Chapter 485: The Yan army is here to deliver!
Although Fengzhou City had changed hands frequently before.
It can be seen that the siege strength of the Yan army should not be underestimated.
But at the moment, the morale of the Qin army is high, and the Yan army will inevitably suffer heavy losses in attacking the city.
Therefore, Li Shimin had the idea of retreating.
But at the moment, he felt it was a godsend opportunity.
"The latest weapon developed by the Qin army, that is, the artillery, has been obtained by our army to break it."
"They gave up their advantage in defending the city and insisted on engaging in a field battle with our army, simply relying on that artillery."
"Now, I will let the Qin army witness with their own eyes how I destroyed their artillery!"
Having said that, Li Shimin had made up his mind.
He gave the order immediately.
The entire army lined up and prepared to charge.
The cavalry was in front and the archers were behind.
The infantry and shield soldiers remain in place for the time being.
According to the intelligence Li Shimin knew, artillery was powerful, but limited by its attack range.
Difficult to fight in close quarters.
But shields cannot stop artillery.
The infantry moved slowly.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not plan to let these two types of troops charge for the time being.
There is no need to worry about the mobility of archers.
After all, the distance the arrow can be shot is still considerable.
However, no matter how far the attack range of the Yan army's arrows could be, it could never be farther than Zhuge Liang's crossbow.
Especially when they were still charging into battle, the Yan army's arrow attack power was at least reduced by half.
After the Yan army's formation was arranged properly.
Dong Zhuo and the others began to watch from afar, and at the same time, they spoke one after another:
"Has the Yan army not yet grasped our intelligence? Don't they know that we have large heavy crossbows?"
"Yes, the heavy crossbow developed by Kong Ming has an absolute restraining effect on cavalry, especially in field battles!"
"Looking at their posture, it's clear they're planning to send the cavalry charging!"
“…”
They are all battle-hardened generals.
As for the State of Yan, even if they just stick their butt out.
They can both tell whether the other person is about to poop or fart.
After a discussion, they lined up all the Zhuge crossbows.
Just then.
In the Yan army camp, loud trumpet sounds were heard.
They are about to charge!
Dong Zhuo promptly issued the order, "All troops, prepare for battle!"
The next moment.
The Qin soldiers who did not operate the large crossbow machines were seen with a small automatic crossbow tied to their hands.
This small crossbow also belongs to the Zhuge Crossbow, but compared with large crossbows, it is obviously more suitable for close combat.
Immediately following.
Li Shimin, the Emperor of Yan, personally ordered:
"My men of Dayan, today we must fight to wash away our shame!"
"You are the warriors and heroes of Dayan!"
"I will personally beat the drum to cheer you on, defeat the Qin army, and defend our country!"
"charge!"
moment.
Tens of thousands of Yan cavalry lined up in a row and rushed towards the Qin army.
Each of them is like a tiger coming down the mountain, with unstoppable power.
As the horses under their crotch continued to move forward, even the sand and stones on the ground began to roll.
Wherever he passed, even the mountains and rivers seemed to be nothing.
Judging from the situation, they are determined to engulf the entire Qin army before they will stop.
However, when Bai Qi, Dong Zhuo and other generals saw the Yan army rushing towards them, they were not at all panicked.
Their Zhuge Crossbows were already ready.
"Shoot!"
Seeing that the distance was enough, Dong Zhuo gave an order.
Instantaneous.
Countless arrows like spears were shot at the charging Yan army.
That huge arrow.
Once shot at the cavalry, there will be a powerful rush.
Shoot the cavalry directly through and send them flying.
As a result, the cavalry behind also suffered.
In just the first round of attack, more than half of the cavalry in the front row were lost.
So many people died at once.
They were all a little nervous, not knowing whether to charge or retreat.
They murmured:
"What is this? The Qin army's artillery? It's clearly an arrow or spear!"
"Brothers, keep charging! If it's this kind of spear, they'll waste a lot of time just installing a new one!"
"That's right, this time is enough for us to rush in front of them and kill them!"
“…”
However, what they never expected was.
The reason why Zhuge Crossbow was called a powerful weapon by Dong Zhuo and others was that it was called a powerful weapon.
Because it can fire continuously!
On average, a crossbow can fire at least ten shots in a row!
In other words, the power of a repeating crossbow is about ten times that of a large crossbow!
It is conceivable how powerful the lethality of this weapon is!
Just as the Yan cavalry reacted and chose to continue charging.
A large number of arrows were shot again.
At this moment, they were completely panicked.
Even the warhorse under him was a little frightened.
"How is this possible? How could the Qin army's arrows be so fast?"
"Don't panic, keep charging!"
"Your Majesty is watching us from behind!"
“…”
More and more Yan army soldiers stood up to stabilize the formation.
This prevented the Yan army from falling into chaos.
While beating the drum, Li Shimin also noticed the huge arrows of the Qin army.
He believed that although the Qin army was famous for the power of its arrows.
But there must not be many huge crossbows like that.
And assembling an arrow each time takes a lot of time.
