Crossbows, no matter how light or heavy, have gradually withdrawn from the equipment sequence of the main forces with the passage of time.

It's not that it's not easy to use, it's that it's too heavy!

The Central Plains listed nomadism as an old enemy, and almost all the main generals pursued speed to avoid being beaten by the Turks.

This is also the reason why the recurve compound bow has developed so quickly.

Long range, fast rate of fire, convenient and easy to carry.

Compared with the pedal crossbow that is impressive in the future and shows its might in the film and television "heroes", the existing individual crossbow of the Sui army can be said to be garbage to grandma's house, and even the rate of fire of the bed crossbow produced by the system is far inferior.

Yang Shuang was also puzzled by this, but as a veteran and a weapon lover, he understood.

After the death of the Han Dynasty, the ancient peak individual crossbow has been lost!

The best proof is that among the Sui and Tang cultural relics unearthed in the future, no one has ever found a crossbow machine belonging to this period!

As for the famous Great Song Dynasty Divine Arm Crossbow in the future, it is just a new type of heavy crossbow improved by a partial crossbow, and compared with the Han crossbow, the technology is quite backward, after all, the range is a full hundred meters apart.

The 12-stone rhubarb crossbow of the Han Dynasty can shoot 400 steps, or 552 meters.

There are many reasons for the regression of the crossbow, and it is not difficult to find that from the Wuhu Chaohua to the end of the Tang and Song dynasties, most of the military generals who left their names in history were cavalry generals.

In Dasui, few people have paid attention to this artifact, which is troublesome to make but simple to operate.

The weapons of the fifty crossbow archers brought by the castle are not Han crossbows or Song crossbows, but three-shot hard crossbows that resemble Zhuge repeaters!

In terms of power and range, it is inferior to the first two, but the rate of fire is ...... Finish abusing primary firearms!

In order to overcome the battle, Yang Shuang almost smashed the pot and sold iron, canceled a thousand sword and shield soldiers, and exchanged a large number of soldier souls obtained in the battle with Apo into a castle and placed it in the rear of the Turkic army!

Twenty castles, with 1,000 crossbow archers, in a column of three people, formed a long snake formation, guarding 100 bed crossbows with simple wheels, and stopped 200 meters away from the camp in the western Turkic region.

"Prepare ......"

"Crunch ......"

The tooth-aching wringing sound of the bed crossbow completely obscured the neat winding sound of the three consecutive hard crossbows.

Seven thousand slaves provide enough labor for Yang Shuang, and there is no need to worry about unmanned operation of bed crossbows and trebuchets.

Tonight, it's the stage for ranged weapons!

"Let it ......!"

"Boom Boom ......"

The order sounded, and the crossbowman and the bed crossbow operator brushed the trigger together, and the crossbow string, which had been pulled to the extreme, instantly returned to its original state. Before the arrows that were hidden in the air fell, the high bull roared with it.

"Moo~~~~~"

The slaves hurriedly pushed the bed crossbows, while the crossbowmen raised their crossbows and took unhurried steps together to press down on the Turkic army.

"Buzz...... Clusters, clusters, clusters! ”

Reflecting the bonfire, the Turkic camp was full of black lines.

The sturdy and durable felt cloth tent was either pulled away by a giant crossbow or crushed by a dense array of crossbow arrows.

The originally noisy wails of the wounded soldiers also disappeared in an instant at this moment.

Destroy the wither!

"Pick up the torches and move forward!"

Difficult to see in the dark, it is easy to pull up the string, but it is a little tricky to reload the bolt.

Since he launched an active attack, Yang Shuang was not afraid of the Turkic Jedi counterattack.

Thousands of crossbowmen, accompanied by more than 200 moving bed crossbows, were like a cluster of Soviet tanks, facing the Kwantung Army charging on horseback.

It's a killing feast!

The Turks, who were preparing to attack the city, immediately turned around and counterattacked, but when they encountered a series of crossbow arrows, they were all turned on their backs.

