Chapter 301: Bows and Arrows to Establish Power (Please vote and subscribe)
〔300 chapters, please give me flowers\^O^/〕
Just because they can't touch the wall doesn't mean they can't attack. You have to know that the bows and arrows and spears in their hands are not firewood sticks. Although there are not many bows and arrows, only about half of the 1,200-strong team has bows and arrows, but it is definitely more than the bows and arrows in Hanyang City.
Well, it's not accurate to say that. It should be that there are more bows than the first army in Hanyang City, but when it comes to the number of arrows in reserve, hehe, it's not even in the same order of magnitude.
Each of the cannibal archers only has about 20 to 30 arrows, and the quality is very low. There are very few arrows with feathers attached to the tail, and there are no arrowheads. Their arrowheads are burned into carbonization and then directly ground into a pointed shape. As for the arrow shafts, those that can be made straight are already considered amazing.
You have to know that the arrows they imitated were the first generation of the most basic arrows invented by Luo Chong. At that time, Luo Chong himself had no metal to use, and the arrows he used had no arrowheads. The only difference was that the tail of the arrow was glued with feathers of the terror bird, and the arrow shaft was straighter. The rest was really no different from what the enemies were using now.
Let's talk about the giant ape under the city. After the giant ape that failed to jump over the wall fell into the water, it soon tried again unwillingly. This time it retreated a long distance and then jumped towards the city wall again. The only difference from the last time was that the first army on the city wall was also prepared this time.
Just when the giant ape jumped high and was about to fly over a height of five meters, several warriors holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the arrow stacks of the city wall, and Du Er was among them.
"Shoot!"
Under Du Er's loud command, five arrows shot straight at the giant ape's chest. With five muffled thuds, all of them hit the bull's eye. Each arrow pierced deeply into the giant ape's chest from different angles. Two of them even stuck out half of the back, shooting the giant ape straight through.
What is this distance? The highest position of the arrow stack is only 7 meters high. The giant ape suddenly jumped up from below and flew to a height of 5 meters. Therefore, the actual shooting distance of Du Er and his team is about 3 or 4 meters. At such a close distance, they still used a powerful bow such as a standard longbow. The arrows were also very sharp copper arrowheads. Even if the giant ape's body was thick, it would not be difficult to shoot it straight through.
Two of the five arrows penetrated the body. The remaining three did not penetrate because the angle was a bit biased. They were all shot from the side. Although they failed to penetrate the torso, the arrows were completely immersed. The damage to the internal organs inside can be imagined.
The giant ape, which had suffered a fatal blow, fell down with a miserable howl before it even touched the city wall, and fell into the moat with a plop. It struggled in the water for a few times, and it seemed to have broken an arrow from its back. Then it kicked its legs twice and stopped moving, slowly sinking into the moat. After the water surface returned to calm, a string of bubbles emerged from below, bringing up a lot of blood, dyeing the river red.
The carnivorous fish in the river seemed to have smelled the fishy smell of blood, and soon swarmed in, biting the giant ape's body frantically.
This sudden change stunned all the enemy troops below, and even the other red-haired giant apes stared at the red river water for a while.
The first army on the city wall saw such a red-haired giant monster, and they killed one of them at the first sight. The morale was immediately boosted, and they all cheered loudly.
"The Han Dynasty is mighty, the Han Dynasty will win, the Han Dynasty is mighty, the Han Dynasty will win"
Loud slogans rang out one after another on the top of the city wall, gradually becoming uniform and inspiring. Several archers who had just successfully shot the giant ape were also gathered together, accepting the praise and admiration of the tribesmen.
The cheers on the top of the city wall also shocked the enemy troops below who had been in shock. The two giant apes, not knowing whether they were angry or sad, roared and jumped into the moat, then worked together to drive away the fish, dragged the bodies of their own kind out of the water, and injured several big fish that refused to let go.
The two giant apes grabbed the big fish from the body and threw it hard to the top of the city wall, but no one was hit, and the soldiers dodged it one after another.
Other giant apes also ran over, surrounded the body and kept shouting loudly, and some even pulled out the arrows of the Han tribe from the body, and broke them into two pieces with a force of both hands.
Seeing the corpses of their own kind, the other giant apes seemed to be crazy, and they also started running under the city, trying to fly to the top of the city wall and kill the murderers holding bows and arrows.
Seeing this situation, Ying Rui and Du Er also quickly arranged their troops and put all the archers behind the arrow stacks. When the giant apes in groups leaped over again, the archers also released deadly arrows.
There was another round of muffled sound of "pu pu pu". This time, the 23 giant apes that launched the attack together were all hit by arrows and fell down. Some of them were killed on the spot with several arrows, and some were not seriously injured. After falling into the water, they quickly climbed to the shore, and then pulled out the arrows with their white fangs.
Every time the arrow was pulled out, it would always take off two taels of flesh, or the original wound would be enlarged several times, bleeding profusely. Even if they did not die immediately, they would probably not live long.
The bronze arrows of the Han tribe were all barbed. If you pulled them out after being shot, it would definitely cause secondary damage. But there was nothing you could do about it. The damned would not live long. There was no need to sympathize with anyone in front of the enemy. If they had not come to attack Hanyang City, they would not have ended up like this.
For arrow wounds, if they were penetrating wounds, it was best not to pull out the arrow directly. Instead, you should break the arrow from the back and then pull the remaining half out from the back. In this way, the wound would not be damaged again, leaving only a small hole, and finally plugging the two ends would be fine.
For those who were not shot directly through, they could only pull out the arrows with pain, but it was not certain whether they could recover from such a serious injury.
This round of confrontation ended with the failure of the giant ape again. The giant ape, who suffered huge losses, calmed down and did not continue to climb the wall desperately. The wall was too high and it could not climb up. In the end, it could only reluctantly accept its fate.
But this did not affect their use of other methods of attack. I don't know who among these totem warriors gave the order, but 600 archers gathered 20 meters below the city wall, and then took out their crude bows and arrows, shooting at the first army on the wall.
