Zhang He nodded. The reason why he kept the trebuchet stationary was actually to wait for Lu Bu's elite to come. Now that they are here, there is nothing to wait for.
"promise."
The messengers around him came directly to the other side of the city wall and began to convey Zhang He's orders.
"The general has the order, the trebuchet is launched."
"Your Majesty, I have them all, reload shotguns, target unit two, shoot five times in a row, and fire."
The captain received the order and gave it directly to the trebuchet beside him.
It turned out that Zhang He had ordered the trebuchets to conduct calibrated shooting long before Lu Bu's soldiers attacked. According to the shooting results, the city wall was divided into ten shooting units from near to far.
Depending on the distance, as long as the corresponding shooting unit is selected, the trebuchet unit can adjust the angle and power as quickly as possible to kill the enemy to the maximum extent.
The thirty trebuchets directly adjusted the angle of the trebuchets according to the captain's instructions, and then each began to launch shotguns.
The scattered bullets like dark clouds crossed the city wall and hit directly ten meters away from the city wall. The Yangzhou Army fully experienced the terrifying weapons in the Battle of Yangzhou. The Yangzhou Army gathered together was hit in pieces like wheat.
"No, the enemy has placed a trebuchet in the city. Order the soldiers to withdraw quickly."
Cao Xing, who was in charge of the battle in the front row, was stunned when he saw the trebuchet appear. He didn't expect that the enemy had even placed a trebuchet in the city. It was so insidious.
"Cannot withdraw."
When Lu Bu saw the enemy's trebuchet appearing, he immediately rode forward and stopped Cao Xing's order.
"General, the enemy has trebuchets. If we continue to attack our troops, we will suffer heavy losses."
Seeing Lu Bu stopping him, Cao Xing directly clasped his fist at Lu Bu. If he didn't withdraw his troops now, the soldiers under the city wall would only become living targets. This was too unfair to his own soldiers.
"You must continue to attack even if you suffer heavy losses. The enemy's trebuchets are there. No matter when you attack, you have to face them. Does it mean that today's attack has to face them, but tomorrow's attack does not need to face them?
Now that you withdraw your troops, the soldiers who died before were sacrificed in vain, and the carriages are almost reaching the city wall, so we have to fight even if we die."
Lu Bu glanced at the city wall in front of him. Withdrawing his troops now would mean that all the previous casualties were in vain. If the chariot was destroyed, their attack would have to be suspended and they would rebuild the chariot to attack.
"All right."
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Cao Xing could only nod his head, because what Lu Bu said made sense. Now the carriage was almost at the city wall. If he didn't fight hard, he would be sorry for so many dead soldiers.
"Beat the drum and continue to attack the city. The whole army will press forward. I will capture Yingdao City in one fell swoop."
Lu Bu directly ordered the entire army to attack, and all soldiers and horses attacked together. If they could not kill the city wall this time, then don't even think about attacking the city today.
"Beat the drums and attack with the whole army."
Naturally, there were messengers to pass on Lu Bu's instructions. After receiving the military order, the remaining 30,000 troops and the soldiers who had just withdrawn were also ready and rushed towards Yingdao City like a tide.
"General, the enemy's entire army is attacking. We need to take advantage of the carriage and fight with all our might."
The captain saw Lu Bujun's actions and came directly to report to Zhang He.
"A full-scale attack?
Order the trebuchets to continue the blockade, and first defeat the enemies below the city."
Zhang He naturally also saw the actions of Lu Bu's army. He knew that he had a trebuchet and was ready to fight with all his strength. However, he was not afraid. Not to mention your 70,000 troops, even if it was 100,000 or 200,000, he was confident that he would conquer this camp.
The city was defended to the death.
"Trebuchets continue blocking fire."
Zhang He believed that the biggest reliance he could hold on to was the thirty trebuchets. With these war machines in hand, the enemy would have to face shotgun attacks whether they were attacking or retreating, and would not be able to exert their due strength at all.
Lu Bu's army is now in such a situation. On the one hand, the soldiers under the city wall are unable to attack the city wall in the face of the suppression of the Jianzhong Army. On the other hand, although Lu Bu's army is all coming, they can break through the trebuchet blockade and support them.
There were only a few people under the city wall, and most of them were hit by shotguns and fell into a pool of blood.
"Click."
There was a loud noise, and a cart that was pushed into the trebuchet barrage was immediately smashed into pieces. The soldiers on top wailed and smashed to the ground along with the broken cart.
For a moment, their flesh and blood were blurred, blood spurted out, and countless soldiers died tragically on the spot.
"Keep rushing, don't worry, the longer you stay, the worse your death will be."
The military commander looked at the miserable scene, but he didn't even frown. Now is not the time to pity people, but to pity them the most. Then it will be others who pity him.
"Go, go, go."
"Hurry up, just rush through here."
"Yes, rush over, it will be safe in front."
Hearing the captain's words, the soldiers around him suddenly woke up from a dream and accelerated their charge forward, including the soldiers pushing the cart, who pushed forward with all their strength.
"Click."
There was another loud noise, and another building truck was directly smashed into pieces by stone bullets. From top to bottom, the ground was covered with casualties.
Fortunately, although two of the carts were damaged, three more carts managed to survive the trebuchets and were forced to approach the city wall.
