Chapter 295: The Battle of Throwing Stones

Ten miles outside the Iron Horse Pass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a ten-mile-wide plain with a small stream flowing in the middle of the plain. On either side are mountains that stretch and meander endlessly. From an ornamental point of view, the scenery is beautiful. But at the moment, there is a deep murderous motive hidden here.

Song Qi hurried here with an army of 20,000 people, and as soon as he arrived here, he looked up and saw the dust flying in front of him, and faintly heard the sound of people shouting and neighing. He stopped his horse, chose a gentle slope, and lined up his troops on the slope, placing twenty ballistas at the front, looking down down on the slope. Each ballista was assigned two soldiers to be responsible for loading and releasing arrows.

Two thousand archers were arranged behind the ballista, bending their bows and arrows, facing the front. In the face of the Chur machine, which has long-range strike weapons, these two thousand archers are completely put on a show and put on a show.

Behind the archers are thirty old-fashioned stone-throwing carts, from moving stones, pulling arms, and throwing stones, all by manual operation, and a stone-throwing truck requires at least twenty or thirty soldiers to cooperate at the same time. Compared with the Chull, this catapult is centuries behind and has a much much closer range. However, for now, I can only use this rock-throwing roof for a while.

Behind it were 5,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 infantry, in an arc. Such a formation is more suitable for surprise attacks. According to Song Qi's arrangement, his army would first take a stand here, make a surprise attack if possible, and then retreat back to lead Qiuerji's army into the ambush circle.

As soon as Song Qi laid out the formation, the 30,000 soldiers of the Qiuer machine rumbled in. Seeing that Song Qi's soldiers and horses had already driven out of the city, he stopped him halfway, and shouted angrily: "Prepare for the stone throwing cart and destroy this army for me!" ”

The two armies faced each other a mile apart. Song Qi saw that the enemy soldiers had arrived, but they stopped outside the range of the ballista, or even the range of the catapult. It's too far away to talk.

Song Qi immediately stood next to a ballista, his eyebrows locked, his eyes squinting and looking ahead, his gaze falling on the towering stone-throwing cart opposite. Suddenly, I saw a rocker arm raised high, and a stone was thrown into the sky, dragging a long white trajectory, until it flew to the highest position, and then turned, cut through the sky, and flew towards Song Qi's side.

"Boom~" The boulder fell to the ground in front of the gentle slope, and there was a loud bang, which shook the ground a little, stirred up the dust in the sky, scattered in the air, and then landed on the ballista in front of him, and some dust even flew to Song Qi's body. After the dust cleared, a large crater five or six feet in diameter appeared at the place where the boulder fell.

Song Qi raised his hand and patted the dust on his body, raised his eyes to look at the other side, Nachuer seemed to be dissatisfied with the range, and ordered the stone throwers to push the stone throwing cart to move forward.

Song Qi turned back to the stone-throwing soldiers in his army and ordered, "Throw me a stone too!" Remember, try your best to throw as far as you can! Let Chur Machine see what is at stake for us! "These classic cars of their own, the range is not far away, if you hide it again at this moment, it will make the other party look down on you and have no fear.

"Yes!" The stone-throwing man agreed, and began to load the stone and pull the rope. The length of the old rubble is similar to that of the new type of Chull machine, except that it requires manpower to fix the frame and pull up the rope. I saw eight stone-throwing soldiers pulling the thick rope and running forward quickly, the rope "whirred" suddenly tightened, "creak", the stone-throwing arm obliquely placed behind the shelf suddenly erected, "boom~" sound, a boulder was thrown out in the air.

Song Qi touched his chin and looked up at the boulder flying in the sky. The boulder flew like a cannonball, like the opposite side. The trajectory of its flight is very graceful. In Song Qi's opinion, this is much more beautiful than the trajectory that flew from the opposite side. It's just that the throwing angle is a little too high, which will discount the range, which makes Song Qi feel a little regretful.

Alas, after the end of this war, we must build our own new stone throwing carts. At this moment, he regretted that he had spent his time and energy on challenges and martial arts competitions in the past few days, and had not spent time building new rock-throwing vehicles. In the face of powerful ballistas and stone-throwing vehicles, what is the use of high martial arts? A ballista can top at least 100 people, and a stone-throwing cart can top at least 500 people.

"Boom~" The boulder flew in the air for a few breaths, roared and landed on the opposite position, smashing up a dense cloud of dust and flying in the low air. When the dust cleared, you could see that the stone throwing truck on the opposite side had retreated a few steps.

"Good!" The soldiers on Song Qi's side clapped their hands and cheered.

Chu Erji looked at the place, a look of contempt on his face. I saw him swing the three-section stick into the air, and more than a dozen stones were thrown into the sky at the same time.

The dozen or so stones whistled in the air, flying towards this direction at a breakneck speed. Song Qi looked up at the sky and felt that something was wrong. The stones flew at a different angle than the first one, and seemed to be lower.

When the stone was about to hit the ground, I realized that something was wrong. The range of these stones was significantly farther than just now, dozens of paces away.

"Boom~Boom~" The stone fell to the ground with a bang next to the ballista. There were three stones that fell directly on the ballista. The three ballistas were smashed apart, and the racks and shafts of the arrows bounced off and fell into the air. The soldiers at the side of the ballista fled in all directions in terror.

Song Qi understood, just now on the first stone, Qiu Erji hid clumsy and deliberately reduced the range to confuse himself. Fortunately, he did not let the soldiers move forward, Rao was so, and the three ballistas were destroyed, which was equivalent to a discount in combat effectiveness.

"Pull the ballista back and move the stone-throwing cart forward ten steps!" Song Qi ordered loudly.

The soldiers nervously pushed the ballista backwards, and the stone-throwing cart was pushed to the position of the ballista.

Song Qi visually measured the position of the other party, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted: "The angle is forty degrees to fifty degrees, give me all ---!" ”

"Yes!" Two hundred and forty soldiers pulled the huge ropes and ran forward at the same time, and the thirty ropes were tensed and creaked at the same time, and the thirty throwing arms were erected at the same time.

Qiu Erji laughed when he saw the clumsy operation of Song Qi's man-powered rock-throwing trucks.

"Huh~Huh~Huh~", thirty boulders were thrown into the sky at the same time, and they flew up to the opposite side like thirty meteors, which was also quite spectacular.

The boulder flew along a fairly perfect trajectory, crashing into the ground one after another in the position of the Chull plane, smashing with an earth-shattering sound.

Chu Erji was also taken aback, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again. Later, I saw that only one stone hit the catapult, and the other stones were all on the ground more than a dozen steps away from the catapult, and there was no threat to them.

Chu Erji showed a look of contempt on his face, stretched out a little thumb, and shook it at Song Qi from afar, with great mockery and contempt. He then swung a three-section stick into the air a few times and gave the order to throw stones. (To be continued.) )
