The brute soldiers quickly adjusted, they just didn't expect to enter the range of **'s bow and arrow at such a distance from the top of the mountain. When Song Jiangong selected soldiers and weapons and equipment yesterday, he specially equipped the soldiers with the strong bow of the army, the Zhemu Ox Horn Bow, which has a tenacity and strength beyond ordinary bows and arrows, and its firing range is 50 or 60 steps farther than that of ordinary bows and arrows, and it can be launched from a distance of 180 steps to effectively kill the enemy.

However, not all soldiers can handle this strong bow, and it takes a stick to draw it. This is also the standard for Song Jiangong's selection of troops yesterday, and only soldiers who can draw this kind of bow and arrow will be selected. In fact, less than 20,000 of the 50,000 troops could pull this kind of bow and arrow continuously, and in the end, Song Jiangong chose 10,000 experienced veterans to equip Zhemu bows. Another 5,000 men were armed with arm-drawn crossbows, which were smaller in the army and required greater strength to be armed with a range of about 300 paces. The long-range strike capabilities of the entire army are extremely superior.

The Tang Dynasty raised millions of male soldiers, and the bows and arrows alone needed to make hundreds of thousands of new handles every year to fill the number of replacements and damages in the army. So this alone costs hundreds of thousands. Not to mention the consumption of armor, blades, food and grass materials in all aspects. Therefore, although the ** team is well-equipped, in fact, when it comes to individual soldiers, the equipment is actually not the best equipment. There is better equipment to replace, but because of lack of money, I can only give up.

In view of this, the ordinary configuration of the big ** archer is generally hand. Crossbows and zhushu bows, as well as bamboo bows, the advantage of these bows and crossbows is that they are inexpensive, which just meets the needs and saves money. What's more, the performance of these bows and crossbows is actually not weak, and it doesn't take much effort to pull the bow, which is suitable for all soldiers in **. It's just that the range can only reach about 100 steps, and the strength is not strong enough, but this can already meet the needs of Datang in battle.

But after all, the role of strong crossbows and strong bows is obvious, and there will still be a small number of powerful bows and crossbows in the big **, but they are all baby bumps at the bottom of the box, this time Yang Guozhong transported all these treasures to Jiannan Road in order to reverse the defeat, so Wang Yuan will have these strong bows and crossbow equipment at hand.

It is clear that the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao did not realize this. Based on the experience of Ge Luofeng and ** in battle, as well as the information at hand, ** could only be hit by a bow and crossbow even if he was condescending, he could only be within a hundred and fifty steps to the top of the mountain bag. Who would have thought that just after arriving at the mountainside, more than two hundred and fifty steps away from the top of the mountain bag, he suffered such a catastrophe, and this time he was drenched by the rain of arrows.

Looking at the barbarians rolling down in the middle of the mountains, Ge Luofeng decisively ordered to retreat immediately. Suddenly, more than 10,000 barbarians retreated down with a rolling belt, followed by another round of crossbow fire, and hundreds of dead and wounded people retreated to a safe distance.

Ge Luofeng's face was gloomy and he came to the bottom of the mountain bag and looked up at the top of the hillside above. **Raising the yellow dragon flag and the handsome flag with the word 'Wang' written on it at the top of the mountain bag is a mockery in Ge Luofeng's opinion.

"Where is the leopard and the tiger?" Ge Luofeng shouted coldly.

The two barbarian generals rushed to Ge Luofeng's side and knelt down and saluted.

"Prepare to carry out a poisonous miasma attack, and let them taste the chilling methods of our Nanzhao army." Ge Luofeng ordered in a deep voice.

"Lord, do you want to use a poisonous miasma so early?" Both Leopard and Tiger were surprised.

The poisonous miasma attack was the most ferocious attack method of the Southern Zhao army, but it never attacked at the beginning of the war, unless it was a life-saving method that would be used when the war was about to fail. Because miasma is difficult to collect, it often takes years to collect enough miasma powder to equip soldiers and horses for a war. And a lot of people will die in it, and a lot of precious medicinal powder will be consumed to counteract the miasma. This kind of attack is generally not used until it is absolutely necessary.

Ge Luofeng looked at the top of the mountain and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I don't want to entangle with ** more, they are obviously prepared." Equipped with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, ready to consume with me here. On the back of the mountain, they are erecting a rope bridge and laying a plank road, and once they have built a bridge, they can all cross the south bank, and we will not be able to resist it. ”

Ah Leopard nodded and said, "What the lord of the country said is that I will go and prepare immediately." It's just that we don't have a lot of poison sacs. ”

Ge Luofeng said: "How many more do we have?" ”

A Bao said: "The southern part of the mountain used up the poisonous miasma in the last battle of Lushui, and now only the two departments of Erdong and Ernan are equipped with more than 10,000 poison sacs. With such a large area of hills, I am afraid that the number will not be enough. Besides, there is still some wind today, and the minister is worried about ......"

