At this time, fifty thousand people, pushing various siege equipment and beating war drums, approached the city wall.

If they had walked another thirty meters, their forward would have already reached the edge of the trench.

At this point, the archers began to shoot. The range of the bow and arrow can cover their entire team from the forward line to 120 meters away.

These men were all wearing leather armor and dismounted and walked.

The armor coverage rate in Mongolia as a whole is still not high. Only the four major tribes can provide 20,000 to 30,000 pure armored cavalry. Most of the rest are leather armor.

Although there is no Ming Dynasty blockade in the Western Region, iron is also a scarce resource.

They relied on plundering craftsmen of various ethnic groups as slaves to produce firearms, armor, and weapons, and the production efficiency was not high. Not nearly as large as through trade.

However, several surrounding big countries were afraid of the Mongols, and no one was willing to be an enemy to let them become stronger again.

Mongolia is now divided and killing each other. They all think it is good that the Mongols have become what they are now. It would be better if it can continue.

Tsarist Russia in the north. The Kazakh Empire to the west. Iran and Mughal India to the south. Southwest Arabia and the Ottoman Empire. There is no one, I hope they become stronger again.

Yang Fan didn't expect any good archers in these group trainings.

Therefore, he implements management by objectives. One hundred arrows, shoot them as you like, and after you finish shooting, you can go down and rest. As long as you can draw the bow. Just shoot the arrow at an elevated angle.

It's not difficult, you don't need to aim, just shoot. The officer will check your quiver and you are not allowed to leave the fighting position until you have finished shooting.

For these regiment trainers, although they are also afraid of the huge Mongolian army under the city. But they knew clearly that if they didn't want Cheng Po to be taken to the Western Regions to herd sheep, they would never be able to return to their homeland.

The only thing they can do is resist desperately and they must not be allowed to break through Jiuyuan City.

In three or four minutes, ten thousand people shot a million arrows. They didn't even look down, there was just one, shooting desperately. Quick shot. After I finished ejaculating, I went down to rest quickly.

The siege battle for a while will definitely be extremely brutal. It would be wise to leave early.

Then they exploded with potential and quickly shot all one hundred arrows.

After shooting the arrows, these regiment practitioners went down to rest together.

Their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them up.

Another ten thousand men came up to the walls to relieve them, preparing for the ensuing hand-to-hand combat.

One million arrows fell intensively in three to four minutes. 33

Whoosh! The whistling sound is endless. These arrows are all mechanized production at Xincheng Arsenal. They are all standard industrial products. Although Yang Fan captured many bows, he did not have many arrows. Moreover, many of the Monan Mongolian bows and arrows are made of stone and bone.

How can Yang Fan see these rags, and the effect is not good.

Originally, these regiments were not good at training soldiers, and no matter how bad their weapons were, the battle would not be fought. Yang Fan directly asked the hydraulic machinery workshop in Xincheng to work day and night to produce arrows. Then the water comes.

The arrows flew in, making a sound like a swarm of locusts coming from a distance. These arrows are all made of sound, and there are holes in the arrows that make sounds.

The Mongols below immediately raised various shields.

For this attack, all the ministries gathered their shields and gave them to the siege troops.

They held small bucklers covered with rawhide. They held Central Asian-style Arab shields, and some even held various strange-shaped temporary shields made of wood.

However, they are not immune to a million arrows with their shields raised like this.

Arrows flew down diagonally like rain. The dense arrows fell, and the ground seemed to grow grass in an instant, as if it had turned into a grassland. In the strong wind, arrows stuck in the ground were swaying all over the ground.

Countless people were shot, and there were too many places that the shield could not protect. The area of ​​​​the shield is so large that it is impossible to protect the whole body.

As long as the bows and arrows are densely packed to a certain extent, even if the head is protected, the torso will be hit by arrows. If the torso is protected, the limbs will also be hit by arrows.

For a moment, everyone in the attacking force was crouching down, trying their best to reduce their projection area. Use the shield to make an angle of 45 degrees as much as possible, blocking the front and top. Only in this way can you protect yourself as much as possible.

Captain Wulihan was on the second floor of a carriage, half of his body peeking out from the side window. Look outside. He saw dense black dots appearing in the sky in front of him.

He quickly retracted his body, and an arrow was nailed to the wood of the window.

At this time, a rain of arrows came down, and looking down from the building car, a large area was shot down directly below. Many people were shot in the calves and feet, but the severe pain would cause people to fall down, lose the protection of their shields, and be shot into hedgehogs by more arrows that followed.

These arrows all carried a whistling sound as they broke through the air. Very scary. These screams disturbed the minds of the army and brought additional tension.

Wulihan grabbed the arrow and pulled it out with a roar.

He was a famous wrestler and a warrior, but he still had a hard time pulling it out. Unexpectedly, this arrow actually shot so deep.

He narrowed his narrow eyes and observed carefully.

He found that this arrow was completely different from the one used by the Mongols. The arrow head is triangular pyramid shaped. There are very few such arrows, and they are generally used for armor-piercing arrows. Normal arrows are in the shape of a spear head.

There are also perverts like the Jiannu who have great strength and amazing bow power. They use arrows that look like shovels. One arrow can chop off a human head. Or tackle the arm.

The arrows used by these Han people shone with a cold light. At first glance, it is made of fine steel and is polished very sharply. The exquisite workmanship made Wulihan open his eyes in surprise. This is too rich.

He knew that these were directly cast with molten steel, then quenched several times to increase the hardness, and then polished with grinding wheels. They were completely mechanized production. The workshop in Xincheng uses hydraulic machinery, which makes the grinding very fast. Working three shifts 24 hours a day, the output is terrifying.

Wulihan looked at the arrow shafts. These arrow shafts were all made of eucalyptus wood. They had good elasticity and were made of the best materials. What surprised him was that these arrow shafts were absolutely cylindrical. I really don’t know how they have such skilled craftsmen.

These arrow shafts are made from hydraulic woodworking machines, and of course they are absolutely round. No burrs at all.

Then several more arrows landed in the window. He discovered that all arrows were exactly the same regardless of length, size, or weight. It's like they came out of the same mold.

Wulihan looked down from the window and saw that the entire team had completely stopped moving in the face of the rain of arrows. They all squatted on the ground and raised their shields upwards to resist the intensive bows and arrows.

Some people died, but not completely...
