Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ballista Shows Its Might

Early in the morning of the second day, the horn sounded in the emperor's Tibetan army,

"Hurry up, hurry, keep up, speed up!" The shouts of the horse-faced captain and the bull-headed colonel sounded everywhere, and all the soldiers were dressed up and quickly gathered on the school grounds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all the imperial and Tibetan troops were assembled, Mo Xuan gave an order, and the whole army marched towards Fengluo City.

On the wall of Fengluo City, the soldiers were standing lazily against the wall, yawning and chatting.

"I'll tell you, I've been nervous to death for the past few days," said a chubby soldier patting his chest.

"Oh, what's wrong, Auntie is here?hahaha~~" The chubby soldier suddenly stretched out a head behind him, and said jokingly, causing the surrounding soldiers to laugh too.

The fat soldier's face was full of black lines, slapped the head behind him, and said in a heavy tone: "It's not those who fight, you say, you can fight if you fight, why do you have nothing to do in the middle, make me tremble." ”

At this time, the soldier who was joking just now also turned pale with the words of the slightly chubby soldier, and comforted: "Alas~ Don't think about it, it's okay, didn't an army of 20,000 pass by us some time ago? It's not nothing." ”

The chubby soldier suddenly looked left and right cautiously, and asked in a low voice: "Eh~ You said, the soldiers came from mysteriously last time, why did our county commander see them scared to death? Just open the city gate and let them pass?"

At this time, the surrounding soldiers looked at the chubby soldiers, their eyes were like looking at idiots, and the chubby soldiers scratched their heads in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I'm asking?"

"Hehe~" At this time, an elderly soldier suddenly said: "Of course it's not right, don't you know that our princes, the King of the Wheel, are at war with the King of Yama?

"Oh~~ So that's it!" The chubby soldier suddenly realized, and then asked: "What did the army do last time? It seems that there are only 20,000 people, right? Do you just rely on 20,000 people to fight the king of Yama? I heard that there are more than 40,000 soldiers guarding over there!"

Speaking of this, no one around the soldiers could answer, and finally the older soldier said: "Who knows what these big armies are doing, we as small soldiers, I just need to should this county town, why bother so much! ”

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers were shocked, and they looked at the older soldiers with some surprise and asked, "Lao Liu, don't scare me, I am such a small county, how can the army of the King of Yama come to fight us?"

The soldier known as Lao Liu did not speak, but shook his head with some concern, ready to go down and drink saliva.

"Lao Liu~" The slightly chubby soldier suddenly shouted Lao Liu with a trembling voice, and asked, "The army of the King of Yama over there, is the one who leads the team surnamed Mo?"

Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, stood still, and said a little strangely: "Yes, little fatty, how do you know." ”

Chubby swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, pointed his finger forward, and said tremblingly, "I seem... I like to see it!"

See?

After reacting, Lao Liu's eyes widened in horror, walked quickly to the edge of the city, looked up, and saw a black oppression outside the city, and saw a black army like a black dragon from far and near striding towards the county seat. Rows of mighty battle flags fluttered in the wind, and the tips and blades of spears flashed with light.

The soldier on the left side of the front was wearing black heavy armor, and the heavy armor wrapped the soldier's whole body, leaving only a pair of eyes full of evil energy.

And the most frightening thing was the tall giant axe carried by the soldier, the handle of the axe was six feet long, and the blade of the axe was eight inches long.

On the right side is the shield party array, rows of shields flashing with black light, and spears coming out of the shield, pointing and thinking ahead.

In the rear were dozens of cavalry phalanxes, spear cavalry formations, bow cavalry formations, heavy cavalry formations..... The ghost horse under the seat seems to be one with the soldier, and slowly follows the rhythm of the soldier, but it can be seen from the soldier's tense body that the seemingly quiet and slow cavalry, once the order is given, will be able to ride the horse and gallop together, showing the speed and momentum that the cavalry should have.

The middle array is the infantry phalanx, the sword array, the sword array, the spear array, the bow array, and the heavy armor array..............

The whole army was silent, the military discipline was solemn, only the sound of uniform footsteps resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the strong evil atmosphere permeated the sky over the whole army.

In the Chinese army, a battle flag with the word "Mo" fluttered hideously, the hunting cold wind blew the flag, and Mo Xuan was fully armed under the battle flag, his face was solemn and calm, looking at the city wall not far away and smiling lightly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack, close the city gate!~" After coming back to his senses, Lao Liu screamed, and the screams resounded throughout the city wall. In an instant, the sound of gongs, the roars of people, and the screams immediately sounded on the city wall, and it seemed chaotic.

Mo Xuan looked at the chaotic scene on the city wall, shook his head disdainfully, and was not in a hurry to attack, silently watching the soldiers close the city gate.

After a long time, the city wall finally quieted down, and the soldiers all stood at their posts, panting, looking at the black and oppressive imperial Tibetan army under the city, their bodies trembled slightly, and the hands holding the weapons were soaked with sweat.

