All the civil and military officials in Shouchun City stayed away from Yuan Yin. After all, although they were afraid of Lu Bu, they were not so afraid that they wet their pants.
As expected of Yuan Shu's disciple, Yuan Yin's psychological quality is also quite poor.
Zhang Xun ignored the frightened Yuan Yin, took out the seal of Shouchun City, used a lot of luck, and activated the defense system and moat formation!
Since the public opinion in Shouchun City is extremely low, this use can be said to have drained away the luck stored in the seal, leaving very little.
Next, to activate the city protective gas shield, you may need the help of a large number of Confucian scholars in the city.
Shouchun City is not Xiapi City. Confucian scholars are everywhere, and there are as many official families as dogs. Although the Haoran righteousness in each person may not be too much, when gathered together, it can become a raging sea, and the total amount is extremely exaggerated.
Presumably it can last for several months, enough to defeat Lu Bu's army who came from afar outside the city.
After all, the extremely long grain road requires a large number of people to carry it, which can be said to be a waste of time and money.
The war lasted for several months, which would completely make Lu Bu, who had just experienced a war, find his finances were at the bottom and had no choice but to retreat.
"shoot!"
The huge crossbow showed its ferocious face in Shouchun City. This crossbow was far larger than Lu County, and there was no one that could not be pulled by hundreds of people.
However, under the urging of Shouchun City's seal, he easily shot two arrows as thick as his arms and rushed towards Lu Bu who was still outside the moat.
There are a total of thirty such crossbows in Shouchun City. Since Lu Bu's main attack direction is in the south, they are basically placed in the south.
Dozens of huge arrows were shot out at the same time, and the scene was jaw-dropping.
The range of these crossbows is extremely long, completely covering Lu Bu's position.
Even Yang Feng and others were affected.
Seeing the arrow coming, the faces of Yang Feng and others changed wildly. They had already thought that Shouchun City's defense measures were very strong, but they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes today.
No enemy had dared to attack Shouchun City before, so even though Yang Feng was a general under Yuan Shu, he had never seen Shouchun City deploy its defense system.
What he saw today completely shattered Yang Feng's confidence, and he began to doubt whether these tens of thousands of troops could actually enter Shouchun City.
After all, no manpower is required to pull such a huge crossbow. As long as the arrows are sufficient, the enemy's morale will collapse before they cross the moat.
With such a deep moat in front of us, without boats, we could only rely on sandbags to fill it. During the process of filling the sandbags, it was inevitable not to be hit by arrows.
When the time comes, one shot will produce a bunch of candied haws. The soldiers would have run away if they still had the confidence to fill the moat.
Moreover, the moat is full of dangers, not only from the city's defense system, but also from the river. Unknown creatures will appear in the river, pulling soldiers who want to cross the river into the water and drowning alive.
It was extremely difficult to capture Shouchun City. If Lu Bu hadn't been blocking the front line, Yang Feng might have led his troops back home.
The reason why he didn't leave was because he wanted to see if Lu Bu could solve the defense system of Shouchun City. If Lu Bu asked Yang Feng to use the lives of his men to fill it.
Then Yang Feng would definitely not do it, he would just turn around and leave without looking back.
At this moment, Yang Feng and Han Xian were not stingy with the zhenqi in their bodies, pushing the zhenqi to the extreme. After all, if such a thick arrow were to hit the army, the consequences would be disastrous.
They could only bite the bullet and use their personal force to intercept those arrows.
When Lu Bu saw dozens of thick arrows coming through the air, he snorted coldly and faced them straight with the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand.
Stab!
Fang Tian's painted halberd split an arrow in half without any hindrance, and the huge wreckage fell into the water one after another, causing waves of spray and the entire shore getting soaked.
Fang Tian's painted halberd continued unabated and cut off several arrows around him, causing them to sink into the water one after another and become fodder for the earth.
But there were so many arrows that Lu Bu only managed to break ten of them in a short time, and the rest were shot behind.
boom!
I saw Yang Feng catching an arrow, and the shadow took a few steps back, barely blocking the momentum, then roared, thrust out with all his strength, and shattered the arrow!
Han Xian's situation was not much better. It took a lot of effort to deal with an arrow, but it was not as easy as Lu Bu's poetry.
The rest of the arrows were not accurate and hit the ground, lifting up the entire soil.
Otherwise, they blasted into Lu Bu's camp. Dozens of soldiers were unable to escape and suffered heavy casualties. Those who were hit by the arrows suffered the worst. Not even their intact bodies were left behind, and they were killed into a pulp.
After all, arrows are not endless perpetual motion machines. After being blocked by a few human flesh, the momentum slowly slows down. Although being hit from behind is fatal or injured, it is better than the initial hit.
In a short period of time, Lu Bu's army lost hundreds of men, all of whom were unlucky ones who were shot by arrows.
"Marquis Wen, if we don't withdraw our troops, Shouchun City will not be captured at all."
Since all Yang Feng's soldiers and horses were lost, Yang Feng was so anxious that he spoke directly.
"With Shouchun City's rock-solid defense system and the mysterious moat as a shield, capturing Shouchun City is already a luxury."
"Marquis Wen, that's what I mean. Retreat to preserve your strength. I believe Marquis Wen has already made a fortune along the way. It's not a loss to retreat now."
Han Xian was equally worried.
"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Bu looked back at Yang Feng and Han Xian and said coldly.
Yang Feng and Han Xian suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they did not dare to look at Lu Bu at all.
The thick arrows could not give such a strong sense of oppression at all, so Yang Feng and Han Xian chose to keep their mouths shut.
After all, Shouchun City has revealed its ferocious face, and Lu Bu will surely want to retreat once he touches the blood.
Because according to usual experience, Lu Bu doesn't like to fight tough battles, and will retreat when encountering some setbacks.
At that time, Yang Feng and Han Xian estimated that Lu Bu could run faster than a rabbit, so they were not in a hurry to dissuade him.
Of course, Lu Bu was not the kind of monarch who didn't care. Knowing that the army was still within the shooting range, he asked Yang Feng and Han Xian to lead the army out of the arrow shooting range.
Lu Bu faced Shouchun City's defense system alone, and at the same time asked him to take the injured Lei Bo and Chen Lan away from the battlefield.
Shouchun City's defense system is very strong, and Lu Bu knows it well, but no matter how strong it is, there is a limit. Lu Bu just wants to test the limit and then slowly figure it out.
After all, the opportunity to defeat Ji Ling in one battle has been lost. It is not easy to break through Shouchun City, but Lu Bu is not discouraged.
Lu Bu came with the mood of decisive victory and vowed not to give up until Shouchun City was conquered!
Zhang Xun on the top of the city saw that Lu Bu still refused to give up, so he shouted: "Bomb!"
After the crossbow showed its ferocious face, another weapon for defending the city also surfaced, that is, the giant catapult.
Due to the geographical advantage, the height can be used to attack a long distance, which is something that the siege party does not have.
Moreover, the siege party had no luck to call upon. If they wanted to use a giant catapult, they would probably need hundreds of people to drive it, and there would also be the threat of casualties.
After all, the boulder is too big, a full five meters wide, and humans are extremely small in front of it.
Because giant catapults are expensive to build and difficult to maintain, Shouchun City only has five of them, but they are more than enough for defending the city.
