Chapter 169: The Real Qin Crossbow (Third Update)
For Yinggao, the prince, Wang Li really couldn't understand it.
As the grandson of Wang Qian, one of the most brilliant generals of the Qin State, Wang Li has had an aura of nobility since birth, but unlike his grandfather and father, he has not suffered any decent enemies in this era.
Therefore, in the face of the menacing arrival of Wu Guang, the number two person in Chen Sheng's army, Wang Li still wanted to rely on his own strength to fight a beautiful battle.
But before the news came from Luoyang, it was only said that Yinggao was unwilling to raise too many sword soldiers, let alone wantonly hurt the lives of the Qianshou who followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang against Qin, so he just sent Sima Xin to infiltrate Zhou Wen's army to kill the main general, and then let those anti-Qin people disperse.
After getting this news, Wang Li couldn't help but feel that Yinggao's actions were a bit of a woman's kindness, in Wang Li's eyes, these Qiantou were killed and dispersed today, and tomorrow maybe they will find an anti-Qin organization and become a member of the anti-Qin army, so that of course, this anti-Qin army is inexhaustible.
So when he just received Yinggao's letter, Wang Li also thought that Yinggao would let him not hurt the lives of the 200,000 Qianshou, and almost opened Yinggao's letter with a sigh.
But after reading the contents of the letter, Wang Li's eyes lit up.
The content of Ying Gao's letter is very simple, even so simple that there is only one short sentence, that is, to inform Wang Li that in this war of Wu Guang's attack on Xingyang, he must not hesitate to kill the enemy, so that the anti-Qin forces know the power of Daqin, and they are in this battle. And at the end of the letter, Yinggao also said that a big gift would be sent to Xingyang for Wang Li to use.
"General, a heavy team from the direction of Luoyang has arrived outside the city, and it is indeed my Daqin's soldiers."
Not long after the letter arrived in Wang Li's hand, another news reached his ears.
When the king left the gate of the city, he saw that carts and carts of baggage had reached the outside of the city.
"What is this?"
"Two thousand iron Qin crossbows, plus the new crossbow arrows that Gongzi sent from Xianyang, the general please take a look......"
After a brief introduction, the general transporting the baggage reached out and handed Wang Li a Qin crossbow dragged behind him.
Wang Li looked at the Qin crossbow carefully, and found that the metal connected to it had all been replaced by copper parts instead of iron parts, and the starting point was obviously harder. When he picked up the arrow, he found that it had become a dark and glowing iron weapon.
"I'm going to give it a try!"
No one knows what the effect of Wang Li's experiment is like with this Qin crossbow, but after the experiment, Wang Li unloaded the car in an instant with these two thousand Qin crossbows.
The next day, fifty miles outside Xingyang County, outside a small piece of mountains and forests, Tian Zang got an army of 150,000 as he wished, and made a lot of promises to the 150,000 army with wooden sticks and other things before leaving.
It was these somewhat marginless promises that made the eyes of those Qiantou give out a fierce light, Tian Zang saw that the time was almost up, and with a wave of his hand, the 150,000 army rushed to the direction of Xingyang, looking at the posture, it was as if he could directly take Xingyang.
"Childe, there is only General Wang Li and 60,000 troops in Xingyang, don't we really need to lead 20,000 troops to support? The anti-Qin county under the command of Wu Guang is just a group of unarmed Qianjun, if I and General Wang Li attack inside and outside, it won't take long to defeat them! ”
In Luoyang City, the relationship between Sima Xin and Yinggao, who had shined in the last battle, had become much closer, and after learning the news that Wu Guang was heading towards Xingyang at full speed, he asked Yinggao for instructions without worry.
"If just one Wu Guang and this so-called 200,000 army make us like frightened birds, what should we do in the face of anti-Qin forces like Xiang Liang who really know how to use troops in the future?"
Ying Gao just smiled indifferently when he heard this, and obviously didn't want to help Wang Li between his words.
"The 60,000 troops in General Wang Li's hands are indeed not afraid of Wu Guang's 200,000 Qiantou, but in this way, there will be a lot of damage, which is not good for us......"
With the understanding of Yinggao, Sima Xin also dared to speak more and more in front of him, although he knew Yinggao's meaning, but he still expressed his meaning.
"It's okay, I only got the mysterious thing sent from Xianyang City a few days ago, and now it has been transferred to General Wang Li, as for you, it's not like there's nothing to do......
Regardless of the movements of Yinggao and others in Luoyang for the time being, just say that Tian Zang, who has the thoughts of the young and old, is the same as Zhou Wen, the army of 150,000 gives him a bottom in his heart, and he says that it is just these horses, not to mention anything else, it is more than enough to lure Wang Li out.
And what to use to lure out Wang Li, Tian Zang didn't have any good way, so he could only use the tactics of the sea of people, anyway, he didn't have anything else, some were people.
If you want to talk about siege equipment, Tian Zang is indeed prepared, the ladder tied to the wood is now cut, the height is enough, but I don't know if people will fall apart by climbing in the middle, but this is also a helpless thing, siege the city, how to do it without a siege look...
But when the city of Xingyang fell into Tian Zang's eyes, Tian Zang felt a little bad, because there was a lot of difference between the height of Xingyang's city wall and what the scout he sent told him was obvious......
At this point, although Tian Zang was very helpless, but for his future big plan, he still resolutely held high the banner of Chen Sheng, and commanded the army under his command to rush towards the city gate of Xingyang, most of the 150,000 people charged together, the picture sense is indeed a little, if the defender of the city is a big melon, it is very likely to be scared away directly.
But it is obvious that Wang Li is not a big melon, and he has the secret weapon that Yinggao transferred to him.
"General, it's already a distance of more than ten zhang!"
"Okay, let these people see the power of the Qin crossbow improved by the son, this battle is the battle in which my Qin crossbow regains its prestige!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Li's big hand waved, and Hula on the originally calm city wall of Xingyang suddenly stood up in a neat row of Qin soldiers.
As soon as these black-armored Qin soldiers appeared, they were so frightened that Tian Zang, who was galloping on the horse, was excited, and then thought for a while, and said in his heart I have arrived here, these Qin soldiers will not come out again, and there is a fart to stand on the city wall.
But the next moment, he threw this optimistic idea behind his head.
