Chapter 99 Victory in the first battle!

Countless arrows were shot from both sides of the city wall towards Yuan Jun's camp in the center of Jinshan Pass, forming two lines of cross fire that fell neatly into Yuan Jun's camp.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Under the city wall, it turned into a hell on earth in an instant!

The sound of sharp three-edged arrows drilling into muscles, the screams of people dying, and the sounds of arrow clusters passing through shields and armors suddenly came and went from the dense lineup of Yuan Jun!
In just an instant, nearly one-fifth of Yuan Jun's troops were pinned to the ground by arrows!

Nearly a thousand soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The entire crowded siege formation of Yan Liang's army was suddenly cleared of a large area!

There was no way, Yan Liang also wanted to attack the city wall separately, but the open space in front of Jinshan Pass was too small!
The huge casualties immediately caused the entire formation to be thrown into chaos. Several generals in Yuan's army shouted angrily, barely allowing the army to collapse.

Yan Liang in the back was wide-eyed, and Ju Shuo next to him was also surprised!What's going on? We haven't reached the range yet. Why did a large area fall down?
Just now, Yan Liang and others were still laughing at the garrison's lack of courage. The siege army was anxious to release arrows as soon as they reached the range of the arrows, but they didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly!

Ju Shou immediately advised: "General, the enemy's crossbows are powerful, but our bows and arrows cannot hit them. Now if the army attacks again, there will be heavy casualties. Let's ring the gold first!"

Jushu instinctively realized that he was at a huge disadvantage.Yan Liang was also shocked by the range of Liaodong's crossbows, but he was relatively calm and said immediately: "The main force of our army is still there, and there is still time to fight in this battle. Please be patient and calm, military advisor!"

After Yan Liang finished speaking, he quickly sent 3000 more men to suppress the attack, and ordered his general Zhou Ang to lead the soldiers who climbed up to the death to assist in the battle. At the same time, he ordered the rear army to push the catapults and well rails forward. After Ju Yi's death, those who first entered the camp were those who were good at close combat, and Yuan Shao then selected brave men from the whole army. All of them were excellent in martial arts and fought bravely. In the face of the Black Mountain Army, Xianbei and the Xiongnu, The whole army is famous for being brave and fearless in battle. In this Northern Expedition, he also sent 5000 men to Yan Liang.Yan Liang didn't expect to use it so soon, but good steel should be used on the blade.

Yan Liang decided to allocate two thousand troops in this battle, and together with his fierce general Zhou Ang, he must take down the city wall.

The troops and generals were mobilized here, and they were not idle here either. After the three thousand crossbows on the city wall finished firing one round, they retreated and pulled the string again. At the same time, three thousand crossbowmen stepped forward, took aim, and adjusted the position of the crossbows. Position, fired the arrow, and at the same time cleared a piece of Yuan Jun's formation. Shan Jing looked at the crossbow with satisfaction, it was really a weapon for defending the city!
You must know that this strong crossbow is not ordinary. It is based on the divine arm crossbow brought back by Gongsun Lu from the Southern Song Dynasty. Generally, the best-quality large yellow crossbow in the Han Dynasty has a range of about 160 meters, and in the military Popular ordinary crossbows can shoot more than [-] meters.

It sounds far away, but it is nothing compared to the Divine Arm Crossbow. However, you must know that as the main weapon of the Song Dynasty to resist the northern nomads, the structure of the Divine Arm Crossbow is already very perfect. Its maximum range can reach At about 370 meters, the crossbow supported by composite materials can retain a lot of potential energy. Coupled with the advanced design structure, the accuracy of the crossbow is also enhanced.

Unfortunately, Liaodong did not have the financial resources like the Southern Song Dynasty, so the design of the divine arm crossbow incorporated some pre-Qin skills.

When Gongsun Han landed on the Japanese island, he once found the remains of Xu Fu. After spending a certain amount of manpower and material resources, Liaodong obtained some of the various classics left by Xu Fu when he crossed east. You must know that since the First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucians and Confucians, After Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, a large number of pre-Qin technologies were basically lost. Among them, Gongsun Lu and others discovered the crossbow technology of the Qin Dynasty. You must know that the Qin army was the most fierce force of that era. The power of the crossbow and the advanced bronze manufacturing industry were their important weapons to defeat the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.Otherwise, I really think that with just one sentence of "Jiujiao Lao Qin!" hundreds of thousands of Qin eldest men, Lao Hei, can overthrow the entire flower-growing family with their flesh and blood.

