Chapter seven hundred and seventy-third city wall cracked
Chapter 773 The city wall is cracked
Seeing the Xuzhou Army's ladder attack, Zhou Ping jumped directly from behind the wall stacks and commanded his troops to suppress the Xuzhou Army who climbed up the ladder.
Prepared axemen appeared one after another, wielding their big axes and slashing at the ladder in front of them.
The iron hook of the ladder was cut off, and then soldiers nearby pushed the ladder down.
The battle reached its climax from the very beginning. Each Xuzhou army was stabbed off the city wall, and their blood instantly dyed the city wall bloody.
The morale of the Yangzhou army was high, and the Xuzhou army was also full of vigor. Both sides were fighting tooth and nail and shedding blood.
Finally, the carriages were pushed to the edge of the city wall. Only four of the ten carriages were left, and the remaining six were all shot up.
"Place the tie-board."
Seeing that the building truck finally arrived, the captain ordered four planks to be erected directly on the city wall.
"rush."
"kill."
"Crush them."
The soldiers of Xuzhou Army roared loudly one by one, stepped over the planks and rushed directly to the city wall.
"Shield bearers, hold them back, and archers shoot their arrows."
Seeing the enemies rushing over from the building, Zhou Ping directly ordered the encirclement.
"kill."
The shield-bearers formed a formation one by one and collectively pushed towards the carriage. At the same time, the archers behind them also bent their bows and fired at the Xuzhou army.
"The archers suppressed them, and those behind continued to advance."
The first wave of soldiers who rushed over have been wiped out, but is there a problem?
No problem, as long as the carriages are still there, I can continuously transport troops to the city wall.
Now the entire Shouchun Wall is in fighting, and the most intense one is where the truck attack is. The Xuzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army have fought to the point of madness. If anyone dies, they will be replaced by follow-up soldiers.
"Throw kerosene and set the building on fire."
Xuzhou troops continued to attack the city. Zhou Ping knew that he might suffer losses if he tried hard, so he immediately ordered to use kerosene to burn the nearby carriages.
One by one, the soldiers began to rush towards the carriage with clay pots in their hands, and then smashed the kerosene cans on top of the carriage.
"Shoot the soldiers holding the clay pots and don't let them come over."
The team leader on the truck looked at the flying pots with a flash of fear in his eyes, and directly ordered the archers to shoot the soldiers.
"set fire."
Seeing the pottery jar hit the cart, Zhou Ping gave an order and countless rockets were fired directly on the cart.
The scorching flames soared into the sky, and the orange-red flames directly enveloped all four cars in the flames.
"Throw kerosene under the city wall to drive them back."
Seeing that the carriages were burned, Zhou Ping once again ordered his soldiers to throw kerosene to burn the Xuzhou army under the city wall.
The clay pots hit the city wall like hailstones, and the pungent smell of kerosene instantly filled the entire sky.
"withdraw."
Seeing the kerosene thrown down, Zang Ba did not stop and directly ordered the entire army to retreat. It would be difficult to attack the city if the buildings and chariots were burned.
After hearing the order, the Xuzhou Army immediately gave up the siege and began to retreat like a tide.
"Throw the torch."
Although the enemies retreated, Zhou Ping did not want to let them go and directly ordered the torches to be thrown.
One by one, the torches spun and fell under the city wall, and the flames burned instantly, directly wrapping the Xuzhou army that was unable to retreat in time.
Listening to the wailing of the city and the enemies rolling in the sea of fire, Zhou Ping's heart also calmed down.
"My lord, Zang Ba is incompetent and failed to capture Shouchun in one fell swoop."
Zang Ba came to Yuan Shu's side with a black face, knelt down on one knee and begged him.
"what is this?
It’s just the beginning, don’t be impatient, just go and wait for others.”
Yuan Shu smiled slightly, he was just following him. It would be strange if Shouchun City could be defeated in one go.
"promise."
"How's the nightmare going?"
Yuan Shu turned to look at the nightmare trebuchet being assembled.
"Replying to my lord, the nightmare will take at least another hour to assemble."
After hearing Yuan Shu's inquiry, he freely ordered the soldiers to answer his questions.
"For an hour, the army will postpone the attack until the nightmare is assembled and then attack again."
"promise."
Yuan Shujun ordered the army to rest, but only the assembly position of the Nightmare Trebuchet was very busy.
An hour passed quickly, and the much-anticipated nightmare trebuchet was finally assembled.
"Lord, the nightmare is assembled."
The commanding officer directly conveyed the news to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, order Nightmare to attack the city wall and create a gap for me."
Upon hearing that Nightmare was assembled, Yuan Shu directly ordered Nightmare to start attacking.
"My lord has ordered that Nightmare attack the city wall and create a gap."
The commanding officer quickly conveyed Yuan Shu's order to the master craftsman in charge of nightmares.
"I see."
The master craftsman nodded and just smashed the city wall. He was familiar with this job.
"Turn direction 12 north, angle 7, power 70, one round, release."
The master craftsman glanced at the city wall in front of him, thought for a while, and then issued his order.
"Turn north 12. Angle 7, power 70, one bullet, release."
The master craftsman's order was passed to the nightmare trebuchet. The huge nightmare heard the order and began to turn. Then the angle and force were all adjusted. Finally, a cart placed the stone bullets on top of the ammunition bag.
After everything was ready, the nightmare suddenly trembled, and the huge stone bullet flew directly towards Shouchun City like a meteor.
"What's this?"
Looking at the huge stone bombs, Zhou Ping was stunned. If the heavy bombs just now were eggs, the trebuchet launched by Nightmare was the homemade steamed white steamed buns. There was no comparison at all.
"My lord, be careful."
Seeing that Zhou Ping was still dazed, a soldier jumped directly on him and completely covered him with his body.
"Peng."
A loud noise instantly resounded through the sky, and the stone bullet was like a hammer, hitting the entire city wall. The entire city wall was trembling and groaning, and the sky was filled with flying stone debris.
"Bah, bah, bah."
Zhou Ping pushed away his bodyguard and spat out the stone chips in his mouth.
"Sir, what kind of monster is this?"
A team leader raised his head and looked at the stone bullets that were completely embedded in the city wall, his eyes full of fear.
"how could I know?"
After hearing what the team leader said, Zhou Ping was also stunned. How could a monster like Yuan Shu come up with such a thing? It was so terrifying.
"Then how do we defend ourselves?"
The team leader glanced at Zhou Ping with panic in his eyes.
"How to defend?
I don’t know either, I can only pray now.”
Zhou Ping also shook his head. Facing such a monster, he didn't know what to do.
"Pull up the force, lower the angle by 1, and release."
The master craftsman nodded when he saw the stone bullet hitting the city wall, and issued new instructions again.
"Pull up the force, lower the angle by 1, and release."
Nightmare adjusted its angle again, and then a stone bullet rolled down onto the ammunition bag. Then the fuselage trembled, and the huge stone bullet once again crossed the void and hit the city wall.
"boom."
With a loud noise, the city of Shouchun shook again. This time the stone bullet was stronger, and it penetrated into the city wall. An unobservable crack appeared directly on the city wall along with the stone bullet.
"what sound?"
There was a clicking sound, and the soldiers on the stone bullets were tempted.
"have no idea."
People nearby also heard the sound, but had no idea where it came from.
"put."
Another stone bullet shot into the sky and hit the city wall again.
"Click."
The originally small and invisible cracks expanded instantly, extending all the way upward directly to the wall stacks.
