The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Those riders had no time to react, and the arrows had already reached their eyes.

It was too late to dodge, the thick arrow directly knocked them off the horse and hit the ground heavily.

Others shot directly at the crotch of the horse, and even the heavy horse couldn't bear the power of the arrow.

With a bang, he fell to the ground and died under the impact of the arrow, pressing the rider on his back heavily under him.

While the divine arm crossbow was working, the archers under Ma Chao also came to the front of the formation and began to counterattack.

Ma Chaojun's bow and arrow are different from Cao Jun's.

He was improved by Liu Ke, no matter in terms of power, range or accuracy, it is far beyond the comparison of ordinary bows and arrows.

Therefore, after the bows and arrows were shot, a group of Cao Jun's archers were harvested immediately.

After several rounds of volleys, Cao Jun suffered heavy losses, and a large number of archers were killed.

Seeing the opponent's strength, Cao Jun's archers quickly backed away in fright.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's bow and arrow shot far beyond his own, Cao Jun retreated a lot, and still hit the arrow, but he couldn't attack the opponent.

Seeing this, Zhang on the top of the city quickly summoned Jin to withdraw his troops and summoned the archers back to the city.

The value of archers is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain.

After leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Cao Jun's archers could only return to the city in embarrassment.

Without their influence, Ma Chaojun speeded up his road repairs again.

However, when they were two miles away from the city wall, a trench with a width of three feet appeared in front of everyone.

There is also a lot of water accumulated here, which is built into a moat.

Moreover, the water quality in it is turbid, and it is not known how deep it is.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to completely fill it. We can only choose a few relatively flat places to build temporary bridges.

Ma Chaojun has not been idle for the past few days, and has been building boulder return guns.

Some of the remaining wood was transformed into a bridge deck and temporarily laid on top of the trench.

The carrying capacity of the temporary bridge deck is limited, and it is no problem for ordinary soldiers to pass through.

But heavy siege equipment was greatly restricted.

As soon as the boulder return gun was pushed onto the bridge deck, the planks creaked and creaked instantly, as if it might collapse at any time.

As a result, we can only give up and find another way.

I saw the sergeants each carrying sackcloth sandbags and throwing them into the trench in turn, trying to fill in a path.

Zhang Ji has been waiting and watching from the top of the city, seeing that the other party has found a countermeasure so quickly, he is very anxious.

But this distance is beyond his reach.

Just sent archers to harass, and also suffered heavy losses, now I can only watch helplessly as the opponent cracks.

Zhang Ji thought to himself, if the main general Xiahou Dun was there, he would definitely come up with a countermeasure to prevent the opponent from moving forward.

He would even personally lead soldiers out of the city to meet them, but he didn't have the ability, let alone the power.

For the current plan, we can only do our best to hold on to the city, and all decisions must be made after Xiahou Dun returns.

Zhang Ji even thought that if Xiahoudun came back, he happened to have a pincer attack with him from inside and outside, and he would be able to force the enemy back immediately.

But he didn't know that Xiahou Dun, who had stepped into the trap, also suffered heavy losses, so how could he have the ability to flank him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ma Chaojun filled in several solid roads in the trenches outside the city, finally allowing the boulder return artillery to pass.

Holding such an amazingly powerful siege weapon, Ma Chao is very confident that he can break through the city overnight.

But for him, breaking the city is actually only in the second place.

His main goal was to deal with Xiahou Dun who had returned.

Block Xiahou Dun's return here and take him down in one fell swoop.

At that time, there is no need for Ma Chao, just tie Xiahou Dun to the city.

The city naturally surrendered and opened the door to offer the city.

However, before that, Ma Chao was going to teach the defenders in the city a painful lesson, so that they would know that he was invincible.

So, after the road outside the city was repaired, he pushed five boulders back to the cannon, and slowly came to a distance of one mile outside the city.

"emission!"

With an order, five boulders were fired from the boulder return gun, and flew towards the city wall of Linjing with a roar.

Seeing such a majestic trebuchet, Zhang Ji's expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

In a blink of an eye, the huge boulder had arrived and smashed unceremoniously onto the city wall.

The huge power, the city wall couldn't support it at all, and it was pitted by boulders.

One of the boulders just flew over the top of the city, not only smashing the guard wall directly to pieces.
