"Crossbowman, shoot from behind to counterattack! Shield man, form shield formation, guard!"
Under the city wall, looking at the rain of arrows shot from the top of the city, Wang Jian raised the sword in his hand and ordered with a cold expression. The black torrent changed instantly, and the crossbowman in the center raised his sword at a 45-degree angle at the same time.
The crossbow in his hand, when he pulled the trigger, instantly turned into an overwhelming rain of cold arrows, flying straight towards the city. Mixed with the
The archers among the crossbowmen bent their bows and nocked arrows, staring coldly at the soldiers who dared to take the lead on the top of the city. They used all their strength to shoot deadly arrows, leaving streaks of cold light and blooming blood.
Hua. The shield bearer at the front also formed a two-story steel city wall in an instant, blocking all the arrows shot from the city wall.
The arrows rained sharply against each other, and blood flowers bloomed continuously.
Even though Xu Rong's command did not make any mistakes, facing the Qin attack and shooting formation commanded by Wang Jian, even though he had the advantage of the location and relied on the city wall, the disadvantage in terms of military strength and the gap in the ability of the soldiers still made him suffer.
Seeing the Xiliang soldiers on the top of the city gradually retracting their heads inward under the pressure of their own army, Wang Jian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved his sword in his hand, followed by orders one after another.
"Attack! Attack! Attack!"
The sound shook the sky, and the formation of the black torrent changed rapidly again. The Daqin soldiers roared neat chants, and shot out the arrows in their hands as fast as lightning. The black clouds slowly formed, with a formidable cold light.
The overwhelming sky and earth fell towards the city head again.
Next to Xu Rong, the deputy general just showed up to observe the situation. Seeing the dense rain of arrows pouring down like a black cloud, his pupils instantly dilated and then contracted. He quickly pounced and hid under the parapet in embarrassment, roaring loudly.
He said, "The enemy is shooting up arrows, prepare to be on guard!"
It was a good thing that he didn't roar. This roar instantly caused the Xiliang soldiers who were just hiding behind the battlements to panic before they had time to observe what they found under the city.
"What are you yelling about!" Xu Rong was under the female wall. When he heard the deputy general's roar, he roared with a serious expression. Then he picked up a shield and shouted in a deep voice against the rain of arrows, "Shield hand, raise the shield! Arrange in formation! No.
The person with the shield returns behind the parapet and takes cover!”
Xu Rong's calm voice naturally carried a convincing power and charm. The originally panicked Xiliang soldiers instantly calmed down. Some smart elite soldiers immediately obeyed the order and gathered together, raising the shields in their hands together.
, behind the wall stacks, a great steel wall was formed, blocking the overwhelming black arrow rain.
Other soldiers without shields either obeyed the order and quickly rolled back behind the female wall, lowering their bodies to avoid the arrows, or they simply came behind the shield wall and lay down to avoid it. On the Pingyang City Wall, as
Xu Rong's command gradually stabilized the formation and calmed down slowly.
"The shield hand gives way, the archer takes a hundred steps, and shoots back!" After a pause in the arrow rain, Xu Rong put down the shield in his hand, glanced towards the city again, and ordered loudly.
The arrow rain started again. Under the command of Xu Rong, the soldiers of Xiliang gradually adapted to Wang Jian's offensive and gradually calmed down. Following Xu Rong's order, they began to counterattack in an orderly manner. The arrow rain of the archers and the shield hand's
Defense, combined with each other. Even because of the advantages of the city wall, to a certain extent, they exchanged fire with the Qin soldiers who were far superior to them, firmly stabilizing the formation at the top of the city.
"General!" Under the city, the deputy general next to Wang Jian looked at the temporarily deadlocked situation. His expression changed slightly. He turned to Wang Jian and asked for instructions, "Do you want to change your formation and launch a strong attack?"
"No need!" Wang Jian waved his hand, "Xu Rong's defeat has been decided. It's just a long-range shooting with arrows. If we attack at close range, the loss will be too great and the gain will not be worth the loss! What's more, according to Xu Rong's temperament, Xiliang in the city
Sooner or later, the soldiers will also be our soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. If you can kill less, then kill less!"
After the words fell, Wang Jian waved his hand to the messenger on the side, "Let Wang San'er and the others take action!"
"Promise!" The messenger nodded and responded, waving the command flag in his hand towards the high ground where Wang Jian had just dispatched two thousand crossbowmen, conveying Wang Jian's order.
"Master Captain, the general has issued an order!" On the high ground, a black-armored soldier looked at the order from the ordering soldier in the distance and quickly shouted to the man on the side.
"Okay!" Wang Saner's expression flashed with joy, "Brothers, the general's order has been issued. It's time for us to show off our capabilities. Take out the equipment you brought, assemble it quickly, and prepare to attack!"
"No!" With an order, the two thousand crossbowmen put down their crossbows at the same time, took out a piece of strange equipment from behind and put it down. Then they gathered around in groups of three and three, and quickly
The changes are assembled
, and another part of the crossbowmen put down their weapons, turned around and opened the arrow baskets that the soldiers had just carried. They saw that the baskets, which were far larger than the size of ordinary arrow baskets, were polished into round pieces.
shaped stones.
The hand speed increased, and under the phantoms, those strange instruments instantly turned into dozens of trebuchets, standing neatly on the high ground.
"Load the stone bullets! Get ready!" Wang San'er's expression flashed with a sharp look, pointing at Pingyang County in the distance and shouting, "Let go!"
"Crunch~"
The heavy and harsh sound could be heard very clearly even from more than a hundred steps away. Xu Rong's expression changed and he said sternly, "Get down~"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
With a harsh roar, dozens of trebuchets roared at the same time, and dozens of stone bullets were mixed in the rain of arrows like black clouds, and landed on the city wall in no particular order.
In an instant, the ground shook, and the entire city wall seemed to be in doom.
A general of the Xiliang Army was walking around on the top of the city, boosting morale and carrying out Xu Rong's orders. Suddenly, a shrill whistling sound came to his ears. Before he had time to react, he was struck by a stone bullet that fell from the sky.
It hit him so hard that he didn't even have time to scream. Half of his body was directly smashed by the stone bullet. Scarlet blood burst out from the pile of flesh in an instant, and his beating internal organs splashed everywhere.
On the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers who had just stabilized under Xu Rong's command and were carrying out a tacit counterattack were once again plunged into an unprecedented panic. At this moment, all the Xiliang soldiers had forgotten to fight back.
Cooperating, he just stared at the sky in horror, running left and right on the city wall, trying to stay away from the terrifying stone bullet that had landed on him without knowing when.
