The last three kingdoms

Chapter 143 The Power of the Yuanrong Crossbow
The Wei army was responsible for the first wave of offensive missions, with a total of 500 people. Although the mountain road was rugged, these warriors who boarded the camp first seemed to have no fear at all. With shields on their backs and knives and guns, they rushed towards the top of the mountain at a trot. Come.

Junhou Wangkui is the commander of this song, and the only one among the 500 people who wears armor. He is burly, with fine eyes and beard, and is very sturdy. Deng Zhong chose him to lead the battle because he liked his bravery.Wang Kui took the lead, holding a machete in his hand, and walked proudly at the forefront of the team. After climbing a steep slope of nearly [-] degrees, the road ahead became a little gentler. High stone walls.

"Boys, kill me! The first one to reach the top of the mountain will be rewarded heavily by General Deng!" Wang Kui yelled loudly while holding his sword high, the flesh on his face trembling.

Those Wei soldiers screamed, and under the encouragement of the reward, they began to sprint to the top of the mountain.

"Let the arrow!" Liu Yin gave the order coldly.

Those soldiers had been picking up their bows and arrows for some time, and their wrists were a little numb. Now that Liu Yin gave an order, they naturally shot at the target they had aimed for a long time without hesitation.

"Swish, swish..." From behind the stone wall, rows of arrows were shot like migratory locusts, and Wei Bing, who rushed to the front and was determined to fight for merit, fell down in an instant.

Wei Bing, who was originally very imposing, was suddenly attacked, and the team seemed to be in a panic. Many soldiers covered their front with shields. Because the shields cover limited parts, in order to protect the vital parts under the shields as much as possible, many Wei Bing's bodies Bent up.In this way, the rapid momentum of the attack came to an abrupt end, appearing timid.

Wang Kui was furious, and a few feathered arrows from the opponent blocked his attack momentum, which made Wang Kui, who had vowed to take down the mountain in front of Deng Zhong, feel ashamed, and he shouted: "Don't stop! Attack quickly! Take down the mountain in one go!"

With Wang Kui's supervision, those Wei soldiers began to move slowly towards the top of the mountain again.Although it was protected by shields, the arrows shot from behind the stone wall were like a shower, and they could always find the gap between the shields, and then deal a fatal blow to the Wei soldiers hiding behind the shields.The lack of armor protection made the lives of these soldiers who boarded the camp vulnerable. The distance from the half slope to the top of the mountain was not long, that is, it was only a stone's throw away, but this road has now become a road of death. Wei Bing died on this road.

Wang Kui was very angry with his subordinates who were moving forward at a fast pace. The more difficult the situation, the more he needed the fighting spirit to sacrifice his life. If he wanted to conquer the top of the mountain, how could he do it without fighting?He beheaded a cowering elder with his own hands, and rushed to the front with a shield in his hand.

Liu Yin had already seen Wang Kui on the top of the mountain, and his arrows had already locked on Wang Kui, but Wang Kui used a shield to protect the front door and he was wearing heavy armor. Liu Yin has been waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Finally, the moment Wang Kui turned around, Liu Yin saw a small gap, he let go of his right hand without hesitation, and the arrow only drew a slightly curved arc in the air. It penetrated Wang Kui's throat.Wang Kui couldn't even utter a scream, the sharp arrow pierced his throat, and he fell to the ground only a hundred steps away from the stone wall.

Wang Kui's death made Wei Bing lose his fighting spirit in an instant. After throwing down hundreds of corpses, he fled to the foot of the mountain in embarrassment.

Deng Zhong's face was ashen. He didn't expect the first wave of attack to be repelled so quickly, but Deng Zhong is by no means a person who gives up easily. 500 people are not enough. This time, he directly mobilized 1000 people to launch the attack. Yes, all 2000 people pressed up, Deng Zhong didn't believe in this evil, and tried his best, but he still couldn't take down a small mountain.

