Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 741

Chen Qi is a crossbowman among Yuan Jun, but before that, he was a hunter with superb bow and arrow skills.It's a pity that as soon as the war started, he was captured by Yuan Junqiang and sent to the front line.

It is said that a strong man like him would usually be sacrificed as cannon fodder.But fortunately, Chen Qi's shooting ability not only saved him from dying in the battle, but his life was more nourishing than before.

Just like that, he was lying leaning on the archery tower, enjoying the gentle breeze from the high place, but he was much more comfortable than those craftsmen who were building the fort below.Especially when he stood up and looked down at the Cao Ying in front, he could even feel the fearful eyes of the Cao Ying soldiers - in Chen Qi's eyes, those guys were no more than sneaky rats, and he really enjoyed the feeling of dominating other people's lives .

But when he was lamenting how lonely Invincible was, suddenly there was a commotion in Cao Ying.Chen Qi immediately picked up his bow and arrow, and looked down at Cao Ying.

Soon, he discovered that the place where there was movement was not strictly speaking Cao Ying, but the Han Ying on the side of Cao Ying.The tiger soldiers formed a neat formation and appeared in groups in the camp.Each of them held a large shield, forming a huge round shield formation for defending against arrows. Some soldiers in the center seemed to be... protecting a donkey cart?
Chen Qi was a little puzzled, and at the same time he put down the bow and arrow in his hand: because of the order from above, he can shoot and kill the soldiers in Cao Ying at will.But for those people in the Han camp, they need to ask for instructions.

However, Chen Qi does not need to be responsible for these requests, he just needs to stand on the watchtower to observe what the tiger soldiers are doing.

Those Huben soldiers moved pieces of wood from the donkey cart?No, they seemed to be assembled on donkey carts under the protection of the round shield.When the time for a stick of incense was up, Chen Qi suddenly saw a seemingly powerful catapult standing on top of the donkey cart.

The veterans on Yuan Jun's watchtower couldn't help laughing: they have experienced many battles and have seen too many catapults.Those things are only useful when attacking the city, but the premise is that they must be covered by soldiers before they can launch a few rounds to smash the walls that are six or seven feet high.

But the archery towers in the Yuan camp had expected this a long time ago. All of their archery towers were as low as ten feet and as high as twenty feet.Although the catapult can also hit the middle of the archery tower, causing the archery tower to collapse, but the problem is that the height sometimes represents the distance.These archery towers are so high in order to be able to fully distance themselves from Cao Ying.And this equal distance happened to be a distance where a sharp arrow could be shot into Cao Ying, but it was difficult for a stone to be thrown into Yuan Ying.

Therefore, in the eyes of the veterans on the arrow tower, these catapults were only used to prevent Yuan Jun from continuing to build those simple camps in the forward position.And the price of doing so may also cause those soldiers who threw stones to be shot and killed by bows and arrows in large numbers.

However, since those guys are from the Han army, consider them lucky.

Sure enough, when I was young, there was an order from above to let the craftsmen who built the tents retreat, and the archers on the archery tower only needed to watch quietly, and there was no need to shoot and kill the tiger soldiers.

But Chen Qi didn't feel that way. While hunting in the mountains, he cultivated an indescribable intuition.He looked at those guys who were obviously different from ordinary catapults, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Especially after that, he even saw the big Han emperor standing among the round shields.His appearance immediately attracted some veterans on the archery tower to set up their bows and arrows - they certainly did not dare to disobey the order from above to shoot the current emperor, all they had to do was to shoot the arrows at the feet of the emperor.Take a look at the difference between today's panic and ordinary people.

The son of heaven who was building the awning with his hands was looking up and obliquely, apparently also seeing this scene.But to Chen Qi's surprise, not only did the young man in brocade clothes not panic, he even extended his hand and greeted them?
Then, the emperor of the Han Dynasty suddenly waved his hand and gave an order before the shooters.

With a loud bang, Chen Qi seemed to feel like a thunderbolt had exploded.Then a strange wind came from the top of Chen Qi's head, he raised his head in astonishment, and saw a marvel that he would never forget in his life: three or four huge stones with different shapes flew over his ten-foot-tall arrow tower , flew quickly in mid-air, drew several dangerous and graceful arcs, and smashed towards a twenty-foot arrow tower.

