Chapter 529 Qin Arrow is useless, then try Qin Sword
The Qin army with full firepower and the constant roaring meteors and flints in the sky completely covered up the movement of the hot air balloon.
At this moment, the Chu man could even clearly see the Qin dog in the sky stretching his bow and drawing an arrow. Under the light of the fire, the sharp arrow tip shrank into a sharp point in his pupils.
He wanted to loudly remind Wei Jun to avoid it, but it was just like what he said at the beginning.
That's too late.
If all the Wei troops could obey the order and send a wave of arrows flying into the sky, then this battle might still be possible.
But the general of Wei could overcome the shock rising in his heart at this time and issue the order to shoot arrows. But how many Wei soldiers could have the psychological quality of Zhou Shi?
When he saw Qin Dog, who was supposed to be charging on the ground, appearing in the sky, the Wei Jun's taciturn spirit of defending the city to the death suddenly stopped as the thunder roared in his mind.
They were holding bows in their hands and holding arrows between their fingers, but they were stunned when they raised their heads to aim. This was not fear, but a shock beyond recognition.
It's like seeing fish flying in the sky, birds swimming in the water, a small sika deer less than three feet tall, killing an eye-catching white-fronted tiger three feet long, and uttering human words while eating:
"You have a good look at the people over there. If you want to eat, come here and eat together."
The moment I saw it, apart from the shock, my only action was the instinctive reaction of rubbing my eyes to see if I was dazzled.
The military order was given for five breaths. In the time it usually takes to shoot two rounds of arrows, today only a few long arrows penetrated the air.
Zhou Shi shouted to himself.
"Hurry up and shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!"
The shock in his heart has not dissipated at all, but despair has begun to devour his soul.
This delay will really make it too late.
The time of the Wei army seemed to have stopped for five breaths, but the time of the Qin army was flowing normally.
Qin Jun, who was in the hot air balloon, had a cold look on his face, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Looking down from a high altitude, the Wei army, which was not very clear under the torch, looked like dead targets, standing motionless, which was much easier to shoot than the moving targets they trained on.
Full bow!
Shoot!
Thousands of arrows fired!
The densely packed arrows were thrown off like porcupine quills.
In just a moment, the muffled sounds sounded one after another. I don’t know how many small muffled sounds were added together to create a very loud muffled thunder!
The Wei army, whose casualties had remained in single digits since the beginning of the war, suffered hundreds of casualties in this moment. It suffered the most serious casualties since the beginning of the war, and it exceeded a hundred in an instant!
"shoot!"
"shoot!"
"Shoot the arrow quickly!"
The ordering soldiers shouted hoarse, ran to convey the order, and slapped the unseen Wei soldiers one after another.
The death arrows falling from the sky, the groans of his colleagues, and the shouts of the messengers finally allowed the Wei army's time to continue to flow.
Swish, brush, brush~
The second round of arrow rain from the Qin army has fallen, and these dead targets have become living targets, running, moving and crouching to avoid them.
Then draw your bow and nock an arrow!
The Wei army's bad arrows finally shot into the sky, shooting at those unknown bulging objects that could fly in the sky.
But in matters like archery, heights have an absolute advantage.
If the subordinates could overcome the superior, then there would not be hundreds or even thousands of corpses of the Qin army lying in the thatch piles under Linji City, and the Qin army would not only run and sing without retaliating with bows and arrows.
Qin Jun moved to a higher place and squatted down slightly to ensure that his body was fully within the basket. The gaps in these special baskets were extremely narrow, and a needle could easily be inserted, but an arrow could not.
If the Wei army did not cut corners, attach feathers to the tails of arrows, and sharpen the tips of the arrows, the damage caused by thousands of arrows would be quite a threat to the Qin army.
But for the sake of speed and quantity, the Wei army's arrows were all inferior arrows. These inferior arrows, which were more than enough to defend the city, were showing signs of fatigue at this time.
Without arrow feathers, the arrows cannot stay level when fired. Not only is the distance of the arrows short, but the accuracy is also insufficient. Aiming at the hot air balloon, coupled with the fact that the Wei army's formation has been disrupted by thousands of arrows from the Qin army, the power is insufficient.
