When the enemy's thick-skinned ladder was pushed to the "place of an arrow", Huang Zhong's eyes were closed and opened, and there was a circle of golden "eye shadow" around his eyes, and there was also a golden "eye shadow" in his pupils.
Shining with golden light.
The ape's arm stretched out from the back of the armor and took out a giant crossbow that was more than three meters wide. The arrow groove was like a small barrel. He used the handle on the side of the crossbow to pull out the bow string as if a bullet was loaded. The golden arrow light condensed out of thin air.
Then aim at the approaching Lu Gong's car and shoot an arrow!
Lu Gongche was directly shot through, and a golden light was projected from the back...
Although the inside cannot be seen, from the vague chaos and momentary pauses and slowdowns, it can be seen that the arrow caused casualties inside, and even caused panic!
Moreover, this is Huang Zhong's "one arrow" - more than five hundred steps, which is equivalent to the arrows shot by Lu Bu in the state of golden jade armor.
The Jingzhou defenders shouted "mighty" repeatedly. When Lu Gong's chariot and Langqiao chariot approached, they reached 350 steps. During these 150 steps, Huang Zhong had already shot more than 20 arrows...
On the one hand, the siege equipment moved slowly, and the frequency of Huang Zhong's charged refires was really alarming. However, at 350 steps, the opponent suddenly started to counterattack, and... it was not one or two generals who were counterattacking.
Instead, there were eight mutant ladders, whoosh, whoosh, each shooting out a wave of arrows with more than ten arrows!
Huang Zhong was also shocked - three hundred and fifty steps should be regarded as a "high barrier" to the range of a crossbow. Unless he had special archery skills, General Jin Yu's range would also stop there.
It's not surprising that someone in the General's Mansion can shoot three hundred and fifty steps, but... what's going on with these hundreds of arrows? Is there another multi-person heavy crossbow inside? Or maybe someone on the other side has a fierce bow like myself.
Because they had habitually believed that this was a safe distance, the soldiers guarding the city did not hide behind the parapet in time, and suffered some casualties from this indiscriminate shooting.
The power of this arrow is really terrifying. It can penetrate even wood and stone armor from a distance of 350 steps. Gold armor will also suffer damage if it hits a weak point. Moreover, the arrow speed is extremely fast. If you want to push it away,
It’s also a test of skill.
Huang Zhong held one in his bare hands and felt the power in it, as well as the arrow that looked very penetrating, and... the front and back ends were made of iron, and his expression changed.
Although the opponent obviously does not have any special archery skills, which makes it impossible to break through the constraint of "the arrow will fly randomly no matter how hard it is after more than 350 steps", but... this power is really strong!
Coupled with this powerful arrow, within 350 steps, it can even shoot through ordinary Ji Zao soldiers and continue to damage the back row!
At this level, one-on-one, Huang Zhong would just chuckle. Even if seven or eight appeared at the same time, Huang Zhong would only lament that there are so many talented people in the General's Mansion, and then deal with it calmly, but... there are hundreds of them now?
If Chen Gong knew what he was thinking, he would be very helpless - there is no way. Although the Jingnan Expeditionary Army is a frontline army, its supplies are too difficult. Until now, among the more than 5,000 generals, less than ten are equipped with first-generation Zhenqi crossbows.
One part, the total number is only 500 pairs!
At this time, there are only about a hundred ladders at the top of the eight ladders, all held by the generals...
It's a pity that you can't see thousands of generals, each with a Qi crossbow!
Soon the other party also immediately felt the true terror of the Zhenqi Crossbow. It was almost a continuous rain of five small arrows, faster than a normal bow!
Afterwards, the speed gradually slowed down and the power became much smaller, but the range was still 350 steps.
Just when they were approaching 200 steps, the soldiers who were used to being under Huang Zhong's command had already begun to gear up.
Normally, this is not within their reach, but...
I saw Huang Zhong shoot an arrow into the sky, and the golden light arrows scattered in the air into countless arrows. They did not fall on the enemy, but on every soldier around him!
Then the eyes of the soldiers who were hit by the light arrows, whether they were generals or Ji Zao soldiers, had light golden eye shadow.
At the same time... everyone felt that their eyesight had been greatly improved, especially when they aimed their bows, they felt that time was passing a little slower, and the bows and arrows in their hands were much more "friendly" than before.
There was no need for Huang Zhong to give orders or pass orders. Naturally, the soldiers who were cared for by the "Fierce Bow" began to alternate long-range shots in rounds of tacit understanding...
However, Huang Zhong soon discovered that the other party actually started shooting from the arrow holes in large numbers!
Even though he has activated his own enhanced group combat skill "Fierce Bow", the arrow rain of his soldiers is still on par with the opponent in terms of range and power?
This is two hundred steps!
Generally, a longbow can only be used for about 150 steps...
There is no advantage in height, and the range is actually under Fierce Bow, so there is no advantage?
The only advantage the city defenders currently have is that there are more people on the city wall than on the ladder, and... Huang Zhong's heavy shot, although I don't know how many lives of the generals or Ji Zao soldiers were taken away with one arrow, but it can
What we can see is that it has an obvious effect in suppressing morale.
Every time Huang Zhong shoots through, the corresponding covered bridge car or Lu Gong car's shooting speed will slow down for a while, obviously frightened by the destructive power of the arrow...
Of course, with this level of heavy shooting, even Huang Zhong cannot keep moving continuously. He will be out of breath after thirty arrows - an ordinary trained archer will open a stone bow to seven or eight points and shoot arrows continuously.
You will be exhausted after seven or eight times.
"Struggles, step forward and hold on!" Huang Zhong ordered directly after the ladder got closer.
Several gilded warriors, together with a heavy-armored Ji-made soldier, each seven or eight of them holding a push rod more than ten meters long, under the protection of the shield-wielding warriors, stood behind the female wall and thought hard.
Hold on to the ladder.
There are grooves in front of the push rod, which are normally used to push a ladder or an ordinary long ladder to the top of the wall.
A professionally trained strongman can even push back a ladder that has been climbed by more than a dozen people!
But now... the covered bridge carriage can still barely resist, but the riders on Lu Gong's carriage, the lowest level, all stand up and pedal, and the heavy armored infantry are also pushed so that the soles of their boots rub backwards.
On the top floor of Lu Gong's car, close to the edge of the female wall, still five or six steps away, the baffle that was already in tatters and full of arrows in front of it was put down directly at this time, and it happened to be placed on the top of the wall.
The generals who had already prepared their battles all used their strength on the baffle and jumped up!
Taking advantage of the slight confusion of the defenders on the wall, it was easier for Lu Gong's chariot to forcefully come up. The platforms of the four Lu's Gong chariots were connected to the city wall. After sharing the pressure, the covered bridge chariot was finally able to get closer.
Although those who ascended first will still face the siege and the situation is still unfavorable, but... they have not suffered too many casualties. Even so far, there is not much difference in the casualty ratio between the two sides, and the siege party has forced the first
Come on, this has demonstrated the role of mechanics, materials science, and the engineering system!
Even Huang Zhong, who possesses the "Fierce Bow" combat skill, is defending the city. Otherwise, the defending side may have to "suffer" even more, which directly changes the concept of war in attacking and defending the city...
