Chapter 37: The Power of the Eight Oxen Crossbows

With the flying of sharp arrows, there were soon nearly 100 unlucky Dongying soldiers who were the first to be hit by arrows, but they were the first batch but not the last batch, because the crossbowmen of the Han army shot arrows very fast, almost after the first wave of arrow rain, the second wave of arrow rain followed, and the five hundred Dongying soldiers who attacked first were hit by a devastating blow not long after they set off.

The terrible screams continued to sound, and almost all the Dongying warriors who were hit by the arrows fell into the water, and the sea surface in this area was instantly dyed red.

The distance of less than 100 meters became a nightmare for the Dongying soldiers, in the face of the rain of arrows, they had no way to resist, when the Han army fired a thousand arrows in a row, there were few of the attacking 500 Dongying soldiers left, only three red horse boats were evacuated, and corpses were floating everywhere on the sea.

"Well done!" Chen Ying's face showed a touch of joy, it didn't take a single soldier to annihilate hundreds of enemy troops, this was already a victory, of course, he knew, this was the beginning, the enemy had six thousand people, although it lost hundreds of people, but it was not enough to say that it was broken.

"Deputy Commander Xiahou, is the consumption big?" Chen Ying asked Xiahou Ying, the Han army has just formed an army, and there is a shortage of resources, just like arrows, the number is limited, and when you fight on the sea, you will shoot one less one, so you have to save it.

"My lord, a thousand arrows were consumed, and this time, the general took most of the arrows away, leaving us with only eight thousand." Xiahou Ying replied.

"Eighths of it was consumed in just a short time?" Chen Ying was a little stunned, it was certainly good to kill and injure the enemy without hurting a single soldier, but the consumption of resources was too great, the war had just begun, and this kind of consumption was not good.

"In this way, if the enemy launches an attack, shoots half of the enemy, and releases some enemies over, the war will inevitably have casualties, how can you grow into a qualified warrior without blood? If you can't hold it anymore, you're using a bow and arrow! Chen Ying thought for a while and said.

In this regard, Xiahou Ying has no opinion, the consumption of bows and arrows is indeed a bit large, although saving bows and arrows will lead to the death of warriors, but at least it can ensure that when the enemy attacks on a large scale, it can have the ability to strike from a distance.

The first wave of attacks of the Dongying people was frustrated, but it did not take long, and the next deployment was to unfold, in the eyes of Chen Ying and others, the two warships slowly approached, came to a distance of more than 100 meters, and then lined up left and right, just like the two warships of the Han army that blocked here, and immediately after, a rain of arrows followed.

"It's not good, Dongying's crossbowmen have begun to release arrows, all the warriors have done a good job of concealment, the crossbowmen return fire, and suppress the enemy's crossbowmen!" Seeing a large number of arrows flying in, Chen Ying's face changed and he hurriedly ordered.

However, it was still a little late, although most of the soldiers reacted, but there were still more than thirty soldiers who did not have time to hide and were shot by arrows!

"Shoot the arrows!" Xiahou Ying let out an angry roar, the two hundred crossbowmen of the Han army began to release arrows, and the Dongying people deliberately put the two crossbowmen closer to the Han army in order to let the range of the crossbowmen shoot to the side of the Han army, and now the two sides are only fifty or sixty meters apart, and the range is absolutely enough.

Soon, there were pieces of black shadows on the sea, the Han army had two hundred crossbowmen on this side, and the Dongying army was obviously more than the Han army, shooting each other three or four times, the Han army failed to suppress the long-range attack of the Dongying people, but lost thirty or forty crossbowmen, the Dongying army should also have losses, but because there are warships to block it, I don't know what the result is.

"My lord, the enemy has more crossbowmen than us, and we can't suppress them, so if we continue like this, our crossbowmen will be finished." Xia Houying was a little anxious when she saw this scene, and said to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying's face was also a little ugly, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, there were still too few crossbowmen on his side, and the sailor did not have a special crossbowman, this was a shortcoming.

"Let the warriors who control the Eight Bull Crossbows get ready, use the Eight Bull Crossbows, I still don't believe it, the shooting of more than a dozen Eight Bull Crossbows can't suppress the enemy!" Chen Ying gritted his teeth and said.

The Eight Bull Crossbow is definitely one of the big killers of long-range attacks in this era, a main arrow is three meters long, six secondary arrows are two meters, the range is nearly eight hundred meters, the impact is quite amazing, the lethality is large, the Han army built from the Dongying warship and itself during this time, a total of twenty-four, this battle, Chen Ying arranged six on each of the two warships.

Although the attack of the Eight Bull Crossbow is strong, but the cost of the arrows is too expensive, a set of Eight Bull Crossbow arrows is equivalent to five hundred ordinary arrows, the Han Army has a total of fifty sets, there are thirty-six sets on these two warships, Chen Ying is reluctant to use it, but now it is not necessary!

Soon, a total of twelve eight-ox crossbows were all ready, one eight-ox crossbow needed thirty people to control, and now there were only three hundred and thirty or forty people on this warship, which was not enough at all, Chen Ying could order the transfer of two hundred soldiers from the subsequent warships to support, and at the same time ordered eight of the eight-ox crossbows to start designing.

The Han crossbowmen stopped firing and participated in the firing of the Eight Bull Crossbows, and two hundred and forty Han soldiers, braving the enemy's arrows, began to fire the Eight Ox Crossbows.

"Put!" With Chen Ying's loud shout, "Buzzing 、、、、、、" sounded eight times in a row, and the two warships that had been relatively fixed began to shake under the powerful impact force at this moment, and the Eight Bull Crossbow with a range of 800 meters shot at a target of only fifty or sixty meters, and this impact force can be imagined.

Almost instantly, a total of fifty-six arrows entered the warship, some penetrated the top deck, and the crossbowmen behind them fell into bad luck, and some passed through the hull, their tongues penetrated the bilge, and the two Dongying warships began to enter the water, and the powerful eight-bull crossbow actually destroyed the two warships.

The soldiers on the two Dongying warships panicked, and began to flee one by one, preparing to flee from the warship, because the sinking speed of the warship was very fast.

"Crossbowmen release arrows!" Aware of this scene, Chen Ying decisively asked the crossbowman who controlled the Eight Bull Crossbow to pick up the Ox Horn Bow again to shoot, because the soldiers on the two Dongying warships began to panic, when a batch of arrows rained down, taking away a large number of lives, all of this came from the huge power of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

"This eight-bull crossbow family is really terrifying!" Chen Ying let out a heartfelt admiration from his mouth, he himself didn't expect that just eight Eight Bull Crossbows could cause such a result!

"My lord, we used the Eight Ox Crossbow, so I think the people of Dongying should also use the Eight Ox Crossbow, if there is at least one of each warship, we will also face about thirty Eight Ox Crossbows, the situation is not good." Sima Xin said at the right time.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ying's expression, who was still happy to sink the two Dongying warships, changed greatly, and then cold sweat flowed out, which he missed, yes, if this is the case, most of the two warships will be shot to pieces, no matter what, these two warships will not be able to stay.

"Pass the order, get all the fighters ready, put all the equipment. All the supplies were transferred, and while the two warships had not completely sunk, blocking the enemy's attacking view, we had to evacuate immediately. Chen Ying hurriedly ordered.

The ship can be gone, people have to be saved, he is not afraid that the enemy will destroy these two warships, because even if it enters the water, these two warships will not sink completely, the waters at the mouth of this pot are relatively shallow, as long as these two warships are still blocked here, then the enemy's warships will not be able to enter, and they will not be able to enter, then this battle has not been lost!
