The three large crossbows that had only launched one round of bye arrows became completely broken wood less than a moment later, making Xiang Yi no longer able to threaten the infantrymen of the Xuanwu Army in his hands.
Until the Xuanwu Army siege infantry holding a giant shield advanced to less than three hundred steps from the head of Anfeng City, there was no longer any large continuous crossbow shooting machine appearing on the head of Anfeng City.
While Weng Zhongling's flag was shaking, the five thousand Xuanwu soldiers holding powerful crossbows who were originally following the left and right wings of the large continuous crossbow shooting machine began to move forward slowly. At the same time, they had been swimming around the outer periphery of the left and right wings of the entire army.
The heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army began to spread out toward both sides with purpose.
The large continuous crossbow machine carried by the Xuanwu Army was all improved and used gear machines to load giant crossbows, so the launch speeds of the Qin Army were at least several times faster, and it also saved enough.
Half of the manpower.
When the infantry of the Xuanwu Army who was sieging the city was less than a hundred steps away from the Anfeng City wall, more than 300 large crossbows far behind had already faced at least more than a hundred feet that were about to be the main attack direction of the Xuanwu Army.
Nearly 10,000 giant crossbow arrows were shot in the city wall.
The Chu army guarding the city was curled up under the battlements of the city walls. Except for the first wave of the first wave, the remaining ones were basically lost. At most, the splattered corpses were smashed and injured some Chu army.
The Chu army on the city wall could hide, but there was no place for the people in the city to hide. There were huge crossbows constantly crossing the city wall and shooting into Anfeng City with a sharp roar, which caused screams. In less than a moment, two hundred behind the west city wall
Basically no one dares to gain a foothold in the step.
In the end, for the sake of his own life, no Chu army dared to show up on the entire west wall of Anfeng City. All the Chu army guarding the city, including Xiang Yi himself, could only try to curl up and hide under the walls.
.
The large Xuanwu Army's continuous crossbow shooting machine stopped firing when the siege infantry entered the city wall within a hundred steps. However, the Chu soldiers curled up under the city wall still didn't dare to move.
No matter how Xiang Yi yelled and scolded him, no Chu army dared to stand up. Of course, Xiang Yi himself did not dare to stand up. No one did not cherish his life.
The five thousand infantrymen who attacked the city arrived under the wall of Anfeng City without encountering any strong resistance.
"Bang bang bang!"
Amid the series of loud noises, dozens of thick and long huge cloud ladders all climbed onto the walls of Anfeng City.
As the siege ladder was put on the city wall, outside the city, the rumbling drums that the Qin army had just stopped for a while suddenly rang out again.
If the ladder is placed on the city wall, as long as you are not a fool, the Qin army will definitely climb up the city wall immediately. If the Qin army wants to attack the city, it means that the Qin army's large continuous crossbow shooting machine is roaring and flying around.
Of course, there will be no further attacks.
After all, if the Qin army attacked while climbing the city, the first thing that would be injured would be the Qin army outside the city wall.
"Hurry! The Qin people are going to attack the city and will not shoot arrows anymore. Just push down all these ladders. Use a rolling stone wood to smash it!"
Xiang Yi got up, kicking and pulling the Chu soldiers who were still lying on the ground and shaking, and shouting loudly. But when he let his throat break, only a few Chu soldiers who were trembling stood up.
.
These people, for the first time, saw the real war for the first time. A wave of giant crossbow arrows whistling from the city, and the screams of their companions before their deaths kept ringing on the city wall.
It completely defeated them completely. The courage that had finally been aroused by Xiang Yi.
Xiang Yi used his bronze sword to slash several Chu soldiers who were huddled under the city wall. The Chu army guarding the city wall finally retracted and got up, half-squatted and carefully stood with the weapon in his hand.
Arrived at the guard city.
At this time, it is logical that you should use bows and arrows. However, not to mention how many people who have just become soldiers can really draw bows and shoot arrows. Today, even Xiang Liang's direct bows and arrows are not enough, let alone enough for Chu State.
He said he was used for these soldiers who were obviously cannon fodder-type.
A long ladder was laid on the top of the city. When Xiang Yi looked at it, he found that no Qin army had climbed, but instead they all retreated more than ten steps and used a giant shield to firmly cover their bodies.
"Buzz!"
The terrifying buzzing sound that made people feel numb and numb suddenly sounded behind the infantry siege formation. With the trembling buzzing sound of the air, a large cloud rose from the dark Qin army formation.
.
The huge dark clouds instantly climbed over the Anfeng City walls, and then fell down with a sharp whistling sound!
The Qin people's invincible power crossbows were once again showing their unparalleled style in the south of the Yangtze River after more than ten years!
When the buzzing sounded, the Chu soldiers who had just gotten up and were about to push the ladder on the city wall couldn't help but raise their heads and wanted to see what it was. The dark clouds fell like lightning, visible to the naked eye, in the black clouds.
, are countless sharp arrows flashing with dazzling cold light in the sun!
When I heard the sharp whistling sound, all the Chu army was in a condition.
He curled up quickly like a cum and hid under the corner of the wall.
However, this time, what came was not the giant crossbow shot from the bottom, but tens of thousands of small three-sided crossbow arrows that were only a few inches long!
