zhang Ruo would arrive and whether the defenders in Guanzhong could hold on until Zhang Ruo's reinforcements arrived.

    "Prepare the catapult!"

    ¡°City defense crossbows are ready!¡±

    ¡°Prepare stones!¡±¡­

    Ding Gao kept shouting to vent the tension deep in his heart.

    Although Ding Gao rose from the lowest rank of soldiers to his current position as a captain by slashing and killing with swords and spears, he has killed countless people and has long been used to life and death.  But it's one thing to kill someone with a knife yourself, and it's another thing to lead an army in combat.  After all, this was his first time leading an army on his own, and his first time facing such a critical situation. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

    Although Shenyuan Pass is small, it is equipped with all the defense equipment.

    Five catapults and five defensive crossbows are arranged alternately on the top of the city. These defensive weapons were originally used to deal with the enemy's large siege equipment.  Next to each battlement, there is also a pile of stones. Each stone weighs about ten kilograms. Use these thick stones to hit the enemies approaching the city wall. They are quick to throw and have great lethality. They are easier to use than bows and arrows.  It can be regarded as a weapon for defending the city.

    At this time, Ding Gao could no longer care about so much.  Regardless of whether the opponent had large-scale siege equipment, he directly ordered the defenders to use catapults and defensive crossbows to bombard the two groups of Cao troops rushing towards the city.

    The thick and long throwing pole on the catapult was raised high, and then slammed down again. The ignited oil bombs roared and fell towards Cao Jun's head.  It exploded with another bang, and in an instant there was flames flying everywhere, which looked extremely spectacular from a distance

    Under the control of five defenders, the huge city-defending crossbow's thick-armed bowstring "creeped" and gradually opened, and then the city-defending soldier suddenly pulled the trigger.  Huge arrows as thick as spears roared and shot at Cao Jun.

    Whether it is the oil bombs thrown by the catapults or the giant crossbows fired by the city guard crossbows, they are not very lethal to ordinary soldiers, and they are not much more powerful than small crossbows.  But the momentum is indeed huge, and it is really good to scare people.

    Some of the officers and soldiers of Cao's army who were charging forward were hit by oil bombs, and their bodies were on fire. They burned and soon became incendiaries.  Although there were not many people on fire, only a dozen or so, the disaster brought to Cao's army by just a dozen people on fire was huge.  These firemen screamed in agony while dancing and running around with their bodies covered in flames among the dense Cao army.

    Everyone was running away. Who dared to let these burning people run into them? Even hearing their screams was terrifying enough The originally tight formation was rushed by these burning people, and it suddenly became chaotic.  .

    Some people were pierced by powerful crossbows, leaving a thick bloody hole in their bodies. Their intestines were dragged out, and the blood flowed loudly, but the people were still running forward.  Like a zombie at the end of the day, it is extremely scary, as scary as it is

    Oil bombs roared, giant crossbows roared

     It¡¯s terrible!  For these elites of Cao's army, death in battle is not terrible. What is more terrible than death is the fear in their hearts.  After several rounds of oil bombs and giant crossbows fell on the city, the two groups of Cao's troops collapsed, turned around and fled to the rear.

    Liu Bei watched from a distance, his face so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. He could not have imagined that such a result would occur.

    He is a ruthless man, a ruthless man who is willing to abandon his wife and children for the sake of the country and the country. He is as ruthless to his enemies as he is to his own people.  Ruthless people have ruthless methods, and Liu Bei could not let this rare opportunity to stand out be ruined like this.

    "Those who retreat will be killed!" Liu Bei shouted with a dark face, holding both swords high in his hands.

    A thousand soldiers who had followed Liu Bei for many years acted as supervisors and formed an attack formation in front of Liu Bei.  The sword and shield soldier crouched half-crouched, raising his shield in front of him and holding his sword.  The archers drew their bows and arrows from behind, pointing directly at their own people who were running over.

    "I don't know if they didn't hear Liu Bei's cry, or if the fear in their hearts exceeded their awe of the military order, the two groups of panicked Cao Jun rushed straight towards the supervising team, getting closer and closer.

    "Those who retreat will be beheaded!" Liu Bei roared again, saying the word "cut" loudly and longly.

