Hearing this, Meng Tian frowned. She did not want to oppose Li Xin's military order, but she had a feeling that it was not a good idea to do so.
However, these people from Ten Thousand Year City dared to be so arrogant in front of Great Qin's Cavalry, challenging Great Qin's prestige and looking down on Great Qin.
It had to be said that Great Qin had destroyed all of the other six countries, and they had even defeated the Xiongnu and the Wu Kingdom. It was impossible for the people of Ten Thousand Year City not to know about this, so how could they still be so bold? What right did they have?
Meng Tian felt that she could not fight a battle without preparation. At the very least, she had to see what the enemy's trump card was. Otherwise, it would be too careless to start attacking the city.
However, the Great General who was going to attack this time was Li Xin. Since Li Xin said that he wanted to attack the city, he could only do as Li Xin said.
Dong dong!
Earth-shattering war drums sounded out as Great Qin's 100,000 elite soldiers quickly got into formation.
Li Xin and the others did not bring anything to attack the city because they were going to the grasslands. Could they expect the Xiongnu to have a city and defend it?
However, Li Xin's subordinates didn't lack Qin crossbows for riding and archery.
This was also the trump card of the Qin army when they fought against the Six Nations and the Xiongnu.
In this era where technology was not so advanced, this Qin crossbow was like a gun. Moreover, this Qin crossbow was different from ordinary bows and arrows. It could only be loaded with the strength of the whole body. The tension was about 180 pounds, and the explosive force was also the strongest in this era.
Moreover, the Qin crossbow was designed with an extremely delicate trigger. It could be operated by a mechanism, making it very easy to release the arrow. Moreover, the crossbow itself would not shake, which greatly enhanced the stability of the crossbow's shooting. Moreover, the Qin crossbow was also equipped with a sighting device-Mountain Gaze.
When aiming at a distant target, the shooter could also refer to Wangshan's estimations and aim at the angle. The arrow could accurately hit the enemy by shooting in a parabola.
It had explosive power, trigger skills, and a scope to increase its accuracy. Moreover, the Qin Crossbow's arrowhead was different from the arrowheads of the other Six Nations. The Qin Crossbow's arrowhead was a typical triangular arrowhead.
It didn't seem to have that much killing intent and might, but when the three sharp edges hit the target, they could instantly form a powerful penetrating force that could even pierce through leather armor.
Moreover, the three sides of the Qin crossbow were exactly the same. The shape of the Qin crossbow's arrowhead was similar to the shape of the bullets of the later generation. It also had some modern aeromechanics in it. It was the most accurate weapon in the world today. In long-range warfare, the Qin crossbow was used to severely injure the enemy's main force.
Furthermore, the main weapons of the Qin army this time were crossbow bolts, Qin swords, and spears.
Most of the Qin swords were made of bronze, and they were made of the best cash from that time. When they were forged, they were also added with alloys. The Qin swords were the best in terms of toughness, hardness, strength, and other aspects.
The Qin Arrows were famous throughout the world, and they were Great Qin's trump card army. Before every battle, the Qin army would shoot arrows to spy on the enemy's situation. There were two types of Qin Arrows, and Li Xin's current one had a range of 150 meters, which was quite powerful.
These Qin crossbows were the best choice to deal with the Xiongnu on the grasslands, and they were also the most troublesome things for the Xiongnu.
It was because of these Qin crossbows that Li Xin had the courage to lead a 100,000-strong army to attack Wannian City without any siege weapons.
Li Xin felt that these Qin crossbows could completely suppress the guards upstairs.
Then, he let the infantrymen set up ladders and climb up the city tower under the cover of archers. Using this method, Li Xin had repeatedly succeeded in the war to destroy the six countries.
The shieldbearers were in front, holding large shields, forming a shield wall. The archers were holding their own Qin crossbows, cooperating with the shieldbearers.
Then, the infantrymen holding the scaling ladders followed behind, ready to mount the scaling ladders at any time.
Everything in the Qin army was going according to plan, and the people who came out this time were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Moreover, Li Xin was also very confident.
He felt that if nothing happened, he would naturally take down the city in front of him.
…………
However, compared to Li Xin's pride, Ying Jing, who was standing on the city tower and looking at Li Xin about to attack the city, had a depressed and puzzled expression.
"He wants to take down Ten Thousand Year City with just a hundred thousand soldiers. He doesn't even have the catapults and charging chariots that are necessary for attacking the city. Should I teach him a lesson too?”Ying Jing muttered to himself as he looked at the elite soldiers of Great Qin.
Standing beside Ying Jing were Mu Guiying and Qi Jiguang, both of whom were coldly looking at the 100,000 Qin soldiers approaching Wannian City.
"Your Highness, should we give them a warning first, or should we start killing them immediately?”Qi Jiguang asked.
Relying on Qi Jiguang's keen sense of war, he could also know that these 100,000 people would soon enter the scope of the modified Yuanrong Crossbows.
Ying Jing thought for a moment and said,"Let's set up a trap. But if they still turn a deaf ear and continue to attack, then we don't have to think too much."?”
"Here!" Qi Jiguang said humbly.
Then, Qi Jiguang started to command and ordered loudly,""160 steps, 50 consecutive shots, release the arrows!”
On the city gate tower of Wannian City, 100,000 soldiers holding modified Yuanrong crossbows faced the sky at 45 degrees under the command of the flag. They were all aimed at the Qin army that was approaching them step by step.
The moment the flag was waved, 100,000 crossbow bolts were fired.
Weng!
Black clouds appeared in the sky, and with a whistling sound, they flew towards the Qin army.
This scene was clearly seen by Li Xin who had been paying attention to the movements of Wannian City.
His originally calm gaze suddenly became extremely surprised. This time, there was a hint of fear in his surprise. Not only was he like this, even Meng Tian, who was beside him, was like this.
" Stop!" Meng Tian hurriedly shouted," Archers, stop! Stop!" Shieldbearers, defend!"
However, there was no need for him to give the order. The shieldbearers in front had all stopped. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, all the shieldbearers instinctively raised their shields and connected them together to form a shield wall. Even so, the eyes of the usually invincible Qin army were still filled with fear.
They were all experienced veterans of the Qin Dynasty, so they naturally knew what the black clouds in the sky meant.
It was precisely because they were too clear that they were so afraid.
