Chapter six hundred and fiftieth IX escape

Seeing that these people finally became honest, Dong Zhuo was relieved. As long as there was someone there, he would not worry that no one would carry the supplies in his team. At the same time, Dong Zhuo knew that as long as he traveled another twenty or thirty kilometers, he would be able to complete this official road near the river, and he would not have to pay attention to this damn fleet.

He saw huge rocks falling from the air, smashing the soldiers or people in his team one by one, and even some of the huge rocks hit the baggage cart, and immediately smashed the cart into pieces. The gold, silver and treasures inside suddenly rolled out, causing the looting of soldiers and people around him, which made him even more hatred for Yang Tian. If Yang Tian was by his side at this time, he would never mind killing the other party with a knife, and then get a bowl of blood to drink.

However, the next scene made him not bothered to be angry with Yang Tian. When he saw the fleet slowly leaning towards the shore, Dong Zhuozheng thought that Yang Tian felt that the stone catapult attack was not effective and was preparing to go ashore to fight! He was still secretly happy in his heart, but when the fleet approached about two hundred meters, the fleet stopped.

At this time, Dong Zhuo could clearly see the thick side of the other party's ship and the catapults standing on the deck.

Suddenly, hundreds of people emerged from the side of each ship, holding bows and arrows and shooting towards the shore. A rain of arrows suddenly formed, falling into the crowd on the official road. The dense crowd didn't need to aim at it, and almost every arrow could hit the target.

In this moment, Dong Zhuo's team paid at least tens of thousands of lives for it, and the injured were more than 20,000.

The attack speed of the bow and arrow is not comparable to that of the stone caster. Basically, it takes nearly one minute to complete a round of attacks, but the bow and arrow only takes less than ten seconds. Therefore, after the first round of arrow rain attacks, Dong Zhuo's army had not yet come back to their senses, and the second round of attacks had already landed on their heads.

Lu Bu reacted first, and did not care that he had not received Dong Zhuo's order. After estimating the approximate distance from the river bank of the other ship, he immediately ordered: "Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, order your soldiers to pick up bows and arrows to fight back. Heavy shield soldiers. Protect them forward, and the rest of the troops should speed up the evacuation."

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses and did not express any dissatisfaction with Lu Bu's command over power. After all, his life was already threatened at this time. How dare he be unhappy with Lu Bu? If the other party just gave up and quit, he might have caught him blindly.

"Fengxian! Protect me from here quickly!" Dong Zhuo looked at the arrows that kept shooting, and didn't want to stay here for a long time for a minute, and said to Lu Bu in fear. At the same time, he also got off the carriage. After all, in such a chaotic environment, if he still wanted to ride in the carriage, it would be difficult to leave here quickly. Therefore, after calling a war horse, he climbed up quickly.

Lu Bu did not object. On the one hand, he asked someone to convey his orders. While standing on Dong Zhuo's right, he blocked the arrows that kept shooting and escorted Dong Zhuo to run west quickly. Only Li Gui and others were left to command the army to resist the attack of the Baiyun City fleet on site and protect the remaining troops and the people from evacuating.

The elite army closest to Lu Bu received the first order. Whether it was the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry or the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they all set off their own war horses, took out their bows and arrows, and under the protection of a row of heavy shield soldiers, they began to shoot at the ships on the river. However, although these cavalry were quite proficient in shooting skills, a large part of the archery skills were only advanced. Moreover, the bows used by more people were only divine arm bows used by seventh-level soldiers, and the range could not reach 200 meters. After all, they were strictly only heavy cavalry, not archers.

The Lieyang Legion and Jinfan Navy under Yang Tian are all first-class archery masters, and they are all eighth-level high-level troops, and there are even a few ninth-level soldiers. Their archery skills are far from comparable to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

In addition, Yang Tian's soldiers have thick ship side protection. These ship side made of thousand-year-old cold iron wood are half stronger than ordinary 100-refined steel. How could the opponent's arrows shoot through? What's more, there are a large number of stone casters on the Baiyun City Fleet to help. Therefore, although Dong Zhuo's army organized an army to fight back, it was still completely at a disadvantage.

Dong Zhuo's team's formation stretched for nearly 100 kilometers, and most of the places were ordinary people, and Yang Tian did not attack at all in these places. There was only one place he attacked, that is, where the opponent's army was located.

However, there are many such sections. In order to prevent the people from escaping, Dong Zhuo dispersed a large number of troops into the entire team. Now there are only more than 4 million soldiers on this nearly 100 kilometers of front line, and it is obvious that they are in a hurry to protect all places. Even after the heavy shield soldiers in the front of many places fell, there were no reinforcements, and the archers or other troops behind could only be completely reduced to targets.

Although the distance of 200 meters cannot be said to be a 100-shot attack for the Lieyang Legion or the Jinfan Navy, when it shoots accurately, the arrows formed can accurately hit the target. When all the soldiers in a distance are cleaned up, they stop attacking and then transfer the target to the next official road.

As the battle progressed, the people seemed to find that as long as there was no army around them, they would not be attacked by the other party. Therefore, many of them stopped on the sections where the soldiers had been cleared and stopped moving forward. Some people even turned their hatred eyes to the soldiers around them. They felt that it was because of the existence of these people that they were attacked again and again.

However, these people have long known the gap between themselves and those soldiers, so even if they discover this situation, no one dares to attack the soldiers around them. Otherwise, the current order may be even more chaotic, and Dong Zhuo's army will collapse completely here directly.

No one dared to take action does not mean that this tactic is ineffective. Some soldiers with agility also discovered such loopholes. Some soldiers with low loyalty to Dong Zhuo took off their equipment and turned into ordinary people to hide in the team, thereby avoiding the attacks of arrows flying from the ship.

Especially in the guard army, most of them were just cannon fodder soldiers of about 5th level and did not receive much preferential treatment from Dong Zhuo, and their loyalty to Dong Zhuo was also the lowest. After losing nearly half of the army, the remaining soldiers were shaken, and people kept throwing their weapons and hiding them in the crowd. The people were also happy to see these troops pretend to be the people, because this would also help them escape from danger.
