Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 705: The War to Destroy a Nation (Part )

"General Guan, pass on Commander Han's order, ordering you to lead the Modao team to capture the east gate within half an hour."

The messenger rode his horse to a team that was fully armored, holding three-meter-long swords, and ready for battle.

The leader held a long sword in his hand, his face was stern and his eyes looked like he looked down upon the world.

If not Guan Yun, then who else!

Hearing that Han Xing wanted to lead the Mo Dao team to attack, Guan Yun still had that stern look on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"Go and report to Commander Han that I will capture the East Gate within half an hour."

"Yes!" The messenger jumped on his horse and rode away.

Guan Yun stared at the East Gate which was still under attack in the distance, with a chilling light flashing in his eyes.

"The capital of Zhao is indeed difficult to capture. Fortunately, the King of Chu asked craftsmen to develop new siege equipment in Bingzhou."

Guan Yun took a deep breath and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, have the rear troops pull up the three-bow crossbows!"

"Yes!" A soldier immediately went down to pass on the order.

Then, Guan Yun turned around and looked at the Modao team behind him, and said in a cold voice: "My fellow soldiers, you need to raise an army for a thousand days to deploy it for a moment!"

"We enjoy the best treatment in the army. Today we must not let down His Royal Highness the King of Chu. We must break through the East Gate today."

All the soldiers of the Modao Team raised their Modao high and shouted in unison: "Break through the east gate!"

Guan Yun looked at the excited soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Team one, put down your Mo Dao, and after the first round of crossbow shooting is over, rush to the city gate and take over the siege warriors."

"The second team will lead the first team's Mo Dao and charge forward. After the city is breached, they will charge in immediately."

"Yes!"

After a series of arrangements, the Chu army camp suddenly began to disperse.

Dozens of people pushing a huge cart slowly appeared in front of everyone along the cleared road.

There were three huge crossbows mounted on the chariot, with arrows as long as spears, and the tips of the arrows flashing sharp and cold light.

Han Xing, who was supervising the battle from behind, saw this scene, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It can finally be put to use."

Di Wenyao stroked his beard and said expectantly, "This bow was forged by craftsmen ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. After more than half a year of repeated tests and training, it can finally be used on the battlefield."

"This bow took more than half a year to make, and only about a hundred have been made. I hope it will shine in this battle."

The last time Chu Ning rescued eight craftsmen in Kyoto City, when these eight people were sent to Bingzhou, they brought with them the drawings drawn by Chu Ning himself.

The three-bow crossbow is specially designed for tough battles and sieges.

The defending side had the advantage. The attacking soldiers shot arrows under the city wall, but not only was the distance not enough, but the power was also not enough.

However, there is no such worry at all for the three-bow crossbow.

Depending on the size of the bow, it takes thirty to a hundred people to draw it. It has immense power and when shot out it is so powerful that the arrow can even be nailed on the city wall.

The siege soldiers could even climb up to the city walls by stepping on the sharp arrows!

This bow is extremely powerful, requires a lot of people to shoot it, and has a long range, enough to threaten the defenders on the city wall.

At this moment, more than 30 three-bow crossbows were pushed to the city wall within an arrow's reach. All the soldiers were on full alert and began to load sharp arrows.

Guan Yun rode his horse to the front of the crowd, glanced at the people who were ready, raised his long sword high, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Get ready!"

Each archer on the triple-bow crossbow exerted force at the same time and pulled the longbow.

"Stab~Stab~"

The bow is fully drawn and ready to go!

When the defenders on the city wall saw this, their shield bearers rushed forward one after another.

Guan Yun glared, roared, dropped the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Dense swarms of long arrows whizzed out, instantly covering the entire east of the city.

"Shield bearer, hold on for me!"

On the city wall, a middle-aged man wearing purple royal robes and holding a golden mace was giving orders.

This person is King Zhou, one of the four great clan princes of the State of Zhao.

The shieldmen looked at the sharp arrows flying towards them from below, and they were all cautious without the King of Zhou's order.

They thought that the hard shields could block the long arrows, but the moment the arrows hit them, they felt a powerful force that knocked their bodies away.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

All the Zhao soldiers who were hit by the long arrows were knocked flying, and their bodies hit the pillars of the city wall and were nailed to them alive.

Some people were shot directly into the city with their shields, and screams were heard continuously.

This shocking scene made King Zhou's face change drastically.

"This... How is this possible? What kind of bows and arrows are these?"

King Zhou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and the golden mace in his hand was shaking constantly.

The King of Zhou, who had never seen such a scene, was shocked, not to mention the Zhao army who were fighting.

It was such a shocking scene that they were unable to react for a moment.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Guan Yun outside the city made a prompt decision: "The first team of Mo Dao, charge forward to replace the siege warriors!"

"Ordinary archers provide cover, and the three-bow crossbows are quickly reloaded!"

As orders were issued one after another, dozens of people from the Modao Team rushed out, and the Chu archers also shot arrows to provide cover.

Although there were still arrows shot down from the city walls, their number was small and they were covered by the Chu archers. The Modao team quickly rushed to the city gate and took over the position of the siege warriors.

They worked together to support the siege vehicle and continued to hit the city gate.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The members of the Modao team are an elite force carefully selected from thousands. They do not have any special features, and their only feature is their great strength.

After more than a dozen consecutive collisions, the huge city gate showed signs of being knocked open.

The Zhao soldiers who were holding onto the city gates inside the city felt a powerful force and were constantly hit.

Although they tried their best to resist, some people were still shocked by the powerful force and vomited blood.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers behind immediately rushed forward to take over.

On the city wall, King Zhou saw this scene and made a prompt decision: "Shoot them! Shoot them!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The sharp arrow fell, but was blocked by the Chu shieldmen at the city gate.

At the same time, Guan Yun in the distance saw that the three-bow crossbow had been loaded, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Release!"

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

The three-bow crossbow fired arrows again!

Looking at the sharp arrows that looked like spears, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to resist and hid their bodies under the battlements.

With the experience just now and seeing the power of the three-bow crossbow, no one dared to confront it.

But because they wanted to avoid the sharp arrows from the three-bow crossbow, no one paid attention to the Modao team at the city gate.

The Modao team at the city gate had no external interference, and they fought hard to hit the city gate.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~Dong~"

As the speed increased, the Zhao soldiers behind the city gate were constantly blown away. Although people kept coming up, they were not fast enough.

More and more Zhao soldiers were knocked out, and the city gate was shaking continuously.

After dozens of consecutive collisions, the soldiers behind the city finally couldn't hold on and were all blown away.

"Bang~"

With the last impact, the city gate was knocked open.

Guan Yun, who was far away, saw this and made a prompt decision: "Three crossbows provide cover, and the Modao team will charge in!"

The city gate is broken, and now it's time for the Modao team to kill!
