Since Zhang Zhao agreed with Xu Rong's words, Yan Liang had nothing to say. Besides, there was no difference between a partial attack and a full-army attack. Once he found out the enemy's strength and strength, he could completely change it to a full-army attack.
"Dong dong dong."
Continuous war drums resounded throughout the sky, and countless craftsmen went directly to the front of the formation and began to assemble the trebuchets. Behind them were 20,000 Xiliang troops and 10,000 militiamen who were waiting in full formation.
"Oh, is Yuan Shujun so fierce?
Just after arriving outside the city, we don’t even take a rest and are going to attack the city right away?”
Seeing Yuan Shu's army preparing to move outside the city, Zhou Ping couldn't help but frown. This was too fierce.
"Lord Zhou Wei, please move over and leave this place to me."
A school lieutenant directly cupped his fist at Zhou Ping and asked him to leave.
"Well, I'll leave this to you."
It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and his sword has no eyes. It is impossible not to look for him just because he is a state captain, so he did not refuse and left the city wall directly under the protection of his own soldiers.
"Be prepared for defense, prepare the crossbows for the defense of the city, burn the golden juice for me, prepare all the rolling stones and wood, and the archers will shoot arrows at any time according to my orders."
As soon as the captain's order was given, the soldiers and horses on the head of the east city began to move, burning fire with gold juice, rolling logs and stones to pile on the wall, and the thick crossbows of the city defenders were cocked one after another, ready to shoot at any time.
"The trebuchet has been installed."
The craftsman in charge of the trebuchet came directly to Yan Liang and reported to him.
"The trebuchets were launched to suppress the east city, and Xu Rong led the Xiliang army to attack."
Now that the trebuchet is ready, let's get started.
"promise."
"Reload one round and fire, fire."
After hearing Yan Liang's military order, the captain in charge of the trebuchet did not hesitate and directly issued the order to fire.
The twenty trebuchets each took aim, and then they saw rounds of round stone bullets, like meteors from the sky, blasting directly towards the east city.
"Defense, archers ready."
Seeing the oncoming stone bullets, the captain in charge of the defense directly ordered the defense.
Shields were erected on top of the city, and behind them was a fully-drawn war bow, ready to launch a hail of death arrows at Yuan Shu's army attacking the city at any time.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
A series of earth-shattering sounds exploded at the top of Dongcheng. More than a dozen heavy bombs directly turned Dongcheng upside down. Countless shields were smashed away, and the soldiers behind them were smashed into pulp by stone bullets. In an instant, Dongcheng
The wall became a hell on earth.
Seeing the arm hitting his shoulder and the groaning soldiers, the captain was stunned. He had experienced many bloody battles in the army for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a Shura-like scene.
, it was the first time I saw someone being able to shoot such a big stone onto the city head from a few hundred meters away.
"Proofreading for each trebuchet."
Seeing that the first wave of stone bombs hit 78 out of 10, the captain nodded. After so many battles, the trebuchet troops under his command have become more and more elite.
"The calibration of car No. 1 is completed."
"The calibration of car No. 2 is completed."
"The calibration of car No. 3 is completed."
Twenty trebuchets reported in turn.
"Reload ten rounds in a row and fire."
"As ordered, reload ten rounds and fire."
"As ordered, reload ten rounds and fire."
"As ordered, reload ten rounds and fire."
The twenty trebuchets that had been proofread began to roar, and stone bullets hit the East City wall like meteors falling from the sky.
"Escape, quickly avoid."
Seeing the stone bullets coming again, the captain on the top of the city immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time found a wall and hid.
When the other soldiers saw the captain's actions, they reacted quickly and immediately hid behind the wall. However, those who reacted slowly were smashed into pieces by stone bullets falling from the sky before they could even take two steps.
For a time, the top of the East City was plunged into absolute panic, with stone bullets falling from the sky and soldiers running around in panic everywhere.
"Beat the drums and attack the city."
Seeing the chaos at the top of the east city wall, Xu Rong was not idle. With a wave of his hand, 20,000 elite Xiliang troops and 10,000 militiamen pushed ladder trucks and began to attack the city wall.
"Captain, the enemy is coming."
A team leader rushed to the captain's side with frightened eyes and spoke to him anxiously.
"Quick, quick, quick, the archers are preparing to defend. The remaining crossbows of the city defenders are firing crossbows. Beat the drums to order the troops waiting under the city to go up the city wall immediately."
Although he was fooled by Yuan Shujun's first wave of trebuchets, his military literacy was still there. He knew that the soldiers and horses on the city wall were frightened out of their courage. New soldiers must be sent to the city wall, otherwise it is very likely that
The city was directly destroyed by Yuan Shu's army.
"promise.
After hearing the captain's order, the team leader went directly to the war drum on the tower without hesitation, and then knocked hard on the war drum.
"Dong dong dong,"
The continuous sound of war drums floated on the city wall, and the soldiers and horses preparing to arrive below the city were stunned when they heard the sound of war drums, but they immediately rushed to the top of the city to support the battlefield.
At the same time, although the soldiers on the top of the city were frightened, they had to respect the military orders. They slowly reached out of the city and began to suppress the incoming Yuan Shu troops and horses with sparse arrow rain.
Seeing the enemy's new forces swarming up the city through the stairs, the captain in charge of the trebuchet smiled slightly.
"Ten rounds of shotgun blasts will suppress the enemies rushing up from both sides."
Upon hearing the captain's order, the twenty trebuchets began to reload and fine-tune their targets, aiming at the enemies coming up from both sides.
"Ten rounds of shotguns, let go."
"Ten rounds of shotguns, let go."
"Ten rounds of shotguns, let go."
As the trebuchets were prepared, countless shotguns were like a dark cloud directly pressed against the east city wall.
"What's this?"
The Yangzhou army who had just climbed onto the city wall looked at the stone bullets coming over them like dark clouds. They had no idea what they were.
"Dodge, duck."
The captain looked at the stone bullets and screamed, but he could only get behind the wall again.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The rain of bullets continued to hit the east city wall like rain hitting banana trees. Countless Yangzhou troops were knocked down in a pool of blood before they could react.
The walls of the east city were covered with blossoms, and there were Yangzhou troops lying in pools of blood everywhere. Although the heavy bombs had strong pressure, they mainly targeted the city walls and the heavy defensive equipment on them.
Although shotguns appear to be light and light, they are more focused on killing the actual force than heavy bombs, so the casualties caused by this wave of shotguns far exceed those of heavy bombs.
Except for the soldiers and horses that had been baptized by heavy bombardment, more than half of the Yangzhou army that had just entered the city was wiped out.
"Cross the moat and attack the city."
With the suppression of the trebuchet, Xu Rong led his soldiers and horses to the edge of the moat easily. One ladder was extended across the river to build bridges. At the same time, countless sandbags were also thrown into the moat, artificially
Create channels.
Through the river crossing ladder and the passage created by sandbags, Xu Rong led his army directly across the wide moat outside the East City.
"Suppress, suppress for me, archers, release arrows, where are the reinforcements, are they coming up?"
