Chapter 493: The Battle of Destiny (2)
"Three breaths apart! Book an area! Indiscriminate shooting! ”
The rain curtain in the sky couldn't block Ma Lan's voice.
The junior officers gave short and stern orders, and under the dark canopy, behind the barracks fence, five thousand athletes were firmly nailed to their horses, holding the Yuan Rong crossbow in their hands steadily. The steel arrows of cold light flickered into the grooves, and the crossbow strings were already full of power.
All of the Yuanrong crossbows had been brought to single-shot mode, and the rain was running down the crossbow arms and onto the horses.
"Shoot!"
With a loud shout from Ma Lu, the athletes moved their gears at the same time, and the power hidden in the crossbow strings exploded instantly, and the dense steel arrows flew obliquely into the sky and disappeared behind the dense rain and fog.
On the passage left in front of the barracks, just approaching Jafar. The big cavalry on the wooden platform where Sadig was located fell down in an instant. At the edge of the outermost trench, there was a dense scream of wind and rain.
Through the dense rain and fog, a large number of large cannibal cavalry could be vaguely seen lying on the edge of the trench, each with a few steel arrows stuck in their bodies. The power of the Yuan Rong crossbow was so powerful that it could easily pass through their bodies, and the ground on the edge of the trench was instantly stained red with blood, and the blood and water mixed with the rain flowed into the trench.
Not many people can see this horrific scene clearly. Because the rain was so great that it fell on the ground and stirred up rain and mist, and everywhere there was a white expanse. In such weather, one's vision is extremely limited.
Therefore, this wave of arrows rained down, and after shooting down all the big food knights who were close to the trench at the front, in the rain and fog behind, there were still a large number of knights riding horses and rushing over. The knights closest to the dead tried to rein in their horses, but were pushed by the army behind them and had to continue to charge.
In the camp of the Anxi Army, Ma Lan stood on the top of the high arrow tower. This is the commanding heights of this area. The tower itself was very tall and condescending, so he could see far away.
However, this is only relative. His gaze was only barely able to see the end of the range of the Yuan Rong crossbow.
Squinting at the big cannibal lying on the edge of the trench, a bloodthirsty sneer appeared at the corner of Ma Lu's mouth.
I want to take advantage of the Anxi army. How can it be?
……
The rainstorm is like a note, and the Sky Thunder Arrow has been tested and determined to be unusable, and naturally, the fire thunder is also unusable.
These do have an impact on the combat strength of the Anxi Army, but for the Anxi New Army, the core equipment is still the Yuanrong crossbow.
In such weather, Fu Yuan crossbow. Stretch crossbows, horn bow crossbows, single-bow crossbows, and old-fashioned eight-ox crossbows, all of them are useless. Bowstrings made of animal materials are quickly affected in heavy rain and cannot continue shooting.
However, the Great Cannibal would never have thought that the Yuanrong crossbow would not be affected by the heavy rain at all!
In fact, it is not only the Yuan Rong crossbow, but also the new eight-bull crossbow and the riding crossbow in this weather. Again, it will not be affected in any way.
Since the Ma family workshop began to make ordnance, the bowstrings used in various types of hard crossbows have been made. Animal materials are no longer used. It is extremely difficult to make new bowstrings, which is also an important reason why the production of various new hard crossbows cannot be increased.
All the metal parts of the Yuanrong crossbow are greased, so they won't rust in wet weather, and the most important thing is that the bowstring is not affected by heavy rain, so no matter how heavy the rain is, it is not a problem for Ma Lu.
The Yuanrong crossbow is the core equipment of the Anxi New Army. It is the reliance of the new army of Anxi to dominate the world, as long as the Yuanrong crossbow can still be used, then everything is not a problem.
This situation was definitely not expected by the big cannibals.
Because of this, when Ma Lan saw the Great Cannibal celebrating in advance before the big war. I think it's so ridiculous.
The rain came quickly, but it didn't do much.
……
In the single-shot shooting mode, only 5,000 steel arrows can be fired at a time. Since there are three trenches, there is no need to use salvo mode at the beginning.
Through the dense water vapor, the Anxi athletes behind the fence could faintly see many large cannibals falling on the edge of the trench. The first wave of cannibal cavalry rushed up, many of whom were pierced like hedgehogs with men and horses. Blood flowed into the water-filled trench, and the outermost trench instantly turned blood-red.
The miserable cries of dying people could not be heard far in the heavy rain. There was a brave knight who tried to ride his horse over the ditch, but he fell into the ditch with his horse and man.
The cavalry behind didn't know what was happening in the heavy rain, but they still urged the horses to continue to rush forward. The time of three breaths passed quickly, and another wave of arrows fell silently from the sky in the rain curtain that covered the sky, nailing more people to the ground.
On the side of the Anxi Army, due to the rain and fog, it is impossible to accurately evaluate the effect of the shooting. The order given by Ma Lan was that everyone should shoot in a pre-determined area, and the area in front of the barracks would be completely covered. The sound of the bowstring vibrating was completely inaudible in the heavy rain, and the rain of arrows fell overhead without warning, and even the most powerful knight of the Great Eclipse could not react effectively in such weather.
