Following the roar of the beast, there was a sound of machine springs ringing among the fireworks at the top of the city, and along with the shrill whistling sound, dozens of four-foot-long broken branches flew out from the top of the city,
There was a burst of fire on the backs of the people who were running towards the outside of the city.
The bloody light suddenly appeared, and three or five flying figures were hit hard by the flying broken branches. The screams could be heard for several miles, and the whole person also flew into the air. After passing more than ten steps,
After being forked to the ground, the intestines and liver flowed downwards along the shaft. Soon, a small pool of blood with a radius of several steps around the body would appear. The death was extremely tragic.
Xu Chite's voice resounded loudly in all directions: "Don't run in a straight line, run in zigzags, fast."
Following his words, the hundreds of archers who had originally fled directly began to run in zigzags, going left and right, no longer going straight as before.
Another burst of crossbows was fired from the city, and dozens of broken spears once again flew out, shooting directly at the archers who were escaping outside. However, this time, none of the flying spears hit the zigzag archers. After all, outside the city,
The front is several miles wide, and it is not a siege force in a dense formation. More than a hundred archers are running in a circuitous way. It is not difficult to hit them.
Wang Miaoyin stretched her beautiful eyebrows and smiled slightly: "This Xu Chite is really very experienced. Although running this way is a little slower, it prevents the enemy from catching the route and unable to shoot directly. It can really
Save everyone’s lives. But why don’t the defenders use bows and arrows?”
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "The queen can see it clearly. Our archers did not approach the city wall, but only shot at the curtains. That means they were outside the range of the enemy's bows and arrows at the top of the city, and they were running at full speed. The ones at the top of the city were
Bows and arrows cannot shoot them, so we can only use the crossbow. But..."
Having said this, he shook his head: "I didn't expect that our Beifu Army's invincible weapon in the field, the eight-stone bull-running crossbow, was also learned by Zhang Gang and installed at the top of the city. It became a powerful weapon to kill our siege troops. These days
In the past few months, thousands of our soldiers have died under this crossbow machine."
Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "This is also an opportunity for Zhang Gang to atone for his sins. When he was in Nanyan, he made many sharp weapons to kill our soldiers. Now that they are here with us, we have to return them all. Inherited, Rongzu, we
Walk."
Xiao Chengzhi saluted quickly, followed Tan Shao, and trotted down the stage. Liu Rongzu saluted his father: "Dad, the child is gone."
Liu Huaishen helped him adjust his collar and patted his shoulder: "Go ahead and use all your skills. If you don't rush to Guanggu City, don't come back to see dad!"
As these people left, the commander's platform became quite empty. The generals and commanders who were still here all looked at Liu Yu. Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Everyone, when we attack the city, we must
Acting on the spur of the moment, although I arranged for Tan Shao to be the main attacker and gave him most of the siege weapons, we still have the largest number of troops on the front of the southern city, with 50,000 troops gathered here. If the enemy
If there is really a loophole in the defense, then we still have the best chance of breaking through the enemy city, Dazhuang, Mengniu, you don't have to worry, there will definitely be a chance for you to perform."
Kuai En and Ding Ao looked at each other, cupped their hands towards Liu Yu and said, "We will fight however the commander tells us to do. Now, Zhang Gang is still in the front, Brother A Shou and the others are also there. I'm afraid the first wave will hit."
Yes, it must be Brother Ashou and the others."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This Nancheng should also be where the enemy's main force is gathered. It is not so easy to break. Catapults and the like always have to hit each other back and forth many times. Now this curtain wall..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a strong wind blowing, and pieces of black flakes were flying back and forth on the Guanggu city wall. They were the embers of the burned curtains. While the black ash fell, rows of
Flying stones jumped over the burned-out curtain walls and hit the city head hard.
Those eight-bow crossbow machines that were firing at full strength just now are suffering now. In order to chase down the archers, more than ten eight-bow crossbow machines even pushed out of bunkers, giving a clear view of the city wall. And every time
The crossbows that had been locked in position were at least greeted by more than ten flying stones. After Zhang Gang's improvement, these catapults were not only more powerful, but also more accurate. They were thrown from a place three miles away and finally hit.
The error of the hit was no more than ten steps, and if ten stones were hit in succession, no one or the crossbow within a radius of twenty steps would be spared, and it would immediately turn into piles of bloody flesh and broken wood chips.
With the burning of the curtain wall, you can clearly see the top of the city. More than twenty trebuchets are also firing non-stop. The arms are raised and lowered, and stones are thrown out one after another, condescendingly hitting the outside of the city.
Three miles away, fifty or sixty trebuchets were lined up in a row, and the bombardment from the machines on both sides continued like this. However, the Jin army not only had an advantage in the number of trebuchets, but also had large shields and wooden platoons for protection.
Being able to accurately know the location of the trebuchets at the top of the opponent's city, after about half an hour of attacking them, there were fewer and fewer trebuchets at the top of the city, and the number of stones struck back was gradually sparse, and it was still possible to advance the army.
After firing ten stones, the city's top counterattacked with five or six stones. Gradually, when the Jin army fired ten stones, it was difficult for the city's top to counterattack with even two stones.
With a "Peng" sound, three or four more stones were fired in succession, hitting an arrow tower at the top of the city heavily. The arrow tower was broken from the middle, and the broken upper floor fell directly, falling high from the top of the city and beyond.
From the wall, you can clearly see two archers jumping out quickly, and the third guy just leaned out, and before he could jump down, he even took the arrow tower and fell to the bottom of the city. A burst of smoke and dust rose up. Look again.
When I arrived, I saw that this guy had been pinned down by a pile of broken wood, and blood was spurting from his mouth. How could he still be alive?
The front troops of the Jin army burst into cheers. The stone-throwing and bombardment had ended. There was little power to counterattack at the top of the city. Only the trebuchets of the Jin army were left, and they were bombarding the fortifications at the top of Nanyan City one by one.
Oars and towers were all destroyed one after another, and even many city wall buttresses were smashed by flying stones, breaking and falling. On the city wall, the defenders who were densely packed just now seemed to have disappeared, and it was not known whether they were smashed to death.
, or jumped down into the city to avoid the blow.
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Zhang Gang is indeed capable. The city defense that we could not destroy last time was almost wiped out in less than an hour. Marshal Liu, is it time to send out the army to attack the city wall?"
Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Send out the rush vehicles, towers, and attack the city wall!"
