Lu Su never expected that Jingguo could send fifty heavy crossbows to defeat the city and a hundred armor-piercing crossbows with flower blades. The things were secretly delivered to Lu Su from Anle State, which was controlled by Wu State. Looking at the beautifully crafted behemoth in front of him, Lu Su's eyes were straightened, and the corners of his mouth were about to be split to the base of his ears.
When he was ordered to go to Chang'an to participate in the Jingguo military parade, when he saw the terrifying lethality of the Kecheng heavy crossbow, he was shocked by its power. At that time, he longed to have this heavy thing in his hands.
I only glanced at it from a distance during the military parade, but today I finally saw the real thing.
"Quick! Pull him to the school grounds and open our eyes!" Lu Su patted the thick and hard outer shell of the Kecheng heavy crossbow, his eyes full of anticipation.
With the help of this guy, the deadlock that has been deadlocked for four months will be broken.
It is already November 207 AD, and the severe winter is about to enter. Some of the soldiers and horses in Soochow are from Xuzhou, and some are from the south. The people from Xuzhou are better. The people from the south have thin skin and tender flesh, and they cannot withstand the severe winter. With the severe cold and weakened combat effectiveness, the situation will be unfavorable to Wu.
In the school grounds.
All the curious soldiers of Wu stretched their necks to look at the legendary and powerful Kecheng heavy crossbow, wanting to see the power of this Jingguo heavy weapon.
Lu Su and several generals stood on the makeshift platform.
After Kecheng's heavy crossbow was ready, Lu Su shouted: "Get ready to fire arrows!"
"put--!"
As the messenger waved the flag in his hand.
The entire school grounds fell silent for an instant, with thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the Kecheng Heavy Crossbow.
"Whoosh! Whoosh... Whoosh!"
As the order was given, the terrifying sound of breaking through the air and howling resounded throughout the world, and the incredibly fast arrows were shot out instantly, heading towards the target circle. No one's eyes could keep up with the speed of the arrows. Arrows were shot out from the arrow box of Kecheng's heavy crossbow one after another, leaving behind afterimages.
After a while, all thirty arrows in an arrow box were shot.
Within the target circle, the tail of the giant arrow was still trembling uncontrollably to release the terrifying energy.
The soldiers were so horrified that they could not close their mouths for a long time.
The two eyes widened.
Seeing the terrifying power of Kecheng's heavy crossbow again, Lu Su was shocked again and murmured: "It is indeed a heavy weapon of Jingguo, its killing and wounding are so terrifying!"
The military commander Huang Gai next to him sighed with emotion: "Jingguo... is so strong!"
Lu Su glanced at Huang Gai and said, "No matter how strong we are, we will still be beaten. Send this heavy crossbow to Kyoto as soon as possible and let our craftsmen copy it and mass-produce it. It will be ours in the future."
Huang Gai said awkwardly: "Jingguo doesn't let us have access to these equipment."
Lu Su frowned: "What do you mean?"
Huang Gai said: "We can use these Kecheng heavy crossbows, but they must be used under the supervision of the Jingguo people. Even if they are destroyed, they can only be burned on the spot, and the Kecheng heavy crossbows are not allowed to be sent back to Kyoto unless... "
"Unless what?"
Huang Gai smiled bitterly: "Unless we buy these things, a Kecheng heavy crossbow costs one million silver."
Lu Su's eyes suddenly opened wide, he glared at Huang Gai, and gritted his teeth: "Is Zhang Xiu crazy about money? A Kecheng heavy crossbow costs one million yuan, why doesn't he grab it!"
Huang Gai smiled bitterly, he didn't set the price.
After calming down for a while, Lu Su said: "Okay, then buy one!"
Huang Gai forced his face and said: "I told you, no, if you want to buy one, you need at least ten cars. They won't sell single cars."
Lu Su's blood pressure soared.
At this moment, he had the urge to eat Zhang Xiu alive.
Ten Kecheng heavy crossbows cost ten million taels of silver. How could Wu have so much money to buy this big guy? This Zhang Xiu was really too dark. He couldn't understand how a dignified Emperor Dajing could act like a profiteer. No! More treacherous than a profiteer. First of all, I will bring you the best things, with the name of helping you, so that you can have a craving that you can't eat, and have the urge to want it. If you want it, you have to pay for it, and they don't just sell it.
