Chapter 64: Sun Dashuai bends his bow and shoots the sun
"This task is really difficult!"
Sun Xin stood in the northwest corner of the new Jiangling City and said with emotion, this new city is newly built, and its life span is less than two months, but if it is built by the officials of the Han Dynasty, it will not be possible to achieve it in ten years.
This city is located in the middle reaches of the river, the west of the Jianghan Plain, the south of the river, the north of the Han River, the west of the Bashu, the south of the Nanban, can be described as an important town, especially the building materials used in this city, etc., are obtained by Sun Xin through the system reward, and rely on the system to build, from the beginning to the completion, it took less than a month, the day site selection, the night construction, through this kind of mysterious means, Sun Xin's ruling foundation is more and more stable.
But at this time, he used a melancholy gaze, looking at the Han cavalry that swept outside the city like a torrent, in front of the latter, that is, on the north bank of the Han River, a large number of Han infantry were preparing in formation, this time the Han army dispatched about 50,000 troops, this time it was a big difficulty, fortunately Jiangling City was built, otherwise Sun Xin could only run away.
"Dashuai, the thieves are ready to attack the city!"
The deputy general next to him said nervously at this time, because there were too many elites in the Han army, and there were many famous generals, even Sun Xin looked at the names one by one, and he was terrified.
The old opponent Sun Jian did not say anything, and Sun Jian won and lost, but as long as the number of people is the same, then there is only defeat, although everyone is surnamed Sun, but Sun Xin does not have the force of the Jiangdong Tigers, and he is better than Sun Jian in the art of war.
It's not just Sun Jian who came, at this time outside the north gate, there is another Han army is also arrayed, the most important thing for Sun Xin is a soldier under the banner of Cao Zi, this is Cao Cao, the commander of the army, there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses, but Sun Xin knows that Cao Cao himself is both civil and military, and several of Cao Cao's fellow villagers are no less than the top generals of the Jiangdong Tigers.
The Han army was pushing trebuchets forward, and on both sides of these trebuchets, there were at least 5,000 full-time pioneers preparing for the siege, most of these people were shields and rings, carrying ladders and preparing to charge, obviously they didn't take this person in Jiangling City seriously, and they didn't even bother to make slightly more complicated equipment such as ladders.
"You take two teams of people to the south gate to prevent the Han army from stealing the city!"
Sun Xin took precautions first, on the battlefield, he did everything, and the victor wrote everything, but he had to take all precautions.
"The last general commands!"
A lieutenant general took the order, Sun Xin was very disappointed in these subordinates, he also wanted to have some celebrities, but he was just a yellow turban thief, and famous people would not take refuge in him, when playing the Three Kingdoms series of games, he looked down on those heroes who failed in the four attributes of force, intelligence, politics, and command, but at this time, even such heroes would not take refuge in him.
Although his subordinates seem to be strong, he is really unavailable, otherwise he would not have won the battle, but it is difficult to even capture the Han army general, the Han army general can not break through his battle formation, but he can escape, such as Sun Jian, who has escaped several times.
At this time, the situation is delicate, the Yellow Turban defends the city, the Han army attacks the city, the Yellow Turban guards are powerful, and the Han army is strong in attacking the city, this is because Sun Xin has no generals, in this era, the role of the generals is obvious, leading the army to charge the battle, fighting generals before the battle, this is the weakness of the Yellow Turbans.
Although Sun Xin's force increase is already very high, he does not have the courage of a real general, and he can only exert eight points of ten-point strength, and there are only a dozen people who can be used at this time, which is obviously overstretched for Sun Xin, who rules the entire Nanjun.
Seeing that the trebuchet of the Han army under the city was close to being put away, and it was about to be launched, Sun Xin did not dare to slack off at this time, he also had a trebuchet, and now he was preparing to destroy the trebuchet of the Han army.
The trajectory of the trebuchet can also be calculated, as long as the data provided is qualified, the system is produced, it must be a high-quality product, and the trebuchet is no exception, at this time Sun Xin squatted in front of a trebuchet, began to calculate the distance angle, and at the same time according to the various values of the trebuchet obtained by the previous test shot, calculated the force required by the trebuchet, and then he carried out manual fine-tuning, after the final determination, dozens of pounds of large stones, the stone single whistling out of the flying out, slightly with a little parabola, as if God helped a Han army trebuchet that had just been placed in the middle of a doorAt the same time as smashing the wooden trebuchet of the Han army directly, the stone bullet hit the ground heavily and then bounced slightly, taking away the lives of several Han soldiers who operated the trebuchet.
