Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 431: Retreat First
Chapter 438: Retreat First
The distance of three hundred steps was crossed in an instant when the Donghu people desperately urged their horses.

1000 two hundred steps.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

A series of terrifying bangs resounded through Jiuyuan City again.

This time, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army reloaded the crossbow arrows much faster than they usually did during training.

The terrifying howling sound instantly overwhelmed the roar of thousands of galloping horses' hooves.

Nearly ten thousand giant crossbow arrows shot out. The distance between 1000 and [-] steps is still spanned in an instant.

"what!"

Scores of screams wrapped in the mournful cry of war horses resounded through the earth again.

The large-scale repeating crossbow this time was different from the last time.

No longer a down shot, but a flat shot.

The large continuous shooting crossbow is the sharpest weapon in the long-range attack of the Qin Dynasty. The Daqin army has a complete and effective set of tactics on how to use the continuous shooting crossbow to attack the city, defend the city, and field battles, even against different arms. There are tactics to follow.

The siege is basically a long-distance upward shooting; the defending city, if the cavalry is attacking, they will shoot down from a distance of 1000 steps. The impact of the violent giant crossbow on the battlefield is not ordinary. Within [-] paces, flat fire is used, and within [-] paces, only downward fire can be used; for infantry sieges and field battles, most of them are flat fire.

The large-scale continuous-firing crossbow machine finally unleashed its terrifying lethality.

The moment the roar produced by the giant crossbow piercing through the air disappeared. The sound of "噗嗤噗嗤", as if the cloth strips were being torn, mixed with the miserable howls of Donghu people, sounded under the city wall.

Huge crossbow bolts came through the air like lightning, and easily penetrated the bodies of Donghu cavalrymen galloping one after another. Often when a crossbow bolt exhausted its strength and fell to the ground, it would either be on top of the crossbow bolt or More or less hung one or two Donghu cavalry bodies.Even some crossbow arrows did not cause any damage to the Donghu cavalry riding on them because they were fired too low. Instead, they shot through the horses under their crotches.

In this wave of crossbow arrows, the Donghu cavalry suffered at least 4000 casualties.

This is the damage caused by many clever Donghu cavalry who hid their bodies under the belly of their horses when they heard the sound of the city wall.

But what's more, the horses under the Donghu cavalry are still galloping, and the riders on the horses have already flown out with the crossbow arrows.Only a large number of empty horses were left running around in confusion after galloping for a while. These scurrying horses soon died in the hands of the Donghu people themselves.

Because if these unowned horses are not shot, the horses scurrying around will cause great confusion to the Donghu cavalry who are galloping.

In this way, by the time the Donghu cavalry approached within 2 steps of the city wall, there were less than [-] of the [-] Donghu cavalry left.This short [-] steps, in normal times, these Donghu cavalry would have crossed in dozens of breaths at most.

When there were still [-] steps away from the city wall, the Donghu cavalry who once again enjoyed the greeting of giant crossbow arrows, galloped until they were only [-] steps away from the city wall, and did not hear the terrifying bang at the top of the city again. All luck survived The Eastern Hu cavalry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyone who faces the huge crossbow arrow that seems to be able to penetrate the body and the horse at any time will feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts.

This has nothing to do with courage and fighting spirit. On the battlefield of blood and fire, more than just courage and fighting spirit are needed.

Fortunately, they have rushed over alive.It only takes a few breaths of effort, and those hateful Qin people on the city wall will enter the range of Donghu people's bows and arrows.The Donghu cavalry shouted and pressed their bodies tightly on the horse's back, holding a strong bow in their hands, and arrows on the strong bow.

You only need to survive the attacks of the Qin people's bows and arrows and crossbows, and then you can face the Qin people directly.

It's a pity that what they thought was too simple. If the Qin people in the city had only such a little ability, they would not be called the most powerful army in the world.

"dong dong dong"

The dull sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the top of Jicheng City.

Accompanied by the sound of war drums.

The resounding sounds on the city wall became one, and a large, dark and bright shield appeared on the city wall.Behind the large shield, countless crossbows have quietly opened their sharp fangs.

Waiting, the moment when the Eastern Hu soldiers entered the range.

In the camp of the Chinese army in Maodun, the Hun messengers who came and went kept on reporting the battle situation on the southeast, north and south sides to Maodun who rode his horse and stared at the tall city wall.

When he heard that the Eastern Hu cavalry had not been hit by the terrifying giant crossbow bolts after entering the city wall for [-] steps, Modu, who had been standing still and expressionless, had waves in his eyes.

Even if he was in the west of the city, he could clearly hear the earth-shattering bangs and the piercing screams of the Qin army's large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine on the top of the city.

It can overwhelm the hoofbeats of [-] Donghu cavalry galloping at the same time and the sound of nearly [-] Donghu cavalry shouting and killing. You don't need to try the power to know what it should be.

Mo Dun is not a reckless person, although this trip to the south seems to be hasty in the eyes of many Xiongnu nobles.

But Mouton didn't think so, because he had done a lot of homework before going south.

Relying on the advantage of spies, whether it is the strength or deployment of the Jiuyuan Army, although Maodun can't say that he knows everything, at least he knows a lot, not to mention the famous and powerful crossbow of the Qin Army.

"withdraw troops!"

Mao Dun, who had been standing still, retracted his gaze from Jicheng and suddenly spoke.

Although the Donghu cavalry casualties were not enough to hurt him, they told Mao Dun a very clear fact.That is, the Xiongnu's biggest reliance was that the strength of the Qin army was nearly three times that of the Qin army, and it was basically useless in front of this fortified city.

Unless, Mouton has the giant continuous shooting crossbow machine that can suppress the terrifying and powerful range on the top of the city, and the strong crossbow that can effectively defend against the Qin army's range far exceeds the strong bow in the hands of his own warriors.

Think of the small but surprisingly powerful small crossbow equipped by Qin Jun.

Mao Dun couldn't help shrinking his eyes. He seemed to see the Donghu cavalry approaching the city wall and within the range of the Jiuyuan Army's powerful crossbows, facing the Qin Army's dense crossbow arrow rain that seemed to cover the sky.

Jiuyuan City cannot be attacked by force.

This was the thought that came to Mao Dun's mind less than two quarters of an hour after the first attack started.Therefore, he simply issued an order to withdraw troops.

All the generals standing behind Mao Dun were stunned when they heard Mao Dun's words.

Why is it necessary to withdraw troops after the first siege has just been carried out?
Doesn't withdrawing troops at this time mean that all those who died before have died in vain?
Mao Dun seemed to see the doubts deep in their hearts, and without looking back, he just increased the volume and said bluntly.

"withdraw troops!"
