Chapter 997: Wencheng Attack and Defense

Before the arrow arrived, the fierce murderous aura had already rushed to his face.

"Senior brother, this is the murderous aura I just felt!"

"So powerful?"

Li Si pressed Han Fei's head, and the two crouched under the battlements.

An arrow swept over the heads of the two men, lifting the red tassels from their helmets into the air.

The path of the giant arrow swept through, and the murderous aura in the face emanated downward, blowing the faces of Li Si and Han Fei painfully.

"What a cluster of arrows!"

"When did Wei develop such a powerful crossbow arrow?"

Han Fei was a little stunned.

As a general in the Warring States Period, he will be involved in the military equipment and weapon research and development of the Seven Kingdoms.

Like Han Fei and Li Si learned from Xun Qian, martial arts were divided into 100 enemies, 1,000 enemies and 10,000 enemies.

The subjects of these thousand enemies include technical attacks, warriors, chariots, equipment, and so on.

Naturally, it is known the degree of research and development of weapons and equipment in various countries.

The main reason why Han Fei and Li Si are so optimistic about Qin instead of serving in their own country is that after judging that in the face of absolute strength, they believe that Qin's weapon research and development should be in the forefront among all countries.

For example, the standardized production of weapons in the Qin State, the length of the sword, the fineness, hardness and weight reduction of armor and other technological improvements were all compared with other countries.

Not to mention Qin's hand crossbow.

This was a revolutionary feat at the time.

Kill in 300 steps!

Who can be a hundred thousand Qin soldiers armed with short crossbows?

That terrifying penetrating power is capable of shooting a heavily armored general.

Of course, the other six nations were not fools, and would naturally come up with various other tricks to deal with Qin's military superiority.

For example, Zhao tried to attack Qin through its strategic advancement, outflanking the various defensive cities around Qin Hangu Pass from the north.

Because the cavalry of Zhao State surpassed other countries after Queen Zhao Wuling, the mobility of each person can be compared.

Like Wei, Korea, Chu, Qi, Yan, etc., they put their main forces on chariot battles when fighting.

Zhao Guo attacked through cavalry with an absolute advantage in movement speed.

Therefore, as long as there is enough flat land, the Qin State is definitely not an opponent of the Zhao State.

Like the Wei State, to deal with the Qin State, you can only work the armor.

There is nothing to say about the heavy armor of the Wei State, and the short crossbows of the Qin army are basically ineffective.

It is said that the heavy armor was filled with top-secret iron armor.

Like South Korea, the giant crossbow, the big bow and the warrior fight are also very distinctive.

It's a pity that the national strength is too thin, and it is in a position of being crushed against Qin.

Seeing such a giant arrow, Han Fei couldn't help but doubt his judgment a little.

If this advanced level of bow and crossbow were used in actual combat, who would be able to withstand the shooting of this giant arrow?

Now only a pair of bows and crossbows appeared, and only three arrows were fired, which had already made Han Fei and Li Si tremble.

They know that this kind of killing weapon can sometimes determine the course of a battle on the battlefield.

Especially in terms of momentum, who wants to let their soldiers face such a killer weapon?

An arrow swept over the heads of Han Fei and Li Si, and directly collapsed the watchtower behind them.

Then another arrow hit the battlements where Han Fei and Li Si were hiding.

With a "boom", the huge stone wall was shot down.

Huge clusters of arrows shot from the outer walls into the inner walls, and the debris of the stone was ejected and splashed.

The iron-wrapped round arrows were impressively exposed in front of Han Fei and Li Si.

Less than a meter apart.

The two were tossed to the ground by the murderous aura carried by the arrows.

The tail of the arrow buzzed outside the wall, as if it was very dissatisfied with the barrier of the wall.

The third arrow was fired at the city gate, and the giant wooden gate wrapped in iron was immediately pierced.

The giant arrow shot into about three meters, and the power was terrifying.

