At this time, the suspicious Yu Kou stood in the dark, calmed down for a moment, and then asked the flag bearer to light the fire. The war drums had already started, so there was no need to sneak around at night.
Rows of torches formed a continuous line like a long dragon, and the yellow bean fire light shone on this piece of land, which was insignificant. Moreover, because the wind was too strong and the hunter was facing west, it was difficult to clearly reflect the Ye camp on the other side of Chaohu Egret.
But that was enough. Yu Kou took a closer look and saw that at the Ye camp barrier, the shiny armor reflected pieces of luster - this was indeed a group of soldiers wearing armor and helmets, not some straw fakes. No matter how many others there are, it’s difficult to see them carefully due to distance and light.
"Prepare--"
Julu Kingdom once again prepared to launch the second wave of crossbows. The purpose was to take advantage of his illness to kill him and to pursue him while he was victorious. At the same time, he would blast all the barriers outside the Ye camp that were an eyesore. broken.
"shoot--"
The sound of breaking wind is like the sound of thin silk being torn apart, which is amplified countless times. The powerful roaring sound that pierces through, and when it falls heavily, the momentum of the air wave raised, everything will be flattened, and the building will be destroyed. dump.
Two rounds, six hundred of these giant arrows, each arrow is five feet and three inches long. It is said to be a crossbow arrow, but it is more like an iron gun. Therefore, this multi-bow crossbow is not only large in size, but also requires dozens of people. A twisted shaft is used to shoot arrows with the combined force of several bows.
At present, these 300 three-bow bed crossbows require at least 3,000 people to fire the bows together. Among them, special people are required to aim, and then someone with amazing arm strength uses a giant ax to fire the bed crossbow.
So although these three hundred bows are amazingly powerful, once such large-scale equipment is used to attack, it cannot be simply and smoothly completed by putting it on a machine. The more powerful it is, the more manpower and material resources will be consumed to supply it.
The so-called material resources refer to the huge cost of making the giant arrow, the damage during transportation, and the damage during use. After all, it is not easy to make such a complicated bed crossbow.
Zheng Quchi had seen it from afar during the Six Kingdoms Military Trial and Exhibition before, but he couldn't see it carefully and could only make a general observation. Now with Liu Chaiji's description, the size and weight of the actual arrows can be roughly deduced. Go back to bed crossbow related data.
Generally, the first two bows of a three-bow bed crossbow are for shooting power, and the recursive bow is for acceleration. The power of the first two bows and one bow can reach more than 100 kilograms, and the rear recursive bow is 140 or 5 kilograms. The crossbow arrows used are five The length of the ruler is three inches. The bed frame is not yet known...
Zheng Quchi pulled off a crossbow arrow and took it back. He observed carefully that an iron ring was added to the tail of the long arrow to increase tail gravity. This design should be mainly to increase the lethality when shooting horizontally.
She was calculating with her hands and calculating the range precisely in her mind. She finally concluded that the range was four to six hundred steps, which is about five to seven hundred meters. The power within five hundred meters was even greater. Even if it hit a horse, it could kill it. Flying three meters away.
After two rounds of shooting from the opponent, Zheng Quchi guessed that they should stop.
From what she saw, shooting two rounds in a row should be the limit of their early psychological presets. A crossbow arrow weighed about twenty kilograms, and there were thousands of arrows. The more they carried, the harder it would be to transport them. According to her heart, Imagine that the crossbows they prepared would not be particularly large.
It's not that they plan to deal with the Beiyuan Kingdom. Considering the contemptuous and contemptuous attitude of these people towards the Ye army, this is the most reasonable guess.
Therefore, every time Julu Kingdom launches a three-bow bed crossbow against Yeying in the future, it will be crucial and will not be done recklessly.
I hope her guess is correct, because in this way, she will be able to buy a certain amount of time to hit the bottom and resist, instead of being left vulnerable.
With a dull and loud "bang", the barriers built in Yeying were finally overwhelmed and collapsed.
At this time, several silver-white electric chains flashed in the sky, and the light was great. In a very short period of time, everyone felt as if the night was brightly illuminated, and all the dark corners and corners in front of them could be seen at a glance.
She Kou and Mu Jin glanced at the ground and found that the "thousands of people" were crushed to the ground by broken pieces of mud. However, with so many people falling to the ground, there was no trace of blood flowing from them. There seemed to be piles of people scattered on the ground. There are no hands or feet in the armored helmet, and it doesn’t look like someone is wearing it...
Some of the pictures within his sight suddenly fell into the darkness of the polar night as the light flashed for a moment, and everything could no longer be seen clearly.
However, in such a short period of time, they also noticed something strange, and their hearts suddenly "thumped", as if they realized one thing - they were being tricked.
They were all severely fooled by Zheng Quchi!
She Kou didn't believe it, so he immediately ordered people to investigate and verify the authenticity.
"Go find out!"
"yes--"
He sent a team of soldiers over. They held torches. As soon as they got closer, they saw armor scattered all over the ground not far away. They were everywhere, but under the mud and debris, there was not a single one. The existence of a corpse...
Damn, I really fell for them!
