"Quick, hurry up and reload, get ready to shoot again!"
The ballistae had just been launched, and Li Ke was not in a hurry to see the result. Instead, he roared loudly. The soldiers of the ballistae did not dare to slack off in the slightest. The intense loading process began.
The accuracy of the crossbow is actually poor. When attacking from a long distance, whether it can hit the target basically depends on luck, but it cannot withstand the extremely powerful force. Even if the two armies are separated by a hundred and twenty steps, it can be fired. The kinetic energy of the crossbow arrows was still astonishingly high. Although only one arrow actually hit a Youzhou military tanker, the damage caused was not large, but the scene was extremely terrifying - the three soldiers shot by the crossbow arrows were instantly It was torn into pieces of flesh flying everywhere.
"Don't be confused, hold on steady, keep charging, don't stop!"
Even though the soldiers under Zhang He were all selected veterans, they were still so frightened by the power of the crossbows that the frequency of paddling unconsciously became chaotic, and the sprint speed of many cannons also slowed down. , upon seeing this, Zhang He couldn't help but get angry. He held the gun in his hand, pointed towards the dock, and roared sharply, finally suppressing the commotion of his soldiers.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The distance of one hundred and twenty steps does not seem long. If we were on land, even on foot, we could rush across it in less than twenty breaths. However, it would be difficult for a boat to cross such a distance on water. It was not an easy task. Before the Youzhou Army's cannons could cross the sixty-five-step distance, Cao Jun's six ballistae vehicles had been loaded one after another. There was no need for Li Ke to give another order, and all the ballistae vehicles were aimed. He aimed at Zhang He on the flagship and fired a barrage of shots without any ceremony.
"Dang, Dang!"
Although the six crossbows were fired at the same time, their accuracy was limited. In fact, only two crossbow arrows were directed at Zhang He first. As for the other west branch, they all missed a lot. Even so, the power of these two crossbow arrows was extremely high. It was not something that the human body could withstand. Seeing that Zhang He was in danger, most of the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army were frightened and screamed wildly. However, Zhang He did not show any fear at all. He just raised his hand and attacked immediately. The two shots accurately hit the sides of the two crossbow arrows, and skillfully caused the two crossbow arrows to fly away. As soon as this invincible bravery came out, all the ghosts who had come to their senses were immediately stunned. All the state soldiers cheered like thunder, and their morale immediately reached its peak.
"Archers, get ready, shoot for me!"
Seeing that the ballista failed to perform, Li Ke was inevitably disappointed, but he had no choice but to roar.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Following Li Ke's order, the hundreds of archers in the Near West immediately released their fingers on the strings. In an instant, a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky, roaring and shooting at the Youzhou fleet. After passing by, nearly half of them were targeting Zhang He.
"Here comes the shield!"
Seeing that the archers on the dock were all aiming at him, no matter how confident Zhang He was, he would not dare to take the risk of resisting the rain of arrows. Before Cao Jun's archers could launch their attack, he was already in a hurry. He shouted, and soon he saw three Youzhou Army shield swordsmen holding giant shields rushing onto the bow of the ship. Together with the special large shields, they formed a shield wall.
"Puff, puff..."
Although Cao Jun's arrow rain was dense, it hit the special shield covered with two layers of rawhide. Apart from making bursts of muffled sound, it was impossible to break through the interception of the shield array. A small number of arrows were also thrown away. Zhang He's dancing gun wheel bounced around and flew away in the west.
"Bang!"
Cao Jun's arrow rain never subsided, although it caused a lot of casualties to the Youzhou Army, but in the end it still failed to stop the approach of the Youzhou Army warships. Only a muffled sound was heard, and the lead ship where Zhang He was was heard. His head hit the dock hard.
"Follow me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"
As soon as the bow of the ship hit the pier, Zhang He jumped up, knocked away the shield array at the bow of the ship, jumped onto the shore with a gun and shouted, his arms only waved, and in an instant he shook out countless Gunhua, the whole person rushed forward like a hedgehog. Wherever it passed, those Cao Jun soldiers who had no time to dodge were suddenly picked up into flying trapezes, so fierce that they were like demons from hell. When they saw this, The already high fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army suddenly became even stronger. They jumped onto the shore with a roar, and attacked with all their might. With a small force and a large number, they actually killed Cao's army until they could not stand still. Afterwards, he couldn't retreat.
"Thieves, stop being crazy!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Ke immediately became anxious. He roared, holding the knife in his hand, and then spurred his horse towards Zhang He. He raised the knife in his hand, and with the momentum of the horse, he slashed diagonally. out.
"Aha!"
Although he was walking on foot, Zhang He was not afraid of Li Ke's power at all. He only heard his roar and suddenly fired three shots from the spear in his hand, each one faster and heavier than the last.
"Dang, Dang, pfft!"
Li Ke was just an ordinary general, and his strength was worth only about seventy. Even with the help of war horses, he could not withstand the attacks of peerless generals like Zhang He. He didn't wait for his sword to be released quickly. When it reached the maximum, Zhang He's two consecutive shots hit the tip of the knife. The sword's power was instantly broken, and it was unable to resist Zhang He's third shot. After a muffled sound, Li Ke's thigh was shot out by the tip of the gun. A big hole.
"ah……"
Li Ke couldn't help but howled miserably when the severe pain hit him. He didn't dare to fight anymore. In a panic, he used his good left leg to touch the horse's belly, and he wanted to rush past Zhang He.
"Where to escape, come down here!"
Li Ke's reaction was not slow, but it was a pity that he encountered a fierce general like Zhang He. Before the horse could speed up again, he saw Zhang He had his gun in his left hand, and with a force of his feet, he jumped to the side of the horse. With one move of his free right hand, he grabbed Li Ke's arm, pulled hard, and dragged Li Ke to roll off the horse.
"Pfft!"
Before Li Ke could struggle to get up, a guard who was following Zhang He rushed forward with a knife, waved his hand and gave Li Ke a blow. After a muffled sound, Li Ke's head fell to the ground. On the ground, a large stream of blood spurted out from the break in his neck, dyeing the ground of the dock scarlet red.
As the saying goes, the courage of a soldier depends on the courage of the general. With Li Ke's death, the morale of his soldiers suddenly plummeted. How could they withstand the wild charge of fierce generals like Zhang He? Soon, the army was defeated like a mountain. A containment point appeared, and a large number of Cao soldiers threw away their armor and fled south. The Mingjin Ancient Pier fell into the control of the Youzhou Army...
