Chapter 232: City Defense Crossbow Array
"Put!"
At the north of the city, all the crossbowmen fired their arrows again.
This is the second wave of arrows.
As before, covering the Iron Cavalry of the Howling Moon Dynasty, it still took the lives of nearly 10,000 Iron Cavalry of the Roaring Moon Dynasty.
But this didn't have much impact on the 300,000 Xiaoyue Dynasty Iron Horsemen who charged.
"Qi Jiguang, it's up to you next!"
Zhou Chuan stood on the wall of the north pass of the city, looking at the infantry led by Qi Jiguang under the city, his face was solemn.
Now he can no longer let his soldiers release arrows, because at this point in time, if he continues to release arrows, he may accidentally injure Qi Jiguang and his infantry.
The support on the city wall is basically broken, and the rest depends on Qi Jiguang's own ability.
Qi Jiguang, who led 30,000 infantry to stand in front of the north gate, looked at the 300,000 iron cavalry who rushed over, and said in a deep voice: "City defense crossbow array, release!"
Woohoo.
The city defense crossbow array, which had been prepared long ago, was immediately released, and huge crossbow arrows were shot out one after another.
Puff puff.
Countless Iron Horsemen of the Howling Moon Dynasty fell to the ground, the corpses of the war horses, their corpses, made the Howling Moon Dynasty who charged behind them scramble for a while, especially those sharp crossbow arrows were some inserted into the ground, blocking the direction of many of the Howling Moon Dynasty.
For a while, the military formation of the Xiaoyue Dynasty actually began to change somewhat.
"Steady, steady, steady, steady. ”
The generals of the Howling Moon Dynasty shouted one after another.
He knew very well that the general of the tens of thousands of infantry in front of him was Qi Jiguang, the general of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and his strength was very strong.
Fortunately, the Iron Cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty was very obedient and did not disappoint this general, and soon, the military formation was gathered together again, and it seemed very powerful.
When Qi Jiguang saw it, his face did not change at all, and he didn't expect a wave of city defense crossbow salvos to be able to take down these Xiaoyue Dynasty iron horses.
"Bow and crossbow array!"
With a wave of Qi Jiguang's hand, the city defense crossbow array immediately retreated and began to reinstall the crossbow arrows.
The crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time stepped forward in unison.
The bows and crossbows in their hands are all standard strong crossbows, which are much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows.
"Put!"
Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the rain of arrows poured down.
The front of the Iron Cavalry of the Howling Moon Dynasty was completely shrouded in it.
Suddenly, countless Iron Horsemen of the Howling Moon Dynasty fell to the ground and lost their lives.
"Ride and shoot, ride and shoot!"
The general of the Xiaoyue Dynasty finally realized that something was wrong and roared loudly.
All the Howling Moon Dynasty heard this and hurriedly mounted and shot.
The cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty was very powerful, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the former army were mounted and shot, enveloping all the 30,000 infantry led by Qi Jiguang.
"Raise your shield!"
Qi Jiguang shouted loudly.
All the soldiers raised their shields in unison, but some of the soldiers in the rear were too slow, and nearly a thousand people died.
Qi Jiguang felt it, and sighed lightly in his heart, although these Praetorian Guards were former veterans and had undergone their own training, compared with the trapped camp, the gap was still too big.
It is not possible to enforce the order and prohibit.
If all of these 30,000 people were trapped, they would be able to do it easily.
"Trapped!"
"Sharp Knife Formation!"
"Drink!"
The soldiers in the camp of less than a thousand people shouted loudly, and immediately formed a small formation, standing in front of the large army, behind Qi Jiguang.
Sharp knife array, with Qi Jiguang as the tip of the knife.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The general of the Xiaoyue Dynasty saw that his first wave of cavalry was useful, and immediately started the second wave of cavalry, but the army on Qi Jiguang's side was already prepared, and this time there was not much loss, after all, everyone was holding a shield, and ordinary bows and arrows were not so lethal as city defense crossbows.
In the Iron Cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty, there is no city defense crossbow at all.
"Put!"
After the second wave of cavalry, the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty was less than a hundred meters away from the generals under Qi Jiguang's command.
Qi Jiguang ordered, and the city defense crossbow array, which had just reloaded the crossbow arrows, shot sharp crossbow arrows again.
However, this time, the crossbow bolts did not kill the enemy as much as before.
This time, Qi Jiguang let the city defense crossbow shoot more to the ground, his purpose was to construct a horse rejection fence composed of city defense crossbow arrows, so that the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty could not rush over.
Because the crossbow arrows of the city defense are very long, much higher than the general horse rejection fence, and the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty can only look for death if they want to cross the horse rejection fence.
Woohoo.
The crossbow arrows of the city defense were shot, and they were forced to form a very tall horse fence about ten meters in front of the military formation.
And the strong force shoots the crossbow arrows into the ground very deeply, much more powerful than ordinary horse rejection fences.
Zhou Chuan, who was on the wall of Chengbei Pass, saw it, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and he muttered: "Qi Jiguang's move is really strong!"
He didn't expect that the city defense crossbow could still be used like this.
The horse rejection fence composed of city defense crossbow arrows is different from the ordinary horse rejection fence, there is no connection point between each one, even if the Xiaoyue Dynasty wants to fly, it is impossible.
In this way, it is basically impossible for the Iron Cavalry of the Howling Moon Dynasty to rush over with the momentum of the Iron Cavalry.
This trick made Zhou Chuan truly realize that the person who can leave a reputation in history will definitely not be an ordinary person.
No wonder many people in the previous life said that if Qi Jiguang followed a good lord, he would be able to become a famous general no less than Zhang Liao.
Today's Qi Jiguang did not disappoint him.
"Bastard!"
Compared with Zhou Chuan's happiness, the general of the Xiaoyue Dynasty couldn't wait to directly break Qi Jiguang into pieces at this time.
Just now he still had a way, leading the army to rush over, as long as it passed the arrow array, the so-called 30,000 infantry was completely a decoration, a straw mark for his own slaughter.
But now, the horse barn in front of me, which was constructed of crossbow arrows from the city defense, completely covered the front, and a long distance was the damn crossbow arrow bar.
He can't rush through the iron cavalry under his command, even if he pays a heavy price.
Because Qi Jiguang can completely let his soldiers shoot arrows constantly, coupled with the soldiers above the Chengbei Pass, he can completely block himself here.
He now understands it thoroughly, no wonder in the territory of the Wuzhou Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, who is not the most courageous, can become a general of Qi.
This person's ability is not simple.
At most, ordinary people use the city defense crossbow to shoot crossbow arrows and kill the enemy, how can there be a way to use crossbow arrows to form a horse rejection fence and block all their hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen here.
"No wonder, no wonder the city defense crossbow array arranged by Qi Jiguang this time is different from the ordinary city defense crossbow array. The general of the Xiaoyue Dynasty turned pale.
Qi Jiguang's urban defense crossbow array arranged this time was in a very high position, coupled with the tall bracket of the city defense crossbow, it was able to use crossbow arrows to form a horse rejection fence.
He had never seen such a skill!
This kind of general from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, could it be that Zhou Chuan, the son of heaven, really has such a great ability?
For the first time!
For the first time, the general of the Howling Moon Dynasty suspected that he might be defeated this time.
