With a cold shout and a sound of bow strings exploding, the seventeen crossbows on the crossbow strings fell across the sky and fell on the city wall with a harsh whistling sound.
puff!
The powerful crossbow arrows passed by the arrow tower, and all sixteen crossbow arrows failed. Only one crossbow arrow passed by the city wall, and the two unlucky guys jumped into one.
"Lie down! Everyone lie down and wait for orders!"
Guo Jia's messengers roared with all their strength, conveying the orders from Guo Jia, while the veterans hid behind the battlements in advance, gritting their teeth, suppressing fear, and waiting for new orders.
Data flashed across Xu Shu's eyes, his expression remained unchanged, and he spoke in an indifferent tone.
"Crank the No. 1 crossbow twice and turn it 36 degrees to the left.
Rock the No. 2 crossbow one and a half times and adjust it fifty-seven degrees to the right.
No. 3 ballista..."
Accurate data was reported from the air one by one. When the soldiers guarding the ballista heard it, they immediately adjusted the direction of the ballista. It didn't take long for them to be all adjusted.
"Wind up and release!"
Phew! Phew! Hugh!
The same harsh whistling sound resounded in everyone's ears, but this time, a total of nine of the seventeen fine iron crossbow arrows hit the arrow towers scattered behind the city wall.
Puff puff!
This was the sound of the crossbow penetrating the wooden arrow tower. The violent shaking filled the archers above with fear, and they nervously grasped the edge of the arrow tower.
In the military formation outside the village, Xu Shu's cold voice sounded again.
"Turn the No. 3 ballista five degrees to the left and swing it down half a turn.
Number four..."
A string of data flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, and each ballistic trajectory appeared in front of his eyes. After the adjustment was completed, the familiar voice came to mind again.
"Go up to the beast soul and release it!"
Hearing this, the soldiers next to the ballista quickly took out three beast souls from their bodies and filled them in the grooves of the bow arms of the ballista one after another. The core ballista also contained five souls.
Although the ballista does not look much different from the original, it is a brand new work by Fang Yunqi, and the new beast soul consumption is one of the improvements.
At the cost of consuming more beast souls, more powerful power can be unleashed.
After filling the beast souls one by one and opening the string, they took out bone crossbow arrows one after another from the special box.
These crossbow arrows are also engraved with fine red runes, exuding a violent aura.
The crossbow bolt was put into the groove, and the runes on it connected with the ones in the groove. In an instant, the aura of the crossbow bolt became violent, becoming more perfect and more dangerous.
Following the command, the beast souls shattered one by one, and the power contained in them flowed into the grooves along the runes' trajectory, and finally merged into the crossbow arrows.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The crossbow arrows pierced the sky, bringing out fiery red tail lights.
In an instant, all the crossbow arrows landed on the waist of the arrow tower.
At the moment of contact, the lines on the crossbow arrows glowed red, the crossbow arrows disintegrated, and the devastating red light instantly engulfed the waist of the arrow tower.
Boom! Boom!
The arrow towers collapsed one after another and fell to the ground with a crash, leaving no one behind.
The attack range covered the entire city wall, and none of the seven arrow towers remained, and they all fell to the ground.
Guo Jia heard the shocked and frightened soldiers behind him clenching his fists, his joints turning slightly white from the pinching.
Is this the difference between them and Ning'an?
Guo Jia's face was full of bitterness.
Looking at the seven arrow towers that collapsed to the ground, the soldiers operating the ballistas cheered, their morale was high, and they looked at Xu Shu with some admiration.
Even the pity caused by the four broken ballistas was covered up.
When Xu Shu saw this, he didn't have any surprise in his eyes. This was natural.
He just glanced at the fighting-motivated army and shouted loudly.
"Army attack!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy footsteps sounded again, and Dian Wei led a hundred heavily armored infantry to build a steel wall in front of him. The pure steel shield carefully crafted by craftsmen looked so heavy, but it was also indestructible.
The heavy shields are connected together, and the colleagues behind the guardian advance.
In addition to the weapons in their hands, the troops behind them also held up wooden shields.
A piece of wood is covered with a layer of iron sheet, and then the handle is nailed on. This is a simple shield. It is simple and practical. The most important thing is that it is cheap and can be thrown away.
This time the army did not stop and continued to advance.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters...
Just when the limit of two hundred meters was breached, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the city wall.
"put!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Boulders as big as a human head drew a parabola in the sky and bombarded the advancing army.
The round stone broke through the blockade of the army soul evil cloud, and its strength weakened a bit, but it still fell towards the army.
When Dian Wei saw this, he shouted coldly, jumped up suddenly with the heavy armor on his body, swung his two halberds towards him, and smashed them towards him.
Bang! Bang!
With two loud noises, the boulders shattered in front of the iron halberd, losing its ability to threaten. However, Dian Wei's expression did not change at all, and he jumped up again, crushing the two boulders.
Bang! Bang!
Unfortunately, after Dian Wei smashed a few boulders, the other boulders had already fallen, hitting the center of the military formation heavily.
Part of it passed through the gap and made a depression in the ground.
However, some of them inevitably fell on the soldiers. The wooden shields were smashed and exploded, and the stones hit the people's heads, causing their heads to bleed immediately.
The stronger ones waved their weapons to block them, but most of them still fell to the ground with their eyes wide open, their life or death unclear.
But just after one wave passed, the next wave of boulders roared in, which made Dian Wei's eyes widen.
"The whole army attacks, there must be no stagnation!"
An order sounded, and Dian Wei heard it. He looked at the falling rocks above his head, his eyes widened, but he still dropped them and continued to move forward.
Boom! Boom!
The boulders continued to fall, but after the military spirit was weakened, they could not pose any threat to the people who had been prepared.
No matter how you calculate the catapult, it is impossible to be very accurate, which is why it can only be used as a siege weapon rather than a killing weapon.
The distance of one hundred meters passed in an instant, and the army, which had long been suffocating, charged forward ferociously.
Rushing up against the dense rain of falling arrows, long iron ladders were set up on the wall, and were tightly held down by soldiers wearing heavy armor. The soldiers behind him rushed up one after another, their spiritual energy shining on their bodies.
"kill!!"
The real hand-to-hand combat began, blood spattered, and the short wall seemed to turn into a meat grinder, strangling the living lives one by one. At this moment, life was like grass and became extremely fragile.
Seeing this, Xu Shu's face showed no change, still cold, and the data flow in his eyes exploded, becoming more dense and mysterious.
Calculate, deduce, and choose the best plan.
Suddenly, Xu Shu waved his hand and passed down an order. In an instant, the three teams on standby started to move.
They lifted up the meter-thick tree trunk under their feet. The hard trunk was covered with iron sheets, and the sharpened front section was embedded with an iron-cast cone.
They held the iron handle embedded in the tree trunk with both hands, shouted in unison, and under the protection of their colleagues, they carried the city-breaking cone and charged forward...
