……

The Tartars refused to fight and just kept shooting arrows. You can't even reach me!

Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to shoot arrows at the patrols and sentries from the periphery. It wasn't that he didn't want to rush in, but he was worried that if the Tartars were scattered, how could he catch them? What was the point of wasting so much time?

It was to take away the vitality of the Tartars!

"Your Highness has collected more than ten thousand arrows!”The guards that Zhu Zhanji had sent to retrieve the arrows came back to report.

"Give 25 arrows to each of you first, then go to the west to call for reinforcements. Leave a few people to retrieve the arrows shot by the Tartars!”

Zhu Zhanji led his guards and surrounded the Tartar camp. They kept shooting arrows and ambushing the Tartars. The Tartars were so nervous that they didn't dare to close their eyes and sleep.

Over two hundred people were killed in the east…

Killing more than 500 Tartars in the south…

Killing more than 300 Tartars in the west…

Killing over two hundred Tartars in the north…

Zhu Zhanji led the troops in the front and kept shooting arrows. There were people behind him who were responsible for collecting the arrows shot by the Tartars and handing them to Zhu Zhanji and the others before continuing to shoot the arrows into the Tartars 'camp...

In one round, he killed more than a thousand Tata patrols and sentries!

……

"Damn it, are the arms of the Ming army made of iron? They've already drawn their bows a few times. Aren't they afraid that their arms will be crippled?”

"How did their arrows shoot so far? Our bows and arrows can't reach them at all…"

"A bunch of lunatics. They don't need to rest, and their warhorses don't either?”

Ben Yashili resisted the urge to lead his troops into battle and cursed loudly on the bed.

"Take out all the barricades and move fifty steps forward. The patrols and guards on duty retreat eighty steps…"

"Go and take out the 'Eight Bull Crossbows' that we seized and shoot the leader of the Ming army to death! Shot to death! Shoot him to death…"

The Eight Bull Crossbow was also known as the Three Bow Crossbow."The old crossbow was only able to shoot seven hundred paces, but I ordered Pi to increase it to a thousand paces.”

In the Song Dynasty, one step was 1.536 meters, and 1,000 steps was 1536 meters. This was one of the highest shooting range records of ancient long-range weapons.

The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty could last 45 years under the repeated attacks of the Mongolian cavalrymen was because of their advanced weapons and equipment.

Perhaps everyone didn't have much of an idea. Using the Mauser 98K sniper rifle, which had been introduced in 1935, as a comparison, the 98K could ensure that it could hit the target's head at a distance of 300 meters and hit the target's chest at a distance of 600 meters. The effective range was 800 meters, and the maximum range was 1500 meters.

In other words, the shooting range of the eight-bull crossbow invented in the Song Dynasty was basically the same as that of the 98K, which was introduced in 1935, and its power was much greater than that of the 98K. After all, the eight-bull crossbow did not fire 7.62mm bullets, but a " javelin ".

Even in the later generations, modern people were still unable to restore the eight-bull crossbow!

Benyashili's Eight Bull Crossbow was seized from Qiu Fu's army and he had always treasured it and was unwilling to use it. Now that he was using it to deal with Zhu Zhanji, it could be seen how angry Benyashili was!

……

Zhu Zhanji looked suspiciously at the Tartars who had taken out the barricades and placed them outside the camp. The sentries and patrols had all retreated.

"What do you mean? Are you determined to be a turtle?"

"Change all of them to fire arrows and set the Tartar camp on fire!”Zhu Zhanji ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

Swoosh swoosh…

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…"

……

"Someone, come and put out the fire…"

"The Ming army set fire…"

……

Just as the guards were happily releasing the fire arrows, Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt his heart palpitate, and the hair on his back stood up. Nearly 200 guards with Danger Perception talent also stopped what they were doing at the same time...

"Bang ~ Sou!"

"Bang ~ Sou!"

"Bang ~ Sou!"

Three loud collisions sounded in the Tartar camp!

"It's the Eight Bull Crossbow!" Qi Wei cried out in alarm when he heard the sound. When firing an eight-bull crossbow, one needed to use a hammer to smash the mechanism, making a loud sound.

" Your Highness, be careful…" Before Qi Wei could finish his sentence, three streaks of black light came straight at Zhu Zhanji with a sharp whistle.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Wei swung his Yuan Shuo Saber and knocked away a spear sized crossbow bolt. Half of his body was shaken numb and he fell off the horse.

Ever since Zhu Zhanji sensed danger, he had been fully focused on the front. When he saw the black light in front of him, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed it. Squeak…

The force was so strong. Zhu Zhanji clenched his teeth and grabbed the two crossbow bolts in his hands. After two breaths, he finally released the force on the crossbow bolts...

Zhu Zhanji threw the crossbow in his hand to the side and kept breathing cold air into his hand.

"F * ck, I'm getting blisters…Sh * t ~ Hah ~ It hurts, it hurts ~"

When everyone saw that Zhu Zhanji was fine, they were relieved and praised,"Your Highness is really amazing. You can even hold a crossbow bolt in your hand!”

"The Tartars are going to be disappointed again."

……

"Qi Wei, are you alright?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Qi Wei paused for a moment and said," It's alright, Your Highness. My arm is a little numb. I'll be fine after shaking it a few times!"”

"Your Highness, we can't leave that Eight Bullcrossbow behind!”

" It's very troublesome to load the eight-bull crossbow. It won't be done in a short time…"

" Charge in and destroy the crossbow machine. We'll teach the Tartars a lesson..."

"Kill your way in, Your Highness!"

The generals requested to fight again. They had been so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. They were a little used to having a smooth journey. They were suddenly attacked and almost hit the commander. This revenge had to be taken immediately. Otherwise, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in their hearts!

Zhu Zhanji was also burning with anger. If a spear, such a big crossbow arrow, were to hit his body, he would not be able to survive even if he had several lives.

"Kill, charge in and destroy the Eight Bullcrossbow first. Kill your way through the Tartar camp.”

"Understood!"
