Chapter 807: I'm Just a Clown

There was a "buzz", a piercing tremor sound, followed by a strange whistling sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air, and then there was a "bang", a composite medium-sized bed crossbow shot three arrows, and the arrows that had directly annihilated the Nanyang war elephant troops in the South Seas once again showed their ferocious side in the Western Regions.

These Gaochang soldiers carried thick wooden-covered cowhide shields, which had no problem protecting against ordinary bows and arrows, but were as fragile as a baby's skin in the face of the arrows of this heavy bed crossbow.

Several wooden shields that were shot by the heavy crossbow arrows in the middle instantly exploded directly as if they had suffered some huge force, and the terrifying crossbow arrows directly pierced the soldiers' bodies after shooting through the shields, and the exploding wood chips even caused several soldiers around to suffer heavy injuries as well.

The terrifying consequence of the six hundred crossbow arrows was that a miserable scream instantly sounded outside the city, and the miserable scream frightened all the soldiers of Gaochang! Even more important were the Turks who were a little farther away, obviously outside the range of the bow and arrow, and were ready to suppress the city walls with their bows and arrows.

At least half of these crossbows were aimed at the Turks, who had no idea that there would be bed crossbows on the wall, and the focus was on the number of bed crossbows.

It's okay to say that the terrifying crossbow arrows hit the human body directly, and some of the crossbow arrows even directly crossed the body of the Turkic war horse.

In an instant, the neighing of the horses on the battlefield on the verge of death, the screams of the Turks echoed the screams of the Gaochang soldiers.

But before they could react, the second wave of crossbow arrows had already been wound in an instant, and another six hundred crossbow arrows attacked all the enemies like a storm!

Soon there was another scream from the city, this time Gaochang's soldiers already showed signs of collapse, not only Gaochang's soldiers, but even the Turks, many Turks subconsciously began to retreat.

Because this is a siege, they thought it was out of range, if it was on the plain, these Turks could rush to the enemy with their bravery, but not the siege! Rushing to the city isn't looking for death? Enemy bows and arrows can now damage them!

So there is only a way to retreat!

An Xinggui, who was standing on the city wall, watched this scene, although the weapon was theirs, he couldn't help but gasp. This thing...... Is it so powerful?

The number of bed crossbows used in the Central Plains Dynasty to defend the city is not much, mainly because the large bed crossbows are very bulky, even if the bed crossbows can be placed on the walls of some big cities, but because of the attack angle of the bed crossbows and the height of the female wall of the city wall, it is difficult for the bed crossbow to shoot the enemy's siege troops.

However, the bed crossbow designed by His Highness is not particularly heavy, and the bottom of it is supported by an iron tripod, and there is a special link device between the tripod and the bed crossbow, which allows it to not only rotate left and right, but also move up and down.

In addition, the height of the tripod can be adjusted so that it can shoot just enough through the battlements of the women's wall.

And its power, An Xinggui doesn't know how to describe it.

In the past, the bed crossbow of the Tang Dynasty had this power, and it was definitely not such a small and convenient size, and it was impossible to use it directly on the city wall so light. The crossbow arrows that can be used on the city wall are much less powerful than this, and the effect of bows and arrows is not too great when defending the city, and the winding speed is also slower.

But the power of this thing, this is simply God blocking and killing God, and Buddha should kill Buddha! No defense is useless, even Datang's own heavy cavalry can't stop the power of this crossbow arrow.

Unless it's a large, iron-clad wooden shield that's at least three inches thick can withstand its might, but that kind of wooden shield can't be resisted by man!

And these bed crossbows he uses now, this is not just for defending and besieging cities, this thing...... It can also be used in field battles! Because An Xinggui has seen those soldiers disassemble, its dismantling is very simple, if the dismantling is more thorough, a horse can carry two without any problems.

If this thing is carried by a horse for high-speed movement, this is an invincible weapon of destruction on the battlefield in the wild!

Just these 200 bed crossbows, if the enemy dares to charge intensively against An Xinggui's formation, if they shoot out once, it will be at least 600 lives! And even more than that! And the speed at which it is wound can be repeated once if a few more soldiers are arranged to take turns to wind it, or even ten seconds.

What kind of army can withstand such a death?

Anyway, Gaochang and the Turks can't bear it!

Ju Wentai's whole person is already stupid! Those terrifying crossbow arrows are like the Ten Temples of Yama! As an emperor who believed in Buddhism, Ju Wentai's whole body was cold at the moment, and he immediately thought of the ten halls of Yama in Buddhism.

However, he probably didn't know that in the land of China, the person in charge of death in the original mythology was not Yama, but the Emperor Xudu of the Netherworld.

Before the generals under Ju Wentai could react, Gaochang's soldiers and Turks had already been defeated, and everyone was desperately fleeing backwards, but the crossbow arrows on the city wall still shot a total of four rounds!

A total of 2,400 crossbow arrows, the damage caused by which at least a thousand corpses were left behind.

On the land in front of Igo Castle, the blood of more than a thousand people and nearly a hundred war horses dyed almost the entire ground reddish-brown.

Situation...... Froze.

Ju Wentai's whole person is stupid, how should he attack?

"General An, send a scout to give an order, and order the rear army to send 10,000 cavalry to detour from the foot of the south of the Tianshan Mountains and go around Ju Wentai's back, I'm afraid he won't dare to fight, or that he will soon retreat." Li Daozong looked at the Gaochang army in the distance below, and finally controlled the fleeing soldiers, and spoke.

"And do we still test it?" An Xinggui was a little speechless, didn't His Highness let the weapon be tested.

"Forget it, the enemy doesn't cooperate, order the army behind to test the tactics of the archers, anyway, we have enough arrows in our hands." Li Daozong thought about it, and was somewhat helpless, testing the weapon, it must be better for the enemy to be weaker than you, so that no matter how you test the weapon, it will not overturn.

But again, the enemy is weak...... Once you gain the advantage, the enemy won't play with you, after all, no one is a fool, you know that you can't beat and still fight, this thing is fatal if you lose!

Looking at Gaochang and the Turkic army in the distance, An Xinggui felt that what Li Daozong said made sense, and estimated that Ju Wentai would not play with them.

Ju Wentai is a completely polarized person, arrogant and arrogant more arrogant than anyone else, I always feel that he is the first in the sky, timid as a mouse, that is really faster than a rabbit.

Just like what Li Daozong and An Xinggui guessed, Ju Wentai was stunned.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?? Am I not a clown?
