Chapter Fifty-Eight: Revenge is Fun by Doing It Yourself!
Countless crossbow arrows were like an overwhelming metal storm, piercing through the thin leather armor on the thieves' archers with stunned expressions, and even pierced through the bodies of the first few rows, exploding a bright red blood mist in the crowd.
And many of the foot soldiers who watched the battle behind these archers also ate the pot roast, even if the clever people held up the leather shield and wooden shield, they could not stop the terrifying penetration of this mysterious crossbow arrow, and they fell to the ground with a wail, and soon lost their breath.
Just one round of a thousand salvos, at such a distance, a thousand arrows took the lives of hundreds of people, not only Huang Chao and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak, even Li Yi and the others who knew the amazing power of this crossbow were dumbfounded.
"Sure enough, it's an artifact handed down by Grandpa Wei, an immortal!"
The Tang army erected shields to resist the arrows that had fallen, and there were many casualties, and dozens of people were carried down by the peasants.
In contrast, the losses are very small.
Seeing that the other party was still in a daze, knowing that the opportunity could not be missed, Li Yi immediately waved the Golden Dragon Emperor Flag again,
"All of them, raise them at an angle of thirty degrees, and get ready... Shoot! ”
When these thousand crossbow arrows took away hundreds of thieves, the latter finally reacted,
With a "boom", they all ran back.
Some people even shouted while running: "The Tang Army has the protection of gods and people, and has given a magic weapon, everyone don't send them to death, hurry up..."
"Poof"
Zhang Guiba strictly abides by his duties as a prison officer, and the one-legged doll smashed this guy who disturbed the army's heart into a meat patty.
"Those who dare to retreat from the battle are role models!"
"When",
A crossbow arrow struck him in the armor of the shoulder, causing him to shake slightly.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the arrow did not break through his armor, leaving only a mark.
However, Zhang Guiba was still startled, looked left and right, and quietly took dozens of steps back, before he put down his heart.
"Who made these artifacts, and why haven't they been taken out until today?"
He didn't believe in what the immortals had given him, but he was still terrified.
But he couldn't stop the thieves from retreating, so he had to retreat beyond the range of the crossbow arrows that could no longer reach.
Seeing this, Tang Jun shouted: "Datang will win, God bless Datang!" ”
They were also shocked by the power of the crossbow arrows.
Huang Chao got down from the building car, looking at a crossbow arrow in his hand, and frowned.
"Brother Meng, this thing can penetrate the leather shield and leather armor three hundred steps away, and the iron armor can shoot through within two hundred steps, do you have a good way to deal with it?"
Meng Kai groaned for a moment and looked at the city wall in the distance,
"This is not the time to retreat, you can concentrate all the cloud (stone throwers) to attack one part of the city, and it is better to collapse a gap.
Although this crossbow arrow is powerful, it is not really wearable, don't we still have more than a hundred abandoned toad cars? All of them were made of whole giant trees, and they adopted the previous strategy of filling in the moats, escorting people to the city and concentrating on attacking the gap.
What's more, this kind of crossbow arrow is unique, and the number must not be much, it is estimated that there are a maximum of ten per person, and if it is consumed slightly, the danger will be naturally removed. ”
Huang Chao nodded, this is indeed a good idea.
......
When hundreds of toad carts, twice as large as dump trucks, appeared in the field of vision of Li Yi and the others, Song Wentong clicked his mouth.
"As soon as this car comes out, the power of the Weiwang crossbow is greatly reduced, and the other party has a good military advisor, it won't be Shang Rang's idea, right?"
Lu Jiping pulled out the exquisite horizontal knife in his waist and stared at a pair of big eyes,
"I really want to lead a team of men and horses out to kill, if I can cut down Shang Rang, it will also be regarded as revenge for His Highness!"
Song Wentong hugged his shoulders and smiled,
"Your Highness said that revenge has to be done yourself!"
Of course, this sentence was said very lightly, and only a few people Li Yilu Jiping and Zhang Zhifang could hear it.
Half an hour later, the thieves finally crossed the moat, erected the ladder tower cart and the siege ladder to the city wall, and once again turned the head of Chang'an City into a Shura field and a meat grinder.
Although Li Yi stood at the head of the city, he was protected by Qianniuwei, and he had no chance to kill a few guys who climbed the city wall in person.
He looked at the sun, which had begun to sink in the west, and waved his dragon pattern to recognize the flag again,
"The hour has come, get on the waterwheel!"
As soon as the peasants and laborers in the city who were close to the female wall heard the emperor's order, they immediately pushed the water carts that were several feet higher than the city wall, and even the front end had already protruded out of the city, to the wall.
The end of the water cart all reached into the dug canal around the city, and more than a dozen people stepped on the pedal together, and the water in the canal was continuously transported to the city, pouring it on the heads of the thieves under the city like a waterfall.
In the old days, these thieves enjoyed hot baths, which could burn people's skin.
But because it is burned and poured on the spot, the efficiency is not high, and it is often poured for a while.
Although this kind of pain is painful, even if the thieves are scalded to death in the end, there are not many of them.
What they hated the most was the hot gold juice poured down by Tang Jun, and I don't know which person thought of this thing first, it was simply a double blow of magic and psychology.
Hot gold juice is a collection of human excrement, and then put it in a large urn to boil and then pour it down, the taste is simply amazing.
The so-called "solid soup", this is actually a very flavorful idiom...
Anyway, when Li Jie was leading more than 3,000 allied troops to support everywhere, once he got the golden juice to retreat from the enemy here, he immediately ran away and went to support other places.
Now Chang'an's city wall is simply a large manure tank, that is, because it is winter, if it is summer and a few more days, Li Jie feels that he can make a little money by selling fertilizer.
And those thieves who were lucky enough not to be poured on, when they stepped on these yellow and white things, they were lucky enough to climb the city, and they often died slower than others for a while and a half.
This time, the thief found that the other party was actually just pouring cold water, and in comparison, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.
Although in the end, even if he returned to the camp safely without dying, at most he would have a wind chill or something, and a few large bowls of ginger soup would be poured down, and he would be a good man.
The water cart did not stop from the beginning of its operation, and gradually condensed a slip of ice on the city wall, and a small ice slope began to appear at the corner of the city.
But no one paid attention to this, and some people even fell from the ladder or siege ladder to avoid falling to their deaths because of this ice slope.
......
Li Yi finally seized an opportunity and stabbed to death a thief with the extremely sassy bag in his hand and a horse lance plated with gold water more than a dozen times, feeling excited and apprehensive.
After all, it was the first time to kill someone with his own hands, and it was inevitable.
While observing the situation of the city walls everywhere, he looked at the Chinese army camp in Huangchao in the extreme distance with some anxiety.
"It's almost evening, why hasn't there been any movement?"
