Dozens of giant cobblestones roared down from the sky, hitting the battlefield with a bang! Bang!, stirring up pieces of dust. However, the unique smoothness of the pebbles prevented them from stopping. Instead, they continued to rush forward with the help of the powerful force of inertia. Most of them
The boulder did not hit the target, but seven or eight large pebbles did.
Relying on its own weight and strong inertia, the giant cobblestone hit the baffle hard. The baffle shattered suddenly, sawdust scattered, and a big hole was opened. The cobblestone hit the trebuchet directly. Amidst the screams and shouts,
The bases of three trebuchets were hit and collapsed.
The heavy crossbow soldiers on the top of the city were not idle either. They gathered in one place and concentrated their fire on a trebuchet. The baffle of this trebuchet had been knocked down by a boulder. The soldiers had not had time to lift the baffle.
The crossbow arrows roared out, and dozens of Shatuo soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The trebuchet was also filled with arrows, the belt broke again, and the trebuchet suddenly fell apart.
The heavy crossbow soldier turns to the next trebuchet. Even if he cannot hit the soldier behind him, the dense arrows can still damage the trebuchet.
However, the baffle did play a certain role, preventing the Shatuo Army's trebuchet from being destroyed as easily as yesterday. The throwing rod kept flying, and the boulder was smashed for more than ten rounds, and the head of Zhangye City was riddled with holes.
The Tang army also suffered two to three hundred casualties.
At this time, more than half of the trebuchet was finally damaged. Zhu Xie Jinhai saw that the time was ripe and if he did not launch an attack, they would lose cover when all the trebuchets were lost.
Zhu Xie Jinhai waved his sword and shouted, "Attack!"
War drums rumbled, and fifteen thousand Shatuo soldiers pushed their ultimate siege weapon, the nest car, slowly towards the city.
In the third part of the movie "Lord of the Rings", the powerful power of the hive car left a deep impression on people. The nomads also had a special liking for the hive car during the siege. First, it was easier to make, and secondly, the closed space could withstand the city.
The arrow attack, and the grassland terrain is relatively flat, but the most important reason is that the nest car itself has great siege power and is not easily destroyed. Even if it is hit by a boulder, it will not be completely damaged. It is covered with a layer of cowhide.
It can effectively alleviate the impact of boulders.
The chassis of the Nest Car is very large, which means that it cannot directly withstand the city wall. It must use an overpass to go up to the city. This overpass is the core of the entire Nest Car. It is made of an extremely thick wooden board with iron chains at both ends.
, just like the suspension bridge outside the city gate, it is usually erected as a shield to block the soldiers inside. Once it withstands the city wall, the overpass is immediately lowered like the city gate suspension bridge, and the huge iron hook hooks the city head.
At the top of the nest car is a platform, inside which stands a dozen burly and brave soldiers. They will be the first batch to rush to the top of the city. As long as they can seize the top of the city for a moment, the soldiers behind will continue to kill them.
During the Great Cannibal Western Expedition, they used chariots to capture countless cities, and today they have become the trump card of the Shatuo people. Unfortunately, their opponent today is Guo Song. Guo Song has accumulated rich experience in dealing with the Xue Yantuo people.
, successfully dealt with Chao Che, he knew very well what the weakness of Chao Che was?
"Don't worry about the nest car, the crossbowmen are ready to shoot!"
Sixteen thousand Tang army soldiers gathered at the head of the north city. Except for a thousand heavy armored infantry, all the other soldiers were holding crossbows. Guo Song not only wanted to defeat the Shatuo people, but also killed the enemy to the greatest extent.
military.
Below the city wall, 15,000 Shatuo troops surrounded by twenty giant-like chariots were overwhelmingly rushing towards the city wall. Above their heads, huge boulders kept rolling down. The boulders fell into the dense crowd. A single boulder could
It knocked over a dozen soldiers and caused four to five hundred casualties in one strike.
The 15,000-strong army gradually approached the city wall like a turbulent wave. However, more than half of the Shatuo Army's trebuchets were lost and basically could not threaten the safety of the city wall. The Shatuo Army had already reached the 120-step line.
With a shout, he suddenly accelerated and ran toward the city head with the siege ladder on his shoulders.
On the top of the city, 15,000 Tang soldiers raised their crossbows. Seeing that the enemy had entered the killing range, Guo Song coldly ordered: "Shoot!"
The bang sounded, and fifteen thousand arrows and crossbow bolts were shot out at the same time. It was like a dark cloud flying up, the sky became dark, and arrows as dense as a storm rolled from the sky, and large areas of Shatuo soldiers were hit by arrows.
After being shot, he fell down wailing, and more than two thousand people fell in an instant.
"Cum again!"
