Compared to Blue Jade's confidence, at this moment, Zhu Xiong, who was standing on the city wall, was speechless at Blue Jade's direct attack on the city.
"He brought a hundred thousand soldiers to attack the city without any siege weapons. Is Blue Jade that confident? Then should I give him a serious slap?”
Zhu Xiong muttered to himself as he watched the 100,000 Ming soldiers approach.
Beside Zhu Rong, Qin Liangyu and Qi Jiguang both looked coldly at the hundred thousand strong army that was gradually approaching Starting City.
"Your Highness, should we give them a warning first or shoot them directly?”
The one who spoke was Qi Jiguang.
With Qi Jiguang's eyesight, he knew that in at most a cup of tea's time, the 100,000 troops below would enter and modify the Yuanrong Crossbow's attack range.
Zhu Xiong thought for a moment and said,"
"It's better to give them a warning first. If they dare to continue attacking, then there's nothing to worry about.”
Qi Jiguang said respectfully,"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, Qi Jiguang didn't say anything and directly waved his hand, shouting,"
"Target 150 steps, 50 consecutive shots! Shoot!"
On the initial city wall, 100,000 soldiers holding modified Yuanrong crossbows faced the sky at a 45-degree angle under the command of the flag. They all aimed in the direction of the Ming army's advance.
The moment the flag officer on the city wall waved the flag down!
100,000 crossbow bolts were fired at the same time!
Weng!
In the sky, it was as if layers of black clouds had appeared in an instant.
With a whistling sound, it pounced in the direction of the Ming army as if it covered the sky.
This scene was immediately seen by Blue Jade, who had been paying attention to the Initial City.
His originally calm eyes instantly turned into incomparable shock, and there was even a trace of fear in the shock!
It wasn't just Lan Yu. Song Sheng, who was beside him, also had the same expression.
Song Sheng even exclaimed,
"Crossbow formation! Stop! Stop moving forward! Forward defense!"
Song Sheng hurriedly ordered.
Actually, at this moment, Song Sheng didn't even need to give the order.
The shieldbearers at the front had already stopped.
Looking at the black clouds that were coming down on them, all the shieldbearers instinctively raised their shields and formed a shield wall.
But even so, they could not hide the fear in their eyes.
They were all elites of Great Ming who were experienced in battle.
How could he not know what the black clouds in the sky represented?
It was because they knew that they were terrified.
Because there was more than one layer of black clouds in the sky!
Instead, there were layers after layers, and it was unknown how many layers there were.
Under such a dense and continuous rain of arrows.
Even if they formed a shield wall, they didn't feel safe at all.
As Da Ming's elite veterans, they were very clear that under such a dense and continuous rain of arrows, they would be able to escape.
As long as one part of their shield wall was broken, everyone on that side would face a calamity.
At this moment, they could only try their best to remain calm. They raised their shields high and pressed them against each other, not allowing any gaps to be exposed.
They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. If they breathed too heavily around them, unpredictable cracks would appear on the shield wall.
Everyone held their breaths, waiting for the storm of arrows to descend.
Weng weng!
A loud buzzing sound rang out.
He was here!
All the shieldbearers were sweating as they waited for the judgment of fate.
Under such a dense rain of arrows, no one could guarantee that they would survive the next second.
All they could do was hope that the heavens would bless them.
However, the sound of arrows hitting the shield wall didn't appear.
They could only feel the ground shaking weakly.
Puff! Puff!
It sounded like an arrow being shot into the ground.
Even so, no one dared to put down their shields and look at what had happened.
Because the buzzing sound above their heads had never stopped.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn.
The sound above his head disappeared, and the shaking of the ground stopped.
At this moment, a bold shieldbearer opened a small gap and looked out through it.
With just a glance, the shieldbearer was so frightened that his limbs turned cold and his scalp went numb.
Because, through the gap in the shield wall, he saw a place less than 50 meters away from them.
A dense number of arrows pierced the ground.
It formed a black line that was 20 meters wide and nearly 1,000 meters long.
The black line formed by the bolts was made up of at least millions of bolts.
The density of their attacks would definitely make one's scalp tingle.
"Hiss!"
Lan Yu and Song Sheng, who witnessed the formation of the black line, gasped in unison.
Their eyes were filled with extreme shock.
In fact, Lan Yu's eyes even carried a thick lingering fear.
Blue Jade, who was full of confidence previously, had already fallen into silence at this moment.
This wave of attacks from the Initial City had undoubtedly slapped his old face until it was swollen.
Although it did not cause any actual harm to the Ming army.
However, the intention to intimidate the Ming army was already extremely obvious.
Lan Yu did not fly into a rage out of humiliation. After a long silence, she said,
"Crossbow formation, or continuous crossbow formation? Song Sheng, did you calculate just now how many times they fired?”
Song Sheng let out a long breath and said,"
"I don't remember. My mind was a little chaotic just now, so I didn't pay attention.”
Lan Yu said with a heavy tone,"
" Fifty times, a total of fifty times!"
Song Sheng sucked in a breath of cold air again and cried out involuntarily,
"Fifty times? Heavens! How is that possible?"
Lan Yu said with certainty,
"It can't be wrong. I saw the whole process clearly. They have a crossbow that can shoot fifty times!”
"Moreover, be it in terms of shooting range or penetrating power, they are extremely terrifying!”
"Just now, our frontline troops have definitely entered their shooting range.”
"This wave of attacks is a warning and a deterrent. If we continue, the next wave of attacks will really land on the front line.”
Song Sheng looked deeply at the Starting City and said,
"Great General, it seems that we have underestimated them too much. However, they should not want to become enemies with our Great Ming.”
"Otherwise, just that wave of attack just now would have been enough to wipe out tens of thousands of our soldiers.”
"Since the other party did not cause any casualties to us and only intimidated us, Great General, we should also choose to retreat.”
"Looking at their attitude, perhaps the emissary of the Imperial Court will be able to convince them to submit to Great Ming.”
Lan Yu did not deny it.
"Indeed, with the shield formation of our frontline army, we can't block their crossbow formation at all.”
"However, Song Sheng, even if they don't want to be enemies with us for the time being, you've already seen how terrifying they are.”
"If they're willing to join our Great Ming, that's naturally a great thing.”
"But what if they are unwilling? Or is it because he can't reach an agreement with the Imperial Court?"
"You know their conditions. Do you think His Majesty will agree to their conditions?”
"If Your Majesty doesn't agree."
"Then their threat to Great Ming in the future will be much more terrifying than the Mongolians. They will definitely be Great Ming's strong opponents!”
Song Sheng also agreed with Lan Yu's words.
"Yes, if I have such an enemy by my side, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep well.”
Lan Yu continued,
"Therefore, Song Sheng, they will be the focus of your Northwest Border Army in the future.”
"I will also report what happened here to His Majesty.”
"If they are willing to submit, then everything will be fine.”
"I will report to His Majesty to eradicate this place at all costs.”
"Otherwise, when they develop and grow in the future, they will definitely be a huge problem for my Great Ming!”
Song Sheng nodded gently and said,"
"I know! I will follow your orders!"
Only then did Lan Yu nod. After taking a deep look at the Initial City, she said,
"Retreat! This time, we have lost all our face.”
"Yes, sir!"