Many times, the comparison of combat power between the two sides cannot be calculated by the number of people. Just like in the later Iraq War, Lao Sa claimed to be an elite army of hundreds of thousands, but Midi sent out tens of thousands of people and swept everything!
How many dead corners can a section of the city wall that is only a hundred feet long gathered into two or three thousand crossbow arrows?
At the moment when the buzzing sounded, Xiang Yi had already closed his eyes.
No one escaped the attack of the Qin army's powerful crossbow under such circumstances! Even Xiang Liang's elite Jiangdong children can only defend passively. What's more, the mobs like Anfeng City who need shields but no shields, and strong bows but no strong bows.
Xiang Yi knew that he had underestimated the combat power of the Qin army. Or he had a high opinion of the combat power of the soldiers in Anfeng City, which was known as the 70,000 army.
Countless sharp crossbow arrows of inches fell densely on the part of the city wall where Xiang Yi was located like rain. The crossbow arrows tear the armor and clothes and flesh penetrated into the human body continuously, but the howling was extremely rare, and many Chu soldiers
The soldiers often turn into hedgehogs and die before they can scream.
As Xiang Yi, who was covered with crossbows and arrows, fell down, it symbolized that the overall situation in Anfeng City had been decided.
The soldiers of the siege did not wait much. After the five thousand crossbowmen were launched, they climbed up the city wall along the ladder they had set up. The two heavy armored cavalry cruising on the left and right wings of the Qin army formation were
They moved towards both sides of the city gate and began to clear the Chu soldiers on the other two sections of the city walls with their powerful crossbows.
The Xuanwu Army has successfully climbed the Anfeng City wall with zero casualties.
The heavily armored infantry of the Xuanwu Army who climbed the city wall did not stop and quickly followed the corridor of the city wall toward the bottom of the city wall. What they had to do next was to open the gate of Anfeng City.
The Xuanwu Army infantry who followed the city walls and rushed to the north and south walls along the west walls. Wherever they passed, countless Chu soldiers fled in desperate attempts, and no one dared to resist.
In less than an hour, the entire Anfeng City had fallen into Weng Zhong's hands.
In this battle, the Xuanwu Military Control Commission suffered more than a hundred casualties.
The 70,000 Chu troops defending the city of Anfeng City, except for the thousands of soldiers who were shot by crossbows when siege, killed by Xuanwu Army who climbed the city wall, and trampled on each other until death while escaping, the remaining ones were nearly 60,000.
, without reminding the Xuanwu Army that they have automatically put down their weapons, they all become prisoners.
Except for the magistrate of Anfeng County, all officials of all sizes were captured in one fell swoop.
However, Xiang Bo and the magistrate of Anfeng County ran away. It turned out that Xiang Bo and his companions were directly led to a few of their relatives to open the city gate and escape. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the beautiful little girl given to him by Anfeng County Magistrate.
My concubine, the magistrate of Anfeng County, also ran away with him.
Weng Zhong did not enter the city. While ordering people to clean the battlefield, he sent a large number of soldiers to appease the terrified people of Anfeng. After everything was ready, he left behind 2,500 heavy armored cavalry and 2,500 heavy armored steps.
After that, Weng Zhong led his troops directly to Shouchun, which was more than 60 miles away.
In Weng Zhong's opinion, it was not challenging at all. However, a large number of Chu army prisoners brought him an unexpected news, that is, there are only more than 100,000 defenders in Shouchun, and Xiang Liang had already been
The leader crossed the Huai River and wanted to defeat the 200,000 troops of Feng Jie and Han Xin who had been stationed on the other side of the Huai River.
Xiang Liang crossed the Huai River and took the initiative to attack the camp that had been stationed by Qinglong and Baihu armies. Weng Zhong was not worried at all. He did not think that Xiang Liang could succeed in sneak attack. Since he could not succeed in sneak attack, he seemed to have to fight head-on in the end.
Head-on, the 300,000 Chu army met two elite troops established by 200,000 emperors. Weng Zhong was already envious of Xu Chuang and Du Teng's good luck. This was simply a great achievement that fell from the sky.
But my luck seems to be bad.
Isn’t the contribution to breaking down the capital of Chu, Shouchun, isn’t it great enough?
When the Xuanwu Army captured Anfeng City, Xiang Yi's messenger had just arrived at Shouchun City. When Weng Zhong led his army straight to Shouchun, Zhaotong, Jinggong, Qu Ping and others were still asking whether they should send troops to An to help An
It's a big deal but it's undecided.
Anfeng City has 70,000 troops stationed, and the food is sufficient, so it can last for two or three days no matter how you look at it. However, they didn't know that the Qin army had completely controlled Anfeng City in less than an hour.
In hands.
Even if the Xuanwu Army marched slowly, it would only take two or three hours to travel. What's more, after having a large number of box trucks, the mobility of the Xuanwu Army has greatly improved, but in just over an hour, Weng Zhong
The army vanguard was able to vaguely see the outline of the city wall that Xin Chudu Cheng Shouchun in the distance.
Weng Zhong had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, so when Shouchun was more than twenty miles away, the Xuanwu Army was discovered by the scouts sent by Shouchun to Anfeng and reported to King Xiong Xin of Chu.
When the news that the Qin army had been at the city of Shouchun for at most half an hour, the entire Chu government and the country were panicked! (To be continued)