Immediately afterwards, a second round of 15,000 arrows was fired, so dense that it was impermeable to wind and rain. Shatuo soldiers instinctively rushed to the ground to avoid it, but thousands of people were still hit by arrows. Two rounds of arrows caused heavy damage to Shatuo soldiers.
Although there were losses, the Shatuo soldiers who were flying still arrived at the city despite the arrows. A series of siege ladders were hung on the city wall, and thousands of people swarmed to kill them.
The Tang army also quickly changed its combat strategy. Eight thousand people put down their bows and arrows and devoted themselves to defensive operations. Huge boulders and rolling stones fell from their heads. Soldiers were constantly being hit, screaming and rolling down the ladders. Huge stones
The rolling log and the wooden stick then fell into the crowd on both sides of the ladder, and another person was hit.
The Shatuo army is indeed more brave, and they are not afraid of death. The soldiers in front were knocked over, and the soldiers behind immediately followed up. They grabbed a moment's gap and rushed to the top of the city. They brandished their spears and swords and fought fiercely with the Tang army soldiers on the top of the city.
, people on both sides continued to die.
This is a tragic war scene. Overhead, rolling boulders hit the rear army and enemy trebuchets. The only dozen or so trebuchets left by the Shatuo Army were unable to attack and retreated. Under the city, countless soldiers climbed up.
Climbing up, the siege ladder was filled with dense crowds. There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, smashed heads, brains and blood all over the ground, and corpses with arrows stuck in their bodies.
Twenty huge siege vehicles were still advancing forward. The soldiers on the vehicles blew low horns. There were also dense soldiers behind the vehicles. Each vehicle was followed by hundreds of soldiers on both sides and behind.
people.
In the distance, hundreds of war drums were still beating loudly, encouraging the soldiers to attack. Hundreds of big and round drummers swung their drumsticks, and the drumsticks hit the drum heads like raindrops.
Zhu Xie Jinhai was riding on his horse, looking at the siege chariot with a solemn expression. He knew that Shatuo soldiers were not good at siege warfare and could not reach the top of the city with the siege ladder alone. He pinned all his hopes on siege.
On the chao chariot, he hoped that the siege chao chariot would show its might and allow him to capture Zhangye City.
'Bang!' A siege nest vehicle was hit by a huge boulder, and the cowhide lost most of its strength. The nest vehicle only shook, but did not tip over. The boulder was bounced away, and the soldiers below were so frightened that they dodge, but the nest vehicle
The car continues to move forward.
Another siege vehicle was hit by a boulder, this time hitting the top. The powerful impact caused the wood pieces to shatter and fly, and the twelve soldiers standing at the top were immediately smashed to pieces.
The siege vehicle quickly passed the 300-step line, and the trebuchets could do nothing to it. With the hard push of eight thousand soldiers, the siege vehicle gradually approached the city wall. On the moat, the Shatuo army used logs and trees to build
form a bridge to ensure that the bridge can support the heavy nest car.
As the chariot arrived at the city wall, the war became more fierce. The soldiers of the Tang Army leaned down and shot at the enemy soldiers under the city wall. Rocks fell like raindrops. Dead bodies were already piled up under the city wall, and blood flowed into rivers. Shatuo soldiers climbed onto the city desperately, using their
The bows and arrows counterattacked, and Tang soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell from the top of the city screaming. The Tang soldiers who were not dead were immediately cut into pieces by the Shatuo army.
At this time, both sides were red-eyed, and their looks became extremely ferocious. The Shatuo soldiers had only one thought in their minds. They rushed to the city and cut the Tang army soldiers into pieces. The Tang army soldiers wanted to use huge rocks to kill the heads of the Shatuo soldiers.
It was smashed to pieces, both sides were fighting to the death, and the battle became more and more fierce.
When Guo Song saw that the siege vehicle was approaching the city wall, he immediately ordered: "Mo Dao army goes into battle, and the fire attackers are ready!"
A thousand long-awaited heavy armored infantry immediately stepped forward. They were responsible for dealing with the enemy soldiers of the twenty siege vehicles. They were divided into twenty teams, with fifty people in each team, holding long Mo Dao blades.
Already ready, behind the heavy armored infantry, there are the same fifty accompanying soldiers, who are responsible for protecting the heavy armored infantry in danger.
There are more than twenty fire attackers on the outermost periphery, and behind them are bundles of tied hay and jars filled with fire oil.
'Boom!' The front wheel of the siege chariot hit the city wall. The hundred-pound overpass of the chariot on top of the city fell and hit the battlements heavily. A dozen powerful Shatuo armed with spears roared and went out to kill.
, rushed to the top of the city desperately, but they never dreamed that what was waiting for them was the heavy armored infantry known as the most powerful infantry.
Fifty heavy armored infantry blocked their way forward, and they all wielded Mo Dao and slashed at the enemy.
