Chapter two hundred and eighty third material officer heavy crossbow
"How can I not know what everyone is thinking, but these three-edged nails were originally confiscated. They were not the weapons we carried. Now that they are used up, we can't go to the city to ask for them from the Qin soldiers!"
"Even if you want it, others won't give it to you."
Wang Mi came among the archers and made a few witticisms, which made the anxious soldiers feel relieved and they all showed smiles.
"Secretary Wang is right, we are indeed impatient."
"Brothers, assemble all the bows and crossbows. We can still defeat them with only our own weapons!"
"quick!"
"The Qin soldiers' offensive will start soon!"
With the call from the team leader, the morale of the Beifu soldiers immediately returned, and they quickly loaded the arrows.
In order to cooperate with the frontline operations, the heavy crossbows that Wang Mi had always regarded as a treasure were also pulled out and lined up in a row.
This heavy crossbow, which needs to be stepped on by feet, is pulled out now, and it is overkill.
Each arrow of this kind of heavy crossbow is several feet long, made of fine steel, and weighs as much as a stone. It is truly a heavy weapon.
In the past, in normal positional warfare, this kind of heavy crossbow was used to attack cities.
What kind of siege?
Just use such a heavy crossbow to aim at the enemy's city wall and shoot it hard. If the construction quality of the city wall is average, one such heavy crossbow arrow may be able to knock out a big hole.
After a few sticks were dropped, a wall collapsed.
However, such a sharp weapon is of no use against Xiangyang's city wall. A heavy crossbow falling on the city wall is no different from scratching an itch.
Not only did the Xiangyang city wall remain unscathed, but the crossbow arrows were wasted.
And what are the disadvantages of doing this?
Once such a heavy crossbow is released, your Beifu soldiers will not make any substantial siege actions outside the city, which will expose your true strength to the enemy.
They have no choice but to pull out all these big guys!
When the time comes, the city wall will not be broken, but the cavalry in the city will be recruited.
"Secretary Wang, do you really want to use a heavy crossbow?"
Although the archers in front were confident, those who actually handled the heavy crossbows soon showed worries.
"Is it too early?"
The official was in his early forties and could be considered a veteran in Beifu. Facing his sincere and worried eyes, Wang Mi really couldn't say those perfunctory words.
Wang Mi stepped on the handle of the heavy crossbow, but did not use force. In front of him, groups of Beifu soldiers were attacking hard. Although the general's strategic intention was not clear, they did not know when reinforcements would arrive. However, the soldiers
Still trying my best.
The place where Wang Mi and the old officer stood was exactly where the arrows of the Xiangyang defenders could not reach. However, if it were not for the soldiers' hard work, Wang Mi would never be free at this moment.
The battle was fierce, with arrows flying all over the heads of the soldiers and on their sides. In order to block these flying arrows, the Beifu soldiers tried their best. They not only made full use of the existing shield array to make basic
For protection, soldiers who had spare strength also personally held round shields and tried their best to protect themselves so as not to burden other soldiers.
In addition, the long sword is also a very handy weapon. The Beifu soldiers took the lead and stood in front of the victorious fort residents. The bows and arrows flying over were often blocked in front of them.
It is precisely because of this that many Beifu soldiers were injured.
Fortunately, the fort residents who had endured Di Qin's rule for a long time now had their hearts completely with the Beifu soldiers. Seeing them fighting so bravely, they had no intention of sending the fort residents out to be used as cannon fodder. They were also full of energy, stimulating a hundred times more combat effectiveness.
.
Put on your bows and arrows, and shoot them at Xiangyang Tower!
"Continuing this way is not an option. We must also understand the situation in the city."
"With all due respect, Secretary Wang, the situation in the city doesn't seem to be very important right now. What's important is that if we don't have reinforcements here, we will soon run out of manpower."
"Besides, it's almost dawn and time is running out!"
Although he said that he shouldn't do this, the veteran officer still began to adjust the range of the heavy crossbow and pointed the arrow of the crossbow at the Xiangyang Tower.
"Just do your own thing, and I'll figure out the rest." Wang Mi patted the veteran official on the shoulder, half to comfort and half to encourage.
Although under this current situation, Wang Mi's words were somewhat powerless, but as a general, it was his duty to stabilize the morale of the army.
"I don't know what's going on with the slaves?" At this moment when the officials were aiming at Xiangyang City, Wang Mi stretched his neck and watched. The current situation made him somewhat worried.
On the tower of Xiangyang City, the counterattacks of the Di and Qin soldiers changed from strong to weak, and then from weak to strong. This change coincided with the frequency of Liu Yu and the others climbing the city to fight.
Although he had long expected that Liu Yu and his team's climbing activities would only be able to contain the Qin soldiers' offensive to a limited extent, this subtle change still made him suspicious.
Did Liu Yu and the others return with a great victory, or did they fall into the street?
No way!
The future God of War he was interested in had not grown into a finished product yet, so he was told what to do with Feishui outside Xiangyang City?
What to do with Tianshi Dao?
Dajin still needs you!
Send a slave!
"Zhiyuan, what are you doing dancing?"
"Secretary Wang looks like he's possessed."
Huh?
Why is this voice so familiar?
Xiao Wang jumped down from the chariot, turned around suddenly, and saw Tan Pingzhi and Liu Yu, their two big faces still covered with bloodshot eyes!
"Send a slave, and give it to me!"
"You are finally back!"
He knew how a murderer like Ji Nu could attack the streets in a single battle.
Look, he is a man with the emperor's destiny. Even if he is a target, those arrow clusters and big rocks still seem to have eyes, walking around him.
What is meant by the inexhaustible path of heaven and man? This is it.
Just when Wang Mi wanted to know about the situation in Xiangyang City, Liu Yu and others returned with their troops.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"Drink some water first!"
Wang Mi took off his water hyacinth and handed it to the two of them.
Rolling his eyes, he roughly counted the number of Beifu soldiers who had followed Liu Yu back, and there were probably less than 200 of them.
Wang Mi remembered that when Liu Yu led his troops to the city, he took about 300 people with him. In other words, the battle loss rate was about one-third.
Faced with the difficult situation of having no follow-up support and not having the upper hand in weapons, it was not easy for the two generals Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi to come back safe and sound.
What's more, they also brought back 200 people. It can be said that if it weren't for the witty and brave Liu Yu to lead the team, none of these people would be able to come back!
Although Liu Yu and others returned to the formation of the Beifu soldiers completely, which was completely beyond everyone's expectation, they still managed to escape from death. Their spirits were still in a high state of excitement, and they had not yet recovered from the concentrated battle.
He came back to his senses.
Wang Mi was not in a hurry. He called He Mai over. One more head means more strength. Now is the time when collective wisdom is needed!
Although He Mai is always a cuckold, he occasionally has a flash of inspiration. When He Mai heard Wang Mi calling him, he immediately became energetic.
