"Boom Boom !!"

As Jing Qi and a group of soldiers quickly drove the wooden pole to piston movement with unicorn arms, the bowstring exploded like a lit firecracker!

The small hand crossbow shoots crossbow arrows at high frequencies at a rate of two rounds per second.

With every breath, two thousand and four crossbow arrows shot wildly towards Su Jiao's department like a storm.

This is a metal storm that belongs to Da Chu!

"Ahh My eyes! ”

"Where is the shield? Shieldman, come on! ”

"Stand back! Stand back! ”

The distance between Sujiao and Jingqi is only more than ten zhang.

But even this distance of more than ten zhang is like a moat!

A Qin soldier fell to the ground like an arrow from harvested wheat, wailing and screaming.

After five breaths, the sound of the bowstring popping stopped.

Only five hundred and one people have poured 10,000 and twenty crossbow arrows on the Qin army in five breaths!

All the troops in front of Su Jiao's headquarters were lying or lying or squatting, and no one was standing.

Only Qin Jun, who was standing twenty zhang away, looked at each other with a frightened face!

Jing Qi smiled softly: "Order the left and right wings to encircle and kill!" ”

Looking at the Chu army that was killing from both sides, Su Jiao's eyes were red and he shouted angrily: "Soldiers, line up to meet the enemy!" ”

However, in the face of the Qin army who stood up again, Jing Qi took down the empty arrow box with a mistake of both hands.

Throwing the empty arrow box to the baggage soldiers not far behind him to reload, Jing Yu took out an arrow box full of arrows from the pouch on the horse's back with his right hand and loaded it on the hand crossbow.

The metal storm is sweeping again!

The Qin army, which had just formed a formation, was once again cut down, and the Chu army effortlessly slaughtered into the Qin army's formation, harvesting the lives of the Qin army!

At the head of Anling City, Ying Chengcheng unconsciously stepped forward, leaned out of the city wall with his upper body, and stared at the battlefield with his eyes.

Ying Chengcheng had heard of the power of Chu Crossbow for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to see the real thing.

It wasn't until today that I opened my eyes.

But Ying Chengcheng would rather not open this eye!

Meng Nan exclaimed: "Everyone in the world says that Qin's crossbow is like thunder, and Chu's crossbow is like rain. ”

"When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true!"

Qin's crossbow is heavy armor breaking, and Han's crossbow is heavy range, but no matter which direction the crossbows of Qin, Han, Zhao and other northern countries focus on, they all point their skills in the three directions of range, armor breaking, and strength.

To achieve this, the Qin army's largest single heavy crossbow was six and a half feet (150 cm) long, and the heavy arrow was three feet (69 cm) long!

This is because the territory of the northern countries is mainly open plains, and the battles of various countries are basically fought by large corps, and the battlefield is endless, and the longer the range, the faster you can attack the enemy, and you can even fly the kite of the enemy's crossbowman.

However, the topography of Chu, Wu, Yue and other southern countries is dominated by hills, mountains and dense forests.

The advantages of the northern heavy crossbow have become disadvantages in the south.

How to carry a heavy crossbow more than a meter long on your back to climb over mountains and mountains in the mountains?

What's the point of having such a long range? It's all going to hit the trunk!

The armor rate of the southern soldiers is much lower than that of the north, so what's the point of having such a strong armor-piercing ability?

Therefore, the crossbows of Chu, Wu, Yue and other southern countries went to another route.

The extreme of this route is the Chu State crossbow.

The effective killing range of the Chu State repeater is only ten zhang (23.1 meters), and the length of the crossbow arrow is only six inches (13.8 cm), and the force cannot penetrate the leather armor, but it can be held with one hand, open the string with one hand, and shoot intensively, but it has brought its flexibility and attack speed to the limit!

Everyone in the world knows Zhuge repeater.

But more than 400 years before Zhuge Liang was born, the State of Chu had already developed a repeater with an arrow capacity twice as high as Zhuge Repeater, and completed the installation!

The world thinks that ancient arrows were clustered with metal and wood as rods.

But the state of Chu has long been using all-metal crossbows with copper clusters and iron tails!

In later generations, the power of the Chu crossbow was completely covered by the dust of history, and the world only knew the Qin crossbow.

But today, the Chu crossbow at the peak of his life has completed a Chu-style conjunction!

