This is the first time that Jiuyuan City has been affected by war since its completion.
However, this does not mean that the Qin Dynasty or the Jiuyuan Army relaxed its defense against Jiuyuan City. On the contrary, Jiuyuan City has always been the top priority of the defense of the northern border of Daqin, just a defense like a large continuous crossbow machine
There are no less than two thousand cities or siege weapons...
There were two thousand large continuous crossbows, and the least of a large continuous crossbow was three large spear-like thick crossbow arrows, and six were the most. They were fired at the same time when the Hun cavalry entered the range.
Nearly 10,000 huge crossbow arrows with long phantoms, under the influence of the powerful bowstring of the giant continuous crossbow machine, appeared on the heads of the Huns' cavalry as if they were directly crossing the space.
.
As early as when he joined forces with Mohuer and Sububabaye, Maodun had already informed the two of them about the plan to attack the city. He had never thought of tempting it first. Maodun knew very well
The Jiuyuan City, which was much taller than the strong city I saw before, and the one guarding the city was the Jiuyuan Army, known as the most elite of the Qin people.
The elite of the Jiuyuan Army does not need to be tested. This tall city wall does not need to be tested. Any temptation can only cause more casualties and add more military achievements to the Qin people.
Although Maodun itself was to consume the 300,000 young and strong people of the Donghu people. However, it is obvious that this battle can be predicted to be very lasting and difficult. If the Donghu people can avoid more unnecessary casualties, then the Huns can
Fewer casualties.
Eliminating the nearly 200,000 real elite Xiongnu soldiers where Maodun was located, the remaining Donghu cavalrymen were dispatched for the first time under the three walls on the southeast, north and south, each dispatched 30,000 of these 30,000 were cavalrymen, and 20,000 were dismounted.
The Donghu people who became infantrymen.
The Donghu and the Xiongnu were both nomadic tribes on the grassland, and they could be said to be people living on horseback. They had already prepared for Maodun, a large-scale continuous crossbow shooting machine that the Jiuyuan Army would inevitably be equipped with.
Therefore, the Donghu cavalry that rushed towards the three walls were extremely scattered. With the length of the Jiuyuan City wall, even if 30,000 cavalry were invested at one time, it could be expanded, but the formation was much denser.
The reason why we chose to dispatch only 10,000 cavalry on each side was the best way to find when Maodun did not effectively suppress the terrifying large continuous crossbow-shooting machine standing on the city wall.
Jiuyuan City is square, but not every wall is equal in length, but most of it is six or seven miles long. Ten thousand Donghu cavalry scattered, running one by one, just one side of six or seven.
The inner length of the city wall is covered without being too dense.
However, it can only ensure that the large continuous crossbow shooting machine on the city wall can reduce the killing of the Donghu cavalry.
"ah!"
"hold head high!"
The shrill cry of the Donghu cavalry before their death was accompanied by the writhing sound of war horses, and at the same time, it sounded under the three walls of Jiuyuan City.
The huge crossbow arrow, three feet long, penetrated from the high city wall with an oblique arc, and the huge force instantly tore the simple sheepskin shoulders on the Donghu cavalry. It passed through the body, penetrated through people and horses, and nailed them to death.
On the ground.
The gurgling blood rolled down the ground along the thick giant crossbow arrows and immersed in the green and yellow land.
Nearly tens of three-meter-long crossbow arrows were deeply immersed in the ground, and the bodies of the Donghu cavalry and the bodies of the war horses under their crotch were strung on the crossbow arrows. A shrub consisting of giant crossbow arrows suddenly grew under the three walls for no reason.
The Donghu cavalry, who was not anxious to restrain their power, hit the Donghu cavalry who was nailed to the ground in front, and flew out with their men and horses.
In this wave of crossbow arrows, more than 30,000 Donghu cavalry rushed towards the city wall from three sides. There were more than 3,000 casualties. In other words, there were only 500 large continuous crossbow shots on one city wall with nearly 3,000 crossbow arrows that killed more than 1,000 people.
Obviously, Maodun's dispersal tactics still played a certain role.
The soldiers of Jiuyuan Army on the city wall were indifferent to the killing of large continuous crossbow shooting machines and fought countless times with the Huns. The Huns' weapons were not as good as those of the Qin Dynasty, but they had ways to deal with them. This was expected.
After the crossbow arrow was fired, several soldiers from Jiuyuan Army, who were responsible for the large continuous crossbow shot, quickly pulled the thick bowstring of the crossbow arrow, and the remaining people quickly filled the crossbow arrows.
When the Donghu cavalry was far from the city wall and had not entered the range of powerful crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, the large continuous crossbow in their hands was the only weapon that could kill the Donghu cavalry.
After learning about the Jiuyuan Army, which had the ability of the Huns' riding and shooting countless times, it was clear that once these Xiongnu cavalry approached the city wall, the Jiuyuan Army guarding the city would face a flood of arrows.
At this time, every time they release an extra crossbow arrow and kill a few more Xiongnu cavalry, the Jiuyuan Army will suffer a fewer casualties.
