The two-person volcanic crossbow is a medium-sized long-range device, which is difficult for one fighter to operate, and generally requires two people to work together. However, compared with the big crossbows such as the eight-ox crossbow and the bed crossbow, it is much lighter, and it is team-level equipment. This kind of crossbow is not as good as the eight-bull crossbow bed crossbow, which uses an iron crossbow spear, and the lethality is not great. But the victory is not bad in accuracy, with a range of 300 steps, and the highest accuracy and lethality within 100 steps. Many Qin soldiers liked to use the Fuyuan double crossbow as a blocking crossbow to block and kill enemy officers.

To operate this kind of crossbow, it takes experience, and ordinary people can only deal with dense enemy soldiers with it. If you want to block it, it's impossible. But those veterans can often be used as blockers, and they are extremely accurate. This is a kind of equipment with mixed evaluations, if it is used well, it is an artifact, and if it is not used well, it is not as good as a bow and arrow.

Hearing Zhao Zhang's order, a group of experienced veterans in the capital were all gearing up, and it was time for them to perform. At this time, the recruits could only follow behind to help open the crossbow and aim at such a difficult job, but they could only watch the veterans operate with envy.

A Hu man who was picking up thistles heard a sound of breaking through the air, and as soon as he looked up, a crossbow arrow had hit the door in front of him, and he fell down.

"Hit! Shot! The recruit next to the third child who helped to open the crossbow shouted excitedly, this is a hundred steps away, and an arrow actually hit the enemy's door. With such a skill, no wonder he is the ace gunner of all the capital, usually the third child is not active, and Zhao Zhang, the head of the capital, takes care of him so much, he used to think that the third child is a relative of Zhao Zhang. Now I understand, it turns out that the third child really has an amazing craft, and he has a craft. Sure enough, I'm not afraid of mixing up wherever I go. A hundred paces away with a crossbow to block the enemy, it is estimated that he is the only one who has this ability.

"Boy, there's still a lot to learn." The third child is also full of pride, in fact, he is not sure about the crossbow just now. One point of ability, nine points of luck, but he won't tell the truth to a newcomer. This kid is usually reluctant to let him run an errand, but now, he is shocked by himself.

"Third brother. You can teach me too. I'm a soldier of your gang. If we also have this skill, wouldn't I kill the enemy to earn face for you, the captain? Zhang Daniu smiled at Zhang San with a flattering face. Zhang San smiled, "My ability has been passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors, and there are regulations on my ancestors." It is easy not to pass on to outsiders. ”

"Third brother. Or I will worship you as a teacher. I'm your disciple, so I'm not an outsider. ”

"Apprentice, this is a very serious matter. I'll have to think about it again, and see how you do. Zhang San said while winding.

"Master, you can accept me, I will cover all your clothes in the future, and I will also give you wine, and I will make a good wine to honor you."

"Well, it looks like you're sincere, but you have to look at your qualifications, come on, now you come and aim for the crossbow! I'll teach you! If you can shoot one today, I'll agree to you being my apprentice. ”

"Great, Master Xie Xie."

"Don't be in a hurry to call the master first, before you shoot the enemy, let's call the third brother."

There are not many double Fuyuan crossbows in Zhao Zhang's capital, but in the entire southern array, there are enough ten artillery capitals and hundreds of Fuyuan crossbows to shoot, and the same lethality is not small. The thousand-man team responsible for cleaning the battlefield was shot from time to time. Not many people were killed, but the pace of cleanup slowed down significantly.

Barra clenched his teeth, this was not going to work, the war drums behind him were urging, and they didn't have time to wait so slowly.

"Dismount and move forward!"

In desperation, Bara had no choice but to order the soldiers to dismount and advance, while cleaning up the thistles, and then get on their horses and charge.

In this way, the speed of the Hu people is almost gone. The cavalry turned into infantry, holding shields and began to pick mushrooms on the ground.

As soon as Zhao Zhang's side saw that the Hu people had dismounted, he immediately waved his hand and ordered a new round of shelling. This time, it was still the shooting of catapults and ballistas.

It came again so soon, Bala's heart tightened, and sure enough, there was another roar. There was a cracking sound in his ear, followed by a hot wind blowing across his face, and behind him there was the sound of a crossbow gun stabbing into the ground. Barra felt the crossbow almost fly through his face, and the hot sensation seemed to burn half of his face. From time to time, there were screams nearby, and his hands involuntarily clenched a little, and it was obvious that the Qin people's shelling had hit his warriors again.

You have to persevere!

Barra was unmoved this time and insisted on giving the order to move forward. On the way forward, amid the roaring roar, screams followed one after another, and from time to time someone was hit. This feeling of being beaten and not fighting back is really bad, but the distance is too far, and their archers can only fire their bows at a distance of less than sixty paces to have enough lethality. Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and you'll be within a hundred steps. At that time, he directly got on his horse and charged, and broke through in front of these Qin cowards who only knew how to hide their heads and tails in one fell swoop.

