Chapter 258: Only Lord Ye can be the master, intercept the giant arrow to show his might, and Zhu Yuanzhang's veteran returns to the battlefield!

"Quick, move fast!"

"The weapon box must correspond to the stack, and we must let our artillery archers and archers turn around and get what they need!"

"Pay attention to the Wentu logo on the box, you can't be wrong!"

"Especially to intercept giant arrows, don't pile them up behind the bow bed that modifies the three-arrow slot, it must be placed behind the bow crossbow bed that modifies the one-arrow slot!"

“.”

The general of the banner who was responsible for carrying the city wall led the soldiers and the people back and forth to carry it back and forth, while giving various instructions.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was under the eaves of the gate tower of the Middle Gate, looked at everything on both sides, and only felt that he saw the words 'positive' and 'rules'.

The goose feather snow and biting cold wind are still raging, but the soldiers on the city wall are still moving quickly.

This scene is very familiar, it can be said that this scene will be seen in the city defense battle, but the expressions on the faces of the people are different.

When he was the commander of the Red Turban Army, although the people who assisted in the transportation were also relatively quick, the expression on his face was not positive, and he was more helpless.

The city is in his hands Zhu Yuanzhang, and the people can still live like a person, so they act quickly, but they are also forced to be helpless!

But the people here are different, even the prisoners who are fished out of the prison to do the work of transport, they all give people the feeling that he is fighting for himself!

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that what this represented was that it was far superior to the good living and political environment under the rule of the imperial court.

And all of this is due to their county magistrate, that is, Ye Qing, the county lord in the hearts of the people!

Looking at the wall that spans a kilometer and is more than four feet wide (fourteen meters) at the top, the side facing the outside of the city can be said to be full of all kinds of long-range weapons and archers!

On the side near the city, there are stacks of various corresponding weapon boxes, and the defenders can really turn around and take two steps to get the cannonballs, canisters of oil, and all kinds of arrows they need!

The people are also very caring, and after putting down the box, they also use a crowbar to pry loose the lid, which can really cover the snow again, and it is convenient for the soldiers to quickly use!

Between various types of long-range weapons and various types of ammunition boxes, on a passage nearly four meters wide, it is also orderly to go back and forth!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene, and his thoughts couldn't help but run in another direction.

He thought that if one day he and Ye Qing came to the opposite side, if this powerful long-range firepower and powerful logistics support were all moved to the city wall of the south gate of the county town to deal with the imperial army that he came to quell the rebellion, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he frowned again, he couldn't let Ye Qing continue to develop here, if he let Ye Qing serve here for another three years, he, the emperor, would really not be able to sleep!

After the end of the war, no matter whether he Ye Qing is greedy for agricultural taxes or not, he will get Ye Qing to go to the capital, if he is not greedy, he will be an official in the capital, and if he is greedy, he will be killed in the capital!

But in general, he still hopes that Ye Qing will not be greedy for agricultural taxes!

In this way, he sent Ye Qing to the capital to be an official, and the people of Yanmen County would think that Ye Qing was promoted and would be grateful to him as the emperor, and he, Zhu Yuanzhang, could also tie Ye Qing under his nose, which was simply a win-win situation!

After making up his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to a nearby box with the words "Yanmen Arsenal, intercept giant arrows" written on the side panel.

After only a few steps, he resisted his curiosity and stopped.

Now that the decisive battle is imminent, everyone is very busy, and if he asks this and that now, he is completely doing a disservice, and it seems that he has no knowledge.

Anyway, there is a place for it, and I don't care about this moment.

But he was still itching, he really wanted to see this giant arrow used for attack earlier, how could he intercept it?

"They're coming!"

"General, as Lord Ye expected, they gave up their war horses and changed to infantry, and there are many bow and ballista carts after the first row of infantry."

"The snow is so big that I can only see the snow and dust."

“.”