"Needless to say, all of them used up the poison sac and released it in the northeast wind. Use the double-layered Teng shield as a cover, and shoot the poison sac to the top of the mountain with a bow and arrow within the firing range. You take 20,000 people at the bottom of the mountain to prepare to charge, and together with the miasma, you will rush to the top of the mountain and kill all of them. ”

"Obey the orders of the lord of the country." Ah Leopard and Ah Hu bowed down in unison, and immediately ran away to prepare after getting up.

Soon after, on a hillside near the eastern cliff, hundreds of huge rattan shields were erected like walls, each more than two zhang long and wide, and fifty or sixty barbarian archers were hiding behind them. Fifteen brute warriors carried these huge rattan shields and climbed up the hillside like slowly wriggling turtles.

Entering a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, the ** crossbow archers on the top of the mountain began to aim at these turtle shells for design. Thick and long iron-tipped crossbow arrows shot down from the top of the mountain, hitting the top of the rattan shield with great destructive power, and the surface of the rattan shield was burst open, and the broken rattan splattered all over the sky.

But these double-layered rattan shields, densely woven with sun-dried, thick and flexible wild vines as a child's arm, did not fall apart. Even though it was damaged by the powerful crossbow, the overall structure was not damaged or pierced, which somewhat calmed the panicked mood of the barbarians hiding behind.

Ge Luofeng at the bottom of the hillside also breathed a sigh of relief, the vine shield still worked, and the manpower and financial resources spent on making these hundreds of huge rattan shields were not wasted. It seems that in the future, we still need to find a way to create more of these things, which are still very useful for fighting against **. If it weren't for the fact that there were less than 200 shields, today they would have been able to rush to the top of the mountain with these shields.

The continuous crossbow attacks were not useless, and several consecutive hits to a certain part could still break through the double vine shield and shoot the barbarian soldiers hiding behind. Moreover, the huge impact force also made it difficult for the brute soldiers on the steep hillside, and the slightest mistake would roll down the hill with a shield with a person, which happened several times.

Song Jiangong frowned and looked at the barbarians under the protection of these huge turtle shells that were gradually approaching, in terms of numbers, these hundreds of vine shields could only protect thousands of barbarians rushing up the mountain. Such a little brute rushing up is tantamount to looking for death, Ge Luofeng would not be so stupid. Song Jiangong actually knew very well in his heart, although this kind of rattan shield had a strong sheltering ability, it could not withstand the attack of rockets. It only takes a few hundred rockets to nail the shield, and in a moment the shields that the brutes could afford to protect will be reduced to ashes. But Song Jiangong didn't want to do this, because he had already found that under the foot of the mountain on three sides, the barbarian army's troops and horses were also about to move, as if they were about to charge. Looking at the direction of the wind on the top of the mountain, Song Jiangong realized what these brutes were going to do.

The thousands of barbarians hiding behind the vine shield on the hillside finally stopped, and the ** on the top of the mountain also stopped attacking, which is very strange. But the brute archers didn't think much of it, they had reached the range where they could shoot arrows. At the sound of the command, all the rattan shields were erected on the mountainside, forming rows of huge walls, and between the walls there was enough space for shooting. Thousands of barbarian archers took out the poison sac from their waists and hung it on the tip of the arrow, peeked out from behind the rattan shield, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot arrows towards the sky at the top of the mountain.

Whoosh! Woohoo! These arrows spanned a distance of more than 100 steps and landed inside and outside the fortifications, hitting rocks, trees, and armor. Puffy puffy! One by one, the poison sacs burst by impact, and colorful smoke began to rise.

Yellow, red, green, pink, black, blue, purple. All the colors you can imagine can be seen in the smoke rising from the bursting of these sacs. These colored smoke merge, expand, and diffuse with each other. In a short time, the entire top of the mountain was enveloped, and the entire mountain top became a chaos.

"Miasma attack. Large-scale miasma attacks. This Ge Luo Feng was not merciful, and used this vicious attack technique as soon as he fought. On the cliff on the north bank of Lushui, Wang Yuan, Li Mi and other generals looked at the huge colored smoke rising from the mountain on the opposite bank, and their expressions were serious.

"I hope those masks can work, such a high concentration of poisonous miasma attack, this is to eat General Song's 15,000 people in one fell swoop." Li Mi frowned and said worriedly.

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I am confident in the mask's ability to prevent poison miasma. But these masks were made under the auspices of the handsome, and there was no time to do any testing after that. We can only pray that Xian Yu Dashuai did not cut corners, did not reduce the process, and did not affect the efficacy of this mask. ”
