I saw more huge black spots suddenly appearing on the wide road. Looking closely, I saw that they were densely packed siege equipment.
Just talking about the three-day war, it is impossible for the Yan army to only build such a small number of siege equipment. Zhao Kuo looked at the mighty group of monsters and thought to himself: He has underestimated the methods of this general of the Yan State, and he can actually use fishing techniques to lure out his trump card.
"Woo..." A burst of sound resounded in Zhao Kuo's ears, and then he saw several stone bullets flying over his head in an instant. It was the Huihui artillery camp in the city who saw this and decisively took the initiative to attack the Yan army. Attack launched!
At the same time, the bed crossbow on the city tower immediately adjusted its angle, preparing to destroy the nearest arrow tower.
Everything was so natural, there was no need for Zhao Kuo or Sun Gu to direct it anymore. Obviously, after three days of fighting, the cooperation between the various armies and battalions in the city has reached the point of perfection.
However, Zhao Jun's family was not the only one who made progress in the battle. The Yan army also continued to grow in the battle.
Not only Qing Qin, the chief general of the Yan Army, learned to hide his clumsiness, but also the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Yan Army were making continuous progress.
Just like the Zhao army's heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers that appeared in front of them. After a brief period of confusion, the commanding officer of the Yan Army under the city tower quickly discovered the weaknesses of these invulnerable guys - they were bulky, limited in number, and had a limited attack range.
The city wall is so long, and these iron guys are obviously not many in number and cannot take into account all the city wall sections, so we will put heavy troops on the ladders away from you.
Even at those key points that cannot be avoided, we are no longer worthy of attacking with long swords. Instead, we use spears instead. It doesn't matter if we can't hurt you. We will use spears to restrain you, and then we will deal with other Zhao troops around you.
Although your blade is sharp enough and your armor is thick enough, this equipment must not be light. You will always get tired. We do not seek to kill you immediately. We just want to restrict you. First I'll take care of the other Zhao Jun, and then I'll take my time to take care of you.
It has to be said that Yan Jun's deputy general was not a vegetarian after all. He was able to discover the weaknesses of Zhao Jun's behemoth in such a short period of time, and even designed tactics based on its weaknesses. He was considered a master of tactics.
However, it is not that easy to restrain these behemoths. The wooden spear could not survive even a single encounter in front of Mo Dao, and as soon as the spear fell, several people died on the spot in an instant.
However, this operation has greatly weakened Zhao Jun's attack power. This is the only way Yan Jun can think of.
As for the several bed crossbows of his teammates that had been exposed, Yan Jun's tactics were even more direct. To put it simply, it is a human sea tactic. It does not seek to kill Zhao Jun, but it seeks to rush in front of the crossbow.
If it doesn't work once, do it twice. If it doesn't work twice, do it three times. Needless to say, this kind of tactic can only be accomplished by the elite Yan army. If it were other soldiers, I am afraid that they would not have such a fearless belief in death, and it would be even harder to rush under the crossbow. of combat power.
At this point in the battle, Yan Jun had gone completely crazy! Whether it's the soldiers who climb the city to fight, or the soldiers who push the endless siege equipment all the way, or they are hiding behind countless siege equipment.
. . . . . Zhao Jun, who was already in a weak position, suddenly felt heavy pressure. Even with Mo Dao soldiers stationed at the top of the city, he could not help but retreat.
Facing the completely crazy battlefield, Zhao Kuo still sat in front of the attic in the center of the tower. The long battle consumed Zhao Kuo too much energy, and his ability to continue sitting was already his limit.
Zhao Kuo knew: The crazier the Yan army becomes, the more it means they have reached their limit. As long as it survives this hurdle, Yan and the city will once again be as solid as a rock.
But even so, Zhao Kuo still did not mobilize the final reserve team. Fortunately, perhaps because of Zhao Kuo's calmness and calmness, Zhao Jun, who was retreating steadily, felt at ease a little.
Above their heads, dozens of stone bullets appeared in the air and smashed into the Yan army's rapidly approaching line in twos and threes.
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" is almost constant. The rapid catapults blasted the Yan army's line into smoke and dust.
But even such a large-scale bombardment still failed to stop the Yan army's advance. Looking around, under the salvos of dozens of catapults, the Yan army actually had more than ten arrow towers that arrived under the city tower unharmed.
There was no way, the Yan army's siege equipment appeared too suddenly and too many. Even though the artillery battalion had tried its best, it could not stop the Yan Army's arrow tower.
Seeing that the arrow tower had arrived under the city tower, the only two crossbows on the city tower did not care about the Yan army in front of them. They immediately adjusted their angle and aimed at the nearest arrow tower.
With a "swish" sound, the bed crossbow unleashed its power again, and an arrow thicker than an arm swayed towards Yan Jun's arrow tower.
At the same time, a Yan Jun also quickly came to the bed crossbow, and then waved his sword and cut the bed crossbow into two parts, one knife, one knife and another knife, until he was stabbed in the chest by the long knife.
