Ballistae, an ancient weapon of mass destruction!
It was many times larger than normal crossbows and was usually mounted on a two-wheeled cart. Only a few strong men could load it, and only Great Qin's elite soldiers had it.
Meng Tian had brought quite a number of warhorses and ballistae with her this time!
However, the journey had been arduous, and the warhorses had long since been slaughtered as rations. He had wanted to throw away these ballistae several times, but after much thought, he had left them behind and ordered his men to take good care of them!
Along the way, Meng Tian encountered many strong enemies. Fortunately, she had these ballistae to repel them. They were terrifying beasts with a range of 700 steps. Not only could they shoot out hundreds of meters, which was several times the range of ordinary bows and arrows, but they could also penetrate thick mud walls and city walls!
Facing the Macedonians, Meng Tian, who had been through countless battles, had countless ways to destroy them. For example, using heavy cavalry, catapults, fire attacks, javelins, and even shields to form a battle formation.
However, Meng Tian had nothing at the moment. She only had a few dozen ballistae, so he could only use ballistae to fight his enemies!
The enemy was approaching!
The ballistae were lined up in a mighty formation, each ballista's bowstring tightly drawn, each bolt as thick as a baby's arm nocked!
A ballista could only hold ten bolts at most!
Forty to fifty ballistae meant several hundred ballistae!
The ballistae were so sharp that the Macedonians paled in fright. Although they had never seen ballistae before, even a fool knew that they were giant ballistae!
Ordinary Qin crossbows had easily wiped out their five hundred heavy cavalrymen. Wouldn't these tens of giant crossbows kill them?
For a time, the Macedonian phalanx was in chaos!
But could they escape? No, the commander had ordered the attack, so the infantrymen had to brace themselves and move forward. As the flute sound became more and more urgent, everyone's pace was also rapidly approaching!
"Hehe, you want to destroy the Macedonian phalanx with just a few dozen crossbow bolts? Ridiculous!”
"Can't you see that he has a shield? Great Qin's people were really reckless!”
"They're close; the Macedonians are already close. Once they get close, Great Qin's people will be doomed!”
The Japanese and Korean spectators cried out in excitement, wanting to witness Great Qin's end!
But the next moment, everyone was so scared that their scalps went numb. Meng Tian waved her hand, and dozens of ballistae instantly exploded!
"Release!"
Bang bang bang!
The terrifying sound of bowstrings rang out, and hundreds of crossbow bolts shot out like the fangs of the Grim Reaper, instantly piercing into the enemy's formation.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Screams of agony could be heard as the Macedonians suffered heavy casualties on the spot. As infantry that moved slowly, the Macedonians were like targets for arrows, especially when they formed a dense phalanx.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
The terrifying arrows shot into the crowd, and the Macedonians were thrown off their feet. The spears and shields were completely unable to withstand the impact of the arrows. The terrifying arrows easily pierced through the small round shields and into the flesh!
This wasn't enough!
The terrifying power of the ballistae was not so simple!
The ballistae's strength was truly terrifying. After hitting a person, they would immediately send the person, who weighed over a hundred jin, flying backwards. Only after piercing through three or four people would they come to a complete stop!
Four to five hundred crossbow bolts lined up in a row and shot into the crowd like a stick of candied haws. At least one to two thousand people were pierced by the crossbow bolts and died miserably. The scene was chaotic!
"F * ck!"
Whether it was the Chinese audience or the Japanese and Korean audience, all of them were so scared that their scalps went numb!
"F * ck, f * ck, is this still human? This is simply a skewer!"
"Heavens, this is Great Qin's true foundation! What a terrifying weapon! Great Qin's soldiers haven't even used it yet!”
"Hehe, the Macedonians that were said to be invincible in West Asia and Europe were actually weak. It's a pity that we didn't encounter Great Qin's people, or else it wouldn't have been Alexander's turn to destroy Persia!”
"Terrifying, simply too terrifying. The most terrifying army of this era belongs to Great Qin. What about Persia, Macedon, and Rome?”
The audience was in a state of shock!
At this moment, even the Japanese and Korean audience were in awe of this scene!
"Release!"
Bang bang bang!
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
Wave after wave of arrows began to shoot wildly. The Macedonian phalanx had only experienced three rounds of arrow rain before it was crushed into pieces. Thousands of people died, some were injured, some were injured, and some fell to the ground, howling and rolling around. Those who did not die were all terrified!
The Macedonians had already wet their pants!
"Wuwuwu!"
The Macedonians were so frightened that they blew the retreat horn, and many Macedonians desperately retreated. Their Cavalrymen also turned their horses around and desperately fled, not daring to fight Great Qin head-on. They probably wanted to return to the city walls and defend to the death.
Amidst a series of cursing and wailing, the enemy retreated in a sorry state, leaving behind corpses and injured people on the ground. He quickly retreated a few hundred steps and was still retreating!
"Defeated? These Macedonians really weren't strong enough!”
"Hahaha, Great Qin is mighty, Meng Tian is mighty!”
"I haven't even used my strength yet, and you've already fallen. The Macedonians are really vulnerable!”The audience cheered excitedly, and Meng Tian slowly retreated with her people.
This epoch-making battle had come to an end just like that!
Great Qin's army had not suffered any casualties, but they had wiped out thousands of Macedonians. This battle power was simply terrifying!
"Great Qin's people are so terrifying!"
"This is the true king of infantry, Baka!”The Japanese and Korean audience exclaimed.
