Chapter 391: Shouchun City Bow and Crossbow
Liu Yu changed into the costume of a small soldier, stood behind the battlements, and looked here, the number of catapults on the opposite side had been greatly reduced, only more than thirty, sparsely pulled, and weakly sending stones.
The curtain at the head of the city is being retracted, because there are tens of thousands of Qin archers, who have lined up and are walking in the direction of the city wall.
The corners of Zhu Lingshi's mouth hooked, he was also wearing leather armor, holding a shield, standing beside Liu Yu, and said: "Master, the enemy army has stepped forward, do you want to use the flying stones behind the city wall to smash it, and the heavy crossbow machine on the head of the city to shoot?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's just archers, don't worry, they also want to reconnoiter the location of our army's heavy killing weapons through such a flying stone siege." Order, the crossbowmen and archers at the head of the city are ready, remove the curtain, in case the enemy army burns our curtain with rockets and ignites the city, the crossbow arrows are used against the whole army of the enemy's heavy soldiers, do not waste it on the archers! ”
Zhu Lingshi smiled slightly, glanced at the densely packed armored sergeants with bows and arrows under the battlements at the head of the city, and said, "No! ”
Wang Yong did not ride a horse, he was holding a long arrow, heavily armored, walking in the middle of the archers, the soldiers on one side were holding thick wooden shields, following him, a small soldier named Hou Hai said nervously: "General, is this really good, isn't there any heavy crossbow arrows in Shouchun City, if we fire it, can we live." ”
Wang Yong smiled slightly, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and continued to walk: "If they really launched, they would have sent it a long time ago, would they still let us come here?" Don't worry, Shouchun's defense is focused on Beicheng, as long as you capture here, other places will not be attacked, if you really hit, you will blame yourself for your life. ”
He suddenly stopped his steps, this position was exactly about eighty steps away from the city, as he stopped, more than 10,000 archers also stopped, only to hear Wang Yong's roar, accompanied by thousands of horns at the same time: "Archers, target city head, ten rounds of simultaneous attack suppression!" ”
Draw the arrow, wind, draw the bow, aim, and then follow the orders of the team leaders, fire in unison, the movements are uniform, more than 10,000 archers, it is as if they are shooting arrows alone, if it is not at the head of the city is the object of shooting, Liu Yu even began to applaud and admire.
But even so, Liu Yu also let out a long sigh: "The Guanzhong soldiers are really worthy of their reputation, in the past, we have seen more of the cavalry of the Qin army as swift as the wind, and the infantry as tenacious as a mountain, but today, we have seen their archers, so well-trained, it is said that the archers are mostly ordinary militiamen, and it is difficult for the people to recruit such discipline, from this point of view, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are really the division of the hegemon." ”
Zhu Lingshi hooked the corners of his mouth, and while raising the big shield to block the arrows in the air for Liu Yu, he said, "Master, do you still have the heart to praise the strength of the enemy army at this time?" Yours is the real thing. However, now that the archers of the Qin army shoot at the head of the city like this, don't we use crossbow arrows to counterattack? ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "There is no need, this is to fight dense infantry, hoplites, you see these archers, they are all scattered, we use big killing weapons to fight, not only will the position be exposed, but it will not have a very good killing effect." That's exactly what Liang Cheng wants us to do. ”
Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Order, continue to lurk, do not move, and when the enemy army advances again, listen to my command to attack!" ”
After ten rounds of feather arrows were fired, the city head was already densely filled with arrows, and a large number of banners were waving in the wind, fluttering in the cold wind of this hunting, but in addition to the sound of the wind showing the battle flag, there was almost no movement in the city, and even coughing or screaming could not be heard, on the battlefield, it looked particularly weird, and all the archers turned their heads to look in the direction of Wang Yong, waiting for his next order.
Wang Yong gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Go on, thirty steps away from the city, and shoot all the arrows for me!" ”
His order was quickly transmitted to the ears of every soldier by various drums and horns, and also to the city, more than 10,000 archers of the Qin army marched forward one after another, Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned his head to look at Murong Nan on the side: "Do you hear the direction of the horn?" ”
Murong Nan nodded, stood up, and on the big bow of five stones and two buckets, there was already a four-tailed iron feather wolf tooth long arrow, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, and he shot an arrow at the place where the horn sound was made just now.
"Wow" A miserable scream came out, the trumpeter beside Wang Yong, the arrow suddenly passed through his neck, the blood hole appeared, and blood spurted out, Wang Yong's face changed, but he only heard a bang sound at the head of the city: "Kill!" ”
Almost in an instant, behind the battlements of the female wall at the head of the city, two thousand archers suddenly stood out, different from ordinary lightly armed archers, these archers were all dressed in heavy armor, and their whole bodies were wrapped in iron armor, and even their faces were wearing all kinds of evil ghost masks, and what they held in their hands was almost a big bow of about three stones, and the wolf's tooth long arrows on it were far longer and more powerful than ordinary arrows, these three thousand archers were none other than the Yuzhou Governor Bow Sharps personally selected by Huan Yi for many years, the way of the bow and arrows, Proud of the world!
And the archers of the Qin army were lining up in a three-line queue this time, speeding forward, the sound of bangzi at the head of the city sounded, they were still moving forward, and the trumpeter beside Wang Yong was killed with an arrow, at this moment, tens of thousands of archers of the Qin army almost did not have any organization and command, and everyone continued to move forward like this, not even stopping or pulling the bow.
Another herald beside Wang Yong immediately came to his senses, quickly picked up the horn in the trumpeter's hand, and was about to blow the stop trumpet, only to hear a "woo" sound, and another arrow flew in, this time he was an arrow in the center of his eyebrows, the arrow pierced through the skull, and he screamed directly, and fell on his back.
Wang Yong yelled: "Quickly blow the trumpet and tell everyone to stop!" As he spoke, he picked up the big bow, wound it with an arrow, and shot an arrow at Murong Nan at the head of the city.
Murong Nan's face changed slightly, the attack of this arrow was fierce, he lowered his head, only to hear the sound of "horn", followed by the sound of "grabbing the ground", the corner of his eyes swept behind him, but it was the bright red helmet on the top of his head, and the arrow was directly shot away, with this flaming tassel tied to the beam behind him, and it was still dangling there.