Shi Zuan said from the side: "Young general, don't act impulsively. The Shu army is condescending and occupies a favorable position. If you attack by force, you will only increase casualties. If you want to take the top of the mountain, you must use bows and arrows when the shield soldiers attack. Soldiers come to cover and suppress the archers of the Shu soldiers, only in this way can we have a chance."

Deng Zhong followed his words and dispatched hundreds of crossbowmen to within range of the half-hillside, with shield soldiers attacking in front and archers behind to cover.The archers shoot upward at a forty-degree angle, bypassing the stone wall and throwing the arrow behind the stone wall.Since they couldn't see the situation behind the stone wall, the Wei army's archers only used diffuse methods to attack in a covering manner.

Although this kind of throwing is aimless, it can also cause a lot of damage to the soldiers on the top of the mountain. In order to deal with the bow and arrow counterattack of Wei soldiers, Liu Yin ordered the soldiers to get as close as possible to the stone wall, so that they could fly over the stone wall. The arrows on the wall will not hit the targets behind the back wall. As for the team in the back row, they use shields on their heads to guard against the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

At the same time, Liu Yin ordered the crossbowmen to focus on counterattacking the archers of the Wei army in the distance, and to attack the shield soldiers of the Wei army who had already attacked close by using rolling wood and pounding stones.

The most indispensable thing on the mountain is trees and stones. After arriving at Jingjun Mountain, Liu Yin ordered people to cut down a lot of trees and make them into rolling logs, and picked a lot of big stones. The remaining ones are used as lapping stones.Compared with the point-and-line strike of the bow and crossbow, the rolling wood and stone can be said to be a weapon that sweeps away thousands of troops. If a thick rolling log whizzes down, it will be a nightmare for the infantry attacking the mountain. No one can resist it, once it is hit, it will be crushed to blood.

Although the scatter at a 45-degree angle is less powerful than the flat shot at a low angle, the Wei army's archers have an advantage in number, and the arrow rain confrontation between the two sides has always been stalemate.

The battle lasted from morning to evening. The whole mountain road was already covered with the corpses of Wei Jun, and the blood had soaked the soil. Deng Zhong persevered in launching round after round of offensives. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Deng Zhong Zhong even frantically pressed all his troops up, ready to take down the mountain in one go.

Liu Yin's first group of family soldiers had already retreated to rest, and now Zhang Le's second group of family soldiers was fighting, but Liu Yin did not retreat. Facing the tide of Wei soldiers' offensive, Liu Yin also felt unprecedented pressure pressure.

"Brother, if it doesn't work, use gunpowder to blow it up!" Zhang Le suggested. 300 people faced a crazy attack of nearly 2000 people. After all, the pressure was very high. The power of ordinary bows and arrows and rolling wooden stones alone was not enough.

"Prepare the Yuan Rong crossbow!" Liu Yin ordered in a low voice.Gunpowder was his weapon at the bottom of the box, Liu Yin didn't plan to expose it prematurely, so now he could only use the Yuanrong crossbow as the big killer.

Wei Bing had rushed to a distance of forty or fifty steps away from the stone wall, and they were all pumping excitedly, as if victory was just around the corner.

But at this moment, thousands of short crossbow arrows suddenly poured out from behind the stone wall, like a storm that swept across the flat ground in an instant, drowning all the Wei soldiers on the road.

All the Wei soldiers were stunned. Under the intensive attack, the Wei soldiers fell down row by row. Those who rushed to the front had no hope of surviving, and another defeat was inevitable.

"Yuanrong crossbow?" Deng Zhong gasped after getting the eight-inch black short-barrel crossbow. He was no stranger to this kind of crossbow. During the years of fighting with the Shu army, many soldiers of the Wei army died here. Under the cluster of black arrows.

In the end, Deng Zhong also had to accept the disastrous ending, and returned to the river valley camp with less than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals.Under the moonlight, Deng Zhong's face showed horror, because he saw a big banner with the word "Deng" on it.
