Chapter 367: City Breakdown

With the players' large-scale siege equipment in place, the players prepared to launch a general attack regardless of whether it was still dark or not.

Although it was still dark, people had to attack with torches, which caused great inconvenience to the players.

However, the night also gave them cover, reducing casualties before players climbed the city wall. So players didn't care whether it was at night or not.

"Advance!" A player in charge, holding a shield in one hand, directed other players to push up the large siege tower.

The huge siege tower is far higher than the city wall of the West City.

This kind of siege tower was made by players. It would have taken hundreds of years for this thing to appear, but due to the presence of players, it came out ahead of schedule.

There are three pairs of large wooden wheels that are as tall as a person. Above them is a huge platform, and above the platform is a tower made entirely of logs.

On the outside of the tower, there are cooked cowhide and iron shields, which can effectively isolate the crossbow arrows and fire from the defenders.

It is basically impossible to burn it down.

Moreover, due to its large base, it increases its stability.

It is impossible to use a large crossbow and launch a chained crossbow to bring him down.

What's more, on the top of the siege tower, there is a group of players who are bending their bows and shooting arrows at the top of the city to suppress the defenders.

Therefore, as far as the defenders on the West City side are concerned, there is absolutely no way to prevent the siege tower from approaching.

In the distance, there are hundreds of large trebuchets, also known as return guns.

The height of this thing alone is over twelve meters, and there is a huge counterweight cabin at the bottom, which contains huge rocks for counterweight.

There are more than thirty players responsible for controlling a trebuchet. These players first used the winch next to the trebuchet to raise the counterweight cabin.

Then use a huge log to block it, then put the stones that need to be overdrawn into the net bag, and finally use a wooden hammer to knock out the stuck log to achieve throwing.

If the weight of the stone that the catapult used by players before was 1, then the weight of the stone that this catapult can throw is 10.

If such a heavy boulder hits the target, it will be devastating.

As long as you give this trebuchet enough time, he can break open any wall no matter how strong it is.

Isn't this just a huge boulder, tied to hay, doused with kerosene, set alight, and then thrown out?

It drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and hit the wall of the West City directly.

With a bang, people near the landing point felt the city wall under their feet shaking, and they even felt their legs go numb.

When the soldiers guarding the city were still in shock, they looked up at the landing point and found that the originally complete female wall had been smashed into a huge gap.

As for the Hanzhong soldiers near the gap, they had long been hit by the huge stone. They only saw a large blood stain near that section of the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the Hanzhong soldiers all felt their scalps go numb.

What the hell is this? Why is it so powerful?

However, what made them feel even more desperate was that they looked up and looked outside the city, and suddenly found hundreds of fireballs, more similar to the ones just now, coming towards them.

After a series of roars, the wall of the West City already seemed to be crumbling after just this round.

There are cracks in many places. It is estimated that after one or two more rounds, this side of the city wall will collapse.

Fortunately, at this time, the siege towers that originally seemed to be a great threat have advanced to the vicinity of the city wall.

At this time, it is impossible for the players behind to continue throwing boulders at the risk of hitting one of their own.

After seeing that the players outside the city had no intention of continuing to use catapults, the defenders of the West City finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead of facing terrifying siege equipment like catapults, they suddenly felt that fighting the enemy hand-to-hand was a good thing.

Because although the enemy soldiers were very powerful, they at least still had a chance to fight. Facing that kind of slingshot, they really had no idea of ​​resisting at all.

Seeing that the players' siege towers were approaching the city wall, the captain of the Hanzhong Army immediately ordered his soldiers to line up and prepare to fight.

At this time, the first siege tower approached the city wall, and then the plank directly in front was lowered and smashed against the city wall.

This wooden board is also specially made. There is a row of hooks on the top. When the wooden board is lowered, these hooks directly hook the city wall, making it impossible for the soldiers guarding the city to lift the wooden board.

Then, the players who had been waiting for a long time lined up in a neat queue, held up their shields, and rushed towards the city wall.

Of course, the Hanzhong soldiers responsible for defending the city will not just wait for the players to attack.

They had already organized a group of archers, and when the wooden boards were lowered, these archers kept firing arrows at the players.

The player, on the other hand, has long known that when the board is lowered, he will definitely face a rain of arrows from the enemy.

So those at the front were still a group of players wearing heavy armor, and with the shields in their hands, most of the arrows were ineffective against them, not even scratching the itch.

The Hanzhong military lieutenant in charge saw that the players ranked heavy armor at the front, and they also knew that there was basically no need to think about shooting through them.

Therefore, the captain immediately ordered the archers to shoot past the heavy armor targets in the front row and directly shoot at the light armor targets in the back.

This time, the effect was obvious. Many players were hit by arrows, fell from the towering siege tower, and turned into a white light again.

However, the number of players who fell down was always a small number, and there were still a large number of players who successfully rushed to the city wall.

At this point, the power of these heavily armored players was revealed.

They all gave up the shields in their hands and replaced them with heavy weapons such as two-handed axes and maces.

Their attack method is also very simple, that is, they grasp the weapon with both hands and then spin it vigorously.

Each one is like a small top, spinning and spinning without listening.

The Hanzhong soldiers nearby wanted to go up and fight, but as a result, they were either cut into two pieces by the giant ax in the player's hand, or their skulls were cracked by the mace.

Red and white, scattered all over the floor.

Soon, these soldiers who were defending the city were killed by the players. They were so frightened that they kept retreating.

But once they retreat, many players will attack the city.

In this way, the Hanzhong Army's activity space at the top of the city was constantly squeezed by the players. In the end, the players were driven directly off the city wall.

Yang Ren looked at the soldiers who were retreating, and he knew that the West City had been broken, and he had no way to stop the player's army.

At this moment, he wanted to die to thank Zhang Lu for his kindness, but he knew that if he really died, Zhang Lu would also be destined to be captured.
