With the sound of rolling war drums, the large Xuanwu Army's crossbow-shooting machine, which was already in place, slowly began to rise in the "crunching" sound of the sore and soft sound of the machine.
The five thousand infantrymen in front, holding giant shields, continued to approach Anfeng City.
Anfeng City is actually not big. With hundreds of large continuous crossbows equipped by the Xuanwu Army, it can basically cover the entire city wall on the west side. However, Weng Zhong did not choose to disperse, but instead put all the large continuous chains.
The crossbow shooting machine was arranged behind the five thousand infantrymen who were about to launch an attack.
The direction of hundreds of large continuous crossbows aimed at was the city wall that was only more than a hundred feet long. The ladder was limited, so obviously he could only concentrate his strength to break through a little. As long as one or two places could climb the city wall, Anfeng City was basically
It has been taken down.
Weng Zhong never thought that someone could force the Xuanwu Army to retreat. So he gave the order to die to the five thousand soldiers in charge of siege from heavy armored cavalry to infantry soldiers. That was at most two hours, and he had to see the Xuanwu Army.
The battle flag and the "Qin"-shaped flag were planted on the top of Anfeng City, and there should not be too many casualties.
In fact, although the outside world knows little about the emperor's experience in Chengwu City, this incident is not a secret in the Bashang Camp. After all, it is impossible to hide it if thousands of elite troops have been lost.
To keep it confidential, although all the soldiers who died in Chengwu did not hold a grand ceremony, all the pensions were secretly issued under the arrangement of Longwei Mansion.
The medals that should be held have been placed in the warehouse of Bashang Camp. After the emperor wiped out all the rioters, he would report the official edict to the world.
Although the performance of the Xuanwu Army in that battle was already extremely eye-catching, it was obviously far from the emperor's expected combat power. All the Xuanwu Army soldiers, including Weng Zhong, also held their breath.
You should know that the five major legions, the Xuanwu Army, was the first to be officially named. Of course, they did not know about the Xuanniao Army. Similarly, the Xuanwu Army was also the first legion to cause casualties.
In the eyes of the Xuanwu Army, this was not only not honor, but rather a shame. Even though the situation was in a huge gap between the enemy and us.
The movements of the five major armies are made every day with special pigeons and the eagles of Longwei Mansion. The battle of the Xuanwu Army should be the first battle besides the Zhuque Army who has been dispatched to Jiuyuan.
The five major legions were all established by the emperor and were all compiled by the emperor with a lot of energy. The main generals of the five major legions are very familiar with each other and have a good relationship.
But secretly, the five major legions were also competing in secret. This competition had already begun when the Bashang Camp was conducting the exercise. However, the exercise was an exercise after all, and the enemies of the exercise were all their robes that they would fight side by side in the future, so it was naturally impossible to follow the exercise.
He fought against the enemy with real swords and guns, and went to death.
Now this battle of quelling chaos will truly determine which of the emperor's five personal troops is the number one in the Qin Dynasty!
After advancing for four hundred steps, the five thousand Xuanwu infantry holding giant shields were less than one thousand steps away from the Anfeng City wall. The Xuanwu infantry was still in the formation except for the first row of soldiers.
The giant shield was firmly erected in front of him. Starting from the second row, the infantry of the Xuanwu Army began to slow down. After setting a distance, they raised the giant shield over their heads and covered them above their heads.
The huge shield, which is more than ten feet high, is enough to cover the top of the first row of infantrymen.
After moving forward for two hundred steps, the siege formation composed of five thousand infantrymen had completely transformed into a huge turtle shell formation completely covered by a giant shield. The infantrymen of the Xuanwu Army carrying the ladder were also covered by the shield.
Below.
The sound of war drums that gradually became rapid stopped abruptly!
"Bangbangbang!"
As the drum sound stopped, amid the continuous and rigid sounds, nearly three hundred large crossbow shots opened their powerful bowstrings at the same time. The crossbow arms, which were as thick as a child, were trembling fiercely.
Six huge crossbow arrows more than three feet long placed on the crossbow trough were shot out.
Nearly two thousand giant crossbow arrows had sharp sounds of breaking through the air. The Chu army on the city wall had already shot up on the city wall before they could react.
In the era of cold weapons, long-range offensive and defensive weapons such as catapults and large continuous crossbows were like the concept of cannons that appeared in the era of hot weapons in later generations. After the emergence of cannons, they were called the King of War for a long time.
.
Even when a series of high-tech weapons such as tanks, missiles, aircrafts emerged one after another, no country in the world said that it would no longer use cannons, but it was still constantly improving the performance of cannons.
Compared with the difficult operation and heavy catapult, the large continuous shooting crossbow may not be as terrifying as the catapult, but the reliability and ultra-long range of the large continuous shooting crossbow have already laid the foundation.
His dominance in the age of cold weapons.
On the walls of Anfeng City, there were screams and stone chips flying everywhere. At least hundreds of powerful giant crossbow arrows shot to escape were pierced through flesh and blood, or long crossbow arrows.
If he was nailed to death on the top of the city, he would either be directly led by a crossbow and fell from the city wall and fell into Anfeng City, which shocked the whole city.
The remaining crossbow arrows that were not shot either crossed the city wall and fell into the city, or sank deeply into the hard wall of Anfeng City. The originally smooth and difficult-to-climb city wall looks like it suddenly grows.