But I have to say that this thing from Jingguo is really good.
Lu Su calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "Write a letter to the emperor immediately and ask the emperor to make a decision." Then he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Zhang Xiu is really crazy about money! Zhang Bapi!"
Huang Gai: "..."
With the strong assistance of Kecheng heavy crossbows and flower-edged armor-piercing crossbows, the Wu army quickly assumed a war posture and ordered the army to press to the shore of Wenshui River, preparing to forcefully cross Wenshui and start a war with the Wei army.
Xia Houchun was shocked and hurriedly ordered the army to prevent the Wu army from crossing the river.
The Wenshui River is only more than thirty steps wide and its deepest point is only one foot. It is considered a small local river.
The Wu army set up their formation about fifty steps away from the Wenshui River. Fifty steps away from the Wenshui River was a stone's throw from Wenshui River to the base of the formation. The Wei army's arrows could not hit here, so it was a safe distance.
The Wei army also set up their formation at fifty steps.
Xia Houchun stared at the Wu army's positions with some doubts. Most of them were infantry. If the infantry alone wanted to forcefully cross the Wenshui River, some mantises would be like chariots. Even if they charged forward, they would never be a match for the cavalry.
Logically speaking, Wu Jun should choose night attacks or sneak attacks. Why did he choose to attack with such fanfare?
Too unwise.
It seems that Lu Su on the opposite side only has a false reputation!
Xia Houchun sneered and ordered the archers at the front to stand ready.
After setting up the formation, Lu Su waved his sword and ordered: "The front army presses in! The chariot battalion follows up!"
Afterwards, the soldiers in the front row holding shields pressed forward, followed by the archers, and finally the Kecheng heavy crossbow hidden behind the archers. Because the Kecheng heavy crossbow was large and tall, it prevented Xia Houchun from seeing the clues. Wrapped in straw mat.
Of course Xia Houchun on the opposite side saw the big guy being held on a straw mat, and he wanted to see what tricks Wu Jun was playing. So he ordered the archers to prepare, and after Wu Jun entered the water, he decisively ordered to shoot arrows.
Thousands of arrows shot out, covering the sky.
The Wu army also fired thousands of arrows at the Wei army at the same time.
The screams familiar to everyone rang out from both sides, and the river was soon dyed red with blood. The Wu army's front army advanced with shields, and the Kecheng heavy crossbows had arrived at the river. Lu Su did not show his trump card, but waited for the front army. After fighting on the river bank, the Wei cavalry appeared.
The former troops wore heavy armor and were invulnerable to swords and arrows, and quickly rushed to the shore.
The Wu army then followed and fought their way up the river bank.
Xia Houchun waved his hand and ordered the cavalry on the left and right sides to rush out and prepare to harvest the Wu troops who came ashore.
What Lu Su was waiting for was the cavalry.
Seeing the Wei cavalry dispatch, he immediately ordered the chariot camp to lift the straw mats, aim at the cavalry and prepare to shoot.
The movements of Che Barracks immediately attracted Xia Houchun's attention.
When Kecheng's heavy crossbow appeared, Xia Houchun's expression changed drastically.
The Wei army had fought against the Jing army the most, and they had deeply experienced the lethality brought by the Kecheng heavy crossbow. This was simply bad news for the Wei army. The moment the Kecheng heavy crossbow appeared, everyone in the Wei army panicked.
The charging cavalry could no longer stop.
Wu Jun's infantry squatted down to prevent accidental injuries.
"put!"
Lu Su roared loudly.
The terrifying roar suppressed all sounds on the battlefield. Even the usually turbulent sound of horse hooves was suppressed by the roar of Kecheng's heavy crossbow at this moment.
The huge penetrating power instantly shot down Wei Jun's men and horses.
Coupled with the coordinated shooting of the flower-edged armor-piercing crossbows, the Wei army's cavalry was shot to the point of losing morale in an instant.
"The whole army obeys the order! Attack!"
After a round of shooting, the Wei army was shot into disarray and its morale collapsed. Lu Su seized the opportunity and ordered the army to cover up and kill them.
Xiahou Chun knew that he was outmatched and ordered his army to retreat.
