Chapter 5 The Last Light

Chapter 5 The Last Light

Both sides, who have been entangled for a few days, relaxed at this moment and seemed to sleep a little too much. When the sun began to ignite after late autumn, the troops on both sides began to shout loudly.

To Su Yong's delight, before the enemy artillery in the west advanced to yesterday's position, the east gate behind them ushered in a serum wind and a larger number of artillery support and bow and arrow teams.

Although the serum wind that only walked for half a day later than Su Yong and rushed to the night at night was a little haggard, at this moment, he walked to the top of the city and changed his elegant nature. He was very excited to lead them to a bear hug with Su Yong and Hong.

"It's good to see you." Serum wind smiled, squinted at the huge queue of enemy artillery outside, turned his head to look at Old Hong, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "I knew that Lao Hong was not so easy to hang up. If he can't stop it, who else can stop it?"

Old Hong snorted dissatisfiedly, "You want me to hang up earlier." However, he quickly sighed again and looked at Su Yong: "If Brother Su hadn't come in time last night, I'm afraid I really can't keep it."

Old Mr. Hong pointed to the team of golden tiger archers: "Look, how much surplus is left for each person?"

"No matter how much surplus there is, it's useless. You have to pull it." The serum wind said lightly, "It's not my first time to fight. In the past few days, I know exactly how much the physical strength of the soldiers has been consumed.

Although the number of soldiers of the Hongfan Westerners is less than that of Yanlong, they use guns and cannons, which can hardly consume much effort. This is the most important point.

It seems that the single-barreed long gun in this era is comparable to the lethality of bows and arrows, but the other party does not need to spend energy. It only needs a simple loading and firing. The kinetic energy of the bullet comes from gunpowder rather than manpower, while Yanlong soldiers need to use enough strength to shoot bows and arrows. This is the advantage of the other party's weapons.

May I ask a general who needs to keep pulling the bow, after a certain degree of physical exertion, even if he is against the same weapon, how can he be the opponent of the enemy who is refreshed?

This is the power of technology. Even if the opponent is at a disadvantage in number, relying on powerful weapons can still overwhelm the opponent to win.

It seemed that neither side could take advantage of last night's war at the last minute. But these generals who don't know how many battles they have experienced know that if the other party really persists, the first thing that they can't stand it must be their own side. Because the other party's physical consumption is far lower than that of himself.

This is also the reason why Hong Yuanba ordered the whole city to stay away from the other party. Once the other party is close to a breakthrough, even if it is just a breakthrough, it may cause the phenomenon of a thousand-mile long embankment to destroy the ant nest.

Within a long distance, archers who take turns on the field may be able to forcibly restrain their opponents with arrows scattered without targets, but once they are approached by the opponent, the generals with sharp blades or bows and arrows will never be the opponents of the enemy holding guns. No matter in terms of convenience, simplicity or accuracy of operation, the opponent's guns should be It is much higher than your own swords, bows and arrows.

Of course, the confrontation mentioned here is not applicable to relatively perverted masters such as Su Yong or Xiao Changfeng, but only for the confrontation of ordinary soldiers.

"But since our reinforcements have arrived, let's show them a good performance." Su Yong laughed.

Serum wind and old man Hong and others looked at each other and smiled, and said, "That's right."

There are not many artillery cannons brought by the serum wind, only about 100, which is about the same amount escorted by Su Yong yesterday. Many of them are absolutely new guns that have been cooled and molded and immediately put into the carriage as soon as they are released.

But on his trip, he brought almost all the reserve bows and arrows of the Iron Lion Army. Of course, there are also the Iron Lion Army archers of the large army.

"They are not tired and can stand it." The war-sought serum wind smiled and said, "Although they have been on the road all night, they were all sleeping during the day yesterday."

Su Yong couldn't help laughing: "The bloodline is really thoughtful."

Xiao Changfeng watched the arrows move up, piled up into hills, and then kept dispersing to the four directions. He couldn't help but say in astonishment, "So many arrows... Isn't the Iron Lion Army useless in the future?"

Serum wind laughed and said, "No, no, no. Let's fight them back."

