The biggest result of the Eight Bull Crossbow in history was that the Zhenzong Dynasty shot Xiao Darin, the former commander of the Khitan army who invaded the Great Song Dynasty, with an arrow under the city of Lanzhou, and directly destroyed the will of Xiao Yanyan, the empress dowager of Chengtian, who led the army, to continue the war, and since then the alliance of the Yuanyuan has been born to maintain the peace between the Song and Liao countries for 70 years.

A magic weapon that changed history, it is indeed amazing. The arrow placed on this divine weapon was a special five-foot iron arrow, which was the same shape and size as a spear except for the iron tail. On the body of the bed crossbow, there are three grooves, that is, three iron spears can be fired at one time, so it is also called one shot and three sword arrows.

The iron spears that have been put into the grooves one by one have been around for a long time, and they are still stained with rust, but the dull and heavy spear heads make people chill to see. There's no need to create a sharp spike, and the power of the shot alone is enough to skewer enemies in the way of the arrow.

Han Gang circled around the eight-bull crossbow that had been assembled at the head of the city, and in this era, it was indeed impossible to find fault with the power. But it seems that there are more people needed, and dozens of people surround a bed with crossbows. If it were a gun that fired shells of the same power, it would not have taken so many people. If the artillery can be built, it will be much easier for the Great Song army to go to the battlefield.

Using hot weapons to solve the opponent in the era of cold weapons is a beautiful thing that Han Gang has dreamed of for a long time. If you can be equipped with enough artillery and muskets, perhaps the future war will be as easy as the Spaniards destroyed the Inca Empire. However, Han Gang will not take out this invention until he has enough status and can master the function of ordnance manufacturing. With such a huge credit, he had no intention of sharing it with others.

So now, the only way to do this is to let the Eight Bull Crossbow serve as the ultimate weapon on the battlefield.

After the flying horses swept through the city, the infantry of the party had already pierced through the chaotic smoke and dust, dense as ants. momentum, at a glance, you can know that there are nearly 10,000 people. And in the rear formation of the infantry that swarmed and the formation was much more chaotic than that of the Song army, a big sword was raised high.

"It's all Roman tails!" Han Gang's side shouted in surprise, with a tremor of ecstasy in his tone. The font on that banner had an interaction some time ago, and Luo Wucheng was very familiar with it.

The party members have been at war with the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and of course they know the power of the Song people's bed crossbows. In this siege, he only tested the city of Luowu for a while, and then sat down and quietly besieged the city. And the generals who led the army did not enter the effective range of the bed crossbow at all. Similarly, because the Western Thieves did not have it, Luo Wucheng also collected heavy weapons such as the Eight Ox Crossbow as a killer weapon and did not use it.

Unexpectedly, in order to capture Luowu City today, the capital of the Western Thieves, Romanowei, actually moved his flag to the best range of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

Glancing fiercely at Du Luowei, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Han Gang immediately looked south.

The two current battlefields. One is that Gao Yongneng is leading the main force outside to intercept the enemy army - in essence, he wants to take the opportunity to bury Liang Yi and ask for the next piece of meat. The other is the capital of Rome, which attacked the city of Luowu. Liang Yi's intention of sending him out to attack the city was nothing more than to shake Gao Yongneng's military heart, but in the case that he had already planned in advance, this was just a fool's dream.

While intercepting the Western Thief Cavalry from pursuing his own chariots and horses, Gao Yongneng, who was also intercepted outside the city, had successfully adjusted the formation in the alternating impact of the Sanitation Iron Cavalry and the Iron Harrier.

A solid array of more than 100 paces wide completely blocked the narrowest part of the river valley. The dense rain of arrows made it difficult for the party cavalry to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and to break through the Song army's arrow array, even if it was as strong as the Khitan iron cavalry, there were only two ways, one was to detour, and the second was to use turns to attack the enemy formation, not to disperse, but to drag down.

The party members are obviously using the second method, but this is to be consumed by human life. Gao Yongneng touched his beard proudly, and the Khitans only dared to play this hand after they surrounded the Song army's battle array on all sides. Seeing an elite party cavalry fall to the ground after a rain of arrows, all Gao Yong could see was the reward that fell to his hand with a clanging clang.

Just after a long time, Du Rome withdrew his gaze to the battlefield to the south. He knew very well that such a charge, regardless of casualties, could not last long. If he can't change the tide of battle here in a short period of time, the elite cavalry in the south will inevitably lose the spirit to continue the attack. On the other hand, once the white battle flag of Great Xia could flutter on the head of Luowu City, the Song army out of the city in the south would collapse immediately.

'Take it back in my hands!' Du Luowei stared hard at the banner of the Song army fluttering on the head of Luowu City, thinking hatefully. "Slaughter all the Han dogs in the city!" He screamed frantically.

At the sound of the trumpets, the footmen howled and rushed towards the city wall. The ladders and trench carts were pushed forward one after another.

The long wooden planks on the four wheels of the moat bridge car, pulled to the side of the Hao River and then pushed forward, one by one four-wheeled vehicles, suddenly became a bridge on the Hao River more than three zhang wide, and the four wheels just happened to be stuck on the bridge piers on both sides of the Hao River.

