The first layer of Dongchu City has been full of gunsmoke, and the grassland people broke through the city gate and attacked the city, which can be said to have made a good start, but this is actually a difficult beginning. As I said before, the biggest advantage of the steppe people is that all the people are soldiers, and they are cavalry. They take advantage of the high mobility of their horses and come and go freely. This is also a problem that Da Yi has been having a headache for so many years.

However, the high mobility of the cavalry was limited by the field, and once the storm into the city and get into street fighting, the mobility of the horses was negated. Da Zhen and the grassland people stopped fighting, stopped fighting, and several times the grassland people invaded the city, but also quickly retreated, not daring to entangle with the Da Zhen army.

At this time, in the Eastern Chu City, the grassland people will also fall into the same situation.

The first to the second floor, although connected by a rear passage, requires a staircase to go uphill. The cavalry has always taken advantage of the situation to charge down from a high place, exerting the maximum impact of the chiseling army. How could any cavalry charge from the bottom up? Moreover, it was not a flat slope, but a step. Riding the stairs is more dangerous than stumbling. Even the most experienced riders and the brightest horses should be cautious and take their course. If you forcibly rush up, isn't that looking for death?

The grassland people were able to break through the city gate so quickly, and it was inseparable from the infighting between the Ning and Chu families, so it can be said that the grassland people picked up a big bargain. But Eastern Chu City has been able to stand in the east of Qiangzhou for so many years, and it is not a vegetarian. Even if Ning Tao and Chu Yingxuan had a grudge against killing their son, under the threat from outside, they would temporarily put aside their hatred and join forces to retreat from the enemy.

The counterattack power of Eastern Chu City soon emerged.

The steppe people thought of a quick victory, and rode through the streets on horseback. And the weapons of the guards of Eastern Chu City against them were bows and crossbows. Bows and crossbows are also forbidden in Dazhen, but they can still be obtained in Dongchu City. Not only can it be obtained, but it is also armed to each family in a standardized manner. Of course, these bows and crossbows are a grade behind the strong bows and crossbows used by the Great Commanders, and they are the old styles that the Great Commanders have eliminated.

Grassland and Yebai, there is no general who will be the supervisor of the ordnance department. In the field of armament development, Da Zhen has always been a leader in the world. Here we have to mention another very key sect - Tianji Palace.

Tianji Palace was once divided into Qi Sect and Instrument Sect, the Qi Sect mainly cultivated the Tianluo Silk Wrapping Hand, supplemented by organs, and the Instrument Sect focused on organ techniques and martial arts cultivation as a supplement. Between the two, there is a struggle between the two. The mechanism technique of the instrument sect is originally a number of rivers and lakes, and it cannot be climbed into the hall of elegance. But after being admitted to the imperial court as a prisoner, it was full of new vitality. Integrate the essence of the mechanism into the research and development of armaments. The Privy Councillor who originally proposed this idea was criticized by the Imperial Historical Observatory for being whimsical, but ten years later, if you look at it, the development of the Great Commander's military equipment will be a great contribution.

Three years ago, the steppe people, as usual, came to Da Zhen territory to dig a dozen grass valleys before the arrival of winter. They still thought that Da Zhen still had no way to take them. Then, they saw the hundred-step crossbow and the continuous bed crossbow. It was the first time that the steppe people lost ninety percent of their soldiers in the operation of the grass valley.

After that, the fact that the Sect was absorbed by the Dayun Imperial Court spread across the northern grasslands and the Yebai Kingdom. The steppe people were particularly interested in the crossbows, especially those that were armed with short crossbows. Because the grassland has long combined the mobility of rangers with the lethality of bows and crossbows, forming archers that can ride and slash at close and throw at a distance. But it is not an easy task to use a bow and arrow on the back of a bumpy horse. Accuracy and lethality can only be mastered if you are born with talent and after continuous practice. It is precisely because it is not easy to master the riding and archery, so in the grassland, only the Golden Horde and the apologists have established bow horses, which is also the killer weapon of the steppe people.

But if you replace the bow with a short crossbow that can be held, then the situation is completely different. It can be aimed and shot with one hand, which is easy to reload and greatly improves efficiency. And the other hand is free, you can manipulate the reins, or hold a double crossbow, which doubles the lethality.

Therefore, the grassland people once sent people to Dayun to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tianji Palace Instrument Sect, thinking that they must take the general as a prison craftsman or a disciple of the Tianji Palace Instrument Sect to the grassland.

It's a pity that the incorporation of the imperial court has completely intensified the contradiction between the two sects of Tianji Palace, and there are also differences within the sect. Later, there was a ghost genius Wei Daoquan who developed the technique of human figurines, so that the Tianji Palace Instrument Sect completely became an existence that everyone shouted and beat in the rivers and lakes.

Now, in addition to the old turtle who escaped from the prison god prison, and Tang Yizhi, who followed the hidden red lady. There are almost no named heirs of the Instrument Sect.

Therefore, whether it is the grassland, Yebai, or Nanyang, they all know that Dazhen's armament is easy to use, but they can't find the right person to develop their own armament. I can only settle for the next best thing and buy some equipment that has been replaced by the big ones.

As a place of circumference and six voids, Dongchu City is naturally close to the water and the moon first. The five hundred guards stood up the second step, and they were divided into five teams, one with shields, one with swords, and the other three took turns shooting under the cover of the first two teams.

Crossbow arrows were fired, and the steppe people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. In addition, some people took advantage of the terrain to kill from both sides, and used cold arrows to check and fill in the gaps, and for a while, the casualties of the steppe people who rushed here from the city gate increased greatly.

"Woooooooooo Before the defending guards could breathe a sigh of relief, a low horn sounded. From the end of the long street, a different group of cavalry slowly appeared.

The horses they rode were a head taller than the steppe people they had just ridden, and they were covered in iron armor. They themselves are bare-chested, which looks very weird. The source of the weirdness is not only the unarmored Chi Luo, but also the light that emanates from his body.

Chandiago shone with a blue light, and the source of the light was clear without the cover of clothing. The light came from their bodies, their skin, and their skin, with its magnificent and strange patterns.

That's the power that shamanism gives to the apologetic knights, that power, it's called ripples. As long as the ripples are engraved on the body, the true qi in the body can be induced and the powerful potential of the human body can be stimulated. What's more, it can also echo and connect with other people's ripples.

"In the name of Riley, the ice god!!!" said Shandiago, lowering his body and picking up his speed. Behind him, a group of Guardian Knights glowed with the same light as Shang Diago.

The azure blue converged and turned into a sharp arrow, heading towards the steps of the second floor.
