The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Ha ha ha ha ha!

A neat and loud bugle was shouted from the mouths of each soldier, the sound shook the world, and the entire plain was slightly shaken by this sound for tens of miles around.

The savages on the city wall were no exception, and all of them changed their complexions. Obviously, they were succeeded by this method of taking advantage of the large number of people and strict discipline to hit their morale.

The long sword was retracted into the scabbard, and Zhong Yu's order had already been conveyed to various places by the surrounding messengers, and the entire army moved accordingly. 30,000 crossbowmen came to the front of the formation, lined up neatly, one by one Around the city wall, until the strike range can cover the entire city.

The crossbowmen were divided into three columns and shot one by one in three batches in order to achieve perfect uninterrupted coverage shooting. 30,000 people were divided into three shooting segments, and only 10,000 crossbowmen shot each time. Two, and the third connected up, just filling up the three-second interval between the crossbows.

Fluffy! With the shaking of the crossbow strings in the air, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows flew in unison. Like rain, it shot down on the barbarian guarding the city, bringing up a spray of blood, and the barbarian who was shot fell to the ground without a sound.

The lethality of the crossbow arrows was originally only a persistent wound. Unless it hits a vital point, it will not be too deadly. Ordinary people can persist for a long time before dying of excessive bleeding. However, Zhong Yu added Two processes.

The first one is that many people will use it to cast poison on the arrowhead of the crossbow. Zhong Yu's poison is very toxic, and it spreads quickly when it sees blood. The onset time is extremely short, and the lethality is extremely impressive!

The second process is to tamper with the arrows of the arrows. The crossbows are penetrating, and even the powerful enough crossbows can directly penetrate a person's body, so that the damage to the person is not too great.

Zhong Yu suddenly had a whim, if the crossbow arrow suddenly burst in the middle of the arrow branch when it penetrated the human body, and scattered into filaments, just like a bamboo pole being crushed, the originally hard body would be divided into pieces. , strands of bamboo strands, sharp and difficult to remove.

In this case, it is basically impossible to take out the body of the enemy shot by the crossbow arrow. Those twigs will always stay in their body, torturing them, and if they move, they will feel extremely painful. Die fast!

After the addition of these two adjustment procedures by Zhong Yu, the crossbow arrows that were not very lethal before suddenly became more powerful, which greatly increased the lethality of the crossbow arrows!

The barbarians on the city wall are like this now. After fighting with Liu Bei, they have gotten used to the power of those crossbows. But it's not very strong. For barbarians, it's still within the tolerable range!

But now, when they saw the troops before the city wall, they still took out the same weapons as Liu Beijun's bow and crossbow before that. They were just a little scared at first, but they were not very nervous, and they were used to it!

But they didn't expect that Liu Bei's crossbows were just searched by Zhong Yu from the imperial courts and local aristocratic families in the Three Kingdoms world!

It's just some defective products and outdated equipment that Zhong Yu made up his mind to eliminate long ago, which is far inferior to the Liannu created by Zhong Yu's system.

Not only can it not fire continuously, but also the rate of fire is extremely slow. It can only shoot two or three shots a minute, but how can it compare to 20 shots a minute? It has stronger penetrating power and a longer range, and the arrows have been processed. A new type of continuous crossbow that has become extremely powerful!

Therefore, these barbarians committed common habitual empiricism, and were stunned by Zhong Yu's sudden new weapon, causing heavy casualties all at once!

Let those barbarians who had only taken a few thick wooden cards and covered their vital points a little bit without too much defense.

The 10,000 barbarian defenders standing on the city wall were immediately dropped by this wave of arrows, and one or two thousand of them fell, but this did not end, and the continuous arrows followed, wave after wave Shoot to the head of the city.

After nine rounds, each batch of soldiers shot him three waves of arrows, and in just nine seconds, he had already poured out 90,000 arrows, resulting in the greatest siege effect that the crossbow formation could achieve!

Later, when the barbarian defenders on the city wall who had reacted could not cause too obvious damage and results, Zhong Yu ordered them to stop shooting!

You know, although these arrows are very cheap to exchange for raw materials in the system, and he can exchange for the raw materials that he can make 1,000 arrows with a little luck, but in just nine seconds, Zhong Yu has already set foot in other 90 arrows. Luck point, a few more shots, hundreds of luck points will be gone.

This war is not about people, it is about money! This sentence Zhong Yu has a deep understanding of this. Among other things, just these soldiers in front of them, they exchanged luck points from the Three Kingdoms world by themselves.

Which of the weapons on their bodies was not made by using the convenience of the system, exchanging various advanced technologies, and precious materials for them!

Otherwise, how could there be such advanced weapons and all kinds of powerful equipment based on the primitive feudal society of the Three Kingdoms! But all of this can't escape one word, money, that is, luck!

And Zhong Yu is just out of luck right now, so how could he waste it at will? You can only save and save, and try to save those luck points from various places for long-term development and maximum benefit.

Now the maximum effect of the crossbow array has been completed, and the 10,000 defenders on the city wall have been defeated by five or six thousand, and many of the remaining people have some minor injuries. It can be said that their morale is low and they were hit by themselves. To the extreme!

Think about it, in such a scene, the two armies are facing each other, and one side is still waiting for the enemy to come to fight them hand-to-hand. Then the enemy hits himself with a long-range weapon at a distance, and loses most of the results of the battle.

I have suffered heavy losses, but the enemy has not lost a hair. How can this make the morale of those troops without long-range strike weapons low and frightened!

This is the case on the city wall now, even though when the crossbow array was shooting just now, some barbarian leaders with extraordinary strength opened their protection and protected some barbarians.

But most of the barbarians can only find bunkers on the city walls, or find some shields for protection, but they find that most of the defense methods they have made based on previous experience are useless.

The shooting speed, penetrating power, and killing effect of the enemy's crossbow bolts far exceeded the power of any previous crossbow bolts, which directly made them unable to react and lost so many companions.

What's more, some tried to vent their grudges, like the chief of the big tribe Jones in the northern region before, forming a barrier to block the shooting of arrows.

But he was horrified to find that his diaphragm, which could block or even deflect arrows, was easily pierced by those arrows with greater penetrating power, and through the diaphragm, he killed the barbarian soldiers who thought they were absolutely safe .

Even the person with extraordinary strength who released his dou qi diaphragm accidentally died under the arrows in such a moment of aggrievedness, and was shot into a certain hornet's nest!