Seeing that the truck in front of him was still strong despite being covered in scars, Zhang He nodded.
"Should we send a giant crossbow to destroy the carriage?"
Seeing the building cart approaching, the captain came directly to Zhang He and suggested that he use the city guard crossbow to knock out the building cart.
"Wait a minute and let them come over. I just want to weaken Lu Bu's energy. I also ordered the kerosene to be ready. After a while, listen to my order and burn the building to the ground. I want his soldiers to come and go.
No."
Now, of course, you can use the city defense crossbow to destroy the enemy's chariots, but if the chariots are destroyed, there is no hope of taking Yingdao City. Lu Bu will definitely order the withdrawal of troops directly.
If the carriages were allowed to approach the city wall now, Lu Bu would definitely use the tactics of filling oil bottles and continuously send people to climb the city wall through the carriages.
When it is almost done, burn the buildings and carts with fire. This will not only ensure the safety of Yingdao City, but also kill Lu Bu's soldiers and horses as much as possible, the best of both worlds.
"General, isn't it a bit too risky to do this? The carriage is no better than a ladder. If the carriage approaches the city wall, I'm afraid there will be too many enemies rushing up."
This is the rule of the Jizhou Army. Even if Zhang He is the commander-in-chief of the army, his subordinates can raise questions if they have questions. Although Zhang He has no need to listen, the captain still has to say what he should say.
"It's okay, I have a sense of proportion. Our role is not only to defend Yingdao City, but also to kill Lu Bu's troops as much as possible, create opportunities for the military advisor and General Zilong, and strive to capture Lu Bu in one fell swoop."
Zhang He glanced at the captain who made the suggestion, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Ever since he took the initiative to take over the task of defending the camp road, he began to plan how to maximize the role of the camp road city.
Now these three carriages are the best opportunity. As soon as Lu Bu's troops are almost here, he will set fire to the carriages, ensuring that Lu Bu will suffer a big loss.
"promise."
Although Zhang He can completely ignore the captain, the Jizhou Army has always had a tradition of supporting subordinates and focusing on the cultivation of talents. The better the subordinates are, the less worry they will have when they become the commander-in-chief.
After receiving Zhang He's military order, all the giant crossbows that were originally planned to be launched were hidden. Now is not the time.
The truck that did not receive special care also successfully reached the edge of the city wall. As the planks were put down, the soldiers who were already ready jumped directly onto the city wall and began to attack the Jianzhong Army.
"Defense, spearmen, drive them down."
Seeing that the enemy had already climbed up the city wall through the carriages, a captain screamed loudly and directly commanded the troops to attack Lu Bu's army.
As soon as each of Lu Bu's troops climbed onto the city wall, they were stabbed down by spears from all directions. Even so, soldiers of Lu Bu's army got through the suppression of shotguns, passed the carriages, climbed the city wall and attacked Jianzhong's troops.
"General, we're going to kill you. We're going to kill Lou Che."
Seeing that the carriages arrived at the city wall smoothly, the soldiers also began to attack the city wall through the carriages. Cao Xing reported directly to Lu Bu.
"wrong."
Lu Bu was observing the battle from a distance, but his brows furrowed tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Song Xian stood beside Lu Bu. The situation could be said to be very good now. The carriages arrived at the city wall, and his soldiers had a steady stream of opportunities to attack the city wall. He had an army of 70,000, but the opposite side only had 30,000 people. Even if there were two
If it were another one, they would have to replace this Camp Daocheng.
"It just doesn't feel right. This attack is a bit too simple and easy. Logically speaking, it's not that easy for the truck to get close to the city wall. Not to mention their trebuchets, they should have the giant crossbows used to defend the city. I'm thinking about these weapons.
There should still be a chance to destroy the truck, why didn't they use it?"
Lu Bu looked at the battlefield in front of him, a light flashing in his eyes.
"My lord, what you are saying is that this is most likely a plan by the enemy to get our trucks close to the city wall, and then use the oil-filling tactic to send soldiers up the city wall to die. When it is almost done, he will find a way to destroy it.
The carriages on the road made our people trapped and die on the city wall."
Song Xian is not a fool. Although he didn't notice it just now, when Lu Bu reminded him, he immediately realized that this was the enemy's trick.
"Kerosene, it must be kerosene. He will definitely use kerosene to burn down the building and the truck later, and he will withdraw his troops immediately."
Lu Bu originally thought it was too simple, but now after hearing Song Xian's words, he immediately understood the enemy's thoughts. He was sweating all over for a while, and directly ordered the troops to retreat.
"Quick, quick, quick, call the gold and withdraw the troops."
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Song Xian also noticed it and immediately ordered the soldiers to pay gold and retreat.
There was a loud roar of gold for a while, and Lu Bujun, who was attacking, was a little confused when he heard the sound. Logically speaking, they had the advantage now, so why did his general have to retreat with the golden roar?
Although I don’t know the reason, since the military order is issued, no one dares to disobey it.
"withdraw."
One by one, the captains looked at the city wall in front of them unwillingly and began to retreat backwards.
"Lu Bu is Lu Bu after all. The kerosene burns the chariots. The soldiers with swords and shields surround and annihilate the enemies on the city wall. The archers shoot arrows to my death."
