After giving the order to Chunshan, Genjing Masato looked at the Xingluo soldiers outside who were as busy as ants, and still felt very uneasy in his heart.
He paused, then put his big hand down heavily.
"Immediately mobilize all the heavy crossbows and trebuchets in the east of the city, and destroy the foundations of the sea-proof crossbows before they are completed."
"Yes!" There were loud responses from all around.
The anti-sea breaking crossbow is so powerful that it needs to be firmly fixed on the hard ground, otherwise once it is launched, it will easily overturn the entire weapon.
At this time, the Xingluo soldiers outside were still busy reinforcing the foundation. There was almost no cover above and around them, making them a good target.
As long as it can be attacked, heavy casualties are guaranteed.
However, Masato Nei's voice faded, and the military advisor quickly stepped forward.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
"General, I don't dare to question your decision. It's just that although there is a lot of ammunition in the pass, we don't know how long we will be here, so I feel that... various crossbow arrows and stone bullets should be used sparingly. .”
"And General, please look."
Speaking of this, he quickly gestured the distance from the city head to the foundations of the sea defense crossbows.
"Compared to our trebuchets and heavy crossbows, the sea-breaking crossbows outside are more powerful, so setting them further away will not affect their destructive power."
"Wei Junqian is so stupid, he knows the attack range of our crossbows and trebuchets, and he will definitely set up weapons at stuck points. Therefore, whether we want to send troops out of the city for a sneak attack or launch a long-range attack, they should have made corresponding preparations and countermeasures …”
By then, I'm afraid it will just be a waste of human lives and ammunition, but it will be difficult to cause too much damage to those sea-proof crossbow foundations.
Of course, the military advisor did not say this, but everyone present, including Masato Nei, understood what he meant.
"Yes." Chunshan, who was ordered to go out of the city to be taken advantage of, quickly agreed.
"General, I am not afraid of death. As long as it is for the future of the Emperor and Yamato, I will not hesitate to die no matter what I am asked to do."
"It's just that we don't have many manpower and materials anymore. If we launch an attack in a hurry, we probably won't be able to hurt the Xingluo people outside at all. Instead, it will cause the city to lack manpower and materials to thicken the city wall."
"General, please think twice!"
The others looked at each other. Although they remained silent, their eyes had almost the same meaning.
Masato Nei was silent for a long time.
"That's what you two are talking about. Then first mobilize the long-range attack trebuchet and the heavy crossbow with the longest range, try to hit it, and see the effect."
Phew~
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.
The order was passed quickly.
The soldiers got busy.
Quack, quack…
The long-range trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the top of the city began to load and cock.
After a while, everything was ready.
Everyone turned to look at Masato Nei.
He waved his hand lightly.
"put!"
Two roars.
The trebuchet and heavy crossbow were launched almost at the same time.
Phew~
The heavy crossbow was the fastest, and with a harsh wind howl, it shot towards its target like lightning.
boom!
The crossbow arrow hit the foundation of the sea-proof crossbow outside the city, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
As for the long-range attack trebuchet, the attack range was not that far. Dozens of fireballs with thick smoke hit the ground three or four feet away from the foundation.
Haha~
The unbridled laughter of Yun Chui's soldiers could be heard in the wind.
"The Japanese pirates are so stubborn, do they only have so much ability?"
"That's right, if you have the guts to continue shooting arrows and smashing rocks, it's best to do it for a few days and nights. It will save us the trouble of filling in those trenches."
Yun Chui's siege equipment was famous all over the world, and Genjing Masato had already made all preparations. At this time, trenches of varying depths and widths were dug everywhere outside the city wall. Without looking, you could tell that they were filled with all kinds of traps and poisons.
Under normal circumstances, these trenches must be filled in so that various heavy siege machines can be pushed to the foot of the city. It is not known how many lives and effort it will take.
If the Japanese pirates in the city were to throw stones as hard as they could, a lot of trouble would be saved.
Masato Nei listened, but his face remained calm.
He waved his hand and said, "It really has no effect. Let them all stop."
"Congratulations, General." Everyone complimented one after another.
"General, what should we do?" someone asked again.
Hum.
Masato Nei sneered.
He has now calmed down from the shock of seeing Fang Hai Po Nu for the first time.
"It's just a sea defense. The city wall under our feet is not a thin ship wall. Just continue to thicken it. Don't worry about it."
"That's right."
"indeed so."
Everyone nodded.
Chunshan even had an idea flash in his mind.
"General, the sea-breaking crossbow arrows are made entirely of fine iron, and each one is extremely expensive. As we all know, there was a strong earthquake in Qingshi County in Yunchui, which destroyed all the mines and roads. Now there is no iron."
"Maybe Wei Junqian doesn't have a few arrows in his hand. The reason why he piled up so many ballistas is probably just to scare people and force us to go out of the city to fight them in a panic."
"That's right!" The others' eyes lit up and they all high-fived in agreement.
"Xingluo has always been the king of land warfare, but they have never been good at attacking cities. By bringing such a big battle, I'm afraid they want to force us out of the city to fight them."
"Wei Jun is so humble and despicable."
"Fortunately we didn't fall for it."
Otherwise, let alone three thousand, even if Chunshan takes 30,000 people out, I'm afraid it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and he will never come back.
Masato Nei stood still holding on to the city wall, seemingly unaware of the disturbances of the generals around him.
"This general orders us to immediately pass on the news of the sea-defying crossbow appearing in Beiguan to the Sishan Islands."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked coldly towards the Baekje Peninsula in front of him.
Wei Junqian not only brought the Starfall Army here, but also moved so many sea-defense crossbows. The defense of Jinlongtan would definitely be greatly reduced.
Ishikawa Taki's goal was to attack Dinghai Wharf and try to gain a foothold in Huayang County so that he could have a stable food base in the future.
But if Jinlongtan is easier to occupy, then just change the direction.
Anyway, both the Yunchui mainland and the Baekje Peninsula are stronger than the Sashan Islands, and much stronger.
Wow~
At this moment, the noise of the Xingluo soldiers suddenly sounded outside the city.
"Quick, quick, kill them!"
"Don't let them get away."
…
The people at the top of the city subconsciously looked for fame and left.
I saw a group of blood-stained Japanese pirate spies emerging from nowhere, covering each other and running towards the North Customs at high speed.
They were followed by a large group of Xingluo soldiers, firing arrows at them while chasing them.
"Oops!"
Chunshan was so anxious that he smashed the wall.
The distance of more than thirty feet outside the city wall is almost unobstructed, and it is also covered with trenches.
All the spies in this team knew the way back to the city. They kept running towards the city wall without triggering the trap, but the Xingluo soldiers behind them easily closed the distance.
Although they brought shields for cover, within a few seconds, the three people behind were shot by random arrows and fell down in the ditch.
The people in front didn't even look back as if they hadn't heard anything. They all continued to run forward along the safe path.
Run, run, or die!
Genjing Masato looked at this scene, his eyes flashing.
It was not completely dark at this time, but the spies changed their past habits, gave up hiding their whereabouts, and rushed back to the city at all costs, even exposing the safe roads outside the city. They must have some big information in their hands. .
He made a prompt decision.
"Trebuchets and bows and arrows for cover! Prepare to rappel and bring them back at all costs."
"Yes!" Others also knew that the situation was dangerous and took action one after another.
