Chapter 172 Attacking the Dog(2/2)
Kepotanji's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "There is an enemy attack..."
Before he finished speaking, the wall beside him shattered, and earth and rocks flew everywhere.
A bronze arrow as thick as a war spear, with curse lines flashing on the arrow shaft, suddenly penetrated the wall.
A strange pattern appeared on Kepotanji's chest. As soon as the pattern emitted light and blocked him in front of him, the arrow was forced into his chest, breaking through the defense in an instant. With one arrow, a bloody hole was pierced in Kepotanji's chest.
Buzz!
The penetrating force brought by the arrow caused Kepotanji's majestic body to fly up, and he was nailed to the opposite wall, with blood splattering!
Kebadanji's eyes were wide-eyed and he could not rest in peace.
A few hundred meters outside Rongcheng, under the windy and snowy night, the generals of the Yeyu Mansion gathered on a low hill.
Xia Xin excitedly patted the large siege equipment in front of him, a row of more than twenty siege crossbows.
The siege crossbow, also called the bed crossbow, first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was mounted on a winch and was very powerful, but it was inconvenient to carry and extremely heavy.
It is the size of a bed, is taller than an ordinary person, and has four wheels underneath.
A bed crossbow can be equipped with multiple bow beds to twist the axle at the rear to open the bow and load arrows. It can also be used with multiple people twisting the axes to make several bows fire arrows at the same time.
Its ejection power far exceeds that of a crossbow used by a single person.
Half a month ago, Fan Qingzhou received news of the sudden movement of the Quanrong troops, and Zhao Huaizhong immediately ordered a surprise attack on the Quanrong troops.
But this time it was different from the last attack on White Wolf City.
Last time, Zhao Huaizhong was the prince of Qin, not the monarch, and the Qin army he could mobilize was limited.
This time we came to fight against the Quanrong, but a large army pressed forward. Although it was a surprise attack, the purpose was to completely defeat the Quanrong.
The generals of Ye Yu Mansion are just the vanguard.
Behind them, there are three Qin army troops of ten thousand people, marching rapidly, commanded by famous Qin generals Yang Ruihe, Wang Ben and others, approaching Rongcheng.
Just because of the snowy winter, when the Zhao people were busy coordinating all forces and preparing to attack Qin in the spring, no one thought that the Qin people would kick off the war first and raise their troops to attack the Quanrong.
After Zhao Huaizhong issued the order, Ye Yufu immediately spent half a month collecting information, making preparations, and looking for a suitable time to start the war.
The generals of Ye Yufu, commander of Baiyao, arrived first. The routine was still the same as when they attacked Bailang City, but the fighting method had changed.
This time it was not a beheading operation, but a large army pressing down on the border.
Baiyao and others, as the vanguard, brought the Qin army's large-scale engineering equipment with small gourds, including more than twenty crossbows, which were lined up on a low hill outside Rongcheng.
They descended from the sky, attacked and killed a squad of patrolling dog soldiers, then deployed their crossbows and fired a volley.
"Cum again!"
Baiyao waved his hand.
More than a thousand elite troops from the imperial palace, plus more than a thousand secret Qin troops, lined up under the low hill and were ready.
Xia Xin and others personally controlled more than twenty crossbows, strung the gallows, and fired giant spear-like arrows in turn.
For a moment, arrows shot through the air and continued to shoot into Rongcheng.
The bed crossbow in this world, blessed by the power of the curse pattern, is powerful enough to break armor instantly, and can even penetrate a city wall several feet thick without the protection of the pattern pattern. The lethality is astonishing. Even if the Holy Land is suddenly attacked, it will also
will be shot.
At this time, no one noticed that Kepotanji, the leader of the Quanrong, was unlucky and shot him to death in the first volley of crossbows.
After Baiyao and others fired volley after round, screams could be heard one after another in Rongcheng, and chaos broke out.
"Deputy Shi Bai, when do we rush into the city?"
Xia Xin held the ghost-headed hammer in his hand, and his body was shaking with excitement.
"There are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses of Quanrong and various tribes gathered in Rong City at this time. We have two thousand vanguard troops. Do you want to enter the city?
We have to wait for the rear army to come up and defeat the Quanrong army in one fell swoop." Baiyao's voice was low.
At this time, the Quanrong generals in Rong City reacted quickly after being attacked and were organizing the elite Quanrong troops to assemble.
These dog soldiers were not afraid of death, and they actually charged in the direction of the bed crossbow.
