Five hundred flaming crossbow arrows struck through the air again, this time with high accuracy. The three towers were directly shot and began to burn.
The worst one among them was directly shot through by a violent crossbow arrow. A corner of the arrow rest was missing, and it tilted greatly, causing all the archers on it to fall down.
At a height of ten meters, with wailing sounds all the way, more than thirty archers were all smashed into meat patties.
Two thousand five hundred crossbows also tore through the void, scattering countless crossbow arrows at the infantry below the tower.
Four of the five towers have been blown apart, leaving only one with two or three crossbow arrows stuck in it, which is still moving forward.
"Shoot an arrow, shoot an arrow."
After finally crossing the 200-step line, the archers on the tower began to gather their energy and shoot arrows at the top of the city. However, facing the city wall defended by thousands of people, thirty or forty bows and arrows were of no use.
"God's arm crossbow, focus the fire on that tower."
Since you want to die, then I'll let you die. Under Yue Feng's command, the five hundred divine arm crossbows all adjusted their angles and aimed at the tower.
"Run. Run."
"I don't want to die."
"ah."
The archers on the last tower saw it clearly. When five hundred sharp divine arm crossbows were aimed at them, they felt that the door to hell had been opened, waiting for them to enter.
Rather than waiting for death here, it is better to run quickly and maybe save your own life.
"shoot."
Five hundred divine arm crossbows, like five hundred bolts of lightning, struck directly on the tower.
This time the target is not only the big frame, but also the extremely chaotic arrow rest.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
The divine arm crossbow collided violently with the tower, making a banging sound. The arrow rest seemed to have been swept by something, and it shattered directly. None of the archers on it were spared, and they were all torn into pieces by the crossbow arrows.
Under the arrow stand, the big frame also made a roar, and then with a cry, the entire upper half of the tower fell from the air and smashed into the ground.
"Continue the attack."
The entire tower tower was wiped out, and Gongsun Zan was helpless. Wen Chou's crossbow battalion was simply designed to defend the city. Without the same sharp weapons, the slow-moving siege equipment like the tower tower could only be passively beaten, without even the ability to fight back.
.
Although the tower was destroyed, fortunately they managed to reach a distance of 200 steps from the city.
It doesn't take much time for an adult to run two hundred meters, even if he is carrying a ladder, it won't increase much.
"Kill."
Gongsun Dong shouted, drew his steel sword and commanded his troops to charge.
Without the constraints of the tower, the speed of Youzhou infantry suddenly increased a lot. Everyone was running towards the city wall with all their strength, because they all knew that this was an absolute death zone, and the closer they were to the city wall, the less likely they were to survive.
The higher.
"Crossbow, launch."
"Crossbow, launch."
"Crossbow, launch."
Crossbow arrows fell from the sky, spreading the light of death across the earth.
Facing the powerful crossbows falling from the sky, Gongsun Zan's infantry could not escape being crucified even if they were holding shields.
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
Despite the huge casualties, the Youzhou infantry finally arrived at the city wall, and ladders were set up directly on the city wall.
"The first to climb up, the rest to suppress with bows and arrows."
An infantryman from the vanguard team began to climb up with a steel knife in his mouth. These people were all elites selected from the entire army.
The team climbed up the ladder first, and the remaining soldiers abandoned their shields, began to bend their bows and set arrows, and fired towards the top of the city.
"shield."
"Broken army, bows and arrows."
Wen Chou's military order was instantly transmitted to the entire army. The four thousand Polu troops bent their bows and set arrows, and dropped deadly bows and arrows down the city wall one after another.
Bows and arrows were fighting each other, but the team that climbed first was running desperately. If they could reach the city wall earlier, they would be the first to climb.
"Rolling wood and beating stones."
Wen Chou took longer to prepare than Yan Liang, so he had more materials.
Sections of huge rolling logs were hoisted up and then smashed down along the ladder. The same was true for huge rocks, which were smashed down from the top of the city.
One by one, the first to join the team died, but more latecomers rushed up with their swords in their hands.
"Gold juice."
The cauldron was boiling hot, and then it was pulled by the hook and poured down the ladder.
"Ah~"
"my eyes."
"Help."
With screams, figures fell from the sky one after another and were thrown into the crowd.
"Kerosera."
After the golden juice comes the ultimate weapon, kerosene.
Bottles of kerosene sealed in clay pots fell from the sky and exploded next to Gongsun Zan's soldiers.
"Quick rewind, fast rewind."
Gongsun Dong knew how powerful it was. Once the fire oil came out, everything would be burned, regardless of high or low, so he was the first to retreat backwards.
Not far after running out, I saw torches falling from the sky and landing directly on the kerosene.
"boom."
The oil exploded when it was exposed to fire. In an instant, a wide line of fire appeared under Nanpi City. Everyone rolled and ran in the flames, and finally fell to the ground and died silently.
The kerosene disappeared just as quickly as it came. Gongsun Dong looked behind him and saw that Gongsun Zan had no order to retreat, so he had no choice but to continue the attack.
"Continue the attack."
The brutal offensive and defensive battle continued, but the Youzhou infantry failed to reach the top of Nanpi despite all their efforts. In just half an hour, the number of casualties exceeded 3,000.
The large number of casualties is still a trivial matter. The key point is that the morale of Gongsun Zan's army has begun to slowly weaken.
"Sir, my brothers can't stand it any longer. Should we come back and take a rest?"
Yan Gang looked at the tragic battlefield and couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.
Compared to Yan Liang's gas-fueling tactics, Wen Chou chose to press forward with the entire army. The city walls were densely packed with defenders, and it was really difficult to attack them.
"We were attacking a section, but if we pull back now, the people on the road will die in vain."
Gongsun Zan also had his own considerations. Nanpi was not as successful as Su Li.
Le Cheng only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and his cavalry could shoot and suppress them from a distance. Wen Chou's crossbow battalion here was simply a bug. Hundreds of casualties were incurred every time. Who could withstand it?
"promise."
After hearing Gongsun Zan's general order, Yan Gang couldn't help but wave the battle flag again, signaling the army to continue attacking the city.
"Kill, whoever reaches the top of the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
When Gongsun Dong saw Yan Gang's military flag, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. Looking at the morale underneath, he couldn't help but give a heavy reward.
Sure enough, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. After hearing Gongsun Dong's words, the originally sluggish morale was restored to some extent, especially the first climbers, they gritted their steel knives and continued climbing.
"Rolling logs."
"Breaking stones."
"Gold juice."
"Crossbow strike."
"Archer, shoot."
Wen Chou had only a few military orders over and over again, but the soldiers below the city felt that they were not attacking a city wall, but marching towards hell. No matter how many people they climbed up, they all died tragically without exception.
