Chapter 296

"Understood!"

Ding Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei's army on the opposite side, with neat lineups, high fighting spirit, and strict military discipline.

Even when changing formations, it was orderly, smooth, and natural, with no flaws to take advantage of!

"Strong soldiers!"

Cao Cao wanted to crush Liu Bei even more; otherwise, if Liu Bei were allowed to develop with peace of mind, he really wouldn't be able to stop him.

Ding Yuan Shao looked at the opposite lineup.

"Gao Lan, use the chariot formation to tear open Liu Bei's defense line for me!"

"Understood!"

The drums of the allied forces were loud, and the horns were long.

Nearly a thousand chariots began to accelerate, charging toward Liu Bei's side, dust flying, the earth shaking.

With the sharp knives rotating with the axle, they were cold and chilling, intending to tear open Liu Bei's defense line.

The cavalry followed closely behind.

Large shield soldiers and halberdiers were next!

Crossbowmen also marched forward!

"Roar~~ roar~~"

"Kill!"

Nearly 100, 00 troops swarmed toward Liu Bei's side!

Ding Yuan Shao laughed out loud.

"Liu Bei, no matter how well you can fight, can you kill my 100, 00-strong army!"

The chariots were fast, and the dust raised went straight into the sky, like a rolling flood rushing toward this side.

The drums on Liu Bei's side rang out, and under the order.

The large shield soldiers in the front row retreated backward.

What was revealed were hundreds of small, movable bed crossbows!

Giant arrows had already been loaded on them, about three feet five inches long. Rather than giant arrows, they were more like javelins.

The tail feathers of the giant arrows were three iron feathers, like three long swords, with great lethality.

These bed crossbows were improved by Huang Yueying and Ma Jun with artisans day and night, and then built by working overtime, costing a huge amount of money!

"Shoot!"

Liu Ye temporarily acted as the commander of the bed crossbow soldiers. Following his order, the war drums sounded suddenly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Hundreds of giant arrows whistled toward Ding Yuan Shao's chariots!

"Puff, puff, puff."

The armored warhorses pulling the chariots couldn't withstand the attack of the giant arrows at all, instantly being pierced through and falling to the ground with a bang!

The chariots also lost their balance, and people turned their backs on the horses!

Some giant arrows hit the soldiers on the chariots, blowing them directly ten meters away, blood splashing everywhere!

Just one round of strikes, nearly two hundred chariots were scrapped directly, and the chariots behind crashed into them, causing more chariots to be damaged!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh."

The soldiers quickly installed crossbow arrows, and there were two more rounds of bed crossbow bombardment.

Ding Yuan Shao's chariots, built with heavy money, were basically scrapped by more than half!

Ding Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, his heart bleeding!

"No!"

Xu You hurriedly suggested.

"My lord, it takes time for the bed crossbows to install crossbow arrows; hurry up and send the large shield soldiers to the front to charge Liu Bei's camp!"

"Good, hurry up and give the order!"

The sound of the horn changed.

Ding Yuan Shao's large shield soldiers assembled a tight lineup, blocking in front of all the troops, so as not to be harvested by Liu Bei's Vanguard Camp's strong crossbows.

As long as they rushed over and fought hand-to-hand with Liu Bei's troops, the advantage in numbers could still turn the tide of the battle!

Liu Ye narrowed his eyes.

"Let the thunderbolt carts start attacking!"

"Understood!"

Thunderbolt carts were actually improved versions of movable catapults.

Dozens of thunderbolt carts made in a rush instantly began to show their power!

Ding Yuan Shao's large shield soldiers were lined up tightly, just right as the target for the catapults.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh."

Giant stones and ignited fire oil jars whistled toward Ding Yuan Shao's large shield soldiers, smashing into the dense 647 infantry lineup, causing large-scale casualties!

Some soldiers were ignited by fire oil, screaming miserably, crashing the lineup into disarray!

Other soldiers were also affected; the giant stones that came at any time would take their lives if they were not careful!

The thunderbolt carts poured giant stones toward this side mercilessly!

The bed crossbows had also loaded giant arrows.

Without any hesitation, they shot into Ding Yuan's dense formation again!

The large shields were directly knocked away by the giant arrows, and the soldiers inside spat blood; they couldn't withstand the impact of the giant arrows at all.

Ju Yi's Vanguard Camp took the opportunity to fire crossbow arrows, harvesting the lives of Ding Yuan's soldiers behind the large shields!

Ding Yuan's army was bombarded by bed crossbows and thunderbolt carts, and their formation was already unstable.

At this time, arrows rained down from the opposite side, causing huge casualties!

The soldiers' screams, crimson blood constantly surging, soldiers fell batch by batch!

But at this time, there was no way to retreat, only to continue charging!

Ding Yuan Shao drew his sword.

"Anyone who says retreat today dies!"

"Continue charging for me, kill!"

Ding Yuan's war drums were louder, and tens of thousands of Ding Yuan troops bit the bullet and charged forward!

In fact, the casualties caused by the thunderbolt carts were limited, and the deterrent effect was greater.

The two sides were getting closer and closer.

Ding Yuan's army paid the price of more than 10, 00 casualties and finally killed their way over.

Ju Yi gave an order, the large shields were erected, spears stabbed out from the gaps, ready for close combat!

Shields blocked, spears stabbed out, halberds broke, batch after batch of soldiers fell!

Blood splashed, screams, roars, one after another.

The soldiers on both sides had already killed until their eyes were red.

At this time, there was no retreat, only stepping on corpses to move forward!

The battle situation on Cao's side was also deadlocked, paying the price of several thousand soldiers' lives, and finally approaching Gao Shun's Trap Camp!

The two armies soon fell into hand-to-hand combat with knives and guns!
