There were too many Shatu people inside the Baishiguan city wall, and they were packed tightly together like sardines in a can. In this situation, even if a blind man came with a crossbow and pulled the trigger, he would be able to hit someone. What's more, if a normal person shot arrows at the bottom, there would be almost no arrow that missed after shooting thousands of arrows.
Amid screams, blood splattered, iron arrows pierced bodies, and countless Shatu people fell to the ground at once.
The Shatu people below started to scream in panic. In an instant, at the entrance of the first city wall where Yan Liqiang was, several Shatu masters suddenly jumped up from the crowd, stepped on the wall inside the city wall, and tried to rush up...
"Swoosh..."
Terrifying arrows shot down from the top of the city wall. Before the Shatu masters could jump onto the city wall, their heads were pierced by the arrows. They screamed and fell from the sky.
Yan Qing and Yan Hong took action. At this moment, they were standing on the highest point of the tower of the second city wall inside the pass, standing back to back, looking majestic. In their hands, both of them held two twenty-stone horn python bows, and beside them were several fully loaded quivers. With their strength, using the twenty-stone horn python bows, each of them could shoot seventy to eighty arrows. Within this range, no matter whether it was the first circle of city walls or the second circle of city walls, ordinary Shatu masters would definitely not be able to withstand their attacks. The two men standing there, with the strong bows in their hands, had already covered all the Shatu people in the first and second circles of city walls.
The arrows on the wall shot down like raindrops. In addition to the powerful bows and crossbows, the other sharp weapons used to defend the fortress, the terrifying hundreds of eight-ox crossbows, chariot crossbows, rainstorm crossbows, and locust chariots that threw locust stones, all turned around at this time and shot fiercely at the Shatu people in the city wall...
The Eight Ox Crossbow fired a single shot, seemingly carving a bloody path through the pile of human flesh below...
Although the power of the chariot crossbow is not as strong as that of the eight-ox crossbow, it is flexible and convenient, has a fast shooting speed, and one shot of the crossbow can easily penetrate three or five people.
The Storm Crossbow can shoot 81 crossbow arrows at a time. After each shot, an area under the city wall will be left empty.
The locust vehicles that dropped locust stones fired hundreds of fist-sized stones at high speed at a time, covering an area at a time and smashing the Shatu people below, causing them to break bones and tendons, burst brains, and scream like ghosts.
Among the defenders on the wall, nearly two thousand of them were holding crossbows that were not ordinary crossbows, but secret weapons newly developed by the Manufacturing Bureau, metal crossbows with spring steel sheets as crossbow arms. The crossbow arrows of this metal crossbow were loaded in a quiver and installed on the crossbow. There were twelve arrows in a box, and the string was wound using the input rod based on the rod principle. Compared with ordinary crossbow arrows, the power of this metal crossbow was not reduced, but the firing efficiency could be increased by seven or eight times. It was a powerful weapon for close combat. At this moment, as soon as those metal crossbows were taken out, they were shot from the top of the wall. The continuous arrows were soul-chasing, and almost every arrow shot down would bring up a flower of blood and screams. What frightened the Shatu people even more was that the arrows of these crossbows seemed to never stop, and they became a complete nightmare for the Shatu people below.
From the very beginning, the three city walls were filled with screams from the Shatu people.
The panicked Shatu people began to draw weapons from the carriages and their bags, wanting to fight back, but the actual situation they faced was simply despairing, because the gate of the third city wall was not opened, and all the Shatu people were completely trapped in the city wall of Baishi Pass, surrounded by walls dozens of meters high. Arrows fell from the walls like raindrops, and the Shatu people were all crowded together. In this situation, let alone fighting, the Shatu people were restricted in their movements and could hardly fully display their strength. They were simply sitting ducks. Fifty thousand Shatu people were suddenly trapped in a jar.
As for the masters among the Shatu people, those who could jump out of the crowd and rush to the city walls were the key targets on the city walls. Before they could rush up, they were shot down by Yan Qing, Yan Hong and the archery masters among the guards inside the city, and fell from the sky screaming one by one...
This is no longer a battle, but a real massacre!
"Is this your trap?" Lian Wushuang looked at Yan Liqiang with surprise in her eyes. It was not until Sura's head fell off and Yan Liqiang's men started to take action that she suddenly reacted.
Yan Liqiang shrugged and smiled at her. "Of course, you don't think that I am really willing to recruit these dog-like Shatu people for a few dollars, right? These Shatu people have surrendered to the Black Jie people a long time ago. They originally wanted to plot against me, so I just played along. If I act too generous, it will make them suspicious. So I just made some money from them and let them think that I was willing to let them enter the country again for money. Now they are sending money and heads. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Do I need to be polite to them?"
Amid the screams from the city below, Lian Wushuang said with a slightly reluctant tone, "There are women, old people, and children among the people below. They..."
Yan Liqiang interrupted her and said, "Anyone who enters this pass today is the enemy of the Han Empire. You feel sorry for them now, but if Baishi Pass is lost today, and the gates to Qiyun County and the northwest are open, do you know how many Han men, and how many old and young women and children in Qiyun County and Ganzhou will die?"
Lian Wushuang wanted to say something, but suddenly she felt a sharp murderous aura coming. She turned her head and saw two figures in the city wall below suddenly jumping out of the crowd, stepping on the wall, and rushing towards where she and Yan Liqiang were. In the distance, Yan Qing and Yan Hong, two men under Yan Liqiang, shot two arrows at the two men. When the arrows reached the two men, they were shot down by them...
Masters, absolute masters. Looking at the figures of the two Shatu people, Lian Wushuang could tell at a glance that one of them had advanced to the Martial King level, and the other was the Martial Sect level. This was the first time that Lian Wushuang saw such a master among the Shatu people.
Yan Liqiang became the target of the two at this moment!
"If you don't want to see me get killed, then I'll leave that Shatu man's martial arts master to you!" Seeing the two Shatu men rushing over, Yan Liqiang grinned at Lian Wushuang, and before the other party could get close to him, he had already taken the dragon-spine steel spear that was stuck beside him with one hand, and with a flash of his body, he stabbed the Shatu man who had the strength of a martial king at the first level with a single shot.
Lian Wushuang was only half a second later than Yan Liqiang. He drew out his sword with a thud, and his body turned into a long rainbow. The sword light was as fast as lightning, and he directly intercepted another martial arts master of Shatu level...
