Chapter 170: The bow is wound again? Three salvos?
Whether it was the panic of Xiang Yu's more than 2,700 cavalrymen or Ying Zheng's shock, it was all because of the 500 Great Snow Dragon Riders in front of them.

After the first wave of arrows rained down, they did not put away the crossbows and change weapons, but firmly aimed the deadly crossbows at the mighty 3,000 cavalry.

The huge wooden crossbow chute was quietly filled with more crossbow arrows at some point.

The arrow head was as hard as iron, flashing a heart-pounding cold light, like the tip of the god of death's scythe, making Xiang Yu and his men shudder.

Immediately afterwards, there were two consecutive volleys of crossbow arrows!

Xiang Yu felt his hair stand on end and fear surged into his heart like a tide. If there was another round of volleys, hundreds of his brothers would die again!
This crossbow is not just abnormal, it is simply beyond common sense!
How could this be a weapon that should exist in the human world!
We must not allow them to continue to control this artifact!

This is a deadly weapon that can overturn the situation on the battlefield!

However, his thoughts raced, and just as he was about to order the cavalry to take shelter, a deafening command came from the 500 cavalrymen on the opposite side.

"Fire arrows!"

Bang bang bang bang!
Five hundred sharp arrows cut through the air again, making a series of piercing whistles.

In an instant, five hundred white air waves appeared like a huge white net across the sky, instantly covering the first two rows of Xiang Yu's cavalry.

As the afterimage passed by, five hundred deep pits suddenly appeared on the ground, and the trembling arrows at the tails spoke of the power of destruction.

More than 300 people and more than 100 war horses, some of them even lost both their horses and their bodies, with shocking bloody holes on them!

Immediately afterwards, there was another roar of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, followed by the sound of more than 300 riders falling to the ground!
The second volley directly took the lives of more than 300 cavalrymen around Xiang Yu because the Snow Dragon Cavalry were prepared!

With just two volleys, nearly 600 people disappeared in an instant! Xiang Yu's heart was bleeding, because those were his 600 brothers!

Each of his three thousand personal guards were experienced warriors, and many of them were also accomplished cultivators.

These people are Xiang Yu's most loyal core force, and are also the essence of the elite he relies on to dominate the world.

Unexpectedly, this time when they were dealing with the Great Snow Dragon Riders, before the battle even started, one-fifth of the brothers, a total of 600 people, had fallen under two rounds of volleys!
"Ahhh!!! I will kill all of you!"

Xiang Yu felt the blood rushing to his forehead madly, and anger swept over him like a raging wave!

His eyes were red as he stared at the big snow dragon riders in front of him, wishing he could tear them into pieces with his own hands!

He had suffered a similar loss before. When he raided Qin's new grain, he was suppressed by the enemy's cavalry equipment and had no power to fight back. He lost thousands of cavalry in that battle.

After finally recovering his strength, he relied on these three thousand personal guards to make Wang Ben and Wang Li suffer.

But today, after just one encounter, he encountered equipment that should not exist in this era, the terrifying double-fire crossbow!
The power of the crossbow arrow was already terrifying, and it could even be fired twice in a row. Xiang Yu really felt like he was going crazy. Such a battle was simply an insult to humanity!
Fortunately, despite two bursts of shooting, our side still has more than 2,000 people with combat effectiveness, which should be more than enough to destroy the enemy's more than 1,000 Snow Dragon Riders.

"Brothers, follow me! Revenge for our fallen brothers!"

"Charge! Revenge!"

The Chu cavalry followed closely behind, carefully stepping over the dead horses and bodies of their companions.

Finally, the third and fourth sequence knights arrived at the front line, regrouped, and galloped forward again.

However, when they looked at the 500 enemy cavalrymen wearing silver armor, holding huge crossbows in their hands, and the 500 steel arrow tips flashing with cold light, they were stunned for a moment.

Qin Shi Huang was anxious to move forward, vowing to protect the five hundred warriors from the deadly crossbows.

Then, the second volley of arrows came down from the sky like a net of death. Qin Shi Huang followed the trajectory of the five hundred crossbow arrows.

In an instant, more than 300 knights who had just charged bravely fell down in a flash of blood, like the debris after a firework burst.

Two salvos?!
Another sweep?! Is this still a battlefield?

This is simply a one-sided massacre!

Qin Shihuang was dumbfounded, in disbelief. Before the two sides even engaged each other, the enemy's first few rows of cavalry had been completely defeated by two rounds of volleys?

This... this crossbow is a magical weapon!
At this moment, the enemy force is estimated to be less than two thousand people, right?
And there are still more than a thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders. Even if we come into close combat, we have nothing to fear!

What's more, there are 20,000 infantrymen behind him ready for battle. Even if they are new recruits, they should know how to stab with spears, right?

If the enemy doesn't flee at all, then these 3,000-plus cavalrymen will probably be doomed to be annihilated!

The huge wooden crossbow brought shock to Qin Shihuang beyond words.

"Go!"

"Brothers, kill all the enemy cavalry!"

At this moment, Qin Shihuang's worries disappeared and his blood boiled again.

He just wanted to lead 800 Great Snow Dragon Riders, march forward bravely, and annihilate Xiang Yu's 3,000 personal cavalry in one fell swoop!
Once these Chu army elites fall, the infantry behind them will be surrounded on three sides with nowhere to escape!
This battle is very likely to become a crucial battle to wipe out the main force of the rebels!
Qin Shihuang was extremely excited. He rode his horse forward with his blood boiling.

Just at this moment, the enemy's rear cavalry also accelerated and rushed forward, forming a charge formation.

However, Qin Shihuang was shocked again.

That crossbow, is it strung again? ! !
Three...three salvos? ! ! !

Not only Qin Shi Huang was shocked.

Xiang Yu was even more shocked.

There's... one more shooting?
A three-shot crossbow? ! !
This is going to take the lives of my brothers!!!
The anger in Xiang Yu's eyes subsided instantly, replaced by a hint of fear!
If we lose another three hundred people and only have two thousand left, this battle will be difficult to win!

hateful!

Where did the other party get this kind of magical weapon that can fire such powerful arrows continuously? !

At this moment, Xiang Yu's face had turned pale, and an idea sprouted in his mind.

It seems that this battle may not be able to continue.

At least, he might not be able to kill all of the more than one thousand Snow Dragon Riders on the opposite side.

Xiang Yu was trapped in the enemy's camp with only 3,000 cavalrymen left under his command. However, he still dared to confront the enemy's power in front of 20,000 new recruits, killing the enemy's Snow Dragon Cavalry in an attempt to break out of the siege.

However, the enemy had a magical crossbow that could shoot three times in a row. Before the battle even started, nearly one-third of our troops had been killed, and nearly a thousand brothers had died heroically. The situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed.

Xiang Yu knew very well that he was powerless to resist the third volley that was about to be launched by the enemy.

At this point, continuing to charge would undoubtedly be suicide.

If the cavalry in the front row fell one after another, the follow-up troops would be hindered by their fallen comrades and fall into fatal chaos.

On the battlefield, this situation is tantamount to trying to grab chestnuts from the fire, especially for cavalry, where speed is life and if they lose their advantage, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Xiang Yu was filled with bitterness and had to make a difficult decision: "Spread out on both sides and turn back to attack the headquarters!"
