Chapter 560 Discussing Countermeasures

Han Meng pushed forward hard, and the ladder fell down immediately.

"not good!"

"General Xu is in danger!"

Seeing the ladder falling rapidly, the tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers outside the city couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. You must know that the city head of Yecheng is seven or eight meters long. If you fall down and hit the ground on your head, you will be instantly The possibility of death is very high.

Although he was in extreme danger, Xu Huang remained calm and calm in the face of danger.

Xu Huang roared, using his arms with all his strength, he turned the ladder over in mid-air. The ladder originally fell and Xu Huang was under the ladder, but Xu Huang used his huge strength to twist the ladder back in mid-air.

Click!

The ladder hit the ground hard, but Xu Huang hit the ladder and was shocked. Then he rolled several times and hit the corpse of a Liangzhou Army before he stopped.

Han Meng was worried that Xu Huang was not dead, so he hurriedly ordered: "Where are the archers? Fire arrows!"

"Protect General Xu!"

Before Liu Ye could give the order, thousands of Liangzhou troops who were close immediately rushed out spontaneously, huddled around Xu Huang, and protected Xu Huang among them.

"Raise your shield!"

Countless iron shields were raised, and thousands of iron shields were combined together to form an indestructible iron curtain. At this time, the arrows from the Jizhou Army on top of the city fell like rain, falling down.

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows were nailed to the shield, and then bounced away. A few arrows shot through the gaps between the shields and hit the unlucky Liangzhou soldiers, making a few muffled sounds from time to time, but Xu Huang was well protected.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye grabbed an iron bow from behind without saying a word, held a wolf tooth arrow in the quiver with two fingers, placed it on the bowstring, and opened the bow to set the arrow.

"Archers, Liangzhou cavalry!" Liu Ye pulled the bowstring and shouted: "Shoot back, let this group of Jizhou soldiers know the power of our Liangzhou army!"

"Cum again!"

The archers of the Liangzhou Army under the city and the dismounted Liangzhou cavalry drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the city head of Yecheng.

Whoosh whoosh!

Liu Ye loosened the bowstring and shot the first arrow first. As if it was a signal, nearly ten thousand arrows were shot out together. The flying arrows were like locusts, and it seemed like a dense fog was coming, covering the entire city head of Yecheng.

"Go back quickly and hide behind the female wall!"

Han Meng's eyes widened and he turned around and ran away in fright.

Just kidding, even if you are fully armed and shot by thousands of arrows, who can survive? Even heavy infantry have to be shot into targets, and anyone who doesn't run is crazy.

Three hundred Euphorbia warriors hurriedly turned around and ran away. As soon as their front legs left the city, they were immediately filled with arrows. Even an elephant was killed on the spot.

Among the three hundred Euphorbia warriors, a dozen were slow-moving, with their backs filled with arrows. The arrows penetrated into their necks, penetrated the armor, and destroyed everything.

With great difficulty, Han Meng led more than 200 Euphorbia soldiers to retreat behind the female wall, but there was still a worried Euphorbia soldier who picked up a shield to protect his head.

It has to be said that the scene of nearly ten thousand archers firing volleys is really a sight to behold. Liu Ye looked at the nearly ten thousand arrows filling the sky, almost covering the entire city, and couldn't help but smile, recalling the missile salvos fired by his motherland.

Under the powerful arrow rain offensive of the Liangzhou Army, the Jizhou Army hid behind the female wall and did not dare to move at all. However, the Liangzhou soldiers were not satisfied and kept pouring arrows at the city. The number was increasing. Liu Ye even doubted whether the city of Ye would be destroyed if they continued shooting like this.

However, after seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, the powerful offensive of the Liangzhou soldiers' archers finally gradually stopped.

The reason is very simple. You must know that archery is an extremely energy-consuming sport. Ordinary people have no energy to shoot three or two arrows after fully drawing the bow. Although the archers of the Liangzhou Army have been trained, their shooting speed is very poor, and they only feel that their arms Sore and numb, unable to lift.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "General, these thousands of arrows fired by our army are enough to frighten the Jizhou army."

Jia Xu also had a smile on his face, and such a big scene as thousands of arrows being fired was rare.

Liu Ye laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, escort General Xu back to the camp and withdraw the troops!"

More than 40,000 Liangzhou troops cheered loudly and raised their arms. Although they failed to capture Yecheng, their morale was greatly boosted by the volley of thousands of arrows. After cheering a few times, they slowly gathered their formation and retreated into the camp.

"Gongming, is it okay?"

After Liu Ye gave the order, he rushed out on his horse, rushed to Xu Huang's side, and asked.

"General, hehe, you are destined to die."

Xu Huang lay on the arms of several soldiers and smiled, but his left hand hung down limply.

Liu Ye frowned, jumped off the horse and walked forward, gently holding Xu Huang's hand. Xu Huang's expression suddenly changed, and he was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he broke his arm when he jumped off the ladder just now.

"Be patient?" Liu Ye warned.

"Um?"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Liu Ye held his left hand and shoulder.

Click!

"Ah! Uh"

Liu Ye raised his hand to lean on. Xu Huang first felt pain, and then found that his left hand was healed.

Xu Huang tried to move his arm. Although it was a little sore, it was no longer a problem.

"Thank you, General!" Xu Huang said excitedly.

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "It's easy to say that Gongming deserves to be rewarded for his desperate efforts to attack the city."

Xu Huang looked ashamed: "Huang has a great responsibility and is about to ask the general to punish him. How can he dare to ask for a reward?"

Liu Ye shook his head and said: "No, Gongming sacrificed his life to attack the city, and the three armies fought bravely. Although Yecheng failed to be captured, the morale of our Liangzhou army was greatly boosted. Although there was no military merit, we had hard work. Shouldn't we be rewarded?"

After saying that, Liu Ye turned around and said loudly: "All the troops have listened and must fight bravely in future battles! Killing the enemy is military merit, but fighting bravely is hard work. Hard work and military merit are all rewarded. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

"Fight for the General!"

"Long live the General!"

The morale of tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers was greatly boosted, and they raised their arms and shouted to express their joy.

Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction and told Xu Huang: "Since Gongming is injured, please go down and rest for now."

"Thank you, General."

Although Xu Huang's left arm was reattached by Liu Ye, he still had many scratches on his body and was almost out of strength, so he returned to the camp under the protection of his personal guards.

Liu Ye, on the other hand, said seriously: "Call all the generals in the army, both civil and military, to discuss the military situation."

After today's fierce attack, more than 40,000 Liangzhou troops have already exhausted a lot of strength, so they have returned to the camp to rest. The main tent of the army is brightly lit, and Liangzhou army's civil and military dignitaries have gathered inside.

Liu Ye sat on the main seat with a majestic look on his face and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, how many casualties did our soldiers have today?"
