334: Crossbow Cart: "Breaking the Army"

The crossbow bolts, mixed with the large-sized arrows from the crossbow chariots, flew forward at high speed!

The Xiongnu cavalry fell in rows, like wheat in a field!

In just a few breaths, the distance between the Xiongnu cavalry and the Qin Army returned to four hundred paces!

In a few breaths, tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry Soldiers were killed!

Next, the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army fired in turns, orderly and with fierce firepower, always keeping the distance between the two Armies at about three hundred paces!

At this moment, Lin Yue witnessed what was called the peak of the cold weapon era!

Relentless crossbow bolts continuously flew in the air, and in a short time, over a hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry were buried under the crossbow arrows!

But neither side showed any intention of stopping.

At this moment, for the Xiongnu cavalry, lives were like grass, with thousands of Soldiers dying every breath, but without an order to stop from the rear, they could not stop!

Their entire lives were spent galloping on the grasslands; to stop now would mean the cessation of life.

And the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army showed no mercy either; they continued to shoot, like ruthless war machines!

In their eyes, they only cared about the number and distance of the enemy!

"Columns one and three fire simultaneously, columns two and four fire alternately!"

The Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army continued without stopping!

..."Father King, your son requests to fight! I will surely break through the enemy formation and level the enemy Encampment in one fell swoop!" Modu suddenly requested to fight.

The Left Wise King could be considered "his own," so he had to step forward at this moment, otherwise, watching the Left Wise King's Army go to its death would drastically reduce his own strength.

If the Right Wise King were to suffer a great defeat, the absolute advantage he had established would be shaken!

"Hmm." Touman nodded, his brows tightly furrowed as he said, "Be careful. The Qin Army's crossbows are a hundred times sharper than they were back then. You must not be careless!"

"Yes!" Modu replied, and the moment he turned to leave, a cold sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, Modu gathered his five hundred thousand-strong Army and charged forward. With these five hundred thousand cavalry, plus the Left Wise King's million-strong Army, he would surely be able to break into the enemy formation!

"Follow me!" Modu roared!

The Army responded and charged towards the Qin Army's great formation!

He did not charge directly towards Zhao Ben, because even as a First-rate Military General, he was not confident in directly confronting the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army.

In front of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army, the only outcome would be to be shot full of Wasps!

Recalling how he failed to take down the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's Encampment in one go last night was a pain in his heart!

It was all because of Lin Yue and that Zhao Yun, otherwise, how could the Left Wise King's forces have suffered such heavy casualties!

He gripped his long spear tightly and charged forward on his horse!

He arced across the grassland, his target being the flank of the Qin Army's great formation!

The Qin Army's flank was not strong, and without the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army stationed there, he could surely level the enemy Encampment!

Furthermore, once he charged into the enemy formation, attacking from both front and rear with the Left Wise King's forces, they would surely decide the battle in one go!

"Kill!"

Modu chose to charge towards the left side of the Qin Army!

..."It's Modu!" Wang Da Tou said sharply!

"Don't be impulsive, we haven't received the military order yet!" She Jian pulled Wang Da Tou back.

Wang Da Tou's chest heaved continuously, finally calming down as he said, "I understand."

"When will it be our turn?" Lin Yue also asked, feeling a bit anxious watching the intense fighting ahead.

"Soon, just wait a little longer.

Don't worry, we won't let that brat off the hook." She Jian said in a deep voice.

He was also anxious at this moment, but since the Great General had not ordered them, he must have his considerations!

They watched Modu charge into the left flank of the Army, and a fire burned in all their hearts!

Modu led his five hundred thousand elite cavalry towards the left flank of the Army, and everyone's hearts leaped into their throats!

One must know that the Qin Army's great formation had a million men, spanning over ten li in both length and width. For an ordinary Soldier to run from one side to the other would take nearly two incense sticks' worth of time. Therefore, long-distance, large-scale movements within the Qin Army's great formation were impossible to execute in time; by the time the movements were completed, the enemy cavalry would have already charged into the enemy formation!

They could only make local adjustments, but they had witnessed the strength of Modu's cavalry last night. It was no exaggeration to say that not many cavalry units within the Great Wall Legion could decisively overpower them!

She Jian had even pressed his communication token to his ear, constantly ready to receive the order to attack, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no news!

At this moment, Modu had already led his troops in a charge!

Arrows rained down from the left flank of the Army; although the firepower was fierce, it could not stop Modu, a First-rate Military General, nor the advance of the cavalry behind him!

Five hundred paces,

Three hundred paces,

Two hundred paces!

Just as Modu felt victory was within reach, the Qin Army's great formation suddenly opened up!

Behind it were uniform black-armored crossbowmen, dense crossbow chariots, and a super-large crossbow chariot that was three people tall!

And a person he absolutely did not want to see at this moment!

The Deputy Commander of the Great Wall Legion, the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Li!

"Modu, I am here by the Great General's order to execute you all!"

Wang Li roared, then swung his right arm violently, and countless crossbow bolts behind him flew towards Modu!

Zhao Ben only had two hundred thousand Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army behind him, while Wang Li led the most elite one hundred thousand Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army on the left flank, waiting for Modu's arrival!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Arrows flew directly towards Modu!

Modu exerted immense strength, continuously waving the dark long spear in his hand, and also imbued himself with profound energy, barely managing to block the crossbow bolts in front of him!

But several Xiongnu Military Generals beside him had already been shot full of Wasps!

One person was even hit squarely by seven crossbow bolts fired in succession from a crossbow chariot, his body already exploding!

"Whoosh!"

Three powerful and heavy giant crossbow bolts flew towards him with a whooshing sound. The crossbow bolts, made of unknown material, were exceptionally hard and nearly two zhang long, much longer than ordinary infantry spears. The giant crossbow bolts whistled as they collided with his long spear, numbing Modu's tiger's mouth. After striking away two giant crossbow bolts, as he collided with the third giant crossbow bolt, the long spear flew out of his hand!

But even this could not stop that giant crossbow bolt from continuing its charge forward!

"Bang!"

The giant crossbow bolt shattered the invisible shield Modu had created using "profound energy" and shot towards Modu's glabella!

Modu quickly bent down, trying to dodge!

But his speed was still not fast enough. The giant crossbow bolt directly pierced the upper edge of his helmet, and Modu's helmet was forcibly torn from his head, flying rapidly backward!

"Buzz!"

The immense tearing force made him dizzy!

He forced himself to calm down and looked back, only to see that the giant crossbow bolt had pierced through an entire row of cavalry, only stopping after dozens of people!

"What kind of crossbow bolt is this?" Modu's heart pounded uncontrollably at this moment, and an unspeakable fear spread throughout his body!

"Yuan'er, well done, but the 'Army Breaker' crossbow is not used like that.

Next time, aim half an inch lower; don't just stare at his head!

You must know that even if you hit an arm, he will die from excessive bleeding!" Wang Li said in a deep voice.

"Understood, Father!" The twenty-year-old Wang Yuan grinned and laughed.

Then, Wang Li's personal guard, Wang Zhou, vigorously cranked the "super-large" Army Breaker crossbow chariot. Around him, more than ten Soldiers also cooperated, placing pure iron crossbow bolts, comparable in size to long spears, into the crossbow groove one by one. After everything was ready, Wang Zhou smiled and said to Wang Yuan, "Young Master, it's ready!"

"Good!" Wang Yuan smiled, aimed at Modu, and pulled the trigger!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Three shots in a row!