General Li, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, after hearing the report of the observer, immediately propped up the female wall with their hands, stood on tiptoe, squinted their eyes and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, it was the 'snow and dust explosion' across the two mountains, which was coming at a uniform speed from the camp of the Chinese army in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The infantry, which had no cavalry, only walked at a constant pace, and by the wind alone, it raised snow dust two or three feet high, which was enough to see how many people there were.

The unified straddle army of 100,000 troops was enough to make the already numb feet of the soldiers under the city feel the trembling of the earthquake.

And this trembling feeling became stronger as they moved forward!

But even so, the Yanmen soldiers just stared with their eyes, without any timidity!

People live to fight for a breath, the Northern Barbarians can still give up their lives and forget death, as the guardians of their home and country, they should be even more afraid of death!

Looking at this scene, General Li just ordered solemnly: "Minfu go to the city, prepare for battle!" ”

After receiving the order, it was the first time that the people disobeyed the order.

"General, let's go to war too!"

"My son is in battle under the city, there is no reason for me to go home as a father, he protects his family and defends the country, and I will die in front of him."

"General, I am a native of Mengyuan from the Ming Dynasty, but I am even more of a Ming person, this is my home, my son is a shield soldier below, I am not smaller than him, I will go to the top first, and he will go to the top when I die!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang looked at this scene, and they were once again amazed by the cohesion of Yanmen County.

But at this moment, General Li had a cold face, and he gave a strong order: "All go down to the city, and if you mess around here, General Ben will arrest you all for the crime of delaying the military plane." ”

"Pro-soldiers, get these people down to General Ben!"

In this way, these people were persuaded and invited to go down.

Immediately afterwards, General Li looked at General Guo in front of him and said: "It seems that this people's will is too good, and it is not necessarily a good thing, General Guo, you say yes?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just reluctantly smiled and said, "You're right! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the sentence that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked was very reasonable, and this General Li was also damaged by Ye Qing, and he always pretended to be so annoying.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang secretly frowned, the observer immediately gave the order for the ultra-long trebuchet to bombard.

Under the bombardment of 10,000 enemies, arms and legs are still flying in the distance, and black smoke is billowing out!

But their formation was not chaotic, they still maintained the formation, and continued to move forward at a uniform speed!

"This is the advantage of not having cavalry, people will hide, although there are casualties, but it will not be chaotic in formation."

General Li looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.

Soon, they were about to enter the maximum range of the cannon.

"Artillery, prepare for ignition!"

But just as they were observing their orders, their front-row infantry actually stopped.

Not only that, but they also seemed to have agreed, the front row of infantry stopped, and all the people behind stopped, and there was no stampede at all.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, the Northern Yuan infantry who did not stop still began to give way, and the bow and crossbow beds that were not destroyed by the 10,000 enemies also came to the position of the front-row infantry.

When the artillery officers and men watched this scene, they also held torches and looked at the observers, but the observers did not give the order to open fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned and said: "They are smart when they suffer losses!" ”

"General Li, you see, their boss Wang Baobao's intention is obvious, that is, to pave the way with human lives."

"Anyway, the 10,000 enemies thrown by the ultra-long trebuchet can't kill many people, and they can't blow up many bow beds, so they will advance beyond the range of my cannon and wait."

General Li was puzzled: "What are they waiting for?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said: "Wait for the wind!" ”

When General Li heard this, he immediately realized that he understood all their intentions.

These people are really losing and eating smart, so they deliberately stop before the maximum range of the artillery array.

In this way, they will only be bombarded by 10,000 enemies, and will not be hit by artillery arrays and crossbows, as well as sea of fire in the air.

Now they've moved the rest of the crossbow beds and the archers forward!

In this way, their crossbow beds and archers, the only long-range force, will be in a relatively safe zone that ultra-long trebuchets can't blow up, and cannons can't blow up!

Of course, even if they were in such a safe zone, they wouldn't be able to shoot up the city walls at all, unless God helped.

And this so-called God is all the south wind that goes straight to the south!

