Finally, many heavy infantrymen with their bodies covered with arrows were knocked down by stones. Even though they were wearing iron armor and bronze helmets, they could protect themselves from the rain of arrows, but they could not protect themselves from the flying rocks on the city wall.
Those who were hit on the head had their brains exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they fell down on the spot.
The sergeants in the armored phalanx began to raise their shields, forming an airtight protective wall above their heads. Stones were smashed up, making a "bang bang" sound. Occasionally, a few unlucky guys would be hit.
Even people and shields were knocked down, but overall there was no loosening or change in the formation.
There was a sound of horns in the armored cubes. The cubes that were originally grouped together suddenly dispersed. Hundreds of heavy infantrymen holding crossbows raised their heads towards the city and pulled the triggers in their hands. They pulled the triggers several times. In an instant,
, hundreds or even thousands of crossbow arrows roared across the sky and flew up to the top of the city.
More than fifty militiamen who had just leaned out of the city were hit in the face and neck by the wave of crossbow bolts. Many people died directly at the crenellations of the city wall. The stones they were carrying fell down feebly.
It just hit him on the head, just like breaking open a watermelon, red and white liquid erupted, and a bloody smell filled the air.
The militiamen at the top of the city were thrown into chaos by this sudden wave of attacks. Liang Cheng saw it clearly and said sternly: "Quick, send the order, the archers will attack the top of the city. Now, twenty rounds of rapid fire!"
The Qin army's archers, after passing by the armored heavy infantry phalanx, returned to a place fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall. There were no other infantry around at this time, and they formed a standard three-line bow and arrow line again.
After hearing the order from the rear, all the archers drew their bows and loaded arrows as quickly as possible, quickly fired arrows at the city head, then picked up the next arrow again, pulled and released again.
Screams were heard one after another at the top of the city. This time, it was not the straw men in armor who were hit by arrows, but living people. These militiamen wearing leather armor or even civilian clothes were completely unable to withstand the continuous powerful crossbows.
Mixed blows with rifles and bows, many fell down in the rain of arrows. They didn't bother to throw stones at the city. The living people quickly picked up the shields around them and put them on their heads. At the same time, they squatted down and hugged tightly.
They stood on the battlements to avoid the attacks of these bows and arrows.
Another burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and from the corridors on both sides, more than a thousand Shouchun infantrymen in iron armor ran up urgently. In their hands, they all held iron bars, maces and other hammers.
Type weapons, almost no long swords, dense rain of arrows hit them, leaving a lot of arrows on the armor on their shoulders and chests, but few of them could penetrate the armor directly. These armored warriors, even
There is no need to pull out these arrow branches, just pull out the waist knife beside you and cut off the arrow branches with a swing, leaving only a short section still on your armor.
The armored phalanx under the city also began to take action. Dozens of specially made, widened and reinforced ladders were erected to the top of the city. These ladders were different from the simple ladders climbed by the light infantry before. The ladder heads all had
When he grabbed the hook and put it up on the city wall, he hooked it on the city wall. Even with two steel forks, it was difficult to push it down the city wall at once. However, the heavy infantry of the Qin army under the city were pushing against it.
Holding a shield, holding a sword in his mouth, shouting slogans, he crawled towards the top of the city in an orderly manner.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Give me the golden soup!"
The general's words were orders, and a foul smell came. Several large pots of hot, boiling dung juice, that is, golden soup and boiling oil, were carried to the top of the city. Just as the Qin army's heavy infantry climbed halfway down the city
, these soldiers carrying the golden soup were protected by dense shields. When they climbed to the top of the city, the shields were already covered with arrows, but they themselves were unscathed. Following the order, these soldiers
The sergeants threw the entire large iron cauldron, along with dozens of kilograms of hot golden soup in the pot, directly down the city and poured it onto the armored phalanx with a radius of a hundred steps below the city.
More than a dozen pots of golden soup were poured down at the same time, and a series of blood-curdling screams finally rang out from the city. No matter how strong the protection was, no matter how hard the armor was, it was impossible to prevent such an attack of boiling oil. Two to three hundred armored infantrymen gave these
The golden soup poured all over the head and body, and the hands, face, neck, etc. that could not be protected by the iron armor immediately began to fester. Some people's eyeballs were so hot that they popped out and rolled around on the ground.
Go, howling miserably, and even bringing down many of the surrounding companions. The originally neat and orderly armored phalanx also appeared in a small state of chaos.
At the same time, many of the heavy infantrymen of the Qin army who climbed the city reached the top of the city. They threw away the shields in their hands, picked up the swords in their mouths, jumped directly from the ladder, and wanted to use the sword wheel to attack the city.
Wu Lai killed all the enemies he encountered, but what caught their eyes were the heavy armored infantrymen of the Jin army who were also wearing heavy armor, wearing evil ghost masks, and holding iron rods, copper hammers and maces.
The dull sounds of swords and sticks hitting each other kept coming and going. Although the two-handed sword could easily split the leather armor and mail armor of ordinary soldiers, it had no advantage in front of the heavy iron rods and copper hammers. On the contrary, these blunt weapons
After hitting the heavy infantry's armor, it can create a crater in the armor, break the bones inside, and damage the internal organs.
In addition, the Qin Army's heavy infantrymen who jumped into the city were only a hundred or so, but there were more than a thousand Jin Army's Shouchun heavy armored infantry at the top of the city. They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Often, as soon as a person jumped down, he would be killed.
At the same time, he was attacked by more than five hammers. Before they could hit anyone, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken. Then, the strong men threw down the city with their armor and body.
These human bodies, which weighed more than two hundred kilograms even with armor, were now more useful than stones. They were thrown into the iron armor square below the city and smashed one by one into the city wall, which was more than one foot and five feet high.
Although it is not unattainable, if something weighing more than 200 kilograms is dropped from this height, it can still kill someone. In addition, these heavy armored infantry have outstanding protection, but they are not flexible. Sometimes they can clearly see something above their heads.
Things fell, but there was no time to dodge. Several people were hit by such a large weight of iron and were thrown together. Many of them were crushed to death.
The armored warriors fought fiercely at the top of the city, and the lightly-armed militiamen who had recovered their breath did not mind. At this time, the Qin army's bow and arrow shooting also became stagnant as their own heavy infantry rushed to the top of the city.
The militiamen who had been hiding by the city wall just now, like taking shelter from the rain, raised their heads. They picked up the nearest stones and threw them directly down the city without leaning out. Anyway, the iron armored phalanx was still there, so as long as they threw
If you go down, you can hit someone.
