Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2210: Eight Bull Crossbows, Defeat Zhao Enemies, and Wash the Ground with Arrows

Although Xing Tian and the other three were more or less dissatisfied, Gao Shun's order had come down. If they were asked to disobey the order on the battlefield, who would dare to do so except Xing Tian?
Do you really think that disobeying orders on the battlefield is just a joke?

You Liang and Tu Xingsun dared to do this, could it be that they really don’t want their heads anymore?
If something like this happens and is not severely punished, won't those reckless men in the army follow suit one after another?
The more powerful the commander is, the less he will tolerate such things! No matter how brave the person who disobeys the order is, he will not show mercy.

If this kind of thing is tolerated, if any problems really break out in the future, they cannot be replaced by just one or two strong generals.

In other words, Xing Tian, ​​with his seniority and his relationship with Li Xiang, could be saved. But if he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he could only be saved at most. No matter how important the relationship was, he would at least be directly exterminated.

Although Gao Shun's official position was higher than You Liang and Tu Xingsun, it was not as high as Xing Tian.

However, Gao Shun was one of the earliest generals after all, and the commander of the first elite camp, the Xianzhen Camp. Even though his official position was not as high as Xingtian's, it was not three levels lower than Xingtian.

As a commander-in-chief, he can command those fierce generals on the battlefield. Although everyone can do what they should do after leaving the battlefield, as long as Xing Tian is not three levels higher than Gao Shun, he still has to obey orders when it is time to obey.

Although Gao Shun's political awareness was slightly lower, he was not completely ignorant. If he did this, he would be blocking the way for the other three people to achieve great success.

However, even if he understands, his personality dictates that sometimes he will not compromise!
Some people, at some times, may do things that may seem stupid to some people, but isn't that part of their charm?

Although the strongest enemy generals had been killed, only a few hundred gold spear points and silver armor points were left. But even if there were only a few hundred gold spear points and silver armor points left, Gao Shun couldn't possibly let Xing Tian and the other three deal with it alone, right?
Do you really think the elite battalion is just there to do nothing?
If these three people dared to do this, and if one or two of them died, Gao Shun would not have any accidents.

Not to mention that even though the eight strongest generals are dead, it does not mean that there are no other generals. Yao Si is no less dangerous than those eight people.

Just now, if it weren't for the guy next to Gao Shun who was trying to delay, the three men would have had a lot more trouble in the process of killing the general.

Therefore, if these three men wanted to charge forward, Gao Shun's trap camp would have to follow them. However, if they wanted to defeat these last few hundred people, hundreds of brothers might have to die.

If it were ordinary soldiers and horses, with the loss of these hundreds of people, even with the three of Xing Tian, ​​there would probably be hundreds of casualties!
Although it is said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers, for some people, the contributions of these brothers who live together day and night are incomparable.

Not every general can sit back and watch his brothers die for their merits. At least, Gao Shun is not such a person.

Therefore, Gao Shun stopped Xing Tian and the other three from charging into the battle line. Instead, he wanted to use the dozen or so crossbows and a large number of strong bows and crossbows to directly cover the remnants of Zhao Kuangyin with firepower and end the battle with the least casualties possible.

Since the war broke out, there have been many casualties on various battlefields. The better it is to lose as many brothers as possible!
After hesitating, Xing Tian and the other three finally withdrew, but they did not give up and were ready to have a good talk with Gao Shun.

But when they retreated back to the army, before they could even speak, Gao Shun directly issued the order to fire all the arrows. There were more than a dozen crossbows, all of which were three-bow crossbows. They were drawn by Li Xiang from the lottery function many years ago. Therefore, the three-bow crossbows that should have appeared in the Song Dynasty were manufactured in advance in this era.

The triple-bow crossbow is also known as the "eight-ox crossbow". Such a crossbow requires more than 30 people to operate. Although there are only a dozen of them, after being arranged in five rows, they actually extend for hundreds of meters.

Of course, this distance of hundreds of meters was just a small problem for their range. "The History of Song Dynasty: Biography of Wei Pi" records: "The old crossbow could only shoot 1.536 steps, so Wei Pi increased it to 1536 steps." In the Song Dynasty, one step was meters, and steps was meters, which was one of the highest range records achieved by ancient long-range weapons.

Therefore, no matter how far they are arranged, as long as the bow is drawn, their target can still be set as a skewer of meat.

There were more than a dozen crossbows, and in one round of firing, there were dozens of crossbows, like dozens of meteors, directly crashing into the gold spear value and silver armor value.

The round shields in their hands were like a pile of foam, and were torn into pieces in almost an instant. The bodies behind the shields were also thrown backwards by the impact of the crossbows. Some people's bodies were even torn directly in the middle by the crossbows.

A general desperately pushed Zhao Kuangyin aside, but he himself was hit head-on by a crossbow. Under the huge force of the crossbow, he was nailed directly to a house more than ten meters away by the crossbow.

"Crossbow! Load arrows!"

"Archers release their arrows!"

Gao Shun looked at the results of this shooting with satisfaction.

In fact, in Gao Shun's opinion, with these siege weapons, this Central Plains War could actually be advanced faster.

In other words, Li Xiang did not want to use human lives to build up the city. In addition, the other side was short of food, and if the consumption continued, their Jin army would definitely have the advantage. This was the reason why they could avoid a strong attack as much as possible.

The main purpose of these crossbows is not to kill, although in this narrow environment, their lethality is maximized.

But Gao Shun's original intention was not to kill, but to tear apart the enemy's defense line.

From now on, those shields have been torn to pieces by the mattresses. At this time, the archers, who are more in number, should show their sharp side.

No matter how powerful the bed crossbow is, its number is limited after all. To truly achieve firepower coverage and a rain of arrows, one still has to rely on a large number of archers.

With Gao Shun's order again, the crossbows in the rear were reloaded, and a large number of archers released their bowstrings. The small piece of sky seemed to be covered by black clouds, covering the only remaining space for Zhao Kuangyin and his men.