On the city wall, the yellow scarves who saw this scene immediately cheered.
Sun Xin carried the charcoal pen and walked straight to the other trebuchet that had been placed.
And the yellow turbans behind him adjusted the direction of the trebuchet just now as fast as they could, and just as they were finishing the work, the second trebuchet on the city wall let out an angry roar, still unmistakably outside the direct aiming range, smashing another trebuchet of the Han army, and then a third, but this time it didn't hit as before, only killing a few Han soldiers next to it.
Of course, the calculation formula is no problem, Sun Xin even calculated the wind direction, wind speed and humidity, but he can't guarantee that the strength is not bad at all, and there will inevitably be errors in the manpower-based control, so Sun Xin may still miss.
But this was enough, when Sun Xin carried a charcoal pen, walked leisurely on the city wall for three rounds, the Han army outside the city had worked hard to drag several trebuchets from Xiangyang had all been scrapped, although the extent of damage can still be repaired, but it is not something that can be solved today or even in a short time, and the most important thing is that the morale of the Han army has been severely damaged.
In fact, unlike the general impression, the siege of the city is not a swarm of swarms carrying ladders, and the Han army's siege of the city also relies on equipment to a large extent.
But the Han army is different, for example, before, Wancheng and other cities occupied by the Yellow Turbans, successively captured by the Han army, the most important one is that the Han army prepared equipment, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han army seems to have reacted a little slower, the convening of the army is one of them, followed by the armament of the armament, in order to guard against the ordnance of the Han army, Sun Xincai deliberately built a new Jiangling City, and this time, the Han army is really prepared, these trebuchets are an important reliance on the Han army's trip, and the result has not been launched once, it is all scrapped.
What's more, they were all destroyed at a distance where they couldn't fight back, which was very embarrassing.
Of course, the Han army's trebuchet actually has enough range, and this kind of ordnance has a low technical content, especially since a few months ago, the number of gold books passed down by Yan Guo has added a mechanical chapter, which has given great inspiration to the Han craftsmen.
However, it is a pity that in the Han army, at least in the Han army that Sun Xin is facing now, there is still no one who understands what ballistics is, let alone use a sense of spirit to make a variety of sensors such as rangefinders and crosswind meters, and calculate the corresponding data, so it can only be said that survival forced Sun Xin to this role.
Zhu Jun is not as cruel as Huangfu Song, he is more like a Confucian general, but Sun Xin fell into his hands, but it was also a dead end, Zhang Mancheng and others had already used the corpse to show him the result.
Sun Xin was extremely regretful at this time, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to cross the river, and sent an advance army to cross the river, and sent out nearly 10,000 people before and after, but there were not many people who came back, and the south seemed to be more dangerous.
Sun Xin regretted that he couldn't rush to Jizhou as soon as possible, thinking that the Jizhou Yellow Turban would not be able to hold on early, Zhang Jiao was dead, and then the three Zhang brothers were united in the prefecture one by one.
But now, Sun Xin understands that history has changed, it is already the end of the year, the Yellow Turban has not been extinguished, Zhang Jiao is alive and well, and the three Zhang brothers are also alive and well.
The yellow turbans in the Central Plains and other places were quickly swept away, and Sun Xin, a yellow turban thief living along the river, became a thorn in his side.
Just when the Han army on the city wall was cheering for their commander, at this time Zhu Jun looked at the yellow turban on the head of the city, and was not at all annoyed by the smashing of the trebuchet, at this time he waved his hand expressionlessly, and then the war drum sounded and the flag waved, and the Han soldiers carried the flying ladder and shouted and began to attack Jiangling City, and the archers also immediately shot arrows to provide cover for them at this time.
"Bring me my bow!"
On the city wall, Sun Xinyi stretched out his hand and said.
Now those trebuchets can be used by soldiers, condescendingly bombarded, and they don't need precise aiming, and what he needs is a bow and arrow with a high rate of fire to play his role.
A soldier immediately stepped forward with a giant bow, this thing is different from the horn bow commonly used in the Han army, it is a single bow, but the bow is too big, especially the grip is so thick that it can only be said that it can be held by hand, the length is more than one person high, the bowstring is as thick as a finger, and the overall look looks like a thickened longbow, I am afraid that the legendary Houyi shooting sun bow is like this.
