Shields are rare, and even wooden shields are rare.
It is not a decisive battle now, so Cao Cao will naturally not accompany all the rare shields.
Therefore, in the entire front line of the Wei army, except for Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Cao Ren, who were equipped with wooden shields, the rest of them had no ability to defend against arrows.
Not only that, these soldiers are not armored soldiers, but wear leather armor.
The leather armor's defensive power is indeed good, but it can't even withstand sharp blades. How can it stop sharp arrows?
In just the blink of an eye, dense arrows struck in front of Xia Houyuan.
Dang Dang Dang!
The arrow was so powerful that it shook the wooden shield from side to side, and he almost missed it.
Xia Houyuan still gave up his sword and held the wooden shield tightly with both hands to barely stabilize himself.
At the same time, each arrow penetrated deeply into the wooden shield and was completely transmitted to Xia Houyuan's body through his arms.
He took several steps back before barely regaining his balance.
Xia Houyuan was almost shot down, and he hated this place.
But Xia Houyuan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even with a wooden shield, he couldn't resist. You can imagine how the soldiers behind him were.
When Xia Houyuan was shot and kept retreating, while he was adjusting his body shape, the arrows had already penetrated the front row of soldiers.
Because it was too sharp and the angle was too tricky, many soldiers died before they even had time to scream.
When Xia Houyuan came to his senses, the soldiers in the front row fell in pieces.
A round of arrows caused countless casualties.
Most of the people who were shot were killed, but a few who were lucky enough to miss their vital points fell to the ground and kept wailing.
"Help..."
"My legs! Legs!"
"Ah, I got shot through the arm!"
"Who can help me...!"
. . .
Once I think of the screams, they are sharp and continuous.
Coupled with the visual impact of heavy casualties, the blow to morale was unprecedented.
Especially the second row of soldiers.
After all, after the first platoon died, they were the ones facing the attack.
Fortunately, the Han army did not give them time to fear.
After taking a breath, the sound of breaking through the air sounded again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh. . .
The black arrows struck again, heading straight for the Wei army's front line.
Dang Dang Dang. . .
Several more arrows found Xia Houyuan and penetrated deep into the wooden shield.
Fortunately, Xia Houyuan was prepared and stood firmly on the spot.
However, the soldiers were not so lucky.
The sharp arrows can even pierce the air, how can a mere leather armor stop them.
Being shot through is completely normal!
It can be said that it is extremely pitiful to not penetrate one person and shoot the person behind him to death!
The soldiers of the Wei army fell in pieces again.
At the same time, those who were lucky enough not to be shot in the vital parts began to wail again.
There were so many people that they wailed all over the place.
The entire Wei army was in a mess!
Xia Houyuan looked at the soldiers behind him, his brain completely sluggish.
This brutal attack method was completely beyond his imagination.
For a moment, it was simply unacceptable.
Just when Xia Houyuan was in a daze, the soldiers at the rear let out a hoarse roar.
"General, be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, the sound of an arrow taking off its string was heard again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh. . .
Xia Houyuan was startled and quickly turned his head.
But this action that he thought was quite fast was still too slow in front of the arrow.
Completely unprepared, the arrows swarmed.
Dang Dang Dang. . . !
This time, Xia Houyuan seemed to be targeted intensively, causing him to retreat in panic and almost fall to the ground.
Fortunately, a soldier stepped forward bravely and helped Xia Houyuan.
"many..."
Before he could say his thanks, the arrow penetrated the soldier's neck.
Blood spurted out and splashed on Xia Houyuan's face!
The extremely bloody scene made Xia Houyuan's eyes blood red.
But he didn't have time to hate him at all, because all the arrows in this round were shot into the bodies of the Wei soldiers!
The soldiers in the front row fell in pieces again!
This is already the third time!
Three rows of Wei soldiers have fallen!
Xia Houyuan glanced around blankly. There were at least a thousand corpses and hundreds of soldiers lying on the ground wailing.
The casualties were not the most tragic, but the collapse of military morale was the most tragic.
Three platoons of soldiers fell, and the fourth platoon became the front line.
But facing corpses everywhere, the soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they still had no fighting power left.
If there weren't too many soldiers, all crowded together with no way out, they would have started their escape long ago!
The advantage of having many soldiers was brought into play.
I want to escape, but I can't.
Can it move one person, two people, or thousands of people?
Almost all the soldiers in the fourth row were frozen on the spot in despair, waiting for the fourth round of arrow attacks.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, no more arrows came.
The soldiers also turned from panic to confusion.
Taking advantage of this time, Xia Houyuan quickly looked to both sides, ready to see how the soldiers on both wings were doing.
At this sight, the despairing heart was instantly pleasantly surprised.
Unlike the middle, there were very few places hit by arrows on both sides, and only a few soldiers died.
The soldiers at the front have already come into contact with the shield array.
The Wei troops on both wings could completely ignore the shield formation and attack directly on the flanks.
As long as there is a breakthrough along the way, the shield array is nothing to fear!
Taking this opportunity, Xia Houyuan quickly roared to boost morale.
He wanted to call the soldiers out of their time while they had no way to escape.
"Soldiers! Don't be afraid! The enemy has no more arrows!"
"Follow me and charge, I will lead you to kill them all!"
The soldiers of the Wei army looked left and right, but no one obeyed the order and moved forward.
Obviously, it is too difficult to get them to move forward with just a few words!
Xia Houyuan was furious and stared at the soldiers in the rear.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you just move forward with me!"
The soldiers looked left and right, almost with fear etched on their faces.
"General, no... I dare not..."
"Don't dare!"
Xia Houyuan's nose was almost crooked with anger.
As a soldier, how ridiculous is it that he can't say the word "dare" on the battlefield?
There is no need to doubt what these soldiers would do if they had the chance to escape!
Xia Houyuan felt Xiahou Dun's situation firsthand.
Feeling powerless!
There is simply no way.
"Trash, trash, it's all trash!"
