Chapter 529: Flying rocks attack the Qin camp

PreviousBack to directoryNext
With Liu Yu's first attack, the Beifu Army formation, which had stood still like a mountain, suddenly scattered into hundreds of small squares, and then changed from horizontal formation to column, forming a torrent of steel, following Liu Yu closely.

Yu and others rushed behind the leading troops and rushed onto the embankment on the shore.

Fu Rong was stationed on a small slope outside Shouchun City. He was directing his men to retreat a few hundred steps away from the shore and into the temporary camp fence set up. As soon as his order was given, he would be

Dozens or hundreds of messengers speaking different languages ​​repeated the story, and then quickly turned to the armies of various tribes. After a while, they saw these armies retreating noisily, and the Di tribe's headquarters

The army was dragged at the end, covered by strong bow and shield formations, and behind these tens of thousands of Di troops were hundreds of thousands of troops of various tribes that were retreating across the board, at varying speeds, and the order was not too good, and thanks to the strength of each tribe

The chiefs and chiefs have also been in battle for a long time, so they will not collapse at this time.

Next to Fu Rong was the brave general Mao Dang. He frowned and whispered: "Mr. Yang Ping, is our retreat a bit too hasty? We should let the foreign troops behind retreat first, and after they have finished,

If our Di troops withdraw again, chaos will easily arise."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Fu Rong's lips: "This is how I want to lure the Jin army to attack! We saw the chaos, and they also saw it. Look at Xie Xuan playing the harp on the mountain, using the sound of the harp as a signal, and he will attack across the board. As long as we see the chaos, they will also see it.

When they rush onto the pontoon, hehe, they will know how stupid they are!"

Before he finished speaking, the Jin army had already launched an attack across the entire front. Mao Dang exclaimed: "Here we come, the Jin army is charging!"

A cold light flashed in Fu Rong's eyes, and he raised his right arm high, with his five fingers together, and his palm was like a knife, and he cut it off fiercely: "The Jin army will not be able to cross the river so quickly, guard against their stone throws."

car!"

At the same time, more than 200 catapults of the Jin army had been transported fifty steps to the river. The slingers were hurriedly removing the wheels from under the catapults, and then quickly fixing the catapults to prevent them from hurling stones.

Shaking and sideways movement will occur during the process. A slight difference in angle here may cause a rock to hit your own head, and you will not be able to cry at all.

In just one cup of hot tea, more than 200 catapults were already in place. A large cart was parked next to each cart, which was piled with large and small stones. The largest one looked about

Seven or eight kilograms, and the small ones are pieces of pebbles. There are no big mountains beside Feishui River. The trees used to build trebuchets can transport large logs from behind, but these thrown stones cannot be obtained nearby. On the west bank of Feishui River,

All the cobblestones were plundered by Jin army craftsmen. This move puzzled the Qin people yesterday, and only now did they understand that its purpose was for today's stone throwing storm.

On the commander's platform of the Beifu Army's center and front troops, Liu Laozhi watched the catapults by the river being prepared one after another, their arms hanging down one after another, and the catapults were already piled with large and small stones.

He nodded and said in a deep voice to Liu Jingxuan beside him: "Order, throw stones!"

The flag in Liu Jingxuan's hand was raised high, and this time it spun three and a half times in the air before suddenly falling down.

As his command flag fell fiercely, the weights hanging from the front ends of the more than 200 catapults in front also fell almost simultaneously. The front end of the force arm hit the ground hard, and the rear end containing stones

The force arm drew a huge arc and flew into the sky. The large and small stones contained in the sling trough also escaped from the sling trough one after another, crossed the Feishui River, and headed towards the Qin army fifty steps away by the river.

flies in the array.

The sky was filled with large and small stones flying. Since more than 200 catapults were concentrated on this ten-mile-wide front, there was one almost thirty steps away, which exceeded the safe distance between catapults.

, many of the stones thrown came into close contact with each other in the air. About two-thirds of the stones were thrown across the river, and the other third of the stones were either not strong enough, or they were in close contact with each other in the air.

Other stones hit each other, and with a "plop-plop" sound, they fell into the Feishui. White water columns shot up into the sky, and even many fish in the river jumped in fright, and some simply

He jumped directly to the two banks. Looking from a distance, on the opposite bank, there was a piece of white fish belly.

But there were still many stones falling into the Qin army's camp. Following the orders from the Qin camp, thousands of large wooden rafts tied together with arm-thick wood erected one after another, like giant umbrellas.

The ground was supported on the heads of the 30,000 archers in the front row, forming huge sky nets to protect the safety of the archers, while the shield soldiers were like pillars, with their hands raised

, carrying those wooden rafts, holding up a sky for themselves and for the archers.

The sound of "crackling" was heard endlessly, and from time to time, heavier stones were hit, making the several shield bearers holding the wooden raft unable to stand. They vomited blood and fell to the ground. As long as one person fell, this piece of

A piece of the upright raft would collapse, exposing the dozen or so archers under the raft, and then a barrage of rocks would follow. If these dozen archers had not rolled over to other rafts in time, they would have collapsed.

If you get down in the row, you will be beaten to pieces by these stones and your flesh and blood will be mutilated, and you will die.

Waves of cheers erupted from the Jin army. When each catapult fired, the soldiers of the adjacent Jin army always raised their long spears in their hands and roared: "Wind! Wind! Wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"

Strong wind!"

The Jin army's stone attack was indeed like a violent storm, pouring continuously towards the opposite side. The wooden rafts were constantly being knocked down and crooked, and the people in the opposite camp who were hit were dying screams, and the injured were screaming.

The rolling and groaning sounds were clearly transmitted here, making the slingers of the Jin army even more excited. Regardless of the severe cold in early spring, they sweated profusely and made firing actions again and again.

Qin Fang, on the high slope, Fu Rong was smiling, looking at the front that was being beaten and shaking, but basically most of the shield array was held high, nodded slightly, and looked to the side with a gloomy face.

Mao Dang said: "General Mao, have you seen that the catapults of the Jin army cannot break our wooden shield array?"

There was no smile on Mao Dang's face. He shook his head and said: "But, now we only get beaten and don't attack. After all, it's not an option. After all, human power will never be able to defeat the power of these machines. As time goes by,

The shoulders of the sergeants who carry the wooden platoon will always be sore, and they may not be able to carry it for another half an hour."
