Chapter 1228

Visually, the Xiongnu army that came forward this time was at least five hundred thousand!

This was a terrifying quantity.

Many Xiongnu people also held shields in their hands to protect the war carts.

It looked like they wanted to use them to resist Great Qin's crossbows.

It was just that he did not know if those shields could resist Great Qin's crossbows.

If they wanted to resist ordinary crossbows, it should be no problem.

But if they wanted to resist the super divine crossbows and the foot-pedal crossbows, that was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Wanting to resist these crossbows was an impossible thing.

"General, what should we do next?"

"We don't have that many arrows for our super divine crossbows either."

"There are not a few ordinary arrows, but there are too many people on the other side."

Someone asked; with so many Xiongnu armies approaching, the feeling of oppression also followed.

Meng Tian looked at the slowly advancing war carts, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Let the people below the city pay attention to the catapults at any time."

"Don't get hurt by the stones thrown by the catapults."

"The target of the archers is those catapults and siege engines."

"Wait for my command to release the arrows!"

"Understood!"

The messenger soldier quickly relayed Meng Tian's command and left.

The Xiongnu people pushed the war carts and came slowly.

All the way, they held their shields high.

Because they knew that the Qin people's crossbows had a very long range.

Therefore, they did not dare to have the slightest carelessness.

The shields protected them tightly.

Therefore, their speed also dropped.

This turtle speed made the Great Qin soldiers on the Great Wall feel a bit anxious for them.

These Xiongnu people were also too vigilant.

After an incense stick of time.

When Meng Tian and the others were watching with impatience,

the Xiongnu people finally stopped.

They stopped when they were about seventy zhang away from the Great Wall.

The soldiers on the Great Wall also let out a sigh of relief.

The Xiongnu army finally stopped.

They almost could not help but release the arrows.

This turtle speed was truly too slow and too torturous.

As early as when they entered the eight-hundred-meter range, they were within range.

It was just that without the General's command, they were not allowed to release arrows.

Now that they saw the people stop, they also ended their inner torment.

As long as the General gave the order, they could release arrows to shoot the Xiongnu dead.

At the very least, they could destroy those siege engines and catapults.

One must know that they had large-scale weapons like bed crossbows.

There was also the super long range and unparalleled sharpness of the super divine crossbows.

Just these two things could deal with these war carts.

It was just fifteen war carts.

The Xiongnu people began to load stones into the catapults.

And Meng Tian also slowly raised his hand.

As long as he waved his hand, countless arrows would shoot toward those catapults.

Meng Tian just wanted to wave his hand to release the arrows.

Releasing the arrows before the catapults threw the stones meant no stones would fly over.

But it was also at this time.

Click click...

A muffled sound of "padah" came out.

Meng Tian was stunned, even forgetting to wave his hand.

He just stood there with his hand raised.

Immediately after—

"Hahaha~~~~!"

Meng Tian could not help but laugh out loud.

And the rest of the soldiers were stunned.

Afterward, they also laughed one after another.

Some soldiers even held their stomachs and laughed.

Just because this scene before them was too funny.

Because this click-click sound came from the Xiongnu's catapults.

One could see that the catapults the Xiongnu had worked so hard to push up had actually broken.

Because they put a big stone on it, it crushed the catapult.

"Ahahaha, too interesting!"

"Just because of a stone, it actually crushed it."

"It actually broke; it's truly funny!"

"This is also no wonder; these haven't been used for more than two years."

"Those ox tendons likely rotted, hahaha~~~!"

"I saw it just now; when the stone pressed down, that ox tendon snapped."

"Therefore, the whole catapult broke; it really made me laugh until my stomach hurts."

The soldiers on the Great Wall had no choice but to put down their arrows, laughing until their bodies bent.

This was not their fault; it was just that these Xiongnu people were too funny.

The originally heavy atmosphere was also swept away.

The most dumbfounded were the Xiongnu people standing on the catapults.

This breakage almost scared them to death.

They thought it was their own improper operation that caused the catapult to break.

If that were really the case, they likely would not die now, but would be beaten to death by the Chanyu later.

But now it was a state of preparation for war, so they had no choice.

Fortunately, only one catapult broke.

There were still nine left.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

But now the situation was urgent.

They had no choice but to continue putting big stones into the other catapults.

This time they were much more careful.

Fearing that they would crush the other catapults and break them.

But—

Accidents still appeared.

Padah...!

Padah...!
