Chapter 252: Zhu Yuanzhang actually let Lord Ye rise to the top, shooting in three stages, and finally the savage collision!

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang,

The first heavily armored cavalry to rush into the stone wall labyrinth array was directly pierced by three armor-piercing arrows, and was also carried away from the horse's back by its powerful impact force, and slammed into the first stone wall.

Due to the force of the impact, when his back hit the stone wall, he also broke his spine and hung directly there.

But such a tragic situation could not stop these charging cavalry with a mortal heart.

These lucky people, who were not burned and killed by the 10,000 enemies, rushed into this stonewall maze array equivalent to a hunting ground one after another.

It's just that they are the prey who have to successfully complete dozens of right-angle turns, and the shooters who operate the bow and crossbow beds on the city wall are the real hunters!

"When they turn, they will definitely strangle the war horse, the horse's hooves will slip in the snow, and the war horse will suddenly stand up."

"If you can't shoot them while they're riding fast, take advantage of the horses to raise their heads!"

"Remember, if you shoot a few more cavalrymen, our brothers in battle under the city will die a lot!"

“.”

At this moment, General Li was loudly telling the essentials, and the heralds on both sides of him, after hearing these essentials, also started running on both sides, conveying the essentials while running.

Sure enough, after mastering this essential, the archer of the crossbow bed, who was responsible for shooting the cavalry, was much more accurate.

Soon, most of the bow and crossbow bed shooters who were modified with three arrow slots and were responsible for shooting the Northern Yuan cavalry with armor-piercing arrows began to aim at the major sharp turns.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Mosaic, it was the armor-piercing arrows that were constantly flying in front of them, and they flexibly changed their trajectory.

In their cognition, the bow bed can also adjust the elevation angle up and down, but it cannot be adjusted left and right, and if you want to turn left and right, you must move the whole bed together.

Undoubtedly, it was a cumbersome task that required multiple people to complete.

But they saw the nearest archer of the crossbow bed, just one person holding the handle with both hands, and he could freely adjust the aim and shoot up, down, left and right.

Of course, whether it is up and down or left and right, there is a certain limit, and it cannot be adjusted if the limit is exceeded.

But even a limited adjustment is a major technological breakthrough!

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the new technique, he left Mao Xiang alone to watch the battle by the women's wall, and he quietly came to the back of the nearest bow bed and squatted.

Finally, he saw where the technology was.

In fact, if you want the aiming and shooting mechanism of the bow and crossbow bed, it is really not difficult to achieve limited free adjustment up and down, left and right, with his Zhu Yuanzhang's brain, it is definitely a glance.

It is nothing more than a modern ubiquitous 'ball head steering' technology!

As long as it is connected with a circular iron ball between the supporting mechanism below and the shooting aiming mechanism.

In order to stabilize the lower support, the lower hemisphere can be stuck with a locking pin, and the upper hemisphere is covered with a hemispherical bowl under the upper shooting aiming mechanism.

Of course, this hemispherical bowl cannot be completely covered, and there must be a certain amount of space for height difference.

If there is no room for a little height difference, you can only adjust it left and right, and there is no room for adjusting the up-and-down elevation angle.

On the contrary, while realizing the random adjustment of the left and right, it also takes into account a certain degree of up and down elevation angle adjustment space!

But just like this, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he couldn't do it at all.

The reason is simple, with their current technology, it is difficult to produce a smooth ball, and it is even more difficult to produce an iron-fisted cover that fits the ball.

If there is a slight deviation, even if it is oiled, it is not easy to make!

After understanding the problem, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning!

"This guy must have the technology to make iron balls and bowl covers with relative ease!"

“.”

After Zhu Yuanzhang realized this, the idea of wanting to kill Ye Qing early but not wanting to kill Ye Qing early came to his mind again.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang began to have a headache, the archer in front of him, who was responsible for manipulating the crossbow bed to shoot the cavalry, directly let go of the handle and began to move his hands to rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and glanced left and right, only then did he know that all the bow and crossbow beds that had been modified to kill the cavalry with armor-piercing arrows had stopped, and only the bow and crossbow bed shooters who were responsible for using javelin arrows to find and destroy all enemy generals and the bannermen of Daxu were still trying their best to aim.

He knew that the cavalry that could shoot in the Stone Wall Maze Array had already been shot, which also meant that the cavalry who should have broken out of the Stone Wall Maze Array had also broken out of the Stone Wall Maze Array.

Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the edge of the female wall again, and when the scene in the stone wall maze array appeared in his eyes again, he couldn't help but immediately light up.

As far as the eye can see, between the stone walls and the stone wall roads, there are corpses of people and horses, as well as people and horses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are lying on the snow and constantly oozing blood, and they are still dying.

Judging from the number of dead and wounded people lying there, if it were summer and autumn, the road between the stone walls would no longer have a little variegation, and it would definitely be blood-red.

But now it was a cold winter day, and the blood that flowed from their penetrating wounds had no chance to be covered at all, because it had not been long before it had begun to freeze.

Starting from the blood that comes out, all the way to the wound directly 'frozen to stop the bleeding'!

But this way of stopping the bleeding will not save their lives, it will only speed up their death!

At this moment, hundreds of bold vultures suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly in the stone wall maze array, frantically pecking at the corpses of man-eaters.

