Just as Jing Zhao Yingyang, who had never seen a cavalry wall formation so that he suffered heavy casualties, he had also never seen such a scale of Jinyang soldiers and crossbows fired at the same time, and they also paid the price of flesh and blood and even their lives for their lack of knowledge.
The Li family, as the head of the Northland family, is also a figure who started from the military Han of the Six Towns of Xianbei, so he naturally knows what the Wanjun Divine Crossbow is. But even with the wealth and status of the Li family, a large amount of money and a large number of craftsmen in the Jinyang Palace who will be used as supervisors cannot afford to spend a lot of money on building giant crossbows.
The Wanjun Divine Crossbow possessed by the entire Jinyang was extremely limited, and it was stored in the city as a weapon to defend the city, in case the enemy soldiers took advantage of the weakness. Li Yuanji ordered someone to pass on the message, threatening that the executive department might come to commit crimes, but Li Yuan was still able to maintain his composure. In addition to doubting whether the Deacon Department has the courage and ability to sneak attack Jinyang, it is also because those Wanjun Divine Crossbows are in the city. Even if the Ruling Department really came to attack, relying on these giant crossbows would be enough to maneuver for a while.
The number of giant crossbows in Jinyang City is dozens of times different from the giant crossbows posed by Yin Hongde at this time? The wealthy Li family only has this bit of belongings, not to mention others.
There are countless cities in the Great Sui, among which there are many famous cities in Tongdu Dayi, but there are only a handful of cities with Wanjun crossbows. Even if there is such a sharp weapon to defend the city, it is only a few planes. No matter how powerful the crossbow bolts are, they are limited, and it is impossible for so many divine crossbows to be fired at the same time in a row.
Even when the north and the south were competing for supremacy, there were never so many giant crossbows on the battlefield at the same time. Whether it was the local Hedong Eagle Yang soldiers in Jinyang or the reckless rebels who came under the command of the Li family along the way, they didn't expect to be covered by the overwhelming salvo of giant crossbows. Without any precautions, he naturally suffered a big loss.
Shi Laoqi is a fire chief, and he has been a soldier in Yingyang Mansion in Hedong for many years. He was originally a waste man with no skills, although he had all the strength, but he couldn't hold the plow, and he only used a knife to kill people. They have no skills and do not want to endure hardships, and they have nothing but to fiddle with weapons, and such people are looked down upon even in the countryside. Even if he was a soldier, he didn't have a good life according to the military system of 45 days a year in the peaceful years. It wasn't until Li Yuan entered Jinyang and changed the rotation of the Yingyang Mansion to permanent service that he found a way to live.
All the faults have become strengths in the army, and he has become a fire commander by virtue of his strength. As the years go by, there are many thoughts, originally only for two meals and one night so as not to die of cold and starvation, but now they want to start a family and continue the incense. It's just that this kind of thing is okay to think about, but it's not easy to put it into practice. Even if Li Yuan was benevolent, he was willing to reward his subordinates, but the wealth was passed over by the generals from top to bottom, and there was only a limit left in the hands of the fire chief. Besides, Shi Lao Qixi is in the cup, and he is good at gambling for fun, the money is in and out of the right hand with the left hand, and there is no savings on his body, which good girl is willing to give it to him?
As he grew older, it became more and more difficult to start a family, and it was not until Li Yuan led the army to go on the expedition this time that he saw some hope.
The Yin Shishi drove the people out of the city and forbade the people to carry their belongings, even if Li Yuan was willing to accept and provide food, there were still many people who had a difficult livelihood and could not take care of much in order to survive. Shi Laoqi took a fancy to a woman, her husband was hacked and killed by officers and soldiers on the spot because he refused to leave home, and the woman took the baby out of the city crying, but she didn't know how to live.
After all, Li Yuan could only save her for a while, and he couldn't control her for the rest of his life, and if he wanted to survive in such troubled times and raise his children, he always had to find someone to rely on. She is a woman who has no ideas, and she doesn't ask for much, as long as she can take out some goods to ensure that she and her children are fed and clothed, she will remarry. For Shi Laoqi, at this age, the requirements will naturally drop again and again, and such a woman is a blessing from God.
He had no savings in his hands, and the situation of the sergeant Xiangshan was similar to that of him, they were all poor men with bare pockets, and if they wanted to get a fortune to get a wife, they had to find a way from the city. Shi Laoqi made a lot of effort to let himself enter Li Shimin's vanguard army, in order to be the first to enter the city and make a fortune.
He heard that Chang'an City was full of money, and now there are no people, and no matter how much he tosses, he will not be punished by military law. Just find a courtyard and rush in, and you can fulfill your dream of starting a family. It was Li Shimin's order that he rushed to the front, whether it was random arrows or rolling wood or stones, he couldn't stop his heart to start a family. In order to marry that woman, it is worth it to fight for your life.
Although Shi Laoqi has not fought many battles, he has also been trained for several years, especially if he has a good side hand, and he asks himself if he can survive in the chaotic army. Before going on the expedition, he specially begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to get a piece of shabby cloth armor to wear, and wearing an extra layer of armor on the battle array would give him an extra chance of survival, which was also the origin of his courage. The arrows on Fang Caicheng's head were like rain, and Shi Laoqi's cards were densely packed with arrow shafts, but he was not injured is also proof.
Shi Laoqi, who had never seen a crossbow since he joined the army, didn't know what was put out of the city. When the giant crossbow was fired, he still regarded it as a more powerful crossbow arrow and did not take it to heart, and blocked the side card in front of his chest, and rushed towards the city gate with a shout. With a loud noise, Shi Laoqi saw rows of crossbow arrows shooting down from the city, and then felt a huge force on his arm.
