Chapter 1116: Bloody Battle (1)

A brief and fierce rush made the foot of the mountain full of Qin army's corpses.

This group of suicide squadrons took advantage of the smoke and sneaked to the foot of the mountain and broke out from the fire. Their purpose was to destroy the arrogant thunder fire. Although these black and black guys could not reach the catapult on the top of the mountain, they had too much damage to the entire position system. The catapults on the mountain had a limited threat to them. It took a long time to launch them, but the shooting distance was fixed and the shooting angle was fixed. They missed a shot. They took a long time to adjust the shooting distance angle. When they raised their eyes, they found that the guys had already moved to another position.

They successfully launched a raid. How many soldiers were there to protect those guys? The guards of about a hundred people, they could kill at least one or two of them.

But what they didn't expect was that when they rushed out of the fire and killed these black guys, they were facing another strange guy.

It was the Ming army's rushing car. They only appeared once when fighting against the Qi army. In two years, their appearance had changed drastically. The original wooden shell was only wrapped with a layer of iron sheet. More importantly, their speed was greatly accelerated. In the past, a layer of filler was wrapped outside the iron wheels, which was made of inflating them with animal skins. Although the wear was extremely serious and they had to be replaced every time, for the army that was committed to improving lethality and convenience, this consumption was really tolerated.

This invention led to a rapid increase in the price of animal skins in the Ming Dynasty and even in the Chu State. Because in the Ming Dynasty, this inflatable wheel has become another standard for luxury carriages. After a series of reforms such as four-wheels, steering shafts, shock absorption, etc., this wheel has made the price of luxury carriages in the Ming Dynasty climb up a little further.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, some people paid for it, because the Ming Dynasty now has the most merchants, so in order to fill the storefront, such luxurious configuration is absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, when you go out to discuss business, people will feel that your strength is limited, and they will look down on you a little bit. So even if you are slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat, you must prepare one of these things.

The Qin army had never seen this thing, but the crossbow on the thing was clearly telling them that the huge danger was approaching.

The crossbow machine rang out, and groups of Qin people who launched the charge turned over and fell. The flying chariots were approaching, and the crossbow arrows were like rain that made them unable to launch any effective attacks.

Five hundred people, and in a few breaths, the bodies filled the road of their charge. A dozen chariots gathered from several directions. The soldiers on the chariot looked around for a few glances, and then roared and dispersed again.

On the mountain, Ma Xin couldn't see the battle below, but he could see rows of fireballs still falling, and the enemy's strike force did not weaken at all. Then he knew that his commando was reimbursed.

The entire northern slope was blazing with fire and thick smoke. Some exposed rocks on the ground were burned and burst constantly. Ma Xin's muscles twitched. Almost all the ground facilities had been destroyed and lost the role they should have happened.

Next, the enemy will start attacking and attack directly. He looked at the somewhat messy position on the north slope. After these carpet bombings that didn't look at the target at all, he lost hundreds of people, and the commando team that went down the mountain, thousands of people were gone.

But this is just the beginning! Ma Xin's eyes showed a fierce light. You always have to send infantry to attack. That was the moment when we showed off our might.

The thick smoke gradually blew away by the wind, and the things that could be burned on the northern slope were basically burned completely. When the commanders of the warring sides finally could clearly see each other again, the Ming army began a formal attack.

A row of spearmen and a row of swords and shields were in a very standard configuration and began to attack towards the almost burnt north slope, but the distance between each team was much further than the normal distance.

On the Ming army's positions, drums rumbling. Every soldier who had been through the battlefield understood that the bloody battle was the real beginning. He was beaten up by the enemy before, but now he was about to turn around.

"Many people will die." Chen Shaowei whispered in his heart, but if any war does not kill anyone, generals like him who slowly get up from the bottom have seen too many deaths and have long regarded it as a part of his life. At this time, he needs to use his death and blood to attract all the enemies on the mountain to the north slope, creating the best opportunity for Kezhen's last blow.

The Qin people's catapults on the top of the mountain, which had been silent for a moment, sounded again, and stones weighing dozens of kilograms fell from the sky. The soldiers looked up at the stones and looked at the stones in a mess. Dozens of stones fell down at a time, and the area that could be covered was not very large. Except for these areas that were attacked, soldiers from other places began to speed up. From the initial trot to the current fast charge, the catapults had shooting angles. As long as they moved up a distance, they could avoid the death strike from the top of their heads.

From time to time, soldiers will be hit by stone bullets that break through the air. The result of the frontal hit is that there will naturally be no complete bone on the whole body. Even if it is rubbed, it will basically say goodbye to the normal life. Fortunately, the Qin army did not polish these stones into round stone bullets. After these stones fall to the ground, they rarely roll, otherwise the casualties will increase exponentially.

