Chapter 172: Wang Li's Bounty
In the small woods six hundred meters away from the gate of the camp, hundreds of people were hidden in the dense grass!
"Hurry, hurry, are you ready? Remember, you only get one chance! ”
Wang Li inspected back and forth, his face extremely excited.
As a family of generals, he can also be regarded as a famous general of Great Qin, and the 100,000 army led by him was appointed as the vanguard.
And Meng Tian was left behind in the frontier.
Although both are old partners, they also have the meaning of competing with each other.
It's just that the two of them are both from Jiangmen, so the competition is relatively peaceful, and there is no meaning that anyone looks down on anyone.
Although in the border army, Wang Li is only a deputy general, and Meng Tian is the commander.
However, Meng Tian's family background was there, and he was suppressed, but he didn't feel that there was anything unacceptable.
If it was replaced by Zhang Han, the result would be different.
The family backgrounds are different, and they don't like each other, and they are calculating each other.
Therefore, in the original trajectory, Wang Li was placed by Zhang Han and sold to Xiang Yu's army!
Now it's different, Wang Li, as a pioneer, as long as he makes enough military achievements, he can be on an equal footing with his old opponent Meng Tian, can you not be excited!
Even though he clearly knew that Meng Tian was able to sit on the frontier because of Gongzi's trust.
But so what, as long as you win a few more battles and show the loyalty of the Wang family, you can also be reused!
At least in terms of the identity of the bright side, he will not be a short old partner anymore!
In this war, in order to reduce the resistance of the opposite side, he was assigned the task of decapitation.
In the grass, ten converted bed crossbows lined up.
On each bed crossbow, there is also a fist-sized, long telescope!
The special bowstring was fully drawn, and the thumb-thick steel arrowhead emitted an icy cold light.
With the range of Daqin's ordinary bed crossbow, it is also a distance of 570 meters in three hundred steps.
The distance between the two sides was more than six hundred paces, and the range of the Great Qin Bed Crossbow could not reach the other side at all.
Moreover, the accuracy of the bed crossbow is extremely poor, and it is impossible to kill the enemy at this distance.
This is the cognition of all Great Qin soldiers.
However, Fusu's crossbow range reached 400 steps, the car crossbow reached 800 steps, and the larger bed crossbow even reached a range of 1,000 steps!
Of course, the range is there.
However, whether or not you can shoot the enemy at this maximum distance can only depend on the will of God.
Thankfully, the glass mill gave an unexpected surprise.
After Fusu put forward the idea, the craftsmen finally made a sight on the basis of the telescope after continuous attempts.
An effective shooting range of 800 steps, coupled with a scope, is simply a decapitation weapon!
In order to be safe, Wang Li arrogantly moved all ten new-style bed crossbows to the woods.
The two armies have been facing each other for months, and they have long been itching to fight.
Now that he is a pioneer, he must get off to a good start!
This battle is no longer a question of whether or not it can be won.
It's about how to play with the greatest momentum and how to achieve the strategic goals of the childe!
Wang Li patrolled back and forth behind a row of bed crossbows, and promised: "Aim a little, as long as you shoot the enemy guard, in addition to military merits, this general will be rewarded with an additional 1,000 gold!" ”
Suddenly, the sergeants who controlled the bed crossbow turned red with excitement, and even their fingers trembled slightly.
He looked at the markings carved on the arrows and swallowed his saliva excitedly.
Each stout arrow was marked so that it was easy to identify which bed had fired the crossbow so that it could be rewarded.
At the same time, it is more motivating!
At this distance, it is impossible for all ten bed crossbows to hit the target.
Out of ten arrows, if three arrows hit the target, you will burn high incense!
However, with the lethality of the bed crossbow, as long as it is shot, the defending general will be crippled even if he does not die.
It's impossible to continue standing and commanding the battle!
As soon as the Lord falls, defeat is not far away.
The reward of 3,000 gold can still afford it with Wang Li's family background!
It's just a few thousand gold, and it's nothing compared to being able to successfully win the first credit!
"General's order, go to war!"
A herald ran to the grove and delivered the order to ascend.
Wang Li raised his eyebrows, and his face showed excitement.
Turning his head and giving the order: "Order the vanguard cavalry to prepare, and attack immediately when you hear the signal!" ”
Immediately, the herald beside him also hurried towards the phalanx.
On the humble city tower, the guard's face was gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and stared coldly at the opposite army in the distance.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at the defenders behind him, and his heart continued to sink.
Although it was far away, you could also see the black armor of Qingyishui in the battle array on the opposite side.
Most of the defenders behind him wore cloth clothes, and only a few elites wore defensive armor.
In terms of equipment, it is far inferior to the other party!
With the current erosive situation in Great Qin, it would be good to be able to let these soldiers eat a full meal and have cloth clothes to wear!
The people have all been sent to build the Great Wall and the Emperor's Mausoleum, and even the people who farm have been conscripted to the two armies to confront each other, how can there be people to make ordnance!
The guard drew his sword, raised it high, and said loudly: "Stop the rebels, I will ask for credit to Your Majesty for you!" After this battle, everyone was knighted! ”
The military order was transmitted, and the low morale was suddenly boosted by the stimulation of military achievements.
Only the generals who knew the details had gloomy faces, pursed their lips and did not speak.
I muttered secretly in my heart: "If you really block the enemy's attack, let alone be knighted, it is possible to rise from the head of the Qiantou to the hairpin!" The premise is that if you can stand it, you have to be alive! ”
50,000 against 100,000, if you really want to block it, how many enemies will you kill!
Knighthood, it's really not a problem.
But the risks are also huge!
Anyway, the generals who understand the disparity in the strength of the two sides are not optimistic about this battle.
If you really want to defend to the end, I'm afraid that few of these 50,000 horses will survive.
The guard raised his sword aloft, his eyes scanning the black-pressed army behind the camp gate, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.
I secretly muttered in my heart: "People's hearts are available!" ”
As long as they can block the enemy's attack, these sergeants do not care about their lives or deaths.
It is definitely a great merit to really hold off the enemy's attack with 50,000 men.
When the reinforcements arrive, the enemy is repulsed, and the meritorious deeds are rewarded, are you still afraid that there will be no soldiers in your hands?
Promoted to marquis, that's just around the corner!
Danger and opportunity, that coexists!
The guard looked at the morale that was rising under the shouts, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
suddenly
The sharp sound of breaking through the air pierced the air and reached the ears.
The guard was shocked, and immediately reacted in his mind: it's a crossbow arrow! Are the enemy forces stupid?
The two sides were separated by a distance of three hundred steps, and Great Qin's most powerful bed crossbow could not shoot here.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to be arrogant and expose himself to a high place to lecture!
At the moment of surprise, a huge force hit the back.
Poof!
There were two muffled sounds, and two streams of blood spurted out of his chest.
In the splattered blood, two arrows pierced through.
Knock knock!
Thumb-thick arrows pierced through the armor and body, and plunged straight into the stake!
The Guard's body flew into the air under the penetrating force, his eyes wide with incredulity.
Only one thought echoed through my mind:
"This, this can't be!"
