Chapter 417: The Great Yellow Crossbow Shows Its Power, Humanity on the Battlefield
"Dong...Dong...Dong..."
It was about six o'clock in the morning, and the sound of the war drums sounded. Without guessing, it was Guo Xinke's rebellious preparation for siege, and just after the war drums sounded opposite.
The sharp wooden whistle above the south gate also sounded.
"Enter the formation..."
Xue Rengui, Luo Jin, and Su Dingfang began to command their troops to enter their respective first guard positions. Among them, Luo Jin's second battalion was the backbone of the city, because one hundred big yellow crossbows were in Luo Jin's second battalion.
One big yellow crossbow cannon was mounted on the city wall. Each big yellow crossbow cannon was controlled by three people, one aimed, one took the force, and one took the arrow... The three people performed their own duties, which could ensure that the big yellow crossbow cannon was shot as fast as possible.
On both sides of the Great Yellow Crossbow, Zhou Likai from the first company of the Third Battalion of Su Dingfang led his divine arm bow company and Qin Yong's Rugui Company to guard both sides.
The modified Dahuang crossbow has a range of about 600 meters. At this time, from top to bottom, the range will be increased by another fifty to one hundred meters, and the range of the Divine Arm Bow is between 400 and 500 meters.
With these two magical artifacts guarding, the South Gate must be as solid as a god.
However, for insurance, where is Li You at this time... Haha... At this time, Li You is in an unthinkable place, the tallest building in Hong County, above a certain pagoda. This pagoda is about five meters high and is the tallest building in Hong County.
Some people will definitely ask why Li You stayed on this pagoda?
Hehe... Of course, staying here is to end the war. The so-called capturing the king first. Although there are big yellow crossbows and divine arm bows in the south gate, it can be said that no one can attack, but what if the opponent does not attack the south gate?
So the best way is to shoot and kill the highest commander on the opposite side, Guo Xinke. When Li You came, he had seen Guo Xinke's portrait. Although his portrait was average, Guo Xinke had a large birthmark on his face, which allowed Li You to confirm the other party.
On the pagoda, Li You found the window facing the south door, and sat down cross-legged. Then Li You closed his eyes and entered the system, and then found the confirmation button of the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle.
Following Li You clicked to confirm, and then a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle appeared in front of Li You. This Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle is the most advanced sniper rifle with the farthest range in modern times at this time.
When mentioning sniper rifles, most people probably think of the same three words... "Barrett". In the sniper world, it is the well-deserved "king".
Barrett's full name is Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle, designed and manufactured by American gun enthusiast Lonnie Barrett.
He was originally a commercial photographer who had never received any training in firearm design. By chance, Barrett had the idea of using heavy machine gun bullets for a rifle. So a .50-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle was born.
The reason why Barrett is the "king of heavy snipers" is mainly because of its two characteristics. One is its strong lethality. The US military nicknamed it "Light 50", which is not as gentle as it looks on the surface. A rifle is loaded with bullets from a heavy machine gun. Just think about it and you will know that it is not a vegetarian.
The 12.7mm bullet of this killer can penetrate the bulletproof vest like tearing paper. Someone once witnessed a senior Taliban official about 1,600 meters away torn into the car by Barrett.
A shooter once shot and killed an Iraqi soldier who was climbing up the water tower 1,400 meters away. After hitting, the soldier's upper body fell down.
However, Barrett's main purpose is not to deal with personnel, it also has a different name called "anti-equipment rifle".
It can destroy high-value targets such as light armored vehicles, radars, ammunition storage yards and aircraft. The US Marine Corps used "Barrett" to destroy Iraqi artillery command vehicles and armored personnel carriers.
In addition to its powerful advantage, Barrett's ultra-long range and extremely high accuracy have also won it a lot of praise. The gun's maximum accurate range is as high as 1,850 meters and a maximum range of 2,500 meters. It uses an M3 optical super scope.
In the sniper duel, the range of the gun becomes a key factor in determining the outcome and even life and death. No matter how excellent a sniper is holding an ordinary sniper rifle and encountering an enemy equipped with Barrett, he has to face the dilemma of being passively beaten.
Currently, Barrett is used in the armies of almost all Western countries because of its outstanding performance, including the US special forces. It occupies the dominance of the 12.7mm sniper rifle market and is equipped with military and police forces from dozens of countries.
However, Barrett also has two unavoidable problems: one is that its huge size leads to poor concealment and inflexibility, and the other is that thick smoke is produced after shooting and it is easy to expose its own position. These two defects restrict its use on the battlefield.
These two certainly have nothing to do with Li You, and the most unfriendly thing to Li You is that after Li You opened the magazine, there were only two bullets in the magazine.