"Shield, array!" Mo Xuan saw that the other side was finally ready, and immediately ordered with a tremor. The drums of war rang out with Mo Xuan's order.

"Drink~~" The three thousand soldiers of the contradiction battalion shouted in unison, held a shield in one hand, and quickly and neatly advanced to the front of the whole army, forming a phalanx.

"Down!" Tian Zhan ordered.

"Knock~~"

The soldiers of the Contradiction Colonel put down their shield armor neatly, and the heavy shield landed on the ground and let out an earth-shattering roar, and the hearts of the soldiers on the shaking city wall trembled.

"Crossbow~~" Mo Xuan ordered again.

The Chinese army suddenly separated from both sides, revealing a thousand instruments slowly rolled out from the rear of the Chinese army, the equipment was about two meters long, the person was high, and there was a large bow with enlargement and thickening, and there was a one-meter-long thick wooden connection between the bow and the plate seat at the bottom, which could allow the strong bow to rotate freely up and down, left and right to aim, and the plate seat man had four wheels to help carry it out.

This is exactly one of the drawings that Mo Xuan drew at the beginning, the crossbow car, after several months of building, finally created this thousand units, at this moment Mo Xuan decided to try it out in order to make a quick decision.

The ballista cart requires two people to pull the strings, but each time it can release twenty arrows at a time, and the arrows released have the power of five stones, which is only two stones for the archers, and it is no longer possible to shoot at the city wall, and the ballista cart is simply a nightmare for long-range attacks.

Targeted by the ballista cart, the soldiers on the city wall immediately turned pale, as if they were being targeted by a demon, and swallowed their saliva with difficulty.

Jiang Jie, the general defending the city, looked at the crossbow cart that came out slowly, his eyes widened, a drop of cold sweat ran down his face from his forehead, and he immediately shouted: "Hide, hide quickly, the shield comes forward!"

Although he was intimidated by the momentum of the Emperor's Tibetan army, after all, it was a trained soldier, under Jiang Jie's order, he immediately acted quickly, and a wooden shield with a large door panel was lifted to the wall, and the soldiers defending the city squatted down the female wall to hide themselves.

The battle flag waved, the drums shook the sky, and a thick murderous aura rose to the sky with Mo Xuan's order.

"A row of ballistas, put ~~" Mo Xuan looked at the defense on the city wall, let out a sneer, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and immediately raised his sword and shouted angrily.

The battle flag waved, the drums shook the sky, and a thick murderous aura rose to the sky with Mo Xuan's order.

Buzz ~~~

At the order, the crossbow archers in the front row immediately moved the trigger, and the arrows were like locusts in the sky, making a terrifying muffled sound, and setting up a strong wind towards the city wall.

"Ah~~"

Although there is a wooden shield to resist, but at this moment it is a crossbow arrow, how can a simple wooden shield be blocked, and even some female walls have been shot out of holes one by one under continuous attacks, and the soldiers hiding behind the female wall have died on the ground.

In just one round, more than 100 soldiers were killed and countless more were wounded.

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Jiang Jie's eyes widened in shock, he had never seen an arrow that could even penetrate a female wall, and he looked helpless at the moment.

"Arrows in the front row, back row, put ~~" After a round of release, Mo Xuan's face was indifferent, his body was like Mount Tai, and he ordered the arrows to be released again.

Only two rounds of arrows, actually released 20,000 arrows, the city wall, the city house, and even the houses behind the city wall are all full of dense arrows, the city wall screams again and again, the ground is full of wounded and dead soldiers, blood overflows the city wall, four rounds down, even if the soldiers defending the city have the cover of the building, still more than 500 people died, and countless people were injured.

"My lord, don't let go of the arrows, don't let go of them. At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a civil official suddenly rushed forward, standing by the city wall and crying loudly.

"Stop~" Mo Xuan immediately ordered, shouting to stop preparing for the next round of archery, and looked at the man on the city wall playfully.

"My lord, I'm Fengluo County Commander, please don't let it go anymore, I'll open the city gate now" After shouting, he turned his head to Jiang Jie and said helplessly: "Jiang Jie, open the city gate." ”

Jiang Jie was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, this .........."

"Alas~" The county commander sighed and said: "What can be done, we only have more than 2,000 people, the other party has tens of thousands of troops, and the other party has such siege equipment, how can the small city wall of my county resist it? Even if it can be defended for a while, but it is a matter of time before the city gate is breached, so why bother to add casualties in vain?"

Jiang Jie also sighed deeply, and reluctantly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

Mo Xuan looked at the slowly opening city gate, a satisfied smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he was extremely satisfied with the ballista cart that had begun to show its power, and said secretly in his heart: It is indeed from the hand of Ma Jun, if in the plain area, the enemy army has been shot indiscriminately, thinking about that picture, Mo Xuan's heart will be sour.

After YY, Mo Xuanli gave an order, the cavalry retreated two miles, set up camp, and the rest all entered the city!