The first batch of 1,000 people successfully broke through the threat range of the catapult, and then they ushered in the heart-wrenching whistle of the powerful crossbow.

Facing this powerful weapon, it is meaningless to avoid it, because when you hear his whistle, he has arrived in front of you. At this time, you can only bet on the character of the people. The Qin army's crossbow machine is quite bulky. The last time the string required several soldiers to take action together and use their strength, so the firing rate was quite slow. Although it would cause a large casualty each time, the damage caused was actually limited.

The Ming army's powerful crossbow was improved on the basis of this kind of crossbow machine. The use of mechanical bracelet winding, and only three soldiers were required to operate a crossbow machine, and the winding speed was increased several times. More importantly, the Ming army's powerful crossbow, like their crossbow machine, were installed on a steering low seat, and the upper and lower shooting angles could be adjusted at will.

Sequential corpses flew up, and blood rain seemed to be falling in the sky. The Ming army in the attack did not pause at all, and the drums behind them were rumbling, louder and louder.

The sound of the catapult in his ear disappeared, the sound of the crossbow lost, the sword and shield soldiers suddenly accelerated, desperately catching up with the spearmen, surpassing them, and then raised the shield in their hands.

Almost as they completed this action, locust-like feather arrows had fallen from the sky, and there were constant jingles and people cried and fell to the ground from time to time.

The third-level defense, this had already had the last wave of long-range attacks, and all the Ming troops began to shout, because next, they would have to fight against the Qin army in close combat.

The moment the feather arrow stopped suddenly, the spearmen accelerated and rushed past the sword and shield soldiers who were protecting them. Their team became much sparse, and the missing companions in the middle were either lying on the road of attack forever, or were injured and unable to launch an attack again. Without the command of the commander, the spearmen automatically moved closer, making the team appear tighter, although at this time, their attack width had dropped.

"Kill!" A shocking cry sounded. Rows of Qin troops on the mountain stood up from the age of hiding, stood up from the broken low walls, stood up from the ravines, held the swords and guns in their hands tightly, and rushed towards the Ming army that was attacking.

The two armies immediately killed each other. At this time, no matter how sharp the long-range offensive weapon was, it lost its function. Everyone could only rely on the swords and guns in their hands and their companions around them.

When the Ming army's first wave of more than 1,000 teams reached the first Qin army's defense line on the mountain, only more than 700 people remained, and they were facing almost twice their opponents.

Screams came one after another, and at this time, human life was as low as a dog.

The second wave of support troops of the Ming army was almost repeating the tactical movements of the first wave of teams. These were part of the training on weekdays, but only mechanical repetitions were made during training. But now, every time you move forward, you will lose some partners forever. The stimulation of death caused a large burst of hormones on the glands, and they ran faster than usual.

The brothers have already fought each other and now they need their support.

Li Daxiong is a special one among the second wave of charge soldiers. He is the shooter of a crossbow machine. A crossbow machine of the Ming army is equipped with a shooter, a soldier who replaces the arrow box, a soldier carrying the arrow box, and a reserve. There are several shooter groups like them in the second wave of attack groups. Their mission is to rush up and choose a place, set up a crossbow machine, and provide support to the brothers. At this moment, he was carrying a crossbow machine on his shoulder and half-bearing and running desperately. They need to break through several long-range fire strike networks of the enemy to reach their destination. During the charge, Li Daxiong had already chosen a place, which was a protruding rock, which was burned black at this time, and his companions could hide behind him. As for him, as a crossbow machine, of course, he could not hide. He had to operate the crossbow machine to shoot. If he died, the reserve shooter would take his position.

Every crossbowman in the Ming army was tall and big. The reason for this choice was very simple, because when fighting on the battlefield, this crossbowman needed to move from time to time. As a standard configuration for field troops, the crossbowman of the Ming army had replaced the role of archers. Therefore, this crossbowman weighing dozens of pounds could not take them to keep up with the army's charge speed without a good body.

The threat of death always surrounds them, and Li Daxiong turned a deaf ear to it. At this time, any pause may lead to death.

The soldier carrying the arrow box beside him groaned and fell to the ground. Li Daxiong didn't even blink. He picked up the arrow box on the ground and continued to run forward. The moment he bent down, he saw a feather arrow shot on the face of his companion, and it was no longer helpful. At this time, he could not waste a little time. Even if he had any help, Li Daxiong would not stop at this time.

Finally arrived, Li Daxiong almost pounced on the rock, looked back and saw that one less person following him, and the preparatory snatcher fell less than ten steps away from him.

Just a glance, Li Daxiong pressed the crossbow on the ground, took off three short steel kegs from his waist, took off a small hammer from one side of the crossbow, and nailed the steel keg along the three small eyes of the base of the crossbow in a few seconds, fixing the crossbow tightly.
