Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 837

Three thousand crossbowmen were in front, and three thousand halberd soldiers were behind. They were not walking fast, but they were very steady.

This is the characteristic of the Great Qin Phalanx, and it is the foundation of the Great Qin Phalanx.

It's not that the Great Qin Phalanx can only be based on slowness, without any haste. It's just that the most basic thing about the Great Qin Phalanx is stability. This is the most basic operation to control this large formation. If you can't even achieve stability, What's the use of being quick?

The Daqin phalanx must be firmly grasped before it can be foolproof, and then how many pieces it can have depends on how strong the generals' ability to mobilize troops and how powerful their commanding ability is.

For example, Zeng Wei Liaozi also fought against 70 million rebels with an army of [-]. He completely operated the entire army formation and almost flew up.

But it is also very stable, no one can find the slightest flaw, this is Wei Liaozi's ability to control.

But at this moment, the formation is just set up, the battle has not yet fully started, and the formation has not been fully activated, so this first step will be very slow, giving people the illusion that the formation is running very slowly.

In fact, the more this is the case, the more careful it is.

Because the faster the speed, the easier it is for the coach to make mistakes, and once he makes a mistake, his flaws will be exposed.

And once the coach slows down, it is tantamount to being conservative. Under conservativeness, this army has no flaws at all.

Unless you try your best to break the law, otherwise, it is a joke to want to be opportunistic.

"kill……"

Three thousand crossbowmen marched a hundred steps forward, and at this moment they were less than two hundred steps away from the enemy.

However, the enemy army was still besieging Lieyang, and they didn't care about Daqin's sharp soldiers before they got the general order.

Even at this moment, the entire Donghu 20 army, except for the commander-in-chief Nehman and a few people, almost everyone's attention is on Lie Yang.

It's like wolves revenge, they only stare at their target, everything else is unimportant.

At this time, they were looking for Lie Yang to take revenge, and Lie Yang was their only goal.

However, it doesn't matter if they ignore Qin Jun. The important thing is that for Qin Ruishi, at this moment, he can finally make a move.

With the word "kill" shouted from the mouth of the leading general Dong Kui, the three thousand crossbowmen who were advancing stopped immediately, and each of them took out a huge quiver from behind.

There are hundreds of crossbow bolts in each quiver.

Although in the state of Qin, the Mohists had already produced the kind of hand-held pocket crossbows, like pistols, which can be fired continuously by placing enough palm-length arrows in the crossbow box, but such a craft, even in the Mohism, All of them can be regarded as relatively difficult, and it can be said that it is very difficult to produce, let alone mass production.

In the royal inventory, it took decades to save tens of thousands of items.

These bows and crossbows were distributed by Yingshou to the [-] imperial troops, one for each person, and for others, the emperor could send them out when needed, and when they were used up, they had to be taken back, no matter whether it was good or bad.

In addition to this kind of crossbow, there are two kinds of crossbows. One of these two kinds of crossbows needs to pull the bowstring by hand, fix the bowstring to a position, then put the feather arrow, pull the trigger, and push the bowstring to pop out. Instantly shoot the arrow out.

The power of this kind of crossbow is greater than that of the pocket crossbow. After all, the power of the pocket crossbow is not that great.The real effective range is only more than 200 steps, and if it exceeds [-] steps, the power will be greatly reduced immediately, and there is not much lethality.

And this hand-drawn bowstring and fixed-position bow and crossbow have a real range of more than three hundred steps. Therefore, most of the Great Qin warriors are equipped with this kind of bow and crossbow.

Although it is not enough to reach one person, almost one-third of each army will hold this kind of crossbow.

In addition to this kind of crossbow, there is also a crossbow with a longer range and greater power, which can shoot more than ten arrows in one shot.

The power of this kind of crossbow is even more powerful, but the strength required to pull the bow will also be greater.

Those who hold this kind of bow and arrow, such as the 5000 army in front of them, only about [-] people have this strength. Therefore, in the [-] army, there are only more than [-] or almost [-] such crossbows.

For the three thousand crossbowmen who are advancing at this moment, they are holding this kind of crossbow.

This may make people wonder, since there are tens of thousands of people with such power, why are they not equipped with tens of thousands of such bows and crossbows.Such a powerful crossbow with a range of nearly [-] steps, and one shot is ten arrows, the more such crossbows the better.

But in fact, how can such a bow and crossbow be fully operated by one person?
Therefore, every two people with this level of strength will be equipped with one such crossbow.

After all, one person draws the bow, and one person has to place arrows on it to shoot the fastest.

The biggest flaw of this kind of crossbow is not only because it requires too much force, but also because it is too troublesome to operate.

It is impossible to put ten arrows up at the beginning, all of them must be fully drawn before they can be put up, and a volley is fired.

And if it is only operated by one person, after pulling the bowstring with all your strength, slowly put the arrows up one by one, and then lift it up.The enemies within the original range have already killed you in front of you, and you have been killed with a single knife, so what's the point?
So this requires two people to match, one draws the bow, the other prepares the arrow, draws the bowstring fully, and spreads the feather arrows directly on it.Although this speed is still very slow, it is still more than half faster in order to barely exert the power of this bow and crossbow.

For example, at this moment, following Dong Kui's order, the three thousand crossbowmen and their assistants each took out the hundred feathered arrows they carried on their backs.After taking out the feathers and arrows one after another, the soldiers who were in charge of pulling the bow immediately stepped on the bow wood with their feet, and fell down on their backs. They clasped the bowstring with both hands, and finally pulled the bowstring to its full capacity.

The moment the bowstring was fully drawn, the deputy immediately filled the arrow slots on the crossbow with feather arrows.

This series of movements is done in one go, and it is obvious that it has been practiced countless times, and the overall movement takes about 20 seconds.

After being covered with feathered arrows, those archers holding crossbows were still lying on the ground, with their feet propped up on the bowwood, and their hands holding the stabilizing bowwood and the trigger under the arrow slot. They only waited for an order and immediately pulled the trigger. ten arrows.

On the other side, seeing this, Dong Kui didn't hesitate, and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Crash..."

The next moment, there was only the sound of bowstrings snapping, and three thousand crossbowmen pulled the triggers at the same time. Immediately, bursts of piercing sounds resounded through the void like flowing water.

The arrows shot by 3000 people turned out to be black and dense, there were more than 3 arrows, covering the sky and covering the earth, and they shot towards the densely packed army more than 200 steps away.

This series of operations is a long story, but in fact it took less than half a minute in total.

Following the shooting of the arrow, in an instant, it seemed that the world was still, and there seemed to be no sound in the whole world.
