Chapter 331: The Foot Crossbow Arrow Array is revealed

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good! The Qin army is attacking and killing! ”

Seeing the scout general running over, he reported to himself the movements of the Qin army. Gupta was suddenly shocked in my heart!

"So fast?" The Sea Protector King said to himself in his heart, "As soon as the enemy general Sima Zhi left, this Qin army came to attack and kill?" I originally thought that the Qin army's attack and killing would not be launched until tomorrow at the earliest, it seems that the dragon elephant king Qin Feng wanted to destroy the heart of his Gupta dynasty, and he was already in a hurry! ”

"How many soldiers and horses does the Qin army have?"

"My king, the black pressure is a large piece, and you can't see the edge at all! The Qin army also carried countless strong bows and crossbows, and countless ordnance, it seemed that their main force was exhausted! ”

"The main force is out?! That's not four or five hundred thousand soldiers? Qin Jun is trying to force himself to fight a decisive battle! "Shamadhara, the Guardian of the Sea. Gupta sighed heavily, it should come sooner or later, but this day, it seems to have come too early!

Thinking of this, the Sea Guardian King Shamadhara. Gupta got up and looked around at the generals of the Gupta Dynasty, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the three armies, meet the enemy immediately!" ”

As soon as the King of the Sea Protector gave an order, the generals of the Gupta Dynasty, as well as the lords of various countries, went down to prepare one after another, preparing to meet the large-scale attack and killing of the main force of the Qin army!

Because Sima Zhi, the first fierce general of the Qin army, had just been at the mouth of the fish, in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and in front of the king of the sea protector, he killed the seventeen generals of the Gupta Dynasty one after another, and he was still in the rain of thousands of arrows, and he came and went freely without any damage! All this almost shattered the morale of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty in their hearts, and the blow was shattered and disappeared!

However, the generals of the Gupta Dynasty, as well as the lords of various countries, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, most of them thought that although the Qin army was powerful, they had the advantage of taking advantage of their own land! Moreover, the Qin army went on an expedition, but his side was ambushed at the mouth of the fish for several days, which belonged to waiting for work! What's more, the main force of the Qin army is four or five hundred thousand, and there are more than 500,000 soldiers and horses on his side, and the number of soldiers and horses on both sides is roughly the same! In this way, whether it is the right time, place and people, they are all on the side of the Gupta Dynasty, no matter how powerful the soldiers of the Qin army are, I am afraid that there is nothing they can do about themselves!

These people speculated that once the main force of the Qin army attacked, they would be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of their own troops, and when the time came, they would only need to fire ten thousand arrows to trap the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army in the mouth of the fish, so that they could not move at all! Even if he can't destroy the main force of the Qin army, if he wants to come to the Qin army to face the superior Gupta Dynasty army, if he wants to fight back and win, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult and impossible!

These optimistic people of the Gupta Dynasty thought very well in their hearts, they thought that they only had to stalemate with the main force of the Qin army here, as long as they waited until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to arrive, then this battle with the Qin army to decide the victory or defeat would undoubtedly end with the annihilation of the Qin army and the complete victory of the Gupta Dynasty!

But how did they know how many crossbows the main force of the Qin army had brought this time, how many giant crossbows of 100 people had brought, how much black powder had been brought, and how many offensive ordnance had been brought!

In the face of these powerful forces, not to mention a small fish belly, even if it is known as indestructible, Hua's City, the capital of the Gupta Dynasty, under the sword of the Qin army equipped with such a sharp weapon, I don't know how many days it can hold out? Or hold on for a few hours?

The main army of the Qin army, after heading to the mouth of the fish, there were tens of thousands of heavily armored foot crossbowmen who took the lead in arranging long-range shooting positions! And this crossbowman position is more than 100 zhang away from the Gupta Dynasty army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info At such a distance, no matter how many arrows and crossbows the Gupta Dynasty has, there is no way to take the Qin army!

