Following the order, the waiting ladder trucks moved forward steadily under the push of the soldiers, with the eight wheels underneath spinning continuously, approaching Hulao Pass step by step.
The ladder truck looks very ordinary. It is a long trolley with a ladder fixed on it, pointing diagonally towards the sky.
Downward is a thick wooden shield one foot high, covered with iron sheets, just opposite to the direction of the ladder, pointing diagonally to the rear, covering the soldiers pushing the ladder truck behind.
One on each side, the back is tightly protected, allowing soldiers to push safely under the ladder truck without worrying about attacks from the city wall.
And further behind, each sword and shield soldier also held his round shield at an angle, followed closely behind the ladder truck and advanced step by step, approaching Hulao Pass bit by bit.
As the distance grew closer and closer, Hulao Prison gradually became clear before our eyes.
Suddenly, a group of black spots flew in the direction of Hulao Pass. When I looked carefully, I took a deep breath.
Pieces of boulders were thrown out by the huge swing arm of the catapult, piercing the sky and roaring towards them, overwhelming the sky and the earth with a terrifying momentum.
"Kill! Kill!"
The commanders of the army were mixed among the troops, shouting at the top of their lungs, their faces red and their necks thick.
Each soldier gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his head, and ran forward with all his strength, resisting the catapult attack and charging forward completely.
Phew! Phew! Boom!
Pieces of boulders roared down and hit the ladder truck's shield hard, making loud noises and gravel flying. The soldier pushing the ladder truck groaned, and blood oozed out from his hands.
Boom! Boom! Poof!
Round stones fell in the crowd, smashing the round shields and smashing out a pile of minced meat. They died without a single scream.
"Move forward, and retreat is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"
Behind them, the supervisors holding broadswords yelled, and the broadswords shook and shone with a cold light.
Knowing that it was impossible to retreat, the soldiers gritted their teeth, held up their shields, quickened their pace, and walked forward in a muffled voice.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
One after another, the boulders fell on the coalition forces, and the overwhelming feeling gave the coalition forces a head-on blow.
On the city wall, Lu Bu looked at the coalition forces in front of him expressionlessly. The boulders whizzed past him in the sky, but not only did he not see any relief on his face, on the contrary, his expression at this time was extremely serious.
Because he knew that this was just the beginning. Although the sling attack was terrifying, the damage to the army was limited.
A falling rock cannot kill one or two people, more likely to fail, more knowledge to suppress morale and attack large, slow-moving siege equipment.
"Hit, hit hard, knock out all those ladder trucks!"
Lu Bu slapped his hand hard on the city wall and shouted loudly.
There were two people standing next to Lu Bu. One of them had three hideous wounds on his face. There was no trace of intact flesh at all, making him look extremely terrifying.
The other person was thinner than the two of them and a little shy, but at this time he still held up his hands and said to Lu Bu.
"Yes, lord."
Although I agreed, my heart was filled with a wry smile.
Fixed-point strike with a catapult? How is it possible? It is a great thing to be able to keep the landing point in the same area every time.
Of course, he also knew that Lu Bu only said cruel words, but he still couldn't stop the bitter smile in his heart. The master had spoken, what could he do? Let's do it.
Then he turned around and left, found a suitable observation angle, looked at the trajectory and landing point of the falling rocks, and collected data one after another.
At the same time, as his hands danced, a blue light and shadow appeared in his hands. The catapult, trajectory, landing point, and targets appeared on it one by one. He ordered the catapult to make fine adjustments without even throwing it once.
Again and again, complex deductions began.
Gao Shun performed the deduction with a wry smile on his face.
"I'm obviously a military commander, why do I have to act like a counselor?
Ah, it’s so difficult for me!”
Gao Shun complained crazily in his heart, but as time went by and more and more data were calculated, he became more serious, gathered his thoughts, and went all out to deduce.
Drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, and the catapult formation was fine-tuned again and again, finally restricting each impact point within a hundred meters, which made him feel proud.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crazy boulders fell, wildly bombarding the advancing ladder truck.
One or two cobblestones can be blocked by the wooden shield, but when the cobblestones fall suddenly one after another, the support rods supporting the giant shield at the back break first.
The third piece, the fourth piece, boom!!
The giant shield exploded, and pieces of debris flew everywhere. The soldiers pushing the ladder truck behind them stared wide-eyed, and their bodies were riddled with sawdust.
Boom! Boom!
Regular and dense falling rocks hit the ladder truck, and the ladder trucks were shattered one after another.
In a short period of time, thirty-nine of one hundred ladder trucks were blown to pieces, an extremely astonishing number.
Looking at the overwhelming falling rocks and the twisted ladder trucks, the faces of the princes on the hillside became solemn. I don't know who said something.
"There are counselors on the other side taking action."
........
Bang!
The remaining ladder trucks broke through the boundary, rushed to the foot of the city wall, and stopped one after another. Each soldier frantically pulled the steel cable, and a hidden ladder climbed up, and with a muffled sound, it was firmly fastened to the city wall.
Each soldier holds a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, holding the shield on his shoulder and rushing upward crazily.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Finally, I climbed to the top and fought hand to hand!!!
But at this time, everyone's attention was not focused on this. Instead, they were looking at the second half of the army.
The real siege equipment troops finally appeared. At the front was the catapult array. The catapults followed closely behind the sword and shield soldiers, and when the ladder trucks attracted firepower, they quietly crossed the opponent's range. By the time Hulao Pass reacted, the city walls were already in front of them.
Within range.
Range is truth.
Zhuge Liang slowly flapped his feather fan, looked at the other counselors, and said with a chuckle.
"Colleagues, let's get together, don't let others see the joke."
"Haha, come on."
Xu Shu said with a smile, and then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no emotion at all and he was calm.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and fanned his feather fan forward. A huge amount of spiritual energy surged out, forming a simulated sand table of the entire battlefield on the table.
While the other counselors were secretly frightened, they also looked at each other and poured their spiritual power into them along with their spiritual consciousness.
At this moment, the huge sand table that was originally forbidden came alive. Every person and every siege equipment moved. The trajectories of the catapults were included in the calculation, the enemy's and ours.
Data was integrated into it one by one, but it was analyzed and deduced by eighteen counselors in an instant.
In an instant, the eighteen counselors raised their heads and smiled.
"shoot!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Howling sounds filled the sky, and boulders pierced the sky!!!
ps: The comments during the National Day are finally released, happy, (**)..:*
