Chapter 397 (1/2)

”Volley!”

Xiliang iron horse is another round of arrow rain covering the past, the yellow scarf thief who had been prepared for a long time quickly raised a big shield to defend the enemy's arrow rain shooting.

Zhou Su called out in a hurry: ”Bowman returns!”

The archers among the yellow scarf thieves opened their bows and arrows one after another, and fired back in a volley. Seeing the Yellow turban thief bow and arrow, Ma Chao naturally won't resist, so he led the Xiliang iron horse around and left.

However, as soon as the archer of the Yellow turban thief put out his arrow, the Xiliang iron horse immediately stuck to it like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and from time to time put out a round of arrows. Even if the Yellow turban thief used a shield to defend, there were hundreds of casualties.

Zhou Su was very angry, because the Xiliang iron cavalry came to invade, so naturally he could not dig the trench. Once he dug the trench, he naturally gave the Xiliang iron horse an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Ma Chao is not impatient. He just stares at the enemy from a distance. Once the enemy slackens a little, he immediately rushes forward. Without saying a word, it is covered by a rain of arrows and carries out a long-range attack. Once the archer of the enemy wants to fight back, he immediately turns around and retreats, never entangled.

With Ma Chao, a hungry wolf, watching from afar at any time, Zhou Su's efforts to dig trenches were in vain. Zhou Su was still afraid of the charging of Xiliang iron cavalry in groups, so he ordered the whole army to form a tight line without any relaxation.

For a while, the two armies confronted each other. The Xiliang iron cavalry was not arrogant and impetuous, but tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves held on to the battle, but they could not hold on.

”Commander Zhou and commander Xu ordered that the whole army be withdrawn from the camp, and we will talk about it later.”

Zhou Su was in a state of impatience when he suddenly drove out of the middle army from a distance. Zhou Su immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

”The whole army obeys orders, maintains the formation, slowly withdraws to the camp, must not disorder the formation!”

Hearing Zhou Su's order, tens of thousands of yellow scarf thieves kept a tight formation and slowly retreated.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, led the Xiliang cavalry forward step by step, until the Yellow turban thieves completely retreated into the camp, and Ma Chao shook his head.

After a look at the empty arrow pot behind, Ma Chao reinforces his horse to rush to the bottom of the sour jujube city and says in a loud voice: ”general, there are not many arrows in our army. Please open the gate and send some arrows out.”

The Han Army has already cut down all the trees near suanzao city. Nowadays, almost all the trees in the city are full of wood. However, Liu Ye mobilized all the residents of the city to make rolling logs and arrows instead of doing anything else. Now, there are hundreds of thousands of arrows in the small city of Zizyphus jujuba.

Hearing Ma Chao's request, Liu Ye immediately ordered the city gate to be opened. Guan Hai escorted more than ten carts and sent out thousands of arrow pots. The Xiliang iron cavalry, who had already shot all the arrows from behind, put new arrow pots on their backs.

After that, more than 5000 Xiliang irons left.

In the evening, 30000 yellow turban thieves escorted many trees from other places to make siege equipment. Xu and Su Zhongjun were scolding each other.

”Fool!”

Xu he pinched his waist with both hands and became furious.

”You're so stupid that you won't block the enemy with horses and antlers, and then continue to build them?”

Zhou Su said in a low voice: ”Xu Shuai, it is better for our army to dig the trench during the night when the enemy is resting, so that we don't have to worry about the enemy taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack.”

Xu he's anger was hard to calm down, and snorted: ”just! In that case, I'll listen to you. You'll lead my men and horses out to dig trenches and supervise the construction of siege equipment. Japanese commanders must attack the city! ”

Zhou Su hastily promised to come down: ”please don't worry about Xu Shuai. I'll do it right now.”
