And the trial on the tower of the city gate frowned, he always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, facing an opponent whose strength was much higher than his own, showing panic There was nothing wrong with it, but... When the distance between the two sides was about fifty paces, the arrows of the two sides fired at each other, and the losses of the northern army were far smaller than that of Yuan Shao's army because of the tower shield arranged in the outermost area. However, Yuan Shaojun's momentum was not only not affected in the slightest, but became more and more prosperous, and the northern army seemed to be more and more panicked. Yuan Shaojun couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, as if he was smiling towards a beautiful woman, and this beautiful woman was trembling and resisting in vain.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when they were less than twenty steps apart, the momentum of the Northern Army suddenly changed, and the sergeant Yuan Shao, who was rushing to the front, could clearly see the mocking expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Northern Army. Yuan Shaojun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the feeling in his heart was that the beauty that was originally slaughtered by others suddenly turned into a hideous-looking beast, this change was too strong!

The judge on the tower of the city gate was taken aback, he felt a strong sense of unease, and suddenly thought: How can the legendary Northern Expeditionary Army, which will not retreat from the battle, be afraid of war! His eyes hurriedly looked around, and his expression was very solemn.

Just when Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were stunned, countless black spherical objects flew out of the military formation of the Northern Army, about the size of two people's heads, and smashed towards the Yuan Shaojun soldiers who were close at hand.

Before Yuan Shaojun could react, a huge sound sounded like scattering beans, and clusters of orange-red flames rose up in the soldiers with black smoke, just like flames spewing out of the mouth of the demon king; Screams were accompanied by deafening explosions, and stumps flew into the air. The hellish scene suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Yuan Shao was taken aback, "What's going on?" The expression is as if he has seen a ghost, and it is no wonder that no one in this era will be shocked by such a scene, isn't it the same for Cao Cao who was under the pot at the beginning? In fact, Yuan Shao had already received information about this weapon of the Northern Army, after all, the Northern Army had used this weapon in many battles, and this weapon could not be regarded as a secret, but at that time, Yuan Shao scoffed at this information, because he felt that the power of this weapon was too exaggerated, according to his thoughts, would such a weapon be something that humans could have? It is precisely because of Yuan Shao's attitude that Yuan Shaojun's side has never taken the gunpowder weapons of the Northern Army seriously.

The judge stared blankly at the rising smoke of the fire on the battlefield, with a shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't help but change color when he had always been calm.

Where have Yuan Shaojun's soldiers seen the situation in front of them, fear rapidly expanded in their hearts, and some timid ones collapsed on the ground like dead ashes, babbling in their mouths, probably asking for the blessing of the gods!

The black spherical object constantly flew out of the Northern Army's formation. It turned out that there were more than 100 miniature catapults in the middle of the Northern Army's formation, only about two meters long, which seemed very small, and it was they who kept throwing black balls.

The 20,000 Yuan Shaojun who took the lead in the attack only lasted for a moment, and then they were completely confused, and no matter whether the soldiers were generals or generals, they were all running around in a panic, really like headless flies. In fact, Yuan Shaojun's casualties were not very large, but the shock and fear in their hearts were difficult to express in words.

The Northern Army suddenly changed formation, the black ball was no longer thrown, and the explosion immediately stopped. Thousands of horizontal sword warriors rushed out with sharp horizontal knives in their hands, and rushed out to kill Yuan Shaojun, who had not yet recovered from the panic, and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun were ruthlessly harvested by the sword like mustard. At this time, if Yuan Shaojun can fight back, or it is possible to stabilize his position, at least he will not be defeated too badly, but Yuan Shaojun, who has been frightened by the gunpowder bombs of the Northern Army, has no intention of fighting at all, and everyone just wants to run away. Nearly a thousand unarmored sergeants rushed out with the Horizontal Sword Warriors, pushing bed crossbows that were more than two meters long.

Under the fierce rush of thousands of horizontal sword warriors, the 20,000 Yuan Shao army soon collapsed completely, and the rout fled straight to the three phalanxes behind them that had not yet been put into battle, when they were afraid, people would always run to the safest place in their hearts, and at this moment in the hearts of the routs, the three phalanxes were the safest places in their hearts, they subconsciously felt that as long as they ran over, they would be safe, and there would be someone to block the terrible northern expeditionary army for themselves.

Yuan Shao's face changed drastically, and he knew that if he let the rout troops disrupt his own position, he would be in great trouble. Without thinking, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows, and ordered his generals to raise their voices to warn the rout.

The routs who had lost their armor spread their feet and ran towards their own army, and suddenly saw the crossbowmen appear at the front of the formation, thinking that they were going to snipe the Northern Expeditionary Army chasing behind, so they ran more happily. They also saw a general who seemed to be shouting something, but almost all of them didn't hear it clearly.

Suddenly, the general lowered his arm suddenly, and the routs were horrified to see a dark cloud coming towards them, and then the first rout fell in a large area, and many of the fallen rout corpses still had an unbelievable look on their faces, and their mouths were wide open, as if shouting, 'We are our own people!' Yuan

Shao's decisive means worked, and most of the rout passed through the gap between the three army formations, and although a few panicked soldiers rushed towards the army formation, they did not disturb the position.

