In the queue, Li Shiji, Yuchi Jingde, and Hou Junji were looking at the distant city wall with binoculars.
There were also densely packed Goguryeo soldiers standing on the city wall.
"Hey, General Li, do you think they will really be scared if we put up this formation?" Yuchi Jingde asked while looking at the Goguryeo generals on the city wall.
"When the two armies are fighting, the priority is to attack the heart." Li Shiji said with a smile.
"Is it necessary? Our current strength can directly crush them." Yuchi Jingde asked.
"His Highness asked us to reduce casualties as much as possible. After all, whether it is us or the other side, they will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future." Hou Junji smiled beside him.
"Okay, what's the next step in this situation? You can't just show it to them and scare them, right?" Yuchi Jingde put down the telescope in his hand, although the expression on the opponent's general on the city wall was really disturbing. Feeling happy.
But since we can't attack the city, what should we do next?
"Order the siege troops to use large crossbows and a crossbow arrow, give the opponent a letter of persuasion to surrender, and use the ringing arrows to aim at the female wall." Li Shiji said with a sneer.
"Yes!" The orderer next to him quickly passed on the order.
At this moment, a crossbow located at the main gate of Liaodong City received the order and quickly began to be cocked. Several small crossbow arrows next to it were all removed, leaving only an armor-piercing arrow with a special-shaped arrow shaft.
The arrow shaft on this crossbow has several sets of special holes drilled into it, and has some special structural shapes. It can make a sharp whistling sound after the crossbow arrow is extended, which is extremely harsh.
First stuff a circle of rolled paper into one of the holes.
Because the crossbow arrows of the large bed crossbow are extremely thick, its sound is also more convenient than the traditional sounding arrows used in ordinary bows and arrows.
As for why he targeted the female wall, Li Shiji naturally wanted to attack her heart first!
He had already obtained the data on the female wall of Liaodong City. It looked like a tall city wall, but because the city wall was not thick enough, the female wall was only one and a half bricks thick, and it had no problem protecting against ordinary arrows.
But there is no way to protect the large bed crossbows in their hands.
Even if this large bed crossbow is the female wall of Chang'an City, if the distance is slightly closer, it can be shot directly through it with a special steel armor-piercing arrow. Although it can only let the arrow break through the wall, it cannot penetrate completely. .
But the city wall of Liaodong City in front of them could not stop its power at all.
Lin San, the captain of the bed crossbow unit, who received the order, sneered and said: "Old Hei, if you can't hit the female wall, I tell you, don't even think about me introducing you to your mother-in-law when you go back. I will introduce you to Ding Mazi." Not to you either."
"Haha, Lao Hei, did you hear that? If you can't do it, I'll do it. Otherwise, your wife will be gone." Another man next to him said loudly.
"Go away, I can do it." Lao Hei cursed fiercely, and then quickly began to adjust the shooting angle of the bed crossbow.
This distance of about two hundred meters only requires a slight adjustment for the large bed crossbow he is currently operating.
…
"General, be careful!" All the soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, because all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty below were as motionless as iron men made of steel, and one of the crossbows started to operate, which was naturally the most eye-catching.
All the Goguryeo soldiers directly in front of the bed crossbow on the city wall changed their faces wildly, and Sun Daiyin was naturally frightened to the point of numbness.
But he couldn't just dodge like a bereaved dog. He could only suppress the fear in his heart and wait until the other party had almost cocked the crossbow and started aiming before he started to dodge.
But it was precisely because of this behavior that Sun Daiyin discovered why the opponent's large crossbow, which was obviously not small in size, could be cocked so easily.
Is it very powerful?
Just as Sun Daiyin finished his thoughts of avoiding, he heard a sharp buzzing sound of "hiss..." that resounded throughout the sky.
Then there was a huge "boom", a muffled sound like thunder, and the half-waist of the female wall three or four meters away from him suddenly exploded with a huge bang!
A thick crossbow arrow shot directly through the parapet wall, shattering the bricks on the parapet wall and exploding in all directions. The crossbow arrow that penetrated the parapet wall directly grazed a thick wooden pillar of the city tower. , a lot of wood chips exploded and got into the tower, making a "crackling" sound.
I don’t know what was shot through inside.
But the scattered bricks of the parapet made the soldiers hiding around the parapet let out several screams.
Fortunately, there were no soldiers hiding behind the part where the crossbow arrow penetrated the female wall, otherwise...
Sun Daiyin glanced at the tower behind him with lingering fear. One of the tower's support pillars, which was several feet thick, seemed to have been bitten and shattered into pieces. The crossbow arrows were shot directly into the tower.
On the inner side of the hole in the female wall, a piece the size of a basin fell out.
Sun Daiyin's scalp felt numb... What kind of fucking power is this? !
Not to mention shooting someone directly, even if you shoot someone after penetrating the female wall, you will definitely die even if you are wearing heavy armor!
Sun Daiyin never thought that a crossbow arrow could even penetrate the female wall!
There was silence on the walls of Liaodong City. If this was a game at this moment, I am afraid that just this moment would reduce morale by at least 50%.
There was also silence outside the city, but it was still silence. The momentum outside the city and on the city wall were completely different concepts.
Sun Daiyin stood up boldly without hearing the shouts of killing or the sound of military drums outside the city.
When he stood up and looked outside the city, it was obvious that the formation of the Tang army outside the city had not changed at all, but this glance made Sun Daiyin feel suffocated.
A terrifying sense of chilling and condensed momentum seemed to come from an overwhelming oppression.
It was obvious that the formation of the Tang army had not moved at all, but at this moment, Sun Daiyin felt an unspeakable fear in his heart! Because the large bed crossbow that just shot him was placed every ten steps or so, and there were two rows staggered in front and back!
Then these two rows of large bed crossbows stretched to the ends of the city walls on both sides. On the width of the city wall of nearly 1,400 steps (Note 1), there were at least close to 300 large bed crossbows!
He did not count the number of bed crossbows that were slightly smaller in size and controlled by two people in front of the large bed crossbow. There were more of those bed crossbows! What's even more frightening is that there are at least dozens of crossbow arrows in the crossbow arrow baskets placed next to these bed crossbows.
Note 1: The method of calculating a step in Goguryeo is the same as that in the Tang Dynasty. It is one step for each left and right foot, which is about 1.5 meters in modern times. Stand with your feet side by side, step out with your right foot, and then step forward with your left foot. Determination is one step.
