The eight thousand army marched toward the mountain along the mountain road in a mighty manner.
After walking for a long time, they arrived halfway up the mountain and were blocked by a towering wall.
"Why the hell is Qingfeng Village building a wall halfway up the mountain?"
When Ye Xing saw this, he immediately cursed and then ordered,
"The whole army gathers, the front troops line up and charge, and lay down this stronghold wall for me!"
The village wall in front of you is located between two hills, with dense forest on one side and a slope cliff on the other. In the past, Qingfeng Village often ambushed people here and threw stones down. Now, a wall has been built here quickly. There is still a stone gate in the middle for people to pass through.
Following Ye Xing's order, two thousand former troops charged towards the village wall in a mighty manner.
Suddenly, countless heads appeared above the stronghold wall, all holding repeating crossbows and broken military crossbows, all placed on the stronghold wall.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Lin Guang's order, the soldiers of Qingfeng Village on the wall pulled the trigger without hesitation. Arrows streaked across the sky, and with an urging whistle, they landed among the people attacking the city.
In an instant, wailing sounds filled the air. Some of the soldiers rushing in front were shot into hornet's nests by repeating crossbows, some were turned into meat skewers by broken military crossbows, and some were flattened by large stones thrown down.
The powerful firepower on the wall made Ye Xing a little surprised. No matter how smart he was, he knew that he could not attack by force at this time. The opponent was standing on a high ground and had a good location. If his soldiers attacked by force, they would definitely suffer a lot of damage.
Ye Xing immediately ordered the former troops to withdraw, but in that wave of attacks, at least hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed or injured.
"Made, Gouri's Qingfeng Village has a lot of dirty tricks. Fortunately, the general had the foresight to bring a trebuchet."
"Come here, assemble the trebuchet and blow this wall to the ground!"
Ye Xing gave an order, and the vehicles behind him were immediately pushed up, and many soldiers were busy assembling trebuchets.
On the higher hillside behind the village wall, Nie Chen and Wang Hao, with a large group of people, were watching this scene coldly.
Behind them were five city-breaking crossbows.
Nie Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw the scene of the trebuchet being assembled below. He looked at Wang Hao beside him and said,
"You still have a way. Build a wall and suppress it with heavy firepower, forcing them to assemble the trebuchet. This will give us the opportunity to attack the trebuchet from outside."
Wang Hao smiled slightly and said,
"In this way, they are below and we are above. With the range of the city-breaking crossbow, we can completely cross the wall below and directly destroy the trebuchet. When they go up again, we don't need to worry about their trebuchet attacking us. The wall is under attack."
"As expected of you."
The place where Nie Chen and the others were located was on a gentle slope with high terrain. They could fully deploy the city-breaking crossbow and let the horses run.
It is the best place to ambush the trebuchet with the city-breaking crossbow.
After half an hour, the defenders above were almost asleep, and the trebuchet below was finally assembled.
The people who went to look for stone bullets also came back, carrying big stones and pushing the trebuchet forward.
Nie Chen told Qi Daniao behind him,
"Calibrate the angle and target of the city-breaking crossbow one by one, and be sure to kill the enemy's trebuchet with one blow."
"Don't worry, Second Boss, you know my Big Bird. I never say I can't hit a target accurately wherever I say I want to hit it."
Qi DaNiao said with a smile.
He was originally a hunter and was good at using bows and arrows. Not only could he hit the target with perfect accuracy, but his accuracy was also extremely high. He often hunted more prey than others.
Later, after the Pojun Crossbow was developed, Qi Daniao's talent was put into full play. As long as he aimed at the target, there was no saying that he could not hit it accurately.
Now that most of the soldiers have learned how to use the city-breaking crossbow, Qi Daniao was a little regretful and felt that he had no use for it. However, the second master developed the city-breaking crossbow in a blink of an eye.
Qi DaNiao practiced for several days and basically mastered the use of the city-breaking crossbow.
In his opinion, this is just a large military crossbow. He only needs to understand the parabola angle, flight distance, flight speed, recoil, wind force, deflection angle, maximum range and other things.
An easy batch.
Finally, the trebuchet below had been pushed to the designated location, Lin Guangda shouted,
"Aim at the wall!"
"Prepare stone bullets!"
"put!"
This word "put" was said by Nie Chen.
Following Nie Chen's order, the people behind him immediately cut off the ropes of the five city-breaking crossbows. The horses suddenly lost their restraints and ran forward, and the thick bow strings were instantly ejected.
Whoosh whoosh!
Five arrows as huge as beams were shot down the mountain like cannonballs.
The behemoth crossed the sky, crossed the village wall, and mercilessly slammed into its target.
Behind a trebuchet, a soldier worked hard to put the stone bullet at the end of the trebuchet arm. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and suddenly saw a small black dot rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
"What is that……"
Before he had finished wondering, the huge crossbow arrow shattered the support arm of the trebuchet, and then hit him head-on without losing force.
The young soldier was crushed to pieces before he could see what was attacking him.
The crossbow arrow stopped after crushing several people, and plunged into the ground, making a buzzing sound.
This is not an isolated phenomenon, the other four trebuchets also suffered the same fate.
Ye Xing stared blankly at the trebuchet in front of him, which was destroyed by the wooden sticks flying from the sky with a devastating force. He also saw that his soldiers were turned upside down one by one, and there were no bones left after being shot. He was shocked and widened. My mouth doesn't know what to say.
No matter it was him, the other soldiers were also frightened.
The City-Breaking Crossbow achieved meritorious service in the first battle. When Nie Chen saw this scene, he smiled contemptuously, waved his hand, and led everyone to pull the City-Breaking Crossbow and retreat towards the stronghold.
After Lin Guang composed himself, he roared,
"Charge! Charge me! No matter what, we must take down this wall and destroy those weapons!"
"kill!"
The general gave the order, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey and rushed towards the village wall.
Upon seeing this, Lin Guang sneered and gave the order again to fight back with all his strength. For a moment, the arrow rain struck again, shooting mercilessly at the officers and soldiers attacking the city below.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless crossbow arrows came like a torrential rain, causing heavy casualties to the officers and soldiers below. Blood soaked the mountain road, making it slippery, making it impossible to stay and making climbing more difficult.
The mountain road is so narrow that thousands of people cannot charge together. Those in front cannot go up, and those behind cannot move forward. They can only be blocked here and become living targets.
