I have to say that those that are fired inside the level are indeed arrows and not crossbow arrows.

The ballista's crossbow bolts do not have much requirements for the tail fin, after all, the ballista itself is mainly flat-fired, and it is less affected by the wind. But the arrows shot from Tongguan are definitely arrows, and the tail of each one is specially made of metal or something else to make the tail fin, to ensure the stability of the arrow in the air and reduce the impact of the wind.

It's unclear exactly how these massive arrows were fired, but they must have resembled catapults. If you want to talk about the characteristics of this projection method, that is, you can avoid the obstacles of the soldiers in front of you, shoot directly into the enemy formation, and carry out a covering attack, which is already very valuable.

Unlike the Ballista, it forgoes the advantage of straight line penetration, but increases the range of attack. This huge arrow fell from the sky, and even with armor, it was afraid that it could be shot through directly. Without him, even the helmet couldn't be made too thick, it would be too wasteful of iron, after all, it was not a matter of two soldiers. The large arrow hit the helmet, and even if it didn't penetrate, the huge concussion was enough to make the soldier unconscious.

"There are ten voices in total, which means that the other party has prepared this transmitter like this. That's about five hundred, which means that each launcher can fire about fifty arrows. At this distance, this weapon of war is indeed very powerful, especially when dealing with enemy forces in formation, it has a very good effect on breaking the formation. "Xu Le is the commander of the siege battalion, and he naturally knows more about siege equipment than others.

Listening to his explanation, Ma Dai also had a preliminary understanding of this weapon.

"What is the effective range?" Pound asked suddenly.

"The first time is often a test launch, which means that the range may be reduced, and it looks like it can shoot at least two or three miles away. I suggest that while the next wave of the opponent has not yet been shot, it is better for us to retreat a mile! Xu Le suggested.

In fact, at the time of these words, he had begun to retreat back only as a soldier of the siege camp.

Ma Dai and the others couldn't make up their minds, but in the end they decided to believe the expert's words and retreated a mile. But I didn't want to start walking far before the opponent's arrow shot out. Fortunately, I listened to Xu Le's words. Stepping back a bit, most of the arrows didn't do damage, but a few still landed in the formation.

It turns out that the weapon is only afraid of an effective firing range. It's really between two and three miles. To be able to shoot such a large arrow over such a long distance is quite peculiar.

"Shoot back!" Xu Le started to fight back with only the people below.

The distance of three miles was nothing more than a trivial for the Xiangyang Cannon, and after adjusting the angle, fifty rounds of stone bullets quickly flew towards the side of the level. At least more than 30 shots hit the city gate directly. Directly dented the city gate.

After a while, the opponent fired the arrow again, but did not do any damage. At this point, the effective killing range of the opponent's war weapon can finally be determined.

"Launch!" Xu Le shouted again, and the trebuchet quickly fired a third shot.

At this moment, the city gate, which had begun to bend, was finally overwhelmed and smashed open. Today's Tongguan has completely become a state of undefense. As long as you can rush to the city gate, then you can basically kill directly into the gate!

"General, please wait, we will have a fourth bombardment later!" Xu Le saw that Ma Dai was about to give an order, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Isn't this door already open?" Ma Dai didn't know what he meant, so he asked.

"Although the gate was open, the road used to be full of pitfalls and rejecting pistols. And we don't know what exactly awaits us inside the level.

To be on the safe side, our men will first blast out all the defenses on the periphery to ensure the smooth advance of the army. It will also shoot a few more times towards the inside of the gate, ensuring that the army enters the interior. There will be no danger. Xu Le smiled and slowly explained to Ma Dai and the others.

Ma Dai and the others are not fools, and their IQ is not weak after being strengthened by martial spirits. I didn't think of this, mainly because of my previous experience. Ultimately. They are not accustomed to attacking the enemy's cities with such advanced siege methods.

Ma Teng was originally just a small official in Xiliang, and later killed Liangzhou Taishou to rebel, and basically spent all these years on horseback. The cities in Liangzhou are not very high, and the cloud ladder is enough. It's more of a field war, especially against those nomads. Therefore, for the Ma family. Even the people of Liangzhou really did the war with real guns.

There are very few cases where siege weapons are used, and simple rams and ladders may already be considered 'high-tech'.

Seeing that Fang Jun and Liu Jun are constantly bombarding each other with war weapons, even fools can see that the era of real swords and real guns may slowly pass, and future wars will inevitably invest all kinds of war weapons on a large scale. Maybe at that time, the legion-level soldier war, I'm afraid it will slowly disappear.

However, he was actually a little too pessimistic.

To make siege equipment, you must first have materials, right? At the same time, it is necessary to fight for the science and technology tree, and the cultivation of craftsmen is a problem. One of the biggest drawbacks of a bow or crossbow is the bowstring. With ordinary hemp rope or something, it can't be shot through at all, and the penetration is not strong. Only the use of animal tendons can ensure strong elasticity, increasing their range and penetration.

