Chapter 391 Zhu Gaojie: Didn’t you expect that? I will personally lead the army to kill you!
"boom!"
Along with the heavy roaring sound, dozens of artillery carts in Quaning City were launched together, and various round and square stones flew through the air, roaring and smashing into the Tatar army!
The artillery position that the Tatars had just built was smashed to pieces in an instant!
Hundreds of Tatar servants were running around like headless flies in panic, being smashed into pulp by the roaring stones!
"this……"
"How is this going?"
The little Tatar prince's central army was some distance away from the artillery carriage position of the front camp, so it was not attacked. However, when he saw that the artillery carriages in front were destroyed one after another, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
When did the Ming army have such powerful artillery vehicles?
The retinues and guards around him were also shocked and quickly escorted him and many senior officers back. If they were hit by stones from the Ming army's artillery carts, wouldn't it be all over?
The face of the little Tatar prince was full of disbelief:
"What on earth is going on! Who will tell me?"
The generals around him were also stunned. The Ming army's artillery fire was too far and too accurate, right?
Everyone is obviously the same...
After a while, a captain of ten thousand men hesitated and said:
"Perhaps the Ming army has come up with some new tricks?"
He comforted the little Tartar prince:
"But it's nothing. The artillery carts are only used to make noise and scare people. If we really want to start a fight, what use can the artillery carts alone do? Besides, they can't have that many rocks..."
The generals who came back to their senses also spoke one after another:
"That's right, a few artillery carriages want to scare us. We will attack the city later to make them look good!"
"Kill all these bright dogs, do you think you can defend it with this broken artillery truck?"
The little Tatar prince also breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the role of the artillery carriage in the battle between the two armies was not very great. In addition, it was heavy and difficult to move, and the raw materials were difficult to find. At most, it could only play a head start.
That’s all.
But when he looked at his side's almost completely destroyed artillery position and the hundreds of soldiers who were smashed into a pulp, his heart suddenly became filled with rage.
"Asshole! Attack the city with all your strength later!"
"I will hold down the battle here. Whoever can break the city first will receive a reward of a hundred taels and a thousand households granted!"
As soon as the little Tatar prince said these words, there was a commotion among the surrounding generals. Qianhu, this is a head-turning military achievement!
As a result, changes immediately occurred in the Tatar army. Countless Tatar soldiers roared, wore armor and carried sharp weapons, and launched an attack on Quanning City with ferocious faces!
After a few breaths, the Tatar army arrived at Quaning City!
"The gun carriage still needs to be improved."
Looking at this scene, Zhu Gaojie had no expression on his face. He took a divine arm bow from the guard on the side and said while taking aim:
"In the future, we must find a way to combine gunpowder with the gun carriage. Otherwise, counterweight alone will not have much lethal effect, and it is even more useless in this case."
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrows in his hand shot out, and the other soldiers on the city wall also started shooting!
The improved God's Arm Bow is actually more like a crossbow. It has a fixed machine string, and only needs to be pulled out to load the arrow, allowing the user to concentrate on aiming without wasting energy on stabilizing the bowstring.
In addition, Zhu Gaojie made improvements. The arrows he used were extremely long and their armor-piercing ability was even more amazing!
Therefore, as soon as it was launched, it instantly caused huge damage to the Tatar army outside the city!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless arrows shot out of the air, and the long arrows directly penetrated the bodies of the Tatar soldiers. Whether it was soft armor or iron armor, they had no ability to resist in front of the god's arm bow. The Tatar soldiers who were hit by the arrows instantly shed blood on the battlefield.
!
"Plop, pop..."
In the rain of arrows, even the Tatar soldiers charging with large shields were pierced through the shields and shot to death on the spot!
As for the Tatar soldiers wearing only light armor, they fell to the ground one after another. They were like fragile eggs in front of the divine arm bow and were shot to pieces!
For a time, even though the Tatar front army was about to rush to the city, they stopped under such a violent blow.
Many Tatar soldiers looked frightened and hesitated as they looked at their companions who kept falling to the ground around them.
However, in this way, it gave the Ming army more opportunities to shoot arrows.
Under Zhu Gaojie's improvement, the Divine Arm Bow was equipped with three quivers, each of which contained twelve armor-piercing long arrows!
In other words, just one soldier from Shenji Battalion can shoot thirty-six armor-piercing long arrows that can penetrate iron armor and shields in a short period of time!
What kind of firepower coverage is this?
Not to mention that there are logistics soldiers on the side providing arrow supplies and quickly replacing damaged bow strings...
The Tatar front army was stunned!
As for the Tatar army in the rear, the little Tatar prince looked at this scene under the flag and was even more stunned!
This extremely tragic scene almost made him and all the Tatar generals' eyes pop out!
"What...what's going on?"
The little Tatar prince's eyes instantly turned red. He grabbed the arm of a captain next to him and said through gritted teeth:
"How could the Ming army's bows and arrows be so powerful! And so fast!"
They are all familiar with bows and arrows. As the overlords on the grassland, the Tatars usually ride fast horses and shoot birds in the sky with arrows. Therefore, they were overwhelmed by the sudden burst of arrow firepower from the Ming army.
Everyone was shocked.
It is precisely because they are familiar with bows and arrows that they know how terrifying the arrows with such speed and power they saw are!
In the former army, those soldiers who only wore leather armor were forgetful, but those soldiers carrying large shields and generals wearing iron armor were all shot to death by such long arrows!
You know, the large shields in the Tatar army were made of hardwood wrapped in a thick layer of iron!
And the generals leading the charge in front were wearing armor with strong protective power!
Even he could see clearly just now that the soldiers hiding behind the siege protective gear could not escape!
The long arrows fired by the Ming army in the city could actually penetrate the thick siege baffles...
"Get back quickly!"
"Return them all to me!"
The little Tatar prince couldn't help roaring, his face was extremely ferocious.
This is not an attack on the city, this is clearly a death attempt!
Who is leading the Ming army on the opposite side? How could that Su Wu have such powerful troops and weapons!
And just when the Tatar army blew the trumpets to retreat and the front troops fled in panic, Zhu Gaojie laughed, turned to Su Wu beside him and said:
"The Tatars are afraid!"
"Send the order and raise the flag of Gu!"
"I will personally lead the troops and go out of the city to kill the little Tatar prince opposite!"
