"Hum." The crossbow bolt suddenly pierced the city tower behind Chen Jingxuan and the others, and the tail end of the wooden arrow shaft was still trembling by inertia, making a burst of sound of breaking the sky.

Fortunately, Chen Jingxuan's personal soldiers had experienced it before, and after noticing the letter-sending action under the city, they hurriedly dragged and dragged Chen Jingxuan and pressed his head to protect Chen Jingxuan. Immediately, one of the soldiers turned around and glanced at the crossbow bolt behind him, and while holding the helmet that had fallen off his head, he quickly ran over to untie the wrapped strip of cloth.

Chen Jingxuan was once again attacked by Lin Feng in public taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver the letter, and he was suddenly a little angry, snatched the white cloth from the hands of his own soldiers, looked at it angrily, and suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted: "Defense!" Defense!! ”

In response to Chen Jingxuan, there was a roar of breaking through the air, accompanied by a piercing screeching sound getting closer and closer, and suddenly a swarthy round-headed cannon arrow landed at the head of the city from the sky.

"Boom."

"Boom. Rumble.. Rumble..! ”

Suddenly, the wailing and shouting on the head of the city rang out, and many of the rebel soldiers who had just focused their attention on Chen Jingxuan's side were all caught off guard, and even some unlucky ghosts were directly hit by artillery arrows. One of them is even one, staring at the surprised eyes, the head and the round head in the front of the cannon arrow came into close contact, under the huge impact, like a smashed watermelon that was suddenly hit, "debris flying", and even due to the suddenness of the incident, the body without a head is still subconsciously swinging its arms, and even the legs and feet of the lower body are still moving.

"Ahh Seeing this terrifying scene bloody happening in front of their eyes, many soldiers immediately threw away the guys in their hands, opened their arms, or held their heads, or their arms trembled slightly, and their mouths erupted with a wave of screams.

The headless corpse did not fall in an instant, but with a stream of blood that spurted out from the fracture that was nearly a meter high, it actually moved its footsteps, turned around, and faced the closest companion to him.

"Ah!!h The rebel who didn't know which generation of his ancestors had done a lot of immoral things, suddenly turned pale with fright, and his forehead was instantly covered with sweat particles the size of beans, and in a panic, in the face of the corpse's still not hanging down his arm, he actually rushed out of the battlement on his side in a panic, as if he would rather die than stand with this "zombie" anymore, the unlucky rebel did not hesitate to drill out of the battlement, and fell towards the end of the city.

Immediately after, a nearby general who supervised the battle suddenly stepped forward, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and swung it towards the "zombie" who was still not dead without hesitation, and then stepped forward and kicked it over. Until then, the "zombie" fell to the ground unwillingly, and after two convulsions of his limbs, he finally stopped moving.

Although the other places that were bombed were not so bloody, without any protective measures, the impact after the explosion of the artillery was still very serious, and the sudden round of sneak attacks caused at least three or four hundred casualties among the rebels. And more importantly, the next attack, because the raid just now has completely disrupted the defensive rhythm of the rebels, so under the staggered firing of the two rows of ballistas in the front and back of the city, the rebels in the city have always been unable to keep up with the step, and have always been beaten by the nose.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later, when every ballista in the city fired at least twenty arrows, that the rebels in the city were able to hold the defenses, but with thousands of arrows raging, the misery of the rebels in the city can be imagined.

Hardly take a step, you will step on an iron thistle scattered on the road, at most only three steps, you can see the severed limbs of the casualties, as large as a whole arm or leg, at least the small one is also a broken finger or minced meat, the smell of blood, mixed with the "fragrant" smell of burnt meat. The blood bursting out of the body, scattered in all directions irregularly, on the road, on the city wall, and even on the stones at the battlements, bright red, dark red, and the temperature was too high to turn black and red in advance, presenting a picture of hell on earth that had just been "drawn" on this narrow city head.

Even Chen Jingxuan was cut through his body by the thistles flying around in the panic just now, and there was even an iron thistle that pierced deep into his chest. If it weren't for the fine rhinoceros skin soft armor on the inside of the battle armor, the thistle terrestris on his chest would probably have to let Chen Jingxuan recuperate for a while.

"This villain! This yin man! This hurts people!! Waiting for the attack on the city to gradually weaken, Chen Jingxuan found a relatively safe place under the protection of his own soldiers, and cursed heavily: "I actually used such a despicable method to sneak attack Lao Tzu!" It's shameless!! ”

But scolding and scolding, it's just to relieve anger verbally, Chen Jingxuan also knows that soldiers are not tired of cheating, no matter what kind of sneak attack method, as long as they can win, it is the king. Moreover, Chen Jingxuan's heart also understood very well that Lin Feng's sudden attack was not a sneak attack at all, because the letter had four clear words written on it: "Start a war, take the call." ”

Chen Jingxuan understands very well that he can only blame himself, and he has always been led by the nose by the Feng family, and they will follow how the Feng family army drags them. It's like an item in the hands of the Feng family, you can put it as you want, and you can put it as you want.

Seeing that the defense of the city head was gradually organized, Lin Feng also knew that there was no point in fighting any longer, so he ordered the crossbow carts to be replaced with wooden pole crossbow arrows to concentrate fire on the rebels at the head of the city.

The reason for changing the type of arrows is because the cost of artillery arrows is too expensive, and the materials for making artillery arrows are in short supply, not only gunpowder and a large amount of iron tribulus terrestris are needed as the main raw materials, but even the appearance of artillery arrows also requires a lot of iron, and Lin Feng is also very self-aware, convinced that he is not capable of building an iron-smelting factory in the local area.

As for the wooden pole crossbow arrow, it is relatively too cheap, to make a wooden pole crossbow arrow, six or seven percent of the raw materials are wood, and around, just find a forest, I am afraid that thousands of arrow shafts can be made, and the three-edged arrows made of stainless steel, compared with artillery arrows, whether it is the consumption of materials or the production process is much simpler.

When all the ballistas are replaced with wooden pole crossbow arrows, the crossbow strings require a much smaller amount of charge, and the frequency of firing is naturally greatly increased, with an average of three to four bolts per minute, and the overall efficiency is more than three times higher. Dozens or hundreds of crossbow arrows concentrated on a small target, and they roared away like crazy as if they didn't want money.

Although it is not as powerful as artillery arrows, it is important to have a huge number, dozens of crossbow arrows that emit a little cold light are rushing towards a small piece, and the deterrent power it brings alone is extraordinary, not to mention that the penetration of the three-edged arrows made of stainless steel is extremely strong, and it is difficult for anyone to survive under the concentration of wooden pole crossbow arrows.

As for daring to "spoil" the wooden pole and crossbow arrows like this, it was because Lin Feng already had a steady stream of backup at this time, and among the 10,000 reinforcements who rushed to Mengshan to accept Zhuge Cheng's dispatch, there were more than 3,000 skilled craftsmen, and their duty was to make siege equipment day and night.

In addition to a large number of wooden poles and crossbow arrows, there are also improved ladders, reinforced siege towers and other heavy siege weapons.