Immediately after Sun Xin, an adjutant general beside him handed over the same special arrow, this arrow is not ordinary, just like a small spear, in the cheers of the soldiers, Sun Xin steadily pulled out the giant bow, and then aimed at a Han army officer who was commanding, suddenly he let go of his hand, the arrow flew out with the sound of the bowstring, with fierce power instantly reached almost two hundred meters away, just at the moment when the Han army officer looked up in astonishment, the small axe-like arrow cluster smashed into his chest.
At this time, any armor is useless, not to mention chain mail and cotton armor, that is, it is replaced with full-body iron armor, in the face of such an arrow, it is also like a piece of paper, the sharp arrow about four feet long instantly penetrated his body, taking him back a few steps backwards, and then he fell down on his back like a piece of wood, he is not a brave general like Sun Jian, and he can't defend against this "cold arrow".
At the same time Sun Xin's second arrow flew out, followed by the second Han officer crucified to the ground, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth......
In less than a minute, Sun Xin was like Hou Yi shooting the sun, and he shot nine arrows with his giant bow one after another, each arrow killed a Han army officer, the terrifying giant feather arrows were like nine flags, stuck in those corpses, and the red tail feathers danced in the wind like a flag, and he held the giant bow, standing on the wall of Jiangling City like a god, looking at Zhu Jun in the distance with an arrogant gaze, and then pulled the bow again.
This time it was a throw, the sharp arrow with red tail feathers, under the impetus of the huge force that originally required at least ten people to pull away, flew obliquely into the sky under the gaze of countless eyes, and almost at the same time a sharp whistle also sounded, which was a whistle specially installed on the arrow, this strange sound shook everyone's hearts like the roar of a beast, and the Han army on the battlefield who was about to run to the moat subconsciously all raised their heads and looked at the red track in the sky with fearful eyes.
At this time, about two miles away, Zhu Jun, who was observing the city wall with a clairvoyant mirror, also had a heartbeat for no reason, but he didn't move, he didn't believe that this arrow could fly to him, and he was also not afraid.
After all, he is also both civil and military, even if his martial arts are not as good as Sun Jian's, but it is not a mere feather arrow that can be helped, but when the whistle of the arrow came to his ears, he still almost subconsciously flicked the horse's head, but at the same time, among the Han cavalry in front of him, a young general suddenly fell off his horse, and a spear-like feather arrow was inserted in his chest.
"It doesn't seem to be of much use!"
On the city wall, Sun Xin said tastelessly, this is not the first time he has used this arrow, he has used it before, he has been ruthless to aim at Sun Jian, you know, according to the legend of his family, his family is the descendant of the Sun family in Jiangdong, this is his ancestor, he wants to destroy the ancestor.
However, although the power of the arrow is very great, it was still easily blocked by Sun Jian, and it was knocked open with a knife, even the four generals of Jiangdong under Sun Jian could easily block it, so Sun Xin aimed at the grassroots generals of the Han army, and these people naturally lacked force and could not block his arrows.
Sun Xin's own strength is already quite high now, and even if he can use his full strength, he can fight with Sun Jian, but he has no fighting spirit, so naturally he can't beat Sun Jian, but archery can, and archery can use the strength of the whole body.
"Dashuai, it would be nice if there were dozens of bows, let's have one bow, if there is no Dashuai's divine power, such a bow is definitely not something that can be pulled away by manpower."
The adjutant general next to him said with a smile on his face at this time.
Manpower is sometimes poor, Sun Xin sighed with emotion, and then asked:
"Is there any brother who can draw the bow?"
Sun Xin naturally does not only have this bow, this bow is a reward of the system, in ten copies, and Sun Xin can't understand what material it is.
"Dashuai, there is really no such thing, I'm afraid that the world will only be able to open such a sun-shooting bow, we don't have such people here."
After the adjutant general said a sad word at this time, he turned to flattery.
Sun Xin will not be so arrogant, not to mention anything else, in the Han army under the city, he is estimated not to be one or two, who knows whether Huang Zhong is not there, and the two Xiahou under Cao Cao are not there, no one knows, not to mention, his battlefield is not the center of the world.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, whether they have left the mountain or not, his news is blocked, these cannot be heard, but they will not be arrogant.
