Later, the great inventor Ma Jun improved it,

This makes it a more practical weapon with a single crossbow and five arrows.

But that's all history.

In this day and age,

Due to the appearance of Lu Bu,

changed a lot of things,

including this crossbow,

Also because of Lu Bu's improvement,

Whether it's power or something else,

has been further improved,

And Lu Bu consciously promoted this kind of mass killing weapon in the army,

Later, Ma Jun joined,

Decades of effort ahead,

will be the kind of "Zhuge Repeater" that has been widely rumored in later generations,

It was developed in advance,

It's just that now,

Changed the name to "Mars's Repeater".

Bows and crossbows were introduced to Western countries from China very early.

But on the battlefields of Europe,

The appearance of crossbows was as late as the Middle Ages.

The army of ancient Russia began to use crossbows in the 10th century AD,

It was only at the end of the 11th century that Western European countries "saw a period in which bows and crossbows flourished."

Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) was shot twice by a crossbow arrow,

He died of his injuries in the second time.

Such a great man,

Died at the hands of an ordinary or lowly soldier,

Simply appalling for the aristocracy,

For this reason, in the twelfth century,

The Pope tried to ban the use of crossbows on the grounds of cruelty.

But that's all for later,

In this day and age,

These people of the Kushan Empire,

Whether it's a high-ranking general,

Or ordinary soldiers at the bottom,

They have never seen the power of crossbow arrows.

This time, I felt it myself,

The lethality of this horror.

They also thought that this was a special bow and arrow used by the Han army,

But no matter how much they ponder,

I can't imagine it,

What kind of bow and arrow, exactly,

It can have such terrifying lethality.

Tucker looked at all this with a solemn face,

The enemy's hateful trebuchets are still attacking,

The troops on their side want to rush out,

But I had to face those lethal and terrifying attacks,

In addition, he is still worried,

Since the enemy has arranged this position,

I'm afraid of the tricks to prepare,

There must be more than just this,

But now,

He could not have predicted,

What kind of tricks did the other party prepare,

But this feeling of waiting,

It really made him very unhappy.

"General, those guys don't know what weapons they used, and there are too many of them, it's only been a short time, and they have lost hundreds of people, so now we should go and do it?"

The commander who led the cavalry out of the camp before,

Running over covered in blood,

And he had two feathered arrows stuck in his right arm,

He spoke to Tucker with a sad face.

Tucker wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the confidant,

This is one of the brave generals he trusts,

and the force of his men is not trivial,

However, he was also hit by several arrows,

One can imagine how fierce the enemy's firepower was.

"Carlos, do you see the enemy clearly?"

Tucker was anxious,

But he forced himself to calm down,

Ask your subordinates directly about the situation.

Carlos had a rare look of horror on his face,

He quickly shook his head,

"I'm sorry General, but the night was dark, and we didn't see the enemy at all. However, according to the general's estimate, those enemy forces were at least two hundred paces away from us, otherwise it would not have been possible to go unnoticed. Moreover, the feathered arrows flew so fast that we barely heard a sound of breaking through the air, and many of our brothers fell. The last general was lucky not to be shot in the vital part, so he was able to escape! ”

After hearing Carlos's explanation,

Tucker's face became even more gloomy,

He had already overestimated this weapon of the enemy as much as possible.

But now it seems,

or far beyond his imagination,

Tucker was relieved to let Carlos go out of camp at night,

It's because this person is also a marksman,

Whether it's the power of the eyes or the ears,

are all within the reach of people,

Since he said that the enemy's troops,

The distance is at least two hundred paces away,

So the actual distance,

It will be only far away, not near.

At such a distance,

The enemy's weapons can still be so powerful,

Those feathered arrows were able to penetrate two layers of hard armor,

Even some shields were pierced,

This is no ordinary bow and arrow can do any damage,

It's just that such a weapon,

Don't say they haven't seen it before,

Now that I have encountered it,

But there is no suitable way to resolve it.

