Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505: Shocking Crossbow
These people were very knowledgeable. Not to mention Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun, even Yang Biao and his companions were well aware of all kinds of weapons and large equipment used in the army. Even if they had never led troops to fight in person, they at least knew about them.

But the thing before them, or rather this batch of things, really overturned their past cognition.

I saw that on the city wall, every ten to twenty steps, there was a huge crossbow placed. The crossbow was more than half a person's height, fixed on a huge base, and then nailed into the ground.

Everyone had seen many weapons like crossbows, but this one was so huge and fixed on the city wall for use. This was something Yang Biao and his group had never heard of or seen before.

Without waiting for Liu He to reply, Zhu Ye answered first with a proud look on his face.

"This is a treasure that my eldest brother has carefully prepared for many years, hehe. This thing is called the Jingshen Crossbow. Although it looks heavy, it can fire twenty crossbow arrows at a time. There are fifty Jingshen Crossbows on the city wall, and thirty at each of the other three city gates. Soon, thousands of arrows will be fired at the same time, wow..."

When Zhu Ye thought of this scene, his blood boiled.

Everyone was extremely surprised and they all stared at the Shocking Crossbow for a long time.

"A divine weapon, it is truly a divine weapon!"

"I've heard for a long time that when the general was guarding the northern border, he had many powerful weapons to help him. Seeing them today is really an eye-opener."

Several people couldn't help but admire it.

When Chen Ji and Zheng Tai saw such a magical weapon, despair began to emerge in their eyes.

However, when the two looked at each other, they seemed to remember something, and there was a bit more determination in their eyes. When they looked at Liu He again, there was actually a hint of sly smile at the corners of their mouths.

At this time, a soldier ran over and knelt in front of Liu He.

"Reporting to the General, all fifty Shocking Crossbows have been assembled!"

"it is good!"

Liu He walked forward and looked down at the city.

The tens of thousands of rebels had completely abandoned the city gates and concentrated all their forces on attacking the city walls.

"Hurry up! After we capture the city wall, it won't be a threat to us whether they ride horses or tigers. We have to attack from the top of the city wall and start street fighting. Only then will we have a chance of winning. Hurry up!"

Several generals in the rear kept shouting.

"These guys are not that stupid. They know a bit about military strategy and are much better than Zhang Yan and his ilk. It's a pity that they are still not up to par after all."

While Liu He was speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Ji and Zheng Tai. Unexpectedly, there was no fear or regret on the faces of the two men at this moment. Instead, they seemed very calm, which surprised him a little.

"Have they given up so quickly and figured it out? Never mind. We can't take care of them right now. Let's destroy the rebels first."

Liu He raised the Yangming Po Ni Zhan high.

"Prepare the Shocking Crossbow..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of crossbows being loaded onto the racks was heard all around. Just two breaths later, a soldier shouted.

"Ready!"

Liu He then shouted: "Release!"

Following this order, fifty Jingshen Crossbows fired a thousand crossbow arrows at once, shooting straight towards the city.

Although the range of the powerful crossbow is not as good as that of the strong bow, its shooting speed is faster and its power is stronger. The rebels under the city were still wondering what Liu He meant by the word "release" when they heard the "puff puff" sound of arrows being shot. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were shot through the body by crossbow arrows.

"Good crossbow!" Huangfu Song excitedly slapped the city wall with his palm.

"Not only does this crossbow fire twenty times in a row, but it's also so powerful. If dozens of them could be deployed at every city wall and checkpoint, hundreds to one or two thousand defenders would be enough to hold a place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the second batch of crossbow arrows was loaded again.

There were sounds of arrows firing in the air and screams coming from under the city walls.

The many soldiers under the city had now fully come to their senses and were fleeing in all directions, holding their heads.

Zhu Ye slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "Haha, you want to run? How can it be so easy? The range of this Jingshen Crossbow is over 150 steps, and if it is shot down from the city wall, the range is even farther, and the angle can be adjusted up and down, let's see where you can run!"

Sure enough, as the enemy troops under the city gradually ran farther away, the soldiers who were operating the Jingshen Crossbow bent down, fiddled with the next place, and slowly raised the crossbow a few points.

This scene made the rebel generals' jaws drop in shock.

"What is this? I have never heard of it..."

Before they could finish their words, another wave of crossbow arrows shot towards them.

In just a few waves of crossbow arrows, two or three thousand rebel soldiers were killed under the city wall.

At this point, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the rebel generals had completely lost the courage to fight again.

"Retreat, retreat quickly..."

Several rebel generals turned their horses and fled.

"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, it's up to you."

