Chapter 237: Shocking Repeating Crossbow
Seeing that all the Han troops blocking the road ahead retreated to Yanmen Pass, the morale of Xianbei soldiers rose sharply.
"The Han army is vulnerable, rush in! Grab money, grain, and women! Kill all the Han people!"
However, just as they were rushing towards Yanmen Pass in a mad manner, they saw a tall figure slowly appearing at the city gate on a horse.
"It's that big man with red face and long beard!"
The Xianbei soldiers all changed their faces.
In the war last year, this red-faced Han general, with two thousand cavalry, rushed among tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, as if he had entered a no-man. Such powerful scenes left a deep impression on the Xianbei soldiers who already advocated martial arts. Even if more than half of the Xianbei cavalry at the scene had not participated in that war, they often heard other comrades mention it.
At this time, I saw him appear at the city gate, followed by a large group of cavalry. Even if the other party stood still, the Xianbei cavalry felt vaguely murderous, which made many of them instinctively stop the war horses.
The closer this mountain road outside Yanmen Pass is to the pass, the narrower the road is.
The cavalry that rushed in the front was only thirty or forty steps away from the gate, and there were only a side by side to accommodate more than one hundred cavalry.
Among the more than a hundred people, thirty or forty cavalry stopped. Seeing that they stopped, the other cavalrymen didn't know why, and then stopped there after a few more steps.
This immediately caused a series of chain reactions.
There were many cavalrymen behind him who were unknown. Seeing that they stopped in front, even if they didn't want to stop, they had no way to go and had to stop.
"What's going on! Why stop for no reason!"
Kuitou was in the middle of the army and shouted angrily.
When Liu He on the city tower saw this scene, he was so happy that he almost whistled to the sky.
"The power of the second brother will be spread throughout the grassland in the future, which will make everyone in the Hu tribe frightened!"
At this time, Ye Xiang walked over.
"Lord, the enemy is large and we are few, and General Guan is unable to support him. Will he use the Jingshen crossbow to support him?"
After he said this, Liu He suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, three blacksmith masters ordered people to send a batch of things.
It turned out that it was two crossbow maps he gave them last year, among which the Divine Arm Bow had been created long ago, and was given to Ye Xiang and Qu Hang one by one.
Now the Jingshen Crossbow has finally been successfully developed, but this thing is complicated to make. The three masters and many of their assistants and disciples are the first to make it and are not skilled, so the first batch of them has always been built.
"I almost forgot about such a big killer! Use it quickly!"
This cross of the striking crossbow had long been fixed on the city tower and was just covered with black cloth.
At this time, Ye Xiang ordered people to pull off the black cloth, and large crossbows about one person were revealed.
The launch ports of these crossbows are in total, with five arrows in each row, and twenty crossbow arrows can be fired at a time. The length and thickness of each crossbow arrow are about twice as large as ordinary crossbow arrows.
Ye Xiang shouted to Guan Yu, who was slowly walking out of the city gate step by step under the city tower.
"General Guan, just let our army guard the city gate. Don't rush into the enemy's formation too deep!"
Guan Yu looked up and saw the large crossbows, and immediately understood what was going on.
Kuitou also saw these crossbows and was shocked.
"This kind of strange thing has never been seen before, and it looks very powerful!"
"Chief, do we need to retreat some distance? As long as we have a range, I think no matter how strong the crossbow cannon is, it will not threaten us."
Kuitou was also frightened when he looked at the crossbows, but when he saw Yanmen Pass was right in front of him, he seemed to be within reach, retreating hundreds of steps away. When the Han army was resting and the troops that had previously pressed on the front line again, would he have to spend a lot of his lives to charge again?
"No! The city gate must rush in no matter what! When you retreat, and think about it again, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is better to do everything in one go to minimize casualties!"
He pointed forward with a horse whip.
"My boys, the Han army is at the end of its strength. Don't pay attention to it and rush in directly!"
The Xianbei cavalry who received the Kuitou order had some doubts in their hearts, and could not bear to think at this time, so they patted their war horses and rushed out.
Guan Yu dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Sword behind the horse, and the purple gold dragon cavalry behind him stood on both sides behind him, lifted up the spear, and pointed forward.
Ye Xiang personally took the order flag and waved it forward.
"put!"
"bass……"
After a violent sound, two hundred large crossbow arrows shot out.
"puff……"
After a group of Xianbei soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows, they were directly taken out of the horse's back by the huge impact force of the crossbow arrows. Several of them flew backwards and also smashed their comrades behind them.
"What a shocking crossbow!"
Liu He and others applauded.
The Anmin Army soldiers up and down the city tower, some of whom were braver, were hiding not far behind the city gate, were very excited by the power of the crossbow!
The only two hundred crossbow arrows were shocking to the Xianbei army, but they exceeded the rain of arrows in the Shenji Camp before!
"What's this thing, so powerful!"
Kuitou's face turned slightly pale.
But he quickly woke up.
"Don't hesitate, keep rushing in! As long as you rush into the pass, no matter how powerful the crossbow cannon is, it will not threaten us!"
The Xianbei soldiers also suddenly realized that they might have to be dealt with by military law anyway. In addition to rushing forward and rushing forward, there are other ways to do tomorrow.
The crossbow arrow of the Jingshen Crossbow was reloaded and shot out again.
It was taking advantage of this gap when loading crossbow arrows that some Xianbei cavalry rushed to the front of the pass.
"Haha, we finally rushed over!"
These people escaped from the shadow of the powerful crossbow arrow. Before they could have time to be happy, they suddenly saw a flash of green light flashing, and then, the person who rushed in the front, his body turned into two sections.
"Hmph, I dare to be so proud in front of Guan!"
Guan Yu snorted coldly, waved the Qinglong sword, and the purple gold dragon cavalry behind him also danced with a spear, and in a blink of an eye, he killed all the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry who rushed over.
The road in front of the pass was already very narrow, and the cavalry range was large, so they could only accommodate more than a dozen or twenty cavalry rushing over at the same time. In this case, Guan Yu personally led his army to guard here, which was really "one man should be the pass and ten thousand men would not open"!
At this time, in the city, in the corner of the alley, several fine works were whispering to each other.
"What should I do? The city gates are always open, but have our mission been completed?"
"How can I know? It should be considered complete..."
"I remembered that the master mentioned that he had sent someone to inform Zhang Yan in Taihang Mountains to attack Yanmen Pass. Why hasn't he come yet? I think the master may have not seen Zhang Yan's army arrive and he didn't see the situation he wanted, so there has been no signal for me to wait for retreat."
"What should I do?"
"It's okay, I know where Zhang Yan's camp is. Let's urge it now. Whether it is successful or not, we will finally do our best. It's not easy for the master to punish him too much."
"Yes, yes, who would have thought that Liu He was such a ruthless character? Let's go and find Zhang Yan."
Several figures crawled out of the alley, cleaned their clothes, and prepared to pretend to be ordinary people and left the rear gate of Yanmen Pass.
At this time, a small group of people suddenly blocked their way.
"Why? I've been hiding in the secret to observe the situation of the war for so long, and my legs must be sore. Just leaving like this, wouldn't it seem that I don't understand the way of hospitality?"
When these people saw this situation, they immediately realized that they had been exposed.
"Escape to all sides!"
Several people made a quick decision and fled in different directions.
"Hmph, a few little shrimps also want to escape from the palm of our An Minjun, which is ridiculous!"
The person who looked like a team leader just clapped his hands, and soon, these fine works that entered various alleys slowly retreated with their hands.
And what forced them back was a series of sharp spears!
"Take it!"
At the command of the team leader, the people were tied up tightly.
Chapter completed!