After finding out this shocking news, they were all stunned. The next second, they hurried back to report the truth.
"There is no Ye army stationed there. They are all pieces of armor that have been taken off and no one is wearing it."
When She Kou heard this, his eyes widened: "What?!"
The spy continued: "The Ye army should have used two wooden poles to put on their clothes. In addition, it is cloudy and moonless tonight. From a distance, it looks like soldiers standing on defense. In fact, it is all an illusion. They, the Ye army, are all alone." None of the real people were shot to death, they all hid far away!"
She Kou felt the anger rising from his heart to the sky. He was so angry that his whole body could not stop trembling: "What a Zheng Quchi, how can he be so cunning and deceitful, and come up with such things to deceive me, the general!"
He sent out troops in the middle of the night and quietly deployed heavy equipment to raid Ye Camp. He thought that this attack could cause a fatal blow to Ye Camp, but he didn't expect that she played such a mysterious trick on him, making him in vain. Been busy all night!
Mu Jin went with She Kou this time, perhaps because he had been fooled by Zheng Quchi enough before, and he seemed not to be surprised if this happened again this time.
He said coldly: "It doesn't matter. Now that their barrier has been destroyed, one thing has been settled. Isn't she, Zheng Quchi, the best at making conspiracies? That's fine, I won't compete with her in the dark until we wait. At daybreak, all the troops will attack and crush them. By then their entire Ye camp will be exposed to our eyes, and I don’t expect them to be able to pull off any more tricks."
Mu Jin's words struck a chord in She Kou's heart.
Zheng Quchi's plan was indeed different. If he hadn't taken one step at a time and thought ten steps ahead, anticipating every step of the enemy's plan in advance, tonight would be the time when thousands of people from their Ye camp would be buried.
In other words, without enough vigilance and planning to detect the enemy's sneak attack in advance, Zheng Quchi and her soldiers would have died not long ago.
Her plans again and again finally made She Kou hesitate and dare not launch an attack rashly again. If Zheng Quchi had any other tricks waiting ahead, wouldn't their Julu Kingdom be on the verge of a battle with Hongsheng? Army and Nanchen Army's footsteps?
People can be arrogant, but they cannot be blindly arrogant. He looked down on Ye State, but obviously he could not underestimate Zheng Quchi who could win the Hongsheng Army and Nanchen Army.
If she had survived until now by relying on luck, then her luck could be considered part of her strength.
If she has relied on her intelligence to survive in Ye camp to this day, then she should not be looked down upon, even if she is just a young woman.
After thinking about it, darkness can breed evil ideas, and it can also breed conspiracy traps in which the weak defeat the strong. Compared with Yin, it seems that they are really no match for Zheng Quchi, who has advanced ideas, so they will wait until daylight and use the absolute power to Victory is determined by military strength.
But there was one more thing that She Kou didn't want to understand. He and Mu Jin said, "How come their Ye army has so many armors outside?"
"Wouldn't it be enough for each person to take off one piece?"
"Then aren't they all wearing only a single robe now? If we attack, with swords and guns fighting, it will be easy to kill them."
After some discussion, the two of them concluded: "No matter how good a woman is at planning, she still only uses some unscrupulous tricks. In the end, Mrs. Yuwen and Zheng were only clever but were misled by her cleverness."
After some speculation, they became more determined to wait for dawn and attack directly. They were originally worried that someone else would cause trouble, but according to the news they just received——
The Xize Kingdom sent some troops to the Hongsheng Camp, and the Beiyuan Kingdom also sent a small army to the Xize Camp. At this time, Yuan Xingzhou's team was still stranded in the Hongsheng Camp to sort out supplies. Will collide with Nishizawa's army... By then, Yuan Xingzhou and his remaining troops may never come back.
So the previous worries no longer exist, so why should he take the risk and choose to take risks tonight...
Suddenly, She Kou's expression suddenly changed. The thought of "taking risks" flashed through his mind just now. His eyes stared gloomily ahead, just like the hazy sky.
He would not admit that he was afraid of a woman.
——
The Julu Kingdom stopped its offensive, just as Zheng Quchi expected, but she did not relax her tense nerves for a moment.
At this time, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. She was followed by a group of people, walking quickly to the pit and trap, and ordered people to remove the covering above, revealing the thousands of people hidden underneath.
Due to the huge number of people, they were almost unsteady standing underneath. People were pressing on each other, leaning on each other, and crowding in. At first glance, they thought this pit was a corpse pit where people were buried.
Zheng Quchi held a torch in his hand, shining a pair of starry eyes: "Do you still want to live?"
Her clear voice was clear and distinct, but at this time it was cooler than the water of Bailu Lake.
The people below opened their eyes in panic, raised their faces and looked up blankly. A thin layer of rain fell on their bodies, and the faint firelight like starlight came into their eyes. They felt cold and shivering all over.
The climate in late spring is so changeable. It can be as high as 30 degrees Celsius during the day, and only a few degrees Celsius at night. Coupled with the humid and cool environment, it is cold and rainy by the lake.
It was a pity that they no longer had the majestic military armor on them at that time, and they only wore a thin winter coat, which was even more unbearable. (End of chapter)
