"Zhang Liao." Liu Xie stared at Chang'an City and shouted in a low voice.

"I obey the order." Zhang Liao immediately accepted the order.

He turned around and shouted to the archer formation under his command: "The shield troops are in front, covering the archers as they rush fifty meters in front of the city."

"promise."

All the soldiers accepted the order in unison,

Step, step... The five thousand shield army held strong shields, divided into several groups, and quickly rushed towards Chang'an City. Behind the five thousand shield army soldiers, five thousand archers holding light bows followed the shield army.

The army advanced sharply and quickly approached Chang'an City.

"It seems that Lu Bu is going to attack the city." Li Su's eyes widened and he ordered loudly: "Archers, prepare."

"Prepare the kerosene."

"Never let the enemy come near the city walls."

"promise."

Although the soldiers of the Xiliang Army on the city tower were frightened, they did not dare to disobey the military orders.

Tata....Under the strategy of shield troops in front and archers in the back.

Ten thousand soldiers quickly approached the city of Chang'an.

When the distance was less than a hundred meters, it was within the shooting range of the archers on the tower.

"Fire the arrows, and you are not allowed to stop without the general's order." Li Su shouted loudly.

"Kill...kill..."

The Xiliang army on the city tower roared loudly, bang bang bang, there was a burst of sound of releasing the bow, whizz, whizz, piercing sound, and thousands of sharp arrows formed a violent storm, aiming at the Han soldiers below.

Overturned and fell.

However, the shield troops who rushed forward were not vegetarians.

"Royal."

Wei Xu, the shield general, gave an order.

The five thousand shield soldiers held the handles of their shields with both hands. The first row raised them up, and the others raised them high, forming a tight shield defense formation, protecting the five thousand archers in the shields.

I could only hear the arrows whistling down from the sky, hitting the shield defense formation of the shield army like a heavy rain, and there was an endless ringing sound. However, under the tight defense, few sharp arrows falling from the sky were injured.

Soldiers.

"Cover the archers as they advance." After blocking the crazy arrows with his shield, Wei Xu immediately shouted and continued to advance, with five thousand archers following closely behind, hiding under the protection of the shield.

"Damn."

"It's not that simple to get close to the city gate." Seeing the 10,000 soldiers rushing in quickly and already less than a hundred meters away from the city tower, Li Su's eyes spit fire and he shouted angrily: "Prepare rolling stones and wood for me, archers."

Change to rockets.”

Just when Li Su was treating him with all his strength, he was preparing to give the Han soldiers the most brutal attack.

"stop."

Less than fifty meters away from the city tower, Wei Xu waved his hand and stopped advancing.

At this distance, only the archers on the tower could hit, but the extremely lethal fire oil, rolling stones and wood could not do anything to the soldiers.

At this distance, the soldiers' goal had been achieved.

"General Cao, what happens next is up to you." Wei Xu shouted to the archers behind him.

"Don't worry, we will definitely complete your Majesty's mission."

Cao Xing, the commander of the archers and the most skilled archer among Lu Bu's eight generals, replied.

Cao Xing, his martial arts may not be that strong, but his archery skills are unique. In the original history, Cao Xing blinded Xiahou Dun's eyes with one arrow, which was his greatest achievement.

"Archers prepare."

Cao Xing shouted, he also took out his bow and arrow, bent the bow and nocked the arrow, and raised it at an angle to shoot into the city.

"promise."

Five thousand archers shouted in unison, bent their bows and nocked arrows, raised their angles, and aimed at the tower.

"Withdraw the shield."

"Fire the arrow."

The voices of Wei Xu and Cao Xing sounded almost at the same time.

Suddenly,

The soldiers of the shield army evacuated the shield, and the archers fired arrows at the same time.

Bang bang bang.

Boo hoo hoo.

The bow vibrated, the bow and arrows roared, and five thousand arrows quickly rose into the air and were thrown towards Chang'an City.

Puff. Puff.

"ah...."

The sudden rain of arrows caught the Xiliang soldiers on the tower by surprise. Many Xiliang soldiers were directly pierced through their bodies and fell into a pool of blood.

However, only a few of the Xiliang soldiers were penetrated, and most of the arrows passed over the towers and landed directly in Chang'an City.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow..."

Li Su shouted with red eyes.

But just as countless arrows rained down.

"Royal."

Wei Xu gave an order, and the shield array that had just been opened merged again, blocking the attack of countless arrows.

The rain of arrows from the Xiliang army stopped for a moment.

Cao Xing immediately seized the opportunity and ordered again: "Fire the arrow."

Boo hoo hoo.

Another round of arrows rose into the sky and was shot towards Chang'an City.

This time we used bows and arrows to defend against the enemy. The real advantage was not the power of the arrows, but the power of the capitulation letter tied to the arrows.

Time passes at any time.

All the arrows of the five thousand archers were fired and thrown into Chang'an City, a total of fifty thousand arrows.

"Royal."

"withdraw."

Wei Xu immediately ordered to resist with shields and retreat backwards.

After returning to the main formation, under tight defense, except for a few minor injuries, none of the 10,000 Han soldiers died, and this mission was also a complete success.

"Your Majesty, all the surrender letters have been fired into the city."

Wei Xu, after Cao Xing returned to the formation, immediately reported to Liu Xie.

"Good job."

"It's a great achievement for both of you, dear Qing. After your triumph, you will be rewarded heavily." Liu Xie looked at the two of them and praised them.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." The two generals said gratefully.

"The surrender letter has been put in. Now we will wait for the city to be in chaos. Then we can capture Chang'an in one fell swoop and put an end to the rebellion." Liu Xie stared at Chang'an City and said quietly.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming," Lu Bu and Zhang Liao said in unison.

"Withdraw the troops." Liu Xie waved his hand and decreed.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the army should retreat." Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other generals gave orders one after another.

"promise."

The 150,000-strong army retreated in an orderly manner. The army came and left just as quickly. In just one stick of incense, it had disappeared in front of Chang'an City and returned to the camp.

Liu Xie's sudden withdrawal naturally left the Xiliang defenders on Chang'an City at a loss.

They were all ready to face the attack of 150,000 troops, but in the middle of the battle, Liu Xie suddenly withdrew his troops?
