"good!"
With Jia Duwei's advice, Niu Fu was much more composed this time.
......
now.
West of Hangu Pass, on the Hongnong River.
Five hundred warships, like a giant dragon, were lined up in a row on the river.
"Captain Yang, what are we waiting for? Why don't we launch an attack on the city ahead?"
On a large ship in the middle of the fleet, a young general stood expressionless, but was looking towards the east of Hangu Pass.
Seeing that he neither spoke nor gave an order to attack, the adjutant beside him inquired.
"wait!"
Commandant Yang, being extremely sparing with words, uttered only one.
"Wait? Are we waiting for reinforcements to come to Hangu Pass?" the lieutenant asked thoughtfully.
“That’s right!” Captain Yang said softly again.

At this time, the number of troops on the east bank also increased!
Under the command of a great general, they formed a loose formation.
However, what they held in their hands were powerful weapons.
"Prepare!"
At a command, more than two thousand archers aimed at the river and raised their bows diagonally upwards, waiting for the boats to come into range.
Sudden!
A howling wind rises over the river!
More than fifty thick arrows soared into the air and shot towards the shore!
"cut!"
The general was still scoffing, asking how anyone could possibly hit something from such a distance.
