Chapter 95 Killing in a string!

The Eight-Nuo Crossbow is also known as the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow. As the name suggests, it is a bed crossbow composed of three large wooden bows. This bed crossbow is roughly composed of components such as front bow, main bow, rear bow, pulley, pulley, pulley, traction hook, crane, bed frame, etc.

Although this Eight Cow Crossbow is huge in size, it is inconvenient to carry and is very difficult to operate. It requires thirty soldiers to cooperate with each other to use it. However, its power is enough to match its size and operation difficulty.

In theory, a good-in-law crossbow can launch a spear up to eight or nine feet long to a distance of three or four hundred steps away. It can also add powder barrels and turbulent oil barrels to the spear (the Mongols used the eight-in-law crossbow to fire crossbow guns with turbulent oil barrels when they attacked Baghdad) to kill the enemy.

It can be said that before the emergence of artillery, even in the early stages of artillery on the stage of history, the Eight Niu Crossbow was the most powerful weapon in the world... no one!

Even the legendary Huihui cannon (counterweight stone generator) is difficult to compare with.

Because the Hui gun cannot be used in field battles, because it cannot shoot directly and can only shoot, it is difficult to aim at the moving target. Moreover, the Hui gun is larger in size and has a range that is not as good as the Eight Niu Crossbow.

Of course, the powerful is huge, even comparable to the early field artillery of the Eight Niu Crossbow, which did not exert much power in the hands of the Song army. The most worthy of mentioning battle record was that the Liao army chief Xiao Talin was shot to death in the Battle of Chanyuan, which to a certain extent promoted the conclusion of the Chanyuan Alliance.

The main reason why this powerful weapon failed to exert its due power in the hands of the Song army was not only that the Song army was more cowardly, but the Song army's enemies usually had strong battlefield mobility. The eight-niu crossbow was difficult to carry, and it was particularly troublesome to fiddle with. By the time the Song army set up the eight-niu crossbow, the enemy would have been transferred long ago.

But today is an exception... The battlefield under the Niangzi Pass was too narrow, and the Jin soldiers seemed to have no place to move except to move backwards.

Moreover, the more than 10,000 Song troops in front of the Madam Pass were like chicken blood... His Highness Yun can say that it is a chaotic time now, so we have to share the world with these martial artists.

So there is one of them in the world. If the thieves want to rob them, they can’t agree!

"Hey! Hey! Hey..."

Amid the sounds of labor horns, 20 Eight-Nuo Crossbows were carried to the forefront by 600 crossbowmen from Zhending Mansion (they were Liu Wei's subordinates, who had been stationed in Niangzi Pass before). They were not arranged in a scattered manner, but were concentrated in the center of the Song army's front line!

These Song army crossbowmen are not good either. They have such large and large crossbows, and they don’t know how to block them with something, so they are swaying on them.

This scared the female real soldiers in the center of the Jin army formation... They had seen such a bed crossbow while fighting in Hedong a few days ago!

This thing is shot like a long spear, and it will be useless to wear many layers of armor. If you shoot it by chance, you can just pick it up a bunch!

As they were about to become a "scrap", a group of Jurchen soldiers were all shouting.

"Suppose the horse Meng'an is there, the Song army has a giant crossbow!"

"If Ma Meng'an is there, we can't stop such a big crossbow!"

"Meng'an, order the attack quickly!"

"We Jurchen Warriors can't stand up and let the giant crossbow shoot..."

Wanyan Shiyama and Yelu Yuji also saw the Song people's bed crossbows! Twenty of them were all concentrated in one place, facing the place where Shiyama and Yelu Yuji were! Looking at the distance, they seemed to be within the range of the bed crossbows!

If this is aimed at it, it will be a little lingering. If one shot is made into a string, it will be hard for the gods to save them.

"Yelu Dujian, have you seen it? Is that a bed crossbow?" Wanyan Shie said as he turned over and got off the horse, and he also used the body of a war horse to block himself. This sleekness is not comparable to that of the elderly Yelu Yukong!

Yelu Yu saw the Eight Niu Crossbows, and he also knew the power of the Eight Niu Crossbows... There were no invincible warriors in front of the Eight Niu Crossbows, and they all shot into a series of accounts.

