With the command in hand, Guan Yu was not idle and directly ordered the interception net to be prepared to guard against the stone bullets of the trebuchet.
As Yuan Shu's old rival, Liu Bei knew Yuan Shu's offensive methods very well, so he had already made preparations. Not only did he make many interception nets, he also prepared soft shields and trebuchets to counter Yuan Shu, and he was determined to defend the city wall to the death.
.
The trebuchet troops were assembled quickly, and thirty trebuchets were installed under each of the two northeastern city walls.
"Fire again, calibrate, and reload."
"put."
Heavy bombs were fired one after another, flying across the void and towards the city walls on both sides.
"Interception network, rise."
Seeing the stone bombs coming, Guan Yu directly ordered the interceptor net to be raised to intercept the incoming heavy bombs.
The heavy bombs flying one after another were directly blocked by the spider web-like interception net.
"Soft shield ready, defense."
After the heavy bombs were intercepted, it was time to switch to shotguns. Guan Yu knew these tricks very well, so he ordered the soft shields to step forward without hesitation, preparing to meet the coming rain of shotguns.
Guan Yu's side fought vigorously, but Meng Huo's side was different. When had they ever seen such a powerful siege equipment? Hundreds of kilograms of stones could fly from such a distance and hit the city wall.
This seemed like a miracle to them,
At one time, among the 30,000 barbarians, in addition to the dozen or so people who were crushed to death, more than ten times that number were trampled to death. It must be said that it was indeed extremely ironic.
"Your Majesty, how do you fight this and this?"
Dong Tanu looked at the Nanman people who died tragically under the stone bullets, with fear of the enemy in his eyes.
Although Meng Huo was the king of the Southern Barbarians, he was no better than Dong Tanu in terms of knowledge. The existence of these trebuchets was far beyond his imagination.
Originally, he thought that he could rely on the bravery of the Nanman soldiers to defend the city wall, but now he was skeptical about his original idea.
"Hold on, you must hold on to the city wall, don't panic."
Although Meng Huo now has a headache, he knows that one thing is necessary, that is, he must defend the city wall no matter what.
Although Meng Huo's order was issued, the Nanman soldiers on the city wall could not calm down. None of them who should be panic did not run away, and they all continued to panic.
"It seems that Liu Bei didn't tell the barbarians about his experience in fighting with us. Let's change the ammunition and let these barbarians see what the power of a great country is."
Yan Liang glanced at the unprepared Nanman soldiers, couldn't help but smile, and then ordered the trebuchet to be loaded with shotguns, letting these Nanman soldiers jump on their heads one by one.
"The general has ordered, change to shotguns, fire ten rounds."
Yan Liang's order was passed directly to the trebuchet troops, and the trebuchet commander also directly followed Yan Liang's order and ordered the trebuchet troops to change their ammunition.
"put."
With an order, thirty trebuchets were activated at the same time, and countless shotguns were pressed towards the east city wall like dark clouds covering the sun.
"Shield."
"defense."
Seeing the oncoming shotguns, Meng Huo could only let out a shrill roar and warned his soldiers to defend themselves.
Shields were erected on the top of the city, and the barbarian soldiers lined up in rows. They could only rely on these simple shields to resist the rain of bullets falling from the sky.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The rain of bullets fell to the ground, like rain hitting banana trees, and the city walls and shields were smashed with a bang. Countless southern barbarian soldiers were directly hit by the bullets with their heads bruised and bleeding, and fell on the city wall.
Even Meng Huo's general, Mong Ya Chang, fell to the bullets. His head was smashed with a huge hole, and there was a lot of blood under his body, dyeing his clothes blood-red.
"Your Majesty, Master Mangya has been knocked down."
Soon some barbarians reported to Meng Huo.
"Trash, carry him down here."
Meng Huo couldn't help but feel angry when he heard that Fen Ya Chang had been knocked down. You were such a good general, but you fell before the battle even started. How unlucky you are.
The rain of bullets continued to hit, and the east city defended by the Nanman was a Shura field. Although the Guan Yu tribe in the north was in a bit of a panic, the losses were not that big because of the advance preparations.
"Ladders and chariots are prepared to attack the city."
Looking at the extremely panicked Nanman people, Yan Liang had nothing to hesitate and directly ordered the ladder truck and five-frame truck that had been prepared to move towards the city wall.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
The war drums blasted instantly, and Dongcheng's troops also began to follow the ladders and carriages to launch a general attack.
