Infinite Blood God

Chapter 87: The Mongolian Horse with Soft Bow and Quick Sword

.

The last siege device of spn is something like a giant shield. It is made of double-layered arms thick logs, which is as tall as a person and a half, and a small "pergola" extends backward from the top. ".

This thing is so simple and rough that it doesn't even have moving wheels.Relying on the shoulders and hands of a few big men, the entire giant shield was transported to the vicinity of the city wall, which provided the soldiers with a place where they could easily avoid arrows.

However, ordinary soldiers are not allowed to hide behind.Only those archers could hide behind and shoot arrows or redraw the crossbow.

Thus began the battle, with huge wooden siege engines being thrown against the high walls by men who might have been ordinary peasants only a few days earlier.

The "rebel bandits" with white cloth strips tied around their waists and who may only be holding a farm tool in their hands flocked to Tai'an County under the urging and kicking of the "senior brothers". [

Before someone gave the order to fire, some panicked soldiers had already started shooting.

The sound of 'bang, bang' was heard in both camps, and the crooked lead hit the unlucky ghosts in the crowd and the green bricks on the top of the city.

Firearms - the originator of modern firearms.Basically, the power of gunpowder combustion and explosion is used to form a strong pressure in the barrel to shoot out the lead.

After the barrel is stabilized and increased, it finally forms a huge speed and accompanying lethality within a certain distance.

The hot lead roared into the human body, and then quickly began to roll and twist under the action of resistance... The soft lead condensed and shattered in the blood of the human body, causing huge lacerations on the human body in an instant.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the vitals of the human body can easily understand how much such a penetrating wound that tore the inside can cause great harm to the human body.

That's enough to kill someone easily.

Several members of the White Lotus Sect's attacking army indeed proved this point.Almost without exception, a small hole was opened on the body, and it seemed impossible to survive.

The muskets at the top of the city continued to ring out one after another, although the accuracy of the muskets was appallingly low in this era.But in such a situation where there are enemies all over the city, [-]% of them will hit people even if they fight randomly, so as the Ming army on the city wall continued to shoot, some of the attacking soldiers of the White Lotus Sect fell down.

The painful screams of many believers who were seriously injured and survived made many believers feel timid and hesitant.

However, the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect, who have experienced several wars, already have countermeasures.Seeing that the morale of one's own side was hit, some core officers—in fact, those old believers who taught Nakamoto Xiang.Those core members called "Senior Brother" and "Senior Sister".They immediately urged their subordinates to drive away those slow-moving believers with long spears and sticks in their hands, and beat down the heads and faces with the waist knives with scabbards...

The speed of the entire advance was suddenly vibrated.

Some believers who are good at instigating also began to lure: "Master Hu Xiang said! The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with silver and white taels! You have been promoted to Senior Brother Tsing Yi!".

"The first [-] people will be full of beef, mutton, and pork within three days of entering the city! The first [-] people will be free to eat pork within a day of entering the city!" Some people desperately encouraged the emotions of these farmers who had just put down their hoes.

Qianhu at the head of the city sneered and waved his hand: "Fire!".

As the order was issued, most of the soldiers of the Ming army who were only loading medicine quickly poked their guns out of the city and pulled the trigger.

The clip holding the matchlock fell suddenly, igniting the gunpowder in the medicine room, a large puff of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the hot lead roared down a large group of White Lotus believers.

But the Ming army also suffered casualties.

These casualties were not caused by the sparse counterattacks of the White Lotus Sect, but were caused by several sporadic bombing accidents in the Ming army's salvo. [

Several gunpowders with quality problems exploded directly with a little more gunpowder.The flying debris and hot air blasted the faces of Ming soldiers who used these firearms to blood, and even two people were directly shot into the brain by the flying debris, and died immediately.

"Where's the cannon!? Fire it! Fire it!" The faces of the two thousand households who also saw the firecracker accident were uncertain, and finally suppressed their anger at the officials above who sent out these inferior firecrackers, roaring frantically, trying to Let that emotion out.

Boom boom boom...!

A series of explosions roared from the top of the city, and more than a dozen fist-sized cannons, much larger than lead, flew out roaring.A bloody flower was stirred up under the city.

Some White Lotus believers were even beaten to pieces, with their brains and internal organs flying around...

The scene was magnificent.

However, after this volley, the Ming army seemed to have no other means.

For this army that has been largely weaponized, apart from artillery and firecrackers, they are equipped with very few bows and crossbows.There are even fewer people who can skillfully operate bows and crossbows.

Thus, after two rounds of shooting, the entire Ming army line calmed down.

If you use the words of later generations during World War II, you are fucking dumb!

Those who know something about warfare can easily understand that once the long-range firepower of the entire front is muted, the end will be passive and miserable!

Although the members of the White Lotus Sect had just started an uprising, their combat effectiveness was not strong.

But the White Lotus Sect, which has been hiding in the dark places of the people all the year round, has been plotting for a long time!

Take Hu Datong's White Lotus Sect, which mainly preaches in Hebei and Shandong, and several generations of altar masters have attached great importance to the role of bows and crossbows.

When preaching on weekdays, I pay attention to training the core members to use bows and crossbows, and crossbows are the main development.After several generations of secret operation, not only a large number of crossbow machines have been preserved, but also a large number of craftsmen who are good at making crossbows and believers who are good at using crossbows.

At this time, these believers, who can be called the main force of the White Lotus Sect in Hebei and Shandong, quickly shuttled through the crowd to the front of the formation with crossbows in their hands, and quickly pulled away behind a log shield wall. The bow and crossbow he carried shot towards the head of the city.

These people are almost all followers of Hu Datong's incense that has been developed all the year round, and some of them are even old believers that have been passed down in their families for several generations.Playing with bows and crossbows since childhood, they often shoot rabbits and pheasants with bows and crossbows. Their arrow skills are quite good.

In this round of unexpected shooting, a large number of Ming troops were hit by arrows.Although shooting from the bottom up consumes a certain amount of power, the sharp crossbow arrows will still cause huge damage to people.

The worst people were even directly shot into their brains by arrows.One person was not dead on the spot, and the screams of pain when he fell to the ground were horrifying.

The next battle will be where bows and crossbows play the leading roles.

Many people feel that it is very laborious to open a bow, and the average person will lose the ability to continue shooting after about 12 shots.

But please...if that's the case. [

In ancient wars, why did civilizations using bows and arrows sweep the world one after another? !

Anyone with sports experience knows that if you do the most physical exercise, you will naturally lose your strength soon.

You only have 100 jins of strength, so if you lift a 100 jins barbell, you will naturally get tired after only a few lifts.

But if it is 30 catties, you can lift a lot more.

The same is true for bowing and archery. After long-term training and adaptation, the endurance of ancient people is even better than that of most pampered modern people.

Obviously able to draw an 80-pound bow, but now he only draws a thirty-forty-pound bow, so he can naturally shoot more times.

In addition, considering the archer's own rest and adjustment, in one day, an archer can at least shoot hundreds of times without affecting the next day's battle.

As the saying goes, "a soft bow and a sharp sword will not be exchanged for a Mongolian horse!" This is the truth.
