"No need to panic, everything is my military order and has nothing to do with you." Zhao Ping said calmly: "The arrow tower is indeed too close to the city wall. Pay close attention to debugging, quickly record the gap between the respective targets and landing points, and make a decision. Adjust the distance to take three or five steps forward, and the distance to take two steps back. Be careful to avoid hitting the city wall directly! Let's try again."
"Yes." After receiving Zhao Ping's guarantee, the master craftsmen immediately continued to work on modifying the parameters as if they had been granted amnesty.
. . . . . The deputy general of the Yan Army who was already on the front line finally had a personal understanding of the power of Zhao Army's stone bullets, and at the same time he could not help but secretly admire his general's ingenious plan.
If Zhao Jun's bed crossbows hadn't been lured out first, and then a large number of arrow towers had been sent out under the cover of night, I am afraid that with such power, the arrow towers would not have been able to be sent under the tower.
Fortunately, everything is a foregone conclusion. Even if Zhao Jun is unwilling to give in, there is nothing I can do! With so many arrow towers assisting the battle, the lieutenant general is very confident that he will completely defeat this abominable Yanyu City in just one night!
However, Yan Jun obviously underestimated Zhao Kuo's determination. Zhao Jun was obviously unwilling to destroy these arrow towers. He would rather smash them on his own city wall, or even risk the destruction of the city wall to destroy these arrow towers.
does it worth? Zhao Kuo knows that it is definitely worth it! Do not believe? Just look at the dense rain of arrows flying in the sky!
Yes, before Zhao Jun's catapults could be used again, the Yan Jun deputy general here had ordered the archers to quickly board the arrow tower to suppress and kill Zhao Jun on the tower!
With the Yan Army's archers on the ten arrow towers in place, the Yan Army was basically tied with the Zhao Army in terms of air power for the first time.
"咻咻咻..." Zhao Jun, who boarded the arrow tower, quickly started taking action. Countless arrows rushed out from the arrow tower and headed straight towards Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun on the city wall, watching the arrow tower advance, was actually prepared. Even at several points where there were arrow towers, Zhao Jun took the initiative to gather in, and based on the shield soldiers, they formed a defense in twos and threes. The group, while avoiding the attack of the Yan Army's arrow rain, resisted the attack of the Yan Army's ground troops.
The ones who reacted faster were Zhao Jun's archers. The crossbowmen who originally fought in small units quickly gathered together. At the same time, they also changed the target of suppression from Yan Jun's infantry to Yan Jun's arrows. Above the tower archers.
However, Zhao Jun responded quickly and effectively, and the countermeasures were almost a textbook process, but the actual results were minimal.
On the one hand, although the archers of the Zhao Army had the upper hand, they lost their geographical advantage. Coupled with the lack of military strength, although they could suppress the archers of the Yan Army for the time being, as time goes by, they will inevitably On the other hand, the concentration of archers and infantry led to insufficient defensive forces on the side. The Yan army immediately seized this gap again and continuously strengthened the area around the arrow tower. attack.
For a time, like a fuse, under the suppression of the arrow tower, Zhao Jun was in panic everywhere on the city wall.
Fortunately, the heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers played a key mainstay role at this time. At the most critical node, the Mo Dao soldiers formed groups of two and three, killing the Yan army so that they did not dare to get close.
However, after all, the number of Mo Dao soldiers was only fifty. After being divided into groups of two and three, the distance between the city walls that could be controlled became shorter and shorter.
Seeing this, Qing Qin, who was still in the middle army, was even more happy. He did not expect to be able to capture the city directly in this way, but at least he could at least take advantage of Zhao Kuo's situation when he was in dire straits. Got it.
And as long as Zhao Kuo uses all his cards, the world will be completely ruled by Yan Jun. Involuntarily, Qing Qin's eyes slowly fell into the darkness from the east and west.
That's right, since the battle of the south gate started completely, the battle of the east and west gates immediately came to a halt.
And in the darkness, Qing Qin's soldiers were quietly moving around and towards Yanyucheng.
"Send the order: The front army speeds up and continues to attack Yanyucheng!" General Qing Qin immediately ordered.
"Promise!" the messenger immediately promised. Immediately, in the Yan army's formation, the rapid drum beat sounded again, which was the war drum urging the front army to continue the attack.
In fact, the Yan army no longer needs to continue urging. The elite Yan army in the front army has already exhausted all their strength!
Just when the drumbeats of the Yan army's central army sounded, the whistling sound sounded again on the towers of Yanyu City. It was the Zhao army's stone catapults that were showing off again.
With three "booms", the huge stone bullets quickly fell to the ground. Although the catapult still failed to destroy even one arrow tower, it did not cause any more damage to the walls of Yanyu City.
The deputy general of the Yan army sneered lightly, and then commanded the Yan army to continue attacking the tower. Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the city tower, looked at the stone bullet that still failed to hit. Although he felt a little regretful, he was also very happy. Without him, the stone bullet was visibly closer to the damn arrow tower. .
