Yunchui Empire, Yumu County.
Beihai Customs.
Boom, boom, boom.
The war drums were deafening and resounded through the sky.
In the small soldier-hiding cave on the top of the city, Masato Nei looked out of the city through the peephole with a stern look on his face.
Buzz~buzz~buzz~
Xingluo Ren had no intention of saving ammunition at all, and launched fifteen anti-sea crossbows at the same time.
The huge and dark crossbow arrows instantly tore through the air, emitted a soul-stirring scream, and flew toward the city wall like lightning.
Boom boom boom!
A series of dull sounds sounded.
Including Genjing Masato, everyone in the Tibetan Soldier Cave felt their hearts skip a beat.
The city wall beneath my feet trembled even more.
"Quick," a military advisor immediately came to his senses, "Let's go see how the city wall is doing?"
Report.
Not long after, a pale soldier ran back.
"General, the Starfall Legion's sea-breaking crossbows fired at high and low levels. Generally speaking, the city wall that was attacked from the front was generally intact. However, eight crossbow arrows were shot deeply into the wall. In addition, the wall stacks above were also damaged. It created a big hole about three feet long."
As for the soldiers guarding there, the soldier did not mention it, but everyone could guess the fate of those people.
Genjing nodded, a hint of haze flashed across his eyes.
He had followed Ishikawa Taki to attack Baekje Golden Dragon Beach several times, and he was deeply impressed by the power of the anti-sea crossbow.
Although the city wall underfoot has been thickened and reinforced several times, it is still not enough in the face of such powerful weapons.
"Quick." The military advisor next to him jumped up and down. "The anti-sea crossbow is powerful, but it takes time to load and activate. Hurry up and send people to repair the city wall..."
Hoo ho ho.
Before the man's voice fell, the harsh wind howl sounded again.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they couldn't help but squeeze through the peephole to look outside.
I saw countless trebuchets starting up, and the sky was instantly filled with dense stones, even faintly blocking the midday sun.
Buzz~
The white scales on the stone generated heat due to friction, and instantly turned into a huge fireball, slamming towards the target below.
"Everyone, please don't be nervous and don't run around."
The calm voices of the Japanese pirate generals came from outside.
"As long as you hide under the battlements and baffles, those broken rocks will never hit you."
Knowing that the enemy was going to attack the city, they made all kinds of preparations.
At this time, a full circle of pine baffles was laid on the city wall, and a thick layer of mud was also laid on the baffles.
It is both rockfall and fireproof.
As long as the Japanese pirate soldiers are short, they can hide underneath.
Boom boom boom.
As soon as the generals finished speaking, fireballs from the sky hit every section of the city wall from beginning to end like rain.
Ahhhh.
Unexpectedly, fierce screams still sounded from the city wall.
At first it was just one after another, but after a while it became more and more intense.
In the end, some soldiers even ran out from under the baffle screaming, regardless of the rain of fire falling from the sky.
what's the situation?
A general saw it and cursed angrily.
"Do you want to die when you run out like this?"
However, the soldiers didn't seem to hear anything, and many people still ran out like crazy, and soon fell one by one under the rain of flint.
Ahem.
At this time, a soldier ran over coughing and crying.
"Chang Bai, the stones thrown by those bastards in Xingluo contained something called rubber in addition to kerosene."
"After this damn thing melts and falls on the city wall, it will splash everywhere, making it difficult to prevent. And once it splashes on someone, it will be like a maggot attached to the bone, which cannot be wiped off or dried. It is hot and fumigated, and cannot be destroyed at all. Lose."
"Brothers really can't stand it."
"Clear the account!" Xiao Baichang was so angry that he was trembling all over. "Didn't I prepare sandbags for you? Why don't you quickly build them up to prevent splashing?"
"Chang Bai," Xiao Bing's expression became even more bitter, "Sandbags can prevent splashes, but they can't prevent smoke."
Hidden Soldier Cave.
A military advisor found out the situation and rushed back anxiously.
He coughed for a long time, finally regained his breath, wiped away the tears, and then saluted Masato Nei.
"General, Xingluo is indeed worthy of its reputation. The trebuchet hit us accurately and hard. Almost all of it hit our city."
"In addition, the stones thrown over were filled with rubber and a lot of chili peppers. The smoke was really unbearable."
Speaking of this, the military advisor hesitated for a moment, seeming to recall the suffocating feeling on top of the city before continuing.
"General, although the number of stone bullets in the city is limited, my subordinates feel that we cannot let the enemy continue to bombard us like this. We still have to respond appropriately to interrupt their attack, otherwise the brothers on the top of the city will really not be able to bear it..."
While the military advisor was talking, the lookout next to him suddenly screamed.
"General, the enemy's boxcars have begun to move out."
As the name suggests, a grid car has a thick grid on the roof to withstand falling rocks, kerosene, bows and arrows, and lime from above.
The dispatch of the fence car usually means that the infantry begins to move towards the base of the enemy's city wall.
However, at this time, under the Beihai Pass, every inch of the ground had been dug to pieces by the Japanese pirate soldiers. In addition to large and small trenches and holes, they were also sprinkled with poison, gold juice, and thorns, all of which were life-threatening.
Therefore, the main purpose of dispatching these fence cars is to cover the engineers below so that they can successfully repair and strengthen the ground surface so that subsequent heavy siege equipment such as heavy ramming cars, city climbing cars, arrow cars, etc. can approach.
Masato Nei moved closer to the cat's eyes and glanced at it a few times.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Start the trebuchet, target... the fence truck outside the city."
As for the trebuchet position of the Starfall Legion, he wanted to attack it.
Unfortunately, most trebuchets cannot reach this distance.
As for those within reach, the number is too small and basically does not constitute a threat.
Soon, the stone trebuchets located at the top of the city and in the city were started one after another, and stones of large and small sizes were whizzed towards the fence truck that was slowly approaching outside.
The fence car can be moved and is generally not easy to fight.
But at this time, due to the pulpy ground and road construction, they moved like snails, which could almost be said to be a dead target.
Boom boom boom.
After the Japanese pirates bombarded them indiscriminately, the dozen or so fence trucks at the front were suddenly scattered into a pile of rubble, revealing the soldiers below who were working hard to repair the road.
On the observation car high behind, Mo Dingshan put down his telescope.
As a general of the Starfall Army, he had never seen anything like this before, and his face didn't change at this moment.
"Have you figured out the location of the Japanese trebuchet?"
Several staff officers were scribbling on paper without raising their heads when they heard the general's question.
"It will take some time to get back to the general."
Um.
Mo Dingshan nodded slightly.
Based on the current position of the fence trucks, the only thing that can attack them is a large trebuchet.
This kind of trebuchet is large and heavy. If you want to move it, you must first disassemble it as a whole before transporting it. Therefore, it is basically impossible to change the position in a short time.
"When you figure it out, pass it to the trebuchet immediately, and let me kill them hard."
"clear."
Mo Dingshan knew this, and Masato Genjing at the top of the city naturally knew this too.
He made a decision immediately: "When we attack the two incense sticks again, immediately use fences and other tools to protect the exposed trebuchets. We must ensure their safety."
"General," a military advisor hesitated, "Isn't two sticks of incense a bit long?"
"How long?" Masato Nei sneered, "You are one of the few calculation geniuses in our army. I will give you the time of three sticks of incense, you can do the math."
The young military advisor blushed, and after a while he murmured, "The general's eyes are as bright as a torch, and his subordinates really can't figure it out in such a short period of time."
"That's it." Masato Nei laughed, "Our Yamato race is much better than the Yunchui people. If you can't even figure it out, then it's even more impossible for them." (End of Chapter)