Chen Qi subconsciously wanted to hide, but fortunately, these stones were not accurate, almost all of them missed, and a cloud of smoke and dust was thrown in the Yuan camp.Then, the last scene Chen Qi remembered was that the emperor of the Han Dynasty shook his head regretfully, and seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

But at this moment, Chen Qi couldn't care less about what the emperor muttered: That's not an ordinary catapult, but a super catapult with super long range and powerful strength!They can completely destroy these arrow towers and kill themselves!
Even though he was not a veteran, Chen Qi knew that this first throw was just a catapult adjusting the angle.The next round of throwing must be much more accurate than this time!
Chen Qi didn't care about any military orders, so he quickly climbed down from the watchtower.But when he climbed halfway, there was a sudden thunderbolt, just like a sudden thunderbolt in the daytime, which made Chen Qi fall directly from the arrow tower.Fortunately, he was covered by a pair of hay, which prevented him from falling to his death.

But unfortunately, even after falling to the ground, Chen Qi still did not escape the danger.He was shocked to see that hundreds of stones appeared in the sky this time, as if a rain of stones had fallen.Many archery towers were hit by those powerful stones, making the unpleasant sound of wood breaking, and when the archery towers collapsed, the soldiers howled endlessly when they fell from mid-air!

And when Chen Qi looked at the ground, he saw a stone rolling past him.The huge inertia made it run over the corpse of a Yuan Jun who didn't have time to avoid it, and that Yuan Jun only had time to let out a sharp scream, adding a touch of dazzling red to the stone.But the castration of the stone remained unabated, and it was still rumbling and rolling at a very high speed, crushing more soldiers along the way...

"Run!..." In the Yuan camp, shouts erupted in unison immediately.Countless soldiers immediately ran towards the place they thought was safe like ants in a frying pan.When they encountered anyone who dared to stop them, whether it was the Shangguan or the law enforcement team, they all slashed down, just wanting to escape from this place as soon as possible.

At this time, Liu Xie, looking at the chaos that completely bombed the camp, said leisurely: "It's almost the same, we can make the chaos more violent..."

Following Liu Xie's order, the faces of the middle and upper-level officers in the Yuan camp who were trying to stop the chaos couldn't help but change: this time, what flew over was no longer ordinary stones, but fireballs!

Those catapults rolled hay and firewood into a big ball, poured boiling oil on it, and lit the fire!The weight of these fireballs is much lighter than that of rocks, and correspondingly, their throwing distance is greatly lengthened.Even scarier and more important, they are burning!

A ball of fire rolled down in front of a tent, and it only took one breath before the tent was ignited.Nearly a hundred fireballs fell in one round, and the entire Yuan camp at the front became a sea of ​​flames!Some of the soldiers who had no time to escape were directly burned, and they rolled miserably like a human-shaped torch, and soon became the sacrifices of the Vulcan Zhurong, lying in the fire to rest forever.

Such movements naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers in Cao Ying.They looked at Yuan Jun who used to intimidate them like a master, and couldn't help raising their arms and shouting.Xiahoudun even came to Liu Xie excitedly, bowed down and thanked him: "Your Majesty, this artifact wiped away Yuan Jun's arrogance, and relieved the depression I had been waiting for for more than a month, and my morale rose. I don't know what the name of this artifact is? "

At this time, there was another earth-shattering thunderclap. Liu Xie listened to the sound and replied calmly: "This trebuchet sounds like thunder when it is thrown, so I named it the thunderbolt chariot."

After all, Liu Xie naturally turned to the sea of ​​fire in front of him, and opened his arms to feel the power of the flames, as if he was the fire and the fire was him.Then, unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xie's mouth: Now that Liu Ye's thunderbolt car has also entered the stage of the Battle of Guandu as promised, will Comrade Xu You also take the initiative to rebel? How about voting?
After all, the reason for doing this is to raise the morale of the Han army and Cao army.If Xu You defected, the Han army and Cao army must take the initiative to win the battle of Guandu.And if the situation has been so suppressed by Yuan Jun that he can't even dare to leave the camp, then it's still a fart.

However, even if Comrade Xu You didn't come, Liu Xie also found that he liked this kind of mysterious and surprising history more and more...