"Suppose Ma Langjun, that is a bed crossbow, and it seems to be the most powerful Eight-Nuo crossbow among the bed crossbows!" Yelu Yu was a veteran who had been through the battle formation for a long time. At this time, he was not panicked at all, but suggested slowly, "Mr., why not let us retreat first, build a stable camp, hold our feet, and then slowly get rid of the Song army... As long as the deputy marshal wins the pacification army city, we will be sure to win!"

"This is not possible!" Wanyan Shie interrupted Yelu Yujiu without waiting for Yelu Yuji to speak, "It is not easy to attack the military city, and I don't know when it will be broken! The Eastern Army is not clear now. If the Madam Pass continues to consume endlessly, how much food can our Western Army consume?"

In fact, the Western Route Army broke many cities in Hedong and seized a lot of food, but it was not easy to deliver these food to the Jin army that advanced eastward... This is also the reason why Zong Han wanted to besiege Pingding Military City. Pingding Military City is a good place to store grain and grass supplies, and there must be reserves of the Song people in the city. If Pingding Military City can be captured, Wanyan Zonghan would have a reliable logistics storage base.

Shioyama gritted his teeth, "At worst, there will be some casualties... Are my Jurchen Warriors still afraid of death? Yelu Dujian, you will immediately increase 2,000 Khitan Lang to be the first to collide. A certain family will personally lead 2,000 Jurchen Warriors to fight for them!"

Yelu Yujian's official position was actually bigger than that of Shi Yema, but he did not dare not not listen to the orders of Wanyan Shi Yema. He had to order his confidant Han Funu to transfer 2,000 Khitan infantry, which were originally deployed on the left and right wings, and formed a large horizontal formation. In the front row, some strong men held up crossbow guns to block the eight-ox crossbow shot...

Shiyama really ordered 2,000 Jurchen armored soldiers, and formed a large horizontal formation, pressed behind the Khitans, and pushed forward with them. These Jurchen armored soldiers did not bring large weapons, but each carried the Jurchen bow, just preparing to step on the Khitan "string" and approach the Song army to shoot heavy arrows.

......

"No arrows are allowed! No arrows are allowed! Shoot when you are close! Shoot when you are close!"

In front of the Song army, at this time, he heard Li Xiaozhong's loud voice. This guy took the lead today!

Among the 2,000 infantry troops sent by Han Shizhong to the front line, 1,500 were Li Xiaozhong's men, so the temporary dispatch of the "Forward Capital" was given to him!

This was not what Han Shizhong sent to him, but what he asked for himself.

Moreover, his people can really take the lead! His men are all simple men from the northwest, most of whom are archers or young people from other archers, and they all hold their energy to make contributions.

This group of people is different from those veterans of the Western Army... Most of the veterans of the Western Army have fought in the south and north for many years, and many people took advantage of the opportunity of Fang La to send out!

Li Xiaozhong's men were all "evil wolf" with empty hands, and they didn't know what Jurchens were invincible. Most of them had never heard of the Jurchens before leaving Shaanxi.

Since I don’t know about the Jurchens, of course I can’t say I’m afraid. So I’m holding the divine arm bow with arrows at this moment, and I’m not panicked at all.

The Divine Arm Bow is not their only weapon. In front of them, there is a spear with the tip of the gun being inserted down into the soil, and the ring-headed sword on its back is on its back... After shooting the crossbow later, you can pick up the spear and assault directly!

"Stretch!Stretch!Stretch..."

Li Xiaozhong was running around in front of his own formation. When he was shouting, a series of loud sounds of bowstrings suddenly came to his ears!

Li Xiaozhong quickly turned his head and looked at it, and found that the Eight Niu Crossbow placed in front of his own formation had fired the crossbow gun!

More than twenty long spears, eight feet and nine feet long, were bounced out with strong wind, and went to the Khitaner Lang who was charging forward with a big siege. Some of the crossbow guns were high, but most of the crossbow guns were just right into the Khitan formation... One slash was a string!

What are the wooden squids, the iron armor, and the warriors, they all stabbed the spears together... It's so miserable!

When Li Xiaozhong saw these eight-ox crossbows showing his power, he became even stronger and shouted loudly: "Brothers, have you seen it? The golden thief is vulnerable... I will win the Song Dynasty!"

A group of unknown soldiers under him also followed Dahu: "The Song Dynasty will win!"
