Chapter 263: The War Reignited (1) (Collect, Recommend, Subscribe)
As the barbarian soldiers in charge of filling the ditch got closer and closer to the range of their own strikes, Su Jun's face looked better, and after being beaten passively for so long, it was the turn of the barbarian to be wounded and bleed.
Sure enough, when the brute soldiers carrying the cloth bags were still about two thousand steps away from the fort, more than 20 three-bow bed crossbows on the two forts followed the swing of the Ling Banner, and all of them turned into a firing state, and the unique chirping sound of the large bed crossbow made Su Jun feel refreshed.
The soldiers at the head of the city all opened their eyes in unison, following the flight trajectory of the huge crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms plunged into the crowd of barbarians, splashing a puff of blood, Su Jun couldn't help but slam his fist against the city wall, and roared loudly:
"Guys well and do a good job!"
The barbarian carried the blow of the three-bow bed crossbow with his own flesh and blood, and continued to carry the weight forward, and finally he was only about a thousand steps away from the target, and the "rain in the sky" in the Anning army began to exert its might.
The so-called "Mantian Rain" is similar to a kind of mortar cannon in Su Jun's previous life, of course, the cannonball is not made of gunpowder, but is made of some well-proportioned small and medium-sized stones, "Mantian Rain" does not have the terrifying lethal power of the three-bow bed crossbow, but it is better than the large number and fast firing speed.
The inconspicuous stone flies out like a locust, and with the bonus of inertial impact, a dozen is naturally a large piece, and it may not die if it is a "rain", but it is determined to temporarily lose its combat effectiveness, of course, if you are unlucky and are directly hit in the head, then you can only say goodbye to your friends around you.
This is the origin of the name "Rain", which is relatively less lethal, but dense and endless, like a downpour from the sky, all over the sky, making it impossible to avoid.
After three or four rounds of "Rain" were fired in a row, the barbarians who were rushing had approached the first ravine, and the brute soldiers quickly threw the cloth bags they were carrying on their shoulders into the ravine, and then ran back with their legs.
At this time, the brute is only more than twenty meters away from the low wall behind the ravine, and if you take an arrow at this distance, unless you are wearing chain mail with excellent toughness and defense, you will definitely be seriously injured even if you do not die.
Sure enough, when the first batch of barbarian warriors responsible for filling the ditch had just rushed to the ravine, the soldiers of the First Army, who had been holding back their anger behind the low wall, hurriedly poked their heads out, bent the bow in their left hand, and launched arrows in their right hands.
Seeing the arrows coming, the barbarians who reacted quickly lay on the ground, curled up, protected their heads and vital parts with armor, and then got up and ran forward after a round of arrow rain, and then got up and ran forward, and the reaction was a little slower and did not have time to lie down, and the body had to be hit by several arrows in an instant, if the arrows did not hurt the vital point, the injured barbarians continued to run regardless of the arrows hanging on their bodies, and the barbarians who were unlucky to be killed by a blow followed the cloth bag they were carrying, and the whole person fell headlong in the ravine, He has also become the material for filling the pit.
Su Jun initially estimated the number of casualties of the other party, this first wave of ditch filling, let the other party pay the price of about five or six hundred lives, the first trench was also roughly half filled, at this rate, if you want to completely fill the three trenches, the barbarian coalition army will lose at least three thousand lives for this, this is still Su Jun's most conservative estimate.
Because the closer you get to the low wall, the probability of the death of the barbarians in charge of filling the pit will increase exponentially, of course, Su Jun's calculation also includes those brute soldiers who were injured and fell in front of the position and could not return to their positions safely, because this group of people almost never had a chance to return alive.
Goodearchie's face was surprisingly ugly, he personally led an army of 100,000 to attack a small military fortress, but he didn't expect that there were few small ravines to stop, and now that the battle had not officially begun, the casualties suffered by filling the first ravine alone made him feel a little unexpected.
"Pass the order, let our Menglu and Flying Arrow Cloud Vehicles move forward at full speed, press the firepower of the Anning Army on me, and cover our warriors to fill the ditch."
"Elder Zuo Yuwei, if our chariot gets too close, the opponent's three-bow bed crossbow will cause damage to the Menglu chariot and the flying arrow cloud chariot."
A general of the White Barbarian Division, who was in charge of commanding the chariot, whispered.
Goodaqi said with a calm face and angry voice: "We can rebuild the chariot if it is damaged, but the warriors cannot be regenerated when they die, and some lifeless dead things will be broken and lost, there is nothing to be sorry for, even if it is broken, the White Barbarian King will replenish it for us, but these tribal warriors are like the brothers of the Great Barbarian King, if they can save their lives, try not to die on the battlefield." ”
The chiefs of the barbarian tribes on the command platform all showed gratitude on their faces, and said excitedly:
"The Great Barbarian King is merciful, and we have nothing to repay it, so we can only order the warriors of our headquarters to take the lead and kill the enemy bravely."
Compared with the Dawu Empire, the productivity and production level of the barbarians are much lower, and most of the raw materials needed to make chariots are mostly obtained through the plundering of other countries.
Of course, for many small tribes in northern Xinjiang, making such an expensive war machine is not something they can afford, and only some large tribes such as the White Amanbu can make it with their wealth after capturing countless craftsmen of the Dawu Empire.
Ordinary small and medium-sized tribes can only follow the White Barbarian Department to charge into battle, and now the Zuo Yuwei Elder of the White Barbarian Department does not hesitate to lose chariots to alleviate the casualties of their warriors, which is naturally something that many barbarian chiefs can't ask for, the chiefs are happy in their hearts, and they praise the Great Barbarian King even more, and Bai Deyuan's prestige will naturally rise even higher in the various departments of Northern Xinjiang.
Bai Ruinuo nodded secretly on the side, no wonder the Great Barbarian King of Bai Deyuan looked at the son of this tribal chief who had been wiped out, compared with these tribal chiefs, whether it was talent or mind, this young Gudarchie was much more clever than others.
The roof of the Menglu cart was lifted, and the soldiers hiding below rushed out with sacks on their backs, while the soldiers in charge of covering each other fired at the Bei'an County garrison behind the two guard forts and the low wall.
The powerful crossbow arrows on the flying arrow cloud car shot fiercely at the Anning position with a whistling sound, and the powerful firepower suppressed the Bei'an army behind the fort and the low wall, this powerful crossbow played no role in the iron wall of the fort, but if it hit the low wall head-on, the huge inertial impact force could penetrate the low wall and cause damage to Bei'an County behind the low wall.
