Beidou Continent

Yu Zongheng saw that the two sides had not yet come into contact with each other, but his own side had already begun to lose troops. His eyes turned red, and he ordered in a hoarse voice with all his strength:"Archers, take cover, follow my orders, prepare to counterattack with all your strength!"

At the top of the city! The soldiers of the Yuheng Kingdom were also well-trained. Even though arrows were raining down and casualties continued, the soldiers still stood firm in their respective positions and were ready.

Taking advantage of the brief rotation among the Tiankui Empire's crossbowmen, Yu Zongheng seized the opportunity and issued the order to attack with all his strength without hesitation. In an instant, countless arrows were shot from the top of the city.

However, the iron arrows, which were as black as ink, could not reach the enemy camp a hundred feet away. After flying sixty or seventy feet, they were already at the end of their powerful crossbows and fell down one after another.

Seeing this, Yu Zongheng's eyes were about to burst. He grabbed the bow of an archer beside him, leaned out of the shield dangerously, used all his strength to draw the bow string, and shot an arrow. After all, he is a God Temper, and his arm strength is obviously better than that of ordinary soldiers. I saw the pitch-black arrow piercing the air at an extremely fast speed, flying hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye. There was a"dang" sound, and the arrow was blocked by the high-erected shield. After rebounding for several meters, it lay alone in the open space outside the city.

Wei Zi bent down to pick up the crossbow arrow shot by the Tiankui soldiers that fell not far away. After looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It really is so.

More than ten years ago, in the cabin of the Chutian, they discovered that the Tiankui Empire was using a new type of alloy, which was light but extremely tough. At that time, Wei Wuya asserted that this material would definitely be applied to weapons and equipment. Now it seems that it is indeed true. Compared with the iron arrows currently being used by Yu Heng Kingdom, the crossbow arrows made of this alloy undoubtedly have a longer range and are more powerful in breaking armor.

However, she remembered that her grandfather had already informed Bai Muchen of the existence of this alloy. Now, more than ten years have passed, why is the Yuheng Kingdom still using iron arrows? Could it be that the Japanese Alliance has never been able to develop or steal the formula for the alloy? Or is it that even though Yaoguang Kingdom has developed this alloy, it is so precious to itself that it refuses to share it with its allies?

Puzzled, Wei Zi shook her head, quietly opened the invisible armor, and called on her friends to collect these arrows at the top of the city and secretly put them in a storage bag.

Who says the only hot wars in modern times are wars over money? War in the cold weapon age also burned money. It seems that the Tiankui Empire has not been idle during the five years of locking the formation, and has accumulated a lot of war preparation materials. Looking back, she had to hand over the crossbow arrows she picked up to Bai Muchen. Whether it's research or recycling, it's better to make the Tiankui Empire become poorer and poorer.

On the city wall, Yu Zongheng looked dejected, and finally waved his hand, causing the soldiers to stop their futile attacks. Everyone stood firm to prevent the enemy from forcibly entering the city.

The crossbows are not as strong as others, and the bows and arrows are not as sharp as others. It was not the soldiers or ordinary generals who were at fault, but him, the prince who was in charge of the military and political power of a country.

Bai Muchen had long told him that the crossbows equipped by the Tiankui Empire were much more powerful than the traditional bows and arrows they used. The reason was that they used a special alloy. Bao Wenge spent a lot of manpower and material resources to develop the formula of this alloy. , and Yaoguang Guoye has purchased this recipe.

Hearing this, Yu Zongheng was not unmoved, but the high price of the alloy formula put him off.

He reprimanded Yaoguang and Baowenge for making huge war fortunes and asked them to hand over the formula free of charge. How could Bai Muchen agree? He made the excuse that he had signed a confidentiality agreement with Bowen Pavilion and could not disclose it, so he refused to comply. And he was unable to find out the specific behavior of Bowen Pavilion, so in the end the matter was left undisturbed.

Now it seems that he is really too short-sighted. No matter how expensive the formula is, it is only a one-time investment. If I had gritted my teeth and bought it, why would I be so passive today?