The Qin Crossbow is different from the complex Divine Arm Crossbow. It retains the Qin people's pragmatic style and emphasis on practical performance. Not only is it very simple in structure, but the materials used are not complicated either.

It’s just not as high as the God Arm Crossbow in terms of range and accuracy!
Inspired by Gongsun Lu, the Academy of Science and Technology in Liaodong absorbed the advantages of the two types of crossbows. The crossbow that provided the potential energy of the crossbow retained the original complex design process of the God Arm Crossbow, and the crossbow retained the simple body and trigger of the Qin Crossbow. device, and in addition, the step ring of the divine arm crossbow is retained at the front end of the crossbow to ensure the convenience of soldiers pulling on the bow string and loading arrows.

Under the continuous firing of two groups of crossbowmen, nearly half of the tens of thousands of Yuan's soldiers who had attacked were lost at a speed that exceeded Ju Shou and Yan Liang's imagination. They knew that Yan Liang had ordered the catapults to start throwing catapults at Jinshan Pass. The boulder is a little better. The single warning immediately makes people pay attention to avoid it, and the sound of the crossbow in the level gradually becomes thinner!

After Yan Liang saw that there were fewer arrow nets on the city wall, he quickly beat the drums to urge the front army to attack the city. Yuan Jun's strong men pushed the well rails forward slowly and moved forward slowly. Shan Jing quickly placed several arrow nets on the city wall in advance. The big killers were let out, and small catapults were pushed onto the city wall. The prepared grease jars were placed in the baskets, and they shouted "Let go!"

Jars of grease were thrown onto the well railing one by one, and the rockets were released. Suddenly, a raging fire broke out on the well railing. The soldiers who had been hiding inside the well railing burst out with violent screams, and dozens of living people His body was on fire and he jumped out of the well. He fell to the ground and stopped struggling!

Faced with the burning flames, the wells began to collapse one by one.

Zhou Ang was furious when he saw this. He personally led a group of advance climbers to set up a long ladder and rushed towards the city wall. With his bravery, he actually split several hidden arrows and was the first to lower the ladder. On the city wall, the hooks on the ladder were nailed to the stone wall. Before he could climb up the ladder, he saw a sharp-eyed man holding a bow and arrow and aiming at him. Zhou Ang was stunned and saw the top The archer shot three arrows at him in succession. Zhou Ang was shocked. He quickly dodged back and dodged the first arrow, but did not dodge the other two. However, he still dodged the vital part. One arrow It hit the thigh, and one arrow hit the left shoulder!

The general was injured, and the other soldiers who climbed up first were not much better. Nearly half of them were damaged by the bows of the archers. However, due to their reputation, those who climbed up first were indeed brave and not afraid of death. The only one in the team The first climber to die successfully passed the ladder with a few crossbow arrows stuck in his body, but he encountered Zhou Tai and more than a dozen mountain-carrying troops!
These soldiers who were trained using the martial arts world's military training methods raised their spears and stabbed all the dozens of dead soldiers to death in a few strokes.

Zhou Tai even used his own strange strength to directly push the ladder down, and all the more than a dozen dead soldiers who were still on the ladder were wiped out.

Soon Yuan Shaojun, who suffered heavy casualties, began to retreat at the request of gold.After all, the casualties were too heavy. There were almost 2 troops, but even the city wall could only touch a little bit.

Yan Liang didn't dare to continue no matter how bad he was.

Looking at the enemy troops slowly retreating under the city wall, Shan Jing wiped the blood on his face. Just now he went into battle and killed two soldiers of Yuan who almost climbed onto the city wall.

Shan Jing calmly shouted to his generals, treating the wounded, repairing the city walls, and counting casualties and gains.

Soon under Lu Su's control, the casualty data of the two armies came into Shan Jing's hands. Nearly 6000 enemies were killed in this battle, and more than 4000 people died in the initial crossbow shooting.As for the Liaodong Army, 330 people were killed and 540 were injured. Among them, those killed in the battle were a few pairs of men and horses hit by Yuan Jun's catapults. The other injured were basically injured by the first to die. .Shan Jing frowned slightly before loosening his eyebrows slightly, and defended the city. It was not easy for this new recruit to achieve such results!
