Thousands of crossbow arrows, three feet long and as thick as arms, plunged fiercely into the densely packed Yuezhi cavalry.
The Fang Yueshi cavalrymen who came towards the crossbow machine suddenly fell on their backs, as if a piece of them had been bitten off by a big mouth.
The Yuezhi cavalry who were hit by crossbows didn't even have time to scream in agony before they were trampled to pulp by countless Yuezhi cavalry coming from behind, turning them into fertilizer that nourished the Loess Plateau.
Seeing the brother who was still alive and kicking next to him disappear in the blink of an eye, the remaining Yuezhi cavalry who was not shot suddenly felt grateful in his heart.
The blank area that had just been bitten off by more than a thousand crossbow arrows returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
However, the Yuezhi cavalry's happiness did not last long.
A long horn sounded from Didao's city wall, followed by a crisp bang, and dense air-piercing screams came from the city wall.
The scream of "Woo" even overwhelmed the sound of more than 100,000 Yuezhi cavalry galloping, becoming the only melody in the world.
It is a pity that this melody sounds like the sound of nature to the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, but to the Yuezhi cavalry, it is the evocative sound of the god of death.
Longxi is the western frontier of the Qin Dynasty and has always been the first choice for foreign tribes from the west to move eastward.
As the seat of Longxi County, Didao has high walls and strong walls, and at least a thousand large-scale repeating crossbows are installed on the wide walls. When the Longxi military crossbows outside the city were launched, the crossbows on the city walls had not yet entered.
range.
At this time, the charging Yuezhi cavalry had entered the firing range of the large-scale repeating crossbows installed on the city wall. The crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time on the city wall fired a volley when they heard the sound of the horn.
There are less than two hundred crossbow machines outside the city, but there are over a thousand large crossbow machines on the city walls.
There is a huge difference in the number of crossbows above and below the city. Outside the city, they shoot horizontally, but on the city wall, they shoot from top to bottom. As a result, the results of this salvo are also very different.
There are thousands of crossbow machines, each with six thick and long crossbow arrows. A single volley from the thousands of crossbow machines will produce at least six thousand huge arrowheads, which are three feet long and as thick as an adult's arm.
The densely packed crossbow arrows formed a "cloud of arrows", and the entire sky seemed to be covered by this cloud of arrows.
The Yuezhi cavalry, who were still congratulating themselves on being lucky to survive, looked at the "cloud of arrows" in the sky. Their faces turned pale, and their souls flew into the sky. They beat the horses under their crotches desperately, wishing they could fly over this field.
The area covered by the "cloud of arrows".
However, it is obvious that everything the Yuezhi cavalry did was in vain.
The high-pitched scream of "Woo-Woo" had just sounded, and the next moment it had reached the top of the Yuezhi cavalry's heads and struck down hard.
Blood splashed everywhere, and a strange "crossbow forest" composed entirely of three-foot-long arrowheads appeared on the vast Loess Plateau.
Below the "Crossbow Forest" is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood composed entirely of the bodies of Yuezhi cavalry, blood, and war horses that are still neighing miserably. The rich smell of blood floats in the still slightly chilly air.
The Yuezhi cavalry who charged in a dense line in a wide straight line were divided into two sections by this "crossbow forest".
Originally, Great Qin's large-scale continuous-firing crossbows could not achieve such magnificent results. The main reason was that the more than 10,000 Qin troops fighting out of the city gave the Yuezhi people too much stimulation.
In addition, the evil cultivators thought that Weng Zhong was dead and now that the Qin Dynasty was in civil strife, Longxi would definitely be guarding nothing, so they dared to use such a dense cavalry charge to crush these Qin people who dared to despise the Yuezhi people.
That's why Da Qin's large crossbows were able to achieve such magnificent results.
"Ang, ang, ang," three high-pitched and rapid horn sounds suddenly sounded from the rear of the Yuezhi cavalry.
The Yuezhi cavalry, who had been confused and hesitant by the two consecutive crossbow volleys from Great Qin, immediately rushed over again, but this time the Yuezhi cavalry slowly dispersed during the charge, and each rider
There is at least three feet of distance between them.
At a distance of 1,500 steps, after the long-range large-scale continuous-firing crossbows above and below the city fired two more waves of arrows, the Yuezhi cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than 300 steps from the Longxi Army outside the city.
Because the Yuezhi cavalry dispersed smartly, the results of these two volleys were far less than the first salvo. The two volleys killed and injured thousands of Yuezhi cavalry, which was not as good as the first salvo.
One victory after another.
There was no time to launch another crossbow machine. The Longxi Army manipulating the crossbow machine outside the city quickly withdrew to the city under Weng Zhong's order.
By the time the crossbowmen withdrew into Didao City, the Yuezhi cavalry was already 250 steps away from becoming worthy of the Longxi Army.
At this time, Weng Zhong could even clearly hear the excited howls of the Yuezhi cavalry through the thunderous sound of horse hooves. Looking at the Yuezhi cavalry getting closer and closer, Weng Zhong shouted loudly: "Crossbow 2, mount the horse!"
"Buzz" there was a soft sound, and a dark cloud suddenly flew out from the 10,000 Longxi troops who had been standing quietly behind Weng Zhong.
Although the small crossbow machine used by the Qin army was compact, its range was a full 250 steps, nearly 150 meters.
After releasing the crossbow arrows that had been prepared for a long time, the 10,000 Longxi Army troops did not look at the results at all, and hurriedly focused on placing the second crossbow arrow.
The next moment, the dark cloud appeared in front of the Yuezhi cavalry who was excited because they would no longer be attacked by the Qin's terrifying large crossbows. The small and sharp eight-inch crossbow arrows easily tore apart the simple armor of the Yuezhi cavalry.
Leather armor, burrowed into their bodies.
After the continuous miserable howl, large swaths of Yuezhi cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and the formation that was originally dispersed to defend against the Qin army's large crossbows became even more empty.
The Longxi army behind them was busy placing crossbows and arrows, and Weng Zhong, who was standing alone in front of the formation, was not idle either.
Looking at the Yuezhi cavalry getting closer and closer, Weng Zhong casually grabbed a spear that was more than ten feet long on the spear mountain next to him, and suddenly took in a breath and let out a huge roar "唔"
, and threw the spear in his hand like a javelin.
The spear thrown by Weng Zhong with his bare hands was not inferior to the Qin army's large crossbow in the slightest. As soon as it came out of Weng Zhong's hand, it had already reached the chest of the Yuezhong knight in the next second, and came out fiercely.
.
The powerful force even caused the Yuezhi cavalry to fly him away from his horse, and then he fell heavily to the ground, where he died.
The strength of the spear that came out of the body was not reduced at all, and it penetrated the chest of a Yuezhi cavalry behind him again, knocking him to the ground.
Weng Zhong threw the first spear as if he was practicing his skills. He didn't even look at it after throwing it, and he threw the spears on the mountain of spears one after another. Basically, the spears hit the target without missing a beat.
At this moment, the second crossbow of the 10,000 Longxi Army had been loaded, and there was another soft "buzz" sound, forming a dark cloud once again and covering the Yuezhi cavalry that was rushing towards them.
After releasing the second crossbow arrow, the 10,000 Longxi troops did not pause at all. They put away their crossbows, got on their horses, drew out the bronze swords from their waists, and stood ready to wait for Weng Zhong's order to charge.
In a moment, the mountain of spears beside Weng Zhong had been thrown away by him.
Looking at the Yuezhi cavalry who were less than fifty steps away, Weng Zhong could even clearly see the fear in these people's eyes.
