Chapter 116: The Wang Family's Tricks
I believe that anyone who has watched "Hero" will be shocked by the scene where the Qin army pressed the realm and thousands of arrows were fired.
The reason why the United Army and the Terracotta Army fought before, and did not see the Terracotta Army launch crossbow arrows on a large scale, is because the crossbow arrows are consumables, and the previous battles have exhausted the crossbow arrows of the Terracotta Army, plus the Dragon Emperor is overconfident in his Terracotta Army, thinking that even without crossbow arrows, his army is invincible in the world.
But it turns out that the Dragon Emperor was wrong, and it was very wrong, since losing the ability to suppress from a distance, the Terracotta Army has been in a position of being passively beaten, and the combined army is shelling, and it is a continuous pouring of magic, if it weren't for the extremely high immortality of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, his army would have been wiped out many times.
It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Emperor has learned his lesson, and this attack has allowed the terracotta army to bring enough bows and arrows, and he will never repeat the previous mistakes.
I had heard that the Qin army's fighting method was that before the army arrived, the crossbow arrows came first. Originally, Zhou Xiaoning was still a little disappointed and couldn't see this scene, but now that he has experienced it himself, he knows the horror.
I saw that among the 600,000 terracotta soldiers, at least 200,000 were controlling bows and crossbows, of which 100,000 cared about controlling bows and crossbows in a backward position, and the other 100,000 were shooting arrows next to them. In addition, Zhou Xiaoning also saw 5,000 large bows and crossbows that needed to be operated by multiple people, but could fire ten arrows at the same time.
It can be seen that the Dragon Emperor took out all the old guys for this battle, even if he finally won the war, he couldn't form a long-range lineup of such a scale in a short period of time.
Generally speaking, it is physically demanding to operate such a crossbow, and usually after three volleys, the soldier will be exhausted. But the terracotta soldiers don't have this limitation, they don't know what exhaustion is, as long as they have arrows, they can keep shooting.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
More than 100,000 arrows shot out together, and the sound of breaking through the air was really spectacular.
Although those arrows were not aimed at Zhou Xiaoning, he was on top of the parapet and was inevitably affected.
The density of arrows is quite high, which makes people can't help but feel numb in their scalps, and just within one meter of Zhou Xiaoning's surroundings, they have probably been taken care of by hundreds of arrows. However, these arrows could not hurt Zhou Xiaoning, and as soon as the Five Spirit Shield was opened, none of the arrows could get close to Zhou Xiaoning's body.
Based on the consumption of the Five Spirit Shields, Zhou Xiaoning calculated that the arrow power of a small bow and crossbow was equivalent to a full-strength attack at the third-order level, while the power of a large bow and crossbow was slightly stronger, rising to the fourth-order level.
No matter how many attacks of this level come, Zhou Xiaoning doesn't pay attention to them. The liquid metal body of the Annihilator is also basically immune to this move, as long as it is not an unlucky direct hit to the energy core, it can be ignored, anyway, with the characteristics of liquid metal, it will not take long to recover.
But for the Coalition Army, this is undoubtedly a disaster.
In the event of a head-to-head confrontation, the two armies are in a position to intercept most of the arrows with the long-range strength of the combined forces, and at the same time have the spare strength to attack the terracotta army.
But now, the terracotta army suddenly attacked, and the combined army was not prepared at all, and under such a dense rain of arrows, the artillerymen did not even have a chance to break out of the camp, let alone control the artillery. The situation of the law class is also similar, as long as they dare to take the lead, they will definitely be beaten into a sieve in the next second, and there will be no time for them to cast spells.
In addition, it does not mean that it is 100% safe to hide in the camp, after all, the Morningstar base has been reduced to ruins, and it is impossible to completely repair it in just a few days. There were very few houses that could be used for human habitation, and most of the soldiers lived in simple wooden houses or even marching tents.
At most, the wooden houses and marching tents can block the wind and rain, and the defense capacity is almost zero, how can they stop the rain of arrows in the sky?
For a while, the screams in the Morning Star Base continued to sound, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Before settling in the Morning Star Base, Lin Xuebing specially arranged the troops of the Wang family and the Two Realms City in two corners that were far apart in order to let the people of the Wang family and the Two Realms City meet as little as possible and avoid further incidents. I'm afraid Lin Xuebing never dreamed that it was precisely because of his arrangement that the Wang family and the Two Realms City became the two forces with the least losses in this attack.
"No, it can't go on like this. All of them, fire! ”
Seeing that the second wave of arrows came up again, Zhou Xiaoning no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered all the annihilators to fire, and the target of the attack was those arrows, striving to destroy them in mid-air and buy time for the mobilization of the army.
Zhou Xiaoning himself was not idle, only to see him summon a gust of wind to hover above the Morning Star Base, so that even if an arrow broke through the Annihilator's interception, this gust of wind would blow it away and fall outside the Morning Star Base.
It's just that maintaining such a wide range of strong winds, even Zhou Xiaoning is a little struggling, and he only hopes that the speed of the combined army's assembly can be faster, after all, the Dragon Emperor has not yet appeared, if he consumes too much source power at this time, if the Dragon Emperor makes a move, he may not be the opponent of the Dragon Emperor.
