The next day, early morning.

On the Yumenguan Watchtower towering into the clouds, five dragon-hunting crossbowmen were watching the north vigilantly.

Suddenly, a large-scale army appeared within their sight. Through simple identification, the five dragon-hunting crossbowmen quickly determined the source of this army.

After confirming his identity, the dragon hunting team leader immediately ordered: "Bang the war drum!"

Each watchtower at Yumen Pass is equipped with loud war drums, which are used to convey the enemy's situation.

"promise!"

A dragon-hunting crossbowman clasped his fists in agreement and then began to beat the war drum vigorously.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the war drums was extremely loud, and it spread throughout the Yumen Pass in just a moment.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Amidst the loud sound of war drums, solemn-looking Daqin sergeants quickly stepped into the city wall, and then defended according to the pre-arranged defense zones.

"Click, click, click!"

The cannonballs, which were dark and glowing with metallic light, were quickly filled into the barrel of the Shenwei cannon by the Daqin gunners.

"Where are the enemy troops now?"

Xue Rengui, who had just arrived at the city wall of Yumenguan, asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the commander, the enemy is now only ten miles away from Yumen Pass!"

On the watchtower, a dragon-hunting crossbowman with a solemn expression responded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui, who was dressed in white robes, nodded, and then gave an order: "When the enemy forces advance to eight miles from Yumen Pass, I will allow the Dragon Hunter Crossbowmen to fire. If the enemy forces approach to five miles, I will allow the Shenwei Cannon to bombard them.

If we get closer than two miles away, all ranged sergeants will attack!"

The ultimate range of the Dragon Hunter Crossbowman is about eight miles, the Divine Power Cannon is five miles, and the Fire Controller's is two miles.

Although the killing power of the Dragon Hunter Crossbowmen is not as good as that of the Firearms Troops, their range far exceeds the limits of the Firearms Troops.

"As you command!"

After hearing the order, all the Daqin generals stationed on the city wall opened their mouths to obey the order.

A quarter of an hour later, the vanguard force of the Qin-defeating coalition entered the ultimate shooting range of the dragon-hunting crossbowmen.

"Click, click, click!"

After the sound of the winch of the crossbow machine rang out, the indifferent-looking dragon-hunting crossbowmen aimed it at the vanguard of the Qin-defeating coalition forces who had stepped into their ultimate range.

After locking the target with eyes like eagles, the dragon-hunting crossbowmen decisively triggered the crossbow machine's hanging knife.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In an instant, countless thick steel crossbow arrows roared down from the watchtower of Yumen Pass.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Serving as the vanguard of the coalition forces against Qin was the Xuandun Army of the Xuanming Emperor.

The Xuandun guards holding large shields stepped neatly on the thick frozen soil on the border of Daqin.

Their expressions were solemn, and the armor on their bodies had a metallic beauty.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

In an instant, the roaring crossbow arrows overwhelmed the Black Shield guards in front.

Caught off guard, the black shield guards in front couldn't even hold up their shields, and were shot into sieves.

Scarlet warm blood slowly dripped down the shaft of the steel crossbow.

"Damn it, raise your shield quickly!"

General Wu Li, who was the first to react, yelled at the Black Shield Guards.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

After hearing the order, the Black Shield guards quickly dispersed their formation, and then smashed down the large stainless steel shield in their hands.

Large shields with amazing defensive capabilities quickly formed a shield wall.

The nervous-looking Black Shield guard slowly advanced forward with his shield in hand.

Behind the Black Shield Guards is the heavily armored swordsman army of the United Kingdom. Since the Black Shield Guards withstood a large number of crossbow arrows, they suffered almost no losses.

The allied forces fighting against Qin used the shield wall in front as cover and slowly advanced towards Yumen Pass in front.

"Pfft!"

Although the shield wall restricted a large number of crossbow arrows, some unlucky ones were still shot.

"The Qin army's crossbows are truly the most powerful weapons in the world!"

Marshal Tahan of the United Kingdom sighed with surprise.

Eight miles away, except for the crossbows of the Qin army, the crossbows of other countries are just decorations at this distance.

This is just a small episode. The Black Shield guards in front are facing the overwhelming rain of arrows and are pushing forward with difficulty.

The rest of the Qin army behind the Xuandun guards could only follow closely behind the Xuandun guards.

"Bang!"

As the Black Shield Guards in the front walk, someone will be hit by an arrow and fall to the ground, and then the Black Shield Guards in the rear will take over.

In this way, they advanced three miles forward step by step.

At this time, the Qin army's bows and crossbows stopped.

Countless soldiers of the Qin Alliance Army could not help but let out a heavy breath.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

But at this moment, the 1,500 divine cannons deployed on the wall of Yumenguan let out a shocking roar.

The black cannonballs with tail flames hit the Qin coalition forces like hailstones.

At that time, the sky was full of smoke and the roar of cannons.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Black cannonballs exploded next to the Black Shield guards.

In an instant, the Black Shield guards howled miserably. The iron shield could defend against crossbow arrows, but it could not defend against the all-pervasive shrapnel.

A large amount of flesh and blood was torn apart by the shells, and the scarlet blood was extremely dazzling in the black smoke.

Under one round of shelling, at least tens of thousands of Black Shield Guards were killed.

"Artillery, it's artillery!"

General Wu Li gritted his teeth and looked at the Yumenguan city wall in the distance.

The upper echelons of the great imperial dynasties were actually no strangers to artillery, but they were not very interested in artillery. They felt that artillery was too clumsy and subject to weather restrictions.

But it was obvious that Da Qin's artillery had taught them a good lesson.

"Just fight like this and greet my "guests" properly!"

Xue Rengui, the commander-in-chief of the central army at Yumen Gate, couldn't help laughing after witnessing the tragic situation of the vanguard of the Qin army in front.

Unknowingly, this peerless commander in the cold weapon era had become a fan of the artilleryman known as the King of War.

"As you command!"

Da Qin's gunners were also extremely excited. They controlled the mighty heavy artillery and bombarded the Qin coalition forces indiscriminately.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar of artillery fire, the Black Shield Guards were completely beaten to the ground.

The piece of land they were standing on just now has been severely plowed by artillery.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, we can't stand it anymore!"

General Wu Li, who was blackened by cannon fodder, sounded unusually sad.

Of the 400,000 Black Shield guards under his command, less than half are still alive.

The artillery cluster tactics are so terrifying that human flesh and blood simply cannot resist them.

After hearing this, Zhou Wang Yang Yi said with a gloomy face: "You are allowed to withdraw from the vanguard position!"

King Zhou knew that the Xuandun Army had reached its limit, and it would be unsightly to push them further.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Wu Li replied in a deep voice, he led less than half of the Black Shield guards to withdraw from the forward position.

After watching Wu Li leave, King Yang Yi of Zhou ordered in a deep voice to Commander Yang Hu beside him: "Yang Hu, I leave it to you!"

Originally, he planned to use the military strength of the three families to frustrate the Qin army, but his plan failed to keep up with the changes.

"As you command!"

Yang Hu was a tall and thick man. He grinned and responded, then ordered his 300,000 Tiger Soldiers and rushed forward.

The Huben Legion is one of Fenghao's top ten ace legions, and its legions are extremely good at attacking fortresses.

The Huben Corps is divided into three combat departments, namely the Shield Department, the Assault Department and the Long-Range Fire Suppression Department. With their complete tactical layout, they have great advantages in attacking difficult battles.

"Fearless Formation!"