Sure enough, after a hail of arrows from Yan Jun, Zhao Jun's catapult fired again, but this time the stone bullets were no longer just three!
A total of eighteen stone bullets roared towards him. In groups of three, they pounced straight towards six arrow towers.
After two corrections and recalibrations by the master craftsmen, the stone bullets finally paid off. Not only did not one of them fall on the city wall, but they also destroyed two Yan Army arrow towers.
Although the accuracy was only one-third, it shocked Zhao Jun's morale. Obviously, everyone knows that if two arrow towers can be destroyed this time, the remaining eight arrow towers will be no exception, and as the master craftsmen continue to make corrections, the destruction will only become faster and faster.
However, no matter how fast it is, it still takes time! Time, at this point, has temporarily become Yan Jun's ally.
Zhao Jun understood that as the deputy general of the Yan Army, he would naturally understand that he must send enough elites to the tower before the arrow towers were completely destroyed.
By then, even if Zhao Jun destroys the arrow tower, it will be of no avail! Without hesitation, with a pointed sword, the elite team behind the siege equipment finally formed, and then everyone climbed up the ladder with their weapons in hand.
The captain of the reserve team on the side immediately stepped forward and asked for a fight again: "General, we ask for a fight." Zhao Kuo looked at the infantry of the Zhao army who were retreating step by step on the city wall, and his heart moved slightly, and he was almost about to kill himself. The last trump card came out, but he still held back after all.
"Go back to where you should be and wait for orders! It's not time to use you yet!" After saying that, he took a deep breath, raised his sword, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Follow me." Wei wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Zhao Kuo's soldiers.
Looking at Zhao Kuo's retreating figure, the captain almost broke his back teeth. The captain who returned to the entrance of the corridor said nothing and stared dully at his comrades who were still fighting in blood not far ahead!
His face was horribly livid!
"General!" Qu Changgang said two words before being persuaded to retreat by the captain's gloomy eyes. Wisps of resentment rose above the heads of the reserve troops, and turned into waves of murderous intent. They were like ferocious and hungry tigers, staring eagerly at the Yan army in front of them, just waiting for their general. Open the fence and it will turn into a real tiger, tearing everything in front of it into pieces.
However, their general, who can bring them a cage, is facing a life and death crisis!
Due to the long time of fighting the fire, in order to avoid unnecessary wear and tear of the personal guards, Zhao Kuo had already arranged for the personal guards to take turns to rest. Now there are only four personal guards guarding Zhao Kuo.
Although there were only four soldiers, including Zhao Kuo, there were only five people, but this small team was able to kill an army.
Seeing that the elite rear troops of the Yan army had already climbed onto the city tower, they were killing the Zhao army's soldiers in retreat with the arrow rain from the arrow tower.
Without any more explanation, Zhao Kuo brandished his sword and went up to kill him! With one blow, I could only hear
Several "Puff" sounds were heard, and several Yan troops fell down in response! With another backhand strike, the Yan army's vanguard was immediately killed and took two steps back. The Zhao troops on the side, already familiar with the cooperation with their king, stepped forward one after another and chopped down the left and right wings of the Yan army. Zhao Kuo took another step forward and chopped again. The Yan army then retreated again, and the heavy soldiers of the Zhao army continued to follow up until they forced the Yan army back under the ladder.
"Okay!" General Qing Qin, who was in the middle army, quickly learned the news of Zhao Kuo's reappearance from the messenger's message.
Although he had defeated another Yan army of his own, Qing Qin didn't care at all, and even felt secretly happy in his heart.
He knew that the opportunity had come! Zhao Kuo, who was already exhausted, was forced to come out to kill the generals again. This was not the time to start a war.
When you are sleepy, if you are not careful, you will die on the spot! Zhao Kuo was so willing to take such risks that he was undoubtedly in a desperate situation. There was only one possibility - Zhao Kuo no longer had any trump cards available.
Qing Qin took another look at his own soldiers, who seemed to have begun to merge outside the south gate from the east and west, and would soon be within the attack range.
That was the last trump card in Qing Qin's hands - taking the leader of his own soldiers as the leader, supplemented by his own elite soldiers, and adding a hundred skilled soldiers from each army, to obtain the elite 500 of the elite.
These five hundred people were Qing Qin's last heavy blow to Yanyucheng. Whether it is to directly solve Zhao Kuo's troubles, or to directly penetrate Zhao Jun's defensive front, these five hundred people are enough!
What's more, there are eight arrow towers! Oh, no, it should be six seats. While Qing Qin was rejoicing, two more arrow towers were destroyed by Zhao Jun's catapults.
"Send the order, move the arrow tower." Yan Jun's deputy general immediately ordered. Obviously, the efficiency of the Zhao army's catapults shocked the Yan army's lieutenant general. If they continue to move forward like this, the remaining arrow towers will be completely destroyed in a short time.
