The war drums were still beating, and the first batch of Qiang troops stood a few miles outside Tongguan Pass. They quickly took out a large number of large parts and assembled them on the spot.
Within a few dozen breaths, huge equipment appeared densely outside the pass.
It is indeed a siege equipment, but compared to the equipment in the Han Dynasty, it is obviously much cruder. It is mainly based on basic siege equipment such as siege engines, ramming vehicles, catapults, giant ballistas, and ladders. They are not sophisticated and complex.
This is also the wonderful thing about Gaowu system.
The equipment is not too bulky and can basically be carried around. Bulky equipment can also be broken down into parts and assembled in a short time. If you don't respond in time, you can easily be caught off guard!
When thousands of huge instruments were assembled, the elite Qiang army led by Yao Xing also came to the front of the formation, and the rear was also densely packed with Qiang troops stretching as far as the eye could see.
"It seems... the enemy doesn't seem to be harassing us. Are we operating the barrier formation?"
Seeing the enemy's reaction, Zhang Mancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked to Wu Xin for instructions.
Wu Xin did not answer but asked: "Does King Wu Cheng think it is useful to activate the gate protection formation? How long can it last?"
Looking at the boundless and incalculable enemy forces outside the pass, Zhang Mancheng smiled bitterly and responded helplessly: "It's not very effective and won't last long! But... it can reduce the casualties of our army to some extent!"
"No need! Let's save it for the critical moment and hope for miraculous results. Let's fight hard!" Wu Xin nodded, not bothering to discuss more, and gave the order directly with a solemn expression.
"yes!"
Zhang Mancheng gritted his teeth and replied. Even everyone present was quite surprised and confused, but the common thing was solemnity.
If this happens, the casualties will be huge!
Of course, if too many ants kill an elephant, given the size of the Qiang army, the gate-protecting formation is indeed of little use. It will be destroyed soon, and no one can refute it!
…
"Dong dong dong...gulu gulu..."
The heavy drums of war trembled in the heart, and the heavy sound of the windlass of huge equipment echoed in the wilderness.
The boundless Qiang army, dominated by thousands of huge equipment, and surrounded by siege equipment, rushed to Tongguan!
Eight miles...
Five miles...
Three miles...
The Qiang army was not marching very fast, and Wu Xin and other Dali generals, as well as the Qiang army generals, could already see each other clearly.
Wu Xin and others can also see doubts, caution, surprise and other expressions in the expressions of Yao Xing and others.
Tongguan didn't even activate the big formation, was it planning to fight them head-on? This was really beyond their expectation!
"Dong, dong, dong..."
The bow was on the string and had to be fired. Although he was doubtful and vigilant, the rhythm of the Qiang army's war drums suddenly intensified, and he bravely launched a general attack order!
The Qiang army soldiers, siege equipment, vanguard troops, etc. suddenly accelerated...
Fortunately, the Qiang army was quite benevolent and sent Yao Xing and his four elite deployment camps to serve as vanguards. They did not just want to take advantage of their numerical advantage and use middle and low-level soldiers as cannon fodder!
"Erma! Erma!"
Countless Qiang troops shouted loudly, their morale was boosted, their fighting spirit was soaring, and the iron-blooded evil cloud grew rapidly, gathered, and solidified, turning into a dark red evil cloud that covered the sky.
"boom……"
Yao Xing stood at the edge of the range of the weapon. With a wave of his hand, he took a pillar several feet high and transformed into a huge pillar tens of feet high and several meters thick, embossed with countless strange patterns. It was a simple and ancient pillar!
The giant pillar fell to the ground, with the force of a giant pillar holding up the sky, overwhelming the entire audience, and an ancient aura was clearly palpable.
"Erma! Erma!
The giant pillars were fixed, and the aura, momentum, evil clouds, etc. of the charging Qiang army had obviously increased significantly.
The southern beast and the northern beast are cursed!
This is a way of saying that the Han Dynasty refers to the various tribes in the wilderness.
