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

Chapter 472
Chapter 482
The Changsha prefect, who was still in shock, touched his face that had been scratched by the stone chips from Donfei, and poked his head out to look at the Qin army's crossbow phalanx thousands of steps away from the city wall, with horror in his eyes.

It's not that he hasn't seen the large-scale continuous shooting crossbows of the Qin army. Above the city of Changsha, there are more than ten large continuous firing crossbows used by the Qin army that came to aid from the South Vietnam.

These more than ten crossbows were brought from Shouchun City by him when he took office.Today, there are more than [-] large-scale continuous shooting crossbows made by the Qin army on the top of the city of Shouchun.There are also more than [-] large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machines arranged in Xiang Liang's army.

As for Xiang Yu's 20 troops going north, they were only equipped with [-] small hand crossbows, but there were no extra large continuous shooting crossbows for him to use.

But those large continuous shooting crossbows that are also the standard weapons of the Qin army, in the eyes of the Chu army, are very different from the large continuous shooting crossbows used by the demonic Qin army in front of them.

According to visual inspection, the distance from the Qin army firing large-scale crossbows outside the city was a full [-] steps from the city wall.

Two thousand and five hundred steps away, the fired crossbow arrows could still sink into the solid city wall, and they were still fired upwards from the ground.That shows that the effective killing range of the large continuous firing crossbow used by the Qin army outside the city should be at least [-] steps away when firing flat.

The Chu army had personally tried its power before, with a range of 1000 to [-] steps and an effective kill of [-] to [-] steps.

Then there are only two possibilities, either they got crossbows that were cut corners, or the Qin army improved the ordnance again.

If it's the first reason, it's fine.

But if it is the second reason, then obviously in the confrontation, no matter when and where Chu State will be powerless against the Qin Army's large continuous shooting crossbow.

Can only be beaten passively!
At this moment, the [-] Basalt Army infantry attacking the city were less than [-] steps away from the city wall of Anfeng City!

"Quickly, shoot me with the crossbow!"

Standing up and looking at the frightened soldiers of the Chu army who were cowering under the city wall and not daring to show their heads, the Changsha Prefect suddenly shouted.

A group of soldiers of the Chu army who had just woken up from a dream stumbled to operate the large continuous shooting crossbow machine placed on the top of the city.There are more than ten large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machines. Xiang Bo placed three of them in each direction on the four walls just to be on the safe side!

The three large-scale continuous shooting crossbows are already the only force that the Chu army can hit the Qin army's siege soldiers.

Amidst the creaking sound, the Chu army's large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine on the city wall was finally adjusted to an angle by the flustered Chu army soldiers, and it shot out without even aiming.

The large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine used by the Chu army is still an old-fashioned crossbow machine, and only three crossbow arrows can be loaded in one crossbow machine.Three crossbow machines and nine crossbow arrows shot out from the city wall alone like this, towards the phalanx of Qin army's infantry that was crushed up by overwhelming force.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The nine crossbow arrows were either fired thousands of miles away and shot behind the Qin army, or they were inserted on the ground dozens of steps away from the Xuanwu army's siege infantry. Didn't come across one.

Even in Guchu, which was not destroyed by Daqin, the large continuous shooting crossbows were only a small amount of equipment, or even no equipment at all.And today's Chu army has no experience in using large-scale continuous shooting crossbows at all.

The Chu army currently in Changsha City was originally either ordinary people or old and weak. They had never even had formal military training, so how could they possibly have experience in operating large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machines.

Zhang Han held a monocular telescope in his hand and could clearly see the movements of the Chu army on the top of Changsha City.

Soon, more than [-] crossbow bolts shot out from the Qin army's large formation, but this time at least dozens of large-scale continuous crossbow arrows were aimed at the only one on the top of the city that could attack the siege Qin army. A large repeating ballista that poses a threat.

Hearing the sound of bangs under the city wall, the soldiers of the Chu army who had already tasted the powerful crossbow machine of the Qin army once huddled under the city wall as fast as they could, hugging their heads tightly and curling up into a ball!
It is not absolutely safe to hide. The Chu army who was injured by the stones of Wufei just now is a clear example.

Amidst a series of loud crackling noises, each of the three large continuous shooting crossbow machines on the west city wall was hit by at least five or six crossbow arrows, and those hit were turned into a pile of tattered sawdust on the spot and became waste products.

The three large continuous shooting crossbow machines that had only fired one round of empty arrows were completely reduced to a pile of broken wood within a moment of their exposure, leaving the Chu army with no weapons that could threaten the siege Qin army's infantry.

Until the Qin army's siege pawns holding giant shields advanced to less than [-] steps from the top of Changsha City, there was no longer any large continuous shooting crossbow machine on the top of Changsha City.

The flag of Zhang Hanling was waved, and the five thousand soldiers of the Qin army who had been following the left and right wings of the large continuous shooting crossbow machine with strong crossbows began to move forward slowly.

At the same time, the two cavalry that had been cruising around the periphery of the left and right wings of the entire army began to spread out to the sides purposefully,

The large-scale continuous-firing crossbows carried by the Qin army were all modified by Shangfang and used a gear mechanism to load the giant crossbows, so the firing speed was at least several times faster than the continuous-firing crossbows equipped by the Qin army before, and it also saved a lot of time. half of the staff.

When the attacking Qin army's infantry were less than a hundred steps away from the Changsha city wall, more than three hundred large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machines far behind were already at least facing the section of the Qin army's main attack direction that was no more than a hundred feet away. Nearly ten thousand giant crossbow bolts were fired from the city wall.

The Chu army defending the city crouched under the walls of the city wall. Except for some direct results from the first wave of nearly ten thousand giant crossbow arrows, the rest basically failed.

The Chu army on the city wall can hide, but the people inside the city have no place to hide.Continuously, giant crossbows crossed the city wall and shot into Changsha City with a sharp roar, causing screams and screams. In less than a moment, basically no one dared to stand within two hundred steps behind the west city wall.

In the end, for the sake of his own life, no Chu army dared to show his face on the entire west wall of Changsha City.All the Chu troops defending the city could only curl up as much as possible and hide under the walls.

The Qin army's large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine stopped firing when the siege pawns entered within a hundred steps of the city wall.However, the soldiers of the Chu army crouching under the city wall still dare not move.

No matter how the leading lieutenant yelled, none of the Chu soldiers dared to stand up.

In this way, the [-] infantry of the Qin army who attacked the city reached the bottom of the city wall of Changsha without encountering any strong resistance.

Seeing this, Zhang Han immediately let go of his worries.

I thought that Changsha would be a difficult battle, but now it seems that I really have a high opinion of Chu.
