The bowstring trembled slightly, and the long arrow flew out, silent and without a trace. Qin Feng and Mo Bing, who were standing beside Yuan Yun, only saw Yuan Yun stretching his bow and arrows, and his fingers were slightly loosened. The arrows are gone. And at this moment, there was a scream from downstairs in the city.

Everyone looked carefully, only to find that the arrow that disappeared just now had been shot deep into Xie Laoer's back. The entire long arrow pierced through the body, leaving only a short wing on the outside.

Xie Laoer's eyes widened, and he looked helplessly at Xie Yongliang in front of him, blood bubbles kept gushing out of his mouth, and he covered his chest with his hands in despair, and slowly fell down. After a few convulsions, the robber, who had just scolded others for not knowing whether he was alive or dead, kicked his legs and died under the city.

Yuan Yun was bored guessing that Xie Lao Er must have been thinking about two things before he died. First, how could he be shot by a bow and arrow when he was three hundred steps away from the city wall. Second, he must be scolding Xie Yongliang for being a bastard. Didn't you say that you wouldn't cut it? Then how could I be pierced by an arrow?

Xie Yongliang was also stunned, he never expected that someone in the city could shoot a long arrow to a distance of three hundred steps. He and Xie Lao Er and his wife are brothers, and the relationship is very good, and when he saw Xie Lao Er being killed by an arrow, his eyes immediately rushed upwards with blood.

"Siege"

Xie Yongliang viciously ordered the robbers beside him.

In the first wave, about 100 robbers swung all kinds of weapons towards Qinjia Village.

"It's finally begun" Qin Feng, Yuan Yun, Mo Bing, the sixty recruits of the Qin Family Army on the city wall, and the hundreds of Qinjia Village villagers behind them all took a deep breath. The battle of life and death has finally arrived.

Xie Yongliang's army of bandits was about a thousand steps away from the city gate of Qinjia Village. Between the two sides is a flat meadow that is unobstructed. This bandit leader has some skills, although Xie Laoer's death made him angry, but he did not lose his mind. Yuan Yun's arrow had already made him wary, and he wanted to see what preparations Qinjia Village had. So send only a hundred minions to tempt first.

The robbers advanced quickly on the flat grass. After a dozen breaths, he advanced two hundred steps.

"Launch"

Mo Bing saw that this wave of robbers had come within the range of the catapult, and immediately ordered loudly.

The villagers inside the city walls pulled the trigger of the catapult hard. Five catapults opened fire at the same time, and dozens of stones the size of sea bowls flew out of the city whizzing out and crashing forward.

The catapults and ballistae in Blackstone Pass are used to deal with heavyweight troops such as barbarian siege vehicles and ice beasts, so the stones and crossbow arrows thrown are usually very huge. And now it is used to deal with bandits who have no heavy weapons and no heavy armor, and they do not need such great lethality. Qin Feng specially asked the villagers to collect these stones the size of a sea bowl. I want to increase the damage range as much as possible and deal with bandits who don't have heavy armor, such a stone is enough to kill.

The screams continued to sound, and after the first round of flying stones, more than a dozen robbers fell to the grass.

"Reloading"

Mo Bing continued to give orders.

At the same time, Xie Yongliang on the opposite side was also shouting loudly.

"Rush! Rush over. Don't give them time to reload. Rushing into the range of five hundred paces their catapults was useless. ”

Xie Yongliang came up with the best way to deal with it.

Catapults have a range of between 500 and 800 paces and are slow to reload. If you can get out of this range in the shortest possible time, the catapult will become an ornament.

The robbers spread their legs and lunged forward.

"Ahh Ahh

The screams rang out again.

Several of the robbers who rushed to the front fell on the grass with their feet clutched, wailing and rolling.

Sharp thistles have pierced the surface of their feet.

"There's thistle on the ground, be careful. ”

The small leader of this wave of attacking bandits saw the sharp thistle terrestris on the ground and reminded everyone loudly.

All the robbers slowed down and cautiously pushed forward.

By this time, the catapults in the city had been reloaded. The second round of flying stones smashed again.

The robbers were very embarrassed, keeping an eye out for thistles under their feet and dodging the flying rocks in the sky. For a while, I was in a hurry and panicked.

Soon seven or eight more people were hit by flying rocks and fell to the ground.

"Beat the drums, tell them to stop caring about the thistles on the ground, as long as they rush to within five hundred paces, they will be safe. Xie Yongliang ordered with a calm face. He already felt that the Qinjia Village he was facing today was not as vulnerable as he imagined.