The Qiang people are a foreign race that are good at cursing!
Of course, this statement is rather general, and the Qiang people are also good at amplification and healing.
This giant pillar is one of the characteristics of the Qiang people. It is called a totem pole. Its effect is similar to the military spirit of the Han Dynasty, but it is more convenient, simple, direct and effective.
"attack!"
Above Tongguan, with an order, countless defensive equipment were fired.
The giant crossbows were like rain, intertwining into a dragnet that covered the sky and the sun.
The stones were thrown like the wind, gathering into a meteorite rain that destroyed the heaven and earth.
Thunderbolts were like tides, condensing into wildly roaring torrents, like the Milky Way descending from the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The siege vehicles and assault vehicles that were roughly made of rough wood and animal hides were like huge shields, withstood the bombardment of giant crossbows, slings and thunderbolts, with loud roars and brutal direct force!
Occasionally, a stone was thrown across the parabola, hitting the back of a siege vehicle or ramming vehicle, or hitting the Qiang army. A piece of it was smashed, and sometimes it was turned into meat paste, and sometimes the bones were broken and the flesh was torn apart.
If it hits a catapult, giant ballista or ladder, every support will be broken.
"Rumble..."
The siege vehicles and ramming vehicles continued to advance against the stormy defensive equipment. The Qiang army's catapults, giant ballistae, etc. stopped and began to counterattack.
In an instant, countless boulders and giant crossbows tore through the sky, overwhelmingly smashing into Tongguan!
Too many, so that the stones, giant crossbows or thunderbolts from both sides often collide in mid-air, shattering, breaking, and falling with loud noises!
The mutual attacks of the two sides' weapons intertwined into a doomsday storm that destroyed the heaven and earth, the sky shook and the earth shook, and it roared like thunder!
Under the doomsday storm, there are Qiang troops all over the mountains and plains, densely packed like a wave of ants!
Countless Qiang troops risked their lives to move forward in the doomsday storm, like ants walking in a snowstorm!
Countless stones were thrown like meteors falling to the ground, hitting one piece at a time, ranging from a dozen people to dozens of people. They could always smash several people into pieces and hit several people on the ground.
Countless giant crossbows fell down like a punishment from heaven, one after another, ranging from a few people to a dozen or dozens of people, staining the ground with blood.
Countless thunderbolts roared like waves, one after another, plowing tragic roads and leaving hideous ravines on the earth!
Even if the stones from both sides collide in mid-air, they can be killed and hit many Qiang soldiers if they fall. Even if the gravel falls, they can also hit several Qiang soldiers!
Just a few miles away...
Countless stone throws, giant crossbows and thunderbolts turned the flat wilderness into a chaotic purgatory.
Within a few miles, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the ground was stained with blood. The blood condensed into blood streams, just like the blood veins on Mother Earth, crisscrossing each other, shocking!
Within a few miles, in just one stick of incense, tens of thousands of strong Qiang people fell down and turned into a bloody pattern!
Yao Xing and other Qiang leaders and generals saw their fists clenched, their facial features ferocious, their eyes red, and many of them had tears streaming down their faces and their faces dropped to sob...
However, from beginning to end, no one said a word, everyone was silent!
The Qiang troops all over the mountains and plains are like countless "livestock" being sent to the slaughterhouse. They only know numbness and madness. They regard death as if they are home and move forward resolutely like moths flying into the flames, even if the front is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, and an abyss!
The Qiang army outside Tongguan is basically young and strong, not old, weak, sick or disabled. They are the warriors, pillars and hope of each tribe!
These are the young men of countless tribes in the wilderness!
Now they do not die in the "hell" in the harsh wasteland, but forever lie in their hearts in the "heaven" with abundant resources and good weather...
Countless young people are using their blood and lives to fight for the living space for their people!
The war drums are like thunder, the wind is like weeping!
The sun was getting hotter and hotter. I couldn't bear to see it, completely hiding behind the blood-red evil cloud...