Cheng Liang, Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye were already ready to go. As soon as Liu He gave the order, the three of them took the order and ran down the tower. After that, the three of them led a group of troops, rushed out of the city gate, and chased the rebels.

The same scene also appeared at the other three city gates.

Wang Yun seemed very happy and looked at Chen Ji with a relieved look.

"Minister Chen, what kind of elite troops are you talking about? Hey, they were first demoralized by the few hundred cavalrymen of Generals Cheng and Zhu, and then they lost their courage by a few crossbows. That's why they lost only 30% to 40% of their strength? They actually fled in panic, even trampling on each other. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are really elite troops."

"What kind of bullshit elite troops are these? Look at these thousands of people in the city. Thousands of people! They were frightened by the general's threats. They squatted on the ground and dared not move. What kind of elite troops are they? They are even worse than new recruits."

Zhu Jun also joined in the ridicule.

However, Chen Ji and Zheng Tai had no reaction to this. They just closed their eyes, looking like they were ready to die at any time.

Yang Biao said with some concern: "General, the enemy's forces are strong. If we rely on just a few generals and their troops to chase them, what if they are at their wit's end and rise up to resist? Isn't that..."

"Haha, you are worrying too much, General. They won't have a chance to resist, let alone escape. You can rest assured."

Although several people couldn't figure out what methods Liu He had, after all, he had just admitted that he knew nothing about the plans of Chen Ji and others today. In such a hasty moment, how many countermeasures and military forces could he have?
However, seeing that Liu He was full of confidence, everyone didn't ask any more questions.

Liu He just glanced in the direction of Hulao Pass and Mengjin Port respectively. At this time, he heard the cry of an eagle in the sky again.

"Chirp..."

He looked up and saw two huge eagles flying towards Luoyang City. Liu He couldn't help but smile.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, Zhang Yu stood alone.

The city no longer had its former prosperity, and there was not a single person to be seen on the wide streets of the north city.

There were sounds of fighting and killing everywhere in the city, but Zhang Yu seemed not to hear them. She was staring towards the east, looking calm, but there was a hint of worry between her brows.

Xun Yu and Cui Jun came over.

"Madam, it's not safe outside, and you are pregnant, so please go back home and rest."

Zhang Yu held onto the door frame and shook her head.

"You two military advisors, please do as you please. I will wait for my husband here."

"This……"

Both of them hesitated.

"I have just appeased the two old ladies and Mr. Zhang so that they will not be suspicious for the time being. But just to be on the safe side, it would be best if the master's mother goes to accompany him. If they notice something, they will definitely worry about the master."

Xun Yu's words made Zhang Yu turn around, and she seemed to be interested.

Cui Jun also chimed in, "My lord is blessed with good fortune, so he will be fine. However, the city and the palace are in chaos, and my lord must be busy suppressing the rebellion. I'm afraid he won't be back home for a while. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the young master in your belly, the old lady in the backyard, and the grandfather. Please take care of yourself."

Zhang Yu lowered her brows and thought for a moment, then looked out the door reluctantly.

"Military Advisor's words make sense. If that's the case..."

At this moment, she seemed to suddenly hear some sound, turned around, walked quickly out of the house, and walked onto the street outside.

"Mother..."

Xun Yu and Cui Jun were worried, so they quickly followed him out.

"Madam, there is no one outside."

The two looked around and didn't see anyone. They thought Zhang Yu was just being overly suspicious and was hallucinating.

Zhang Yu, however, looked at the east side of the street with joy.

"Yes, there is no mistake about it. My husband has returned! This is the cry of the Black King. There is no mistake about it."

"This……"

Cui Jun listened carefully and said, "No, maybe it was the roar of the Divine Tiger Riders."

Zhang Yu shook her head and said, "No, the Black King's roar is much louder and longer than that of an ordinary tiger. The power and murderous aura of the beast king are unparalleled in the world. I won't hear it wrong!"

Xun Yu and Cui Jun looked helpless, thinking of some reasons to persuade her to go back, when suddenly they caught a glimpse of a dark shadow suddenly jumping out from the end of the street in the distance ahead.

The black shadow rushed towards the General's Mansion at an extremely fast speed. Soon, Xun Yu and Cui Jun also saw the true appearance of the black shadow.

"It is indeed the Lord!"

Liu He rode on the Black King and ran over quickly. When he was about ten steps away, he jumped off the tiger's back, ran over and grabbed Zhang Yu's hands.

The two looked at each other in silence. Cui Jun wanted to step forward to report something, but was pulled back by Xun Yu and they quietly retreated back into the mansion together.