The little boss was more clever, beckoning everyone to step on the road taken by the robbers in front of them and line up in a straight line. This greatly reduces the chance of stepping on thistle.

Soon the robbers lined up in three or four straight lines and continued to advance rapidly. The people in front stepped on the thistle and fell, and the team behind continued to rush forward along the road. Everyone knows that if you don't run into the 500-meter range as soon as possible, the catapult will mercilessly smash itself into a pulp.

Finally, after the third round of flying stones landed, all the robbers rushed within five hundred paces. Nearly thirty bodies were left in the grass behind them.

Xie Yongliang looked coldly at the battle ahead, he sent this hundred vanguard soldiers just to see what means Qinjia Village had. The loss of thirty men was within his expectations.

"Beat the drums, siege the city," Xie Yongliang ordered loudly.

The drums beat suddenly.

The robbers were embarrassed by the flying stones just now, but now they have entered the safe range, and their hearts are on fire. In Qinjia Village, they have been rampant for several years, and they have never suffered such a loss. Everyone roared and rushed to the wall.

The limited number of thistles was arranged within the killing range of the catapult, and the robbers did not need to pay attention to their feet, and the advance speed was very fast, and after a dozen breaths, they rushed to a distance of about three hundred paces.

"Launch"

Mo Bing shouted an order to the city again.

The ballista, which had been waiting for a long time, finally fired. Ten crossbow arrows the thickness of a child's arm shot lightning at the roaring bandits.

Ballistas are extremely powerful, and they are generally used to deal with large beasts such as ice elephants in Blackstone Pass. Due to the lack of materials, the power of these ballistas made by Mo Bing is far inferior to the giant ballistas in Heishi Pass. But it is enough to deal with these robbers in front of you.

The robbers were struggling forward, not expecting that there were deadly weapons waiting for them at this distance. Seven or eight more fell under the crossbow arrows amid the screams. Two of them were even nailed to the grass by the same arrow.

"Spread out, everyone spread out. The little leader beckoned everyone to spread out the formation as much as possible, so as not to be pierced by the ballista.

There were about sixty robbers left, scattered in all directions and continued to move on. By this time, these guys had already been stimulated to the ferocity. A group of farmers who used to bully as much as they wanted actually beat themselves up so embarrassed that the robbers were gritting their teeth and cursing incessantly. Holding back his strength, he wanted to rush into the village and kill. They felt that these villagers in front of them were just relying on catapults and crossbow arrows to resist desperately, and as long as they rushed to the city and fought them hand-to-hand, they would definitely be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. These farmers could never be their opponents.

Ballista has a weakness, although it is very powerful, it is not very accurate. After the robbers scattered in all directions, and with the preparation again, the threat was suddenly much smaller. The next few rounds of salvos brought down only four or five people.

The robbers rushed forward desperately with their crossbow arrows, getting closer and closer.

Three hundred steps...

Two hundred and fifty steps...

Two hundred steps...

One hundred and fifty steps...

"Draw the bow, prepare!"

Yuan Yun raised his right hand high and gave an order to the soldiers beside him.

The sixty recruits of the Qin family army all bowed like a full moon, and the arrows were aimed at the bandits under the city.

One hundred and forty steps...

Already within archer range. The recruits waited for Yuan Yun's order.

Yuan Yun didn't make any moves.

One hundred and thirty steps....

As we got closer, the recruits' palms began to sweat.

One hundred and twenty steps....

One hundred and ten steps....

Everyone held their breath, beads of sweat on their foreheads sliding down their faces and dripping into their eyes. No one dared to wipe it, and they were all quietly waiting for Yuan Yun's order.

Yuan Yun still didn't move.

One hundred steps....

The shouts were so deafening that the recruits on the walls could see even the fierce glint in the robbers' eyes. Everyone's heart is in their throats.

Finally, Yuan Yun's raised right hand slammed down.

"Shoot the Arrow"

With this roar, the sixty recruits on the ramparts let go of their fingers gripping the arrows. Sixty sharp arrows shot at the robbers below the city like lightning.

The effective range of the Qin family's longbow was one hundred and forty steps, and the lethality was the strongest at about one hundred steps. Yuan Yun shot the deadliest round of arrows at the most opportune time. This round of volleys was fast and urgent, and the robbers under the city tower were instantly put down by a dozen or so people. Moreover, according to Yuan Yun's requirements, the recruits did not pause at all after the first round of salvo shots, followed by the second round and the third round of salvos.