At this moment, we can't waste time,

For these inexplicable questions,

Tucker just stopped thinking,

Intensify the manpower to extinguish the fire in the rear of the camp,

At this time,

Those armies outside the camp,

Also under the leadership of the generals,

Charged towards the hill where the boulder was thrown,

In the darkness there was only one fiery dragon,

Moving quickly towards the mountain,

In the process of moving,

It seems to have encountered a blockage as well,

There was a burst of confusion,

Tucker made a quick decision,

Command the cavalry to strike again,

Capture that hill at all costs.

It didn't take long for Tucker to make up his mind,

The fire meteor that fell from the top of the hill,

And gradually stopped,

It was as if the other party had fully detected his thoughts.

Without the attacks of those meteors,

The camp of the Kushan Empire,

Finally settled,

The soldiers can calmly extinguish the flames,

You don't have to worry about being smashed into a pulp by a boulder that suddenly appears.

The two fiery dragons did not hinder them in any way,

Successfully rushed to the vicinity of the hill,

It should be those Han Dynasty troops,

Disappeared before they arrived.

In the darkness of the night, Tucker couldn't see exactly what was going on.

Half an hour passed,

The troops who had gone out finally returned to the camp,

Those troops who arrived later,

But until this time,

Still not able to fully reach the camp,

But Tucker also got the news from there,

It turned out that in the attention of Tucker et al.,

When it's all concentrated here,

The rear army suffered a serious blow again,

This time, traumatized,

It can be described as miserable,

lost the lives of thousands of soldiers,

The weight of those weapons that have been lost or damaged,

There are countless more,

After getting the news, Tucker,

I was almost so angry that I didn't come up in one breath,

His friend,

He fainted on the spot.

Wait until the remnants of the rear army are defeated,

When I finally entered the camp,

The sky is already bright,

Dazzling morning light, 90 looks

Hope for the earth,

But in the eyes of these soldiers of the Kushan Empire,

But it's so dazzling,

For the first time,

The morning sun is so unpleasant.

The entire camp of the Kushan Empire,

can only be described as a mess,

The back door was completely burned,

There are still puffs of black smoke in many places,

Burned tents and buildings can be seen everywhere in the camp.

There are countless corpses that have not had time to converge.

Every soldier of the Kushan Empire,

There are deep palpitations and tiredness on their faces,

They tossed all night last night,

Almost never stopped,

After entering the Western Regions,

They've always been smooth,

He has experienced such a blow,

Not only did they suffer heavy losses,

to their hearts and spirits,

It is a very serious blow.

There are even quite a few soldiers,

Sitting on the ground with blank eyes,

It's as if he's lost his spirit.

All this happening in the camp,

Tucker looked at them one by one,

His face was terrible,

Gritting his teeth, he commanded:

"Out of the battle! Destroy those Han army camps for me! ”

"Huh?"

The commander of the pro-army thought that his ears were poor,

I didn't sleep all night last night,

Could it be that the ears are hallucinating?

He turned to look at Tucker,

But when you see each other's looks,

Immediately understood,

hurriedly replied:

"Order!"

Although the commander of the army was shocked that Tucker gave such an order at this time,

But he, who received the commandment,

Still feeling indescribably excited,

The battle last night was too embarrassing,

For one night, I didn't see even the shadow of the enemy,

was killed by the other party,

For the almost invincible army of the Kushan Empire,

It's a shame.

Although I experienced a whole night without rest,

But to be able to go and take revenge,

still makes him full of fighting spirit,

Not only him, but also the soldiers who went out with the army,

After getting the order,

All swept away tired,

Everyone rushed out in high spirits.

Tucker directly sent 30,000 cavalry troops this time,

That's almost all the cavalry he can use now.

Tucker stood outside the camp gate,

Looking at the 30,000 cavalry troops that left in a menacing manner,

I've been looking at it,

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Another figure appeared beside him,

It's Tucker's best friend,

The main general who led the team to support last night - Veget.

