Under the flag of Qin Junshuai, Liang Cheng ’s eyes shone brightly, and his brother Liang Yun said bitterly: "Liu Jinu could actually use this method to block the flying stone siege. what should we do?"
Liang Cheng sneered: "Can he use cloth to prevent flying stones, can he still use this to prevent bed crossbows? Twenty bed crossbows are all for me, I see if he can use these rags to guard this time city!"
In front of more than a hundred trebuchets, the three thousand iron armor suddenly flashed out. The densely packed infantry phalanx was like a chopping wave. More than twenty parts were three or four feet long. The crowd showed up, and the bed crossbows were equipped with seven full horses, the middle foot was one foot long, like a giant axe, and the three vices on each side also had four or five. The length of the foot is the same as the long arrow of the crossbow machine in the eight-stone Benniu crossbow, the triangular arrow, shining in the cold light, and the feathers of the tail wings are also made of iron, which is daunting.
General Wang Yong rode a horse and patrolled these bed crossbows. This guy who was responsible for various mechanical warfare during the Yan Kingdom period. After Murong dropped into Qin, he was quickly reused. Wang Yong was designing these beds. When the crossbow was produced by him, it was the most appropriate for the chief architect to be responsible for the launch of these large-scale weapons.
The cold wind on the battlefield blew Wang Yong ’s beard hair, wrinkled the knife-and-whip wrinkles on his face, and more than twenty stepped crossbows were ready in front of him, five hundred steps away from the city. This was Liang Cheng. It was deliberately explained, and now everything is ready, just waiting for his order to launch.
Wang Yong slowly raised the big knife in his hand and violently went down. With this action of his, more than twenty-step bed crossbows began to roar at the same time, the sound was like thunder, the earth was shaking, every At the next launch, the bed crossbow will retreat to a distance of three feet. If it is not added with a pulley and derailment under its wooden chassis, I am afraid that such a launch will destroy the entire bed crossbow.
Wang Xian was wearing a leather armor, riding an inconspicuous thin horse, hiding behind the army formation, more than 700 steps away from the city wall, but this position, you can see the effect of the attack clearly, those fluttering The cloth cotton belts can't completely resist the vigorous firing of these bed crossbows, and these seven flying spears break the spear, the puncture power is unparalleled, these thick layers of cloth, the crossbow fired on these beds fly In front of it, it was like paper paste, it penetrated as soon as it was worn, and on the back of the city wall, it soon seemed to be nailed into the nail with a huge hammer, and it was plugged with dense and dense bars, and even some cracks appeared .
A volley shot down, and hundreds of poles were nailed on the opposite wall. Those fabrics were hit with holes, and some even hit the head directly, and the back of the wall wall There, some fabrics were hung down urgently to cover up the losses suffered by the city walls, but the discerning people still knew at a glance that this round of attacks had achieved a great effect on the ground.
With a smile on his face, Wang Yong gently twisted his beard: "How is it, Master Shi, see what is the ultimate killer, huh, what can Liu Jinu do with crossbow arrows at the head of the city, thinking I will Can't make a crossbow. Hehe hehe hehe. "
Wang Xian opened his mouth so much that he couldn't close. Although Wang Yong repeatedly told him how powerful this crossbow was, he didn't want to believe it until he saw it with his own eyes. Beyond his imagination. He swallowed a bit and said, "General Wang, you are too talented. It's my short-sightedness. I still don't believe you can make this out. I apologize to you and pay the penalty."
Wang Yong laughed and waved his hand: "Adult, you and I work together, it is not necessary to say this, but you know, why should I push these crossbows to a place five hundred steps away from the city wall?"
Wang Xian's eyes lit up: "Yeah, you can say that this thing can hit 700 steps, but five hundred steps is the range of the city's crossbow arrows. If the city sends these things, it can hit us. "
Wang Yong's eyes flashed coldly: "I just want them to fight back, so that I know where their killers are hiding, hum, as long as their position is exposed, these powerful fortified weapons are not easy to move, we Here you can use a catapult and a crossbow to destroy these fortified weapons. Do you understand? "
Wang Xian suddenly realized, nodded convincingly, and suddenly frowned again: "But, but our bed crossbow hit, what should we do? Didn't you say that there are only twenty of these things, one less than one? ? "
Wang Yong smiled and waved his hand: "Five hundred steps is the ultimate range of the eight-bow crossbow arrow, which is so easy to hit, unless it is downwind, it can fly here, but the strength is not enough, you see, I Let the sergeants who guard the bed crossbows are equipped with large iron shields. If a crossbow gun flies here, they will be blocked with iron shields. It should not hurt the bed crossbows. "
Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief: "Since that's the case, let's go to the front, so close to the commander, standing behind the array, always can't see clearly."
Wang Yong hooked the corner of his mouth, looked around, and whispered: "You are stupid, the bed crossbow can't hurt, but it can hurt us. The effect of the siege is within the range of other people. The soldiers are in danger. If they are killed by a crossbow gun, it will be too late to cry. "
Wang Xian smiled and shook his head: "General Wang, everything else is fine, but this is not good, too afraid of death, you are not as good as me as a literati. I have my men protecting you, you What are you afraid of? "Then, he waved his hand, and a black-faced guard next to him raised two giant iron rods with thick buffalo legs. He said:" There are really crossbow guns flying. Just knock it out. "
Wang Yong's face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "If they were to send out all kinds of crossbows, it would happen that they would fly to us in tens and eights. I'm afraid that the bravery of this strong man won't protect us. It ’s fine here, what do you have to do in front? "
Wang Xian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, today I have to protect you all the time, I am afraid that even siege building can't do it anymore. By the way, General Wang has already shot four or five rounds, there is nothing in the city. The reaction is to hang new cloths constantly, what do they want to do? "
Wang Yong's face changed slightly. He looked at the poles that had been densely covered on the city wall, and muttered to himself: "It's strange, why is the city head so quiet, it really doesn't fight back?" Huh, order, let the sergeant in front of me increase the shooting angle, hit his tower, I do n’t believe they can endure! "
