Three Hundred and Eight Episodes: Outside the Outside Must First Be Inside (19) Attacking from All Sides to Save This Serious Situation (Part I)
Liu Xiang was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he decided to take action before the next step.
After calling Wei Ye and Zhao Ziyi, Liu Xiang said to them: "You already know the seriousness of the current matter, which I never considered before, so the three of us will go out now to cooperate with the soldiers everywhere to act together."
"But so far, we don't know where to go, and it seems that there are rebels everywhere in the city, and it feels like the whole Jicheng is in chaos."
After listening to what Wei Ye said, Liu Xiao said: "I can't care so much, the three of us will clean up our affairs, and we will go wherever there are rebels."
"It's so casual, okay, that's it."
After Wei Ye finished speaking, the three of them discussed it again, and then they each wore a close-fitting chain scale armor and a long sword at their waists, looking at the turmoil in the city where people and horses were running.
At this moment, Prince Dan led a group of security troops to the county guard mansion quickly, and when he arrived at the county guard mansion, he had already collected more than 200 soldiers and horses who were defeated by the rebels, and the group of rebels in front of him was far beyond their imagination, Chen Jin was originally the general of a barracks in the city, and under his instigation, the soldiers of this barracks rebelled collectively, and the army of nearly 800 people attacked the county guard.
Chen Jin's soldiers and horses had already drained the water around the county guard's mansion, and Prince Dan had no choice but to lead the army to attack from behind the rebels.
Seeing that the attack of his soldiers and horses was almost suppressed, Prince Dan said, "Why is the rebel army here more fierce than the group of rebels just now?"
"It seems that this group of men and horses seems to be a regular army in our city, and the long-range weapons used are all long and short bows and bows and arrows, and the rest of the heavy weapons should also be obtained from the arsenal."
After listening to what a lieutenant said, Prince Dan waved his hand and summoned thirty crossbowmen, all of whom carried the heavy crossbows they had just captured, and shot a rain of arrows at the rebels in front of them.
Not to be outdone, the rebels also brought in two ballistas to release arrows, and more than fifty people on both sides were holding shields and advancing in ballistas, followed by twenty or thirty soldiers armed with crossbows.
The crossbows on both of these crossbow carts were made of special powder ballistas, a row of six ballistas filled with explosives in the middle, with a fire rope at the end for burning to trigger the explosives, and the heads of the arrows were solid grease and burning.
Although this kind of heavy crossbow on the ballista is hugely powerful, because the crossbow body is heavier and carries the weight of a six-pole crossbow gun, the use process is more cumbersome and needs to be fixed by twisting the mechanism when aiming, and it is very likely to cause the crossbow crossbow to be unstable during the operation process, and this heavy crossbow is operated by using the left and right sides of the launch wheel, and the archer needs to rotate the wheel on both sides of the crossbow body crossbow plate with both hands at the same time when firing.
The rebels swarmed the two ballistae to a predetermined range, and the shooter adjusted the best focus of the crossbow before firing.
A row of twelve crossbow guns flew away and were all inserted into the bodies of the Yan soldiers on the opposite side, and due to the great impact force, these Yan soldiers were taken out, and the Yan soldiers behind were also involuntarily retreated by these people.
The burning out of the fire rope at the end of the twelve crossbow guns triggered the explosives, causing a huge explosion in the crowd of Yan soldiers, and the Yan soldiers at the center of the explosion were all blown to pieces, and the surrounding Yan soldiers were also swept out in a formation, and the scene was terrible.
Fortunately, Prince Dan was hidden behind a broken wall, and he was only splashed with blood and was not injured, but he was also a little fainted by such a strong wave of qi.
Prince Dan came back to his senses and saw that the heavy crossbows on the two crossbow carts opposite had been reloaded with crossbow guns, and hurriedly shouted: "Hide quickly."
When these soldiers heard this, they didn't have time to think, and either lay down on the ground with their heads on their backs, or squatted behind the bunker to hide with their heads, so the explosion caused by the ballista did not cause much casualties.
A lieutenant ran to the prince's side and said, "Prince, we don't even have room to fight back if we continue like this."
"I have seen this kind of heavy crossbow, many of our military camps in Jicheng are equipped, although the crossbow gun shot out of this heavy crossbow is huge, but the process is extremely cumbersome when firing, there is a mechanism nut at the junction of the heavy crossbow and the support rod, and the nut must be manually screwed to maintain the position and range of the heavy crossbow when firing, and the other two auxiliary hands on the crossbow car are also needed to help when loading, and the three people can ensure that the arrow is released again at the fastest speed, and he must change the focus when he moves the ballista forward, There is also a delay in reloading the ballista, so we will strike back at both times."
After that, Prince Dan saw that the crossbow gun on the opposite side had been loaded intentionally, so he hurriedly pressed the captain's head down, and then a series of explosions sounded and dust swept in.
In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the terrain to launch a counterattack, Chen Jin ordered the soldiers to stop and shoot on the spot, and the shooters and auxiliaries on the two ballistae hurriedly loaded the crossbows, and the crossbowmen behind the infantry shields on both sides fired a salvo to cover the loading.
"It's now".
After saying that, Prince Dan wanted to order the soldiers to release arrows at the ballista, but he found that all the people on both sides were protecting their heads, and none of them looked up to see the situation.
Seeing this, Prince Dan personally raised his longbow to aim at the shooters on the ballista, and flew two arrows in succession to shoot down all the shooters on the two ballistaries.
Then, Prince Dan threw an oil bladder at it, and as the oil bag flew to the ballista, he fired a rocket at the oil bladder, and the burning oil bladder exploded and splashed out a raindrop of flames.
The flying flames ignited the arquebus at the end of a crossbow, and after a violent explosion, the two ballistas and the soldiers on both sides were annihilated in the flames.
"Attack, attack".
Hearing Prince Dan's order, the soldiers rushed forward together to kill after a while before they reached Chen Jin's eyes, Chen Jin looked at the black and shiny weapons in their hands, and said with a sneer: "Don't think, this is the end."
Chen Jin did not move his footsteps but waved his hand, and fifty soldiers with crossbows ran in front of him to set up a formation, and a rain of arrows shot most of the rushing men and horses to the ground.
"You're too arrogant, that's not good."
Seeing someone shouting on the left, Chen Jin had just turned his head to check the situation, and this person had already rushed to kill him, and before he could fight back, he had already been stabbed to death by a long shot.
This one who killed Chen Jin with a blow from Changge was Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang rode a horse and danced around the rebels again, and the rebels did not dare to step forward when they saw this person kill the main general, and after being knocked down more than ten people, they took a few steps back.