Fortunately, Lin Xuebing did not disappoint Zhou Xiaoning, but in three minutes, he organized 10,000 legal troops, still 40,000 artillery. With their joining, the ranged strength in the Morningstar base is finally on par with the terracotta army.
Energy beams, cannonballs, and spells rained down on the sky, and the spectacle was beyond words to describe. The distance of hundreds of meters between the Morning Star base and the Terracotta Army became a battlefield of double defense wrestling, and it was stalemate for a while.
However, as more and more long-range troops on the side of the Combine Army enter the battle, the disadvantage of the Terracotta Army is becoming more and more obvious, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be the turn of the Combine Army to counter the abuse of the Terracotta Army.
The Dragon Emperor would not fail to see this, otherwise he would not be able to dominate the world, but he has not made any moves until this moment, which really makes people have to care.
"Boom!"
"What a sound!"
A loud noise came from the ground to interrupt Zhou Xiaoning's thinking, he immediately opened his divine sense to check, and found that there was a big hole in the center of the Morning Star Base, coincidentally, it happened to be the artillery position, and now all the artillery fell into the hole, no matter how much it will be broken, it will take a lot of time just to pull those artillery guns back up, and they can't get involved in this battle.
"Damn, the Dragon Emperor's move is really ruthless."
Zhou Xiaoning gritted his teeth and hammered the guardrail, he sensed the energy fluctuations of the power of the earth from that hole, and he was able to open a hole in the Morning Star Base from a distance, except for the Dragon Emperor, Zhou Xiaoning really couldn't think of anyone else who could do it.
The artillery of the long-range troops of the combined army is the main force, and now the artillery is dumb, and the French troops and archers alone are not the opponent of the crossbow of the terracotta army.
"In that case, I can only give it a go."
Having made up his mind, Zhou Xiaoning immediately divided the three avatars and asked them to help maintain the wind, while he himself went to Lin Xuebing, after all, he was the commander-in-chief of the United Army, and he still needed to give orders to mobilize the army.
Zhou Xiaoning appeared in the headquarters with a teleportation, although the generals except the Wang family were all gathered here to discuss the battle strategy, but Zhou Xiaoning was not in the mood to be polite to them, and went straight to the point: "Commander Lin, now that the Terracotta Army is pressing, and the artillery troops cannot enter the battle, the only way to break the siege now is to go out of the city to meet the battle, and it will be really too late to drag it on." ”
What Zhou Xiaoning said, Lin Xuebing didn't know, but don't look at him being elected as the commander-in-chief, but who in the various armies of the United Army is not selfish. As soon as there is a tailwind, these guys will rush to it, for fear that others will rob them of the credit, if they are evenly matched, they will also fight hard, after all, if they can't stop the terracotta army, the forces behind them will also suffer.
However, once they encounter the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, they will become cowering one by one, and they don't want to be the first bird and lose their strength in vain.
Now the terracotta army is blocked outside the door, and whoever rushes out first will definitely be taken care of, and if you want to rush out, you must fill it with human lives. The previous rain of arrows had already caused heavy losses to the armies, and they could not afford to lose more.
"I remember that it seems to be the Two Realms City that is in charge of guarding tonight, and now that there is such a big basket, shouldn't the Two Realms City be in charge?"
Two young men walked in one after the other, and it was the one behind who spoke.
"That's right, that's right, it's the Two Realms City that is in charge."
"That's right, the place where the army of the Two Realms City is stationed is relatively remote, and the rain of arrows has not affected it at all, so there is no loss at all. Moreover, the Four Elephant Legion and the Thunderblade Elite Cavalry are not strong, and they can just open the way for us. ”
"Yes, there are no flying battleships in the Two Realms City, go out, lay down that heavenly thunder array, and kill those damn clods of earth!"
Those army generals have a lot of discussions, but they have only one purpose, that is, to push out the army of the Two Realms City and use them as cannon fodder.
"This ......"
Lin Xuebing looked at Zhou Xiaoning in embarrassment, but he knew that when the terracotta army was five miles away, the annihilator in charge of vigilance sounded the alarm. It's just that the calm of the past few days has made all the soldiers carry a little bit and fail to prepare for the battle in the first place, which has caused the current predicament. So strictly speaking, this black cauldron should not be carried by the two realms city.
But it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, even if Lin Xuebing helps Zhou Xiaoning speak now, those generals may not listen.
"Wang Zhi, I remember you!"
Zhou Xiaoning glanced coldly at the person who spoke just now, it was Wang Zhi.
Zhou Xiaoning knew that this time he couldn't refuse no matter what, otherwise he would inevitably attract the hostility of these generals. These generals have their own forces behind them, and offending them is equivalent to offending those forces, although the strength of the two realms is strong, it is impossible to be the enemy of so many forces at the same time.
Wang Zhi's move can not be described as ruthless, and he directly pushed the Two Realms City to the cusp, neither advancing nor retreating.
