Chapter 182 – Battle of Liyang - Part 12
The arrow rain pieced the soldiers who still stumbled in the mud, turning them into porcupines, like what they called their formation.
Tong watched the scene and muttered by reflex, "How ironic."
The arrows did not kill everybody, some of Zhu Jun's soldiers survived by using their shields to block the volley. These men still struggling and trying to fight back. They regrouped with the nearby survivors, so the ones with the shields could protect the archers who could shoot back.
Seeing the determination of Zhu Jun's men, Tong sighed as he felt pity for these men. If the situation were different, Tong would have tried to recruit these veterans into his army.
Alas, this was a battlefield, and they were the bane of Tong's father. Had he allowed Zhu Jun and his men to fight with Zhang Jiao, his father's army would have lost. Zhang Jiao would have died like what happened in his previous life's historical timeline.
