Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 69 Zhang Miao is captured
The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and Zhang Miao felt fine again.

With 3,000 private troops under his command, although their combat effectiveness was far inferior to the previous 5,000 personal troops, Zhang Miao believed that defending the city would have no problem.

After all, defending the city and fighting outside the city are not difficult.

At the same time, Ji Qiu had no siege equipment.

All this determined that Ji Qiu would not be able to capture Chenliu City in a short period of time.

As long as Ji Qiu fails to capture Chenliu City in a short period of time, he can report to the Situ Mansion in time and accuse Ji Qiu of treason.

Then let the court send out an army to quell the rebellion, and use the court's hand to eliminate Ji Qiu!

As soon as he thought of this, the depression in Zhang Miao's heart finally eased a little.

Looking at Ji Qiu's soldiers walking around outside the city, still cleaning up the battlefield, he even had the mood to tease his subordinates, "This Ji Qiu is indeed a foolhardy fellow of humble origins. He doesn't understand the principle of swiftness in battle.

If I were to deploy troops, I would definitely attack the city as soon as I defeat my own army. This way I wouldn't have time to mobilize troops and could quickly capture Chenliu City.

However, he delayed time and missed the opportunity to fight. In order to gain a little profit, he chose to clean up the battlefield first.

It seems that he gained some benefits, but he lost his life and property.

It's really like losing sight of the main goal and pursuing the trivial, eating sesame seeds and losing watermelons!"

"My lord, what you said makes sense!"

"My lord, that's exactly what you said!"

"How can Ji Qiu be a match for the lord?"

Several retainers flattered Zhang Miao, as if they had completely forgotten that they had just suffered a great defeat.

What they didn't know was that while they were feeling proud of themselves, Wei Yan had already led 500 Wei Wuzu to capture the armory, granary, prefectural office and other important places in Chenliu City.

It’s just that due to time and journey, no news has been received yet.

So, they are having their last carnival before the end of the world!
However, they did not receive the news, but Ji Qiu had already received the news.

After all, Wei Yan carried a walkie-talkie with him, so he could contact Ji Qiu directly.

So as early as the moment Wei Yan attacked Chenliu City, he sent a message to Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu was cleaning the battlefield so calmly because he had received the message from Wei Yan.

After all, Chenliu City is already in his pocket.

Why waste these gains outside the city?
Saving is a virtue.

Even a rich man like him must know how to inherit and carry forward.

However, after Wei Yan brought the news that he had captured the armory, granary, and prefectural government office, Ji Qiu felt that there was no need for him to wait any longer.

"Wei Yan has already captured the armory, granary, and governor's residence in Chenliu City, and is now about to attack the west city district.

We've almost cleaned up the battlefield. It looks like it's time to give Zhang Miao the final blow!" Ji Qiu said to Gao Shun, Xi Zhong, and Dian Wei.

The three of them said in unison: "Yes!"

Then Ji Qiu led the three of them out of the tent and came to the west wall of Chenliu City.

At this time, a hundred meters outside the west city wall, 1,500 halberd soldiers had already lined up.

However, the weapons these halberd warriors are holding now are not halberds, but strong bows!

The strong bows in their hands are all made of ninth-grade dragon steel, using modern technology. They can shoot three-stone heavy arrows and can penetrate ordinary armor from a hundred meters away.

So Ji Qiu gave it the name Three Stone Heavy Bow!
The Halberd Soldiers do not have any secret techniques for archery-related military formations, but archery is one of their training subjects.

When the Yuan family’s military camp was captured, among the supplies seized were a large number of Youyun bows.

That was the weapon that the Yuan family equipped for the halberd warriors.

Therefore, the Halberd Warrior has the ability to fight at a distance.

It’s just that the halberd warrior will not be equipped with a halberd and a bow at the same time.

Instead, choose different weapons and equipment according to the situation.

When Han Meng led the halberd warriors from the Yuan family camp to enter the city to eliminate Ji Qiu, he chose to equip them with halberds. Later, Ji Qiu also chose to equip his halberd warriors with halberds in all his subsequent battles.

Therefore, this is the first time that a halberdier is equipped with a strong bow.

This is the Halberd Warrior's strong bow ability, his first appearance on the battlefield!

Ji Qiu glanced at Gao Shun and nodded slightly to him, indicating that he could start.

Gao Shun then stepped forward, raised his arms high, and shouted, "Ready—"

"Wow!"

All the halberd warriors drew out a heavy steel arrow from their quivers in unison and placed it on the three-stone heavy bow.

Then raise the three-stone heavy bow at a 45° angle upwards towards the city wall.

"Release!" Gao Shun shouted and swung his arm down heavily.

collapse!
collapse!
collapse!
In an instant, the sharp arrow left the bowstring, making a sharp whistling sound, and swooped down towards the city wall like a flock of black crows covering the sky and the sun.

The sky was instantly covered by a dense rain of arrows, and the sunlight was blocked by the surging tide of arrows, casting a shadow of death.

The rain of arrows poured down mercilessly on the private armies of the aristocratic families on the city walls like a steel curtain.

The private armies of the aristocratic families looked at the sky in horror and tried to raise their shields to block the rain of arrows that covered the sky, but it was all in vain.

The heavy arrows, with great impact force, penetrated the shield, tore through the armor, and pierced into the flesh, making a dull sound.

They screamed in pain, and some were shot in the throat by sharp arrows and died on the spot.

Some were pierced through the chest, and blood spurted out like fountains.

Others were shot in the legs or arms and fell to the ground, struggling and groaning in pain.

Just one wave of arrows caused heavy damage to the defenders on the city wall.

For a moment, blood and flesh were flying all over the city wall, and broken limbs were everywhere.

The defense line was crumbling under this terrifying all-encompassing attack, and morale dropped to freezing point.

But Gao Shun did not give them any chance to breathe.

Continue to release arrows, wave after wave.

Every round of arrow rain was accompanied by screams and death.

The private armies of the aristocratic families on the city walls fell down in large numbers like harvested wheat.

Blood flowed down the bricks and stones of the city wall, gathering into a dark red pool of blood at the base of the wall. The scene was extremely tragic.

Three minutes later, the rain of arrows stopped.

In just three minutes, the halberd warriors fired a full ten rounds of arrows.

These ten rounds of arrow rain left the city wall riddled with holes, and there was complete silence.

Those private armies of the aristocratic families who were showing off their might just now have basically turned into corpses.

As for Zhang Miao on the city wall, whether he is still alive is also a question mark.

Although Ji Qiu specifically instructed Gao Shun to avoid the area where Zhang Miao was as much as possible.

But there are no eyes on the battlefield. If he is really unlucky and gets shot to death, that is normal.

Gao Shun asked Ji Qiu, "My lord, the enemy is no longer capable of fighting. Should we attack the city now?"

"Let's attack the city." Ji Qiu nodded.

So Gao Shun ordered the drums to be beaten.

But just as the drums sounded and the halberd soldiers were about to charge, a man appeared on the top of the city wall.

He held a ring-handled knife in his right hand and a trembling, pale-faced guy in his left hand, then showed a brilliant smile to the people outside the city.

He shouted, "My lord, I have captured Zhang Miao! I shall be credited with the greatest achievement in this battle!"
