Chapter 51: The Power of the Air Force and Ballista
"Air Force?" Tubo and the other princes looked over with pale faces, staring at Beichen in a daze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Wait a minute, sir!"
General Zhou's low answer sounded outside the door, and soon after, the sky suddenly remembered a loud "squeak" sound, and all the kings looked over, but their eyes suddenly widened, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Above the sky, a wooden kite of three or four meters circling and flying, after seeing it clearly, many kings are even more afraid, this wooden kite, and the traditional wooden kite is a little different, and the guide is arranged below the murderous bow and crossbow!
"What do you see is that?"
"Wooden kite, it's a wooden kite!"
When the 400,000 troops heard the loud noise, they all raised their heads and saw a wooden kite flying in the sky, its shape similar to that of a big bird, and its wings spread out three or four meters wide.
Wooden kites, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Eastern Zhou philosopher Mo Zhai (478-392 BC), spent three years, with wooden wooden kites, soared into the sky. Later, there was Luban erudite, good at craftsmanship and production, and also made flying wooden kites, flying for three days and three nights.
However, before the Great Song Dynasty, no one used the wooden kite on the battlefield until the famous Zhang Heng appeared......
"Whoosh!"
What the hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers did not expect was that when they were stunned, a rain of arrows suddenly fell in the sky, and the soldiers who were climbing the ladder to cross the wall did not have time to react, and were shot into a sieve.
A soldier looked at the wooden pimple in the sky, and retreated in fright, and roared in horror: "It's the pimple in the sky, that pimple will kill, run!" ”
"This ......"
At this moment, all the kings in the watchtower were anxious, just now they saw the soldiers who were about to attack the city, and there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but after seeing Beichen's air force rise into the air, after the damage caused from top to bottom, they were all confused.
The Turkic King stared at the wooden kite flying in the sky in a daze, as well as the extremely powerful wooden cart on the city wall, and a chill gradually rose in his heart, the gap was too big.
The Tang army is only 40,000, but his own side has 400,000, and the other party just relies on a few wooden lumps, and for a time the 400,000 army has suffered countless injuries, and now it is still going to break and flee?
"Brother Beichen, we will admit defeat in this battle, please stop immediately!"
King Bukarfan is in cold sweat on his forehead at the moment, it is different from the Tubo Turks and other large countries, Bukar is located in the middle of nowhere, but it is a barren and small country, once the 50,000 troops are lost here, Bukar is very likely to be destroyed.
Beichen smiled, looked at the Tubo and Turkic kings, but found that they were still gritting their teeth with black faces, Beichen sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, the show has just begun......"
After speaking, Beichen said unhappily outside the observation deck: "How did you do it?" How come the 40,000 army sent by this king is only 20,000 now? ”
"Don't worry, look northeast!" General Zhou was outside the observation deck and spoke with a smile.
Beichen doesn't need to look at it and knows it in his heart, but many of the kings in the observation deck are curious to look at the northeast, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, they were startled when they saw it, hundreds of meters away from the army, I don't know when there were many Tang troops.
The most trembling thing for them was not the 20,000 Tang troops, but the huge wooden carts in front of them, whose shape was the same as the wooden carts on the city wall, but the size looked a little different.
Outside the observation tower, General Zhou remembered Beichen's instructions in advance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, this wooden cart is the most powerful weapon in our southwest, called a ballista!" ”
Under the frightened pupils of the kings of all countries, General Zhou paused, and then said: "This crossbow car is more than ten meters long, more than a thousand gold, a bucket of arrows can be dozens, non-ten people can not pull, on the contrary, one arrow out, can kill dozens of people!" ”
Hearing these words clearly, the faces of several fan kings immediately changed greatly, they looked at Beichen in a panic, and hurriedly said: "Brother Bei, this battle can't be counted, it's all a joke just now, and I'll admit defeat." ”
"yes, it was all a joke just now, so I can't really ...... it"
wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, how many kings were scared, and they could kill dozens of people with one arrow? What a terrifying weapon of mass destruction, let alone attacking the city now, under that ballista, self-protection is a problem.
"Brother Bei, making such a killing weapon, Monger admires!" The Turkic King clasped his hands and looked at Beichen's eyes changed.
When everyone's eyes fell on King Tubo, King Tubo gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed and said: "We lost this battle, can Brother Bei retreat?" ”
This is very aggrieved, but also very helpless, the 400,000 troops of the five countries lost under the 40,000 Tang army of Beichen, these kings are both helpless and shocked.
"Well, don't worry, what General Zhou said is not true, you need to try it to know the power of this ballista!"
Who would have thought that Beichen would not be in a hurry, he looked at the fan kings with gloomy faces, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a sneer, and he secretly thought in his heart: If you say you don't fight, you won't fight? What about when it's a child's play?
The soldiers of the vassal kingdom outside the city of Yanyu were not stupid, and when they saw the soldiers intercepting in the rear, they hurriedly took out their shields one by one, wrapped the army tightly, and quickly launched a charge.
Although the wisest thing to do now is to move forward slowly, but it is not okay not to charge, the wooden kite in the sky is exerting its might, and one by one sharp arrows are falling like meteor showers, falling in the army and causing great casualties.
"Whew!"
Thirty ten-meter-long ballistas roared, and in an instant, sharp arrows more than ten meters long tore through the void and rushed towards the army of the vassal kingdom with an unstoppable posture.
"Click!"
There was a crisp sound everywhere, and the shield was useless, or it was directly torn apart, or it was shot through, and the arrow continued to shoot forward.
The fan king on the observation deck stared at the large area of casualties below, his heart was trembling, and Beichen proved with blood that who was the master of the war! Who is the king of this place!
"Brother Bei, I'm waiting to lose, I'm convinced!"
"Yes, Beichen's murderous weapon is looking down, I admire it!"
"Stop, we have no intention of making enemies with Brother Bei."
……
It's too fast, once the ballista on the plain is powerful, the lethality can be called terrifying, and several kings are frightened, and the arrogance just now, all of them are like deflated sheep.
Beichen sipped the fragrant tea in his hand and did not speak, at this time, a rough voice came from outside the observation platform: "The last general Su He visited the prince, this trip to the Tianshan Mountains, the last general killed more than 30,000 bandits, and reduced more than 60,000 bandits!" ”
"110,000 troops, 20,000 casualties, and the rest of the coefficients are brought back!"
Hearing Su He's voice, several kings turned pale, reinforcements came at this time? Isn't it adding fuel to the fire?
"Okay, General Su has worked hard......"
Beichen said, looking at the panicked kings of several countries, he understood in his heart what his kings were worried about, and laughed loudly: "This time is just a competition, you don't have to fight to the death, General Zhou...... Let's stop fighting! ”