This force was terrifyingly great, and the side cards carefully crafted by the Jinyang Inspector became as thin as paper paste in front of this force, and they were smashed in just an instant. Then this force rushed all the way down Shi Laoqi's arm, shattering the armor, cloth armor, arm bones, and then rushing into his chest.
Shi Laoqi couldn't control his body anymore, and his original forward figure was hit by this huge force that couldn't help but fall backwards, and the two fellow fire robes didn't have time to dodge, and they fell left and right as soon as they were hit by his body. It wasn't until he bumped into his comrade that Shi Laoqi felt pain.
It was a heart-wrenching pain, from the arms to the heart and lungs, and it only made Shi Laoqi, an old soldier who was accustomed to endure hardships, cry in an instant. He wanted to open his mouth to scream, but found that he couldn't scream, all the energy in his body was lost with severe pain, and his body was uncontrollable, and he fell to the side of the road.
He lowered his head, and then realized the thick crossbow bolt on his chest. Whether it was the armor issued by Tang Guogong for the soldiers, or his own life-saving cloth armor, it was meaningless in front of this thick crossbow. He could already see the surging blood flowing out of the crossbow arrow, although it was impossible to see how much blood was flowing out in the night, but Shi Laoqi was sure that he was about to die.
In the last moments of his life, he had in his mind the appearance of the woman. In fact, he had never seen the woman's appearance clearly, and he could not remember it clearly, but in his heart he firmly believed that this woman was beautiful, and died for her...... It's worth it.
Naturally, there is more than one Shi Laoqi who died. Because the distance between the two sides is too close, and the formation of Jinyang's soldiers and horses is too dense, there is almost no possibility of missing this round of crossbow shots. The blood mist exploded, and countless lives came to an end the moment the crossbow was fired. Not satisfied with the crossbow bolt's easy penetration of the target's chest and abdomen, he continued to move forward with the powerful force brought by the machine, until he put the second and third targets on his body together, and then stopped with satisfaction.
Li Shimin and Xuanjia Cavalry were also under the threat of crossbows, and in the face of this kind of powerful crossbow with a range of up to 700 steps, everyone did not dare to boast that they were safe. Li Shimin saw that his knowledge was far above that of ordinary soldiers, and the moment Yin Hongde showed his crossbow, he realized that the situation was not good, and tore his throat and shouted: "Everyone be careful!" Walk away from ......"
As he spoke, he looked back at Bu Li, wanting to remind the little wolf girl of the power of this crossbow and let her hide quickly. When I didn't want to look back, I found that the little wolf girl was still gone, and then I realized that this little girl was not as weak as she looked. Although he is not good at dealing with strong bows and crossbows, he also has means of self-protection. She is not Xu Le's little tail, let alone a concubine, but one of the members of the Xuanjia Cavalry, and she is also a warrior who can cut and break the formation, and she does not need the protection of others.
Xuanjia cavalry, other sergeants, and even Li Shimin himself, were in a more dangerous situation at this time. At the same time as Li Shimin turned around to look for Bu Li, Li Ying, the general next to him, jumped up from his horse with a loud shout and pounced on Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't have time to react, so he was hugged by Li Ying and fell off the horse. Li Ying, as a family general, has the consciousness of martyrdom for the Lord, and when he pounced on Li Shimin, he had already seen the direction, ensuring that he was located below as a meat pad for the main general, and when he landed, he was on the lower Li Shimin's residence, although the weight of the armor was not light, but Li Shimin himself did not feel pain, but his head was slightly dizzy.
Although the person was not hurt, he was still angry. Li Shimin was furious and said: "What are you doing ......?"
He closed his mouth before he could finish his reprimand, and his eyes looked straight at where he was. Originally, there were their favorite mounts, and there were also Xuanjia soldiers and horses, but in an instant, the situation was very different.
At least three crossbow arrows pierced through the horse's body, and the blood plasma that shot out even fell on Li Shimin's head, pouring him a spirit. With a wail, the hard-to-buy BMW fell toward where he was. This time, Li Shimin didn't need to be reminded, and rolled on the spot and fled to the side. But one after another, more horses and armored sergeants smashed in. Fortunately, he was agile, rolling left and right to dodge, and he was never hit by human corpses or horse corpses.
Li Shimin was not happy because of this, but his heart was as painful as a knife. He could recognize that the corpses of these horses belonged to the Xuanjia Rider. This elite cavalry, which has been painstakingly trained into an army, should have been a treasure knife for himself to fight in the world and sweep the princes, but he didn't want to lose it. In the big battle of Pujin, the losses were negligible, but in this round of Wanjun Divine Crossbow salvo, the casualties were probably not dozens of people. For the total number of Xuanjia riders who were only about two hundred, this loss could already be regarded as a major injury to the muscles and bones. Compared with the deaths and injuries of these soldiers, what worries Li Shimin more is the safety of Xu Le in the city.
The Netherworld's giant crossbow will not only be aimed at the outside of the city, but will definitely be arranged in the same way inside the city. If a soldier dies in battle, he can still be recruited, replenished and re-trained, but Xu Le is an unavoidable peerless general, if he also dies under this crossbow arrow, it will be difficult to find such a capable subordinate in his life. Li Shimin's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his eyes were fixed on the city gate, and there was only one thought left in his heart: How is Le Langjun doing now? Are you okay? What are the casualties of those Xuanjia soldiers?
