After a hot and full meal, after Li Xiaofeng's order was transmitted, the battalions began to mobilize, and they were quickly reorganized, and now Nie Lang's troops have also directly obeyed Li Xiaofeng's command.

The only two ballistae have now been equipped with special logistics soldiers, under the protection of two teams of soldiers holding large shields, slowly pushed the ballistas a little more than a mile away from the east gate of Hechi County, and then the logistics soldiers began to busily set up a tall and spacious shed, so as not to cause accidents due to rainwater soaking of the ballista.

Zhuge Cheng personally commanded in the shed, and after turning his head and getting Li Xiaofeng's nod, Zhuge Cheng ordered the two thick black cloths covered by the ballista to be lifted, and when the two huge bed crossbows appeared in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Then Zhuge Cheng commanded the professional soldiers to start connecting and installing the power equipment, and when the logistics soldiers carried heavy wooden boxes from the rear and put them in the shed, everyone's attention was completely attracted here.

At this time, the soldiers in charge of power output were all in place, and under Zhuge Cheng's signal again, the four soldiers used the tools in their hands to pry open a wooden box, and a group of two and two took out the swarthy round-headed arrows from it, which made the eyes of everyone who had never seen this weapon widen, as if they wanted to see through these things, and as if they wanted to leave this scene in the depths of their brains forever.

Although the Feng family army under the city could not see the situation on the upper floor of the Dongcheng city in Liangquan County, the Qi army there had already discovered the existence of the Feng family army, although they could not distinguish it through the heavy rain and fog, but after all, there were more than 20,000 people piled up there, and if they couldn't see some clues, then they could go home and sleep directly without defending the city.

In the shed where the ballistas were placed under the city, there was a creaking sound gradually, and the soldiers who were responsible for the power output had already taken off their upper clothes a moment before the order was given, revealing the strong muscles of the whole body, which made people feel that this person was very powerful.

Just when those people gritted their teeth and frowned, and they couldn't step on the hinge pedal under their feet with all the strength of their bodies, Zhuge Shiwu held a red flag in his hand, looked directly at the east city wall of Liangquan County in front of him, and then waved the red flag forward without hesitation, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Release!" ”

With two "whirring" sounds, one in front of the other, the round-headed arrow shot quickly towards the city wall in front. At this time, some of the Qi troops on the city wall also saw that there seemed to be two black things running towards them in the rain and fog in the air, but the people who had not seen this new type of weapon did not flee, but exerted the most powerful curiosity in their hearts, gathered together and pointed to the air and began to talk.

"What's that?"

"yes, it seems to be making a sound!"

Suddenly, twenty or thirty Qi soldiers gathered around and chattered, not feeling the slightest danger approaching them.

The two arrows that were fired, one of them didn't know why, it had no power early, and its target was estimated to be almost at the low end of the tower. However, the other one was quite powerful, and it flew over the heads of the twenty or thirty Qi troops with a roar, and even lifted the helmet of one of them to the ground.

Seeing the unknown object flying overhead, everyone was scared for a while, and then they turned their heads to see what the unknown object was, not only flying but also bringing out such a powerful wind.

At the moment when everyone turned around, the arrow that had just passed over their heads hit the castle tower behind them, and suddenly burst into a ball of fire, and there were dots of black objects scattered in all directions.

"Ahh

"My eyes!"

The twenty or thirty unlucky Qi soldiers who had just gathered there became the first targets of the artillery crossbows in actual combat, and countless miserable howls suddenly sounded in that area, and some people were just shot in the body by the thistle, even if it was a little deeper, at least they could survive if they pulled it out in pain.

And some people were unlucky enough to be shot in the eye, which also caused them to cover their injured eyes and run around screaming nearby, and blood kept oozing from the fingers covering their eyes, but this was okay, but they were blind, at least their lives were saved.

Among them, there were four or five people, all of whom were shot in the throat by the thistle terrestris that burst out at the moment of the explosion, some were deeply embedded in the neck and slowly fell to the ground holding their necks in pain, and some were killed by the thistle terrestris that cut the major artery in the neck.

Tribulus terrestris is a prop with four iron spikes sticking out, often used in ambush warfare to spread on the ground, a few inches in length, depending on the situation, whenever placed on the ground there is always one facing up, which also causes the flying thistle terrestris to kill the enemy no matter from any angle.

The arrow that landed at the middle of the city wall did not cause any substantial damage, but at the moment of the explosion, the bricks of the city wall were blown out of a small hole, and at the same time, debris flew in all directions, causing the eastern city wall to shake slightly.

This sudden blow did not make the Qi troops in the city afraid, but attracted more Qi troops around, and everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they rushed towards the place of the incident, as if they wanted to find out what was going on in the first place.

And after everyone arrived there, they did not first check the casualties of their companions, but went to check the location of the explosion on the castle tower, only to see that a black iron rod the thickness of a thumb fell there, and the exploded ball had already broken into fragments and exploded in an instant, so everyone looked at it for a long time and did not understand what was going on.

At this moment, the back of everyone remembered the previous whistling sound, the second round of ballistas was fired, the target was still here, and this time both arrows climbed the city wall.

After everyone saw it, although the curiosity in their hearts was still very great, but everyone was not stupid, although they wanted to explore and understand it in person, but they were still driven by the fear in their hearts and began to flee to both sides.

However, it was too late to escape, and there was a stampede in the panic, which also caused the people to not be able to flee to the farthest place in the shortest possible time.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After two deafening explosions, everyone clearly felt the whole wall shake, one arrow exploded after hitting the tower, and the other was able to drill through the battlement of the city wall and land on the passage of the city wall and exploded.

With the huge explosion, two fires rose, followed by the Qi army gathered here just now let out a tragic wail, this time it was much more serious than the last time, the last explosion could still hear someone shouting my eyes and my arm and the like, and this explosion, the shouts of those lightly injured Qi soldiers have been completely covered by the heart-rending wails of those seriously injured.

Those Qi soldiers who fell and were trampled on the ground because they wanted to escape just now escaped safely, but they didn't think so much at the moment, after getting up, they fled towards both sides of the explosion site regardless of shouting for help and the like, no one wanted to stay in place anymore, not even for a second, as for the curiosity to explore the situation, at this time it had been completely crushed by the fear in their hearts, and no one wanted to explore it again.
