(Thank you for the monthly ticket support, thank you!) ）

A dense rain of arrows fell, and some of the crows in the charge fell off their horses with arrows. At this time, the people of Keshatuo also showed their extremely strong side, although some people in the charging team kept falling, but they were not afraid at all, and the charge did not stop at all.

"Catapults, ballistas ready!" At the head of the city, Li Jing ordered loudly.

Due to the rush from Hedong all the way, there are not many heavy equipment, most of them are just medium-sized crossbow machines such as Fuyuan crossbows brought by the Zhendong Army, which are all standard parts produced and can be disassembled and assembled at any time. Now the city head of Feng'an has 300 Fuyuan heavy crossbows with a range of 300 steps, and there are 20 large three-bow crossbows, which are commonly known as the Baniu crossbows, and two extra-large winch crossbows.

The range of the Fuyuan crossbow is 300 paces, and it takes two people to open the bow. The three-bow bed crossbow is more powerful, it takes 30 people to work together to open the crossbow, the arrow is made of hard wood as the shaft, and the iron piece is used as the feather, and the world is known as "one gun and three sword arrows" with a range of up to 500 steps. And the largest winch crossbow, full of twelve stone strength, need more than 100 people to winch the shaft to open the string, to the shaft to turn the car to open the bow, there are seven arrows on the crossbow arm, the center of the arrow road rests a huge arrow, "three feet five inches long", "five inches thick", with the iron leaf as the feather, the left and right sides each put three slightly smaller arrows, all the arrows are fired together, "the city fortress in the center is all destroyed, and the building is also upside down".

This bed crossbow is even more powerful than the gunpowder that the Firearms Bureau has now. A clay pot filled with fifty pounds of gunpowder was projected up the tower, and the damage caused by the explosion was not too great. But if it is hit by this giant arrow in the middle of the winch crossbow, the gate tower over there can be directly destroyed. Shoot into the city wall and nail it directly into the wall. However, this bed crossbow is difficult to make. and difficult to move. Very precise. There are many defenses of the city, but few field battles. In the Zhenguo army, there are only two.

"One-two-three, one-two-three!"

A burst of trumpets sounded, and hundreds of people under the walls of the city began to transfer wheels, stretching their bows. The two-seater lathe crossbow was too big and required too much manpower to be placed on the city. It can only be placed in the city, but fortunately, this crossbow has a range of 700 paces and up to two miles, so it has already set a target after the pre-firing. As soon as the castle discovered that the enemy cavalry had entered the range target of the cart, he immediately ordered the launch.

Several Hercules loaders carried a three-foot-and-five-inch long, five-inch thick crossbow bolt with a prismatic iron spear head and loaded it into the bed crossbow, and the other two guillotines were each mounted with three slightly smaller arrows.

"Put!"

The two bed crossbows were also commanded by a team leader officer. After seeing that the loading was completed, he immediately ordered the bow to be opened and the string to be released. A few loud thunderbolts. Fourteen crossbow arrows whizzed away, straight into the sky.

The Shatuo cavalry, who was charging under the city under the rain of arrows, suddenly heard a loud whistling sound overhead, and couldn't help but look up in unison. I saw several huge crossbow arrows flying in the air, and they came in a blink of an eye.

The huge crossbow arrow flew down, directly piercing a Shatuo cavalry that hit a person and a horse into two, and then the remaining momentum continued to rush forward, like a comb combing, instantly taking away the lives of more than a dozen horsemen, plowing a blank area in the formation of the Shatuo people, and finally nailing a Shatuo cavalry to the ground.

Fourteen arrows killed dozens of horsemen in a blink of an eye, especially the two oversized heavy crossbows, which directly swept out two blanks in the densely charging Shatuo people's array. Immediately after this wave of sharp blows, the catapult also began to exert its power.

In order to reduce the casualties of the small town national army, Li Jing also used the Divine Fire and the Heavenly Fire, which had been useless since arriving in Hedong. These things are also very scarce in Li Jing's hands, but this time Li Jing took them out directly regardless of his blood.

Dozens of fireballs fell from the sky, like a meteor shower, and smashed into the charging array of the Shatuo people. The stone bullet with a large human head fell down, and as long as it hit, all the Shatuo people were immediately stoned to death with men and horses.

However, the attack of the Zhenguo army did not make Li Keyong back down. On the contrary, it aroused their ferocity more and more, and they rushed more violently and quickly.

"Kill!" Li Keyong's heart was dripping blood, but he knew that they had no way out, forward, there was still a glimmer of life, and backward, they would be completely dead without a place to be buried.

Suddenly, the sky darkened again, and three hundred crossbows and three thousand crossbowmen fired their arrows at the same time, as well as twenty eight-ox crossbows, two winch crossbows, and thirty catapults. Huge clouds of arrows covered the sky, a rain of arrows mixed with a rain of stone bullets and fireballs, and a waterfall of metal fell from the sky. The first round of arrow rain just now didn't kill much, but this time, a third of the Shatuo people who rushed in front were enveloped in it. Li Ke, who rushed to the front, was slammed into the front as if he was hit by a huge invisible hand, and the whole person flew upside down from the horse, and his body twisted into a bow in mid-air, and fell directly to the ground seven or eight steps away.

