Chapter 1231

"Hahaha, too interesting!"

"Looking at their expressions of wanting to cry but having no tears, I can't help but want to laugh."

"Not to mention, it is indeed very interesting!"

"Just pushing a few broken carts and wanting to siege the city, truly a joke!"

The soldiers on the Great Wall discussed loudly one after another.

The arrows also stopped.

The Xiongnu people could not get in.

The Xiongnu soldiers around the catapults also drew their bows and shot arrows.

They wanted to shoot the Qin people on the Great Wall down.

But they were too naive.

The bows and arrows they pulled with their arms could not even reach two hundred meters before falling powerlessly.

At first, the soldiers on the Great Wall were a bit nervous.

After all, there were not a few arrows; if they all shot over, wanting to hide from all of them was also a difficult matter.

But the range of the Xiongnu people's arrows almost made the Great Qin soldiers laugh until they sprayed.

Bows and arrows that could not even reach two hundred meters, bringing them here was truly embarrassing.

Compared to Great Qin's arrows, the Xiongnu people's arrows were not even worth being called trash.

Great Qin's arrows, besides the super divine crossbows, also had three powerful crossbows.

The bed crossbow was one of them, and there were also single-person crossbows.

Single-person crossbows were divided into foot-pedal and arm-pulled types: the foot-pedal crossbow used the foot to step on the bow body.

Pulling with arms and waist, using the strength of the whole body to string it, so the firing speed of the crossbow was far inferior to the bow.

But the arrowheads fired by the foot-pedal crossbow had great power, and the flight speed was several times that of the bow.

The arrowheads fired pierced the air, the bowstring rebounded and rubbed violently against the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

This was one of the sources of the Qin army shouting "Great Wind, Great Wind" before the battle.

Besides single-person crossbows, Great Qin also had large-scale repeating crossbows; this kind of crossbow used a mechanical structure to fire.

It could fire dozens of arrowheads as thick as spear shafts at once, and the lethality was very astonishing!

The Qin army was able to defeat the six states; besides the army being able to fight well, the Qin army's strong bows and fast arrows were also a key technical support.

After Great Qin was established, the Xiongnu invaded the border, and Qin Shi Huang sent General Meng Tian Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north.

Among them were at least 100,000 crossbowmen; General Meng Tian Tian used large shields as outer defense, and inside the shields were dozens of rows of crossbowmen.

Behind them were infantry phalanxes, and on the left and right sides were cavalry.

The Xiongnu's 200,000 flying cavalry invaded and were shot into chaos by the Qin army's arrow formation, and then the Qin army's cavalry attacked from both wings.

The infantry attacked from the front, and the crossbowmen retreated behind the infantry to suppress the Xiongnu cavalry's bows and arrows with crossbow arrows.

In this battle, the Xiongnu lost more than 100,000, retreated more than seven hundred li, and completely lost the Hetao Plain!

They were beaten so that the Xiongnu people did not dare to invade again!

Afterward, they could only come to harass Great Qin's border on a small scale.

These foot-pedal crossbows and foot-stepping bow bodies contributed significantly.

Great Qin's crossbows were unique in the world!

It was just that now the Xiongnu Chanyu had changed people, and he had subdued the Donghu and the Dayuezhi.

Making the Xiongnu's strength soar, so they dared to invade Great Qin again.

But their weapons were too backward.

They could not even break the Great Wall; what was the use of having many people.

The Xiongnu army was timid; they could not even get close, so how could they fight?

At this time—

The commander of the Xiongnu army commanded a siege engine.

And rushed toward the only portal of the Great Wall.

And the surrounding Xiongnu soldiers raised their shields to defend; it looked like they wanted to force their way in.

Or it could be said that they wanted to test whether that portal was sturdy.

General Meng Tian Tian originally did not want to attack again, wanting the Xiongnu soldiers to retreat themselves.

After all, it was not the time yet, and there was no need to waste arrows.

But who knew the Xiongnu people would not give up and still want to attack the only portal of the Great Wall.

This angered General Meng Tian Tian.

They had just scrapped a few catapults, and the siege engines came to join the fun.

"Bed crossbows, aim at the siege engine coming forward!"

"Shoot it down for me!"

As soon as General Meng Tian Tian's voice fell.

There were bed crossbows aimed at the siege engine below.

A super arrow as thick as an arm, like a spear shaft, whistled out from the bed crossbow.

It shot out toward the siege engine like lightning.

The spear-shaft arrow as thick as an arm also had a thick hemp rope tied behind it.

Bang!

A muffled sound came out.

The spear shaft as thick as an arm pierced through the shield.

Even two Xiongnu people were pierced through by the spear shaft.

Those two people were heavily nailed to the siege engine!

The whole person was hung directly on the siege engine, their feet not touching the ground.

The wooden boards on the siege engine were all pierced through!

The two Xiongnu soldiers who were pierced through only let out a scream and then had no sound.

One could see how terrifying the power of this bed crossbow was!

The effective range of this bed crossbow was about two hundred zhang.

Now, at close range, the power could be seen to be terrifying.

Terrifying to this extent!

The surrounding Xiongnu people were stunned.

They stared blankly at all this.

They simply could not believe their eyes.

This arrow as thick as an arm was too terrifying!

This made them somewhat unable to accept such a fact.

For a time, the large battlefield became quiet.

One could hear a pin drop!