At this time, the war drums in the army formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army sounded rhythmically a few times, and although the battlefield was noisy, everyone could hear it clearly.

As soon as the horizontal sword warriors who were chasing the defeated army heard the sound of drums, they immediately fell to the ground, and at this moment, they were only fifty paces away from Yuan Shaojun's military formation. Due to the obstruction of the rout, Yuan Shaojun's crossbowmen did not strike at them.

Yuan Shao looked to the opposite side, only to see that a hundred steps away, more than 100 bed crossbows were ready to go, and the huge crossbow guns seemed to be tied to the kind of black object that flew out of the military formation of the Northern Army just now. immediately understood what the Northern Army was planning, and Yuan Shao's face turned pale in an instant!

Before he could react, more than a hundred huge crossbow guns had already flown over. The battlefield seemed to be instantly quiet.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 huge crossbow spears pierced into the three Yuan Shao army formations, some unlucky soldiers were cut off by the huge arrow blades, and some were swept to the ground by the arrows, spurting blood from their mouths and noses, and they couldn't survive when they saw it!

Just when Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were in a mess, fireballs rose in the bushes, and the terrifying explosions continued to stimulate Yuan Shaojun's nerves. Yuan Shaojun's formation was chaotic in an instant, Yuan Shao was frightened and fell to the ground, fortunately, there was a general who desperately rescued him, otherwise he was afraid that he would die under his horse's hooves, and Yuan Shao, who was rescued, was already like ashes, and his face was full of horror.

Standing on the city gate tower and paying close attention to the development of the war, he was so frightened that he lost his face, not because of the fire and sound of the gunpowder explosion, but because he was worried about Yuan Shao who was in it, if Yuan Shao was finished, Yuan Shao's forces were afraid that they would collapse in an instant. Without thinking about it, the trial immediately ordered the 50,000 troops who had been waiting under the city gate to go out of the city to rescue Yuan Shao, who was in a bad situation, and the trial also emphasized that the task was to rescue Yuan Shao, not to attack the Northern Army.

Once again, the gates were wide open, and 50,000 troops, mainly from the civilian army, rushed out of the city trembling. Before he completely left the city, the judge on the tower of the city gate saw two cavalry units rushing from the east and west, each of about 5,000 people, dressed in black and black armor. The trial immediately woke up, and all this today was obviously a trap for the Northern Army. However, the trial did not let the 50,000 miscellaneous army come back, he hoped that the 50,000 miscellaneous army could play a role, at least to rescue Yuan Shao into the city, if Yuan Shao was finished outside the city, what was the point of keeping the army and holding Luoyang City?

The gunpowder bag continued to explode in Yuan Shaojun, and Yuan Shaojun was completely out of order. If Yuan Shaojun can stabilize at this time, in fact, they have a chance to turn the tables. The 50,000 ragtag troops who came out of the city were flanked at the city gate, and how could they dare to approach the place where the demon fire was churning. The judge on the tower of the city gate was so angry that he suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake, even the army that had been in battle for a long time would be terrified when it suddenly faced the 'demon fire' cast by the northern army, let alone an army composed of unemployed people and splashes.

The Iron Cavalry swept up the dust, and when it was about to engage, the bed crossbow of the Northern Army stopped firing. The torrent of iron cavalry crashed into the chaotic tide of soldiers, and the huge impact force knocked many Yuan Shao soldiers running around into the air, trampled with iron hooves, slashed with horizontal knives, and the chaotic Yuan Shaojun was in despair.

The two cavalry teams violently stirred up on the battlefield, and the three infantry phalanxes, which were already disheartened, followed in the footsteps of the first two infantry formations and completely collapsed. Yuan Shaojun's faces were full of horror, and the wolf rushed to the pig.

Yuan Shaojun's nightmare was not over, and the infantry array led by Dian Wei turned from defense to attack and began a full-scale counterattack. The thousands of horizontal sword warriors who had previously defeated the two infantry formations had already been killed with Yuan Shao's army.

The judge, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, saw that the 50,000 miscellaneous troops were still patrolling the city gate, and couldn't help but be furious, and ordered the herald to pass down the order, and if the generals of all departments were afraid of the enemy and did not fight, they would all be sentenced to death! At the same time, order all the archers on the city wall, once the northern army enters the firing range, do not need to ask for instructions, just shoot!

Receiving this strict order, the 50,000 miscellaneous troops had no choice but to move forward. Finding this situation, the Northern Army immediately divided a cavalry team and launched a surprise attack on the miscellaneous army, which originally only planned to delay this miscellaneous army, but did not want this miscellaneous army to collapse at the touch of a button, and fled to the city in a panic.

The Northern Army immediately pursued, chasing and killing the rout, and at the same time rushed to the city gate, in front of the iron hooves of the Northern Army, this ragtag army was like a flock of sheep that encountered wolves. The judge was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he didn't expect that this civilian army, which was usually quite good-looking, would be so vulnerable!

Immediately order the crossbowmen to concentrate their fire at the gates.

Tens of thousands of people crowded at the city gate, many people were squeezed into the moat, and the light cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army chasing behind them were all soft, and behind them were corpses that fell to the ground in various postures, almost all of them were the people's army funded and organized by Yuan Shaoqiang's Shi clan.
