Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

At the same time, the mountain is over.

At this time, the war has reached a fever pitch.

The twelve mountain roads are now littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

However, these corpses were all those of Jiangdong soldiers.

Until now, Ling Tong and others still have not been able to take a step into the city wall.

No matter how hard Ling Tong, Huang Gai, Gan Ning and Cheng Pu tried, it was to no avail.

This ballista has an extremely long range and cannot get close at all.

However, Jiangdong soldiers managed to shoot arrows and barely hit the city wall.

But they found that the city wall was as hard as iron and would not move at all.

Even Gan Ning, the best archer, could not penetrate the city wall.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Notify other parties to retreat!"

At this moment, Huang Gai finally couldn't bear it anymore.

So many soldiers died, and thousands of them died in just half an hour just by myself.

It is not known what the casualties of soldiers on other routes were.

If this continues, even if the ballistae is out of arrows, more than half of the soldiers will be killed or injured when attacking.

How can we fight with so many Shanyue people then?

Therefore, it is better to go down the mountain first and discuss a solution.

Soon, Jiang Dongjun spread the news to everyone.

The Jiangdong Army of Route 12 dispersed like a tide.

At this time, Taishi Ci's heart was slightly touched.

In fact, Taishi Ci did not want to kill too many Jiangdong soldiers in this way.

Therefore, when firing arrows to stop them, Taishi Ci asked them to shoot as far as possible and not to kill too many people.

Zhao Yun also agreed with this.

After all, Zhao Yun's current thoughts are based on Bai Feng's thoughts.

What Bai Feng wanted was not to kill all the Jiangdong soldiers, but just Sun Quan's life.

Therefore, under the condition of ensuring that Shanyue will not be captured, all parties are more or less merciful.

The casualties have been kept to a minimum.

However, Jiangdong soldiers still lost tens of thousands of people.

This made Huang Gai and others very distressed.

Apart from distress, there was only annoyance and regret, followed by endless anger.

"Why are these Shanyue people so strong?!"

"None of the foreign races in the south can compare with them!"

"Also, why did they suddenly think of building city walls and ballistas?!"

Huang Gai now has countless doubts in his mind, but no one can answer them for him.

No one knows what changes have occurred in Shanyue.

Especially Ling Tong, who was even more puzzled than Huang Gai.

Some time ago, Ling Tong clearly had a battle with these Shanyue bandits.

Although he lost everything because of the soldiers, Ling Tong knew very well that the strength of these Shanyue bandits was average.

However, they were coming with great force at that time, and the numerical suppression combined with these young master soldiers was really not enough, which led to the failure.

However, this failure was not due to the soldiers or the general.

But those Shanyue actually know how to use equipment!

Not only that, this ballista's attack speed is also very fast!

It can be fired with almost no reloading!

"No, if we continue like this, we won't be able to break through this mountain wall!"

Gan Ning hammered the document hard, his eyes filled with endless anger.

Most of the Jiangdong soldiers who died were elites who had followed them in the south for a long time.

Now that they are all dead, how can Gan Ning be willing to do so?

"Right now, I might as well just focus on attacking all the way!"

"Although the ballista is fierce, I have seen it. It is so big that only two can be placed on the city wall at most."

"If I wait to rush forward in one breath, the ballista won't be able to make it in time!"

At this time, Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes and said.

At first, it was Ling Tong who suggested splitting the attack, but no one would blame Ling Tong.

After all, no one expected that these Shanyue seemed to have enlightened themselves. Not only did they come up with better crossbows than Jiangdong now, but they also had crossbow carts!

Moreover, there seems to be something weird about that rough-looking city wall!

If an arrow hits it, it will even bounce away!

Could it be that the inside is made of iron?

They would never have guessed that under the thin rammed earth, there were hard cement walls.

Although this thing is not as hard as steel, it is not something that ordinary arrows can penetrate.

"Now is not the time to attack."

"Now that our army has just set out, we have suffered so many casualties and our morale is extremely low."

"Right now, it's better to recuperate for a while and wait until morale recovers before fighting again!"

At this time, Ling Tong, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke.

Huang Gai nodded heavily:

"That's all it can do."

"Next time I attack the mountain, I will let those vicious Shanyue bandits have a taste of my Jiangdong's power!"

The more Huang Gai thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally left angrily.

Gan Ning and Cheng Pu just sighed and left silently, returning to their tents.

In the entire camp, only Ling Tongyi was left.

Ling Tong sat on the chair dully, looking at the map in front of him, and felt a little at a loss for a moment.

What has happened to Shanyue?

There is definitely something fishy about that ballista!

Ling Tong had attacked countless cities, so he naturally knew about ballistae.

Although the ballista has a long range, strong penetration, and extremely high hit rate, it has a fatal weakness.

That’s reloading!

Ling Tong had seen the fastest reloading crossbow, and it took at least two or three minutes to completely reload.

Just the large arrows required several people to carry them.

However, the ballista used by Shanyue could shoot at an incredible speed!

Basically, it starts firing in a few seconds!

Although it was a little slower later, Ling Tong could probably guess that there were no more crossbow arrows and wanted to save them.

Ling Tong became more and more suspicious. Is there someone behind Shan Yue who is giving guidance?

Compared to Jiangdong, Shanyue is simply a group of barbarians.

In their minds, other than burning, killing, looting, and fighting for territory, they had no other thoughts at all.

Even well-made weapons have never been seen.

Not to mention such a sophisticated instrument such as a crossbow carriage. Nowadays, even the best craftsmen in Jiangdong are unable to develop a crossbow carriage, but Shankoshi was able to develop it.

"No, it's better to inform the lord about this matter."

Ling Tong murmured, then picked up the bamboo slips, raised his pen to write, and ordered the scouts to send them to Wu Commandery.

However, Ling Tong still had some ominous premonitions.

He always felt that there was a bigger secret hidden behind the mountain wall.

Since they have a ballista, there might be other things they haven't seen before.

Moreover, Ling Tong didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that these Shanyue people were showing mercy.

The arrow rain clearly covered the sky and the sun, but when it fell, it was scattered, as if it was not aimed at all, and the hits were basically less than 20%.