The obstruction of the Hao River was solved without much effort, and it seems that, at least during the siege of Luowucheng, the party members did not sit still.

At the head of the city, Zhang Yu didn't look at the enemy troops who rushed to the city, just pointed to a few eight-bull crossbows, turned his head and asked Han Gang, "Yukun." Which side do you think is better to shoot? ”

Han Gang knew Zhang Yu's intentions, and he replied with a chuckle: "Hold the bow as a strong one, and use the arrow as a long one." ”

Zhang Yuha laughed, and then read out the next two sentences: "Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief and capture the king first!" His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Shoot me the arrow at the man under the big flag." ”

The soldiers who served the six eight-ox crossbows were ordered to adjust the angle of their shots, held the mallets, and smashed them hard.

With a few clicks, the bowstrings of the six bed crossbows straightened in an instant, without even a trembling tail, and in the blink of an eye, the shape of the curved to the extreme became a straight line, and the iron spear in the bow groove also left its original position at this moment.

Eighteen iron spears burst down from the top of the city, but Du Romewei was overjoyed that his soldiers had successfully rushed to the bottom of the city. The swift black shadow left a deep shadow in the corner of his eye, and he was startled, and looked up sharply, only to see a little black light coming straight to his eyes.

Each of the eighteen iron spears has its own place. Half of them crashed directly into the ground, and several of them firmly connected the riders and horses, and one of them, and only one, hit the target accurately, directly hitting the tail door of the city.

Sturdy skulls, heavy helmets, as fragile as eggshells in front of the speeding iron spears. The iron spear more than five feet long pierced into the head of Du Roman Tail, not simply penetrating, but like a battering ram that hit the city gate, transmitting the vicious power contained in it into the obstruction in front of it, so that the part of the neck of the capital privy envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom burst open like a watermelon falling to the ground. The iron helmet was torn apart and bounced off, and red and white crumbs splattered to the ground.

The body that had lost its head was still sitting on the horse, and the blood pumped from the wound the size of the sea bowl was like a fountain, and the iron spear that shattered the skull still stubbornly continued to fly, rubbing the hind buttocks of the war horse, and plunged deep into the ground. The war horse, which had been brought to the back of the buttocks by the iron spear, neighed, carrying the corpse of the Duroman tail, running and jumping wildly under the banner, and knocked down the unsupported Daxu headlong at the rear.

Daxu slowly landed, and under the hooves of the war horses at the end of the capital, the golden-white flag was trampled into the mud. The headless body, still stiffened on the horse's back, replaced the big silk and became the most striking object.

There was a moment of silence on the battlefield, and then the cheers of Wansheng rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Chong Pu clenched his right hand into a fist, hammered his palm hard, and shouted frantically, 'Okay!' ’。 And the generals and colonels in the city are also shouting out the excitement in their hearts.

Killing the enemy general with one blow is ten times better than the expected result. The identity of the Duroman tail is known to everyone in Luowu City. The life of a Privy Secret is enough to be worth the heads of a thousand Western thieves, and even the Son of Heaven in Tokyo City cannot expect them to achieve any higher results.

But Han Gang could see obvious regret on Zhang Yu's face.

"It's a shame." Zhang Yu's muttering voice drifted to Han Gang's ears with the wind.

Han Gang also felt the same way, it was indeed a pity.

The current situation is somewhat similar to the Khitan invasion before the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the same bed crossbow killed the enemy general, if it were not for the Gyeongju mutiny, the battle situation in Luowucheng would probably be decided. But now, it still can't change the final result of abandoning Luo Wu - unless Liang Yi is buried.

And Zhang Yu's regret is not only this, he sent the cavalry to Lu first, in fact, in the predetermined plan, he will also take a small road and come back as a surprise soldier, but now it is unnecessary.

Because the party cavalry that was attacking Gao Yongneng had already retreated, and the thousands of foot soldiers who had rushed to the city were still in chaos. The long-awaited defenders of the city poked their heads out of the city walls, boiling water and hot oil, lime wood, and sharp arrows, and frantically threw them down the city.

Screams rose to the sky, the smell of fried meat wafted under the city, and the trench bridge, which had allowed the party's infantry to cross the river quickly, was now locked by hundreds of divine arm bows, and no one could escape from the bridge. And the soldiers who jumped into the deep gully of the Hao River were more likely to be the targets of sharp arrows.

The remnants of the Iron Riders and Iron Harriers had returned to their starting point, and the footmen who had not crossed the Hao River had finally retreated to safety, and the screams of the city had gradually disappeared.

"Get the wounded out of the city!" Zhang Yu ordered at this time.

The southern gate of the city opened again, and dozens of carriages in the city, full of wounded, left Luowu City openly under the escort of a cavalry commander.

They walked without scruples, even if Liang Yibury saw through the problems, but when his morale was exhausted, it was impossible for him to send troops out to pursue.

'Next,' Han Gang thought, 'it's how he should get back to Suide.' ’