But the beast tendon is not a thing that fell from the sky, it must be obtained by slaughtering wild beasts, and the best bowstring material is actually cow tendon, of course, other beasts can also be, but the effect may not be as good as beef tendon.

The question arises, how many beasts can the princes of the inland regions take the tendons? Even if Liu Bei and Cao Cao worked hard to raise cattle and sheep, they were afraid that they would not be able to make siege equipment on a large scale, so there were only ten siege equipment in Tongguan, not because they didn't want to take more, but there were not many that could be made. Even if it is these ten, if you can get here, I am afraid that it will be a decision to hesitate for a long time.

As for Cao Jun's side, he was able to waste those war weapons so generously, mainly because they were the eliminated parts. Since the molds are not uniform, this means that there is no way to take them apart and put them on a new weapon. These old weapons are just waiting to be scrapped, and it is better to use them for a test, that's all.

Under Xu Le's command, a large number of stone bullets continued to plow on the ground. Liu Beijun originally arranged a horse trap, a trench or a horse rejection gun array. All of them were directly destroyed. The road ahead was directly paved with stone bullets, and the army could charge at any time.

As for the city gate, four stone projectiles were projected into it, and more than 70 stone projectiles were directly bombarded towards the pass. There were some wails from the distance. At the same time, the sound of some equipment being smashed was heard.

"Well, the general is ready to charge at any time. But the situation inside is not yet clear, I hope the general is careful! Xu Le finally stopped the bombardment and stepped forward to say to Ma Dai and the others.

"Thank you, General Xu, for your support! The whole army obeys the order and charges! Ma Dai bowed to Xu Le. Then the order was given. The army quickly gathered and rushed towards the checkpoint in a cone formation.

However, before they could rush over, a team of men and horses were killed inside, and the general led by him stepped forward and shouted: "Donglai Taishi Ci again, do thieves dare to fight with me?" ”

Tai Shici is one meter nine tall, and he is twenty-eight years old at the moment, and his sword eyebrows look straight at Fang Jun angrily. At this moment, he is wearing a dragon soul helmet, a dragon head chain armor, and dragon leather boots (crocodile leather boots) on his feet. Holding the Soul Slayer Halberd. Riding a red-maned fire dragon horse, he is carrying the bow of the Falling Moon God on his chest.

I have to say that with this appearance, B is very tall!

"He's Tai Shi Ci? Just in time, the whole army assaulted and captured him alive! Ma Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gave the order to charge. As for Tai Shici's invitation to fight, he directly ignored it.

It is also said that only when the two armies are in a stalemate will they consider fighting generals. Now the Fang army has a clear advantage. Who's going to play with him? More than 30,000 cavalry here directly crushed over, no matter if he was a congenital military general or something, he had to be captured obediently, otherwise he would be crushed into pulp!

"Huh. Look at the arrows! Seeing this, Tai Shici put the double halberds on both sides of the horse's belly, and directly took off the Falling Moon God Bow and shot it with an arrow.

"Look at the move!" Seeing this, Ma Dai and Pang De directly killed them, and the two of them attacked together, which blocked the arrow.

Even so. The tiger's mouth of the two was also slightly painful. It is said that the two of them are also congenital generals, but congenital generals also have different levels. At most, they have just entered the innate level, and even the realm has not yet begun to consolidate, and the washing of the body has not yet been completed, so it is inevitable that Tai Shici, who has entered the innate level for a year or two, will inevitably suffer a loss.

Tai Shi Ci didn't talk nonsense, he directly changed to a double halberd and killed Ma Dai and them.

"How daring!" Ma Tie, who had been protected by the two of them, was so angry that he directly took the spear and killed him like this.

"Be careful!" Ma Dai couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and quickly killed him to support. Pound also reacted randomly, and rode his horse to kill him as soon as possible.

Ma Tie ran the fastest, and soon began to fight with Tai Shici. As soon as they fought, he began to regret it. This Tai Shi Ci is also a congenital general, every move is powerful, and it is full of innate aura, so that he, a quasi-first-class general, has no power to fight back.

After another fight, Ma Tie's tiger mouth only felt numb, and even began to crack. He knew very well that if he gave this guy another move, then the final result would probably be that he would be beheaded by Tai Shi Ci.

However, Tai Shici took advantage of Ma Tie's hesitation and slashed down with a very fast halberd. If this blow is implemented, then the possibility of Ma Tie's death is very high!

Fortunately, Ma Dai and Pang De also arrived at the first time, and under the combined attack of the two, they finally blocked Tai Shici's blow, and even repelled him. Even so, Tai Shici was not injured and quickly began to fight back.

Ma Dai and Pang De, and even Ma Tie, who was not to be outdone, simply greeted them like this. What one-on-one, it doesn't work with them here, and winning Tai Shi Ci is their main goal!

In this way, the four of them quickly fought together again, and the scene fell into a stalemate again...... (To be continued.) )

PS: Tai Shi Ci fights! What other secret weapon will Liu Bei have?!