"The enemy is coming. Their shotguns are about to stop. Please cheer up and prepare to let them know the strength of our tribe."
Seeing Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses coming up to kill him, Meng Huo's orders were given directly to the southern barbarian soldiers. When these southern barbarian soldiers heard these words, they calmed down and began to prepare for defensive operations.
"The trebuchets continue to hit me. The enemy thinks that the trebuchets will stop when our infantry comes up. This is a good time for the barbarians to see what coordinated operations are."
Yan Liang glanced at the calm soldiers on the city wall, and with a slight twist of his lips, he gave the order to the trebuchet beside him to continue dropping bombs.
"Trebuchet, shotgun, release."
The trebuchet captain directly ordered the trebuchet to continue firing shotguns.
When the dark clouds of scattered bullets appeared again at the top of Mianzhu City, the Nanman people completely collapsed.
"That bastard said that the enemy infantry is coming up and the trebuchet will stop."
"I'm convinced. I can't beat them, and I'm so stubborn."
"That's right, why don't you surrender? I don't want to fight."
Complaining voices were heard on the city walls, and for a while the morale of the Southern Barbarians fell to the bottom.
The Polu Army and the main force of the First Ascension Army finally arrived at the foot of Mianzhu City. Ladder trucks were mounted directly on the city wall and began to attack the city wall.
"Trebuchet paused."
Seeing the troops starting to attack the city wall, the trebuchet captain directly stopped the trebuchet.
"Stop, stop, let me kill them."
Meng Huo saw the trebuchets in the sky and stopped attacking. He came out from his hiding place and ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle.
But now the Southern Barbarians have been completely stunned. Except for a few die-hard Meng Huo who obeyed orders, how could the rest of the large army still take Meng Huo's orders into account?
They all hid behind the wall and remained motionless, not daring to stand up to resist. Otherwise, if someone fired another shot, who the hell would be able to withstand it.
The soldiers of the Polu army climbed up quickly like monkeys climbing trees with steel knives between their teeth. The city wall that was several meters high could reach the end in an instant.
"kill."
Meng Huo was invincible even with his two-blade axe. Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the Polu army were cut into two pieces. Even the ladders they used to climb the city wall showed no resistance at all and were cut off directly by the iron hooks.
, climb down the city wall.
Meng Huo was brave, and so were several of his generals. No matter how brave the Polu army was, they were still powerless to face them when they first climbed up the city wall.
There is one person here who is extremely dazzling, that is Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong. The so-called women are not inferior to men, but that's it. She has a flying knife in her hand. Anyone who is targeted by her will be stabbed in the throat, or
He was stabbed in the face and died an unexpected death.
"Brother, Meng Huo is a bit unstoppable."
Guan Yu was always paying attention to the condition of Menghuo's city wall. He once thought that the Nanman soldiers would rebel against him, but he never imagined that these Nanman soldiers were like silver-like wax spear heads and would be killed before they could even carry Yuan Shu's three-blade axe.
Up the city wall.
"What do you want?"
Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu.
"I suggest that we immediately send 10,000 troops with interception nets and soft shields to Dongcheng to support Meng Huo's battle."
Guan Yu took a look at the situation on the east city wall and couldn't help but express deep worry. After all, if the Nanman people could not defend it, Mianzhu would be doomed.
"Then send people over. Remember to make the soldiers cautious and not to conflict with the southern barbarians. Otherwise, the people we send over may have the opposite effect. Instead, they will help Yuan Shu's troops occupy the entire east city.
Send Jingzhou soldiers over."
Liu Bei also knew that Dongcheng was now in a state of collapse. If he did not send troops and horses to support them, they would probably be defeated directly.
But if people are sent there, the Yizhou soldiers are likely to conflict with the Nanman people. If a problem does arise, it will be over.
"Brother, if the Jingzhou Army is mobilized, what should we do here?
If these Yizhou soldiers rebel, it will all be over by then."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu also understood that the current adjustment of Yizhou's troops might have caused racial conflicts with the Nanman people in the past. After all, the hatred between the two sides had lasted for hundreds of years, and it was impossible to resolve it easily.
There was no problem in the past when the Jingzhou Army was mobilized, but if the Jingzhou Army went to Dongcheng and the Yizhou Army in Beicheng was no longer suppressed by the Jingzhou Army, problems that could not be imagined would probably arise.
"We can't control that much anymore. No matter whether we lose the East City or the North City, Mianzhu can't defend it. We can block it for a while."
