Chapter 493 flesh and blood
"Don't panic, the fire brigade, put out the fire immediately!" Fang Zian shouted in a deep voice in the chaos.
Firefighting is the specialty of the fire brigade. Before the war, Zian made preparations based on the combat situation at Wumashan Pass. The opponent would obviously still use fire bombs to bombard them. Firefighting must be done, otherwise they would be destroyed.
When the kerosene flows and burns, the soldiers will have no place to stand. Therefore, Fang Zian organized twenty fire-fighting teams in groups of three beforehand. According to the characteristics of the opponent's kerosene attack, he prepared the gravel at the foot of the cliff. This
This thing is specially designed for kerosene. Cover it up and the fire will be extinguished.
Twenty small carts pushed gravel and sand and dumped it at the fire site. The fire that was ignited was immediately extinguished by the gravel and sand, and there was no risk of burns if you stepped on it. The trolleys shuttled back and forth quickly, extinguishing the blazes. With the help of the fire-fighting team,
After putting out the fire efficiently, the chaos on the top of the cliff quickly calmed down.
However, it is useless to put out the fire. The opponent's fire bombs roared in, and there were no one knows how many. Fortunately, the opponent only had six cyclone cannons, the frequency of firing was not high, and the bombs were not dropped densely, so we were able to save them. And in
It is extremely dangerous while running to put out a fire because there is no cover, and the opponent's bows and arrows and crossbows are the biggest threats. Several brothers were injured by arrows, which is extremely dangerous.
Being beaten passively will never lead to a way out. When everyone was huddled in the fortifications and unable to raise their heads, Fang Zian gave the order to fight back.
Hidden on the side of the rock wall, the bed crossbow named 'Ten Thousand Enemies' in commemoration of Zhang Diwan was pushed out. Compared with last night, several large arrow-blocking shields were installed in front of the bed crossbow as a bunker.
Because the target is too big, there is currently only such a unique treasure, and Fang Zian does not want it to be destroyed by the opponent. Moreover, this is also a kind of protection for those who operate the bed crossbow.
"The bed crossbow is in place and fixed!" Fang Zian shouted.
The operator quickly pushed the crossbow cart into a flat and demarcated area, where holes had been drilled on the cliff in advance. After the crossbow cart was in place, a thick hemp rope was passed through the hole to tightly tie the tens of thousands of enemies to the crossbow.
Fix it on the ground and use the huge bluestone next to it to hold down the chassis.
"Adjust aiming, the open space on the right side of the cable bridge is the position of the first Jin Army cyclone gun. Pull the string! Load the arrow!"
Following Fang Zian's order, the operators moved quickly, adjusting the aiming position of the bed crossbow. The Jin soldiers on the opposite side obviously also discovered the behemoth that appeared on the top of the cliff. Bows, arrows and crossbows were fired, and the iron bunker in front jingled.
When the sound was like fried beans, the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers were really powerful. Some of the arrows could actually penetrate the thin iron sheet and nail the thick locust wood inside. Crossbow arrows flew whizzing around, some high and some low.
Some flew over the cliff while wiping their scalps, while others bombarded the cliff, sending up stone chips and smoke that filled the air everywhere.
When Zhang Ruomei saw Fang Zian standing there straight and not evading at all, she shouted anxiously: "Husband, be careful, it's very dangerous."
Fang Zian waved his hands and had no time to respond. Shen Ling'er said: "I'm here, you don't have to worry."
Zhang Ruomei watched Shen Ling'er standing next to Fang Zian with a long knife. Not only could she block the arrows flying towards Fang Zian at any time, but she was also standing in front of Fang Zian. If an arrow were to attack,
He also shot her first. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Shen Ling'er didn't speak much, but she was absolutely sincere to her husband and was willing to protect him with her life. It's not impossible for herself, but at this moment, she
The lives of the entire army and the people in the camp were already at stake, so I couldn't do that.