Su Yong also smiled and said, "Maybe this arrow is really useless in the future. It's better to make full use of it at this moment." Since he captured Mi Gao and got the single-barreed long gun in his hand that had been cut into two pieces, he had handed it over to the Military Weapons Department for research for the first time. It is thought that the Yanlong Empire will soon usher in the era of hot weapons.

Hearing Su Yong's words, Hong Yuanba and Serum Feng were also slightly stunned. After a moment, they stroked their palms and laughed, "Brother Su is right. It's time to squander it."

Su Yong walked to Xiao Changfeng, who was a little depressed, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "But General Xiao's magic arrow stunt is different. That's not comparable to this gun."

Xiao Changfeng shook his head and sighed, and forced him to smile. He also knew that if guns continued to develop, bows and arrows would slowly withdraw from the historical stage and become ancient props on portraits.

Even Yanlong's most important riding and shooting skills in martial arts in the past will slowly produce new changes. There is no manpower to stop the development of science and technology and the progress of society.

Although the artillery is still insufficient, it will come one after another. At this moment, the iron lion army archers and the golden tiger soldiers who have recovered slightly, as well as the arrows piled up under their feet, will definitely give each other a big surprise.

Even the freshly arrived hundred main guns did not push close to the edge of the city wall for the time being, but stood proudly behind the soldiers. However, the neat round ball shells piled up next to it are obviously ready.

At this moment, the huge black hole gun was stretched out, and only the nearly a hundred main guns brought by Su Yong had seen the light last night.

At this moment, the serum wind squinted at the red army slowly approaching under the city and said with a faint smile, "Lao Hong's brother worked so hard for so long last night. At this moment, let the brother of the Iron Lion Army taste it first."

Hong Yuanba snorted and said angrily, "Of course. It's just that your Iron Lion Army, don't let our Golden Tiger brothers see jokes.

Su Yong learned from the serum wind that Yu Canghai has begun to take over the southeast area in an all-round way, and it was the serum wind that led the brigade to come in person. At this moment, he pushed Xiao Changfeng, who was still secretly injured, and laughed, "Blood leader, General Xiao is a divine archer. Why don't you let him start?"

Serum wind nodded with a smile: "It's perfect. Just invite General Xiao to lead the team."

Old Hong laughed and said, "You pushed it fast. Put the burden on Brother Xiao's shoulder."

The serum wind ignored him, looked around at his subordinates with a neat lineup, and shouted loudly, "All the Iron Lion soldiers, obey General Xiao Changfeng's orders."

The iron lion soldiers dressed in black and solemn answered in unison, "Yes."

The Iron Lion soldiers even had a cold iron-blooded voice, but the people who listened at this moment were excited.

Su Yong suddenly smiled and looked at Old Hong: " Commander Hong, the scene is so grand that it will be a pity that your subordinates will not participate."

Hong Yuanba was stunned and immediately shouted in a low voice, "And all the golden tiger brothers grabbed the bow and arrow for me and obeyed General Xiao's order. If anyone can't pull the bow and arrow at this moment, I will cut off his hand."

Let yourself cast the last glory of the bow and arrow? Xiao Changfeng suddenly woke up and punched Su Yong excitedly. His hands trembled a little when he took off the long bow.

"All archers obey the order." Xiao Changfeng didn't even look under the city, but looked up at the blue sky where there was still residual gunpowder smoke. It seemed that the gunnery troops slowly approaching below were not in his eyes at all.

"Objective: straight ahead. Inclination: forty-five."

"The arrow." The archers neatly reached out and pulled up the white feather and black arrows.

"Put a string and a bow." The buzzing sound of countless bowstrings is like a large group of bees flapping their wings.

With an extremely sad roar, the long bow in Xiao Changfeng's hand was pulled like a full moon, and then suddenly exploded, and the long arrow that rushed to the sky seemed to go straight to the stars.

"Let go." He shouted loudly.

Just as the long arrow was still swinging up, countless white feathers roared in the sky and surrounded under the long arrows, like the extremely gorgeous fireworks in the New Year, releasing their last light.