Although it was a pity, it was helpless. Li You could only control it carefully now, hoping that the bullets would not be wasted. Soon, Li You set up Barrett and followed him to lie on.
Through the M3 optical super scope, Li You could see clearly the every move of the rebels on the opposite side. At this time, the rebels sent about 6,000 people to start a fatal blow to Hongxian.
Because I chose to be at the South Gate the previous few times, some of the defense facilities at the South Gate had been damaged. This time, in order to quickly capture Hong County, Guo Xinke still chose to attack the South Gate.
At this time, a sound of waving sounded in Li You's ears, and he followed Li You to see six thousand rebels rushing towards him.
At the same time, Guo Xinke finally walked out of the tent. This guy was easy to recognize because his armor was the best Mingguang armor, and secondly, the birthmark on his face had betrayed him.
A group of people were surrounded by Guo Xinke. These people were Guo Xinke's subordinates and think tanks. Li You couldn't see what these people were saying in the scope because Li You couldn't read lips, but just saw these people happy. If nothing unexpected happened, he should think that this attack was sure to be sure.
But these guys would not have thought that there was the most terrifying rain of arrows waiting for them in front of them.

"Xiao Liu... follow me forward later, don't be afraid. The city guarding materials in Hongxian have been consumed almost all, and the more you hide, the more bricks and bows you will have to look for you... So don't be afraid."
"Hey... I know Brother Shan... I will definitely follow you." A young man about eighteen years old nodded repeatedly after that Brother Shan.
Hearing his little brother's approval, the Shan brother nodded slightly, and then shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers, this time everyone will show off their momentum. Hongxian has no more resources to defend the city.
This time, we may be powerless. We must seize this opportunity. As long as any of us can kill the city first, General Guo said, reward tens of thousands of gold, general sealed the Lang... As long as we are once, we will be the best."
"I understand, Brother Shan..." All the people following Brother Shan responded happily.
There are about eighteen people in this group, and they should be from the same place. In many armies, there are such village parties. They are like a small group that can take care of each other during the war.
It's just that today this small group may not be able to get what they think they can get.
All of Guo Xinke's six thousand soldiers thought that the defenders at the South Gate were still the same as those of yesterday's Hongxian government soldiers and people, so when about 500 meters in front of the city wall, the six thousand soldiers did not set up a formation, with shield soldiers in front, crossbow soldiers in the middle, and light infantry behind.
At this time, the 6,000 rebels were about to set up their formation when they were 400 meters, because the range of crossbows of Hongxian government soldiers was about 300 meters, and it was still time to set up their formation for 400 meters.
But just when the six soldiers were still in chaos, Luo Jin shouted loudly when he heard the top of the South Gate city: "Shoot..."
"Buzz...buzz...buzz...buzz!"
One hundred yellow crossbows, one three arrows at a time, three hundred arrows were shot indiscriminately in the first round.
"Puff...puff...puff...puff!" This was the sound of arrows entering the body. Soon, Guo Xinke's rebels heard the soldiers' screams and wails, but these screams and wails could not arouse the mercy of the Tiger Group on the city wall.
In just about one second interval, the second wave of three hundred arrows shot out, followed by the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave and the tenth wave...!
Three thousand arrows shot no less than two thousand people at once. Why did they shoot so many at once? It is mainly because their formation is not well-deployed. If they can set up the formation in advance and shield soldiers are ahead, it will reduce a lot of casualties.
This is attributed to their indecision.
After the tiger group's big yellow crossbow shot out ten rounds, it is time to install bows and arrows. However, installing bows and arrows is a time-consuming job, which takes at least five minutes.
Originally, Li You thought that after the big yellow crossbow was exported in one round, the rebels should be restrained and withdrawn quickly. But what Li You didn't expect was that Guo Xinke's army was really very bloody. One-third of the people were shot to death at one time, and the rest of them had the courage to rush forward.
"They have no bows and arrows, and everyone follows me to avenge Xiaoliu."
Just now, the Xiaoliu, who was originally hiding behind Brother Shan, was already pulled by his brother Shan quickly to him to block the arrow. He passed through Xiaoliu's head with an arrow. He leaned against Xiaoliu's body and the brother Shan saved his life.
This is the bottom line of the veteran. The Shan brother asked Xiaoliu to follow him all the time. It seemed that he wanted to protect Xiaoliu. In fact, the fundamental purpose was to let Xiaoliu be his shield.
Don’t discuss human nature on the battlefield, living is the best human nature.
This brother Shan can live until now, but if he doesn't have any means, he won't live until now.
Soon, Brother Shan used Xiaoliu's death to provoke a revenge counterattack, and his purpose was really to avenge Xiaoliu?
Of course not. His purpose was to be the first to climb to the head of Hongxian County, that's all.
