The sentinel standing at the top of the city wall climbed to the watchtower next to him in confusion and looked at the rolling yellow smoke in the distance. He could only vaguely hear the rumbling sound in the distance, like the sound of hundreds of millions of horse hooves stamping on the ground in unison. The sound was like the rolling thunder before a thunderstorm, which alerted the sentinels in Xi 'an.
"Go and report to the platoon commander! Tell him that yellow smoke has been found near the Ding Gate. It may be the Song Army's men moving nearby! "The squad leader of the Xi 'an garrison Yasukuni Army ordered.
The Yasukuni Army was an army under the control of the national government that had not been corrupted at that time. In times of tension, the military discipline was still relatively strict, far better than the military of the warlords at that time. Yang Hucheng, the commander of the first detachment of the third route of the Yasukuni Army, was on guard on the city wall at this time. When he heard the news from the sentinel, he immediately rushed to the city wall.
Feeling the vibration coming from under his feet and the pressure that was getting closer, Yang Hucheng's face was unusually solemn. At this time, the wind suddenly turned from northwest to southeast. The rolling dust slowly retreated from the Ding 'an Gate. Some vague figures gradually appeared — black flags with the pattern of the Black Bird and the Dragon fluttered in the wind. Below the flags, there were bronze warriors holding crossbows pointing at the city wall.
"What is that?" Yang Hucheng raised the binoculars in his hands and looked in that direction.
The bronze chariots pierced through the rolling yellow smoke and came through the dust. The pale green rust reflected the dim metallic luster, like bronze weapons that had been placed for thousands of years. Time had covered up the exposed sharpness and settled the traces of the passage of time. But in these traces, what could not be concealed was the murderous spirit of the blood rust on the bronze, with the silence of the Qin Army, full of tension and solemnity.
The loosely organized chariots were like a whole, a huge war monster. Yang Hucheng seemed to hear its roar in his ears.
Immediately after, Yang Hucheng saw the bronze terracotta soldiers raise the bronze crossbows in their hands. The crossbows in their arms were raised slightly towards the sky, and the crossbows were aimed at the distant Ding 'an city tower. The uniform movement of a bronze chariot army brought Yang Hucheng a great sense of pressure on the city wall. Some of the weaker soldiers had already opened fire from a distance.
However, Yang Hucheng did not stop there. "Stop firing, raise your guns and listen to my orders!" He turned to the scout and ordered, "Scout, measure the distance!" The adjutant immediately reported, "The enemy is still 1200 meters away from the city gate."
"I remember that the effective range of our rifles is 100 meters. We have the advantage of height on the city wall, so let's just say 200 meters. We can only start shooting when the enemy is 150 meters away from us. " Yang Hucheng frowned and said, "Although I don't know the identity of the enemy, they are carrying crossbow bolts that can be used on chariots. I remember that such crossbow bolts can only hit four hundred steps away and shoot eight hundred steps away."
"How dare they attack our defenses?" Yang Hucheng did not understand.
He had been paying attention to the firing line of the defensive position, waiting for these ancient armies that seemed to have come from the past to arrive at the preset position before he would begin to organize the shooting. However, when the chariots reached the 1000 meter line, the Qin Army crossbowmen driving the bronze chariots were the first to draw their crossbows. They aimed into the air. In an instant, the buzzing sound of bowstrings traveled like a tide to Yang Hucheng's ears on the city wall.
Although reason told him that the enemy's outdated crossbow bolts could not threaten this place, Yang Hucheng still followed the urgency in his heart and shouted, "Pay attention to the defense!"
But it was all in vain. On the crossbow in the hands of the Qin Army, an unobtrusive light screen flashed quietly. No matter how rich Yang Hucheng's imagination was, he would never have imagined that on this light screen, it clearly showed the first-person perspective of the crossbow machine firing the crossbow bolts. Through the light screen, the crossbowmen controlled the crossbow bolts to shuttle through the air.
The Xi 'an defensive troops on the city wall watched in surprise as the crossbow bolts of the Qin Army were thrown high into the air. Like a dark cloud, they gathered into countless bolts and pounced densely on the ground, which was the position they said they were at.
The shuttling crossbow bolts were like a huge shoal of fish, shuttling through the Ding 'an city wall in a posture that did not conform to the trajectory of a bullet. Yang Hucheng watched helplessly as some of the crossbow bolts turned around and, according to the principle of one arrow per person, nailed the soldiers on the city wall to the ground. These bolts seemed to have eyes, piercing into the non-vital parts of the soldiers and nailing them to the ground.
The adjutant next to him had his collarbone pierced by an arrow. His entire body was sent flying by the huge counterforce and was nailed to the wooden pillar behind him.
His troops immediately lost the ability to fight. All the soldiers powerlessly wailed on the ground. Although their lives were not in danger, they had completely lost the ability to fight.
Bai Xiaowen heard a hubbub coming from all around him. A country bumpkin with the smell of dirt squeezed onto him and rubbed against the clean school uniform on his body. He couldn't help but frown, but he couldn't care so much now. Someone around him was shouting, "Marshal Liu is fighting his way in!" This caused a series of screams from the women and children around him. Everyone ran in a panic towards their own safe haven. The streets were in chaos, and the shops were all closed urgently!
Bai Xiaowen tried hard to run in the direction of the school. Suddenly, he heard a series of whooshing sounds coming from above his head. It was a concentrated sound.
The terracotta soldiers of the Qin Army were operating the crossbow in a simple manner. A crossbow bolt shuttled through the sky above the Marshal's mansion in the ancient city of Xi 'an like a nimble fish. The camera installed on the arrowhead transmitted the real-time image to the light screen of the crossbow in the hands of the crossbowmen. Through the communication module, the bronze terracotta soldiers' virtual AI module processed the information. They only needed to gently shake the crossbow, and they could adjust the direction of the crossbow bolt.
The reason why this idiotic operation module was designed was that Xianqin wanted to let the ordinary people of this world control it one day. This crossbow bolt, driven by the maglev engine, was like a flying sword controlled by the crossbowmen. It found the armed personnel in Xi 'an one by one, nailed them to the ground, and destroyed any resistance.
All of this happened in a flash. The vanguard of the bronze chariot formation had just touched the city gate of Ding 'an.
The bronze chariot leaped over the moat. Facing the thick city gate made of solid wood and iron, the spear-wielding warrior on the leading bronze chariot leaped up with all its might and hacked on the city gate. High-frequency light blades exploded from the edge of the bronze weapon. The concentrated beams of photons vibrating at a high frequency instantly destroyed the material carrier it came into contact with. The huge city gate, which was nearly a foot thick, was torn apart like a piece of paper.
The bronze chariot drove straight into the ancient city of Xi 'an.
