I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 324 The sky is falling and the earth is falling
Zhang Yi's troops began to retreat from the city, and the Han troops originally under the city retreated into the city, setting up defenses in the city and dragging the battle into street fighting.

Not only was the battle situation in Beiyuan City changing rapidly, the third Wei army also advanced to the Xincheng area, preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the Xincheng.

At this time, Jiang Wei arrived at the main formation of the Han army.

"General, someone in the army is reporting that the Prime Minister is seriously ill." Wang Si rode over and whispered in Jiang Wei's ear.

Jiang Wei was startled for a moment, then sneered: "Guo Huai is really thorough in everything he does."

"General, this affects morale very much."

"Even if the sky falls, we will still fight this battle!" Jiang Wei's eyes were as bright as fire. He pulled the reins and said in a decisive tone, "As long as I, Jiang Wei, are here! He, Guo Huai, can't even think of breaking through Chencang's defense line!"

After saying that, surrounded by the personal guards, he quickly walked forward.

On both sides were neat military formations, and Jiang Wei was walking quickly in the formation.

"My sons! If the Wei thief dares to attack us again, we will fight the Wei thief to the bitter end today!"

One hundred eight-oxen crossbows were displayed on the left and right wings of the Han army.

When the Wei army's left and right flanks advanced to within one mile, the Han army began to place arrows in the quivers on the eight-niu crossbows.

Both sides have completed their formation.

Like huge waves, it spreads around, as if it wants to shake the Qinling Mountains in the distance.

"Fire arrows!"

Facing the active advancement of the Wei army's left and right wing infantry, the Han army's left and right wing defense lines began to boost morale.

At this time, the sound of the Wei army's war drums came from the front, and the sound shook the heaven and the earth.

Escorting the left and right flanks of the Wei Army were the Wei Army's cavalry units. They had tested the Han Army's flanks before and failed to defeat the Han Army's flank defenses.

Countless dense arrows shone with an icy sheen in the sun, roared sharply, and rushed towards the Wei army.

The Han soldiers standing in front of Chencang City looked solemn, but they still felt as if they were a drop in the ocean.

"..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

Strictly speaking, this kind of arrow is called Jackdaw Arrow. It is an improvement on the Eight Ox Crossbow and can shoot normal arrows.

The Wei army's left and right flanks began to advance steadily, and the sound of neat footsteps overwhelmed the sound of war drums and resounded throughout the fields.

There were shouts from the army that were several miles long on the left and right wings. The shouts alarmed the people in Chencang City and the people on the south bank of the Wei River.

In an instant, two black clouds rose into the sky.

Each quiver can hold approximately thirty to fifty arrows.

When the soldiers saw Jiang Wei's flag and Jiang Wei himself, their morale immediately increased.

At this time, the Wei army at the front had already entered a range of 300 meters.

Following the command, the Eight Ox Crossbow roared angrily, and dense arrows soared into the sky in an instant.

"Fire arrows!"

This arrow is more powerful than an archer's.

They hit the Wei army's formation like a summer rainstorm. The arrows hit the armor and made a harsh sound.

Even if they had iron armor, the Wei army would not be able to withstand such a dense and terrifying attack.

I saw that the area hit by the impact collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. About two to three hundred people died under such a terrible impact.

The Han army quickly started the second round of attacks and issued a loud shout.

The war drums of the four fields dispelled the fear in their hearts, and both the Wei and Han armies became killing machines that were not afraid of life and death.

When the Wei army advanced nearly a hundred meters, a second wave of arrows followed.

Screams continued one after another, and no one knew how many people fell down.

But the Wei army did not retreat, and they quickly approached the Han army.

Soon, the Wei army's counterattack began. The dense rain of arrows was so dark that it blocked the sky and cast a large shadow on the ground. It also returned to the Han army.

The terrible rain of arrows hit the Han army's formation.

Not only did the Han army not panic, but the Jackdaw Arrows, archers, and crossbowmen all began to take action.

The crossbowmen appear at the front, the archers a few rows behind, and the jackdaw arrows at the end.

A denser rain of arrows rose from the Han army's formation, whizzed through the air, and tilted down towards the Wei army.

It looked like a black waterfall falling from the sky.

Although the iron armor of the Wei soldiers had defensive capabilities, it was too dense. Some Wei soldiers were shot with twenty arrows in an instant.

Even if he didn't hit the crack, or if he was lucky enough not to hit the face, such a shot would be enough to knock someone down.

Under such an impact, Wei troops fell one after another.

But this still did not make the Wei army retreat at all. All the archers of the Wei army fired arrows in front of them desperately.

And keep getting closer!

The Han army's military formation was also collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the distance between the two sides narrowed to fifty meters, the archers of the Wei army put away their bows and arrows, drew out their Huanshou swords, and rushed towards the Han army like waves sloping out.

The heavy armored soldiers of the Han army stepped forward one after another during this gap, with long swords at the ready.

The close combat between the two wings began.

The Wei army at the front almost collided with the Han army, and the sounds of weapons clashing kept coming and going.

In an instant, countless people fell to the ground.

More Wei troops from behind rushed forward, fell down, rushed forward again, and fell again.

After an unknown amount of time, the corpses had piled up and the grass was stained red with blood.

Even on the left wing, blood gathered into a stream and flowed towards the Wei River.

"General! The Shu army's defense line in front failed to break through, and our army was defeated!"

Xiahou Ba was slightly startled. He did not expect that Xi Zuo had arranged to spread the news that Zhuge Liang was seriously ill and that the Shu army could still hold on.

"Report! General! Several fronts of the Shu army have been attacked by our army!"

Xiahou Ba knew that the opportunity for the cavalry attack came at this time.

This time, Guo Huai first used infantry to consume the flanks of the Shu army, and then used cavalry. It can be said that he fought the hardest battle, vowing to take back Guanzhong in one battle!
But Xiahou Ba hesitated.

Because Sima Yi defeated the Cao Shuang clan.

Not only are the Cao Shuang clan gone, but Xia Houxuan is also dead!

Although Xiahou Ba expressed his loyalty to Sima Yi, Sima Yi also showed his attitude. After all, Xiahou Ba has been on the Western Front these years.

Most of the Western Front were Sima Yi's men.

But Xiahou Ba was still feeling uneasy. Sima Yi had promised not to kill Cao Shuang!
As a result, the Cao Shuang clan was destroyed!

"General, do you want to march?"

Xiahou Ba hesitated for a moment and said, "The morale of the Shu army is strong, please wait a moment!"

"Here!"

After a while, the Han army's left wing began to regroup, and the vacancies were quickly filled.

But the situation on the right wing was not good. Le Wei's armored cavalry had already taken action.

The terrifying cavalry frenzy began to gallop on the battlefield, like a sharp sword, stabbing towards the injured right wing of the Han army.

In an instant, the cavalry tore through the defense of the Han army's right wing and drove straight in!
A larger torrent of cavalry followed closely behind, like huge waves of steel hitting the Han army's right-wing defense line one after another.
