In the Chu army's array, a roar sounded......

Zhang Ren didn't understand what was going on, but he was also rushing to the front - because he wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the second and third barbed wire.

The speed at which the cannon is discharged is much faster than the initial velocity of the catapult and the white bus, but Zhang Ren's martial artist intuition played a role at this moment!

When the black cylinder was aimed at him, Zhang Ren already felt a burst of shock......

It seems that it is not a group of wood and stone generals fiddling with battlefield equipment aimed at him, but Xu Chu...... No, it's not that strong, it should be said that it is "Zang Ba's featherless arrow", especially one of them - before launching, Zhang Ren was more sure than the gunner, this thing is likely to hit himself!

A cannonball just came towards Zhang Ren......

It is true that everyone wants to aim at Zhang Ren, a little golden man, but in terms of the size of the target and the current distance, the artillery can only depend on luck.

And for a golden and jade general like Zhang Ren, unless it is a time when the battle situation is chaotic, or someone who is proficient in assassination, there are basically some mental omens, especially artillery...... The omen starts with the ignition of the twist, and it is impossible to be defenseless!

In the case of concentration, the path of the cannonball was also visible in Zhang Ren's eyes, but Zhang Ren did not choose to dodge, after all, he also wanted to know what this thing was!

Raise your hand...... Zhang Ren caught a cannonball that seemed to hit his chest with one hand.

Although he had been prepared, but under the first shot, Zhang Ren's arm was still numb from the shock, and some of them did not completely block the force, causing the back of his hand to hit his chest, and even ...... made his waist straighten slightly, and his steps were messed up!

Zhang Ren's eyes also flashed with surprise at this time.

Is it really Zang Ba's level without feather arrows? There are six featherless arrow masters at the level of golden jade generals hiding inside?

Wrong!

Catapults?

It doesn't look like a ......

Not to mention that Zhang Ren didn't understand it at all, what "hit" the solid iron bullet out, and he didn't see a similar throwing structure at all, and more importantly, ...... Ordinary catapult, Zhang Ren even dares to solve it with his face?

And this solid iron bullet......

If Zhang Ren was more cautious and fully prepared at the beginning, he could indeed behave more "calmly", but no matter what, it is difficult to change the fact that this thing has the opportunity to hurt himself!

Don't really say that the face is connected, Zhang Ren feels that even if it is himself, if he is hit in the chest and abdomen head-on one after another, it will not be comfortable to shoot down, and if he shoots five or six times, it is estimated that he will have to be angry and bloody......

For Zhang Ren, it was just an "uncomfortable" attack, and after falling into the Shu army, it directly made the Shu army, which was originally crowded at the entrance of Sizhang, suddenly sparse out a lot!

At the same time, the six artillery pieces continued to be loaded, and the True Qi Bullet Crossbow was not idle, although it was also shocked by its own powerful artillery, but it was not idle in its hands.

The continuous "qi" (firepower) is always pressed at the opening......

If the first artillery attack only beat the Shu army a little painfully and confused, but because it did not understand, it did not quickly "cash" as a loss of morale, then the next second round of artillery salvo directly made the Shu army cringe!

Especially Zhang Ren, who was originally going to "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang" again, was directly and unlucky this time when he was hit by a shot, and even "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang" was interrupted, and at the same time, he ...... Zhang Ren also saw the "sparse" Shu army.

Not only did the artillery cause a large number of attrition in an instant, but the cringe caused by the low morale caused by the low morale made the Shu army that broke through the crack quickly become more and more sparse under the suppression of the true qi bullet crossbow, and even saw that it was driven out of the gap......

Zhang Ren glared at the six artillery pieces hatefully, and then ordered a retreat!

After two rounds of firing, Zhang Ren also probably knew the launch interval of this thing, if it could be maintained, the Shu army crowded together would simply be lambs to be slaughtered.

Soon Zhang Ren led the troops to retreat, and in other defense sections, Yan Yan, who was attracting attention, saw Zhang Ren's banner retreating and then withdrew.

On the third day of attacking the defense line of Zongcheng, the Shu army left the corpses of countless Ji Zao soldiers and even generals in front of the barbed wire, especially where Zhang Ren broke through the defense line, and there were layers of corpses within a few zhang......

After the war, Yan Yan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Ren - he also vaguely heard the sound of cannons.

"The Chu army not only has bullet crossbows, but also some kind of ...... Something similar to a catapult! ”

Zhang Ren, who went to Gu Jia, shook his left hand in front of him, and he still seemed to feel it......

After listening to Zhang Ren's description and learning that Chu Jun actually had such a killing weapon, Yan Yan's heart became even colder.

At the same time, Guo Huai was also listening to the report of the artillery company that was trying to stop Zhang Ren today.

After hearing that Zhang Renshou received the cannonball once, and then he was "stuffed" once when he was still preparing to make a big move and did not have a special defense, but he was able to retreat "as if nothing happened", Guo Huai also sighed in his heart.

His qualifications in martial arts are average, he belongs to the commander-in-chief general, and he is only gilded so far, in terms of pure martial arts, he is indeed just a nobody in the Chu State, and the thirty-six Jinyu generals have not taken his turn......

At present, the mainstream view of most of the generals of the Chu State, and even the staff of the Privy Council, including most of the generals of Jin Yu, is that the true qi crossbow and artillery will further weaken or even completely eliminate the role of personal bravery on the battlefield, and only a limited number of high-level officials, including the privy envoys, have different ideas.

Originally, Guo Huai's ideas were also very "mainstream", but this time when he saw Zhang Ren's performance, he somewhat understood the thoughts of the "non-mainstream".

True Qi crossbows and artillery have indeed greatly increased the importance of ordnance, the former directly makes the combat effectiveness of Ji Zao's soldiers soar, and the latter can even play a "golden and jade-level" attack with the cooperation of some wood and stone generals and Ji Zao soldiers.

However......

One thing that cannot be ignored is that they are all "ranged attacks"!

There are very few tactics, you need to rush to close and scramble, and the artillery uses shotguns to kill and damage enemies at close range, and it is even more useless after hand-to-hand combat, after all, you can't fire artillery indiscriminately where there are people of your own.

And long-range attacks in the world of Chenghime also have a special meaning - the battle armor, which will not be weakened!

In melee combat, a large number of Jizao soldiers will form an invisible force field, weakening the armor to strengthen the generals in all aspects, but when fighting in a simple range, there are no enemy troops around the generals, so they will naturally not be weakened, or the weakening effect is very low, and they can exert the strength that can only be found when fighting alone.

Otherwise, it is like Zhang Ren's phoenix wing Tianxiang, if it is in the confrontation between the two armies, how can it be possible to directly sweep away the enemy within a range of four zhang wide and thirty steps?

When Lu Bu was in armor and jade, he didn't show off his AOE in the enemy army like this......

And if it is in a chaotic war, the projectile will not be directly immunized by painless and itchy, and the solid bullet is not as simple as "hand pain", but ...... It's really a hand-to-hand chaotic battle, so there is still a chance to use guns?

Guo Huai suddenly understood the thoughts of the envoys of Lu Shu - the real qi bullet crossbow and artillery have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army, and naturally if you think about it, it is that the brave force of the generals is covered, but ...... For the real top generals, because of the lack of suppression, it is more likely to change the situation of the battle!

This tearing of the barbed wire fence can be regarded as a warning of no small ......
