Chapter 35: The Siege of Lintao 1
When the order spread the news of the Xiongnu's southward movement to the ears of Meng Tian, who was training cavalry.
Meng Tian was also shocked, he didn't expect that the Xiongnu would dare to wave their army south.
However, Meng Tian didn't think too much, but rushed directly to the city with the cavalry.
And this side.
With the city gate of Lintao tightly closed, those Hun cavalry armies also came to the city.
On the city wall, Meng Dahu stood in the square of the city wall, and a pair of tiger eyes stared closely at the Huns who were getting closer and closer.
In his heart, he thought that to be honest, it was impossible for these 30,000 Hun cavalry to break through this Lintao city. Because this Lintao city is six meters high, and there is also a horse trough, and there is a moat.
Therefore, it is impossible for these 30,000 Hun cavalry to break through.
Unless, unless these 30,000 cavalry are only the forwards, and there are reinforcements behind them. However, Meng Dahu believes that as long as the other party does not have siege equipment, even if the other party has 100,000 cavalry, Meng Dahu is confident that he can defend this Lintao City!
This, that is, the weakness of the cavalry, they can be said to be invincible on the plains, but when they encounter this city, they will not be able to start.
Then.
Meng Dahu saw that the 30,000 forward cavalry were about to enter the range of Daqin's bed crossbow, and the cavalry behind them were also endlessly rushing here, and he couldn't help but sigh at the bravery of the Hun cavalry!
As soon as he entered the range of Daqin's crossbow, the Maudun Lion shouted, "Disperse and disperse...... Watch out for Great Qin's crossbow! ”
With the shouting of the Maudun lion, the Hun heralds began to shout loudly at the same time.
"Dispersed ......"
"Beware of the Great Qin Bow Crossbow!"
Suddenly, the already scattered Hun cavalry became even more loose.
At this time, Meng Dahu had doubts. Weishenme These Huns still dare to rush up, don't they know that the city gate is closed, and it is useless for them to rush up, they are just shot by their own crossbowmen in vain!
However, the sharp-eyed Meng Dahu immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Because, when he saw that among these cavalrymen, there were charioteers!
And those tanks are bigger and longer than the average tank. There's a ladder on it!
"Ah, how is that possible? When will these barbarian Huns build chariots and ladders? Meng Dahu was suddenly a little stunned, he really couldn't understand that these Huns would build siege equipment!
However, in an instant, Meng Dahu calmed down.
Suddenly, Meng Dahu raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, and at the same time said viciously: "Release the arrow!" ”
In an instant, the sound of the horn rose to the sky, and after the horn of attack sounded in an instant, the dense sound of war drums rushed into the sky, and its momentum was enough to pierce the golden cracked stone, which made people's blood boil.
Hundreds of bed crossbowmen were the first to shoot out the murderous weapons that had been arrowed at Xuan.
In an instant, dozens of huge arrows shot towards the Huns who had entered the range.
The ferocity of the bed crossbow is not something that can be stopped by the current manpower. Even if Xiang Yu is the most awesome, against the bed crossbow, it is also dead and warped.
Therefore, dozens of huge arrows instantly broke through the distance of space, and then descended in front of the Huns.
"Puff puff puff ......"
After the whistling, there was a burst of this sound.
The next moment, blood soared into the sky, and minced meat flew sideways. The crying was loud.
Just one shot of the bed crossbow took away more than a hundred Hun lives!
The giant arrow even pierced more than a dozen horses, and directly tore several Hun knights in the back.
Shock, the feeling of the bed crossbow to the Huns is shock, and there is fear!
"Rush, rush, rush! Don't let the bow and arrow hit, won't you dodge? The bed crossbow was fired once, and the second time it was fired, we were all about to rush to the bottom of the city, hurry up! ”
"Rush, ......"
"Hide, Hide......"
"Whew...... Mommy ......"
"Puff puff ......"
All kinds of commanding voices, all kinds of screaming sounds, were all heard, and it was extremely chaotic.
In front of Lintao City, it has become a hell on earth, yes, war is hell, war is death!
After the bed crossbow shot, the shooting in the back is the most feared existence of the Hun cavalry!
Great Qin crossbowman!
I saw that after the two thousand crossbowmen in the first row of cities put on the crossbows that had just been Xuan, they were all raised at an angle of 45 to the Hun cavalry in front.
"Put!"
"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"
The iron arrow burst out with a gripping sound.
"Whoosh ......"
Immediately, those sharp arrows burst through the air, bringing out bursts of whistling sounds, this is the sound of death!
Suddenly, a rain of arrows gathered, and instantly swooped down on the Hun army in front.
The Hun cavalry, who were charging bravely, sank their hearts when they saw the huge black arrow cloud.
This is the most feared killing weapon of the Hun cavalry, if it is a charge and hand-to-hand combat, the Hun cavalry is not afraid of the Great Qin armor, but when it comes to the strong crossbow of the Great Qin, basically all the Huns are extremely afraid!
"Hide!"
"Spread out......"
"Escape the range of the Rain of Arrows ......"
Suddenly, the experienced Hun officers shouted loudly.
But they can't be faster than arrows!
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of arrows entering the flesh was heard, and the four or five hundred Hun cavalry shot people were immediately turned up on their backs.
This was followed by a desperate scream coming from the mouths of the dying Hun cavalry.
The Maudun Lion, who was commanding in the rear, saw the shooting of a single wave bed crossbow and a strong crossbow, and killed and wounded five or six hundred of his cavalry, which made him feel a pain in his heart!
He hated it, he hated how he didn't have a powerful crossbow like Daqin, only some short-range bows and arrows!
After a rain of arrows, those Huns who were not shot continued to charge forward bravely without fear of death. Because only at close range, they can exert their combat effectiveness, and after close range, they can use their bows to fight back, instead of being like now, they can only watch being beaten by Daqin, which is really embarrassing.
After a wave of crossbows fired, the crossbowmen all retreated.
The next moment, the crossbowman, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up with a strong crossbow in his hand and walked up with neat steps. With a terrible horn howl, all the strong crossbowmen raised their crossbows at forty-five angles, and their eyes were aimed at the Hun cavalry rushing in front of them, and they were judging the direction.
At the same time, the arrows of the strong crossbow Leng Sensen had already aimed at the vanguard of the cavalry in front of the Huns.
"Put!" There was another terrible howl, and two thousand strong crossbowmen fired sharp arrows almost at the same time!
In an instant, two thousand feather arrows had already swept into the air, and with a sharp sound of breaking the air, Zuihou turned into an endless rain of arrows, and fell towards the Hun cavalry rushing to the front.