Since the range of the feather arrow is not enough, if an iron cavalry is dispatched, while the Qin army's position has not yet been arranged, it will not lose a clever plan! But the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Gupta Dynasty, as well as those lords of various countries, as well as the generals in the army, had just been attacked by Sima Zhi, how could they dare to lead the army into battle so easily?

What's more, the Sea Protector King has already thrown a strict order, and this battle is only allowed to be killed with feather arrows, so that the Qin army can't get closer! No matter how the Qin army was defeated and retreated, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were not allowed to fight! After all, who knows if Qin Jun is really defeated and retreats in such a move? Or is it another trick to lure the enemy?

In this way, tens of thousands of crossbowmen of the Qin army, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty, arranged the bow and crossbow arrow array in a hurry! And behind this crossbow arrow array, there are thousands of hundred-man giant crossbows! After these hundred-man crossbows, there are hundreds of catapults! And on the flanks of these three army formations, the Qin army also arranged countless pawn phalanxes, these pawn phalanxes, each of which has a total of 5,000 soldiers, these 5,000 Qin army soldiers, one by one, not only hold the Qin sword, but also carry crossbows and quivers behind their backs!

After the arrangement of the crossbow arrow array was completed, tens of thousands of crossbowmen of the Qin army were half-lying on the ground according to the order, and the loaders behind were loaded with arrows. Two! Put "! Tens of thousands of crossbowmen fired their arrows in unison.

The range of the feather arrows used by the Gupta Dynasty soldiers was only fifty or sixty zhang, and even if they were shot high and low on the hillside, their range was only sixty or seventy zhang! Although the Qin army's foot crossbow arrow array is arranged in the low-lying place of the fish's belly, the arrows shot at the slopes on both sides will lose part of the power because of the low shooting high, but its killing effect, within 150 zhang, will not have the slightest attenuation!

In such a contrast of strength and weakness, tens of thousands of crossbowmen of the Qin army, just a salvo, there were tens of thousands of arrows, like a tiger out of the cage, with the unique whistling sound of the Qin army's arrows, flying to the cliffs on both sides!

These tens of thousands of arrows, like a big black carpet covering the sky, shrouded the hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty soldiers on the hillside under its rain of arrows! And the Gupta Dynasty soldiers on the slopes on both sides of the mountain, caught off guard, were shot by these arrows in the face, and in an instant, they shot over tens of thousands of soldiers! At the same moment, at the moment when the Qin army released the arrows, on the slopes on both sides of the fish's belly, there was a burst of arrows screaming!

There are hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of the Sea Protector King, and they have never fought against Qin Feng, nor have they ever comprehended the power of Qin Jun's crossbows!

Among them, there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and they are only in Musang Mountain, fighting with Sima Li's troops for a few days! You must know that the 50,000 Qin troops under Sima Li's command are all cavalry of the Qin army, and these 50,000 Qin army iron cavalry are only equipped with hand crossbows, and they are not equipped with Qin army foot crossbows that are inconvenient to transport, let alone the Qin army's hundred-man giant crossbows!

Therefore, these Gupta Dynasty soldiers, when they saw the Qin army's arrows coming, although they all picked up shields to protect them. But in their hearts, they still thought that the Qin army was just releasing arrows to deter! Where the Qin army's arrow array is located, it is more than a hundred zhang away from here, and at such a distance, it is shot low and high, even if these arrows are shot, will they still have any lethality?

It is precisely because of this that these Gupta Dynasty soldiers, under the volley of the Qin army, were killed by arrows, I don't know how many!

And the one who just destroyed the Magadha kingdom and destroyed the Nalanda Temple. Gupta , the 300,000 Gupta Dynasty soldiers and horses under his command have never fought with the Qin army at all!

Therefore, these 300,000 soldiers and horses, for the arrows shot by the Qin army, their contempt and defenselessness are more than those of other Gupta Dynasty soldiers!

It is precisely because of this that these 300,000 Gupta Dynasty soldiers, under the volley of the Qin army's foot crossbows, their casualties are also better than those of other Gupta Dynasty soldiers!
