=========================

At Choushi, the sound of dense horseshoes sounded on the official road, and a whole group of light cavalry galloped in the direction of Yangcheng under the cover of night.

Whizzing--

A sound of piercing the air pierced through the darkness, pointing directly at the leader at the front.

Lu Feiming held the reins with one hand, and drew out his sword with the other. With just the sound, he aimed and shot down the arrows aimed at him. The other soldiers beside him also pulled out their swords and shot down the arrows in the air.

"Hand crossbow ready!"

"shoot!"

After two beautiful and unified clicks, hundreds of arrows shot towards the dense forest.The densely packed arrows quickly enveloped the dense forest like a mist. After a few screams, there was no second hidden arrow shot out from the dense forest.

This can't even be called a battle, it's just a small test of the two teams, but it is this small test that reflects the terrible difference in the weapons of the two armies.

The Mongolian Dynasty still used the outdated Zhang Gong, while the Black Armored Army of the Yu Dynasty, especially the Chinese army led by Lu Feiming, each soldier had mastered the use of hand crossbows proficiently. The accuracy is not high enough, but its high rate of fire and the advantages of one-handed use still capture the hearts of every cavalry.

Lu Feiming used his actions to teach those Mongolian soldiers how to use long-range weapons when they couldn't aim at night.

The answer is that there is no need to aim - as long as you shoot enough arrows, there will always be a few of them that will hit the target!

"Report, there are refusal horses ahead, barbed wire!"

The scouts who explored the road came towards the Chinese army on horseback, reporting the news ahead.

Lu Feiming lightly tugged on the reins, and at the same time clenched his right hand and raised his fist, and the cavalry behind him also made the same movement, followed by those behind him...

The instructions were conveyed step by step, and the entire galloping light cavalry stopped suddenly in a shocking silence.

"Order people to move the horses away, and the crossbowmen and sword shieldmen guard the sides to prevent anyone from attacking."

"Yes!"

Dozens of soldiers jumped off their horses, and under the protection of crossbowmen and sword-shieldmen, they went to move the horses away.

Lu Feiming sat on the horse with his back straight, and the war horse under him seemed to be aware of the tense atmosphere at this moment, and was twitching lightly.Lu Feiming stretched out a hand to comfort the war horse, while listening vigilantly to the movement around him.

The cooing of night owls, the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, and...

Lu Feiming opened his eyes suddenly, pointing the blade to the side: "Southeast direction, the crossbowman shoots!"

Whizzing--

The same scene was repeated. The light cavalry in the Chinese army each had two replacement hand crossbows and hundreds of arrows, which could fully support them to complete nearly a hundred rounds of shooting.

There were a few more screams, mixed with the faint cry of the disturbed night owl, which was particularly cold and permeating at night.

"General, it seems that someone has escaped."

"Don't worry about him, let him report a letter to the prefect of Yangcheng."

Lu Feiming said indifferently.Using [-] light cavalry to take the city, not to mention him, even the God of War would not be able to complete it, so this attack is nothing more than to find out the reality of the Yangcheng guards and greet them by the way.

In just two handovers, Lu Feiming had already sketched a portrait of the defenders in his mind.

A cowardly man.

Knowing that he was leading the Qing cavalry army, he didn't try to set up an ambush on the official road, but just harassed by a few innocuous shooters and refusal horses.

However, this is not incomprehensible. Yangcheng was handed over from the Yu Dynasty, and it is also a famous city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is better for the defenders to be conservative than impulsive.But if he leads the army, no matter what, he must send a team to try to sneak attack the enemy's barracks to find out the truth.

Of course, if the defenders of Yangcheng really did that, there would have been other countermeasures waiting for him.

But it's a pity that Lu Feiming doesn't know whether there has been any decent attack so far, whether the enemy army looks down on him too much, thinks that the people he brought are not a threat at all, or thinks highly of him too much, afraid of being ambushed by him up.

"General, everything has been cleaned up."

"Okay." Lu Feiming sketched the topographic map of Yangcheng in his mind, "Go forward for another quarter of an hour!"

The few people who came back quickly got on their horses and set off again following Lu Feiming.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Feiming led the army to stop again: "Pull the things over."

As soon as he gave an order, he saw five vehicles covered with sackcloth, and things the size of carriages were pulled up.

Several battalion commanders around Lu Feiming looked at it curiously. The existence of the cart crossbow and the bed crossbow was considered a secret even in the entire Black Armor Army. After breaking through the palm-thick sand and gravel wall with one blow, Lu Feiming ordered all personnel to strictly prohibit any information about these two weapons from being released, but secretly selected a group of trusted soldiers for training.

Now, it's time for them to see the sun again and show their power.

I saw those soldiers turning the winch, stretching the bowstring and placing the huge arrow. The arrow body was as thick as a small tree, the tail feathers were made of pure iron, and the arrow showed the shape of a three-edged blade.After giving an order, one of the soldiers slammed the trigger with a hammer, and five huge crossbow bolts roared and rushed towards the city wall in the darkness.

Bang, bang... five consecutive bangs, the huge crossbow directly pierced the city wall, leaving only the thick arrow body and tail feathers outside the wall for the besiegers to climb to the top of the wall.

Several battalion commanders stared straight at it. It's not like they haven't fought a siege battle before. How difficult is it to conquer a big city like Yangcheng with a complete garrison and double walls and moats? They did enough before they set off. prepare.

There are about [-] standing guards in Yangcheng, and in their minds, facing such a city, it is impossible to win without five times or even ten times more troops, even if there are several times more troops than the enemy , It will take ten days, or even a month, a lot of lives to fill the moat, build ladders, and exchange weapons on the city wall several times before it can be broken.This is probably why the Yangcheng guards neither attacked their barracks nor set up an ambush on the road.It's no wonder they underestimated the enemy, after all, in today's era, capturing Yangcheng with hundreds of people is simply a fantasy!

There was an illuminated bonfire on the city wall of Yangcheng. With this faint light, several people could see how the thick arrow sank steadily into the enemy's city wall.The defenders of Yangcheng were obviously taken aback by this terrifying weapon. The flames on the city wall became brighter, and a large number of human heads could be seen running fast on it.

The guards of Yangcheng tried to shoot three or four rounds of arrows, but the attack range of the bed crossbow was 150 steps, while the effective range of the bow was less than [-] steps. Lu Feiming didn't even bother to order the sword and shield hand to defend, just watched helplessly. Those arrows fell like raindrops several hundred meters away.

"..."

This scene was so embarrassing that no matter what, both the city defenders and the black armored soldiers fell into a strange silence.
