Several huge fireballs drew perfect arcs and roared towards us! The officers and soldiers on the top of the city raised their shields and lined up to cover them!

Li Yu was very pleased when he saw it! The performance of the Tang soldiers exceeded his expectations! He thought that these Tang soldiers would panic when faced with such a powerful enemy offensive! Unexpectedly, they were well-trained and responded in an orderly manner!

At this time, Mr. Huo was already standing next to a three-bed crossbow. He loaded a huge arrow with lightning speed. He leaned back and slid his feet backwards. The bow string that took several people to pull was easily fully loaded! He also fine-tuned it.

Direction, shoot out an arrow!

The arrow shot out like a dragon and hit a fireball!

The fireball was made of mud and stone, and it exploded instantly when shot by a giant arrow! There was a loud bang, and sparks filled the sky!

Sparks fell like rain in the mid-air between the two sides! They made a hissing sound when they landed on the snow, and bursts of white gas came out!

boom!

A fireball hit the outer wall of the city, causing rubble to fly and smoke to rise! There was an obvious dent in the city wall!

boom!

boom!

Two fireballs hit the soldiers who were holding up their shields to protect themselves on the top of the city!

The two Tang soldiers who were directly hit by the fireball, together with several soldiers behind them, were blasted several feet away. Their shields were directly smashed and deformed, and the fireball also cracked into several large pieces!

The two Tang soldiers who bore the brunt of the attack were bleeding from their mouths and noses and were already seriously injured!

There were several soldiers nearby who quickly carried them off the top of the city! There was already a doctor waiting in the city!

Li Yu shouted angrily: "Counterattack! Three-bow bed crossbow ready!"

"yes!"

Countless soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty rushed towards the five three-bow crossbows. Mr. Huo immediately got out of the way! He knew that the Tang army had already had its own set of tactics, so occupying their position might affect their combat deployment and combat effectiveness.

!So he naturally made way for Tang Jun.

About thirty-five Tang soldiers were responsible for a three-bow bed crossbow! One person was responsible for loading the arrow, thirty people were responsible for pulling the bow string to prepare the arrow and four people were responsible for turning the bed crossbow to adjust the direction!

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Five giant arrows were shot out instantly!

The arrow shoots out like a dragon, unstoppable!

Under the flag of Wu Yue's army commander, Ye Xuan shouted: "No!" He jumped up from his horse and grabbed Qian Long with his backhand and retreated violently!

Puff puff puff puff puff!

Five giant arrows fell from the sky and slanted down. One shot into the air and was directly buried in the ground. Two of them penetrated Qian Long's and Ye Xuan's mounts into the ground respectively, and the other two hit the two men beside Qian Long.

The guards, including men and horses, were nailed to the ground!

What a miserable death!

All the masters looked at each other, relatively speechless!

When the five giant arrows struck, none of them dared to point them straight!

Japanese samurai Serizawa Tamao stared at a crucified guard next to him with a suspicious expression!

I saw a long arrow as huge as a javelin piercing the guard's left chest, piercing through the left back waist, then piercing through the mount's rear hip, and then piercing through the horse's left thigh, and finally nailed into the ground, leaving only the

The tail of the arrow is above the ground!

Serizawa Tamao frowned and said: "Who could shoot such a powerful arrow? It's incredible!"

Qian Long didn't care to complain that the dozen masters had neglected their duties and forgot to protect himself. He also asked in shock: "Mr. Ye, what is this voice and appearance? Does the Southern Tang Dynasty actually have such a shocking weapon?"

Ye Xuan stared at the top of the city a hundred feet away and said lightly: "This is called a three-bow bed crossbow!"

Although everyone was staring at the city, their thoughts were focused on Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan said: "The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the eight-oxen crossbow, means that it takes the power of eight oxen to pull the bowstring!"

Qian Long's pupils shrank, "The power of eight bulls? How terrifying!" As they say, the power of nine bulls and two tigers, but it seems far away from everyone, and there is no intuitive impression, but the shock that this giant arrow gives everyone is extremely clear.

Incredibly intuitive!

"How many troops are needed to pull the bowstring? What is the maximum range?"

Ye Xuan said: "It takes at least thirty people to pull the bowstring! The range can reach 1,500 steps!"

"Thirty people?" Not only Qian Long was surprised, but the Wu Yue master next to him was also surprised!

"Fifteen hundred steps? Three steps and one foot, isn't it five hundred feet?"

"That's right! We're just within range of them!"

