"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
A neat and loud bugle was shouted from the mouths of each soldier. The sound shook the heaven and the earth. The entire plain was slightly shaken by the sound for dozens of miles around.
The barbarians on the city wall were no exception. Their expressions changed. It was obvious that they had succeeded in using their superiority in numbers and strict discipline to undermine their own morale.
The long sword was put back into the scabbard. Zhong Yu's order had long been conveyed to everyone by the surrounding messengers. The entire army started to move. 30,000 crossbowmen came to the front of the formation, arranged neatly, one by one. Around the city wall, until the strike range can cover the entire city.
The crossbowmen were divided into three columns and fired one by one in three batches in order to achieve perfect uninterrupted coverage. The 3,000 people were divided into three shooting sections, with only 10,000 crossbowmen shooting at each time. Next, there was a third Two, and the third one went up in succession, just enough to fill up the three-second interval between the repeating crossbows.
Puffy! As the crossbow strings swayed in the air, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows flew towards them. It was like rain, hitting the barbarians guarding the city, bringing up a shower of blood. The barbarians who were shot fell directly to the ground, making no sound at all.
The lethality of a crossbow arrow is originally just a perforating wound. Unless it hits a vital point, it will not be too fatal. An ordinary person can hold on for a long time before dying of excessive bleeding. However, Zhong Yu added a Two processes.
The first is that many people use poison on the arrowheads of crossbows. Zhong Yu's poison is very toxic. It spreads quickly when it sees blood. The onset time is extremely short and the lethality is extremely impressive!
The second process is to manipulate the arrows. Crossbow arrows are penetrating. Even crossbow arrows that are powerful enough can directly penetrate a person's body, so the damage to the person is not very great.
Zhong Yu suddenly had a whim, if when the crossbow arrow penetrated the human body, it suddenly exploded in the middle of the arrow branch and spread into filaments, just like a bamboo pole being crushed, the originally hard body was divided into , strand after strand of bamboo silk, sharp and difficult to remove.
In this case, it is basically impossible to take out the enemies shot by the crossbow arrows. Those twigs will always stay in their bodies, torturing them. If they move, they will feel extremely painful and just want to Hurry up and die!
After Zhong Yu's two adjustments, the crossbow arrows, which were originally not very lethal, suddenly became more powerful, which greatly increased the crossbow arrows' lethality!
This is the case with the barbarians on the city wall now. After fighting with Liu Bei, they have become accustomed to the power of those crossbows. Although the penetration and coverage are very large, and the distance of long-range strikes is long enough, the actual killing effect is not But it's not very strong. For barbarians, it's still within the tolerable range!
But now, when they saw the troops in front of the city wall, they still took out the same weapons as Liu Beijun's crossbows before. They were just a little scared at first, but they were not very nervous. They were used to it!
But they didn't expect that Liu Bei's crossbows were just plundered by Zhong Yu from the court officials and local wealthy families in the Three Kingdoms world!
They are just some defective products and backward equipment that Zhong Yu has long made up his mind to eliminate. They are far inferior to the repeated crossbows that Zhong Yu created using the system.
Not only is it unable to fire continuously, but the rate of fire is also extremely slow. It can only shoot him two or three times a minute. How can it be compared to 20 rounds a minute? It has stronger penetrating power, longer range, and the arrows are processed. A new type of repeating crossbow that has become extremely powerful!
Therefore, these barbarians committed a common habit of empiricism and were stunned by Zhong Yu's sudden new weapon. They suffered heavy casualties all of a sudden!
The barbarians who had only taken a few thick wooden cards to cover their vital parts slightly without much defense were left with dead and wounded everywhere, and mourning was everywhere, and they felt regretful in their hearts.
The 10,000 barbarian defenders standing on the city wall were immediately knocked down by this wave of arrows. However, this did not end. The continuous arrows followed, wave after wave. Shoot at the top of the city.
After nine rounds, each batch of soldiers shot him three waves of arrows. In just nine seconds, he had poured out 90,000 arrows, creating the greatest siege effect that the crossbow formation could achieve!
Later, when the barbarian defenders on the city wall who had reacted could not cause too obvious damage or results, Zhong Yu ordered him to stop shooting!
You know, although these arrows are very cheap to exchange for raw materials in the system, and one luck point can be exchanged for raw materials that can make 1,000 arrows, but in just nine seconds, Zhong Yu has already set foot in other ninety Luck points, if you shoot a few more times, a few hundred luck points will be gone.
This war is not about fighting people, it is about money! Zhong Yu understands this sentence deeply. Not to mention anything else, just these soldiers in front of me, they exchanged their luck points from the world of the Three Kingdoms.
Which weapon on their body was not made by using the convenience of the system, exchanging various advanced technologies, and precious materials!
Otherwise, how could the primitive feudal society of the Three Kingdoms have such advanced weapons and various powerful instruments! But all of this cannot escape one word, money, that is, luck!
And Zhong Yu just lacks luck points now, so how can he waste them randomly? We can only save and save, and work hard to save some luck points from various places for long-term development and maximum benefits.
Now that the effect of the crossbow array has been maximized, the 10,000 defenders on the city wall have been defeated by 5,000 or 6,000. Many of the remaining people have some minor injuries. It can be said that morale is low and they were beaten by themselves. To the extreme!
Think about this scenario, two armies are facing each other, and one side is still waiting for the enemy to come over so that they can engage in hand-to-hand combat. Then the enemy uses a long-range weapon to hit itself from a distance, destroying most of the victory.
He suffered heavy losses, but the enemy lost not a single hair. How could this demoralize and frighten the troops who did not have long-range strike weapons
This is the situation on the city wall now. Although when the crossbow formation was firing, there were some barbarian leaders with extraordinary power who opened their defenses to protect some barbarians.
But most of the barbarians could only find bunkers on the city walls or some shields for protection, but they found that most of the defensive methods they had made based on previous experience were of no use.
The shooting speed, penetrating power, and killing effect of the enemy's crossbow arrows far exceeded the power of any previous crossbow arrows, leaving them unable to react and losing so many companions.
What's more, some people try to express their fighting spirit, like the leader of the Jones tribe in the northern region, forming a barrier to block the arrows.
But he was horrified to find that his diaphragm, which could have blocked or even deflected arrows, was easily penetrated by those arrows with greater penetrating power, killing the barbarian soldiers who were hiding behind and thought they were absolutely safe through the diaphragm. .
Even the person with extraordinary strength who released his fighting energy was accidentally killed by an arrow and turned into a hornet's nest!
