085 Desperate Battle(10)
Meng Qi had visited several skilled craftsmen earlier, and asked them about the construction of the gate of the Imperial City of Quyu Kingdom and how to attack the city.
Without exception, these craftsmen all said that the gate of the Imperial City of Qu Yuguo was a gate to heaven and creation, and there were almost no loopholes and weaknesses, but Meng Qi could hear from their mouths that no matter how exquisite the fortifications were, there were loopholes, but they were only hidden in depth.
In the end, Meng Qi finally discovered the secret of the city gate of the Imperial City of Qu Yuguo, that is, the weakness of the city gate was under the city gate, and this structural weakness was hardly a weakness in the world of this level of civilization, but they met Meng Qi from the Earth period, and this weakness was fatal enough.
Meng Qi placed six remote-controlled bombs on several bearing points marked on the drawings given to him by the craftsman to destroy the structure of the city gate, and finally used a bomb shock wave to overturn the city gate, so that the strongest contemporary defense of Qu Yuguo was forcibly destroyed with the technology of a thousand years later, which can be said to be the victory of one era over another.
Meng Qi retracted his thoughts and looked at the battle group in the distance, the front of the Pingtian State coalition army was the Qu Yuguo army, they were not wearing weapons, but they still rushed into the city according to Meng Qi's orders.
Behind them were the murderous soldiers of the Hirata Kingdom, who saw Meng Qi break open the enemy's city gate with a wave of his hand, and their morale was greatly boosted, and every soldier was more convinced of Meng Qi.
"Kill!"
On the city wall, the guard Dong Zhao shouted to the surrounding defenders: "Why are you all stunned, give me arrows and stones!" ”
The soldier next to him hurriedly said: "General, most of the soldiers below are soldiers of our Qu Yuguo. ”
Dong Zhao's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Who told you that they are our soldiers of Qu Yuguo?" From the moment they surrendered, they were the mortal enemies of our Quyu Kingdom, and even if Hirata Kingdom didn't kill them, we would slaughter this group of rebels with our own hands. ”
Hearing this, all the soldiers were awe-inspiring, they obeyed Dong Zhao's order, and no longer cared about the unarmed Qu Yuguo soldiers in the siege team below, they set up their bows and shot ruthless arrows at their former comrades.
Whoosh, countless arrows came overwhelmingly, Meng Qi glanced at it, startled, he didn't expect that at this time, the team of archers with about a hundred people in the team on the city wall could release such a large number of arrows, there was only one explanation, there was a repeating crossbow in the other city.
It seems that it is not that there are no high-grade cold weapons in this world, but that Hirata Province does not have them. Meng Qi thought secretly.
The arrow fell, and after the acceleration of the fall from a high place, the sharp arrow tore the air and hissed a scream, and the sound of hundreds of arrows was superimposed, and the sound was amazing.
The enemy troops of Qu Yuguo below heard the sound, and as soon as they raised their heads, they were shot by arrows.
The arrows pierced into their bodies, bringing blood gushing out, and the poor soldier fell to the ground, howling in pain, but after the soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell, the rain of arrows in the sky did not let them go, and the rain of arrows fell, turning the battlefield below into a thorn bush of arrows.
The soldiers of Qu Yuguo screamed in despair, they didn't expect that the defenders of the imperial city would aim their arrows at them so cruelly, without any regard for the past.
The opponent's crossbow arrows seemed to be endless, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun was wave after wave, mercilessly washing away the army below that wanted to pour into the city.
In just one minute, more than 1,000 people had been killed or wounded in the front army.
Meng Qi was amazed to see that the defenders of the city on the opposite side were so cruel, and after watching for a while, he shouted at the right time: "11 people from the local branch, cover!" ”
"Yes!" There was an echo from the jungle, and then 11 men ran out of it, armed with black AK rifles, and when they approached the wall, they half-crouched, aimed at the archers at the battlements of the wall, and opened fire.
After a burst of gunfire weakened by the muffler, the archers at the battlement were shot on the spot, and Dong Zhao, the defender of the city, looked horrified, and subconsciously took a few steps back, away from the wall.
The repeating crossbow used by the defenders of Qu Yuguo can fire five arrows at a time, but the power is not great, the range is only about 50 meters, while the range of the AK-47 is more than 300 meters, and the 11 people of the ground branch can dominate the battlefield as long as they control the combat distance of about 100 meters.
"Top!" Dong Zhao shouted to the back.
"Yes!" Immediately a new group of archers stepped forward, and they dragged the corpses of the dead soldiers aside, set up their crossbows again, and prepared to shoot, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were shot directly, and this would kill anyone who came close to the walls.
For a while, the defenders of the city panicked, and no one dared to step forward to take a bow.
Taking advantage of this short gap in defense, the army below rushed towards the city gate.
Dong Zhao roared angrily: "Move the bow and crossbow to the back, don't need to aim, and release the arrow in the air!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers crouched down and moved behind the wall, moved their crossbows to the back, away from the wall, and raised their bows again, and pointed them at an angle of about forty-five degrees in the air, even if they could not see the enemy below.
The 'Whoosh' Arrow Rain started again, and although it was not as accurate as before, it still blocked the combined army on Hirata's side.
Meng Qi saw that there was no human figure at the battlement of the opposite city wall, but he could still release arrows, and he smiled bitterly.
The army of Qu Yuguo did not have shields and weapons to cover it, and in the face of this rain of arrows, they could only be restrained, and the army of Pingtian State behind them was fully equipped, and they held shields to resist the rain of arrows above, and charged forward fearlessly.
On the side of the soldiers of Hirata Country, leading the team at the forefront was Zhang Dagen of Dazhuguo, who led the army all the way forward, shouting: "Get out of the way!" ”
The troops of Qu Yu Kingdom in front hurriedly made way for the army of Hirata Kingdom in the back.
Meng Qi shouted at this time: "Qu Yuguo surrenders to the army and listens to the order!" Retreat to a safe distance for the time being! ”
"Yes!" Qu Yuguo's troops were grateful, and they hurriedly turned around and fled from the rain of arrows.
After rushing to the safe area where the arrow rain could not reach, Qu Yuguo's troops wiped a cold sweat, and they sat on the ground weakly, looking up at the dense crossbow arrows in the distance, in addition to fear, there was infinite desolation and sorrow in their eyes.
The former comrades-in-arms pointed the arrows at them, and the emperor of the Hirata Kingdom was able to consider them for the sake of these surrendering troops, let them retreat temporarily, and let the equipped soldiers of the Hirata Kingdom take their lives, undoubtedly pulling back their lives on the verge of death, they looked at the corpses of their companions not far away, and began to think about whether the Qu Yuguo, which they had always been loyal to, had really considered for their soldiers.
The army led by Zhang Dagen rushed all the way, and the rain of arrows above their heads could not stop their footsteps, and they were about to rush into the city, when a row of boulders suddenly rolled down from the city wall.
The sound of 'boom' exploded overhead, and Zhang Dagen and the soldiers raised their eyes and were startled when they saw the boulder rolling down.
Meng Qi, who was in the distance, also widened his eyes when he saw it.
"Fuck, this thing?!"
