Chapter 310: Qin Crossbow
"Wind!"
"Gale!"
"Bang!"
The 30,000 soldiers roared in unison, and the weapons in their hands slapped on the shield, making an earth-shattering sound.
The wind, in the Qin army, is not the literal "wind", but the sound of "hong/feng", which is the sound of orders and the beat of the whole army's movements.
When stepping forward to march, the Qin army will vibrate and shout "wind" in unison.
When you want to raise the qi, the Qin army will exhale and call "wind" in unison.
It can be said that the "wind" is to increase the prestige of the army, the second is to help the momentum, and the third is to unify the beat. Over time, the wind, also known as Qin Feng.
And "Gale", as the name suggests, is both majestic and majestic.
Therefore, "Gale" also refers to the Great Qin Heavy Weapon--- bed crossbow. Because of the bed crossbow, it can show the majesty of Great Qin.
When the Qin army swept through the six countries, every time it attacked a city, the whole army would shout "strong wind, strong wind", followed by the ten thousand arrows of heavy crossbows, and the roofs and wall panels were unstoppable, which could be said to be terrifying!
With a "strong wind", a group of soldiers immediately sent bundles of heavy crossbow arrows to the bed crossbow.
At this time, the two armies were six hundred paces apart, and the effective range of the bed crossbow was up to eight hundred paces.
However, even so, Meng Tian still didn't seem to be satisfied, he wanted to bring all the enemy's phalanx into the effective range of the bed crossbow, and under a wave of heavy crossbow attacks, he would kill his entire army on his back and turn on his horse, leaving no armor.
Therefore, Meng Tian immediately ordered again: "Hundred steps forward!" ”
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
A dozen heavy crossbows, at the forefront, advancing forward.
And behind the bed crossbow, followed by 30,000 Qin troops, they followed in unison. Every step is a "wind" in unison.
A hundred steps away, and it will be soon.
Meng Tian shouted again: "Load the arrows!" ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen bed crossbows quickly installed arrows.
For this large weapon, there is a special person in charge of installing the arrows.
Because the arrows of this weapon are very large, similar to the spears of soldiers, it is also called "one gun and three sword arrows", and because of its different ways of use, it has another name: stepping arrows, shooting arrows on the city wall, and siege soldiers can climb the tower with arrows to complete the siege task.
It is said that after the bed was improved by Wei Pi in the Song Dynasty, the range of the bed was increased from the previous 700 steps to 1,000 steps, that is, more than 1,000 meters.
In short, once a person is shot by such a terrible arrow, the end is like a skewer on a barbecue stand. Because an arrow goes out, if it is close, it can penetrate more than a dozen people......
At the same time, in the camp of the coalition forces.
Seeing that the Qin army had advanced another hundred steps, King Sara couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "King Gaoshan, how should we deal with this battle?" Do you have a plan? ”
King Vado also hurried to look at the King of the Mountains.
The King of the Mountains said confidently: "Don't look at the Qin army's monstrous momentum and look invincible in the world, in fact, it is not difficult to defeat him. ”
"Oh?"
At this moment, Sara and King Vado were a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Does the King of the Mountains have a way to win?" ”
King Gao Shan nodded proudly and said with a smile: "This king naturally has a plan. We have been fighting with Shaohao for four months, and we are already very familiar with the weapons of the Qin army, their long-range attack weapons bow and arrow, the range can reach 400 steps, although it is stronger than our bow and arrow, if we use bows and arrows to shoot at them, we will naturally suffer losses, and we will definitely lose. ”
Sara and King Vado nodded, feeling the same thing.
Seeing that the two agreed with him, the King of the Mountains was satisfied, and continued, "However, if we attack with javelins, we may be able to win. ”
"Javelins?" The two kings frowned, and King Vado wondered, "The gun can only throw fifty paces, which is not as long as the range of our bows and arrows." ”
"Yes, why does the King of the Mountains think that javelins can be combated?" King Sara was also confused.