The terrain of the east and west valleys, with north-south convection, is very easy to rise from the south wind from north to south!

As soon as the south wind blows, their large arrows and thousands of arrows will rain straight towards the city walls or the soldiers under the city!

Thinking of this, General Li immediately ordered: "Intercept the giant arrow and prepare!" ”

A moment later,

On top of the city wall, there were thirty modified arrow slots distributed at intervals of about thirty meters, and on top of the bow bed arrow trough, which was dedicated to firing javelin arrows, there was an interceptor arrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang hurriedly stared at each other, but the appearance of intercepting the giant arrow disappointed them.

This so-called interception giant arrow can be said to be very simple in structure, that is, two long ropes are hung on the tail of a javelin giant arrow, and a long iron piece is tied to the end of the two ropes.

It's just that these two long and flat pieces of iron are not flat, and there are some slightly twisted shapes!

Just when the disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, Mao Xiang asked first: "General Li, is this the so-called interception of giant arrows?" ”

"What else can this giant arrow do with such two long ropes and two large pieces of iron hanging from it, except for affecting the accuracy and reducing the range?"

"You're going to use this thing against the incoming rain of arrows?"

Mao Xiang really can't help it!

He also knew that the things designed by Ye Qing were very reliable, but this thing was too unsightly!

He really couldn't figure out how this could be stuck with the word interception except for things that would affect the accuracy and reduce the range!

But before General Li could answer, a south wind suddenly blew!

The goose feathers and heavy snow went straight to the south, and the banners at the head of the city and the cloaks of the generals were also displayed to the south, and they were not dancing much, which was enough to see that this was a very fierce and very simple south wind!

Outside the stone wall labyrinth array, around the 100 Taipei Yuan bow and crossbow beds in the relative safety zone, the 10,000 archers who had already drawn their bows and arrows instantly lit up, as if they saw hope.

Because their battle flags, that is, the big ones with many wolf tails hanging, the wolf tails are all facing south, as if someone is pulling south, and they don't swing from side to side.

"The wind is coming!"

"Immortal God bless, it's the south wind coming!"

"Shoot me hard, and sprinkle all your anger on the defenders of Yanmen through the south wind!"

"Boys, draw your swords for me!"

"As long as they are hit, charge me"

The voice of the leading general was heart-rending and excited, and as the order spread, all the Northern Yuan infantry roared excitedly.

They have been pressed and beaten for too long, and finally they have their chance!

They had to take advantage of the south wind to constantly shoot at the defenders on the city wall, so that the defenders of Yanmen were too busy to take care of themselves, and they could not continue to control long-range weapons.

In this way, their chance to charge is here!

Airplanes!

A rain of 10,000 arrows and a thousand armor-piercing arrows fired from a crossbow bed are as wide as the walls are!

Not bad

Their crossbow bed is equipped with ten arrow slots, and a single crossbow bed can fire a salvo of ten armor-piercing arrows twice as long and thick as the bow, but the effective range is greatly reduced.

That's why they, whether they're archers or crossbow beds, have to wait for the south wind.

With the help of the south wind, this rain of arrows, consisting of 11,000 arrows, can shoot completely on the city walls.

Mao Xiang looked at the rain of arrows that were coming, and immediately dodged and blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's front.

"Intercept the Giant Arrow, fire!"

It was at this moment that the observer gave the order to intercept the launch of the giant arrow.

In Mao Xiang's glaring eyes, thirty arrows shaped like javelins were fired out by the crossbow bed at the same time.

The rain of thousands of arrows coming from north to south, and thirty javelin arrows from south to north, drawing a parabola at the same time, are about to collide at the high point.

It's just that in Mao Xiang's view, this is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car!

But the defenders on both sides of the city wall and the soldiers under the city were not worried at all, just looking straight at this scene in the air.

In the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang directly pushed Mao Xiang away, because Mao Xiang blocked his best view of witnessing another miracle.

