Chapter Two Hundred and Two: The Might of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array

"The army listens."

Looking at the already ready archbow legion, Gan Mao developed the attack order with a wave of his hand.

Hearing the general's order, the extremely large archery and crossbow corps prepared by Wang totaled more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army and manipulated various strong bows and crossbows.

The sound of the various bows and crossbows activating the mechanism was sounded, the bow and crossbow firing devices were all raised, and the bed crossbows were ready, and the bows and crossbows were loaded with at least two more arrows.

The officers and men of the Qin army, who numbered more than two thousand heavy bed crossbows, were ready.

As for the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army who were operating bows and crossbows, they all sat on the ground and manipulated the heavy bows and crossbows placed on the ground in front of them.

Load the crossbow with another row of black arrows placed next to you.

Immediately, these Qin soldiers lay directly on their backs on the ground, pulled the bowstring with both hands, kicked the bow with their legs, and raised the shooting angle, ready to shoot.

In the eyes of ordinary people, bows and crossbows are controlled by hand, and in fact they are, but they are limited to ordinary bows and crossbows.

In the face of this heavier, longer-range, and more lethal heavy bow and crossbow, it is necessary to use both hands and feet to control.

As for the one who can give full play to the power of the weapon of the bow and crossbow in the world, there is only the unique Qin State.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Gan Mao turned and ordered.

"Rub ......"

The sound of the bowstrings of countless bows and crossbows trembling sounded, some large and some small, and the heavenly crossbow arrow array prepared by the king for the coalition army was also launched at this time.

Countless arrows of different lengths rose into the sky like a black dragon.

Tens of thousands of powerful crossbow arrows leaped up from behind the walls of Hangu Pass and hurled towards the coalition forces below Hangu Pass.

"It's just past noon, why is it getting dark?"

This strange thought surged in the minds of the 100,000 allied troops who were in the midst of retreat and attack.

But immediately, the hearts of countless coalition soldiers were replaced by fear.

Looking up at the dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun, many veterans of the battlefield instantly analyzed what this terrible dark cloud represented, and everyone felt frightened.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Quick, the army retreats at full speed!"

"The shield hand raises the shield, defend, defend!"

Wang Liao, who was leading the army to prepare to swap offensive positions, roared hoarsely.

However, the 100,000 allied troops who had already formed a group under Hangu Pass could not effectively evade it.

People can only push each other frantically and retreat, and even trample on each other, but they can't retreat.

In the rear, Dai Tuo and Tian Wen and others, who suddenly looked at such a drastic change, felt even more terrifying.

Such a terrifying array of ten thousand arrows can only be deployed by 300,000 troops among the coalition forces.

Seeing such a drastic change, everyone was shocked, and they all sweated for the coalition soldiers who were about to be attacked by ten thousand arrows.

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of arrow feathers rained down on the heads of the 100,000 allied troops in an instant.

Countless coalition soldiers were instantly torn apart by the terrifying strong bows and crossbows, and the range of damage continued to expand.

"Ah......h

Countless coalition soldiers who were hit by the volley of 10,000 arrows all let out a scream, and then fell to the ground weakly.

According to visual observations, the first wave of attacks alone, the 100,000 coalition forces suffered no less than 3,000 casualties.

In fact, this is also the result of the terrain of Hangu Pass, and the 100,000 coalition troops can only be embraced as a group.

Under the attack of the terrifying Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array, he was used as a living target.

Not only that, waves of arrows continued to fly from behind the wall of Hangu Pass, pouring down among the coalition forces like a storm.

The original black pressure, like dark clouds, densely crowded under the Hangu Pass, the coalition soldiers fell in a queue like dominoes under the attack of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array.

The Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array, which Wang had worked so hard to prepare for the coalition army, also exerted its most powerful effect at this time, ruthlessly harvesting one fresh life after another like a harvester.

The shield-bearers of the coalition were undoubtedly lucky at this time, as their shields gave them the most protection.

However, there were also some unlucky coalition shield bearers who were directly hit by the heavy bed crossbows of the Qin army, and even the people with shields were directly torn apart.

"The army retreated in an orderly manner, and those who violated the order were beheaded. ”

In the midst of the coalition forces, Wang Liao, who was holding a shield, roared loudly.

Looking at the falling coalition soldiers, Wang Liao's heart was dripping blood!

This is the elite of the country, so even the Qin army's body has been damaged so much before it is close, how to explain it when you go back?

And Wang Liao is also worthy of being a famous general of the world, after seeing that the situation is about to get out of control and become uncontrollable.

After leading the pro-guard troops to personally kill dozens of non-commissioned officers of the coalition army who pushed and retreated, he gradually stabilized the situation and gradually led the coalition army to retreat in an orderly manner.

As the coalition forces gradually withdrew from the range of the Qin army's crossbows, Wang also ordered the crossbow corps to stop the attack.

"General, today's results are gratifying!"

I saw Gan Mao, who ran up from under the city wall to Hangu Pass, looked at Wang and said excitedly.

"The Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array prepared by the general for the coalition army is really terrifying!"

"Under the blow of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array, the one-time casualties of the coalition army are probably close to 40,000, while the soldiers of our Qin army have only lost less than 2,000. ”

"There is the general's heavenly crossbow arrow array, combined with today's situation, I am afraid that it is more than enough to hold on to Hangu Pass for half a month, and then the reinforcements should climb even if they climb!"

Gan Mao could not hide the excitement in his heart, but the king was not happy at all.

"General Gan Mao, although the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array is powerful, the coalition forces that have already suffered may not be easily fooled again. ”

Wang sighed and said, Gan Mao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he also reacted.

"Yes, whoever has suffered such a big loss, I'm afraid they won't be easily fooled. ”

"Besides, although the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array is powerful, it can't avoid a fatal problem, that is, there are not so many crossbow arrows for it to consume. ”

Gan Mao was also helpless in his heart.

Thinking of the terrifying amount consumed by the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array just now, even Gan Mao couldn't help but feel a burst of shock.

The Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array consumed fifteen thousand arrows at one time, and just now, the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array had a total of more than twenty rounds of strikes with ten thousand arrows.

Nearly 350,000 arrows were fired, otherwise the coalition would never have suffered such huge casualties.

The number of arrows consumed is already nearly half of the entire Hangu Pass reserve, and it is really unrealistic to use the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array to defend against the enemy all the time.

"Then general, how should we resist the enemy in the future?"

Gan Mao asked, probing.

"Stand by for help!"

"The second wave of enemy troops should be about to arrive under Hangu Pass, so let's use the second killing move. ”

After the king finished speaking, he began to inspect and comfort the wounded soldiers of the Qin army under the Hangu Pass.

"Reinforcements, are there any reinforcements?"

Gan Mao looked at the fallen soldiers of the Qin army on the city tower and the corpses of the coalition troops that had been piled up nearly ten zhang high and had a scale of seventy or eighty thousand under the Hangu Pass, and his heart was extremely bitter.
