Chapter 108 Fierce battle outside the city(1/2)

Liu An has now accumulated a total of 192 contribution points. When the war lottery was unlocked, he drew five more ten consecutive draws.

This time, we were very lucky. Every time the ten companies drew war horses, one of the ten companies even won two war horses. With the bonus from the ten companies, Liu An had another 550 war horses in his inventory.

You can continue to increase the number of cavalry later.

When fighting against Xianbei, it would be fine if it was a street fight, but in the open field, infantry would be of little use, so cavalry could only be used to defeat cavalry.

It is worth mentioning that the four draws this time were finally put to use after persistent efforts.

After drawing the prize, Liu An clearly felt a change in the mood of the soldiers and heroes around him.

Facing the fierce invading Xianbei army, Liu An's soldiers were better off, after all, they had undergone rigorous training.

But the village heroes looked nervous and fearful, and Xianbei's evil reputation left an indelible impression in their hearts.

However, after continued morale boosts, Liu An found that the fear on their faces was replaced by hatred.

Looking at the Xianbei army in the distance, where only human figures could be seen outside the city, rushing into their houses, the village heroes seemed to think of their relatives and friends who died under their hands in the past years, and how the food they had harvested for a year was lost to them.

Getting something for nothing, I thought of my home that was swept away like locusts passing by, a scene of ruin...

All these things filled the hearts of the village heroes with hatred for Xianbei, and they wished they could eat its flesh and drink its blood.

Zhang Liao was near Liu An and was responsible for the positioning of a medium-sized dump truck.

During the recent period, in addition to familiarizing himself with Liu An's military art, he also painstakingly studied the structure and usage of medium-sized throwing carts, and now he was able to accurately locate the range of stone bombs.

Being affected by the system, his already resentful eyes became filled with burning murderous intent, and he wished he could go on the field and kill the Xianbei soldiers in person.

Seeing this, Liu An was relieved, and then he saw a Xianbei army rushing into his manor outside the city.

However, it didn't take long for him to come out of it. Liu An's manor had already been emptied out. Not to mention food, there wasn't even a single thing of any value.

There was no way he could leave anything to the Xianbei people!

After another quarter of an hour or so, the Xianbei people finally gave up the search outside the city, gathered their troops, and slowly came to Jiuyuan City a mile away to watch.

At this distance, medium-sized carts are completely useless. The opponent has no siege equipment and cannot easily get close to the city wall.

Liu An pondered for a moment, then ordered the city gate to be opened, and ordered Zhang Fei and Lu Bu to line up outside the city gate.

The herald received Liu An's order and ran down the city wall to convey the order.

Crunch~~Jiuyuan City Gate slowly opened.

The Xianbei army, which had decided to retreat and plan to look elsewhere, or wait for the arrival of subsequent military supplies to build siege equipment, stopped again when they saw the city gates wide open.

Then two teams of cavalry emerged from the city gate and formed a fighting formation outside the city gate.

The leader of Xianbei was a burly bearded man named Bart. He stroked his thick beard and hesitated between attacking and retreating.

Since going south, he has felt prying eyes many times, but he has never found anyone.

Now, combined with the empty residences outside Jiuyuan City and the obviously well-prepared scene at the top of Jiuyuan City, Bart had reason to suspect that the prying eyes he felt at that time must be high-level scouts sent by the other party.

As for the 200 team he sent out to investigate last time, there has been no news so far, and most of them have been killed.

From this point of view, the Han Dynasty court must have sent extraordinary people to garrison Jiuyuan this time!

However, such a person must understand that the advantage of the Han army is that it has a city wall to rely on, and defending according to the city is the best strategy.

At this time, they actually opened the city gate and went out to form an array. This move looked like a fraud.

Liu An couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that the city gate was wide open and the enemy troops were still unmoved. He didn't expect that the Xianbei people still had brains.

So Liu An ordered Lu Bu to fight with the enemy general again, and then pretended to be defeated.

Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were both wearing the Jinluan armor drawn by Liu An's system at this time. In terms of the specifications of the armor, they were more like the highest officers of Jiuyuan.

Lu Bu went to lure the enemy, but he didn't believe that the enemy would not be fooled.

Moreover, Lu Bu's whole body is hidden in armor, and his own strength is very high. He is not afraid of the opponent's hidden arrows, nor is he afraid of falling into the enemy's formation, and he is completely able to escape.

After the order was passed on, Lu Bu changed weapons with the soldiers beside him, handed over the Overlord's bow and arrows to him for safekeeping, and then drove his horses slowly away from the formation.

Arriving thirty steps away from the enemy, Lu Bu raised the spear in his hand, pointed it at the enemy, and shouted arrogantly:

"You guys, are there any turtles who dare to step forward to fight?"

Lu Bu's voice was like a loud bell, and his words reached the enemy formation, causing a commotion immediately.

The fighting style of the Xianbei people was no worse than that of Youbingbian County. How could a group of aggressive men withstand Lu Bu's provocation?

At that moment, dozens of people asked for a fight, hoping to kill the arrogant rats in front of the formation.

Bart was also very angry. As the bravest warrior in the tribe, he also had the biggest temper in the tribe.

After suppressing everyone's calls for battle, Bart raised his whip and went out to fight Lu Bu himself.