Spiked hedgehog.
With just one wave of crossbow arrows, the Chu army on the city wall suffered at least a thousand casualties. Only three or four hundred died, and many of the rest were injured by rocks that could not fly!
Xiang Yi, who was still in shock, touched his face, which was scratched by the stone chips on his face, poked his head out to look at the Qin army crossbow machine square formation, which was more than a thousand steps away from the city wall, and his eyes were filled with horror!
He had seen the Qin army's large continuous crossbow shooting machine. There were more than ten large continuous crossbow shooting machines used by the Nanyue army on the top of Anfeng City. These more than ten crossbow shooting machines were still Xiang Liang and Xiang
Bo Cong Shouchun City. Now there are more than 60 large-scale continuous-shooting crossbows with Qin army-style standards above the head of Shouchun City. More than 20 large-scale continuous-shooting crossbows are arranged in Xiang Liang's army.
.
As for Xiang Yu's army of 100,000 to head north, he was only equipped with a small hand crossbow of 10,000, but there was no extra large continuous crossbow shooting machine for him to use.
However, in Xiang Yi's view, those large continuous crossbows that were also standard weapons of the Qin army were very different from the large continuous crossbows used by the demonic Qin army in front of him.
Under the visual observation, the distance between the Qin army outside the city was 1,500 steps away from the city wall.
Apart from one thousand five hundred steps, the crossbow arrows fired can still penetrate into the hard city walls and shoot upwards from the ground. This shows that the large continuous crossbow machine used by the Qin army outside the city has at least the effective range of killing when shooting flat.
It should be outside one thousand eight hundred steps.
Xiang Yi personally tried the power of the 100 large continuous crossbow machines sent by the South Vietnamese, with an effective killing of 1,200 steps of 1,200 steps of 800 to 900 steps.
Then there are only two possibilities: either Ziying left a hand and gave Chu a crossbow machine to cut corners, or the Qin army improved its weapons again, which enabled the same standard large continuous crossbow machine to have a crossbow machine far exceeding that of the Qin army in the South.
Range.
If it is the first reason, it would be fine. After all, when the State of Chu could not hold on, the South Vietnamese side would definitely not stand by while the lips were dead and the teeth were cold. But if it is the second reason, then obviously, it is obvious that when the matchup, whether it is South Vietnam or
The Chu State would be powerless to do anything to the Qin army's large continuous crossbow shooting aircraft.
Only passively beaten!
At this moment, the five thousand Xuanwu infantrymen who were sieging the city were less than 500 steps away from the Anfeng City wall!
"Hurry, shoot me with a crossbow!"
Xiang Yi stood up and looked at the Chu soldiers who were so scared that they were huddled under the city wall that they dared not show their heads. Suddenly shouted!
A group of Chu soldiers who woke up from their dreams stumbled to operate the large continuous crossbow shooting machine placed on the top of Anfeng City! More than ten large continuous crossbow shooting machines, Xiang Bo was on the four walls to be on the safe side.
Three were placed in each direction!
Three large continuous crossbow shooting machines are the only force that the Chu army can attack Qin army's siege soldiers!
With the creaking sound, the Chu army's large continuous crossbow shooting machine on the city wall was finally adjusted by the busy Chu soldiers, and they shot out directly without even aiming.
The large continuous crossbow machine used in Nanyue is still an old crossbow machine. One crossbow machine can only carry three crossbow arrows. Three crossbow machines and nine crossbow arrows burst out from the city wall alone, heading towards the sea of scattered mountains and seas.
The Qin army infantry formation was crushed by the momentum.
Thoughts are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
Nine crossbow arrows either strayed 100,800 miles and shot behind the Qin army, or were inserted into the ground dozens of steps away from the Xuanwu Army's siege, even Mao of the Qin army's infantry.
Didn't touch a single one.
Even in the ancient Chu, which was not destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, the large continuous crossbow shooting machine only had a small amount of equipment, and even had no equipment at all. Today, the Chu army has no experience in using large continuous crossbow shooting machine, although it has the Nanyue.
The soldiers sent by the parties provided guidance, but they were only the elites in Xiang Liang's hands.
Now the Chu army in Anfeng City is either ordinary people, old or weak, and has not even had regular military training. How could it be that it has the experience of operating large-scale crossbow shooting machines?
"Idiot!" Xiang Yi wanted to tear all the Chu army!
Weng Zhong held a monocular lens in his hand, and could clearly see the movements of Chu army on the top of Anfeng City.
Soon, more than two thousand crossbow arrows shot out from the Qin army's formation, but this time at least dozens of large continuous crossbow machines aimed at the direction of the only one on the top of the city that could attack the Xuanwu Army.
A large continuous crossbow that poses a threat!
Hearing the sound of the buzz under the city wall, the Chu soldiers who had tasted the powerful Qin army crossbow machine once immediately shrank under the city wall as fast as possible, hugging their heads tightly and tightly clenched into a ball!
Hiding is not absolutely safe. The Chu army, who were injured by flying stones just now, is a clear example!
Amid the series of loud cracks, each of the three large crossbow shots on the west city wall was hit by at least five or six crossbow arrows, and they were beaten into a pile of broken wood chips and became waste products on the spot!