Han Fei and Li Si were stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered their lieutenant generals to lead the army to defend the city.

The Qin army practiced fighting, even if there was such a powerful and terrifying giant arrow attack, it still operated according to the procedures of defending the city.

The archers fired, and the city was instantly covered with Qin soldiers.

When the rain of arrows hit, Sikong Yan ordered the heavy army to raise their shields and squat on the ground to avoid the rain of arrows.

The Acropolis soldiers brought by Charlotte were well-equipped and unparalleled in the world, and the Qin army's arrow clusters could not penetrate the armor at all, except for a few arrow clusters that could not be protected by the armor, such as knees, insteps, necks, etc.

After a rain of arrows, more than 10,000 Acropolis soldiers exposed to Wencheng suffered casualties of about 100 people.

Immediately, Sikong Yan waved the long sword in his hand, and the crashing car drove from behind.

Concentrate on attacking the south gate, because the terrain here is relatively open, and the troops can still be deployed.

The terrain of the east and west gates is narrow, and they can only be passed, so they cannot be effectively attacked.

The dominance of the Qin state in terms of terrain is reflected here.

He can come out and beat people, and it will be no problem to pass through the narrow passage of Kuihan, and no one will ambush him.

But if other countries want to fight him, it will be a big trouble.

First of all, Hangu Pass is a natural risk, and it takes a lot of effort to overcome it.

Even if the Hangu Pass was breached, there were countless defensive cities built by the Qin army inside.

In addition, the terrain is complicated, the mountain road is like a turn, and you have no temper at all if you ambush at random.

Coupled with logistics supplies, as soon as the battle line is lengthened, none of the six Kwantung countries has a complete logistics supply line, and no one has the ability to guarantee that such a long logistics supply line will not be attacked by the Qin army.

Therefore, the Warring States Period was an unreasonable era, and he deserved that Western Qin could bully the other six countries, he stood tall, and he was like a bamboo from top to bottom.

He never needed to worry about his logistical supplies, he only needed to take Han and Wei, expand the depth of attack to the east of Hangu Pass, and occupy more than a dozen cities as bridgeheads.

When attacking, it is the front line, and the Central Plains is like a courtyard with a gate opened, like you can advance if you enter, and you can retreat if you want to.

Charlotte encountered this situation today, and every city in the land of Qin was not so easy to take.

After a rain of arrows, the Qin army's stone thrower began to exert its strength, throwing rocks downward.

The shield was of little use at this time.

Dexterous dodging is required for throwing stones.

If you can't dodge, you will be stoned to death.

No matter how good the armor is, it's useless.

Qin Bing's stone thrower is very simple, that is, a wooden stake is erected at the head of the city, and a ten-meter-long wooden board is placed on the wooden stake and fixed.

The fixed point is three or seven minutes, the short end rests on the stone, and the long end is jumped and stepped on by the soldiers, and the stone is thrown out by the principle of leverage.

There is a pit more than ten meters deep under the fixed wooden stakes, and the soldiers step on the planks in groups of ten, and under the deep pit are grain bags full of wheat and millet.

The well-trained Qin soldiers were very skilled at this kind of stone stampede.

Each stone thrower is equipped with three groups of 30 people.

Pipeline operations.

If there are many stones, they have been prepared for a long time.

The soldiers in charge of carrying the stones also cooperated tacitly, placing the stones one by one in the wooden frame at the end of the plank.

If there are not enough stones, someone can go to quarry them at any time.

The north gate is built on the mountain, and the quarry is right outside the door.

This rock-throwing attack caused heavy casualties among Charlotte's Acropolis soldiers, with about 1,000 casualties at once.

Thousands of pounds of boulders were thrown from the city gate tower and smashed on the crashing cart, and dozens of soldiers pushing the cart were smashed into pulp.

The crashing car was also smashed.

Sikong Yan's face was pale, he didn't expect the Qin army's defensive measures to be so complete.

