Of course the Onezawa bandits would not wait to be beaten. It was not their style to stick to their copycats.
What's so great about these guys in Dongping Mansion? They have two eyes and one nose. I don't believe they are more powerful than the imperial army!
In the opinion of Leader Song, the main reason he suffered losses in Dongping Mansion was because he was unprepared. Now that everyone is facing each other in a big battle, it is not certain who will win and who will lose!
Although most of his subordinates are active in the Jeju area, there are also people looking after the cottage.
Leader Song gave an order and led five thousand elite soldiers to kill him from the stronghold!
The Yun family's 10,000-strong army faced off against the 5,000 Ohnozawa bandits. The superiority in numbers did not mean that the battle would be won.
What's more, the Yun family army has just arrived and has not even set up camp. The leader of Song Dynasty is ready to wait for work and use his own fresh troops to defeat Yun Chao's tired army!
Standing on a high slope, Yun Chao couldn't help but frown as he looked at some of the large weapons brought out by Onezawa bandits.
Trouble!
It seems that in this war, my own losses are inevitable!
Jia Mancang next to him was also chewing his teeth.
"Brother Chao, the Onoza bandits actually have this thing, it's hard to handle!"
What caused headaches for the generals of the Yun family army was the eight crossbows launched by the Onozawa bandits.
This kind of bed crossbow requires dozens of soldiers to twist the winch to string the crossbow arrows, so it is also called the Eight Ox Crossbow!
Just winding it up is so laborious, one can only imagine how big Bam's crossbow arrows are.
Each bed has three crossbow arrows, two in front and one in back.
It's called an arrow in name, but it's actually over two meters long. It's not an exaggeration to call it a gun.
The arrow shaft is made of thick and long wood, the arrow feathers are made of iron, and the three iron feathers are like three swords, so it is also called one gun and three sword arrows!
It can be said that one gun, three swords and arrows is a long-range weapon in cold weapon warfare, comparable to a trebuchet.
Not only can it attack enemy soldiers from a distance, it can also shoot into the city wall when attacking a city, providing a stepping stone for soldiers who climb the city.
"Mancang, don't hide it. Since the Onoza bandits don't follow martial ethics, let's push out our bed crossbow!"
No need to ask, the Eight Ox Crossbow of the Ohnozawa bandits must have been obtained from Jeju City.
However, Jeju is not a border city, and city defense is not the focus. There are only eight bed crossbows.
Compared with the Onezawa bandits, the Yun family army has many more eight-niu crossbows.
Bought eight from Dongping Mansion.
During the battle between the Onezawa bandits and Tong Guan's officers and soldiers, the Yun family's army captured another twenty-eight.
In other words, the Yun Family Army now has a total of thirty-six Eight-Niu Crossbows!
Li Xing's second division took away twelve, and Jia Mancang's third division took away twenty-four.
Twenty-four against the eight Onozawa bandits, there is definitely an advantage in numbers.
However, sometimes war cannot be just about numbers, luck is also very important.
Not long after the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, there was a very famous battle called the Battle of Chanyuan.
Originally, the Wu Dynasty's army was already on its last legs, but by chance, the foreign leader was killed six hundred meters away by a shot, three swords and arrows from the top of the city.
Without their coach, the foreign race signed the famous "Chanyuan Alliance" with the Wu Dynasty. Otherwise, when Yun Chao crossed over, he still wouldn't be sure who would take over!
Therefore, when Wu Er saw that the Onozawa bandit had a three-bow crossbow, Wu Er refused to let Yun Chao come forward at all.
Yun Chao has no leverage, so if he doesn't step forward, he shouldn't. If he is shot to death, he will be the most miserable time traveler in the world.
There were generals at all levels stationed on the battlefield, and Yun Chao felt reassured.
"Brother Chao, you should take charge."
With Yun Chao around, Jia Mancang wanted to give up the command. He believed from the bottom of his heart that his commanding abilities were not at the same level as Yun Chao's.
"Mancang, I told you when I came here that you will direct this battle. I will only observe and not speak."
Jia Mancang curled his lips. He didn't know who pushed the Eight Ox Crossbow just now.
Yun Chao also saw Jia Mancang's eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment.
I'm used to it, and I can't help but want to talk.
Jia Mancang saw that Yun Chao was really unwilling to give orders, so he had to start giving orders.
"Send the order to the artillery battalion. The battle will begin later. Shoot the opponent's Eight Ox Crossbow first!"
Artillery Battalion, as soon as you heard it, you knew it was named by Yun Chao.
Neither Jia Mancang nor Li Xing knew why Yun Chao had such a strange name.
It is said to be an artillery battalion, but it is actually an artillery regiment.
The artillery regiment is directly under the jurisdiction of Yunchao and is a newly established army.
This time, Yun Chao brought three battalions, one of which was given to Li Xing, and the two battalions followed to Onezawa.
When he was in Dongping Mansion, Yun Chao often ran to the artillery regiment, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with.
By the time both sides were ready, nearly an hour had passed.
Leader Song originally wanted to surprise the Dongping Army.
Unexpectedly, the other party's Eight Ox Crossbows were more than his own, and there were so many more.
hateful.
How abominable!
Leader Song couldn't help but gnashed his teeth with hatred when he thought that Tong Guan's Eight Ox Crossbow should have been his, but now it was all taken advantage of by these bastards from Dongping Mansion.
These damn Red Scarf Army, I will definitely destroy you!
Well, Yun Chao really didn't know what name to report to the outside world, so he had to learn from it and declared that his army was called the Red Turban Army.
As for whether it is a red scarf wrapped around the head or a red scarf on the arms, it doesn't matter. What matters is a name.
You can't tell the other party that your army is called the Yun Family Army, as it will be easily exposed.
Both sides have eight-oxen crossbows, so the soldiers can't get too close.
Both sides had a tacit understanding, and each pushed their own eight-niu crossbow to the front.
The Eight Ox Crossbow has a very long range, and its effective range is at least one thousand meters.
The eight-oxen crossbows of both sides were a thousand meters apart and began to shoot at each other.
The soldiers twisted the capstan hard to string the thick guns and arrows.
Then slam the crossbow with a sledgehammer.
The Eight Ox Crossbow made a huge noise, shocking the surrounding area!
Crossbowmen at close range should plug their ears with cloth, otherwise they might deafen their ears!
A giant crossbow with a range of 1,500 meters, how powerful the ejection force is, and the sound of the launch can be so small!
first round……
Whether it was the Onezawa bandits or the Yun family army, all their shots were missed.
Then, both sides began to nervously adjust the height of the Eight Ox Crossbow.
The round of firing just now was just a test of the crossbow. No one planned to achieve success in one shot!
Yun Chao originally wanted to use his knowledge from his previous life to add a pulley or something to the Eight Ox Crossbow to reduce the burden of winding it.
As a result, after researching, I realized that I still underestimated the ancients.
The Eight Ox Crossbow uses a winch, which is similar to the wheel-axle principle that Yun Chao learned in his previous life. There is not much room for improvement.
It’s not that the pulley block doesn’t work, it’s just that it’s too complicated.
There is already a winch, and adding the pulley block will make transportation and operation very troublesome. It is better to use more manpower!
