Shaking his head secretly, Yunfeng put away this inexplicable thought and shouted back: "Get ready for bed crossbow!"

The sergeants immediately made way for passages in an orderly manner. Eighty crossbows were slowly dragged to the front of the position by war horses. Rows of crossbowmen and archers quickly poured into the gaps between the crossbows. After the war horses were taken away,

At the same time, another group of craftsmen caught up and skillfully set up a shelf about ten feet high behind each bed crossbow.

The south lacked horses and relied mostly on infantry for combat, but it was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the northern cavalry. It relied on crossbows! This is also an important reason why Zu Ti was able to stay in Huainan and Henan for a long time.

It can be said that the Jiangdong Xiaochaoting attaches great importance to the role of crossbows. The army is equipped with a large number of crossbows, and its density is much higher than that of the northern regimes and even the Liangzhou Army of Yunfeng. The bed crossbows are also not used in the Jiangdong Army.

It is not uncommon for the Geng brothers and sisters to have seen pigs running around even though they have never eaten pork. Although they have never fought in a war, they have seen crossbows.

However, when they saw the shelf set up behind the bed, they couldn't help but wonder. What was this shelf used for? Looking carefully, they saw that there was an iron iron fixed in each shelf.

The wheel was passed around the slide in the iron wheel with a rope and connected to the other two unfixed iron wheels, and the crossbow string was hooked with an iron hook.

"Load the arrow!" the herald ordered.

The sergeant quickly placed the three-foot iron-feathered giant arrow in the arrow trough. Then, something incredible happened to the brothers and sisters. Instead of pulling the giant string together, the soldiers pulled up the rope on the shelf with all their strength.

Stunned, everyone chanted "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey," and opened the crossbow string easily.

In fact, Yunfeng originally wanted to install a small pulley block on the bed crossbow, but the craftsmen could not meet his requirements for the time being, so he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Each moving pulley can save half the effort, and two can save three-quarters. It used to take thirty people to operate the string once, but now only eight people are needed, but Yunfeng still arranged for fifteen people to operate.

This can speed up the winding speed. It used to take thirty breaths to fire a giant arrow, but now fifteen breaths is enough.

"Fire!" The herald waved his flag, and as the giant string vibrated, eighty black lights simultaneously fired at the wooden fence on the opposite side. The bed crossbows did not attack separately, but in groups of five.

a little.

"Bang bang bang~!" There was a loud noise!

Amidst the flying sawdust, accompanied by the shrill screams of the sergeants at the rear, dozens of large holes suddenly appeared in the wooden fence!

There were also some Di soldiers who suddenly flew up and hit the gun-shield formation a few steps behind them in the blink of an eye. There were several loud noises, and the huge impact caused several shield walls to collapse on the spot.

.

It turned out that the giant arrows shot through the wooden fence but remained unabated. Some of the arrows hit the defenders and flew back with the corpses. In less than a blink of an eye, they were shot into the infantry formation, even though the wall

The shield was strong and thick, but it still penetrated several layers.

The face of Liu Qian, the general of the right army who led the defending army, changed drastically in an instant. The weapons of the Liangzhou Army were too terrifying. Although the number was not very large, if they were shot like this one after another, they would wear them to death! What’s more terrible is that the light

Failure to fight back when beaten will cause a fatal blow to morale!

After hesitating for a moment, he turned to the guerrilla general Qiu Zhongbo and ordered: "I order you to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack and destroy the enemy's giant crossbow!"

Qiu Zhongbo hesitated and said: "General, your Majesty just issued an order not to allow us to take the initiative to attack."

Liu Gan said displeased: "I don't know this, general? However, the enemy is very cunning. They rely on their giant crossbows to strike at a distance without making contact with our army. How long can our army last?"

In fact, he really guessed Yunfeng's mind. Yunfeng wanted to use the crossbow to destroy the opponent's wooden fence, but then used the trebuchet to fire oil bombs, driving the army forward step by step until Zhao was destroyed.

