One, two......

Several ships had already passed through the ambush section, and the generals had still not received the order to attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Several generals were a little anxious, and they didn't know why Zang Ba didn't move here.

Chang Xuan, who was lying next to Zang Ba, was also anxious, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Big brother, if you don't give any more orders, the fleet will pass." ”

Zang Ba didn't respond to him, still frowning and staring at the slowly moving boats in the river.

"Something is wrong, the boat is too shallow."

Chang Xuan didn't hear Zang Ba's murmur clearly, and hurriedly urged: "Big brother! ”

Maybe it's overthinking, right? Zang Ba shook his head fiercely, no matter what, the preparations ahead cannot be in vain, even if there is a problem, the other party is on the boat, what can they do to them on the riverbank?

Thinking of this, Zang Ba firmly and forcefully gave the order to attack: "Rise!" ”。

The soldiers who had already prepared pulled the hooks that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

"Pong! Disheveled! ……”

There was a dull crash in the water, and many of the ships shook. This is caused by the stakes, iron tools, etc. on the hook hitting the bottom of the ship.

Some of the hooks that didn't hit the ship were across the water, dividing the fleet into several parts.

"Throw a spear!"

Another order was given, and thousands of spears flew towards the ships on the water with a whimpering sound on both sides.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Except for a few spears that fell into the water, all the others hit the hull, and many of them were nailed into the cabin, causing screams.

The soldiers cheered.

However, Zang Ba frowned.

"Big brother, is there any problem?" Chang Feng was also cheering like the soldiers, but when he turned his head, he found that Zang Ba had a solemn expression.

"It's so calm!" Zang is domineering.

"What's too calm, not calm, the brothers are very excited!" Chang Feng wondered.

"The boat was so calm that there was little unusual except for the hull shaking and a few screams. How would our soldiers react if they were hit by a similar ambush? ”

"You might panic and mess around for a while." Chang Xuan replied casually, and suddenly he understood what Zang Ba meant, "Big brother, is it an empty ship?" ”

Zang Ba shook his head and ordered, "Keep throwing spears!" ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

All the soldiers threw out all the spears assigned to them.

Each soldier had three spears, and all of them combined had more than 10,000, which were distributed to each boat, which was enough to tie the boat into a hedgehog.

However, the boats in the river still did not appear in the scenario that Zang Ba expected.

"Not good!"

Zang Ba just screamed, and before he could react, he saw that all the boats in the river were moving.

With a bang, all the heavy hatches of the ship were pushed open, and one by one they rolled down the ship with spears stuck to them, floating on the water.

This is an ordinary hatch, it is actually a haystack sandwiched between cowhide and iron planks, but it was covered with gray cloth and could not be seen before. The spear pierced on it did not penetrate at all, let alone the people who pierced the cabin, and it is conceivable that the screams before were just the people on the ship cooperating with the acting.

The hatch was opened, and the scene inside the cabin was unobstructed, revealing rows of brightly armored soldiers in front of Zang Bajun's eyes. Their faces were calm, and they squatted in a staggered manner next to some kind of crossbow machine that Zang Ba had never seen.

Yes, Zang Ba could be sure that the strange half-human-tall device was a crossbow machine, because the arrows that had been installed on it were flashing cold, aiming at them, like the eyes of a hungry wolf locking on its prey.

"Quick, quick, release the arrow!"

Zang Ba gave an order as soon as he saw the crossbow arrows, he couldn't let the soldiers on the ship shoot the crossbow arrows first, that would cause them heavy losses. He hoped to shoot arrows to suppress the enemy soldiers, as long as his side released the arrows first, the enemy soldiers on the ship would have no chance, because experience had taught him that the frequency of archery must be faster than that of the crossbows, and they had more troops than the ship.

The soldiers of Zang Bajun are all composed of bandits who have followed Zang Ba and others for many years, and their loyalty and execution are not at all to say, they can be regarded as the elite division of Xuzhou. As soon as Zang Ba's words fell, most of the soldiers smoothly drew their arrows and put on the bowstring.

But at the same time, the commander of the ship gave the same order: "Shoot! ”

The order was short and powerful, and those soldiers also pulled the trigger as soon as possible, and their actions were swift and neat, and their response speed even far exceeded that of Zang Bajun, and thousands of people were like one person.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

The stout crossbow bolts were like lightning and fire, carrying the sound of the wind to the banks of the river.

A soldier beside Zang Ba had just come to open the bowstring, and was about to aim, when he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, he subconsciously wanted to move his body to dodge, but instantly felt a tingling pain in his chest, and his body was involuntarily carried backwards, he only had time to sink his gaze and scan, and what caught his eyes was the blood gushing out and the blood hole that could not be closed as thick as his thumb. The image froze in his eyes, and he didn't even think of making a sound.

All this happened to be captured by the corner of Zang Ba's eyes, from the time he saw the crossbow arrows on the ship to the soldiers lying down beside him, it seemed to be in an instant.

He couldn't estimate how many soldiers like this person around him had been pierced by crossbow arrows before they could react, but from the screams he heard, there were so many such soldiers that he couldn't bear them.

"Get down and fight back!"

Zang Ba shouted loudly while lying down.

At this time, he didn't dare to think about casualties, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only hope that the enemy's crossbow machine was smaller than his own, and the difference in the time it took for the crossbow machine to change arrows to save the situation.

The number of crossbow machines on the ship is indeed less than half of the number of Zang Bajun, the first round of shooting, Zang Bajun did have a lot of soldiers have shot arrows, but due to the influence of the crossbow arrows first, many soldiers are just hurriedly shooting arrows, even aiming is saved, the hit rate can be imagined, even if it hits, it cannot directly cause heavy casualties like a strong crossbow arrow.

And the crossbow machine that Zang Ba hoped to use was also disappointed in him, and as soon as he lay down, the opponent's second batch of crossbow arrows had already been shot.

The opponent didn't reload the bolts at all, and it seemed that they didn't aim at all before firing again.

The crossbow arrow didn't hit Zang Ba, but Zang Ba felt that his heart was dripping blood. It's over, suppression, this is the suppression you want, but it's replaced by the other party suppressing yourself.

His reddened eyes were fixed on the crossbow that was devouring the lives of his soldiers, as if trying to figure out what kind of perverted thing it was.

Zang Ba didn't know that there was no such weapon in his consciousness, and his troops had become the first victims of this weapon. This weapon is called the Yuanrong crossbow, which is an upgraded version of the Zhuge crossbow decades later, which can be loaded with ten crossbow arrows at a time, and the soldiers on the opposite side are the elite Yuanrong crossbowmen.
