As a powerful weapon for siege in ancient times, the bed crossbow has existed in China for more than a thousand years. Because of its great power, it is favored by soldiers.

The tool of the bed crossbow was the longest-range killer among the Han army in ancient wars. It was not only widely used to defend cities, but also widely used to siege cities. The power of the bed crossbow when the two armies faced each other was second, especially when siege cities, it was even more powerful when installing a siege hammer.

The so-called siege hammer is not a big hammer, but a spear with a thick tailless feather like a gun. It is generally made of fine iron, aiming at the city wall with a powerful bed crossbow, and shooting it into the city wall in turn from under the city wall to form a series of simple siege ladders, climbing for the soldiers of the ants to be launched as a ladder. Since there are a large number of siege crossbows to shoot a large number of siege hammers on the city wall, soldiers of the ants can hold a waist knife with their mouths, hold a shield in one hand, and hold a firm hand with the other hand, and move left and right on the city wall to avoid the rolling wooden stones.

The advantage of climbing upwards over using cloud ladders is that the cloud ladder is fixed in a straight line, and those who climb cannot move left and right, and the casualties are very serious. Secondly, the cloud ladders are climbing one by one. Once the top one is hit, it will cause trouble to the people who follow below. The third is that the cloud ladder is easily pushed down by the guards above with a long pole. Such casualties are a series of deaths and injuries. The most important thing is that there are no need for many soldiers to support the cloud ladder and be killed by tinder oil on the city. This not only reduces manpower and casualties.

With these benefits, the ancient Han people took good care of the construction technology of bed crossbows. Once the battle formation fails, the first thing the official army has to do is to burn the bed crossbows and not to fall into the enemy. Once the bed crossbow is discarded, no matter whoever is, they will be severely punished. In addition, the bed crossbows are very complicated. The operation of a bed crossbow requires many people or even nearly a hundred people to work together to achieve their effectiveness. It is not something that foreign tribes who are still in the ignorant era can imitate. But now the bed crossbows are still bulky and cumbersome. What is the point of the bed crossbows of the Chuang Army. Under the principle of Lu Shi using a large number of levers and fixed pulley moving pulley sets, it is easy to operate with just a few people?

Now the Ganquan Vacation Station does not have iron-made siege hammers. It was a luxury. Even if it was originally available, it was sold by military households or made into hoes and sickles. How could it be left until now? In fact, this crossbow is too conspicuous. Shangfeng must be inspected every year to keep it until now. Otherwise, the iron parts mechanism above would not be spared, and even these woods would become firewood.

Since there is no professional siege hammer to build it, it is too late to build it, so you can only use a gun to replace the crossbow arrows.

The crossbow was ready. Looking at his companions, the tiger cannon and the elm-blower, the effect was vain. At that time, he kept laughing at them. When he received the order, the military households who had enough food and drink rolled up their sleeves and showed their skills, so that they could see the power of their only remaining technical troops.

At the same time, I also saw that after the previous attacks, Qianhu also placed all his hopes on people like him, especially Zhang Yuan, the big financial owner, who was lying under the banner, full of desire. As long as he made contributions, some rewards would fly over, and his family would have a better life in the year.

With Qianhu's orders, the crossbow soldiers who were waiting for the front line in front of the formation spit on their hands after receiving the orders, and shouted: "Boys, stay away and see if the man is showing his power." As he said that, he picked up a big wooden hammer and smashed it hard at the crossbow of the crossbow. As the shaking bowstrings trembled, a row of crossbow arrows tear apart the air and flew to the fortress in order of height and height.

As the five javelins turned into five black shadows and roared away, everyone stretched their necks and stared at them, hoping that a miracle would happen this time.

Ten large ones flew towards the fortress with sharp whistling sounds and pierced towards the ice wall with force. But the moment the crossbow arrows touched the ice wall, one by one was broken into powder like a skeleton that met a steel plate, and none of them were inserted into the ice wall. This was once again beyond everyone's expectations. This illegitimate ice castle really had a Vajra-like indestructible body. You can't hurt a slight hair when you go to trouble all the time, but what can you do?

Zhang Yuan looked at the power of the crossbow arrow with huge expectations, and then turned into huge disappointment. He retracted his sore neck and turned his head to look at Qianhu, who was blushing and purple, and didn't know what to say. After a long time, he poked his fat body out of his body on the horse and asked tentatively: "General, what should I do next?"

Before Qianhu could reply, a child of the Chen family sneered behind him, "No wonder the dignified official army was blocked by hundreds of bandits at home and could not get out. The relationship was only two tricks. Military households for generations were just for free. It seemed that we had to rely on the brave men to suppress the thieves."

The sound was not loud, but it was even more deafening to Qianhu's ears than a thousand shrews blocking the door and cursing.

As the saying goes, if you hit someone or not, especially if you are blocked at home, it is indeed not nice to say it out loud. No matter what your situation is or what your thoughts are.

