Volume 1 Section 85 The Beginning of the Fierce Battle (1)
The rhythmic percussion finally began to sound, Jiang Feng and Qin Zaidao's faces became serious, and a life-and-death battle began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Like a tumbling tide, the two attack phalanxes of ant thieves advanced in parallel, and Huang Pupu's soldiers slowly moved forward surrounded by various equipment vehicles, giving Jiang Feng standing on the wall a huge visual impact.
This is war, the real ancient war, and everything that was seen on television in the past was far less clear and intuitive than it is now, except that this enjoyment may have to be exchanged for life.
When Jiang Feng retreated, Qin Zaidao's attention was focused on the battle situation in front of him, and he had forgotten everything around him, just staring at the ant thieves surging under the city wall.
Three hundred steps! As soon as the ant thieves entered the attack range of the crossbow, the speed suddenly increased, and it was obvious that there were veterans who had experienced siege warfare among the ant thieves, and three hundred steps was exactly the range of the crossbow.
"Crossbow, let's go!" Qin Zaidao's eyebrows suddenly lifted, and he shouted angrily.
The three creaking crossbows suddenly let out a violent rebound and muffled sound, "Bang!"
Thirty-seven and twenty-one crossbow bolts of different specifications burst out like a hurricane, and the ferocious rebound force made the entire heavy crossbow bed tremble slightly.
The black-pressed ant soldier phalanx spread rapidly as the speed increased, and the phrase dense as ants was really the best description of the situation in front of him.
Twenty-one bolts pierced the colony almost in the blink of an eye, and three tiny gaps appeared in the antthief's irregular charge, barely noticeable, but disappeared in an instant, as if they had never been.
Jiang Feng carefully observed that he came to the first war in this era of cold weapon warfare, and he handed over the battlefield command to a veteran general like Qin Zaidao with great interest, but he lacked actual combat experience, and now he is more suitable as a spectator to be familiar with and understand everything in this kind of war.
The crossbow operators moved fairly quickly, but perhaps it was the first time they had faced such a vicious battle, and the operators were still a little flustered.
The gap between the three teams of operators can be clearly seen in the second wave of attacks of the three crossbows, the one on the right is more than a step above the other two teams in terms of skill and tacit understanding, and when the other two crossbows have just had time to launch a second wave of attacks, the third wave of crossbows on the right has also been installed.
The powerful bolts didn't stop the ant-soldiers from rolling in, though each burst sent dozens of soldiers to the ground screaming.
Their poor wooden shield couldn't stop this most powerful mechanical weapon of this era, and the crossbow bolts could even easily break through the shield and nail them to the ground, if it weren't for the small number, and the degree of loading and firing was too complicated, and it was easy to destroy, Jiang Feng believed that this thing could cause more trouble to the other party.
Blood soaked into the brown dirt like a stream, mixed with corpses scattered all over the ground, but it did not stop the ant thieves from moving forward, like dropping a few stones in the raging tide, and the screaming and roaring ant soldiers swooped down on the sheep and horse wall through their teeth.
"Crossbowman, prepare! Archer prepare!" Qin Zaidao had already relieved himself from the initial tension and depression, and quietly gave instructions to the bannerman beside him.
Like a puppy that had been whipped violently, the standard-bearer jumped to his feet and ran along the city walls, waving his little flag.
The strong crossbowmen who had been standing along the inner edge of the city wall inhaled their crossbows one after another, took two steps forward and half-knelt and raised, and their eyes could clearly aim their crossbow arrows at each target through the Wangshan Mountain.
In fact, in the face of such a swarm of ant soldiers, there is no need to aim at all, only the fastest speed of fire and loading, and every crossbow will not miss, how to use this wave of sharp strike surfaces to suppress the most ferocious enemy attack front is what the commander needs to consider.
The archers lined up in three rows also pulled away one after another, drawing their bows and preparing to shoot, these are all selected from the Gushi army, and the strength is six jun, and the range can easily reach two hundred and forty meters.
Jiang Feng sighed again.
Born out of the swagger, the Divine Arm Crossbow is undoubtedly the most powerful sniper weapon, and the operation of the soldiers does not require deliberate training, and it is extremely powerful.
It's just that this thing is the same as the crossbow, the production process is demanding, the price is expensive, the shooting time is troublesome, and it is quite easy to damage, it is really a costly and troublesome job, but its role is indeed not to be underestimated.
Jiang Feng has been pondering whether this thing can be decomposed and made like a crossbow to form an assembly line production, which can not only greatly improve the production efficiency, but also greatly improve the production level.
It's just that all of this needs to be built on the basis of a complete victory in this war, and Jiang Feng can only pack up his ambitions and wait for the end of this war.
"Sixty divine arm crossbows were like a dense accumulation of fire, and immediately weaved a net that was not wide but extremely vicious, and Guo Lao's scar, who had just run, was like a sudden head-on punch, hitting the front end of the morale high.
Like a sickle cutting wheat, the swept crossbow bolts flew by, lightly penetrating the thin armor and clothes of the ant soldiers, and the bloodthirsty arrows swirled into the blood-boiling bodies of the soldiers, greedily sucking the blood juice.
Most of the soldiers didn't even have time to scream, and occasionally the soldiers who missed the point covered their wounds in pain and struggled and rolled on the ground, hoping that someone would give them a good time.
The ant soldiers who swarmed up immediately overwhelmed them, and they needed to completely destroy the wooden fence, and then they had to throw the dirt bags on their shoulders into the ditch to complete the task.
But the rain of arrows fell like locusts, and the archers of the Gushi Army began to exert their might.
The excessively dense formation of the ant army provided the best target for the archers of the Gushi Army, and after determining the shooting range a little, the flowing shooting process in the hands of the archers made Jiang Feng, who was watching from the sidelines, also amazed.
The more than 200 selected archers undoubtedly represent the highest level of the archers of the Gushi Army, from drawing the bow and shooting the arrow to drawing the arrow and re-drawing the bow, every movement is so skillful and rhythmic, Jiang Feng sighed and admired.
The pointed wooden donkey, which had been hiding in the pile of ant thieves, also began to accelerate under the impetus of the soldiers, and soon formed multiple attack fronts, and the soldiers hiding in and behind the pointed wooden donkey used the leather screen cards raised high to resist the rain of arrows and crossbow arrows from the city wall, and approached the wooden fence as fast as possible.