If you shoot an arrow in a panic, not one person in thirty can reach the height of a hot air balloon and hit it accurately.
If the tip of the arrow is not sharp, the lethality will be greatly reduced. The physical strength is amazing. The hundreds of bad arrows that finally rushed up were stuck on the basket. With a snap, they fell down along with the gravity. Only four or five arrows could be stuck and caught.
There are no branches, not one that breaks the defense.
The Qin army took advantage of the opportunity to change arrows, straightened their bows, and fired arrows made of fine iron. The Wei army suffered another heavy blow!
On Zhou Shi's head was a shield held by his own soldiers. The arrows from the sky made the shield tremble when it hit him, and the arms of his soldiers trembled together.
He turned his head and looked around. In order to resist the sudden doubling of the Qin army's attack on the city, Wei soldiers who rushed to support filled the entire city wall, two at a time.
Although the Wei soldiers had the intention to dodge, such a high density greatly restricted the movement of the Wei soldiers, and the arrows of the Qin dogs in the sky mercilessly devoured their lives.
Another Qin soldier appeared on the ladder.
At this time, withdrawing the Wei troops would not be able to stop the Qin troops below the city.
If the Wei soldiers are not withdrawn, the Qin army in the sky will shoot them all to death.
At the critical moment of the dilemma, Zhou Shi made his choice.
"Two people work together! One person holds a shield; one person defends the city!"
Chu Ren's gray eyes suddenly shone, and his face was filled with hope as he listened to the shouts of the messengers.
There is still hope! As expected of Zhoushi!
This military order is very fair, and anyone can think of it in ordinary times. But in this critical moment, only General Zhou Shi, who still has not lost his ability to think, can think of it.
Just like people who don't know how to swim know that if you fall into the water, you can't drown as long as you stay still and don't flutter around. But after falling into the water, there are too few people who can calm down without struggling.
Since the Qin dogs in the sky like to shoot arrows, let them shoot. There are thousands of people in total, and one thousand arrows at a time. If they are blocked, it will not have much impact.
With these Qin dogs in the sky above Linji City, the chariots would not throw stones, and they did not have to worry about being flattened by flints. The Wei troops, whose arrows above their heads were blocked by shields, could just calm down and defend.
When these Qin dogs fly closer, Zhou Shi wants them to know, who said bad arrows can't kill people!
On Linji City, wooden shields, door panels, and other objects that could be blocked were all raised. The weapons prepared by Zhoushi were all for defending the city, and there were very few wooden shields that were basically not used in defending the city.
But it was enough to temporarily block a wave. Zhou Shi swore that this kind of object that could carry Qin Dog flying would only have a miraculous effect on him once.
[Bows and arrows are useless, and these Qin dogs flying into the sky relying on strange objects are useless.]
[Unless these Qin dogs can really fly and can jump from high altitudes without dying!]
Zhou Shi glanced coldly at the sky through the gap in his shield. The arrows that were still falling could no longer pose any threat to him.
This is the case with most things. As long as you are careful and don't panic, and see through the unknown, seemingly unsolvable problems are actually very simple.
In the sky, the Qin soldiers who were shooting arrows in a hot air balloon saw shields set up on the city wall and objects that functioned as shields, but their expressions did not change.
They stood upright and continued shooting, emptying the twenty arrows on their backs.
Throwing the quivers and hard bows into the basket, they picked up two wooden wings and fastened them into the gaps in the special armor on their backs.
After checking that everything was correct, he jumped from the hot air balloon holding the three-foot Qin sword tightly and dived towards the head of Linji City.
The wooden wings swayed slightly, like thousands of large magpie kites, and the shining Qin sword was the sharp claws of the magpie kites.
If the Qin arrow is useless, then try the Qin sword.
"Mozi. Lu Wen" contains: Gongshuzi whittled bamboo and wood to make a magpie, rode on it and flew without it for three days. Gongshuzi thought he was clever.
"Old Stories of Zhu Palace" contains: It was tasted as a wooden kite, and one could ride on it to get a glimpse of the Song Dynasty city.
The wooden kite is also called the wooden magpie.
It is more than 2,300 years earlier than the glider trial-produced by British Sir George Kelly in 1809 AD.
