Chapter 255: That's All
We are hunters, they are prey, why do you feel like a frightened bird now?
You say the other party is abnormal, but I think you are abnormal.
"Dugulou, you seem to have a good relationship with little prince Moluo." Bu He suddenly said coldly.
"I don't understand the meaning of your words, Lord Bu He." Dugu Lou said in a deep voice with a flash in his eyes.
"Why do you still have to tell me clearly? I'm afraid you're taking advantage of Moro by talking nonsense like this? We can solve the problem with a single charge, but you have to divide your troops to chase each other... Then I ask you Whose people should they send? And what if there is an ambush along the way?" Bu He sneered.
"Haha, that's not good, I'm all to blame for talking too much, I'm done talking here, it's up to Prince Wanyan and the princes to decide whether to listen or not!" Dugu Lou turned his horse's head and left directly.
"Mr. Dugu, please wait a moment, let's..." Before Wanyan Pingqiu could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the enemy line...
He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw thousands of crossbow arrows, which were as thick as spears, suddenly shot out from the cart in front of the opponent's formation. The voice of the sky.
Because the wings of these crossbow arrows are made of bamboo pieces and feathers, yellow and white, it looks a bit like a tiger's tail, and a small piece of iron lump is added to the arrow part for counterweight, which looks a bit like a beast head.
The sound of the crossbow bolts was also extremely weird, like a tiger roaring lowly, so the ballista soldiers gave these crossbow bolts a very imposing name, called tiger head crossbows!
"Be careful, Prince!" A guard beside him yelled and pushed him off his horse. A tiger-head crossbow arrow shot at his saddle, pierced the horse he was riding on, and firmly nailed it to the ground!
Bu He beside him was not as lucky as him. Another tiger-headed crossbow flew over and directly penetrated his thigh. It was so powerful that it knocked him to the ground, and the arrow pierced through his thigh. In the soil, the arrow feathers at the tail were still vibrating violently, smashing his flesh and bones into pieces, causing him to cry out in pain, crying for his father and mother!
Wanyan Pingqiu's front army was more than 200 steps away from the enemy's formation, which couldn't be shot by any longbow or crossbow, so they didn't put up any shield formation at all for defense, they just wanted to smash the opponent down in one go up.
And their location was 300 steps away from the Wuluolan camp, which was a distance of more than 500 meters, and it was actually within the effective range of the ballista.
The tiger-headed crossbow really deserves its reputation, its lethality is comparable to that of a tiger!
The most frightening thing is that this is a Liannu, a rapid fire is eight rounds, it is just that the wave has not subsided, and the wave is coming again...
When the tiger head crossbow was fired, there were actually dozens of soldiers from the Xianbo Death Squad still alive.
But Zhuge Xiaosheng resolutely ordered the launch, because now the opponent's formation is disordered and chaotic, and it is the best time for the tiger head crossbow to cause maximum damage.
Not to be missed.
So when he gave the order to launch, Wu Luolan, Qiu Muling and other fresh soldiers did not make a sound, they just watched helplessly.
They also knew that Zhuge Xiaosheng was doing the right thing, but...
The tiger-headed crossbow on this side suddenly showed great power, but Wanyan Pingqiu on the other side was caught off guard, and immediately suffered heavy casualties!
Hastily withdrew a mile away, and couldn't help being dumbfounded after the inspection was broken, and more than 7,000 people were killed or killed in just such a short while!
Only about 3,000 people were killed by the Xianbo Death Squad, and the rest were all injured by the rounds of crossbow arrows just now!
What the hell is this new type of weapon that is so powerful?
I took a tiger-headed crossbow to check, and I was even more surprised. The weight of this tiger-headed crossbow is about ten catties, and it is heavy in the hand. How powerful is the bowstring to shoot it, and it can be shot so far ?
The arrowhead was made of iron, and the arrow shaft was cut from sylvestris pine, and there was a small iron lump three inches away from the arrowhead. This should be the counterweight added for the arrow's flight balance.
Four pieces of bamboo fixed wings are installed on the arrow tail, and there are some feathers on it to maintain the stability of the rear of the arrow.
Awesome, this thing, who the hell figured it out?
He has seen large crossbows before, but this is the first time he has seen such a large one, and it can be mounted in a cart for uninterrupted continuous shooting... The person who invented this mechanism must be a genius!
Although there were nearly 7,000 casualties, for Wanyan Pingqiu's 100,000-strong army, they hadn't been hurt, just lost a little bit of skin.
Immediately ordered the reorganization of the army, and ordered all the carts to be pushed to the front of the formation. These carts wrapped in thick waterproof cowhide are extremely strong, and crossbow arrows must not be able to penetrate them.
More than 10,000 cavalry followed the cart, all of them stepped on their stirrups and leaned on the side of the horse's back to avoid the crossbow arrows shot from above the cart.
Although the speed of this attack is relatively slow, as long as you can approach the opponent's camp with a hundred steps, a single charge can completely destroy it!
This method of attack was really effective. Although the tiger head crossbow was very powerful, it couldn't shoot through heavy carts.
Three rounds of shooting shot the hundreds of carts in the front row like hedgehogs, but the cavalry behind them hardly suffered any damage.
Seeing this, Zhuge Xiaosheng immediately ordered to stop firing, and all infantry were ready for close combat...Who is that, where is Lu Fei?
"The end is here!" Lu Fei on the side responded.
"I heard that you begged Brother Crazy to make a lot of brimstone rockets for you Habayashi Guard?" Zhuge Xiaosheng asked casually.
"Returning to the general, there are not many. The main reason is that we don't have time, so we asked Gongsunban and the others to help make about 2,000 of them. They have only tested a few times and have not yet experienced actual combat." Lu Fei said hastily.
"Then let's test it in actual combat. When the enemy army enters the range, I will shoot all two thousand rockets out at once, and burn their sons of bitches!" Zhuge Xiaosheng only occasionally swears when he is commanding a battle, because this It will be very uplifting.
"Shoot all of them?" Lu Fei was still a little bit reluctant, "I'm still thinking about saving it and going back to burn their granary."
"Huh? How dare you disrespect this general's order! Where is the Chinese army?" Zhuge Xiaosheng was furious. He really thought that you were the leader of the boss's guards, and this general could not command you?
"The last general dare not, the last general obeys orders, brothers, follow me to the front of the formation!" Lu Fei hurriedly agreed loudly.
He led the 600 forest guards and trotted all the way to the front of the formation, took a low profile and half-kneeled on the ground behind the cart, took out all the rockets and prepared them, and listened to my orders.
Be careful, everyone, I don't say lighting the fire, no one is allowed to mess with the fire, don't set yourself on fire before the other party burns it!
He himself climbed onto the ballista to observe the other party's situation. Three hundred steps is still not within our range, so keep on keeping on, don't worry.
Two hundred steps, wait a minute, one hundred and fifty steps...