Zhu Yuanzhang only saw the two ropes hanging behind the javelin giant arrow, and suddenly separated from the left and right, and began to spin.

As the speed of the giant arrow's flight increased, the two ropes with the iron pieces hanging from each other rotated faster until the rope and the iron pieces were not visible to the naked eye.

All he could see was a giant arrow shaped like a javelin, dragging a round, translucent shield, flying through the air!

Thirty so-called intercepting giant arrows are thirty giant arrows, dragging thirty translucent circular giant shields, straight towards the enemy's thousands of arrows!

But before they collided, the enemy's tens of thousands of arrows began to appear as a large-scale ballistic deviation, and even the phenomenon of being blown away.

Finally, they collided.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, who were full of horror, the thousands of arrows that were originally coming to the city wall were either unable to fall, or they turned back, and none of the arrows continued to come towards the city wall.

Before the wide-eyed Northern Yuan soldiers could react, their archers were killed and injured by their own arrow rain about a thousand people.

"How is this possible?"

"What the hell is this?"

"What the hell is this?"

In the Northern Yuan Archer array, there were voices of despair everywhere.

Because they know that their only long-range weapon is useless, and they can only continue to pave the way with their lives!

On the wall of Yanmen Guanzhongmen, there was a sound of cheers, and the soldiers also experienced the joy of 'building happiness on the pain of others'!

The only people on the city wall who didn't cheer were Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, because they were in the shock of intercepting the giant arrow.

Finally, they came to their senses.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, and immediately asked General Li: "General Li, what the hell is going on?" ”

General Li looked at General Guo in front of him, because this General Guo reminded him that the enemy was waiting for the wind, which made him give the order in time enough.

Because of this, he knows everything.

General Li said politely: "Master Ye said that this is the product of using the 'wind spiral'!" ”

"But I don't know the specific technology, it's all in the hands of Lord Ye and the Arsenal Technology Department!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he only felt that saying it was equivalent to saying it in vain.

"Kill!"

"Sons, as long as you rush into the city, the wealth, food, and women are all yours!"

“.”

At this moment, the Northern Yuan general issued the final military order, he asked everyone to give up the bow and arrow and the bow and crossbow bed, and rush for their lives!

Finally, they rushed to the maximum range of the artillery.

After another round of 100 cannon fires, the cannon also began to fire in three stages.

After the baptism of 10,000 enemies and artillery arrays, the 'snow and dust explosion' that was still oncoming was almost half narrowed.

After General Li saw this scene, he also frowned slightly and said: "Ten thousand enemies and artillery, after all, they can't be completely consumed, and they have to rely on the sea of fire in the air." ”

A moment later, the first row of infantry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty rushed into the stone wall maze array.

At the same time, the bow and crossbow beds, which were modified with three arrow slots, also began their free fire.

The trebuchet array in the city is also ready to launch the sea of fire array in the air, and it is only necessary to give an order to launch all of them.

The soldiers knew that in terms of the number of enemies, no matter what, they would not be able to completely consume the long-range weapons, and after all, there would be a contradictory rejection of the Northern Yuan infantry attacking the city.

At this moment, the contradictory soldiers of the Horse Rejection Formation and the sword and shield soldiers behind them also cheered up the spirit of the twelve.

But at this very moment,

Those more than a thousand veterans who didn't dare to take the avenue because they were afraid of being known by Ye Qing, and could only take the forest path, appeared outside the gate of the Yanmen Pass Zhongmen camp together.

At the same time, a soldier hurriedly ran to General Li and said, "General, the veterans of the whole county are here." ”

"They want to ask for battle, but our people can't stop them, and several of them have already been knocked down."

When General Li heard this, he was also the first two big.

How did the group of ancestors who either lived in a nursing home or received subsidies at home came?

"I can't do anything about this group of ancestors, so hurry up and report back to Lord Ye."

"Only Lord Ye can make up his mind about this matter!".

Ask for the support of the officials, ask for the support of monthly passes and recommended tickets, thank you!
