In order to ensure the effective range, the crossbow arm of each Fuyuan crossbow is as thick as the mouth of a bowl and one foot long. If you want to support such a heavy crossbow arm, the entire crossbow vehicle will inevitably have to be made very large. In addition, for the convenience of launching,
Each side of the body also carries a huge arrow box. Each arrow box contains no more than fifteen iron feather crossbow arrows. Counting them all together, the weight of the entire Fuyuan Crossbow and its accessories is added together.
, no longer weighs less than a thousand pounds.
Such a heavy behemoth must be pushed by the crossbowmen shoulder to shoulder, so it certainly cannot move too fast. However, the moving speed of the entire Anxi Army formation is completely based on the Fuyuan Crossbow, and it is not at all thought of being trapped by the big cannibal.
Pao Zewei Nian was standing near Qi Zhongjun. From light cavalry to heavy armor, from ordinary soldiers to Feng Changqing himself, everyone followed the ballistae, beating the drums and taking their time.
However, the slower they walked, the greater the pressure accumulated. In the direction pointed by the crossbow, the air seemed to condense into a huge collision, constantly hitting the big black armor not far away. "Boom" "Boom" "
"Boom!" The silent impact caused the giant eater to stagger, swaying left and right.
Under this invisible pressure, even the Dashi veterans who had experienced the last battle of Henglus all had pale faces. In the last battle, the large and small ballistae of the Tang army also left a deep impression on them.
impression. However, in that battle, the total number of ballistas dispatched by the Anxi Army was only a few dozen, which was not even a fraction of what it is today. It was also not possible to connect large and small ballistas together like today.
film, and kept shooting for a moment.
Last time, after they suffered a certain amount of casualties, they were able to rush to the ballista, rendering these behemoths completely useless. But today, when the behemoths were lined up in an array, they didn't even have the chance to rush to the ballista.
Comparing the two, after experiencing the devastating disaster the year before last, the strength of the Tang people has not weakened, but has been greatly enhanced. Regardless of equipment and tactics, they can only look up to them.
Not only the veterans were like this, but Aikelam, the commander of the Eastern Crusade Jihad Army, who was standing very far away and was responsible for arranging the entire army, also felt a surge in his heart when he saw the thousands of large and small ballistas approaching in formation.
Feeling of powerlessness.
As he wished, after the decisive battle order was issued, the elite Dashi troops gathered from all directions and had already wrapped up the Tang people's heavy armored infantry. The Mo Dao Formation that once frightened him was no longer a threat in a short period of time.
He saw his handsome flag. However, his heart sank little by little and became heavier and heavier.
This Anxi Army is not the other Anxi Army, and Feng Changqing is not Gao Xianzhi. In addition to being brave and good at fighting, everyone in the Anxi Army from top to bottom had their eyes set on the top. They did not take the big cannibals seriously at all, and they did not even bother to fight with them.
Hiding behind the ballista, he relied entirely on the superiority of his equipment to win the victory. Back then, Gao Xianzhi relied solely on his elite men to charge forward in the war, and was as proud as an eagle. But today's Feng Changqing is as insidious as an eagle.
Fox, from the beginning of the battle until now, has almost calculated every step.
Although there is no evidence in hand, Aikelamu even believes that Feng Changqing is responsible for the sudden weakness in the hands and feet of the warriors in the army. This person either sent dead soldiers to kill hundreds of thousands of people.
The food and fodder of the Eastern Expedition army was poisoned. Or they were proficient in a kind of witchcraft, which eroded the souls of the jihadists, and even the most devout believers of Allah were unable to resist.
Thinking of witchcraft, Aikelam couldn't help but pray to the gods again, "O Allah, even if you really don't care about your believers, don't you care at all about this fertile soil where a willow stick can grow into a big tree?
"
Just as he was complaining, the main formation of the Tang army stopped again in the distance. The huge Fuyuan crossbow was pushed to the front, and the crossbow operator once again pulled the trigger without hesitation, "Boom, boom, boom, boom
...." Every sound was extremely clear, including the whine of the crossbow arrows tearing the air, all of which reached Aikelamu's ears without missing a beat.
A mist of blood rose among the crowd.
The distance between the enemy and ourselves has been shortened to 200 steps. The Dashi Heijia, who was ordered to block the Tang Army's main formation, has no way to retreat. Everyone, including cavalry and infantry, jihadists, volunteers and temporary soldiers.
The servants who came were densely packed into a huge black mass. The huge crossbow arrows were torn from the outermost side of the black mass, and penetrated more than ten feet. All obstacles along the way, the life was taken away in an instant, and the red blood split into several blood lines.
.
"Send the order, send the order, let them fight! Fight, fight!" Aikelam shouted desperately, his voice hoarse like a broken gong. "Send the order to Amul, Gharib and Hasili, and let them lead the team in person.
Charge forward. Whoever dares to retreat, I will report it to the Caliph and kill his whole family. Send an order to all the Imams over there. If they dare to withdraw, I will personally tie them to the religious judges and make their lives worse than death. Send an order to
All jihadists, the time has come to sacrifice your lives for Allah!”
