Chapter 374 Heavy losses
Wang Chengen couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, thinking to himself that what you said was easy, each of these thunder cannons was worth 100,000 gold, which was equivalent to a human Yuan-level divine armor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's powerful, but it's too expensive. With Great Qin's national strength, he can't afford it either. And it is too cumbersome, and its practicality is far inferior to that of a human-level divine armor, and its combat power is powerful and flexible.
"Seven years ago, the Shaofu Tiangong Institute and the Inner Workshop only tried to make a total of 120 Thunder God Cannons. Previously, on the orders of Lord Guogong, forty statues were sent to Qingyang and Jiepai County. Now there are only ten left, and it will be ten days before they arrive. β
Ying Chong couldn't help sighing, he knew that this was an extravagant hope. After thinking for a moment, Ying Chong gave another order to Li Gang and the county guard Gao Fei: "I remember that there are still a total of 100,000 square meters of obsidian stored in the city? This matter is in charge of the deputy envoy Li Jiedu, with the assistance of Gao Junshou, and it is best to complete it within one day. All the mystical cultivators in the city are at your disposal. β
After saying this, Ying Chong passed three more talismans to Yu Yunxian and Yun Zhenzi Li Xiaoxian. At this time, in the city of Suzhou, under the threat of the opponent's arrow rain all the time, it was not easy to build a barricade. If you want to complete it in one day, you can only rely on the mana of Xuan Xiu.
Li Gang didn't say anything, and left directly. Wang Chengen looked at Ying Chong with some shock: "Isn't this city wall undefended?"
Ying Chong did not answer, did not say a word. He thought that this city wall could be defended, but what he was worried about was what the other party would do after repelling the Huns today.
Just as the two were talking, the more than 1,000 licensed cars in the distance had reached a distance of four miles. Along the way, more than 100 vehicles were shattered, and nearly 2,000 were killed or injured.
But at this moment, those Thor cannons had already let go of the license cars in front of them and stopped fighting, and instead aimed their muzzles at the trebuchets that were advancing further behind. It's still a cannon and a car, and it's accurate. There were only more than 600 trebuchets on the opposite side, and in less than half a moment, more than 60 had been destroyed.
Those heavenly positions on the other side have long been unable to sit still. Although these 'Thor Cannons' are hidden in a solid tower made of Black Yaoshi, they can still be attacked from the cannon window. And there were no less than a hundred sharpshooters in the Hun army!
It's just that whenever the arrow hits, there are always runes flashing at the window, and the invisible force barrier blocks these arrows with a maximum strength of 10,000 oxen, or even tens of thousands of bulls, all of them out!
Wang Chengen was not worried when he saw this, and Ying Chong concentrated most of the forces in the city protection array here. Although this large array can't protect the airspace of the entire Suzhou City, it is more than enough to cover these dozens of small cannon windows!
Then, when those brand cars reached the distance of two miles, a trace of joy finally appeared on Yingchong's face. At this time, a southerly wind blew and rushed towards the north. In just over 20 breaths, it has turned from weak to strong, and it can vaguely compete with the opposite side.
It can be seen that under the hedge of the wind, countless cyclones in the air are formed. The north wind is still there, but it can no longer be as raging as before,
"Tell the armies, go to the cityβ"
With Ying Chong's order, behind the city wall. In the caves where the soldiers are hidden, countless soldiers rush out. The movements were orderly, first pushing the spare large shields and ballistae trebuchets and so on up the city wall, arranging various armor, and then arranging all kinds of bows and arrows.
At this time, there was no need to rush to command, and all the departments on the city wall heard roaring and roaring. In an instant, tens of thousands of arrows from various departments flew into the air at the same time, and they all chose to shoot from the back. After being lifted up for a hundred feet, they fell into the air one after another.