The King of the Mountains smiled, "You don't understand this, do you?" The javelin in the hands of our brave force belongs to the heavy javelin, with strong lethality, once it is thrown into the body, it can directly penetrate the body, this kind of deterrent power can be described as terrifying, and it is by no means comparable to a bow and arrow. ”
"What's more, everyone in our brave force has javelins, so as long as our warriors can rush within fifty paces, 30,000 javelins will be fired in unison. Oh, what if the Qin army has bronze weapons, 30,000 javelins landed, so they had no return, and they died tragically! As for those who were lucky to be alive, it was estimated that they were already frightened at that time, so they had to flee in defeat, hahaha! ”
When he talked about Xingzhi, the King of the Mountains couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly.
To be honest, he himself couldn't help but want to admire his use of soldiers like a god, brave, resourceful, and brave, isn't he talking about people like himself?
Sure enough, when King Sara and King Vado heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help but stretch out their thumbs, and King Sara praised with a look of adoration: "The King of the Mountains is really a good strategy!" Admire, admire! ”
King Vado also said: "At the moment of disadvantage, but can come up with a way to win, the way of using troops of the King of the Mountains is indeed admirable!" ”
The King of the Mountains proudly stopped: "Don't praise too much, this is against the modest character of this king." Hahaha......"
The smug laughed a few times, then glanced at the Qin army in front of him, and saw that the distance between the two armies was no more than five hundred steps, so he said, "I think it's time to start charging!" ”
King Sara and Vado nodded.
Therefore, the king of the mountains immediately ordered: "Warriors of our coalition army, the victory in this battle lies in bravery. Rush forward for me, throw your javelins, and kill them for me!" ”
"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! ”
The 30,000 soldiers of the coalition army were also aroused for a while.
"Rush forward, don't be cowardly!"
The king of the high mountain shouted, and the 30,000 soldiers of the coalition army suddenly rushed towards the Qin army five hundred steps away......
…………
"Is there going to be war now......
Shaohao City, on the city wall.
Seeing the coalition army launch an attack with a roar, Shaohao's subjects all held their breath.
Although the Qin army's army is intimidating, the courage of the coalition army has to be admitted, so everyone is still very worried about the outcome of this battle.
If the Qin army can win, Shaohao will have no worries, and if the Qin army is defeated, Shaohao will really have no hope.
From the old king to the ordinary people, they all watched the battle outside the city tightly, extremely nervous.
"You say...... Can Great Qin win? ”
"Yes...... Let's do it! After all, he looked really strong and well-equipped. It's just that...... The coalition forces are planning to rush forward and use javelins to kill the enemy, and it seems that even if the Qin army can win this time, it will pay a heavy price. ”
Everyone nodded, the lethality of the heavy javelin, they were very clear, very terrifying.
…………
Four hundred and eighty steps!
Four hundred and seventy steps!
Four hundred and sixty steps......
Seeing that his allied warriors were brave and invincible, the King of the Mountains was full of confidence, and turned to Sara and King Vado and said, "Look, our warriors are our brave and invincible, haha, as long as it goes forward three hundred ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from the Qin army's array:
"Wind! Gale! Gale! ”
Then, before everyone could react, a series of whistling sounds were heard.
Spear-like arrows shot straight at the coalition ranks.
The bed crossbow has a range of up to 700 steps, and now the coalition forces have rushed closer to more than 400 steps, so close at such a distance, the bed crossbow can be said to be amazingly lethal.
Spears, with the terrifying power of machinery, pierced the chests of soldiers with a single breath. Each spear and arrow can penetrate more than a dozen people!
Burst!
A soldier rushed forward to kill, and suddenly his chest seemed to be hit by something, and when he looked down, he was left with only a bloody hole.
Looking behind him, more than a dozen people behind him were also stunned, looking down at the expression on their chests, and then ...... A string of people fell. Before they died, none of them could believe that it was caused by the same arrow.
The shock brought by this lethality directly made the coalition soldiers show frightened expressions.
Although it was only a dozen heavy crossbows, the deterrent effect it brought had already made the coalition forces panic.
And in this trance, the coalition forces have rushed closer to four hundred paces.
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
Then, 30,000 Qin troops took bows and arrows, and with Meng Tian's "release", 10,000 arrows were fired in unison!
"Whew!"
Suddenly, when the sky and the sun were covered, the dense arrows broke through the air with terror, and directly covered the coalition forces......
