The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 118: A clue is emerging
Of course, there are no people without resistance. Just like Patriarch Jones, he brought a group of people in the clan with grudges to release the grudges from them, and used the brilliant grudges to control those arrows. Knock-up to protect the safety of some soldiers around and boost morale.
Among them, the most powerful one is Patriarch Jones. He who has reached the third rank is directly released from his body, forming a light curtain, isolating all the arrows ten meters away, and the arrows are shot in this light curtain. They bounced off one after another, and couldn't take a step anymore.
And knowing that the range of the light curtain is more than 20 meters, he fully guarded the hundreds of soldiers around him. At the same time, there were more soldiers who saw that there was a safe place here, and they were desperate. Coming, pushing and squeezing.
As for the other barbarians with grudge, although their strength is relatively strong, they are only second-tier and they can’t release their grudge. They can only use their own grudge blessed skills to protect the surrounding area. Several meters of space.
There are also two or three of his soldiers who can gather around and get some protection, but more people will not do it, but it will affect their mobility and make everyone unable to get help
But what use is this? It is not useless for the entire battlefield situation. Jones gathered over the entire city wall, and more than 30 vindictive owners were just soldiers who protected him with no more than two hundred people.
Other people either wailed and screamed constantly under the arrow rain, slowly watching their blood drain, and losing their lives after being tortured.
Either hide under the corner, the arrow of prayer will not fall here, trembling all over. He kept muttering in his mouth, hoping that his ancestor **** would bless him to survive successfully.
But the entire city wall is so big, and the protective measures are not as perfect as those built by regular forces. How many places can be used to hide for them to hide!
can use this method, but dozens of people survived. With ten shots of 10,000 people taking turns, a full 100,000 arrow feathers poured directly onto the entire city wall.
100,000 arrow feathers, what is this concept? It's like borrowing an arrow from a straw boat, which is very famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu used tactics to force Zhuge Liang to create 100,000 arrow feathers within ten days. Others thought it was too harsh and could not be produced in such a short time.
You must know that this is the supply of the entire Soochow, tens of thousands of troops, how could it be created in an instant! These 100,000 arrows can be seen at that time and can be used for a long time.
At least it is enough to support Zhou Yu to finish a battle of Chibi. Now, the arrows that others can use for a long time can be shot out at will in this short moment, as if they don't need money, what about it, it will not shock the enemy, heart and liver, and trembling all over!
I don’t know anything else, but in this short moment, the entire city wall is like a irritated hedgehog, spreading its spikes like a cactus, with dense needle points everywhere. .
Therefore, it has developed to the ultimate bow and crossbow craftsmanship, compared with the firearm era of flintlock muskets in terms of power. Whether it is in range or rate of fire, it has certain advantages.
At least, in terms of the rate of fire, the crossbow also has the existence of a cheating like a continuous crossbow. The range of the crossbow can reach 300 meters to 500 meters. The flintlock musket can only reach 100 meters. If you want to travel the maximum range and enter the flintlock musket, you can exert its power. Not an easy task.
After ten rounds of arrow rain, fewer than 300 people can stand on this city wall. And most of them have some minor or serious injuries, and those who have a grudge are also out of breath.
Obviously persisting for such a long time has caused their internal fighting energy to be consumed sharply, and their physical strength is almost exhausted. The only thing that looks better is Jones, but his complexion is also flushed, just holding on and not showing it.
One person protected him more than 100 people, and his anger was placed 10 meters away, and his range expanded to 20 meters. He is not one of the fourth-order strong, but a mere third-order, and he has not yet produced quality. Metamorphosis.
Naturally, you cannot achieve unlimited consumption, and you can't sway freely when you release your vindictive energy. It is already very good to be able to persist until the rain of arrows on your side stops!
Seeing someone standing on the city wall, Cao Cao frowned. He was indeed what the Emperor had told him in every possible way before he set out.
These barbarians with extraordinary strength and vindictiveness are really tricky. In this case, it can still support the arrow rain for so long.
Although the big reason is that they only need to defend a small part of the position with the help of the geographical position, it is also very incredible, and it is worthy of surprise.
It seems that I have to add some ingredients to them, to defeat them, and let their fighting will completely disintegrate. So Kacheng surrendered, reducing his troubles and losses.
Although at first I said that I didn't care about the losses of the soldiers, but in the end, I still need to reduce the losses. After all, these are soldiers whose majesty the emperor uses an unknown amount of resources to exchange them out!
how can it be wasted at will? Therefore, Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to launch a catapult with a height of more than ten meters. After the army began to deploy and there was just a shower of arrows, the dismantled catapult has been assembled and is ready to attack at any time.
squeak~IndoMTL.com~ The heavy catapult was pushed forward with difficulty by the soldiers. Slowly approaching 1000 meters away from the city wall, this is the maximum distance that the catapult can reach an effective range after being improved.
Cao Cao didn’t dare to push the catapult too close, lest those with extraordinary powers above the city wall rushed over the wall and opened the gate directly to give him a surprise attack. He destroyed these catapults and wanted to rebuild them. That can be very troublesome.
The catapult stopped slowly, and the soldiers were slowly correcting and adjusting, preparing for the catapult, so as to give the barbarians the most beautiful appetizer in the next attack.
Jones watched the rain of arrows stop, and the people who shot the arrows also stepped back, feeling relieved, and the hanging heart slowly let go, finally he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Just to protect the precious warriors of my tribe, I desperately used the power of milking to release my grudge, and the support is now very exhausted. If it is him for a few more rounds, maybe I am really. I'm going to be planted too.
Fortunately, he stopped, and his life was saved. As for why he didn't give up the soldiers? Hide or run for your life alone.
That's because he deeply understands that he can have such a position now, in addition to his third-tier strength, which is a great help, it is more of these loyal fighters under his command, a powerful tribe. One step pushed himself to where he is now.
So how can he give up these, abandon his position and live the life of those ordinary strong men! Even if you go to other tribes to take refuge, you can get good treatment.
But there is a big difference between being the boss, and being someone else whose life is not in your hands, there is a big difference. I think everyone knows how to choose!
