Chapter 478

Inside the camp, the dark muzzle tilted upward and pointed to the sky.

"Put"

Cao Jie's loud voice sounded like a thunderbolt in the air.

The next moment, he Wu, standing next to the dark crossbow, waved and pulled the long rope pulling the crossbow string.

"Buzz"

The violent sound of air tremor sounded, and a thick arrow rushed out of the muzzle and flew obliquely up into the sky.

The thick arrow drew a parabola obliquely in the air, and fell far beyond the shelter of the camp and the mountain forest, and could no longer be seen.

Su Lu narrowed his eyes. It's good. These boys have made such a crossbow. They just don't know how powerful it is. Don't be like a big wooden stake after landing.

"How far can this crossbow go?"

Su Lu asked he Wu, the gun operator.

He Wu saw Su Lu, his face changed, hurried to give a military salute and said.

"Commander Hui, the tension of the bowstring of the crossbow is different, and the distance that can be pushed is also different. The position of the fourth level just set, such an arrow, the normal shooting distance should be beyond six miles and within eight miles."

Su Lu nodded, kicked the dark crossbow with his foot, and asked, "it's made of wood. How can you get the dark? How far can you shoot at such a length?"

Dani, holding rice paper in her hand, was bending over to look at the bow string. Hearing the speech, she replied excitedly: "fortunately, it's OK to hit twelve miles away, and the target is not easy to calibrate. It takes several calibrations to hit the target."

Cao Jie next to him smiled: "the governor's lesson is that we don't dare to build more such catapults because we don't fight many times and have military orders. We just built more catapults with close firing distance, which is enough to arm our catapult camp."

Su Lu nodded: "who came up with this idea to build a crossbow that can hit so far?"

Dong Ling said, "this is my light. Last time I mentioned to Dani that if our crossbow is far enough, the birds of the Taixi people will be shot down by us before they get close. How nice it would be."

Next to Dani smiled shyly: "we just want to build some crossbows with enough shooting distance."

Su Lu nodded, ordered and said, "good idea, but the war between us and the West Thai coalition army is about to begin. There is no time for you to continue research and development. In this way, you are all incorporated into the army, carry this crossbow with the Chinese army, and calibrate and adjust in the actual battle."

The three men took command together.

Three days later, the Han army began to pull out.

The left Route Army and the right route army set out at the same time. They divided their troops from the South Road and the North Road to the north mountain, swept away the remnants of barbarians in the north mountain along the road, and joined forces with the Middle Route Army under the north mountain city ten days later.

Hua Xun led the Chinese army one step ahead and went straight to Beishan city.

Su Lu unified the army later, but because of Su Ge, Li Qing sent a large number of internal bodyguards to protect Su Lu's safety and resolutely not let Su Lu go to the front line again.

Su Lu had no choice but to lead the Chinese army.

There are a lot of barbarians left along the road. One or two barbarians can kill a large number of people, occupy villages and towns, bully and feed people, just like the ancestors of villages and towns.

The speed of the Huaxun unified army was dragged down by sporadic barbarians. Although YingYuan led the vanguard army to wipe out some barbarians, many barbarians were still missed and faced the army.

This is inevitable. The barbarians have retreated several times, and there are many residual forces fleeing in the middle. Now there are residual barbarians everywhere in the territory of Qin.

Ten days later, Huaxun finally arrived at the foot of Beishan city.

Camped 15 miles away from Beishan City, blocking the possibility of barbarians fleeing to the East. At the same time, they also occupied the highland and began the test firing of new crossbow guns.

"Buzzing"

In the camp, it was the day of shooting every day. Dani he Wu and Cao were busy. According to the shooting data, they recorded the cooperation between the crossbow and the crossbow, leaving first-hand data to find a new direction for improving the crossbow in the future.

On this day, the sky was slightly bright, and the torches and lanterns in the Han Army camp lit up. The chef army had started cooking, and all kinds of fragrance began to float over the camp.

When Su Lu left the camp, he saw that Cao Jie and he Wu had been busy around the crossbow. They wiped the yellow sand on the crossbow, opened the machine box of the crossbow and wiped it carefully. Many sergeants of the surrounding catapult battalion did the same thing.

It's windy and sandy in the West. Whenever the wind blows, the sky is always covered with yellow sand. The crossbow is always covered with a layer of sand. If it is not cleaned up, the crossbow can't be fired.

After breakfast, the generals began to train the army and prepare to fight with the West Thai coalition army.

On the opposite side, the barbarian army has been prepared, and the phalanxes everywhere have begun to move slowly. In the middle of the towering evil spirit, golden drums and gongs roared, and the barbarian attack began.

"Catapult battalion, ready to volley."

Su Lu told Cao, the fireman, to take it up.

The distance between the two armies now exceeds ten miles, which is a good opportunity for the crossbow to educate the barbarians.

"Buzz"

The crossbow pierced the air, and in the dull air trembling sound, a thick arrow slanted upward.

Behind the barbarian army, Su Buze is arguing with liwute. Neither of them wants the other to come forward.

"I can't. after fighting with the Han army for so long, I haven't won at all. If I lead the army and lose to the Han army again this time, it will hurt my sergeant's anger. I'd better go to liwute."

Also quickly pushed out the responsibility.

Liwute's back is cold. This son of a bitch is not only a crow's mouth, but also good at shirking responsibility. No, he must not leave this unlucky task on his own.

"I can't do it either. I don't have much level. The Han army is powerful. If I command, I will be defeated this time."

"Boom"

A camp not far away was smashed open and in a mess.

The camp is in a mess. Several barbarians have been stabbed into flesh and blood. Two of the Taixi people in the camp are still alive, but they look as if they are scared silly.

Also quickly Buze shrunk his neck and said in fear, "the Han army is too strong. We're still going to lose miserably this time."

Livut jumped and said, "look, it's coming again, it's coming again!"

"This time they are aiming at the camp. If they aim at us next time, our flesh and blood can't stop this thing."

Also quick not Ze heart a Lin, with liwute looked at each other, each other tacitly smiled.

Liwute turned and ordered his subordinates: "pack up and get ready to withdraw. We're going to lose."

In the Han Army, Cao Jie looked at the barracks destroyed by crossbows and arrows in the distance and scolded he Wu in the back:

"Damn it, I just aimed at those barbarian leaders. How did they get to the camp far behind them? It's really bad luck. Can this thing be accurate?"

He Wu also blushed. "Fuck it, let it go first. Just kill someone."

"Eh, what's the news of the barbarians? As soon as the war was fought, the rear army general began to shrink."

In their surprised eyes, they saw that the opposing barbarian rear army, two leaders with their subordinates, had begun to retreat.
