Chapter 439 Massacre

(Thanks to Zhang Quanca for his monthly ticket support, thank you!)

The dense rain of arrows fell, and some of the Black Crow Army who were charging were caught in the arrow and fell off the horse. But the Shatuo people also showed their extremely strong side at this time. Although some people in the charging team kept falling down, they were not afraid at all, and the charge did not stop at all.

"Cattaker, prepare for the crossbow!" Li Jing ordered loudly on the top of the city.

Since we came from Hedong all the way, there were not many heavy equipment. Most of them were just medium-sized crossbows such as Fuyuan crossbows brought by the Zhendong Army. These are standard parts and can be disassembled and assembled at any time. Now Feng'an's city has 300 Fuyuan heavy crossbows with a range of 300 steps. In addition, the large three-bow crossbow, commonly known as the Baniu Crossbow, has twenty, extra-large crane crossbows, and two.

The Fuyuan crossbow has a range of 300 steps, and requires two people to open the bow. The three-bow crossbow is even more powerful. It requires 30 people to work together to open the crossbow. The arrows are made of hard wood as the shaft and iron sheets as the feathers. It is known as the "one gun, three sword arrows" with a range of up to 500 steps. The largest crossbow, with a full twelve stones, requires more than a hundred people to open the strings, and use a shaft to open the strings. There are seven arrow roads on the crossbow arm. The arrow road in the center is placed on a giant arrow, "three feet and five inches long" and "five inches thick". With iron leaves as the feathers, three slightly smaller arrows are placed on each side. The arrows are launched one at a time, "all the city towers in the middle are destroyed, and the towers are also falling."

This kind of bed crossbow is even more powerful than the gunpowder that the Firearms Bureau has now mastered. A pottery jar filled with fifty kilograms of gunpowder is shot onto the city tower, and the damage caused by the explosion is not too great. However, if it is hit by this giant arrow in the crimp crossbow, the city gate tower over there can be directly destroyed and shot into the city wall. It can be nailed directly into the city wall. However, this kind of bed crossbow is difficult to make and difficult to move. It is very precise, and it is used to defend the city and rarely fight in the field. There are only two in the army in the state.

“One, two, one, two, three!”

There were a series of slogans, and hundreds of people under the inner walls of the city began to transfer the wheels and opened the bow. The two lathe crossbows were too large and needed too much manpower. They could not be placed on the top of the city, but could only be placed in the city. Fortunately, the crossbow had a range of 700 steps and was as high as two miles, so the target had been set after the pre-shooting. As soon as the enemy cavalry was found in the city, they immediately ordered the launch.

Several strong men loaded their hands and carried a giant crossbow arrow with a length of three feet and five inches long and five inches thick, with iron leaves as feathers, and a ridge-shaped iron spear head mounted on a bed crossbow. The other two snatches also installed three slightly smaller arrows each.

"put!"

The two crossbows also had a team leader commander. After seeing that they were loaded, they immediately ordered the bow to be opened and the strings were released. A few loud thunder sounds were heard. Fourteen crossbow arrows roared away and went straight into the clouds.

The Shatuo cavalry charged under the city with the rain of arrows suddenly heard a huge roar above their heads, and they couldn't help but look up. Several huge crossbow arrows flew in the air and arrived in a blink of an eye.

The huge crossbow arrow flew down and directly broke the Shatuo cavalry and his horse and they broke into two pieces. Then the remnant force continued to rush forward. It was like a comb that instantly took away more than a dozen cavalry's lives, plowing a blank area in the Shatuo formation, and finally nailed the Shatuo cavalry to the ground.

Fourteen arrows killed dozens of cavalry in a blink of an eye, especially the two super-large heavy crossbows, which directly swept out two blanks in the Shatuo formation that was charging densely. Then this sharp attack, and then the catapult car began to show its power.

In order to reduce casualties of the Zhenguo Army, Li Jing also used the useless divine fire and Tianhuo that had been in use since he arrived in Hedong. Li Jing also had very few hands on his hands, but this time Li Jing took out all the money regardless of his money.

Dozens of fireballs fell from the sky, like meteors and fire rains, hitting the charge formation of Shatu people. The stone bullets with big heads fell, and as long as they hit, all Shatu people immediately killed each other with their horses.

However, the attack of Zhenguo Army did not make Li Keyong retreat. Instead, it aroused their fierceness more and more fiercely and faster.

"Kill!" Li Keyong's heart was bleeding, but he knew that they had no way out. He still had a glimmer of hope to move forward. When he walked backward, he would die completely without a place to bury him.

The sky suddenly darkened again, with three hundred Fuyuan crossbows and three thousand crossbowmen firing arrows at the same time, and twenty eight-ox crossbows, two pester crossbows and thirty catapults fired at the same time. Large pieces of arrows covered the sky like dark clouds, and the rain of stone bullets and fireballs were mixed in the rain of arrows, and the metal waterfall fell from the sky. The first round of arrow rain just now did not kill much, but this time, one-third of the Shatu people rushing in front were shrouded in it. Li Kerong, who was rushing in the front, was hit hard by a huge invisible hand, and his whole person flew backwards from the horse, twisting his body into a bow shape in the air, and fell directly to the ground seven or eight steps away.