Ying Chengyun said in a cold voice: "Chu crossbow is solid and brave, but this place is the north!" ”

"It's not Chu Xuan's turn yet!"

Ying Chengcheng had no intention of arguing about the merits of the Qin crossbow and the Chu crossbow.

Because although they are the same crossbow, they are like sniper rifles and pistols that are both firearms.

In the vast battlefield, it is natural to choose a sniper rifle, but if it is in the rainforest, it is undoubtedly necessary to choose a pistol.

And Anling City is precisely an open battlefield!

Ying Cheng shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!" ”

"Urge Su Jiao's department to move on!"

"Raise the flag and make the heavily armored generals of Su Jiao's department stand in front and block the crossbow arrows for the whole army!"

"Order Zhang Xiao's troops to assemble in the North City Gate!"

"Order the Mengnan Department to immediately go out of the city to reinforce the Su Jiao Department!"

Meng Nan suddenly gave up his hand: "Only! ”

"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

On the battlefield, the drums of war are beating.

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were stunned by the crossbow of the Chu army, subconsciously looked back at Anling City.

Looking at the flag words played by the herald, Su Jiao's eyes widened.

The general ordered these generals to block the soldiers with their flesh and blood, and block the arrow rain of the Chu army for the soldiers?

The herald must have confused 'first battalion' with 'general'!

However, when the herald waved the same flag for the second time, Su Jiao finally confirmed that the herald's order was not wrong.

Ying Chengcheng really wants to let these generals block the arrows!

If you change to another general, you will definitely be extremely entangled.

But Su Jiao just shouted after confirming that it was correct: "Even the generals above the armor, all come forward!" ”

"The short body holds a shield to provide cover for the robes!"

During the drink, Su Jiao snatched the shield in the hand of a shield soldier and ran towards Jing Qi's short body first.

The other generals all looked frightened.

But looking at Su Jiao, who was already in the lead, the second son of the tun chief snorted: "His mother, how can I let Su two or five hundred lords die alone?" ”

snatched the shield, and the second child also rushed out with Su Jiao.

The ex-husband of the hundred generals also broke off and said: "The order has been issued, how can I retreat?" ”

"It's just death, dog, give me the shield, take care of my family on my behalf!"

Su Jiao and Ying Chengcheng's prestige in the army exploded at this moment.

Hearing the marching drums and seeing Su Jiao charging, a famous general broke away from the protection of the soldiers and charged towards the front of the army.

Jing Qi's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Volley!" ”

During the drinking order, Jing Yu picked up the unicorn arm again, grabbed the wooden pole and began to piston movement.

"Bang Bang!"

The sound of explosions rang out again.

This time, however, there was a crisp crashing sound.

Most of the arrows were shot on the Qin army's square shield, but many arrows were also shot at Su Jiao.

Feeling a pain in his right arm, Su Jiao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

As a result, I saw a small pit in my coat, but there was no shadow of an arrow!

Su Jiao was slightly stunned: "The crossbow arrow of the Chu army can't pierce armor?" ”

The three-edged structure at the tip of the Chu crossbow arrow can cause the enemy to bleed and die after piercing the flesh.

For the unarmored soldiers, this is a nightmare weapon.

But for the armor soldiers?

That's it!

Su Jiao suddenly shouted: "The arrows of the Chu army are not enough to pierce the armor, so the commander ordered me to wait for the generals of the armor to charge!" ”

"Robes, shield the unarmored place and accelerate the charge!"

Hearing this, the generals of the Qin army were all excited.

The manager is not asking us to die.

It's because the enemy's arrows are simply not enough to help us!

There is no fear in my heart, and my feet are a little faster.

Before starting to run, the distance of ten zhang was like a moat.

But when they started running, the distance was fleeting!

Looking at the Qin army that was getting closer and closer, Jing Yu unwillingly put down his crossbow and shouted loudly: "Collect the crossbow, hold the halberd!" ”

The three hundred soldiers quickly hung their crossbows back on their waists and picked up their halberds with their backhands.

A Qin Juntun commander laughed heartily: "Chu crossbow? It's just a tickling toy! ”

As he spoke, the commander threw away his shield and clenched his spear to slaughter the Quartet.

However, the soldiers of the Jing Qi family standing in front of him suddenly flashed to the sides, revealing the crossbow-wielding soldiers hiding in the rear.

"Boom Boom !!"