In the military camp, his purpose is not to annihilate the opponent's troops, but to pull out this nail!

Qiu Zhongbo didn't dare to send troops rashly. If he won, it would be easy to say that he would be responsible for the defeat. So he suggested: "How about... why don't you send a warning to the king for instructions?"

Liu Gan waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, go quickly!"

Not long after, five streaks of wolf smoke rose into the sky from the camp. After Zhu Ji saw it, he raised his hands to Liu Yue and said, "Your Majesty, the defenders below the city are asking for a fight. Please make a decision quickly."

Liu Yue could clearly see the situation under the city, and he also had a headache. Although he believed that the Liangzhou Army's giant arrows would not be too many, how could they destroy the wooden fence? At that time, the opponent's cavalry could charge directly.

What's the difference between entering the camp and fighting on the ground?

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's right!"

Taking advantage of this back and forth, the bed crossbow attacked four more rounds, and the trebuchet was also pushed up, ready for use at any time.

After five rounds of bombardment, the wooden fence on the opposite side had already swayed and collapsed. There were even gaps about ten feet wide in several places. The ground was covered with a thick layer of sawdust. The enemy sergeants also suffered certain casualties.

, but the number is not large, about a few hundred people, which can be ignored for the 40,000 defenders.

The Geng brothers also understood Yunfeng's intention and couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously. Theoretically speaking, this tactic of scraping flesh with a soft knife is indeed effective, as long as there are enough giant arrows and enough patience.

.But the problem is

, can the Liangzhou army have so many giant arrows? Judging from the current situation, there is no way to capture Zhao Guoying stronghold without tens of thousands of them. What's more, the bed crossbow cannot be used continuously, otherwise the crossbow string will be pulled twice in a row.

Thirty times, it will definitely be abolished!

Just when I was puzzled, something changed in the Zhao Jun camp opposite. The horn of "Woooo!" sounded. After groups of cavalry gathered in the camp, they immediately rushed out from the gate and the gap.

Each held up a round shield, and desperately urged the horses under him to rush towards the Liangzhou army formation.

The rumble of horse hooves resounded through the sky, and there was an obvious tremor in the earth. Geng Wenjun's expression suddenly changed drastically, his little hands tightly grasped the reins, and his eyes couldn't help but have a hint of fear. Think about it.

It is also normal for a girl of sixteen or seventeen to face the attack of thousands of troops for the first time, and she will inevitably feel panicked.

Yao Jing just caught Geng Wenjun's gaffe, "Tsk~!" She chuckled disdainfully: "Are you scared? If you are, go to the back!"

Geng Wenjun would not give in. He straightened his waist and pretended to be calm: "Huh! Who is afraid? I am not afraid!"

Yunfeng has no time to pay attention to the bickering between the two little girls. Honestly speaking, it is actually quite interesting to watch, but at this time...

Yunfeng gave the order to the herald, and the herald immediately waved his flag: "Trebuchet fire!"

"Buzz buzz~!" A continuous stream of kerosene bombs rose into the sky, and hundreds of graceful arcs appeared in the sky. With a roaring sound, they hit the waist of the cavalry formation heavily!

Some of the cavalrymen were hit and died on the spot. It can be said that they were very lucky. Others were unlucky and were stained by the scattered oil. In an instant, the men and horses were ignited in a raging fire!

The field was filled with heartbreaking howls and the neighing of horses. Under the severe pain, the horses kicked their hooves wildly and jumped around, and the knights who were covered in flames were repeatedly knocked to the ground.

! In the chaos, coupled with the constant fire oil bombs, the flames quickly spread into one piece, and the entire cavalry team was cut into two parts by the raging flames!

Seeing this horrifying scene, the cavalry in the rear immediately pulled the reins of their horses, but a considerable number of them still plunged into the sea of ​​​​fire with momentum!

The real hell is nothing more than this!