He was hit by the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow. The standard crossbow arrow directly hit his left shoulder blade. With one blow, he smashed the copper lion on his armor, and then pierced his armor and smashed his left shoulder blade directly, and then he was nailed to the ground.

However, what happened to Li Keyong was that the crossbow was only a smaller crossbow, not the main crossbow. The hitting part was also very lucky, and it only hit the shoulder blade. If it was to the right, it would be straight into the heart. Li Sizhao quickly returned to the horse, pulled the crossbow gun up, and directly lifted Li Keyong from the ground to his horse, avoiding Li Keyong from trampling on his own war horse.

For a moment, the entire city south of Feng'an City was like a sudden eruption of volcano, with countless arrows covering the sky. Under the attack of this terrifying and uninterrupted rain of arrows, even the strongest Black Crow Army seemed extremely fragile.

Although the cavalry rushing in the front row were wearing iron armor and leather armor, and holding cavalry shields in one hand, they could not stop it in such a storm of arrow rain. If they were accidentally shot into hedgehogs.

This is definitely the most terrifying nightmare. Screams, moans, blood, death, panicked people and horses trampling on each other, horse hooves, screams, arrow rains flying like locusts, and the sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air filled the entire space, forcing the bravest Shatu warriors to go crazy. Arrows are everywhere! Arrows! Arrows!

In the flash, it was as if suddenly being hit by violent lightning. The cavalrymen in the forefront were surging their horses. Shatuo cavalry sprayed blood and rose up in the air, screaming and falling into dust from the horse. The body was instantly pierced, and the arrows shot the second person with blood and shot them up again. Some were even nailed to the ground by the whole person, and the blood was blooming in the air. The soldiers screamed and cried, and you hit and push the ground and squeezed into a ball, trampling on each other; some were lying down to avoid it, but they stomped on the back of the panicked war horses, and their brains splashed. The cavalry kept falling down, with short and sharp terrifying screams on the verge of death, and the war horses injured in the arrow rolled on the ground, with long neighing sounds tragic.

At this time, even the extremely powerful Shatu people began to feel fear.

Li Ke drooped weakly with one of his left arm, and a cloth strip was wrapped around him and temporarily stopped the blood. He rode the war horse again, changed his right hand to a horizontal knife, and shouted like crazy: "Crush, rush, rush, even if the last person left, he must rush forward."

The cavalry formation continued to charge, and the soldiers shouted: "Long live Shatu!" Although people were caught in the air at all times, the huge array was surging and rumbling, and the sound of hooves was unstoppable like a mountain torrent and tsunami. In an instant, a scream of screams sounded from the front line, and all the injured and felled cavalry stomped on their horses' hooves into flesh mud. In order to vent their powerless anger, the cavalry tore open the collars of their leather robes and howled naked with their chests.

Seeing that the Shatuo people were approaching and began to launch their horses and shoot, Wang Chong hurriedly danced his flag, and the three thousand surprise soldiers in front of the square formation blocked their shields and shouted loudly.

Li Jing ordered at the top of the city, "All catapults follow the orders, aim at one hundred steps in front of the formation, and put them together!"

The sound of crackling and crackling springs continued to sound, like countless birds passing through the sky, and the casting stones fell from the sky with a sad roar, and fell into the dense Shatu cavalry formation again like thunder. Shields and armors can be used to block arrows, but they cannot block the casting stones. No shields and armor can block the casting stones falling from the sky, and the Shatu people were smashed down from the horse, and even directly smashed their heads.

Retreat is death, and moving forward is death.

The Shatu people did not collapse, they were fanatical.

Thousands of cavalry braved the rain of arrows, yelled wildly, and the soldiers and horses rolled forward.

The world was filled with terrifying shocking sounds. The huge rocks and arrows as dense as raindrops bombarded the sea of ​​people violently, splashing terrifying bright red waves, flesh and blood and screaming waves. With this decisive attack, without caring about casualties and fearing sacrifice, the Black Crow Army advanced step by step, and finally finally came to the front of the Tang army formation.

Seeing that he finally rushed to the Tang army, the Shatu people burst into an exclaim, "Shatu, Shatu, Shatu!"

With a shout, the Shatuo people rushing in the front row looked at the forest of guns with countless cold lights in front of them, and rode their horses and ran into them one after another.

The sound of the stabbing spear piercing into the belly of the war horse, the sound of the stabbing spear being unable to withstand the breaking of the impact of the war horse and the knight, and the sharp sound of the Shatuo people's spear stabbing on the iron shield of the Tang army. The war horse was shot and screamed in a tragic way, and the roar of the desperate before the knight died...

The Shatuo people were rushing into the Tang army's surprise shield formation with their lives. One by one, Shatuo soldiers rushed in. But gradually, the Shatuo people found that the Tang army's front was stronger than any other infantry shield formation they had encountered. Under such a fierce collision, they did not collapse at all.
Chapter completed!