The three family soldiers repeatedly pulled their crossbows and spit out a rain of arrows at the commander!

More than seventy percent of the arrow rain was blocked by the armor on the commander's body, but two crossbow arrows pierced his eye sockets.

He didn't even have time to shout his last words before he fell straight to the ground.

"Idiot!" Su Jiao scolded angrily, and stopped drinking: "No one is allowed to throw away the shield!" ”

"Be sure to cover your legs and your face!"

"Command the spearmen to speed up at once!"

However, Su Jiao said this, but he made a gesture to throw away the shield in his hand.

Seeing that Su Jiao's empty door was wide open, the soldiers standing in front of Su Jiao immediately flashed to both sides, revealing the crossbow-wielding soldiers further behind.

At the same time that the soldiers of the Jing Qi family pulled the wooden pole, Su Jiao quickly pulled back the shield in front of him, and at the same time rushed forward with his short body, breaking through the gap in the halberd forest to the front of the Chu army.

"Boom~~"

Listening to the sound of the bowstring exploding, Su Jiao muttered in his mouth: "One, two...... Twenty! ”

At the moment of reading the twentieth moment, Su Jiao let go of his right hand, threw away the spear, and immediately stretched out his right hand to his waist and drew his sword out of its sheath.

The shield was lifted in his left hand, and the Qin Sword in his right hand had swept diagonally upward.

"Kill!"

In the midst of the roar, a great head rose to the sky!

Looking at the stunned gazes of several crossbow-wielding soldiers in front of him and the hands that were changing the arrow magazine, Su Jiao's face was hideous: "It's just that you guys are shooting a lot of guns?!" ”

"Death to Naion!"

In a rage, Su Jiao stabbed the crossbow-wielding soldier with the sword in his hand!

Seeing this, the ex-husband broke off and drank: "Follow the two or five hundred masters, rush to kill!" ”

During the shouting, a group of generals followed closely behind Su Jiao, quickly filling the gap that Su Jiao had killed.

Jing Yu did not hesitate to shout the order: "The soldiers retreat, the halberd soldiers step forward!" ”

At the cost of the lives of more than 100 soldiers, the soldiers and halberders completed the rotation.

It is obvious that the generals above the rank of the commander fought hard with the grassroots foot soldiers of the Chu army.

Su Jiao no longer continued to chase and kill, and after picking up his spear, he shouted an order: "The shield hands are divided into three sides, and there are two layers of shield arrays, one shield on the top and one shield on the bottom!" ”

It was clear that the Qin army was the attacker.

But under the threat of the elusive Chu crossbow, Su Jiao had to put on a defensive formation.

However, even so, Su Jiao's purpose has been achieved.

After all, Su Jiao's department is not fighting alone!

Jing Qi's department has always been within the range of the Qin crossbow.

While Su Jiao's troops were struggling to resist, the crossbowmen at the head of the city had been shooting deadly arrows at the Chu army!

Looking at Meng Nan's department, which had already poured out of the city gate, Su Jiao broke off and shouted: "Hold on!" ”

"Hold off the enemy and win!"

In the city gate cave, Ying Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and exclaimed excitedly: "Well done!" ”

"The soldiers obey the order and go out of the city with Ben!"

Five thousand soldiers followed Ying Chengcheng and rushed out of the city, but did not march to Su Jiao's department, but lined up in the southeast direction of the city gate, facing Zhao Huang's department head-on.

Ying Cheng rode his horse and stood at the front of his own soldiers, holding a halberd in his right hand, and his eyes looked directly at Zhao Yuan coldly: "Great Qin Chang'an Jun is here!" ”

"The enemy general will dare to fight with this king!"

The ancients' definition of a repeater was broader than that of today, for example, the repeater in "Mozi Bei Gaolin" fires dozens of arrows at a time, but it does not have an automatic reloading function, and needs to be manually reloaded. According to this definition, the Ming Dynasty three-eyed gun was also a repeating firearm (laughs). Therefore, Cheese personally believes that as long as a crossbow can fire two or more arrows at a time, it will be defined as a repeater in ancient times.

However, even if the definition is put to the widest, Cheese still does not find any record of Chu crossbow in any historical materials, but in the tomb of Qinjiazui, the physical object of Chu repeater crossbow was unearthed, compared to the historical materials that will be tampered with and burned, Cheese chooses to accept archaeological results.
