Chapter 170: Ten Thousand Arrows (Fourth Update)
What caught the eyes of Tian Zang, who was galloping on horseback, was the neatly arranged Qin soldiers on the head of the city, they were already waiting at the head of the city, and they all carried an object on their shoulders.
At first, Tian Zang didn't pay much attention to it, and said that when I rushed closer, I would see that you would not be able to get out of the city gate.
But the next moment, the anti-Qin sergeant who rushed to the front suddenly screamed one after another, which made Tian Zang stunned.
Looking up, what caught Tian Zang's eyes was an almost rainstorm of arrows, and where had the anti-Qin people who rushed to the front seen this, before the round was over, many people had not yet reacted to what was going on, so they sacrificed their young lives for the great cause of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
"Don't be scared by this Qin crossbow! Although the Qin crossbow is powerful, but the number is limited and the number of times it cannot be fired too much, this is just a Xingyang, there are no ten arrows, survive these, Xingyang City is in our pocket! ”
Looking at the people around him who showed fearful expressions, Tian Zang could only do his best to comfort these Qiantou who knew almost nothing about war.
But the words that came out of his mouth were indeed the real thoughts in his heart, and they were also the things he was looking forward to becoming a reality, Qin Crossbow's name, he had indeed heard of it, and Qin Crossbow's weaknesses, he had also heard of it.
Soon, the wave of arrows ended, and the ones that were shot down and scared away were all of a sudden, Tian Zang lost thousands of people at once, but for the number of 150,000, it was still a drop in the bucket, Tian Zang knew that if he gave him half a pillar of incense, his people would be able to rush to the bottom of the city wall of Xingyang, and at that time, he estimated that the arrows of Qin's crossbow were almost used.
But Tian Zang had just finished speaking, and the facts slapped him in the face, after a wave of arrow rain ended, followed by another wave of arrows falling from the sky, the speed was simply seamless, what Qin people did not have enough arrows, it seemed to be nonsense.
And at this time, on the city wall, the crossbowmen of Great Qin were also extremely excited.
In the previous battle, as crossbowmen, they were most worried about how to use this arrow on the blade, and the arrow was not like a sword, gun, sword, and halberd, which could be reused, but the arrow was not like that.
There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and even if the arrow shot is recovered as much as possible when clearing the battlefield after winning the battle, the loss is very large.
And to make arrows, like other weapons, copper must be used, and Great Qin used soldiers frequently, so much copper went there, which led to the fact that although Qin's crossbow was powerful, it was not used several times in a battle, not because I didn't want to, but I didn't dare.
But this time, the biggest surprise for them was the Qin crossbow sent by Yinggao, but the iron arrows of the carriage and carriage, compared with the arrows made of iron, the biggest advantage is undoubtedly that they are easy to take.
Therefore, from the day Yinggao opened his hands to start the construction of Great Qin's iron weapons, he took precautions and asked him to build a large number of arrows that matched Qin's crossbows, and they have always been stored, and finally, to this day, it has come in handy.
When Yinggao led the order to Sanchuan County, he brought a large number of arrows to Luoyang, and when he learned that most of Wu Guang's army would attack Xingyang, he sent two thousand Qin crossbows and countless arrows to Xingyang.
"General, should we really just use this Qin crossbow to resist these anti-Qin soldiers? If you continue like this, you will do a lot of damage, but these arrows ......"
"It doesn't matter! Gongzi said in the letter, the most precious thing in my Great Qin army is the lives of the soldiers, not these arrows, I look at these Qiantou, not waiting to rush to the city, will be frightened by the power of my Qin crossbow, the cavalry is ready, when these Qiantou turn over and run away, they will go out of the city to kill, be sure to capture the main general with the troops! ”
Wang Li's ability, naturally and Tian Zang are not on the same level, although he is facing a large number of enemies, but he does not have the slightest nervousness, the fate of these people has already settled in his heart.
"Ah!! Yes!!! Yes!!! ”
Everywhere Tian Zang came into his eyes, in addition to the almost uninterrupted arrows in the sky, it was the screams of those Qiantou under his command.
People are afraid of death, although they know that if they can really attack Xingyang City, a large number of Mei Ji and wine and meat may be waiting for them, but the probability of death is too great.
After three or four waves of arrow rain, some of the people who were still quite strong and followed Tian Zang's side were a little unbearable, more and more people ran to both sides, and the people who ran forward were running slower and slower, and no one wanted to rush to the front for a while, because it was almost difficult to survive if they rushed to the front, and these people didn't know what tactics on the battlefield, almost all of them were cowardly.
As a result, before he could rush to the city, Tian Zang, who was originally supervising the battle in the middle, was about to become a vanguard, and the meat shield in front of him was almost gone, and Tian Zang was also afraid in the face of the scene of ten thousand arrows.
If an arrow were to hit him, he would have finished his calf, so the leader, who had sworn to encourage his soldiers, quietly moved his position to ensure that he had enough meat shields in front of him at all times.
But such a move naturally can't hide the more than 100,000 people around him, this time, the morale that was almost the same as the blow was almost gone, more and more Qianshou ran to both sides, and after running out of the team, they fled in all directions, with several rounds of salvos of two or three thousand Qin crossbows in front of them, they no longer wanted Xingyang to sleep with Mei Ji in their arms, and felt that their lives were more important.
"General, the person who dodged backwards on horseback is probably the main general this time!"
As Tian Zang and the others got closer and closer to Xingyang, someone had already noticed him riding a horse.
"Order, the cavalry under the city will follow me out of the city, don't fall in love with the battle, just capture the main general!"
The result of this battle is naturally settled, even before it happened, Yinggao and Wang Li knew that it was such an ending, but there was one person who didn't know, of course, this guy was still waiting for Tian Zang to lure Wang Li away so that he could attack the city of Wu Guang.
Wu Guang led the remaining more than 50,000 people, waiting for news in the forest dozens of miles away from Xingyang, until the agreed time had passed for a long time, but Tian Zang didn't even have a shadow, let alone anyone who reported to him, which couldn't help but make Wu Guang's heart have a lot of doubts.