Vegit looked at the large army that was drifting away,

With a solemn face, he said to Tucker:

"Wouldn't it be too risky to send a large army out at this time?"

His gaze turned to his friend,

A faint worry lingers in my heart,

He was afraid of his friend because of last night's surprise attack,

Disturbed by anger,

affected the judgment,

It's not just about losing some people.

Tucker turned slowly,

Although his eyes were bloodshot with scarlet,

But still bright and bright,

When he looked at Veget,

is also very sober,

"What's wrong? Afraid I'll get carried away by anger? ”

was told by Tucker that he was in his heart,

Vegett rubbed her nose a little embarrassed.

A faint smile appeared on Tucker's face and said:

"Don't worry, don't you know what kind of person I am."

After a pause, Tucker put away the smile on his face,

With a hint of helplessness in his face,

There was also a little bit of anger and said:

"The attack last night was so sudden, and the enemy fire was terrible, and it was my responsibility not to anticipate it. The fighters are used to it, after last night's blow, many people can't accept it at all, at this time, what they need most is to be able to lift their spirits!"

"But ......"

Tucker then interrupted Veget's words:

"I know what you're worried about, I've been worried before, but after last night's battle, I'm almost certain that those tens of thousands of people are bluffing. If the other party really has so many numbers, plus those terrible weapons, I am afraid that M will not be as simple as eating the flowing oil empty dragon in a single mouth, and it is possible that a group of people will be able to enter the gong, and the one who eats Jie and the ten days of the mountain will not just launch a surprise last night, it is very likely that there will be a full-scale attack. With that kind of firepower last night, what do you think we can do? ”

Vegette thought of the horrific bow and arrow shooting of last night,

And the catapult attack that is very far away,

I can't help but feel a burst of heart palpitations,

Looking at the departing army again,

and the Han army camp in the distance, under the morning light,

His face was finally not so ugly,

For Tucker's analysis,

He is quite trusting,

Though they were hit hard last night,

But such a massive attack,

The Han army must also be mobilizing the people,

Most of the soldiers must have been very tired,

At such times, if you go to war,

Presumably it can achieve good results,

In this way, the morale of the fighters can also be restored a lot.

Although Tucker was very optimistic,

But when he turned his head to look at the Han army camp in the distance,

There was still a hint of worry flashing in the depths of his eyes,

Fang Cai's words,

It's not so much that it's going to be for Veget,

It's better to comfort himself,

Since the generals of the old army were able to arrange the night attack that was coordinated last night,

I won't think that this morning,

may suffer retaliation from your own side,

So in this case,

There are only two possibilities for the enemy,

One is that it is indeed as he said,

Therefore, the number of troops is not large,

Then it must have been evacuated,

The big camp was just an empty camp,

If this is the case,

Then you can recover the lost military spirit.

This is also the best ending that Taka is looking forward to,

Another possibility,

The enemy is waiting for them to attack,

If this is the case,

Then there is a good chance that they will face a bitter battle again,

Or even a fiasco,

However, this probability is not high.

As Tucker said before,

If the other party really has such strength,

Last night was definitely not going to be a simple attack.

Fortunately, Tucker had communicated with the commander in advance.

If a large number of enemy troops are found,

Don't be in love with war,

Immediately retreat back to the camp,

Even if the other party is ambushed,

But if you don't take the bait,

can also disrupt the opponent's deployment,

And it can also be used to find out the reality of the enemy.

It can also be said to be a perfect strategy for attacking and retreating.

"Meng Qi, as expected by the right sacrificial wine, those guys sent a large army out of the camp, and the target was our previous camp."

Pound stood behind a boulder,

Looking at the Kushan army in the distance,

On his side is the bored Ma Chao,

Lying flat on the grass,

With a grass root in his mouth,

Basking in the sun with your hands behind your head.
