Crossbow arrows are powerful and can shoot more accurately than bows and arrows. However, crossbow arrows also have their own disadvantages, that is, they shoot slowly and require a longer preparation time after a round of crossbow arrows.

Unprepared, the archers in front of the Jizhou Army suffered heavy casualties. They also did not expect that the powerful crossbowmen on the opposite side had such a long range.

"Kill!" Guo Yuan ordered loudly. He naturally understood the weakness of the crossbowmen. In his opinion, although the losses were greater now, as long as they got close to the Youzhou Army, the rest was not theirs.

After all, these crossbowmen could not defeat the Jizhou army with the long swords in their hands.

The imagination was beautiful, but the reality made Guo Yuan stunned. The crossbow arrows from the Youzhou Army seemed to be tired. Anyway, in the eyes of the Jizhou Army officers and soldiers, the crossbow arrows were clearly endless. Although there were only two thousand strong crossbowmen,

The Jizhou Army felt like they were facing thousands of troops.

Many soldiers of the Jizhou Army did not even dare to step forward. They knew that once they crossed the invisible line, they might die. Many of their soldiers died in this way on the battlefield.

Chen Dao gave an order, and the Xianbei cavalry, which was waiting on both sides, was dispatched. The rumbling horses charged at the Jizhou army.

There are also 300 cavalry in Lunu City, but the strength of these 300 cavalry is much inferior to that of the Xianbei cavalry. The Xianbei people defeated Lu Bu, which does not mean that the cavalry of the Jizhou Army can easily defeat them.

The Xianbei cavalry regained their former self-confidence with the Jizhou Army. Many cavalry even shouted excitedly. They felt aggrieved when they fought with Lu Bu's army. They even once doubted the brave Xianbei on the grassland.

People have become weak. Now it seems that it is not that the Xianbei people have become weak, but that the Bingzhou Army and the Youzhou Army are too strong.

For strong men like Lu Bu, the Xianbei people were both in awe and fearful.

The Xianbei cavalry fought against the Jizhou cavalry who could only parry, while Chen Dao led his crossbowmen to slowly advance forward.

The strong crossbowmen came forward, causing quite a stir in the Jizhou Army. When many soldiers of the Jizhou Army saw the strong crossbowmen coming forward, their first reaction was not to meet the enemy, but to hide behind them. The densely packed corpses in front of them were already there.

This proved how formidable the enemy's crossbowmen were.

Seeing this, Guo Yuan immediately ordered to withdraw into the city. Although the defenders on the city were intimidating him, Chen Dao did not lead his troops in pursuit.

Hearing the shouts of victory from the Youzhou Army outside the city, Guo Yuan's face became a little gloomy. These soldiers were just the front of the Youzhou Army. Once the Youzhou Army entered Jizhou, what kind of turmoil would be caused.

After this battle, the morale in the city was somewhat low, and many of the defenders looked at the Youzhou Army outside the city with a hint of fear.

Chen Dao still led his soldiers to fight outside the city every day. The vanguard army of 4,000 people made the Jizhou army, which had a larger number, not dare to challenge.

Guo Jia, who was leading most of his troops to Zhongshan, had a smile on his face after learning about the battle situation in Lunu City. Chen Dao's presence greatly affected the morale of the Jizhou army. Once the Youzhou army arrived outside the city,

, will definitely shock the defenders in the city. When the time comes, we only need to use some means, so why worry about not being able to capture Zhongshan.

Once Zhongshan Kingdom is occupied, he will join forces with Julu to eliminate the Jizhou army. The only thing left is to attack Wei County. As for the defenders in Hejian, Guo Jia has no plans to attack them for the time being. What he wants to do is to surround Wei and save Zhao.

The importance of Wei County to Yuan Shao is self-evident. Once Wei County falls into war, will Yuan Shao still be in the mood to attack Huguan? Jizhou is the foundation of Yuan Shao. Once Jizhou is lost, even if Huguan is conquered, Yuan Shao will not be able to conquer it.

Words have also lost their proper meaning.

Five days later, Guo Jia led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Lunu City.

One after another, the Thunderbolt Cart and the Crossbow were set up outside the city at an extremely fast speed. In front of the Thunderbolt Cart, many soldiers were busy.

After Guo Yuan saw the scene outside the city, his mood instantly fell into a trough. Visually, the Youzhou Army's Thunderbolt Chariot was now a full 330 steps away from the city wall, and the Jizhou Army's Thunderbolt Chariot was within range.

After reaching three hundred steps, they have the advantage of the city wall, and it is difficult to compare with the Youzhou Army. After the Youzhou Army has an absolute advantage in the siege, the real nightmare for the defenders in the city begins.

When huge boulders were thrown onto the city wall, it caused quite a stir in the city. However, the Jizhou Army still had some experience in dealing with such offensive attacks by Pili Cha. Many soldiers hid directly without the general's orders.

Behind the parapet.

After the Jizhou Army went through successive wars, there were more new soldiers in the army. These soldiers had only undergone some training and were unfamiliar with the situation on the battlefield. Many defenders saw the huge rocks coming and froze on the city wall.

Although I had heard before that the Thunderbolt Chariot could throw boulders onto the city wall, hearing about it and actually seeing it were two different things.

"Escape!" Guo Yuan ordered hurriedly.

After several boulder attacks, Guo Yuan couldn't sit still. There were more than twenty Pili Chariots in the city, which could hardly pose a threat to the Youzhou Army outside the city. Originally, in Guo Yuan's view, there were more than twenty Pili Chariots in the city.

Enough.

At this time, Guo Yuan's mood was the same as that of Zhang Yan who was far away in Julu City. The bandits under Zhang Yan were defeated under such an offensive by the Jizhou Army. The bandits were bandits after all. They were compared with the formally trained soldiers.

There is a big gap between them. When they gain an advantage, they may be brave soldiers. Once the army shows a defeat, they may flee.

Zhang Yan ordered with a cold face: "Anyone who shrinks from the battle will be killed!"

The bloody killings by Zhang Yan's personal guards gradually stabilized the city wall. He had already received the news that the Youzhou Army was attacking Zhongshan. As long as the Youzhou Army was freed up, they would win this war.

At this time, although the Jizhou Army outside the city had eight thousand people, it would not be possible to defeat Julu in a short time. No matter how fierce the Jizhou Army's boulder offensive was, there would eventually be a time to rest. They had the advantage of the terrain.

, it is definitely a huge threat to the Jizhou Army.

The aristocratic families in the city secretly made many small moves when the Jizhou Army attacked the city. Zhang Yan was well aware of these, and Zhang Yan's methods of dealing with these aristocratic families were extremely bloody.

Copy and cut, under such tyrannical methods, Brother Chen, your family is even more cautious. No one wants to die in Zhang Yan's hands like this.