"Are you ready?" Fang Zian asked loudly.
"Prepare
Finished!" the operators shouted in unison.
"Okay, the first wave must hit, fire nine arrows at the target! Destroy the cyclone cannon! Fire the arrows!" Fang Zian shouted sharply.
The operator's hammer fell, the spring came loose, and the entire crossbow shook crazily. The bow string contracted, making a low buzzing sound, and the thick crossbow arrows shot through the air with a buzzing sound that broke the air.
The next moment, the first cyclone cannon on the right of a row of cyclone cannons located in the open space opposite the mountain stream was filled with sawdust and exploded. Nine crossbow arrows fired at a cyclone cannon. Perhaps because of nervousness, the aim was slightly wrong.
Only three of the nine crossbow arrows directly hit the body of the cyclone cannon, and the rest were bombarded at surrounding locations. But it was enough. The distance of 600 steps was a piece of cake for a ten thousand enemy crossbow. Three arrows
The iron-headed crossbow hit the frame of the carriage, breaking two logs and shattering a baffle. The cyclone cannon was originally a tall object, relying on the lever that the heavy object fell to drive the long arm to throw out the thrown object.
Principle. After the two supporting rods below were blown off, the entire cyclone cannon became top-heavy and could not bear its own weight. There was a squeaking sound, and the upper half of the long arm collapsed with the hanging weight of 1,000 kilograms, stirring up smoke and dust everywhere.
.A group of operators nearby were unable to escape, and five or six of them were killed and three injured.
"It's hit! Hahaha! It's hit!" The soldiers of the Zhongyi Army who witnessed this scene shouted in surprise. They were originally in a passive situation and were helpless in the face of the long-range firepower from the opposite side. But now, Lord Fang launched the first
This counterattack destroyed those terrifying monsters that fired fire bombs. This was undoubtedly the first counterattack since the war between the Zhongyi Army and the Jin Army. It was of great significance and inspiring.
Xiao Gui stared at the collapsed enemy cyclone cannon in shock, and said blankly: "I understand, it turns out... Mr. Fang wants to build this crossbow to suppress the long-range firepower of the Jin soldiers. Eliminate our biggest threat."
Zhang Ruomei said in a deep voice: "General Xiao, now you understand that my husband never does anything in vain. He won't argue with you, he will convince you with facts. Are you convinced?"
Xiao Gui smacked his lips and said, "I'm convinced. I'll go to him to apologize later."
Once the attack was successful, the sluggish morale suddenly rose. The soldiers who had been cowering and passively being beaten now dared to stick out their heads and shoot arrows towards the other side. Although few of the arrows could reach the enemy formation on the other side of the mountain stream, they also
It rarely hurts the opponent's soldiers and horses, but the counterattack has its own power, and the golden soldiers don't dare to act recklessly.
Xiao Huaizhong received the news that a tornado gun had been destroyed, and asked in shock: "How is it possible? What did they use to destroy our tornado cannon?"
General Jin who reported the report pointed to the tall bed crossbow lane above the cliff: "That's the thing."
Xiao Huaizhong said angrily: "Gather the fire, use all the cyclone cannons and all the crossbows to blast that thing. Blast it into pieces."
All long-range firepower received the order and immediately began to turn. The archers could adjust immediately, but the cyclone cannon and ballista needed time to turn and aim. Fang Zian did not retreat, he would use this gap time to carry out the second round of strikes.
"Aim, draw the bow, load the arrow. Target, the second vehicle from the right. Release!"
A series of orders were given, and the enemy's ballista, which was tens of thousands of people, turned slightly, locked on the second cyclone cannon on the right, and launched with a bang. Nine crossbow arrows were shot out quickly, and this time six crossbow arrows hit the cyclone cannon. The cyclone cannon was adjusting
The position was lit with fire bombs and ready to be fired. Six crossbow bolts hit the car body, one of which hit the burning wooden bullet. However, the fireball exploded, kerosene splashed in the air, and a large area of fire surrounded it.