"Brothers of the Guards, archers?" Qianhu ordered loudly with red eyes. In this sarcasm, he also became competitive. He was no longer dealing with Zhang Yuan, but fighting for his own face.

When the general order was fired, the military households of the garrison had a big accident. Didn’t we just agree that we would just help? Why did we suddenly let us go on the battle? But it’s okay to go on the battle, but you always don’t know. Just those of us now can still shoot arrows? Just want to shoot arrows, what about the bows and arrows? We have all been sold by you. As long as your personal soldiers still have dozens of bows and arrows in the facade, how do you ask us to shoot arrows?

Zhang Yuan looked at the dozens of personal archers from thousands of families who rushed out of the formation. Even if he didn't understand military affairs, he knew that some archers should use the number of numbers to win against the fortress. These dozens of people were not worth mentioning at all. This time, the general was definitely the one who did the act of acting with impulse after hearing his brother's ridicule.

So he quickly leaned forward and said, "General, the official army is all old army. He is responsible for supervising and educating us and fighting. He should not go on the battlefield personally. Please mobilize our village archers to come forward, and all the soldiers will be supervising next to you." This is Zhang Yuan's smooth work and he found a way for the angry thousand households.

After Zhang Yuanyi said that, Qianhu's forehead was immediately reduced, and he felt that he was too energetic. As a military household for generations, he knew that he had committed a taboo of commanders. He took a deep breath, bowed to Zhang Yuangong, and said lightly: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for reminding me, otherwise I would have committed an impulse taboo." He said in a deep voice: "I'll ask Lord Zhang to mobilize the archer in the village."

These thousand households are so open and honest. Right is right, wrong is wrong, absolutely unambiguous. Zhang Yuan felt aroused in his heart and said sincerely: "I said that all the local brave men are all dispatched by the general." He smiled and joked with a smile: "Changing the commander in the last battle is a taboo for military strategists."

The two looked at each other and laughed together, and everything went away.

The archers in the official army, the archers in the Zhang Yuan Township Yong, as well as those landlords and powerful guards who were dependent on the landlords and powerful people who were good at using bows and arrows came forward one after another, and were organized by thousands of personal soldiers. There were about a thousand people. Under the supervision of Shangguan, they hurried to the fortress and lined up crooked formations in the land of one arrow. They opened their bows and arrows in the fortress. With the waving of the commander's flag, a gust of bowstrings like a storm trembled, and arrows like dark clouds pounced on the top of the fortress. The heaven and earth were dark, and the howling sounded the heaven and earth.

At this time, no one observed the effect of the bow and arrow. He just mechanically shot feather arrows at the top of the city, allowing the feather arrows like wasps to turn the thief on the fortress into a hedgehog.

When the archers were in battle, Cao Meng ordered the brothers in the city to take off the double layer of vine armor on their backs and lift it onto the secondary wall, which just blocked the gap between the fortress's giant wood roof and the secondary wall.

The double-layered vine armor on the Chuangjun's body was divided into two pieces, instead of being one in front and back like the traditional vine armor. This was designed by Lu Shi for two purposes. Once facing the enemy's arrow rain attack, just take off the double-layered vine armor behind and turn it into a rattan card, which has an amazing effect.

The rainy feather arrow flew to the top of the city, or flew to the top of the cover or pierced on the vine armor, and there was no killing effect at all. There was only one brother who accidentally made a gap in the vine armor wall. The dense feather arrows immediately penetrated into the gap and shot the brother's shoulder. Fortunately, the front vine armor was still there, and the weak feather arrows were there. The brother did not hum and tried hard to hold the vine armor in his hand and block the gap.

Listening to the sound of hitting the vine armor like a storm, Cao Meng laughed and encouraged his brothers: "Hahaha, Zhang Yuan is so generous. He knows that we lack feather arrows, so he sent us so many. In fact, Zhang Yuan is too stingy. We were overtaken by his feather arrows, but we don't have a bow yet. You should be a good person to do it to the end. Sending a hundred bows is serious." It caused all the brothers to laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere became much more relaxed.

More than a hundred feather arrows shot too high, and by chance they fell into the huge skylight in the center of the fortress and fell into the bottom of the fortress.

The skylight was not left on purpose, but when the fortress was built, there was a place where two hundred people could sit and rest. It was completely covered with such a large space but not that long wood, so a skylight was left.

When Cao Meng saw this, he hurriedly ordered the captain of the team six to look at the top of the city, and hurriedly followed the ladder to the bottom of the fortress to check the casualties.

When he went down to the bottom, Cao Meng was relieved. It turned out that the people at the bottom also took off their vine armor and set up a large tent with a layer of vine armor, so no one was injured at all. Cao Meng was even more relieved after inspecting it. He was about to climb the city with his feet raised. Suddenly something made him feel wrong. There should be two hundred people below to rest. It seemed that there were dozens of people more? He turned around quietly and counted carefully. Yes, there were indeed ten more people hiding in the corner, lowering his head and not saying a word. Cao Meng was all in the dead at that time.