    Facing the eyeing supervisory team and listening to Liu Bei's roar, most of the rebels calmed down.  Some stopped and looked around; some turned around and walked towards Sheyuan Pass; others rushed forward still dizzy.

    "Shoot!" Not killing was not enough to establish authority, so Liu Bei resolutely waved the sword in his hand.

    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" The soldiers brought by Liu Bei shot the arrows in their hands.

    More than a hundred Cao Jun soldiers screamed and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.  There are also a few burning people covered in fire

    Liu Bei used the range of the bow and arrow in front of him as the boundary and drew a gap, a death line. Anyone who crosses the boundary will die!

    Far more Cao soldiers died in Liu Bei's hands than those who died under oil bombs and giant crossbows on the city wall.

    Liu Bei's cold and bloody methods finally frightened these terrified Cao soldiers.  There was a wolf in front of them and a tiger behind them. Unable to do so, these courageous Cao soldiers rushed towards the city wall at the risk of being burned into burning men and being pierced by giant crossbows.

    "Follow me!" At this time, Guan Yu had already galloped in front of the rebel army and shouted loudly.

    Guan Yu took the lead and led the helpless Cao army to rush towards Shenyuan Pass.  As the saying goes, a soldier's courage depends on his courage. With Guan Yu's leading role, Cao Jun finally regained some courage and gradually returned to normal.  These Cao soldiers were originally the elite force of Cao's army and were well-trained. They were caught off guard by oil bombs and giant crossbows, and they panicked for a moment.

    Under the leadership of Guan Yu, the tiger general, Cao Jun crossed the line of oil bombs and giant crossbows at the fastest speed.  Although several more people were ignited by oil bombs and several others were pierced by giant crossbows, Cao Jun was mentally prepared this time and did not cause chaos again.

    "Sword and shield soldiers cover, archers stand in formation!" When they were sixty steps away from the city, Guan Yu ordered the remaining soldiers to stop.

    After all this back and forth, there were less than 800 people left in Cao Cao's army of 1,000, and most of them died at the hands of Liu Bei's team.

    By this time, there were only a hundred or so archers left in the first batch of 300 archers.  The second wave of 800 Cao soldiers merged with the first group of more than 100 archers, and laid out a tight arrow formation sixty steps away from the city wall.

    Guan Yu finally saw that although the catapults and defensive crossbows on the top of the city were terrifying and powerful, they also had fatal weaknesses.  Their firing speed is slow, their range is long, and they can only be fired at fixed points.  For this array of arrows at close range, these big guys are just decorations and pose no threat at all.

    "Shoot!" Guan Yu took a long breath, waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and ordered loudly.

    When the two groups of men and horses merged, the number of archers exceeded 500, and they were covered by sword and shield men. The advantage was obvious.  Following Guan Yu's order, more than 500 sharp arrows were shot towards the top of the city.

    Originally, it was just suppression and counter-suppression. There were an equal number of archers on the city below, and the city was protected by walls. The archers on the city had an absolute advantage.  But at this moment, the number of archers below the city was almost twice that at the top of the city, and the dense rain of arrows below the city almost covered the entire city head.

    "Ah, ah, ah" screams of "Ah, ah, ah" kept coming from the top of the city, and the arrows shot down from the top of the city were obviously much sparser.

    There were arrows everywhere on the top of Shenyuan Pass. Not only the archers suffered serious casualties, but also the sword and shield soldiers suffered many casualties.

    "Good shot! Keep shooting!" Guan Yu felt refreshed when he saw it, as if he had found a way to overcome the barrier.

    This time, Guan Yu was not in a hurry to climb the wall and fight.  He wanted to take advantage of the number of archers to attack all the defenders on the city.Kill them, then attack with the whole army, and seize the city in one fell swoop.

    At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the situation above and below the city was clearly visible. Liu Bei could also clearly see the majestic Guan Yu arrow array.

    "Okay! Well done, second brother!" Liu Bei, who was not far away, saw him and shouted excitedly.

    "All the archers came forward and wiped out all the defenders on the city!"

    Suddenly, Liu Bei was ambitious. With a wave of his swords, he mobilized the last thousand Cao Cao troops.  The only ones left by his side were a thousand of his own soldiers.
