The reason for making such an adjustment was Li Jing's helpless move. There were too few artillery pieces. Three artillery pieces were too few to stick to one place. In his opinion, only a salvo of five artillery pieces could be quite powerful.

Now it seems that his idea was right.

After being fired upon by five volleys of artillery fire, the alien army, which had been filled with excitement and rushed to the front, suddenly became confused.

Although they are passionate, although they want to achieve great achievements, although they want to have a full stomach, they are still afraid of death. There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death.

Yesterday, the reason why we fought so hard and were not afraid of the impact of death was that on the one hand we were starving to death because we were not full, and on the other hand there were not enough artillery pieces, and what the artillery bombarded was not these alien armies, but the crossbows at the rear.

hand!

But today, Li Jing changed his tactics and used artillery to bombard the charging aliens at the beginning of the battle.

But some people may ask again, there are five cannons on the north and west walls, but what about the east wall?

In order to maintain balance, Li Jing mobilized some of the crossbowmen from the north and west to the east wall.

Not only that, the east city wall is equipped with twice as many wooden knots as the north and west walls. With so many wooden knots, it can be regarded as making up for the pressure of no artillery suppression!

Of course, the east wall also has a disadvantage, that is, the range of artillery is much longer than that of crossbowmen.

Although the crossbowmen can shoot with wooden knots tied to them and kill the enemy, the original shooting range has become much closer because of the wooden knots attached.

After all, the weight of wooden knots is not small. Fortunately, for this reason, Li Jing mobilized a lot of crossbow carts on the east wall. The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow carts are much farther than the arrows fired by the crossbowmen, and the arrows are tied

There are also many more wooden knots, which can have a certain effect of cannonballs.

There were also too few ballistas, which were equivalent to the number of artillery pieces. The reason why they had not been taken out before was because Li Jing had not thought of this, but it was not too late to make adjustments in time.

The crossbow arrows of the ballista were also fired immediately. The arrows were fired after the artillery fire. Naturally, the range could not be compared with that of the artillery. Naturally, the distance left had to be closer to the city wall before the action could be taken.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was another loud bang, but this time it was outside the east city wall.

It is true that the power of wooden knots is not as good as that of artillery, but the power is not enough to make up for the lack of numbers.

The crater it created was no smaller than a cannon.

However, the reason why artillery is so powerful is because there are many iron beads and pieces of iron in the shells. These are waste materials from iron smelting, which were developed and utilized by Luo Zhang.

After such a cannonball is fired, in addition to the fire caused by the explosion of gunpowder, there are also iron beads. The iron fragments will be fired out as the cannonball explodes, just like bullets fired from the barrel of a gun.

Although it is not as fast as a bullet, it is impossible to guard against at close range!

For a time, the aliens on the east wall also suffered heavy casualties and fell to the ground wailing.

Similarly, the aliens on the east wall also became chaotic, similar to the situation on the north and west walls.

Seeing this scene and hearing the news from the other two city walls, Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. His decision was indeed a bit risky. There were no artillery on the east wall, which was very dangerous. Although the ballistae was also good, its stimulation

It is too slow. Every time a crossbow is fired, several people have to work there to draw the bow string. It is not as convenient and fast as artillery!

Fortunately, the first wave had a good effect, completely intimidating the foreigners of the Western Turks. This also gave the east wall time to draw the bowstring and load the second crossbow.

Li Ji knew about this, and it was what Li Jing ordered him to do, but the other generals didn't know. After seeing the situation on their respective city walls, they realized that today's battle was different.

Yuchi Jingde on the west side grinned happily. Five artillery pieces were placed on his west wall. Now there was hope that the west side could be defended.

Niu Jinda in the east looked a little unhappy after hearing the news.

For no other reason, why can he only use a ballista but not an artillery piece? This doesn’t make sense!

But now, it was not easy for him to question Li Jing. He could only withstand the Western Turks' attack first.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Jing did this secretly. If everyone is anxious to discuss this matter, I don’t know what the fight will be like. It is just a waste of time. It is better to make the decision. Even if you want to go back on it, you will not have the chance.
