Just when Niu Jinda was struggling to organize his men to resist the alien army's attack on the city, the news was immediately passed to Li Jing's ears.
When he heard that the enemy actually used such methods, his expression couldn't help but change.
It seems that the enemy really does not regard these aliens as human beings, because the same situation happened here. The groups in the rear were actually like herds of animals, urging the aliens to attack the city. Some aliens wanted to attack the city. They fled and were stabbed to death by them without any consideration at all.
Faced with such oppression, the alien attacks were extremely fierce, and they were fearless even with the artillery. The north and west sides were fine, the artillery fire rate was faster, and they could suppress the alien attack, but the east side was not good. This was something Li Jing didn't fully consider at the beginning.
At present, the east wall is in danger. Although Li Jing's face changed slightly, he did not panic. Instead, he said to the messenger on the side: "Bring me the catapult to the east city, tie up the wooden lumps, and put them in the catapult. Hit those crossbowmen hard!"
The messengers immediately rushed down the city wall and ran towards the location of the catapults. These were arranged last night to serve as backup in case something unexpected happened. These catapults, which were originally unused, At least it could come in handy. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy so quickly. This was something Li Jing didn't expect.
Fortunately, we were prepared. Without these preparations, Dingxiang City would have been attacked today.
The throwing speed of the catapult is much faster than that of the ballista, so there is no need to worry about any loopholes in the middle when the two are used together.
At this time, there were many casualties among the soldiers on the east wall. They were all caught off guard by the Western Turks' crossbowmen at the beginning. Fortunately, the shields worked immediately and pushed up. Otherwise, the dead and wounded soldiers would have More.
When the messenger conveyed Li Jing's decision to Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, and he was really considerate.
Looking at the catapults being pushed up one after another, Niu Jinda urged them to quickly load the wooden lumps and launch them.
The target of the catapult is naturally the crossbowmen in the back row!
Only by beating them away or killing them can the alien siege be stopped. Otherwise, many soldiers will die under the indiscriminate bombardment of arrows, and the city may not be saved!
"Bang bang bang!"
Catapults threw the bundled wooden lumps high into the sky. The burning sparks indicated that the wooden lumps had been ignited and would explode when they landed.
"Boom boom boom!"
When the wooden knot explodes, its power is so amazing that it can shake the earth.
After all, they are bundled wooden lumps, and the gunpowder used in them is no less than cannonballs. It is normal for it to have such power.
For a time, the people in the rear of the Western Turks fell on their backs, and the crossbowmen and cavalry supervising the battle suffered heavy casualties.
Especially those Western Turkic cavalry who were supervising the battle. During the explosion, their horses were frightened and began to run wildly, trampling to death and injuring countless Western Turks. As for the Western Turkic cavalry on horseback, they were overturned by the horses and disappeared. .
After seeing this scene on the east city wall, Niu Jinda truly felt relieved.
With this gap of time, the ballistae had already drawn its bow strings, and once again bombarded the foreigners indiscriminately.
After the addition of the ballistae, the momentum of the foreigners' attack was finally stopped a lot.
The attack of the catapult also caused the cavalry supervising the battle to retreat one after another. This resulted in the aliens having no one to supervise their siege. Many aliens discovered this and rushed forward desperately, and fled when they found an opportunity. And go.
Although there will be no good end after being caught, at least he is alive now instead of dying immediately. After all, it is better to die than to live!
In the end, the east city wall became the first to resolve the crisis, while the situation on the west and north walls intensified, and the fight was in full swing.