As with every previous battle of the Anzai New Army, the battle turned into a boring massacre from the very beginning.
Ma Lan looked at the wooden platform in front of him, Jafar. Sadigh struggled desperately on it, screaming frantically from his mouth. The wise man, who was still ecstatic just now, was already stunned by the sight in front of him.
Ma Lan smiled slightly, this is the reaction that this Shiite imam should have.
The rain was like an arrow, like a break in the heavenly river, pouring down towards the earth. The turbid water flowed across the ground, and the flow of people rolling up and down the flat hill was like a long dragon, swarming towards the military camp at the top of the gentle slope. In the barracks, the Anxi soldiers lined up behind the fence, calmly and constantly pulling the brackets, adjusting the angle of fire little by little under the orders of the officers, and the rain of arrows began from the edge of the trench and continued to extend to the rear.
The Yuanrong crossbow in single-shot mode has a range comparable to that of the Fuyuan crossbow, and every time the arrow rain falls, it brings countless deaths.
Jafar. Sadiq sat on the wooden platform, struggling and screaming, the heavy chains binding his body, but he ignored them, and the chains flew as if he had gone mad.
Why can the terrible bow and crossbow of the Tang people still be used!
The scene in front of him completely exceeded his cognition.
Although he was a scholar for most of the time, the Shiites were originally opposed to the Umayyad dynasty during the Umayyad period, and he was not ignorant of military affairs. It was common knowledge that the bowstring would slack on a rainy day, and he could never have imagined that such a thing would happen!
"Allah Almighty! Have you forsaken your people? ”
"You heard my pleadings, and this rain has rained, but why are the crossbows of the aliens from the east still working?"
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain and fog rose, and the field of vision was full of white, but there was a faint reddish hint in the white.
It was the blood of the great cannibals, mixed with the rain that rose between heaven and earth.
Jafar. Sadiq watched the Great Food Warriors rush into this Jedi one after another, and then be killed by waves of arrows falling from the sky, and his heart was extremely desperate.
The rainstorm sent by Allah did not damage the Tang people's crossbows, but instead provided a barrier for the Tang people's attacks. If it weren't for this rainstorm, the people behind would have noticed the anomaly ahead, and wouldn't have rushed up so recklessly.
This place is a place of death, and the most devout Muslims, the bravest warriors, have fallen here in waves.
He shouted desperately, but could not hear anything. He was deaf in both ears and didn't know if he was making a sound. The brave warriors continued to make their way through the rain curtain to the edge of the trench, where they were killed by a rain of arrows.
He was a mild-mannered man, and he had always hated war, and such a tragic scene was even more terrible than the last time he had seen it in the city of Rai.
This is the plan of the Tang people, the knowledgeable Tang general who knows everything about the big food, and is the most terrible devil in the world. Almighty Allah, why should there be such a person in the world!
Use him as bait to get devout Muslims out of the city of Isfahan, where they will be shot with crossbows. The rainstorm brought down by Allah became the help of the Tang general.
More and more corpses fell in their field of vision, the rain and fog were getting heavier and heavier, and the soldiers behind were still rushing forward, and the torrential rain had made it impossible for them to see the situation on the battlefield.
Jafar. Sadiq gradually stopped screaming, and looked at the increasingly thick red in front of him, and his expression was extremely sad.
I don't know how many people Ibrahim brought this time, but I'm afraid they will all die here.
That knowledgeable demon, has already won.
He was very sure of the importance of himself to Allah's kingdom, but in such a situation he did not know what he could do, and he only felt a deep powerlessness.
What he can do is probably make himself try to live, no matter what. Because he is more important than Isfahan, more important than all these people.
The words of the knowledgeable demon probably can't be wrong.
……
In the pouring rain, the killing continued under the cover of the rain.
The front of the barracks was open enough to accommodate many soldiers, but even then, the ground was almost covered with corpses, many of which overlapped each other.
The first to rush were Ibrahim's elite troops, and after the cavalry was dead, the infantry, and now it was clear that they were almost dead.
Because in the crowd that rushed over, there were a large number of civilians, both men and women. That's what Michelle said, because for Jafar. Sadigh's captured and extremely angry civilians of Isfahan. They held rudimentary weapons, shouted loudly in the rain that covered the sky, trampled on the blood-colored mud and turbid currents, and groups kept pouring in the direction of the barracks.
Since you came to send you to death, you naturally don't have to be polite. What's more, even if they don't come, they won't be able to escape this catastrophe. Because the order to never seal the sword after breaking the city of Isfahan has been issued, the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers have long been sharpening their knives.
At the rear of the army, Caliph Ibrahim sat on his horse and watched the flow of people roll forward.
There was clearly a battle ahead, and the sound of constant shouting and roaring mixed with painful wails made him extremely excited. (To be continued.) )
