The leading generals felt that they had finally rushed out of the rain of death arrows, and their hearts were overjoyed.

While urging the iron horse under his crotch to charge, he turned around and shouted.

"Brothers, rush quickly, their ballistas don't have time to wind up......"

But before he finished shouting, he saw a white light in front of him, and a heavy arrow pierced through his mouth.

The massive impact of the crossbow arrows knocked the general's armor off his horse and nailed him to the ground.

Another round of stormy rain of arrows, and hundreds of riders were carried away by a wave.

All the riders' hearts are finally relieved at this time, three rounds of arrows have rained, and now you can't have crossbow arrows to shoot, right?

According to the level of normal crossbowmen in this era, in such a short time, three rounds of intensive accumulation can be completed.

That's already the limit of a crossbowman!

After all, with such a long range and such a lethal power, winding is a physical task.

Even with the help of a pulley set and a winch, even with two winding hands, work at the same time.

You can shoot three rounds in one minute, which is also the limit!

Because it's quite physically demanding.

In the past, the appearance of the steam catapult cannon of the Zhao family in Qingshan City was already an epoch-making weapon for this era.

This most primitive steam ballista can reach a maximum range of 250 meters, and the heavy arrows fired can pierce armor.

The biggest improvement over the manpower ballista they invented was that it could fire one box at a time, about thirty crossbow arrows.

It can greatly increase the density of fire coverage.

However, there are big and small problems with the strength of the cylinders of their steam engines, as well as the airtightness.

So when their family's angry artillery truck appeared on the battlefield, it was also their limit to shoot three times in a row within a minute.

It is precisely because of this that the heavy armored cavalry of Liangchi Prefecture made such a judgment.

In such a short period of time, three rounds of arrows have been shot from the opposite side.

Regardless of whether the other party winds by hand or by a steam engine, this is already the limit in their opinion.

After the first three rounds of arrow rain from the other party, what awaits them next is a horse Pingchuan!

The heavy cavalry who took the lead was gritting their teeth at this time, and the heavy armored cavalry who followed behind were also hideous.

Everyone wants to rush to the car formation of the Thousand Mountains Army as fast as possible to avenge the dead comrades...

But what they didn't know was that what they bumped into this time was Yang Yinuan and Grande's improved steam ballista.

This improved steam catapult cannon is more than a star and a half stronger than the original steam cannon in Qingshan City.

The first is the crossbow string for catapulting, and they use a bowstring made of nylon fiber mixed with Yang Yinuan from Blue Star.

The elasticity is stronger than the beef tendon mixture used in Aoyama Castle, not a star and a half.

The second is the tensile system, Grand also added a pulley block to the elastic net, and the tension spring brought by Yang Yinuan was used.

The crossbow string with the blessing of these modern mechanical parts greatly improves the ejection power.

Then, they transformed the steam engine, and the cylinder used the lubricating oil, sealing rubber ring, and rubber pad brought back by Yang Yinuan.

With these things, the airtightness of the cylinder is directly twice as strong as before.

In addition, the precision-machined piston brought by Yang Yinuan and the connecting rod with higher strength.

Such a set of parts are assembled together to ensure that the steam engine can ensure continuous high-intensity output.

The most critical design is the high-pressure gas cylinder brought by Yang Yinuan.

With this thing, the hot steam produced by the steam engine can be collected, and the air supply to the steam engine can be continuously pressurized to ensure the continuous operation of the crankshaft.

Under the reciprocating crankshaft, a giant elastic net constantly pulls the wind, and then catapults out.

Pieces of arrows rain continuously, in conjunction with the combat mode of the chariot's three-stage strike.

On the way of the heavy cavalry charging in Liangchi Prefecture, the rain of arrows above their heads has not stopped.

The firepower output density of the modified Ballista has been doubled, and the effective range has also been greatly increased.

The original range was 250 meters for upward shooting, but now it can reach 350 meters for horizontal shooting.

If you shoot from the back, you can even reach 400 or even 500 meters.

Moreover, the strength of armor-piercing has also been unprecedentedly improved with the use of various armor-piercing arrows

The heavy armored lancers who rushed up at this time were the first indigenous army in the world to experience what is called a three-stage attack of a storm.

After the first row of cars is fired, they retreat to the third row and start loading, the second row of cars immediately make up, and the third row of cars prepares.

The second row of cars finished firing and retreated to the back, and the third row of ballista cars on top of the gun trucks, and the first row of ballista cars loaded with ammunition came to the battle position and began to prepare.

Three rounds were followed by three rounds, and this continuous shooting took less than five minutes.

They shot tens of thousands of arrows a hundred meters in front of them, within an area of 100 meters x 100 meters.

The heavy armored cavalry of Liangchi Prefecture led by Qin Shaoyu felt despair for the first time.

Obviously, they were only a hundred meters away from the enemy, but they couldn't rush through the last hundred meters from the enemy, the line of life and death.

At first, it was only the cavalry that was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, but later, when it was closer and closer to the chariot formation of the Qianshan Army.

Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned iron-skinned horses were pierced to the ground by heavy bows and crossbows.

The group of heavily armored cavalry, which had bravely charged forward to kill the enemy a few minutes earlier, was finally drowned in this cumulonimbus cloud formed by a dense rain of arrows...

Finally the enemy began to crumble, and there was one who turned around and fled first, and soon there was a second, then a third......

This was followed by a collapse of film after piece......

"Let Me Go ......"

Looking at the elite under his command, he didn't even touch the enemy's figure, and was shot to the ground by the enemy's heavy arrows.

Qin Shaoyu, who was hiding behind, had red eyes at this moment, and he just wanted to urge the mount under his crotch to rush up and fight the enemy.

But the guards around him, how could they see him risking his life like this.

He had to make a little move on his side, and his subordinates immediately grabbed him.

Then two men carried him and began to run the queen.

"Let go of me, I'm going to kill ......"

Qin Shaoyu was still struggling, but at this moment, his side suddenly loosened.

When he turned his head, it turned out to be a guard beside him who was originally pulling him to run.

A heavy arrow fell from the sky, shot off the horse and nailed to the ground.

At this time, Qin Shaoyu no longer struggled to rush up, but followed the guards around him, turned around and ran together.

Because at this moment, he saw that the enemy had raised the elevation angle of the launch box and began to eject.

Although the accuracy of this shooting will be worse, the range will be longer.

And with the attack mode densely covered by this steam ballista, the lethality of this projectile mode will not be reduced at all.
