"One, two, three..." Qin Qin, a member of the Chinese army, frowned silently, counting the number of stone bullets in the air, and then murmured: "It seems that Zhao Jun did not rest during this day. Ah!" A rough count showed that the number of stone bullets in the air was more than double that before.
Obviously, either Zhao Jun did not display all the catapults in the battle the day before yesterday, or Zhao Jun took advantage of yesterday's truce to temporarily build more catapults.
Of course, it doesn't matter what the facts are, at least right now, it's not the most important thing. Qing Qin even expected the increase in catapults.
However, Qing Qin was quite surprised by Zhao Jun's strategy of attacking in groups. Obviously, this strategy was almost a strategy to restrain himself from scattering his weapons.
But unfortunately, Zhao Jun's catapult is still so accurate! Even if there are five pieces in a group, each group is still a sure hit, so how can we fight?
"Order: The front army speeds up, regardless of the formation, and quickly penetrates under the city wall. Those who have lost their equipment will help advance the arrow tower nearby!" Qing Qin gave the order directly without any further hesitation.
It has to be said that Qing Qin's reaction was very fast, and his judgment on the power of Zhao Jun's catapult was also very accurate, and the method he came up with to solve the problem was also very simple - win with speed.
However, even if Qing Qin's reaction was fast enough, it would still take time from the transmission of the general's order, to the execution of the general's order, to the acceleration of the sergeants.
During this short period of time to convey the order, Zhao Jun's trebuchets fired two more rounds in unison, destroying twelve arrow towers. It was really a perfect shot!
However, more than half of the thirty arrow towers that Qing Qin had placed high hopes on were lost in an instant. Qing Qin felt that his heart was split in pain.
Fortunately, after the order was conveyed, the vanguard army accelerated again, finally disrupting the rhythm of Zhao Jun's catapult. The fourth round of Zhao Jun's catapult attack only knocked down three arrow towers, and the hit rate dropped sharply by 30%. .
The fifth round that followed was even worse, with only one destroyed. Fortunately, Zhao Ping, who was on top of the city tower, quickly discovered the change in the rhythm of the Yan army based on his previous experience, and decisively ordered to reduce the load and shorten the attack distance. Finally, in the sixth round of attacks, two more arrows were fired. The tower was destroyed, and by the seventh round, the number had risen to three.
It is a pity that after seven rounds, although the Zhao army has adapted to the acceleration of the Yan army, the first two arrow towers of the Yan army have already approached the city wall, but that's all. The last arrow tower quickly disappeared in the sky. The flying rocks turned into fragments and scattered dust all over the ground!
At this point, Yan Jun's arrow towers are gone. However, although General Qing Qin felt very distressed, he could not accept it. After all, the ladders he valued most had almost all arrived under the city wall intact under the protection of dozens of arrow towers with their lives.
Immediately afterwards,
The sound of "bang bang bang" suddenly resounded through the city wall! That was when the catapults of the Yan army, which were slowly behind, showed their power. Although the accuracy of the catapults of the Yan army was not very good, the ones that were thrown close did not touch the city wall, and the ones that were thrown far even hit the artillery camp, but they could not hold them back. There were so many. Fifty catapults were launched at once. Even if only half of the stones were thrown above the city, it would be enough for Zhao Jun to drink a pot.
It's a pity that such majesty is only fleeting. After Zhao Jun's catapults dealt with the arrow towers, they naturally aimed at the same kind of Yan Army catapults.
"咻廻咻" was heard several more times, and Zhao Jun launched a barrage of stone bombs at the Yan Army's catapults that were in formation!
In an instant, the direct blast caused the Yan army's catapult camp to be turned upside down. The Yan army's catapults were destroyed before they could even launch the third round of attacks. The remaining catapults were destroyed one by one by the Zhao army as they hurriedly moved and retreated.
So far, Zhao Jun's catapults have almost perfectly accomplished all the pre-war goals: destroying the arrow towers and seizing the advantage of the crossbowmen on the tower; destroying the catapults and reducing the burden on the city wall.
Of course, for Yan Jun, such a result is obviously acceptable. Not only the teams of ladders, but also the city rush vehicles were safely sent to the foot of the tower of Yanyucheng.
It can be said that the dispersion tactics adopted by Qing Qin have also played their due role. Of course, the most regrettable thing is that the catapult that Yan Jun spent a lot of effort to make, because the accuracy did not meet the requirements, almost did not cause any damage to Zhao Jun and the walls of Yanyu City.
There is no way, the power of technology cannot be useful simply by stacking quantities. I can hit you, but you can't hit me. This is the suppression of technology. Anger is useless!
Fortunately, the generals of both Yan and Zhao seem to be very satisfied with the current results! There is no other reason. General Qing Qin of the Yan Army attaches more importance to the advancement on the ground, so the ladder is what he pays most attention to. Being able to send it up the ladder means that he can take advantage of his large number of troops and consume the Zhao army to death?
