260 shots

Countless soldiers on the city walls, shouting trumpets and turning the winch.

The winch pulls the bowstring, and in front of the bowstring is a huge crossbow machine, which is the giant crossbow that Grande made some time ago.

In fact, it is a giant city defense device made according to the ancient rhubarb crossbow of Blue Star.

This thing has long been verified in the ancient warring history of Blue Star for thousands of years, and the effect is just now.

It is not said that it is used to kill and injure soldiers, but the main role is to destroy the opponent's siege equipment.

And after Grande and Yang Yinuan studied this crossbow machine, they also carried out a series of transformations to the crossbow machine.

For example, they installed a turntable under the crossbow machine, so that the angle at which the crossbow machine can shoot is greatly increased.

The bow arm used by the crossbow machine is the beech wood that these slave laborers in the city have recently picked in the mountains.

After drying in a brick kiln, many of them become bent.

This kind of wood is not suitable for building materials, but it is very suitable for crossbow machines.

The bowstring at the back is an elastic mountaineering rope that Yang Yinuan got from the modern world, which is mixed with steel wire, which is very tough.

It takes a winch to wind it, and the winch needs two people to turn.

Once the strings are up, a soldier next to him will put a spear-shaped bow and arrow 1.5 meters long into the firing slot.

However, this bow is not an ordinary bow and arrow, because there are still a few barbs on the arrow in front of it.

When the bow and arrow are placed, the soldiers behind will carry the handle of the crossbow machine and aim through the sights in front.

This sight was specially built by Grande based on the principle of sights for modern recurve bows.

It's simple, but with simple training, these natives are able to do it.

When the aim is complete, someone will smash the trigger with the mallet, and the bowstring will bounce back quickly.

The crossbow bolt flew out like a bolt of lightning, and the trajectory was straight, heading straight for the two watchtowers two hundred meters away.

At this time, those two watchtowers have posed a serious threat to the city defense of Qianshan City.

Because these two watchtowers are very tall, even about a meter higher than the walls of Thousand Hills City.

At this moment, more than a dozen archers on the other side crowded on the platform at the top of the watchtower, using bows and arrows to carry out long-range strikes on the soldiers defending on the city wall.

These archers were clearly hand-picked marksmen, and their aim was very high.

Many soldiers on the city walls were on their way.

Although these soldiers on the city wall were wearing the explosion-proof suits brought to them by Yang Yinuan.

These explosion-proof suits made of PE can effectively reduce the stabbing action of cold weapons.

But after all, this protective clothing does not protect the whole body, the armpits, neck, and the side of the thighs, etc., are still exposed.

And although the helmet is not worse than the iron helmet of this era, when this batch of helmets was purchased, there was no baffle for the face.

Therefore, there is basically no protection for the face.

In this way, those sharpshooters are given an opportunity to take advantage of.

At the top of the two watchtowers, there were a total of more than forty marksmen, and at this moment they were frantically throwing at the soldiers on the city wall.

Moreover, the watchtower where they were located was relatively high, and they were in a state of downward-fire, while the archers on the city wall were in a state of back-fire.

Under the confrontation, it was naturally the defenders on the city wall who suffered a big loss.

In the blink of an eye, they shot dozens of soldiers.

Although the casualties are not large, if they continue like this, it will greatly hurt their morale.

The most important thing is that when the marksman on the watchtower suppresses the defenders on the city wall.

The soldiers on the ground who were pushing ladders, crashing cars, and covering cars had already rushed under the city walls at this moment.

Crashing and going straight to the cost, this thing is like a container with a wheel.

Above is the spire of the tiled house, covered with a thick layer of unknown animal skin.

Inside the car was a ram hanging in the middle of the carriage, and the person who crashed pushed the cart to the city gate.

It would swing its ram like a pendulum and hit the gates back and forth.

For the city gate, Yang Yi was so warm that he was not worried at all, because he had already asked people to block the gate with stones inside.

Even if the other party smashed the city gate, they would not be able to enter, because behind the wooden gate was also a thick stone wall.

What really worries him is the luck of the other party's push, and the car.

The car looks like a crash, but there is no ram inside, and it is the equivalent of an armored personnel carrier.

Rushing to the base of the city wall, the car was full of soldiers.

Once the ladder is on the top of the wall, they will climb up the ladder desperately.

Originally, the defenders on the city wall could deal with this wave of attacks very calmly.

But because they were suppressed by the two watchtowers, the defenders on the city wall were a little timid and couldn't show their hands and feet.

Only then did Yang Yinuan give an order to let several crossbow machines on the city wall begin to concentrate on attacking the two watchtowers.

On the 300-meter city wall, there are a total of six such big yellow crossbows, two on the city wall, and two in the fortress that pokes out.

At this moment, six large yellow crossbows shot six javelin-like crossbow arrows.

Four of them missed, and two hit the middle of one of the watchtowers.

Both of these crossbow arrows had long ropes behind them, and they were hit in the middle of the watchtower.

The crossbow arrow shot directly through the middle guard of the watchtower, and the arrow was stuck in the front guard of the watchtower.

A centurion on this side of the fortress immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him and began to turn the winch quickly.

The winch spun wildly, straightening the rope behind the crossbow in an instant.

The rope shook the watchtower in front of it like this.

Even in the watchtower, there were several killings on it, and the shooter who stepped on the arrow stack of the watchtower with one foot was unstable, and he fell off the watchtower directly......

In a terrible scream, he fell into a mass of flesh......

Seeing this picture, the soldiers on the fortress became even more excited.

Before, they were suppressed by the shooters on the watchtower, and now they have the opportunity to tear down the watchtower, and they have all their strength.

When the marksman on the watchtower next to him saw this, he immediately turned the winch at the soldiers on the side of the fortress and shot a rain of arrows.

And the defenders on the city walls were not to be outdone, and fired arrows wildly at the sharpshooters on the watchtower.

At the same time, the soldiers near the winch rushed to the front of the soldiers with their shields and raised their shields to protect their heads.

And several other big yellow crossbows on the city wall are also desperately turning the winch to wind the crossbow.

After the strings were laid, under the command of the standard-bearer Qiyu, they launched another attack on the two watchtowers.

The large yellow crossbow on another of the bastions attacked the watchtower, which had been hooked.

The other three were attacking another intact watchtower.

In an instant, the two watchtowers were hit by several arrows......