There was a "click", which was the sound of the bed crossbow cracking;
There was another "click", which was the sound before the arrow tower collapsed suddenly. Almost at the same time, Zhao Jun's crossbow and Yan Jun's arrow tower both turned into powder.
But the terrible thing is that Zhao Jun's four bed crossbows have been wiped out by the Yan Jun elite's desperate attack; but Yan Jun's arrow towers still have ten of them standing more than 20 steps outside the tower. outside.
Soon, Yan Jun's arrow towers were filled with archers, and almost instantly, thousands of arrows fell on Zhao Jun's city wall.
For the first time, Zhao Jun's archers finally felt the fear and suppression of death. Zhao Kuo knew that these guys must be dealt with as soon as possible - at any cost.
Otherwise, under the suppression of these arrow towers, the city tower will soon fall into complete passivity, and a large number of Zhao soldiers will also die under the arrows of the Yan army.
"Send the order." Zhao Kuo looked through the human wall of soldiers and looked at the arrow towers in front of him that were constantly firing arrows. He decisively ordered: "The eighteen catapults will retreat another twenty steps and join three more." As a group, attack the approaching arrow towers and be sure to destroy them one by one!"
"Report to my king: The arrow tower is too close to the city wall. Firstly, there may be a mistake and the stone bullet will fall into the city wall, with disastrous consequences; secondly, the stone bullet is so powerful that even if it hits the arrow tower, it may accidentally injure our army!" Zhao Ping, who was observing Yan Jun's arrow tower, wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"It's okay!" Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense. As a reformer of trebuchets, no one knows the weaknesses of trebuchets better than him. He is also very aware of these consequences. However, compared with the two evils, whichever is the lesser is the worst. Facing the menacing Yan army, he had no choice but to cut off his arm!
"First test fire with three catapults on the left, center and right." Zhao Kuo then continued: "I will replace the other twelve catapults with kerosene and fire bombs, two in groups, try to block the following Yan soldiers and disrupt them. The rhythm!”
"No!" When Zhao Ping saw this, he no longer hesitated and immediately ran down the tower to adjust the stone trebuchet.
Soon, with
"Woo..." A burst of sound resounded in Zhao Kuo's ears, and dozens of stone bullets flew over his head. Then, there was a boom and explosion where Zhao Kuo focused his eyes, setting off a sea of fire!
At that time, the catapults that blocked the attack showed their power first. Immediately afterwards, three more stone bullets volleyed into the air, but this time, the stone bullets looked much larger than the previous ones.
Before anyone could react, the stone bullets had already fallen, and the solid city wall seemed to tremble under the bombardment of the stone bullets!
One of the stone bullets obviously hit far away and landed among the elite of the Yan army who were gathering. Although it killed and injured a lot of people, it also caused a lot of confusion to the Yan army's rear troops who had never participated in the battle and did not know the power of the stone bullets. , but this is not what Zhao Kuo wants.
The remaining stone bullets hit the edge of the city wall directly. The powerful stone bullets smashed down the battlements, and even the nearby sergeants, regardless of Yan and Zhao, were flattened or destroyed. It was directly smashed and flew out. Fortunately, the Yan army was approaching and most of the damage was borne by the Yan army who was ascending the tower.
The other one completely hit the city tower, and all the pressure hit the city wall hard. The shaking of the city wall was also its masterpiece!
Fortunately, the city wall did not collapse, and there were not many soldiers nearby. Apart from the damage to the city wall, other losses were not significant.
This spherical stone bullet was not wasted after all. Then, with the efforts of Sergeant Zhao, it was turned into treasure and rolled down the slope of the city wall. The oversized rolling wooden stone directly connected a ladder with the one above it. The soldiers of Yan Army were crushed together.
However, this blow was like a heavy punch hitting Zhao Kuo's heart. The invincible trebuchet still has its limits after all, and its accuracy is not enough!
Fortunately, only two of them landed on the city wall, but of these two stone bullets, one directly damaged a battlement, making the Yan army's attack easier, and the other almost destroyed the city wall. .
After a volley, the good news is that the stone bullets dropped among the elite troops successfully and temporarily dragged away the Yan army's footsteps, and the stone bullets dropped on the city wall also stopped the Yan army's attack. Live; the bad news is that the ten arrow towers have not been destroyed, which means that the trebuchet troops will fire at least one salvo, and the shock just now is an extremely bad signal - the power of the stone bullets is huge , if fired without restraint, the city wall would be destroyed by his own stone bullets.
Feeling the vibration of the wall and seeing the stone bullets rolling down the city wall, the master craftsmen of the artillery camp were extremely frightened. If the city wall was lost due to problems with their markings, I am afraid that the general would be the first to spare his life. The only one who can’t help it is yourself!
As a result, the master craftsmen knelt down and begged Zhao Ping for mercy: "General, forgive me! General, forgive me!" There was a hint of panic in their words.
After hearing this, Zhao Ping showed his extraordinary side at this time.