But it was also difficult for them to come quickly, and there were many thistles on the ground that needed to be cleaned up, and they would not dare to charge until they were cleaned up. And they didn't dare to get too close to it, otherwise, they would attract a burst of shells at any time. They can only do this, passively and be beaten, and under that kind of shelling, no matter how good the shield is, it is useless. There is only one dead word when you are hit, and this feeling of never knowing who the next shell will hit on the head is really terrible.

In this fear, another round of shelling came. This time it was a crockpot that flew in, and the crockpot quickly enlarged in his eyes, and slammed into his left twenty paces away, followed by a torrent of splinters.

Barra's face changed drastically, and he fell to the ground violently, and with a bang, his majestic horse neighed, and the leather armor on the horse's neck was directly cut into a piece of broken iron, and blood spurted out. At this moment, another thing slammed into his back, smashing him to the ground, and he turned his head to see that he was still intact. Only then did he notice that what had hit him was not a Qin cannonball, but the head of a Murowei warrior. There was only one head, neatly cut from the neck, and the warrior's face was still wide open, with a desperate fear of dying.

He looked behind him, where there was also a headless corpse of the warrior.

Extreme fear welled up in his heart, but it only stimulated the fierce nature in his heart.

He kicked the head away with a slam and kicked it away, raising his machesitar and roaring with a roar of rage, slashing a tribal soldier to the ground as he was turning and fleeing, and then glared around at his terrified men.

"You were all eagles on the grassland, tigers on the grassland, and wolves on the grassland, and now, are you frightened by a few shells from the Qin army?" He was furious, his eyes were as wide as a cowbell, and he shouted with all his might: "Rush up, hack those Qin people to death, kill them all, avenge our brothers, kill Li Jing, the entire east of the Tang Dynasty is ours, their women, their money and grain, their land, all are ours, go on!" ”

"Kill all the Southern Barbarian Qin Dogs!" The cornered tribal warriors also burst out of their savage nature, their hearts of desperation. One by one, they shouted and turned over their horses, this is only a hundred steps away from the camp of the Qin people, and they can charge. Rush over, with the speed of a war horse, and crush them.

The war drums of the Hu people's army became more and more intense, shaking the heavens and the earth, resounding throughout the Baishui Plain.

Bara heard fierce roars from the other two sides, and he knew that his two brothers must have been hit by the same fire. This Qin army is really different, and the only way to deal with them is to rely on the speed of cavalry and cavalry to get close to the battle.

Qin army position.

In front of the two artillery battalions in the southern position, there were 500 flying thunder guns in the front and rear trenches, and at this time, Li Jing transferred another batch of artillery into battle. This was the first time that the Hu people attacked, and they had to deal a heavy blow, and this was a crucial time to weaken the morale of the enemy and boost the morale of the already troops. If the first formation could not be defeated, it would be difficult to deal with the 70,000 enemy troops with only 20,000 men.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of the Hu people, the soldiers of the Qin army stood quietly in the trenches, and no one even showed their heads to watch what was happening.

"One hundred and fifty paces away, three rounds of artillery and oil bombs, ten rapid fire shots of flying thunder cannons, flying thunder loading, ten bursting shots!"

The gunners were ready to reload, one hundred and fifty paces, which was within the effective range of two hundred paces of the Flying Thunder Cannon. At this distance, the Flying Thunder Cannon has a high damage, and it is also a safe defensive distance.

The first round was a fire oil bomb, and the black crockpots were carefully placed on the catapult. As soon as the shells were placed, the commanders immediately gave the order to fire, and the gunners lit the fuse, then opened the hook lock, loosened the rope, and suddenly in a rapid sound, one by one the canisters of fire oil rose into the sky.

A platoon of observers poked their heads out of the trenches, held their goggles to carefully observe the landing point of the shells, and then loudly turned back to report, asking the gunners to calibrate the target and continue firing. The gunners, loaders, and grenadiers didn't care what was happening outside the trenches, they just kept their heads busy with nervousness. The artillerymen are well-trained in peacetime, and the most important thing for each other is tacit understanding. They just set off the guns, and the rest is not in the scope of consideration.

However, listening to the crackling and screaming outside, they still had the urge to take a closer look.

After three bursts of intense fire from the oil bombs, the Flying Thunder Cannon finally began firing.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the Hu people rode their horses and charged, and their iron hooves stepped on the ground, like a torrential wind and rain, and like a stormy wave, rolling in.

Li Jing, who had been standing on the high arrow tower in the camp, saw the fierce momentum of the Hu people, but the corners of his mouth only showed a sneer of disdain.

In the face of 500 flying thunder cannons, but they still dare to launch a dense charge, should Li Jing praise them for their bravery, or scold them for being stupid?

Five hundred flying thunder cannons can completely build a firepower covering net, this is not a bow and arrow. The rain of arrows can also be blocked with shields, the flying thunder cannon can be killed if touched, and the death will be smashed, and the effect of fire blockade can not be reflected in the fire blockade of one door, two doors, ten doors, and twenty guns, but when five hundred doors are fired together, plus the several trenches in front of the Qin army, it is completely able to smash them into a falling flower.

Well, let's take a look at the Hu people, what is real fire coverage, artillery group bombardment!. (To be continued......)