The Donghu cavalry cannot be said to be used to life and death, but at least the casualties of these more than a thousand people cannot destroy their fighting spirit. After all, there are so many Qin beauties in the city, with countless rare things. Behind them, there are also
The Huns, who seemed to be more vicious than the Qin people, looked at them.
The Donghu people knew that the giant arrows of the Qin people could not be fired continuously, so after the first round of crossbow arrow attacks, they crossed the bodies of the tribe members who were nailed to the ground by the crossbow arrows, and desperately urged the war horses under their crotch to approach the city wall quickly.
Although a wave of giant crossbow arrows from a large continuous crossbow shooter did not destroy their fighting spirit, anyone who saw the tribe members who were still running in front of him the next moment would be pushed from his head by a giant spear three feet long.
If you penetrate the people and horses, you will be nailed to the ground and become a bunch of mutton skewers, and you will feel cold behind your back.
No one wants to die. If you don’t want to die, then you obviously can only run faster.
Although you will be attacked by the Qin people's powerful crossbow when approaching the city wall, it is always better than the giant crossbow arrow that will die if it hits.
The distance of three hundred steps was instantly crossed when the Donghu people desperately urged their war horses.
One thousand two hundred steps.
"Bangbangbang!"
A series of terrifying sounds resounded once again at the head of Jiuyuan City.
This time, the soldiers of Jiuyuan Army loaded crossbow arrows much faster than usual training.
The terrifying roar instantly overshadowed the roar of horses galloping horses.
Nearly 10,000 giant crossbow arrows burst out. The distance of 1,200 steps was still a short span.
"ah!"
The screams of war horses were covered with the wailing sound of war horses resounded across the earth again.
This time the large continuous crossbow shot machine is different from the last time.
It’s no longer a diagonal shot, but a flat shot!
As the most sharp weapon for long-range attacks in the Qin Dynasty, the large-scale continuous crossbow machine has a complete and effective set of tactics for how to use continuous crossbow machine to attack cities, defend cities and field battles, and even against different types of troops.
The tactics can be followed.
Siege is basically a long-distance shooting; if the cavalry is attacking, the distance is 1,500 steps away, and the impact of violent giant crossbow arrows on the battlefield is not very large.
Flat shooting is used for a distance of less than 1,200 steps, and flat shooting can only be used for a distance of less than 800 steps; most of the infantry siege and field battles are used for flat shooting.
The large continuous crossbow machine that was shot flat finally erupted with its terrifying terrifying damage.
The moment the giant crossbow arrow broke through the air disappeared. The sound of "Puchi" as if the cloth strips were torn apart, mixed with the tragic howlings of Donghu people sounded under the city wall.
Giant crossbow arrows burst into the air like lightning, easily penetrated the bodies of Donghu cavalry who were galloping on horseback. Often, when the power of a crossbow arrow dissipated and fell to the ground, they were on the crossbow arrow or
More or less, one or two Donghu cavalry bodies were hung. Some crossbow arrows even shot too low, causing no damage to the Donghu cavalry riding on them, but instead shot the war horses under their crotch.
wear.
With this wave of crossbow arrows, the Donghu cavalry suffered at least 4,000 casualties.
This is the killing caused by many clever Donghu cavalrymen hiding their bodies under the belly of war horses when they heard the sound of the city wall.
But more of the war horses under the crotch of the Donghu cavalry were still galloping, while the riders on the horses had already flew backwards with the crossbow arrows. Only a large number of empty war horses were left behind. After galloping for a while, they ran around in a daze.
These running horses soon died at the hands of the Donghu people themselves.
Because if these unowned war horses were not shot, the running horses would cause great chaos to the running Donghu cavalry.
In this way, by the time the Donghu cavalry approached within 500 steps of the city wall, there were less than 20,000 people left in the 30,000 Donghu cavalry. If you were to normal, these Donghu cavalry would probably have the largest number of these Donghu cavalry.
It's already crossed in dozens of breaths.
When he was still nine hundred steps away from the city wall, the Donghu cavalry who enjoyed the greeting of giant crossbows again ran until he was only five hundred steps away from the city wall, and he did not hear the terrifying sound of the city. All the luck was not dead
The Donghu cavalry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Anyone who faces the huge crossbow that seems to penetrate his body and war horses at any time will feel powerless from the bottom of the sky.
This has nothing to do with courage and fighting spirit. On the battlefield between blood and fire, it is not just necessary to have courage and fighting spirit.
Fortunately, they were already rushing over alive. Just a few breaths were needed, the hateful Qin people on the city wall were about to enter the range of the Donghu people's bows and arrows. The Donghu cavalry shouted and pressed their bodies tightly against the horse's back, and their hands were all in their hands.
I took the strong bow, and an arrow was already placed on the strong bow.
You just need to survive the attacks of the Qin people's bows and arrows and crossbows to face the Qin people.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"
The dull sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the top of Jiuyuan City.
Accompanied by the sound of war drums.
The loud sounds on the Jiuyuan City walls were connected together, and large black shields appeared on the city walls. After the shields, countless powerful crossbows had quietly spread their sharp fangs.
Waiting for the moment when the Donghu cavalry entered the range!