He was hit by the crossbow arrow of the bed crossbow, and the standard crossbow arrow hit his left shoulder blade directly, shattering the shoulder guard bronze lion on his armor with a single blow, and after piercing his armor, directly shattered his left shoulder blade, and then the whole person was nailed to the ground.

However, in the midst of Rick's misfortune, the crossbow arrow was only a relatively small crossbow in the bed crossbow, not the main crossbow arrow. The part of the hit was also lucky, but it only hit the shoulder blade, and if it was a little further to the right, it was straight into the heart. Li Sizhao quickly returned to his horse and arrived, pulled out the crossbow gun, and directly lifted Li Keyong from the ground to his horse, preventing Li Keyong from dying under the trampling of his own war horse.

For a time, the entire southern part of Feng'an City was like a volcano that suddenly erupted, and countless arrows covered the sky. Under this terrifying and uninterrupted rain of arrows, even the most powerful crow army looks extremely brittle.

Although the cavalry rushing in the front row wore iron armor and horse leather armor, and also held a cavalry round shield in one hand, but in such a storm of arrows, they couldn't stop it at all, and even people and horses were accidentally shot into hedgehogs.

It was definitely the worst nightmare. Screams, groans, blood, death, panicked men and horses trampling each other, horses' hooves, screaming, arrows raining down like locusts, and the shrill wind of arrows breaking through the air filled the space, driving the bravest Shatuo warriors mad. Arrows everywhere! Arrow! Arrow!

Between the lightning and flint, as if suddenly struck by a violent lightning, the cavalrymen in the front line turned on their backs, and there were constantly Shatuo cavalry spraying blood flowers in the air, screaming and throwing dust from their horses. The body was pierced in an instant, and the arrow shot the second person into the air with blood flowers; Some people were even nailed to the ground by the whole person, and blood flowers bloomed in mid-air. The soldiers screamed and cried, and you hit me and pushed me into a ball and trampled on each other; Someone lay down to dodge, but the panicked war horse stepped on the back of the head, and the brains splashed. The cavalry continued to fall, and the short, high-pitched terrible screams of the near-death wounded, the horses of the wounded by arrows rolling on the ground, and the long neighing were terrible.

At this time, even the extremely powerful Shatuo people began to be afraid.

Rick hung weakly with one of his left arms, and the strips of cloth were haphazardly wrapped around it to temporarily stop the bleeding. He got back on his horse, and changed his right hand to a horizontal knife, like a crazy shout: "Rush, rush, rush, even if you are the last person left, you must rush forward." ”

The cavalry formation continued to charge, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live Shatuo!" "Although there were arrows falling from their horses at every moment, the huge array was advancing with a roar of hooves, unstoppable like a mountain flood and tsunami. In an instant, a scream of grabbing the ground sounded from the front, and the wounded and fallen cavalry trampled the hooves of their own horses. To vent their powerless anger, the cavalrymen tore open the collar of their leather robes in a rage and howled long with their bare chests.

Seeing that the Shatuo people had approached and began to mount and shoot on their horses, Wang Zhong hurriedly waved his banner, and the three thousand strange soldiers at the front of the phalanx blocked their shields in front of him and shouted loudly.

Li Jing ordered at the head of the city, "All catapults obey the order, take a hundred steps in front of the formation as the goal, and put them all together!" ”

The sound of crackling and crackling reeds sounded continuously, like countless birds skimming the sky, throwing stones with a mournful whistling sound falling from the sky, and thundering again fell into the dense Shatuo cavalry formation. Shields and armor can ward off arrows, but they can't stop the slings. No shield or armor could stop the stones falling from the sky, and one by one the Shatuo people were smashed off their horses, and even directly smashed their skulls.

Backward is death, and moving forward is death.

The Shatuo people did not collapse, they became fanatical.

Thousands of cavalry braved the rain of arrows and stone bullets and shouted wildly, and the soldiers and horses rolled and charged forward.

The heavens and the earth were filled with terrible shocking waves, and the dense raindrops of boulders and arrows violently bombarded the sea of people, splashing terrifying bright red waves, waves of flesh and screams. With this kind of decisive attack, not caring about casualties and fearless sacrifices, the Black Crow Army advanced step by step, until it finally reached the front of the Tang Army.

Seeing that they had finally rushed to the front of the Tang army, the Shatuo people burst out in exclamation, "Shatuo, Shatuo, Shatuo!" ”

With chanting, the Shatuo people who rushed in the front row turned a blind eye to the forest of stabbing spears flashing with countless cold lights in front of them, and directly rode their horses and crashed into them one after another.

The sound of the bayonet piercing into the belly of the war horse, the sound of the bayonet spear not being able to withstand the impact of the war horse and the knight breaking, and the sharp sound of the spear of the Shatuo people on the horse piercing the iron shield of the Tang army. The horses were shot and screamed, and the knights roared in despair before they died

The Shatuo people were attacking the Tang army's strange shield array with their lives, and one after another the Shatuo soldiers rushed in, but gradually, the Shatuo people found that the Tang army's front was stronger than any of the opponent's infantry shield formations they had encountered. Under such a fierce collision, they did not collapse at all.

The Crows were blocked, their speed slowed down, and they couldn't rush in. Like a wave hitting a reef, they beat fiercely and violently, but after the waves, the reef is still there. (To be continued......)