Hundreds of giant crossbows on the wall also fired a salvo at the same time, instantly smashing hundreds of brand cars at the same time. It's just that there aren't many casualties, even the only twenty 10,000-cow crossbows can't compare to the power of the Thor cannon. The penetration may be better, but the lethality is far inferior. Even after using the Burst Arrow, it's still not as good.
But even so, after this salvo, the slave troops under the city were killed and wounded at least 2,000!
And Ying Chong's gaze was not under the city from beginning to end. He was looking at the Huns more than ten miles away. By the time the south wind blew, the range of these Hun knights had been greatly reduced.
However, the 350,000 iron horsemen continued to travel for several miles in just half a moment. Still using the method of shooting, tens of thousands of arrows rose into the air, covering the city wall of Suzhou again. And Ying Chong's command is also in color, when the second salvo is fired, the same tens of thousands of arrows are scattered ten miles away.
After a while, when the arrows on both sides fell, there was an instantaneous muffled and angry howl on the wall of Suzhou. Even with the protection of the battlements and shields, there were still more than 240 dead and wounded.
Especially on the opposite side, there are nearly 100 celestial divine shooters. These people can't help those thirty Thor cannons. But at this time, it is very handy to deal with those shields.
And all the dead and wounded had their own people who helped the defenders of the city, and carried them down the wall. Ying Chong didn't pay attention to it, still staring ten miles away.
There were not many casualties on the opposite side of the Hun iron cavalry, all of them were shooting at high speed, even if it was covered by 70,000 arrows in Suzhou City, it was extremely difficult to hit, and I could only see that in the cavalry array, about 1,000 people fell off their horses.
Wang Chengen couldn't help but worry when he saw it in his eyes. This time, the two sides fired at each other, and although the casualties were at the level of 1 to 5, it seemed to be a good deal. But the account is not calculated like this, the soldiers in Suzhou City, even the top elite, can fire the bow thirty times in ten days, it is already very remarkable. Twenty times as an ordinary soldier has reached the limit.
It can shoot seven rounds of the Huns on the opposite side, and at least one hundred and fifty rounds can be shot with a rain of arrows of this level.
"This Huns' cavalry is worthy of its name. Lord Guogong, it's not a way to go on like this-"
"The prince is at ease. β
Ying Chong didn't wait for this one to finish speaking, and pointed down: "Such casualties, they can't hold on! Don't worry." β
Wang Chengen looked down the city, only to find that those brand cars had been damaged by hundreds of heavy crossbows.
At this time, those slave armies were still a mile away from the moat. And the interior of those brand cars is mostly filled with dirt, which is extremely clumsy.
The purpose of the Huns, without asking, was to fill the moat. But if it goes on like this, even if these slave soldiers die, they may not be able to do it.
The previous 100,000 slave army of the Xiongnu was only a little more than 80,000 at this time. If you look at the trebuchets in the distance, they have been damaged by more than 200 people!
In an instant, Wang Chengen understood that Ying Chong's purpose was to kill and injure these slave soldiers in large numbers with heavy crossbows. If the slaveless army attacked the city, why did they need to run out of the Tibetan soldier cave and shoot at the Hun iron cavalry on the opposite side?
It seems that he is indeed overly concerned, and the art of war of this prince is really good-
Sure enough, after the five rounds of salvo, the number of broken cars under the city increased by more than 300. And as the original 2,000 brand cars shrank to less than 1,000 now, more and more slave soldiers and soldiers were exposed to the feather arrows of the Suzhou army, and the casualties suddenly increased dramatically.
When the casualties of the Nanu army exceeded 30,000, the sound of gold was finally heard in the Hun iron cavalry ten miles away on the opposite side. The remaining slave soldiers and soldiers, as if they had been amnestied, ignored those license cars one after another, turned around and fled and retreated.
ps: I don't have a monthly pass today, which is a morale blow. The reclamation is still in Kavin, and the second watch will be around eight o'clock, but if there are 150 monthly passes by six o'clock tomorrow, the reclamation will also climb out of the third watch! Now 2262 is the word as proof. (To be continued.) )
