"Wuwuwu ~"
A melodious horn sounded in the sky above the entire Starting City.
In the Initial City, Mu Guiying was overseeing the main city. She listened to the direction of the horn with a solemn expression.
"You just arrived and you can't wait? Or do you want to test our depth?”
Mu Guiying lowered her head and thought seriously.
Geng Jinhua, Chai Xichun, and Du Jine were in charge of the three Southern Protectorates.
Each city had 50,000 soldiers.
30% of them were connected, which meant that there were 150,000 soldiers.
The Ming army was in the south. Mu Guiying was pretty sure that there were 200,000 of them.
150,000 against 200,000, and it was even a defensive battle. Mu Guiying didn't think that she would be at a disadvantage.
However, he still had to make the necessary preparations. The overall layout of the Initial City was 50,000 people per city.
A total of 400,000 people.
There were 200,000 people in the main city, and they were under Mu Guiying's command.
Support the various citadels at any time.
Therefore, Mu Guiying immediately instructed her personal guards,
"Immediately send someone to pay close attention to the situation in the various citadels. Report to me immediately if there are any problems!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
At the same time.
Blue Jade blew the horn.
Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers wearing battle armor and holding thick iron shields lined up in neat formations and slowly advanced toward the Initial City.
At the same time, in front of the tens of thousands of armored soldiers, more than a hundred light hearse carriages were slowly approaching the Initial City.
For this expedition, Lan Yu was very well prepared. All kinds of siege weapons were prepared.
Last time, Blue Jade had no choice but to retreat because the Initial City had used the crossbow formation.
Therefore, he had specially brought hundreds of light hearse carriages this time.
This hearse was specially designed to deal with crossbow formations. It was a four-wheeled bottomless wooden cart covered with cowhide and solid wood. It could withstand fire attacks and arrows from the city walls. When people pushed the cart forward, they could protect the soldiers from approaching the city walls to attack.
And Blue Jade's attack was actually also probing.
He wanted to see what other methods could stop them from attacking the city other than the crossbow formation.
At this moment, Geng Jinhua, Chai Xichun, and Du Jine were standing on top of the three citadels.
Looking at the hundreds of Ming army's light chariots below the city, Geng Jinhua's lips curled into a cold smile.
"It seems that the Ming army is well prepared. However, can these light chariots block our crossbow formation?”
Geng Jinhua had seen it before, modifying the power of the Yuanrong Crossbow.
Perhaps ordinary bolts wouldn't be able to do much damage to the carriage.
However, Iron Arrow was different.
"Everyone, change to iron arrow quivers!"
Under Geng Jinhua's orders, the soldiers on the city walls removed the ordinary arrow boxes from the Yuanrong Crossbows and replaced them with arrow boxes filled with iron arrows.
Since Geng Jinhua could do this, Chai Xichun and Du Jine, who were on the other two citadels, naturally thought of it as well.
Three citadels, 150,000 troops, all moving out at the same time.
In just a few moments, all of them had changed.
"Everyone, raise your crossbows, aim, and wait for orders!”
The three female generals were commanding from their respective city walls.
150,000 crossbow bolts were already aimed at the Ming army below. They could be fired with just a command.
At this moment, Blue Jade's eyelids were twitching.
He was still jumping with eyes.
He felt that something bad might happen next.
Thus, he ordered tens of thousands of armored soldiers to stop at a place less than four hundred meters away from the Initial City.
The last time, the crossbow formation shot at a distance of 300 meters.
Thus, Lan Yu felt that stopping at this 400 meter position shouldn't be a problem.
The hundred or so light hearse didn't stop and continued to move forward.
In these hundred over light carriage, Lan Yu had people prepare gunpowder.
As long as they could reach the city safely, the people in the carriage could immediately blow up the gates of the three Wei cities.
As long as he succeeded, these three citadels would be destroyed in an instant!
More than a hundred light carts slowly advanced.
Blue Jade had people keep a close eye on the gates of the three citadels, and arranged five thousand elite armored cavalry to be ready at any time.
To prevent people from the city from suddenly coming out of the city to destroy the car.
350 meters…
Three hundred meters…
Blue Jade's expression instantly tensed up. The other party's crossbow formation had been fired at around 300 meters the last time.
However…
However, there was not the slightest movement from the three citadels.
Lan Yu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the generals on the citadel also knew that the crossbow formation had no effect on these light hearse chariots.
From the looks of it, the other party wanted to send troops to destroy this carriage.
Lan Yu immediately ordered the 5,000 cavalrymen to move forward. The distance between the cavalrymen and the light carriage was no more than 500 meters.
250 meters…
There was still no movement from the three citadels.
Two hundred meters…
There was still no movement.
Lan Yu frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, the other party should have opened the city gates and led the army out of the city!
However, there was still no movement from these three citadels.
What did the other party want to do?
Lan Yu was very puzzled.
He didn't think that it was a good thing for the other party to stay put.
The hearse continued forward.
180 meters…
150 meters…
130 meters…
It only took them a hundred meters to reach the city.
At this moment.
On the three citadels, the three female generals shouted at the same time,"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
She shouted three times.
On the three citadels, arrows instantly rained down.
150,000 arrows rained down like a storm.
And then…
There was nothing else.
Hundreds of light hearse carriages stopped the moment the arrows rained down.
Then, it exploded in an instant. The thick cowhide and the solid wooden board that was more than ten inches thick were easily penetrated by the iron arrow like paper.
The terrifying bolts not only pierced through the leather and wooden planks, but also directly pierced through the hearts of the Ming soldiers under the light carriage.
Thousands of Ming soldiers were pierced by the ten thousand crossbows before they could even scream. They were turned into thousands of piles of flesh and blood.
With just one round of shooting, more than a hundred light hearse carriages were destroyed, and more than a thousand armored Ming soldiers were killed.
Only the densely packed iron arrows below the city were still trembling.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this scene, Blue Jade sucked in a breath of cold air.
The enemy's crossbow formation was actually so powerful?
Even the light hearse could be shot through or even destroyed.
Even soldiers wearing thick armor could be shot through.
What kind of crossbow formation was this, and what kind of crossbow machine was the enemy using?
Wasn't this too terrifying?
Lan Yu had fought all her life and had never seen such a terrifying crossbow.
Not only Lan Yu, but the nearly two hundred thousand Jing soldiers behind him had seen the scene at the foot of the city.
Everyone was stunned by the power of the crossbow formation.
The shieldbearer holding the iron shield at the front shivered.
He subconsciously shrank his body into the iron shield.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Could they really take down this city?
Everyone could not help but have this thought.