"Damn! I always thought that their bows and arrows couldn't shoot from this distance, but I didn't expect that they actually have this thing!"

Ye Xuan's expression was as he spoke slowly: "The arrow uses hardwood as the shaft and iron as the feather. It is also called one shot and three sword arrows! The three-bow bed crossbow can also fire the treadle arrows! General Qian, fire the treadle arrows

That would be so spectacular! Look at this arrow, which is as big as a javelin and can be nailed directly into the city wall. When attacking the city, as long as it is fired continuously, the rows of arrows will be like a hanging ladder, and soldiers can use it to climb up!"

A bald-headed expert exclaimed in surprise: "Damn it! Isn't it better to use this to attack a city than a ladder? You can shoot it in a row, and then the army can step on it and climb up?"

Ye Xuan said: "That's right! The premise is that the army can attack the city wall!" If it can't break through the opponent's arrow rain, then attacking the city with arrows is just empty talk!

The bald man said: "I didn't expect that the Southern Tang Dynasty could build such a powerful siege weapon!"

Ye Xuan said meaningfully: "The three-bow bed crossbow was actually invented by the Zhou Dynasty! This thing has always been one of the top secrets of the Zhou Dynasty. How many people want to know the blueprint but can't! It is said that the Khitan sent many people to steal the blueprint.

Shao Wulin masters had many bloody battles with Dazhou masters! In the end, they returned without success! Unexpectedly, the Southern Tang Dynasty became the second dynasty to make three-bow crossbows! It seems that the espionage work was done well!"

Qian Long's eyes flashed, "To capture this city, we must seize a three-bow bed crossbow! Then we will also imitate some! Herald!"

The herald beside him said: "Here we are!"

"Tell the slingers to stop attacking the city walls and focus on bombarding the city gates!"

"Got the order!"

The herald quickly waved the five-color flag, and the trebuchet had been loaded. Swish, swish, swish, and five fireballs went straight to the city gate! Although the accuracy was a little off, four hit the city wall, but there was still one after all.

Right in the middle of the city gate!

boom!

The city gate is thick and cannot be broken through at once. The fireball hit the door panel and exploded into a large cloud of sparks. The dust on the top of the city gate was shaken and fell one after another! The soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty behind the city gate were also startled!

Raise your spear and prepare to fight!

Qian Long shouted again: "Herald!"

The herald said: "Here!"

"Build a bridge and attack the city!"

"Got the order!"

The flag is raised high, the gestures are changed, and the war drums sound!

The drums were beating loudly, and Wu Yue's army suddenly became murderous!

On the top of the city, Li Yu's eyes flashed, and the blood in his body began to boil. He looked up to the sky and roared, shouting: "All officers and men, listen to the order!"

All the officers and soldiers on the top of the city responded at the same time: "Here!" This sound was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and the ground shook!

"Archers prepare!"

Hundreds of soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty took off their long bows and bent their bows with arrows!

The Wu and Yue armies below the city began to surge towards Changzhou City like a tide!

Ye Xuan said: "Commander, in order to reduce the casualties of the vanguard troops and try to avoid being shot by the archers on the top of the city, I suggest that we use trebuchets to attack the top of the city as a cover!"

Qian Long was a little confused, "I'm afraid I'll destroy those three-bow crossbows if I hit the city head!"

Ye Xuan said: "Then your casualties and battle losses will be huge!"

At this time Serizawa Tamao said: "Qian-san! Let my people go first! They have shields and are not afraid of Southern Tang's arrows!" He acted very righteous!

Qian Long shook his head deliberately and said: "Mr. Serizawa, we are the main force, why do we have the nerve to let you take the lead?"

Serizawa Tamao said: "What's the point? We are an alliance of brothers, what are the differences between us? Since our Japanese samurai just restrained their archers, we should go first!" Everyone thought: Restraint? What does it mean?

?

Qian Long immediately followed the trend, fearing that the other party would regret it if he was more polite, so he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Serizawa!"

Serizawa Tamayu waved his hand and said generously: "Qian-san! You're welcome!" He then walked a few feet away, took out a flute and started playing it! The sound of the flute was long, penetrating the snow and reaching the skies above the Japanese team! Japanese warriors

Their expressions immediately changed, their eyes were filled with cold light and murderous intent!

"Assi, give it!"

Five thousand people ran forward like wild horses, quickly surpassing Wu Yue's army and flying away!

Qian Long said: "This Japanese can also play the flute!"

Ye Xuan said: "That's not called a flute! It's called a Shakuhachi!"
