Prince of Qi Ranged Artillery

Multiple Bolt Crossbow

At a glance, this siege weapon appears to be the simple crossbow, yet bigger than before – and far, far more powerful. Its ten-foot long bolts, when fired, are powerful enough to cleave through ranks of soldiery, and thus are devastating against enemy lines.

Loading more than one bolt per crossbow requires a significant amount more effort and reduces the accuracy of the weapon. However, when firing indiscriminately into advancing enemy lines, accuracy is secondary – by an order of magnitude – to raw destructive power.
