Chapter 297 Yumen Pass defensive battle one
The next day, early morning.

On the towering Yumen Pass watchtower, five dragon hunters were watching the north vigilantly.

Suddenly, a huge army appeared in their line of sight. Through simple identification, the five dragon hunters quickly determined the source of this army.

After confirming his identity, Captain Dragon Hunting immediately ordered: "Beat the drum!"

All the watchtowers in Yumen Pass are equipped with war drums with loud drums, and their function is to convey the enemy's situation.

"promise!"

After a dragon-hunting crossbowman clasped his fists in his hands, he began to beat the war drum vigorously.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of war drums was extremely loud, but it spread throughout the entire Yumen Pass in a short time.

"Tread, step, step!"

Amid the sound of loud drums, a solemn Daqin sergeant quickly stepped into the city wall, and then defended according to the pre-arranged defense zone.

"Crack, click, click!"

The cannonballs, which were black and glowing with metallic light, were quickly filled into the barrel of the Shenwei cannon by the Daqin gunners.

"Where is the enemy now?"

Xue Rengui, who had just arrived on the city wall of Yumen Pass, asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Commander, the enemy army is now only ten miles away from Yumen Pass!"

On the watchtower, a dragon-hunting crossbowman with a solemn expression replied in a deep voice.

Hearing the sound, Xue Rengui in a white robe nodded, and then gave an order: "After the enemy army has advanced to Yumen Pass for eight miles, I will allow the dragon hunting crossbowmen to shoot. If the enemy army approaches five miles, I will allow the Shenwei Cannon to shoot If it gets closer to two miles, all long-range sergeants will attack!"

The ultimate shooting range of the Dragon Hunter is about eight miles, that of the Shenwei Heavy Cannon is five miles, and that of the firepower controller is two miles.

Although the dragon hunter's lethality is not as good as that of the firearms unit, its range is far beyond the limit of the firearms unit.

"As ordered!"

After hearing the order, all the Daqin generals stationed on the city wall responded.

A quarter of an hour later, the vanguard of the Qin coalition army entered the extreme shooting range of the dragon hunting crossbowmen.

"Crack, click, click!"

After the sound of the winch of the ballista winch sounded, the indifferent-looking dragon hunters aimed it at the vanguard of the Qin coalition army who had stepped into their extreme range.

After the eagle-like eyes locked on the target, the dragon hunting crossbowmen resolutely pulled the ballista hanging knives.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

In an instant, countless thick steel crossbow arrows roared down from the watchtower of Yumen Pass.

"Tread, step, step!"

Acting as the vanguard of the allied army against Qin was the Xuandun Legion of Emperor Xuanming.

The mysterious shield guards holding large shields stepped neatly on the thick frozen soil on the border of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Their faces are solemn, and the armor on their bodies has the beauty of metal.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

In an instant, the roaring crossbow arrows submerged the Black Shield guards in front of them.

Caught off guard, these black shield guards in front couldn't even hold up their shields, so they were shot into a sieve.

Scarlet warm blood slowly dripped down the shaft of the steel crossbow.

"Damn it, raise your shield!"

General Wu Li, who was the first to react, yelled at the Black Shield guards.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

After hearing the order, the black shield guards quickly dispersed and smashed down the large steel shield in their hands.

A large shield with astonishing defensive power quickly formed a shield wall.

The nervous-looking guard of the black shield held up the shield and slowly moved forward.

Behind the Black Shield Guards is the United Kingdom's heavy armored swordsman corps. Since the Black Shield Guards have endured a large number of crossbow arrows, they have almost no losses.

The Allied Army of the Qin Dynasty used the shield wall in front as a cover and slowly advanced towards Yumen Pass in front.

"Pfft!"

Although the shield wall restrains a large number of crossbow bolts, there are still unlucky ones who get shot.

"The bows and crossbows of the Qin army are truly the most powerful weapons in the world!"

Marshal Tahan of the United Kingdom sighed in surprise.

Eight miles away, except for the crossbows of the Qin army, the crossbows of other countries are just a display at this distance.

This was just a small episode. The guards of the Black Shield, who were facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, pushed forward with difficulty.

The rest of the Qin army behind the Xuandun guards could only follow closely behind the Xuandun guards.

"Oh!"

As the black shield guards in front walked, someone would fall to the ground with an arrow, and then the black shield guards behind would make up for it.

In this way, they moved forward three miles in step.

At this time, Qin Jun's crossbow stopped.

Countless soldiers of the Allied Army against Qin could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

But at this moment, the [-] Shenwei cannons deployed on the city wall of Yumen Pass let out a terrifying roar.

The black cannonball with tail flames smashed towards the Qin coalition army like hailstones.

At that time, gunpowder smoke filled the sky and cannons roared.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Black cannonballs exploded beside the Black Shield Guard.

In an instant, the guards of the black shield howled in misery. Iron shields can defend against crossbow arrows, but they cannot defend against the pervasive shrapnel.

A large amount of flesh and blood was torn apart by shells, and the scarlet blood was extremely dazzling in the black gunpowder smoke.

Under one round of shelling, at least tens of thousands of Black Shield guards were killed.

"Cannon, it's cannon!"

General Wu Li gritted his teeth and looked at the city wall of Yumen Pass in the distance.

The upper echelons of the emperors are not unfamiliar with artillery, but they are not very interested in artillery. They feel that artillery is too clumsy, and it is also restricted by the weather.

But it is obvious that Daqin's artillery has taught them a good lesson.

"Just call like this, and greet the "guest" for me!"

Xue Rengui, the commander of the Central Command, who was closed at the Yumen Gate, couldn't help laughing after witnessing the tragic situation of the vanguard of the Qin army.

Before he knew it, this peerless commander in the cold weapon era had already become a fan of the artillery circle known as the king of war.

"As ordered!"

Daqin's gunners were also extremely excited. They manipulated the Shenwei heavy artillery, and they bombarded the Qin coalition army indiscriminately.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Amid the deafening roar of artillery fire, the Black Shield guard was completely beaten to the ground.

The piece of land they were standing on just now has been severely turned over by the artillery.

"His Royal Highness, we can't stand it anymore!"

General Wu Li, who was blackened by cannon fodder, had an unusually sad tone.

He has 40 black shield guards, less than half of them are still alive.

The artillery cluster tactics are too terrifying, and human flesh and blood can't resist them at all.

After hearing the words, Zhou Wang Yang Yi said with a sullen face: "You are allowed to withdraw from the vanguard position!"

King Zhou knew that the Xuandun Legion had reached its limit, and it would not be beautiful to force it down.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Wu Li replied in a deep voice, he led less than half of the black shield guards out of the forward position.

After watching Wu Li leave, King Yang Yi of Zhou rushed to Commander-in-Chief Yang Hu and said in a deep voice, "Yang Hu, I'll leave it to you!"

Originally, he planned that the strength of the three families would frustrate the Qin army, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

"As ordered!"

Yang Hu is a tall and thick man, after he grinned in response, he ordered the 30 tiger and ben sergeants under his command and ran forward.

The Huben Legion is one of Fengrao's top ten ace legions, and its legion is extremely good at attacking tough battles.

The Huben Legion is divided into three combat departments, which are the Shield Department, the Assault Department, and the Long-range Fire Suppression Department. With their complete tactical arrangements, they have great advantages in tackling tough battles.

"Fearless Formation!"

After the Huben Legion entered the range of the Shenwei Cannon, the Hard Shield Department of the Legion took the lead in launching a large military formation.