Of course, in their eyes, as long as they can't move, whether they can make a sound or breathe, they are all corpses and their food.

The excited roar of the vultures is nothing at all in this battlefield where the war has already begun.

But those Beiyuan centaurs, who were not dead, could still breathe, and could still make a sound, watched the vultures peck at themselves and let out screams, but they echoed throughout the valley.

Rao is still bombarding the sound of ultra-distant trebuchet machinery in the distance, and the 10,000 enemies who are still exploding in the distance can't completely cover the heart-rending screams.

General Li listened to this scream and looked at this tragic scene, and couldn't help but feel pity: "These Northern Yuan cavalry still have the legacy of Genghis Khan's iron cavalry!" ”

"If they were like the Mengyuan soldiers of our army, they would not have what they are today."

Mao Xiao just nodded beside him and said, "There will be this day." ”

"If Lord Ye can rise to prominence, there will definitely be an army of Han and Mongolia, open up the world, and educate the world one day!"

When General Li heard this, he also nodded very approvingly and said, "General Ben has always believed in Lord Ye's point of view, and only by subduing them as soon as possible can we let them join us in opening up the battlefield further north." ”

"Of course, with Lord Ye's current official position, it would be good to be able to defend the city."

"If you want to achieve this grand goal, only Lord Ye will become the next Xu Da, it depends on whether our Emperor Majesty has long eyes!"

"But judging from the praise decree that His Majesty sent down not long ago, our Emperor Majesty is still a good Ming Jun!"

"Ahem!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

General Li looked at Mao Xiao, who was coughing constantly, and said with concern: "Brother Mao, do you want General Ben to ask someone to bring you a robe?" ”

Mao Xiang's afterglow looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was 'watching the play' behind him, and just smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that I'm still a little unused to the dry and cold climate here, just cough a few times." ”

"General Li, you see, there are still almost two thousand cavalry rushing out of the stone wall maze array."

When General Li saw this, he immediately set his eyes on the three thousand firecrackers who were arrayed two hundred and fifty steps outside the city.

And Mao Xiang didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's strange and penetrating eyes, and leaned on the women's wall, looking at the scene in front of him.

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked at the backs of the two, but the wind and snow outside could not dispel the anger in his heart.

Of course, it's not so much anger as he's jealous!

Mao Xiang, who he trusted the most, dared to say what he hoped that Ye Qing would prosper?

But after thinking about it, he also felt that what Mao Xiang said was indeed very reasonable, and it was indeed the best result to let Wan Qianerlang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty become his own people, and become a scimitar for himself to educate the Duchy of Tsarist Russia further north, as well as the white-skinned slave countries further west.

But who is the best person to implement it?

Whether it is Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong or even Xu Da, they are not up to this task that requires ability and foresight.

Of course, what they lack most is not vision and ability, but time!

They're all old, and even if they're all absolutely loyal to themselves, they won't have the time left!

And the only person who has the ability, foresight and time is this Lord Ye who makes him want to kill but is reluctant to kill!

It's just that he, Ye Qing, is absolutely loyal to him Zhu Yuanzhang?

Not really!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again.

But just as he was about to think about it, the observer immediately gave the order to shoot.

"Four hundred steps!"

"Outside the city, after completing a round of three-stage shooting, withdraw immediately!"

"After the firecrackers withdraw, the archers in the city will immediately send a rain of arrows!"

At both ends of the corridor on the third floor of the city gate tower,

At the same time as the observer gave the order, he also waved the corresponding flags outside the city and on both sides.

When the archers with strong bows on both sides of the city wall saw this, they immediately drew their bows and arrows and pointed diagonally to the sky.

And the general of the 3,000 musketeers who lined up 250 steps outside the city also immediately issued an order after seeing the flag.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang witnessed the real three-stage shooting method!

To put it simply, after the first row of 1,000 gunners finished firing, they immediately retreated to the third row to continue reloading, and then the second row became the first row of firing in place.

In this way, it is possible to maintain continuous firing while maintaining the relative distance between the enemy's advance and retreat.

Of course, this is only for infantry of about the same speed!

In the face of the cavalry, these 3,000 firecrackers must retreat after a round!

Although the three-stage shooting is ingenious, it is not to the point where Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang are shocked, after all, this is really an action that can be seen at a glance, and there is no technical content.

And what really shocked them was the tacit understanding of the Yanmen garrison!

At the same time as the firecrackers retreated, two thousand shield-bearers holding square iron shields turned in unison, revealing two thousand paths for one person to pass.

After the firecrackers quickly retreated, they turned in unison, and once again became an impenetrable steel wall!

Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen blinds, if he has seen blinds, after he sees this scene, he will definitely think of the scene of the blinds switching!

"This is military discipline under civilian rule!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's serious face also became complicated.

At this moment, a volley of arrows rained down on the city walls.

Originally, the configuration of 2,000 heavy cavalry and 8,000 light cavalry was baptized by ultra-long trebuchets and 10,000 enemies, and the baptism of stone wall maze arrays and crossbow beds, as well as fire guns and arrows.

And these five hundred light horsemen, there are only the last thirty steps left from the contradictory rejection array.

At this distance, the crossbow beds on the city walls were useless, and the archers did not dare to move.

Therefore,

Everyone's eyes were focused on the soldiers who were about to be brutally charged, contradictory and rejecting horses!

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