Zhao Kuo paid more attention to the advantage in the air. As long as the arrow tower could not enter, he would not be able to suppress the archers on the city wall, nor could it interfere with the attack and defense of the city wall.
As for the ladders, if there are no ladders, the Yan army will also use flying ladders. In order to make up for the disadvantages of flying ladders, the Yan army may bring up more flying ladders, and our army will be even more overwhelmed.
In the end, whether Qing Qin's idea is more stable or Zhao Kuo's is more advanced, all this remains to be tested by time.
While the Zhao army was clearing away the threat of catapults, ladders were already attached to the city wall, and the Yan troops under the wall, each with a sinister smile, stepped onto the ladders and launched an attack on the city head!
Finally, I can climb up this abominable tower and take a look at Zhao Jun’s face! The long swords in the hands of the Yan army soldiers are already thirsty!
Zhao Kuo didn't care much about this, it was nothing more than fighting! Zhao Kuo curled his lips, picked up the long knife beside him, and strode towards the Yan Army ladder in the middle of the city wall!
"Thump thump thump..." The cloud ladder is just easier to use than the flying ladder! Yan Jun, who was tortured by the flying ladder, couldn't help but sigh.
The power of "technology"! However, when they climbed onto the city wall with a comfortable look on their faces, they were greeted by the second round of dense arrow rain from Zhao Jun!
How could the Yan army, without the protection of its shield soldiers, be a match for the sharp arrows of the Zhao army with only its flesh and blood?
Either they were directly pierced and thrown off the ladder, or they were dragged off the ladder by the momentum of the arrow. In an instant, from the top of the Yan Army ladder, one by one, Yan Army soldiers fell down like dumplings!
However, one Yan Army soldier fell, and thousands of Yan Army soldiers stood up! The officers and soldiers of the Yan army rushed towards the city wall on the ladder one after another. Even though the archers adopted a three-stage attack after Zhao Kuo's training, there was almost no time gap, but after all, there was still a gap between the arrows. interval.
So in this extremely small space, the Yan army moved around. After making unremitting efforts, some soldiers finally stood on the wall of the north gate of Haocheng!
Although it was only for a moment... this was already much easier than the previous battle! The thick long knife quickly drew a beautiful curve in the air, making a burst of
The sound of "Woooo..." pierced the air, and then hit hard on Yan Jun who had just stood on the top of the city.
With a "squeak" sound, the long knife slashed across the armor, which was not that thick, and headed straight in the direction of cutting it in two.
With a sound of "Bang...", the sharp long knife was finally stopped by the spine, but the force of the knife did not decrease. The powerful force of the knife directly knocked away the almost broken soldier in front of him.
The huge impact force even knocked down several people on the ladder, and then drew a curve in the air again, and then fell hard to the ground that was already wet with blood.
The blood gushing out of the seven orifices blends with the blood in the soil again, adding a touch of brightness to the land!
The eyes with four lines of blood and tears were wide open, looking upwards in disbelief. Under the fierce northern sun, Zhao Kuo's armor shone brightly, and he stood alone on the towering city wall, waving two long swords in both hands, as if a god had descended.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!" Waves of cheers followed from the tower, and the morale of the entire Zhao army was pushed to another peak by this blow!
Although I have seen the general's demeanor on the battlefield, this sword came too fast and too exciting!
And its result was too violent and bloody, but it was exactly what the soldiers looked up to. How can we not make the soldiers of Zhao Jun cheer?
! However, Zhao Kuo, who was at the center of the storm, looked at the soldiers of Yan Army who had been smashed down the city wall and bled to death. However, he felt calm in his heart. It was obvious that he had experienced the Changping battlefield and was already used to killing, whether he did it by himself or not. .
Zhao Kuo, who was calm, didn't even bother to wipe the blood on the knife, and went straight to the next victim.
And following Zhao Kuo, there were countless soldiers of the Zhao army - the arrow rain became more and more dense, and even the swords slashing at the Yan army became more powerful.
A murderous aura from hell is spreading! If it were not for the constraints of the city wall, I am afraid that the Zhao army would have already rushed into the Yan army's formation and started slaughtering wantonly.
The officers and soldiers of the Yan Army who were still standing on the ladder seemed to feel this strong murderous aura, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!
Even without realizing it, he took a few steps back, and even in the middle and end of the ladder, he accidentally stepped on his back foot and fell directly.
When Zhao Kuo saw this, he curled up his lips again, feeling bored and helpless. It's boring because no one can take the power of his sword; and helpless because, if the Yan army doesn't come up, he has no better way, so he can't really kill him on the ladder!
Zhao Kuo almost used his own strength and the power of his sword to force the Yan army back with great momentum.
The Yan army was in great spirits to attack the city, but Zhao Kuo was able to suppress it with his own strength!
Fortunately, the last two Yan Army arrow towers appeared in time, and arrows poured down like a rainstorm. Zhao Kuo was finally forced back, and the Yan Army's face was saved.
It's just that the battle is getting harder and harder.