Datou, who commanded the siege, was terrified, because the opponent's target was exactly where he was!

"Shoot !!"

However, to the stunned leader, the Sui army was still mixed with countless sword and shield soldiers.

The moment the arrow fell, countless shields were erected and attached to the moving bed crossbow, instantly forming a shield wall!

"Clusters and Clusters ······"

Although the hedgehog composed of arrow feathers is beautiful, it does not get the results that its master wants!

More terrifying is yet to come.

"Hey! Hey! ”

In the sound of the uniform trumpet, countless groups of people, dragging wooden shelves eight or nine meters high, are gradually stepping into the battlefield!

"That's ····· Trebuchet !! Datou's exclamation was tinged with a hint of misery, and the Turkic soldiers who were preparing to counterattack were also terrified.

Half a year ago, outside Dunhuang City, they had all experienced the destruction of this terrifying killing machine.

"Kill!"

Trapped for more than two months, King Shanshan, who was on fire in his heart, also saw the opportunity and came out with the few remaining soldiers in the city.

From the rear team to the front team, the Turkic army that charged against the Sui army was suddenly hit hard from the beginning to the end, and the entire army became chaotic.

Yang Shuang doesn't care about this.

Today, he will not only defeat the Turks, but also take the city of Shanshan.

"Keep going!"

"Knock Knock Knock ·····"

The cowhide drums captured from Turpan were brought to the battlefield by the three children, and Niu Er, who commanded the trebuchet army, danced the war hammer with all his might, causing the dull and passionate war drums to echo throughout the wilderness.

Yang Shuang didn't expect that this raid could directly take down the Turkic Western Battalion, and he also happened to encounter the main Turkic force to launch a strong attack on Shanshan City.

He did not order Shi Da and Shi Wansui to charge into battle, but strictly ordered everyone to obey the command and follow the crossbow soldiers slowly!

Because, no one can guarantee that he will survive unharmed under the cover of the crossbow arrow array.

"Kill !!"

Datou didn't know how many Sui troops there were, but with his years of experience in going south, with two hundred bed crossbows and a hundred trebuchets, the total strength of the Sui army must have exceeded 20,000!

Moreover, it is very likely to be the main force of Zuo Wuwei!

Datou's face changed.

Although the strength of the Sui army is not superior, the soldiers are very strong, and if they don't end the battle as soon as possible, they will still suffer losses!

Moreover, the grain and grass are exhausted, and it is impossible to fight a war of attrition with the Sui army!

Thinking of this, Datou released an eagle, raised his golden sword, and roared angrily.

"Rush forward and crush them!"

"Think of those Han slaves in the sheepfold, they have nothing to fear!"

"Come on, warriors, draw your swords and spears, chop them up and feed them to the wolves!!"

"Roar!!

The morale-boosting Turkic cavalry officially began to charge.

And the crossbowmen who had been consumed by the siege team also stopped advancing.

Because there are so many corpses on the ground!

Layer upon layer, stack upon stack, bed crossbows with simple wooden wheels had to be lifted by the operator before they could move forward.

Without the cooperation of the bed crossbow, the firepower of the crossbow archers was greatly reduced, but the charge launched by the Turks became more and more violent, and even rushed to a distance of dozens of meters in front of the crossbow archers at one point.

The archery skills of the Turks do not need to be described, and the defenseless crossbow archers, even with the cooperation of sword and shield soldiers, will suffer heavy losses in an instant.

Yang Shuang, who found that the situation was not good, quickly called up the system menu.

"Shield Array Company Battalion!"

"Ten thousand arrows!"

And in the rear, hundreds of heavy riders who were ready to go also showed hideous faces, and the target was naturally the Datou Khan under the banner of the wolf head!

"Horizontal guns!"

Zhong Kui, who has always served as a deputy general, but has no achievements, also used military skills for the first time.

"Refreshed!"