I had no choice but to drink the order to continue the attack and step forward.

Another crashing car was pushed over.

Thirty miles away, the children of the Mo family were continuously transporting heavy weapons such as crash trucks, stone throwers, and city crossbows to the city.

Charlotte didn't care, just felt the murderous aura in the battlefield, and the heart strength index continued to improve, and at this time, the heart strength index had already reached 1, and it had reached the value of 1.9.

Raise your eyes and see that the Qin army's defense is stable and orderly.

knows that Li Si and Han Fei are worthy of their real names.

Would you like to give these two boys a little color?

When I looked back, I saw that dozens of city crossbows designed according to my own drawings had been placed one after another.

It is about a hundred meters from the city gate.

Mo Zhai stood beside Charlotte with his hands in his hands.

Charlotte rode a horse, followed by Wei Xiaoyun on horseback.

The three of them were more than 200 meters away from the city gate.

Deadly attacks are generally out of reach, even if the Qin army's strong crossbow can shoot five hundred steps, three steps and one meter, and five hundred steps is about one hundred and fifty meters.

With a wave of the long sword in Sikong Yan's hand, dozens of city crossbows began to wield their might.

Each city crossbow has three great arrows on it.

Sikong Yan's long sword fell, and the giant arrow shot towards the Qin soldiers at the head of the city with a roaring sound of breaking through the air.

Shoot in three ways: upper, middle and lower.

Suddenly, the stones at the head of the city rolled down, and after a burst of crossbow shots, all the bunkers at the head of the city that were blocking the soldiers were destroyed.

Qin Bing suddenly lost his cover, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Just now, a wave of city crossbows was fired, and more than 100 Qin soldiers were killed instantly.

They were carried away by huge arrows, and some were nailed directly to the city wall behind them.

Some were carried by huge arrows and fell to the open ground behind them.

When Li Si and Han Fei saw each other, they ordered the soldiers to repair the bunker battlements.

Sikong Yan saw that the effect was wonderful, and once again raised his sword to order the city crossbow to shoot.

The Qin soldiers at the head of the city did not have time to repair the battlements and bunkers, as long as their bodies were exposed, they became live targets.

The giant arrows of the city crossbow rushed into the crowd, and could kill seven or eight at once.

Many of the stone throwers set up at the head of the city were also destroyed by the giant arrows of the city crossbow, and the Qin soldiers at the head of the city suffered huge losses.

Qin Bing finally became a little flustered.

Han Fei and Li Si ordered the archers to return fire and target the city crossbow.

Suddenly, hundreds of powerful crossbows shot at the huge city crossbow under the city.

This trick made Sikong Yan unexpected, and all of a dozen city crossbows were shot and could not be used.

Sikong Yan was furious and immediately ordered the soldiers to push these city crossbows back for the Mo family disciples to repair again.

At this time, the disciples of the Mo family launched thirty tall stone throwing machines.

Each one is about twenty meters high.

The four thick wooden pillars grip the ground in a trapezoidal support, and the hinged rubble arm at a height of twenty meters is about fifteen meters long.

One can be loaded with boulders like a bucket.

Also according to the principle of the lever, four or six cuts, the long section was pulled by the soldier with a rope.

The stones are only about ten pounds.

Throw it high and far.

Thirty salvos, the power is unmistakable.

Many Qin soldiers in the city were caught off guard and were injured and killed by throwing stones.

When Li Si and Han Fei saw that the enemy actually had long-range siege weapons, they immediately became anxious.

Ordered his lieutenant Wuding to lead 30,000 sharp forces to rush out of the city gate, and he must destroy the enemy's stone thrower.

Both of them are masters of strategy and tactics, and how can they not see the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us.

If these thirty stone throwers were not removed, there would be almost no place for the Qin soldiers to stand on the city.

The city gate opened, and 30,000 Qin Ruishi dressed in black armor rushed wildly to kill with their swords.