In addition to killing the enemy general who insulted him on the spot, he also took a fancy to the glittering and gorgeous armor worn by the opponent.

None of his warriors were more powerful than him. He sent them out to fight, but he was worried. Bart was about to kill this general, so he took off his armor and wore it on himself.

Lu Bu saw that it was the leader of the opponent who was personally participating in the battle, so he had the idea of ​​​​killing him for meritorious service.

After hesitating for a moment, the thought of obeying Liu An's order outweighed the desire to perform meritorious service. He waved his riding whip and rode towards the opponent.

After fighting with the opponent for a while, Lu Bu roughly knew the opponent's level of force, which was similar to Liu Bei's.

He can lower his strength, pretend to be inferior to his opponent, and be suppressed after seven or eight rounds of fighting.

After making a posture of using all his strength to deflect the opponent's sword, Lu Bu turned his horse's head and drove the horse to escape towards the main formation.

When Bart saw that the other party was about to run away, how could he let him go? He waved his riding crop and chased after Lu Bu.

However, it was then that he discovered that the speed of the opponent's horse was as fast as his own, and his attempt to catch up with the opponent by virtue of horse speed failed.

Seeing that the distance between the opponent and his own formation was getting closer and closer, Bart had no choice but to stop, raised his sword in his hand high, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Follow me into the city!"

After seeing his own army moving, Bart rode towards them again.

After a few breaths, Lu Bu returned to the formation, exchanged weapons with his soldiers, and retrieved the Overlord's bow and arrows.

At this time, Bart was only about fifty meters away from the city gate, and his soldiers happened to be within the attack range of the medium-sized cart.

Liu An seized the opportunity and ordered: "Launch!"

The flag soldiers on one side waved the flag to convey the order.

Suddenly, with a banging sound, stone bullets were shot out, and the overwhelming stone bullets hit the Xianbei army that was charging towards Jiuyuan City.

The Xianbei soldiers who were driving their horses wildly saw unknown objects flying out of the city wall in front of them and hitting them.

When they raised their heads and looked up, they saw countless stone bullets falling from the sky. They were riding on horses, and it was too late to turn their horses. They were about to wave their whips and rush over, but they were hit by stone bullets at the next moment, and they were instantly turned upside down.

There were also some knowledgeable people among them. After seeing the densely packed stone bullets, they knew that they were probably going to die here this time, and their faces instantly turned ashen.

Throwing carts is not only very lethal, but also has a serious impact on morale. This time the stone bombs are thrown, chaos in the Xianbei army is a foregone conclusion. Anyone who knows the enemy will not let go of such a good opportunity.

The Xianbei army mainly relied on strong cavalry to fight. When it comes to military discipline and military regulations, it can be said that they are lacking compared to the Han Dynasty.

Such a disorganized army, faced with a sudden attack of stone bullets and chaos, would have any ability to fight.

It would be fine if the leader could organize a retreat in time, but if not, failure would be a sure outcome.

On the north wall, Liu An placed a total of forty medium-sized throwing trucks.

After a round of lasing, Liu An visually measured the number of people who fell on the opponent's side, and found that there were at least two to three hundred people.

Taking advantage of the time when the cart was thrown to load stone bombs, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu immediately ordered the firing of repeated crossbows.

One thousand four hundred cavalry, each equipped with a spear and a repeating crossbow, Liu An also divided 650 horse armor equally among Lu Bu and Zhang Fei's troops.

At this time, the cavalry in front were all wearing heavy vests when sitting down, so they were not afraid of stray arrows.

Following Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's orders, the cavalry who had been prepared fired their crossbows one after another.

Swish, swish, swish - Bart's war horse rushing at the front was hit by a crossbow, and when the war horse neighed, it was flipped off its back.

Later, the soldiers who had entered the range of the repeating crossbow were hit by the repeating crossbow, and hundreds of them were killed and injured in an instant.

Bart was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he hated himself for being unable to calm down just now.

It's so stupid to go up to someone after being provoked for a few words, and then take advantage of Cai and want to swallow the opponent's armor. How stupid!

But the most important thing is not here. This is not the first time that he has been provoked, nor is it the first time that he has taken advantage of money. What really confused him was the opponent's preparation.

He guessed that the other party might be cheating, but he never expected that the other party could come up with such a sharp weapon, including throwing carts and a large number of repeating crossbows.

With so many combat weapons, how rich is the other side? Or is the Han Dynasty preparing to launch another war on the grassland?

Bart couldn't care about that much for the time being. He had to return to his own formation as soon as possible and then retreat with his army first.

Now that the army is in chaos, but the officers and soldiers have not left the city gate, how can we fight? If we continue, I am afraid we will be killed here.

Bart rolled and crawled, taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's reloading and reloading the crossbow, and finally ran to the front of the formation. When he was about to ask one of his men to dismount and hand the horse over to him, whoosh——

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air came from behind. Bart turned his head in fear, and his eyebrows met the arrow that was flying across dozens of meters.

Lu Bu slowly put away his Overlord Bow, hung it on his back, and looked at Zhang Fei not far away, with a proud look on his face.

Zhang Fei kept watching the enemy, and when he saw that the enemy leader was suddenly shot in the head by a bow and arrow and died, he knew that it was Lu Bu who had taken action.

Turning his head to look, he happened to see Lu Bu's proud face, and Zhang Fei screamed angrily.
