A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 221 Two Crossbow Arrows
Amidst the billowing sand and dust, a mass of black figures instantly broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Countless arrows shot at the pass city wall one after another, and the screams rang out on the pass city wall in an instant.

It was the first howl in the morning, and it was also the signal for the beginning of the war.

When the battle was raging at the entrance of the pass, Cao Zhi, who was drinking too much last night, and Cao Zhang, who was sleepy, just ran out of the camp in a hurry.

"what happened!"

Cao Zhang, who hadn't put on his armor yet, was standing in the morning wind and roaring. When a gust of cool wind hit, the hairs all over his body stood up.

"The enemy has attacked the city!"

However, amidst the chaotic voice, Cao Zhang suddenly captured such an extremely critical piece of information.

And it was precisely because of this sentence that Cao Zhang's cold hairs that were originally erect suddenly fell flat at this moment.

This is exciting news, but the excitement here is a bit sad, because it is caused by anger.

"The whole army obeys the order, and all go up to the city wall to defend against the enemy!"

At this time, Cao Zhang couldn't care about anything else, and the others had already attacked the door. If he didn't resist, I'm afraid there would be no way to save this pass.

What's more, at this time, only a few hours had passed since Xun You was sent away.

If the pass is lost because of this, then he will bear all the crimes for it.

Therefore, the cruel reality has reminded him more than once that he must not lose the pass, even if he kills the last person, he must not abandon the city and flee!
Otherwise, I'm afraid he will have no other way to gain Cao Cao's trust.

And the result of this matter will be more terrible than death.

The flames of war were raging fiercely, and the troops of both sides were depleted. Since Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei received Wei Yan's military support, their combat strength has been replenished again.

Although the addition of [-] soldiers could not bring them to their previous state, the result at this time was enough to satisfy them.

In addition, because of the previous battle, the defenders in the pass at this time have not been able to recover at all.

Therefore, when they were sleepy and tired, the sudden siege battle directly caused them to become devastated.

The guards on the city were desperately shooting down the crossbow arrows, but at this time the distance of their crossbow arrows was much closer than their normal level.

Moreover, the strength of the crossbow arrows has also been reduced by a large level.

As a result, just as the crossbow arrows were rushing to gather, they shot at the siege army.

However, more than half of the crossbow arrows were blocked by the shields of the siege army.

Such a weak defensive strength, coupled with the weak city wall, all these conditions indicated to Du Huo that this pass seemed to be within easy reach.

The siege battle lasted for five hours. During these five hours, Du Huo's army had climbed the city wall of the pass twice in succession.

Just because of insufficient follow-up force, those soldiers who climbed the city wall were all killed on the city wall.

However, although the soldiers who climbed the wall were killed, there were not many guards left on the wall.

As a result, when Du Huo launched the third offensive, the siege soldiers boarded the city wall very easily.

On the city wall, the enemy general Cao Zhang was also there, desperately chasing the enemy.

As a result, after several confrontations, those soldiers who climbed the city wall died tragically on the city wall again.

And with the death of the soldiers who climbed the wall, it seemed that this third offensive was about to come to an end.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Zhao Yun took the lead, rushing to the forefront of the siege soldiers.

With a weapon in one hand and a ladder in the other, he climbed up the city wall as if climbing a mountain.

As a result, just above the city wall of the pass, the generals of the two armies finally met amidst the chaotic flames of war.

"Cao Zhang, you are at the end of the road, you can't hurry up and catch him!"

When Zhao Yun saw Cao Zhang again, Cao Zhang's whole body was already stained with blood. If Zhao Yun didn't recognize his shirt, Zhao Yun might not have been able to identify him among the many corpses.

Cao Zhang, who was furious, stretched out his hand and wiped the blood on his face fiercely. Through those bloody eyes, Cao Zhang finally saw the whole picture of Zhao Yun.

"Zhao Yun, did you know that my father is Cao Cao! You actually want me to surrender to you. It's just a fantasy!"

Although he was already in deep defeat, Cao Zhang did not forget his identity at all.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun surrendered to him, the anger in his heart also burst to the highest point.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Zhao Yun like a bull.

Perhaps it was due to the long-term fighting and excessive physical exertion.At this time, Cao Zhang's reaction and speed were much weaker than usual.

As a result, as soon as the two fought against each other, Cao Zhang fell into a disadvantage!
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhang was shot down by Zhao Yun after a few rounds.

And just when Cao Zhang was about to reach out to pick up the weapon, a crossbow arrow flew from nowhere and headed straight for Zhao Yun.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately raised his weapon to block, and with Zhao Yun's current reaction, it is not difficult to block a crossbow arrow.

However, when the crossbow arrow was blocked and shot down by Zhao Yun, the falling crossbow arrow happened to penetrate Cao Zhang's body.

All of this happened so quickly that Cao Cao didn't even expect it at the moment when the crossbow arrow penetrated into his body.

As a result, when he held the weapon tightly in his hand, blood gushed out directly from his mouth.

Afterwards, in the severe pain, Cao Zhang stood up straight with difficulty, and looked at Zhao Yun with an extremely terrified gaze.

"I didn't mean it either!"

Facing Cao Zhang's gaze, Zhao Yun spread his hands helplessly, the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be revealing his innocence to Cao Zhang.

"Whoosh!"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Yun finished his sentence, another crossbow arrow flew up from under the city wall.

And this time, the target of the crossbow arrow was Cao Zhang who had just stood up.

"thump!"

In the next second, the unsurprising fall was clearly presented in front of Zhao Yun.

The crossbow arrow penetrated Cao Zhang's shoulder without hesitation.In normal times, this kind of injury seems not enough to take Cao Zhang's life.

But if Cao Zhang had been seriously injured before this, then his weak body would naturally have no way to support this kind of trauma.

Therefore, when the crossbow arrow shot Cao Zhang down, Cao Zhang who fell to the ground died immediately!
