Repeating crossbows are actually not suitable for defending the city.

Of course, the repeating crossbows mentioned here are not the kind of hand crossbows held by soldiers, but the heavy-duty repeating crossbows, which are the thousand ten-shot repeating crossbows rewarded by the previous system.

The reason is that the penetrating power of the ten-shot heavy repeating crossbow is so strong that it can easily penetrate even a finger-thick iron shield.

If it were mounted on the city wall and shot downwards, it would kill one or two enemies at most and then be directly inserted into the soil.

Only on flat ground can he show the killing ability that scares the world. For example, when Li Chengdao seized power that day, Lu Hu led the Youzhou garrison to mutiny around the camp, and thousands of soldiers were easily slaughtered by repeated crossbows.

It was precisely because of the limitations of the Lian Nu that Li Chengdao did not place it on the city wall this time, but deployed it inside the Sanmen Gate.

How big is the city gate hole?It is only five or six feet wide, and it is in this narrow passage that the most favorable terrain is for the Liannu to show its terrifying side!

After Li Chengdao ordered the city gates to be opened, the city gates on the north, east, and west sides were opened directly.

And those Turkic soldiers simply gave up climbing the ladder to attack the city, and directly chose to fight towards the city gate!

Climbing the ladder to attack the city requires hard work on the city wall, but now the city gate is wide open and you can enter directly. Which one do you choose?

The sudden opening of the city gate also surprised Tuli Khan.

"What kind of tricks is Li Chengdao playing? Why did he open the city gate?"

Tuli Khan said in great surprise.

"Hmph! No matter what conspiracy he plays, he will definitely be defeated as soon as the city gate opens!"

Jieli Khan's eyes flashed with bloodlust.

Li Chengdao's sudden opening of the city gate must be a fraud, but he was not afraid at all.

Once the city gate opens, as long as the army pours in, there will be no chance of not being able to capture Youzhou!

How many defenders are there in Youzhou? How big is their Turkic army? It can be completely crushed in terms of numbers!

Countless Turkic soldiers poured in through the open city gate. There were no soldiers blocking the city, but a large open space had long been vacated for these soldiers to pour in.

Twenty feet away inside the city wall, huge ten-shot crossbows were standing ready. The cold, thick metal arrow bodies reflected a heart-stopping cold light, making the Turkic soldiers who suddenly came in a little confused. At a loss.

"Fire arrows!"

Feng Li shouted coldly, and with his order, all the crossbows were fired, and terrifying metal crossbow arrows were fired at the Turkic soldiers who rushed out of the city gate hole and the soldiers who had not yet rushed out!

"Chichichi-"

One after another, the terrifying sound of flesh penetration was heard, and at this moment, the ten-shot crossbow finally showed his ferocious side as a war weapon.

The metal crossbow arrows easily penetrated the bodies of the Turkic warriors. Their armor was not even considered as paper in front of ten consecutive rounds of powerful crossbows. The crossbow arrows caused a huge wound when it pierced the chest, and it was considered that it penetrated five or six people in a row. Stop!

After the unlucky guy was shot in the head, his head exploded, and red and white things splattered everywhere.

In front of ten consecutive rounds of powerful crossbows, these Turkic soldiers fell one after another like wheat blown by the wind. After the first round of firing, the thousands of Turks who had just rushed out of the city gate hole and who had not yet rushed out All the soldiers died immediately!

With such terrifying lethality, even Feng Li and other soldiers responsible for operating the ten-shot crossbow were stunned and turned pale.

The Turkic soldiers behind were still pouring into the city in a steady stream, and at least three hundred ten-shot crossbows were deployed on each side of the three city gates. They took turns firing volleys and loading arrows with each other, and they were closely connected. Incomparable.

The twenty-foot distance between the city gate and the defenders inside seemed to have turned into a chasm at this time, and it was difficult for them to cross it no matter what!

After tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured, the Turkic soldiers finally became afraid. They were not afraid of fighting with the enemy, but this was a meaningless death!It was a unilateral massacre by the White Robes!

They can't even get close to the enemy!

All the Turkic soldiers were crowded in the city gate. None of them dared to move forward. Their faces were full of indescribable horror.

Soldiers continued to flee outside the city, and they did not dare to pour into the city again.

The abnormal situation at the city gate cave also attracted the attention of Jieli Khan.

"What's going on! Why haven't so many soldiers captured the city wall yet?!"

Jieli Khan asked angrily.

At least 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers rushed into the city from three gates, but after so many soldiers rushed in, no city walls were captured.

He immediately sent Batulu to inquire about the situation, and the latter came back soon, his face pale.

"Khan, a terrible weapon was deployed in that city. All the soldiers we entered were shot and killed, and we couldn't rush in at all!"

Batulu said with a trembling voice. He just glanced inside from outside the city gate and was immediately frightened by the mountains of corpses inside.

The wounds on those corpses were so horrific that it made his heart tremble just looking at them.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Jieli Khan was furious and said with red eyes: "We have an army of 200,000, but we can't attack a Youzhou City with its gate open?!"

"Attack! Keep attacking me!"

"Khan! We can't continue the attack!"

Tuli Khan quickly advised, "Now all the slave soldiers are dead, and the casualties among the soldiers are close to 30,000. If we continue to fight like this, even if we capture Youzhou City, we will have to pay an unimaginable price!"

Now the Turkic army has been frightened by the ten consecutive powerful crossbows, and its morale is low. A forced attack will only bring more losses than gains.

Even if they abandon the city gate and continue to attack the city wall, the soldiers on the wall have already breathed a sigh of relief and regained their strength. It will be even more difficult to defeat them.

The other tribal leaders were also heartbroken. After all, those who died were warriors from their respective tribes, but their status was not as high as that of Tuli Khan, so they did not dare to dissuade him.

After hearing Tuli Khan's words, Jieli Khan calmed down a little. He looked behind the Youzhou city wall, which was so close but seemed so far away. Finally, with great reluctance, he ordered: "Ming Jin. …”

"withdraw troops!"..