The place instantly turned into a sea of flames. Dozens of golden soldiers around were poured with kerosene on their bodies, and they suddenly burst into flames. They cried loudly and struggled to roll over. The cyclone cannon naturally collapsed, and the crossbars and wooden pillars became fuel for the fire.
.
Whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh. Intensive and fierce firepower struck. The iron baffle in front of the crossbow of the ten thousand enemy bed was already filled with dense arrows. Occasionally, a powerful crossbow hit the baffle and blew out the entire baffle.
A big hole shook the car body. The operator hiding behind the fender was safe for the time being, but the soldiers of the Loyalty Army next to him were hit by Chi Yu, and seven or eight were killed by the bombardment.
"Sir, do you want to take shelter? It's too dangerous. They are all staring at us." Zhao Gang shouted.
"Hide your ass! Draw the bow, string it, target the third one, and launch!" Fang Zian shouted loudly.
"Oh!" Zhao Gang quickly led his men to take action, admiring him in his heart. Mr. Fang is so courageous. He is so brave on the battlefield, and his heart is probably made of iron. In terms of ferocity, the Jin man is not as good as him.
"Come here, use the shield to protect us." Zhang Ruomei's voice sounded, and everyone realized that the focus of today's battle has been focused on this matter. One side wants to knock out the other side's long-range throwing equipment, but the other side will never allow it.
Do this. Anyone with a little common sense already understands that this is already the focus of the battle. There is nothing worthy or unworthy at this moment. This is a kind of wrestling between the two sides. Either thousands of enemies will be destroyed, or the golden soldiers' whirlwind cannon
Destroyed. What seems like a battle of will is actually a battle of morale and courage.
Zhang Ruomei gave an order, and hundreds of loyal soldiers from the left and right came forward with large shields and surrounded the front of the enemy's ballista with 10,000 people, forming a heavy shield array to protect the people who controlled and commanded the ballista.
Xiao Gui held up a large shield and stood in front of Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er, with his legs against the ground and his shoulders against the shield. He looked back at Fang Zian and said: "Master Fang, you kill the enemy, they want to kill
You, unless I, Xiao Gui, die first."
Fang Zian was deeply moved when he saw the layers of shields protecting his body in front of him. He knew that the loyal army had inspired their blood and had restored their confidence and courage. The loyal army, which was famous before and was not afraid of death, had returned.
.
"Launch!" Fang Zian shouted in a deep voice.
"Buzz buzz! Boom boom!"
The third cyclone cannon collapsed into a pile of rubbish in the smoke and dust. What Xiao Huaizhong and others happened to see on the hillside was a crossbow arrow that hit a golden soldier operator of the cyclone cannon, blasting the golden soldier directly into pieces.
A ball of flesh and blood fragments. Wanyan Dekang's lips trembled and his face turned pale.
"This...Marshal Xiao...how is this good?"
Xiao Huaizhong was so angry that he had no time to take care of Wan Yan Dekang and roared: "Are they all trash? Can't that thing be destroyed by so many ballista bows and arrows?"
The scene in front of the tens of thousands of enemy ballistas on the cliff was actually very tragic. The human shield array, which was hit intensively by powerful arrows and crossbows, had actually suffered heavy casualties. The strong bows were defeated, but the power of the concentrated shooting of dozens of ballistas was by no means
It can be resisted by human power. Although the hit rate from the angle of upward shooting is not high, every time a crossbow arrow is hit, it will cause a scene of splattering blood and flesh. How can a wooden shield compete with a powerful crossbow that can break mountains and rubble?
It exploded under the bombardment, and even people and shields were pierced by crossbow arrows, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams were heard in the sky. Dozens of soldiers in the front row had all been killed, but those in the rear pushed forward. They gritted their teeth and used their flesh and blood to block the arrows that were shot wildly.
Arms and crossbow arrows protect the enemy in the rear.
