Volume 1, Chapter 85: Fighting at Gushi (1)
The rhythmic knock finally began to sound, Jiang Feng and Qin Zaidao's faces became serious, and a battle that decided life and death began.
Like a rolling tide, the two attacking arrays of ant thieves advanced in parallel. Huang Pupu's soldiers surrounded various instruments and vehicles slowly moved forward, giving Jiang Feng a huge visual impact on the wall.
This is war. The real ancient war. Everything I saw on TV in the past is far less clear and intuitive than it is now, but this kind of enjoyment may have to be exchanged for life.
When Jiang Feng retreated tactfully, Qin Zaidao focused all his attention on the battle situation in front of him. He had forgotten everything around him, and just stared at the ants thieves rushing under the city wall.
Three hundred steps! When the ant thieves entered the attack range of the car crossbow, their speed suddenly increased. It is obvious that there are also veterans among the ant thieves who have experienced siege battles. Three hundred steps happened to be the range of the car crossbow.
"Car crossbow, let it go!" Qin Zaidao suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.
The three creaking crossbows suddenly made a violent rebound sound, "Bang!"
Thirty-one crossbow arrows of different specifications shot out like a hurricane, and the fierce rebound force made the entire heavy crossbow bed tremble slightly.
The black ant soldier array spread rapidly as the speed accelerated. The word "ant" is really the best description of the situation in front of you.
Twenty-one crossbow arrows pierced into the ants thieves in the blink of an eye. Three almost undetectable gaps appeared on the ants' irregular charge, but disappeared in just a moment, as if they had never been there.
Jiang Feng carefully observed that he had come to this first war in the era of cold weapons combat. He tactfully handed over the battlefield command to a long general like Qin Zaidao, but lacked practical experience, he is now more suitable as a bystander to familiarize and understand everything in this war.
The crossbow operator's movements were quite fast, but perhaps it was the first time that he faced such a fierce battle, and the operators' actions were still a little panicked.
The second wave of attacks from the three crossbows can clearly show the difference between the operators of the three teams. The operators on the right are more capable than the other two teams in terms of proficiency in action and tacit understanding of coordination. When the other two crossbows had just had time to launch a second wave of attacks, the third wave of crossbows of the crossbows on the right has also been installed.
The powerful crossbows could not stop the ants soldiers from sweeping in at all, although each wave of burst would cause dozens of soldiers to scream and fall to the ground.
Their poor wooden shield could not stop this most powerful mechanical weapon of this era. The crossbow arrows could even easily penetrate the shield and nail them to the ground. If it weren't for the small number, and the filling and firing degree was too complicated, and it was easy to damage, Jiang Feng believed that this thing could cause greater trouble to the other party.
Blood soaked into the brown soil like a stream, mixed with corpses from all over the land, mottled, but this could not stop the ants thieves from moving forward at all. It was like throwing a few stones in the surging sea tide, and the yelling ant soldiers rushed towards the wall of sheep and horses with gritted teeth.
"A strong crossbowman, get ready! Archer is ready!" Qin Zaidao had already soothed from the initial tension and depression, and gave orders to the flag manager beside him quietly.
Like a puppy that was suddenly whipped, the flag bearer suddenly jumped up, ran along the city wall and waved the small flag.
The powerful crossbowmen who had been standing solemnly in the city wall took a breath and raised their crossbows two and a half steps forward. Their eyes could clearly aim at each target through the mountain.
In fact, when facing such an ant soldier, you don’t need to aim at it at all. You only need to launch and load the fastest, and each crossbow arrow will not fail. How to use this sharp strike surface to suppress the most fierce enemy attack front is what the commander needs to consider.
The archers lined up in three rows also set aside and were ready to go. These were all selected bowmen from Gushi Army. They penetrated six junctions and could easily reach 240 meters in range.
Jiang Feng sighed again.
The divine arm crossbow that was born under the city was undoubtedly the most powerful sniper weapon. It does not require deliberate training for soldiers, and it is also extremely powerful.
But this thing is like a crossbow. It has high production technology requirements, is expensive, it is troublesome to load when shooting, and is quite easy to damage. It is really a waste of money, but its function cannot be underestimated.
Jiang Feng has been wondering whether this thing can be broken down and made like a crossbow to form assembly line production. This will not only greatly improve the production efficiency, but also greatly improve the production level.
However, all this needs to be based on the complete victory of this war, so Jiang Feng had no choice but to pack up his ambitions and wait for the end of this war.
"Swish swish swish swish swish!" Sixty divine arm crossbows were like dense shootings, which immediately weaved a net with a not-wide range but extremely viciousness. Guo Laosca's body, who had just started running, suddenly encountered a head-on punch, hitting heavily at the forefront of high morale.
Like a sickle cutting wheat, the sweeping crossbow arrows flew past, lightly piercing the thin armor and clothes of the ant soldiers. The bloodthirsty arrowheads flew into the soldiers' passionate bodies, greedily sucking the blood juice.
Most soldiers didn't even have time to shout, but they couldn't get up. Sometimes, some soldiers who had not hit the key points covered their wounds in pain and struggled and rolled on the ground, hoping that someone could give them a pleasure.
Then the ant soldiers who surrounded them immediately submerged them. They needed to completely destroy the wooden fence and then threw the earth bags on their shoulders into the ditch to complete the task.
But the rain of arrows in the sky drifted down like locusts, and the archers of Gushi Army began to show their power.
The overly dense formation of the Ant Army provided the best target for the archers of the Gushi Army. After a little determination of the shooting range, the archers' shooting process was amazing in their hands.
These more than 200 selected archers undoubtedly represent the highest level of the archers of Gushi Army. From drawing the bow and shooting the arrow to pulling the arrow and re-leading the bow, every movement is so skillful and rhythmic, which makes Jiang Feng sigh and amazed.
The pointed wooden donkeys, which had been hiding the ants thief soldiers, also began to accelerate under the push of the soldiers, and soon formed multiple attack fronts. The soldiers hiding in the pointed wooden donkey and behind them used high-mounted leather screen cards to resist the rain of arrows and crossbows from the top of the city wall, and approached the wooden fence as quickly as possible.