Crazy orders came out in the form of horn sounds, but their effect was very limited. The large black armors in the distance only expanded quickly, and then shrank into a huge mass. Thousands of them
The crossbow arrows flew in the sky and tore off a layer on the side of the huge black mass facing the Tang army. It was like a torrent tearing apart a nest of unlucky ants.
The outermost "ant" screamed and died. The rest of the ants continued to crowd together, neither resisting nor knowing how to escape. Another wave of crossbow arrows flew in the sky, roaring and tearing off the second layer on the outside of the black mass. Followed closely.
On the third and fourth floors, blood mist rose, dyeing the entire sky red.
"What are you doing standing still, waiting to die!" In Aikailamu's eyes, the whole world turned dark red. Blood mixed with tears slowly flowed down from the corners of his eyes. It was so miserable, so miserable, it was simply
It’s just massacre. Damn Amul, damn Ghalib, damn Hasiri, damn the Imams, what on earth are you doing?
"Allah is watching you in the Kingdom of Heaven. Allah is watching you in the Kingdom of Heaven!" If Aikailamu had a pair of ears at this moment, he would have discovered that the generals and all the others whose names he named
The imams have indeed tried their best. In the chaotic military formation, these people and their cronies shouted until their throats smoked. However, their usually tried-and-true agitation suddenly failed at this moment. The Holy Spirit of Heaven
The temptation of a virgin, no matter what, can't resist the panic of being shot into the air by a crossbow arrow and pierced into skewers. The illusory paradise can't cover up the bloody reality.
If someone else is going to die first, as long as it doesn't hit their own head, they will be lucky. Anyway, the ballista is loading slowly, and the Tang people will finish launching this wave soon. At this moment, almost all the cannibals have the same idea.
However, they soon discovered how naive their ideas were. The Fuyuan Crossbow and Qingzhang Crossbow were indeed launched quickly, and the crossbowmen began to be busy again. A large group of Tang people holding horn crossbows quickly swarmed into the military formation.
At the very front of the crossbow arm, pull the trigger.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom! The crossbow strings were noisy, like rain hitting banana trees. The overwhelming crossbow arrows flew over and whizzed into the crowd. One hundred and seventeen
Ten steps was still within the shooting range that could easily tear through heavy armor. Directly in the direction of the main formation of the Tang army, hundreds of giant cannibals fell to the ground at the same time, and a large piece of the entire battle group was instantly bitten off.
The first row of horn crossbowmen finished firing. The crossbowmen sat down on the spot, used their hands and feet together, and re-opened the crossbow string. The second row of horn crossbowmen quickly rushed up, surpassed them, and pulled the trigger.
Another large piece of fresh flesh and blood was chewed off from the food army formation. The screams were endless.
The third row of crossbowmen rushed out, passed over the second row of crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.
The fourth row of crossbowmen rushed out, passed over the third row of crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.
The fifth row of crossbowmen rushed out, passed over the fourth row of crossbowmen who were sitting down, and pulled the trigger.
Row Six….
For two whole years, the crossbowmen of the Anxi Army have been repeating the same training. The formations and movements have long become instinctive. Under the command of the war drum, they mechanically walk to the front row and pull the trigger. They don't care about the result at all.
Then he quickly sat down and opened the crossbow with his feet. Then he jumped up, holding the reloaded horn crossbow, waiting for the next command given to him.
The leading general raised his ears to distinguish the drum beat. When he heard his own drum beat, he immediately raised his sword high and said, "Enter!"
"Come in!" The first row of crossbowmen rushed out, passed over the sixth row of crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.
"Come in!" The second row of crossbowmen rushed out, passed over the first row of crossbowmen who were sitting down, and pulled the trigger.
Third row…..
fourth row
The huge waves composed of rows of crossbowmen kept rolling forward. Every time they rolled a few steps, the Great Food Army Formation opposite seemed to crack several feet inward.
No soldiers and horses in the world can withstand this kind of pressure. Before the second round of six-stage shooting was over, the battle formation composed of tens of thousands of large black armors actually started to crack. Facing the direction of the Tang army, the entire battle formation was sunk.
There was a huge gap, the bodies of men and horses were piled together, and blood and water flowed into a river.
The jihadists turned their mounts sideways one after another to avoid the point of the crossbow. Some of the bravest guys simply turned their mounts directly, causing the already chaotic team to become even more chaotic.
"The time has come to rush forward and fight for Allah; the time has come to commit suicide!" The generals and imams were unwilling to lose their reputations and continued to speak eloquently. Except for a very weak response, they received only cold words.
According to religious regulations, the most devout believers of Allah are these generals and Imams. According to secular rules, they are the ones who enjoy the most benefits within the sect. At this moment, they should take some concrete actions to prove themselves.
Time to be pious.
"Allah is..." Several generals who were chattering suddenly felt cold and instinctively looked sideways. They saw a huge gap breaking open beside them. At the end of the gap, it was the rumbling...
Ballista.
Fuyuan crossbow, the crossbow is ten stones strong, within three hundred steps, whoever is in danger will be killed immediately!
"Ah!" Before they saw the giant crossbow leaving the bow, the generals and the imams were stunned. They mounted their mounts and tried their best to hide behind others. The big eaters in black armor moved their horses to avoid them one by one, like they were avoiding the plague.
