A basin of extremely scalding hot water was poured directly from the top of the city.
A gray soldier in the city was unprepared and had the water poured on his face. His face immediately blistered and he covered his eyes and howled in pain.
A sharp black arrow shot down from the air and pierced his throat in the blink of an eye.
While the blood spattered, it also helped him end his pain.
Li Xuan stood behind the city wall, her fingers hanging down.
No one noticed that the arrow in the quiver at his side was missing.
Li Xuan gently tipped his toes, and a piece of wood had been kicked under the female wall.
The soldier on one side didn't even think about it. He picked up Sumu hard and threw him down.
The angular wood suddenly knocked to the ground a Tianyin cultist who was pushing a battering ram below.
The moment he fell to the ground, his head was covered with blood.
However, before he could stand up, a Tianyin cultist behind him had already stepped on his chest and continued to push the battering ram to hit the city gate hard.
On both sides of the battering ram, four ladders were set up directly on the city wall.
One after another, Tianyin cultists were like ants, climbing crazily towards the city wall.
One arrow after another shot directly from the city wall, piercing the necks of one Tianyin cultist after another in the blink of an eye.
One corpse fell to the ground, hitting more corpses on the ground.
Behind them, more people rushed forward crazily.
The Wuzhou soldiers on the city wall pushed the ladder away from the city wall again and again, but soon someone put the ladder up again.
Bows and arrows, wood, scalding hot water, except gold juice, the Wuzhou Army now uses almost all means.
There were at least two hundred Tianyin cultists who fell under the city wall, but there were still countless soldiers rushing toward the city wall frantically and fearlessly.
Death and blood couldn't even make them frown.
"Dong dong dong..." One after another, the huge battering ram hit the city gate heavily again and again.
The city gate kept shaking, as if it would be knocked open the next moment.
Li Xuan stood at the back end of the city wall, calmly feeling all the movements up and down the city wall.
The fingers moved slightly from time to time, and every time, an arrow disappeared from the quiver, and someone was immediately penetrated through the throat under the city.
Li Zhu, who was standing behind Li Xuan, silently placed the new quiver beside Li Xuan and took away the old quiver at the same time.
Everything is as skillful as playing a game.
Suddenly feeling something, Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and subconsciously looked to the southeast.
He murmured, "The wind is starting to get stronger."
After saying this, Li Xuan strode forward, stood directly at the crenel, lowered his head and looked down.
Under the city gate, there are densely packed heads.
Luo Yongjie had already sent out all his men who could be dispatched, and frantically attacked the city gate.
For a time, the city gate was already crumbling.
Luo Yongjie from behind was staring even more nervously, as if the city gate would be knocked open in the next moment.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Luo Yongjie in the dense forest in the distance.
At this time, Luo Yongjie was already unknowingly standing at the front of the dense forest that Li Xuan had deliberately set aside.
The moment Li Xuan looked at Luo Yongjie, Luo Yongjie also noticed Li Xuan's gaze.
The moment he raised his head, the long bow he was carrying appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he opened the bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Li Xuan and shooting an arrow.
The sharp arrow kept spinning in mid-air, but in the blink of an eye, it had hit Li Xuan's eyes.
Two jade-white fingers suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the sharp arrow that was rushing forward stopped dead in mid-air as if someone had suddenly grabbed its throat.
Then, Li Xuan threw the sharp arrow downwards. In an instant, the sharp arrow had penetrated the throat of a Tianyin Cultist.
Blood splattered.
Turning around, Li Xuan had already walked quickly to the back and walked down the steps to the city gate.
Standing on the steps, you can clearly see that in the barbican city, eight trebuchets are lined up and aimed at the city gate in front of you.
Next to each trebuchet are several veterans preparing to launch.
Feng Hua, the Wuzhou scholar who joined the army, stood at the back of the crowd. When he saw Li Xuan appearing on the steps of the city wall, he immediately bowed solemnly.
Li Xuan walked down from the city gate step by step, walked past each trebuchet, walked to Feng Hua's side, then turned around and said softly: "Let's start!"
"Start!" Feng Hua shouted loudly.
The next moment, all the soldiers immediately started to move.
The rounded rolling stone was placed in the hanging basket at the rear, and the soldiers in front had already begun to check the angle again.
The angles of the trebuchet are all preset and adjusted in advance. Now let’s make the final confirmation.
After all the catapults were approved, Feng Hua waved forward with his right hand.
The next moment, eight rolling stones flew straight away from the urn city, and then flew directly into the sky while grazing the city wall.
The rolling stone kept spinning in the high air, and finally quickly fell to the ground, hitting the steps seventy steps away from the city wall.
With a "bang", a head was smashed to pieces.
The rolling stone then hit the chest of the other person behind him, knocking him down to the ground.
Eight rolling stones killed at least a dozen people with just one blow.
Before those Tianyin soldiers could react, more rolling stones fell directly from mid-air again.
Some of them did not control their strength enough, and the rolling stones directly hit the soldiers further behind.
This time it didn't hit anyone, it hit the ground directly. After bouncing twice, it began to roll forward quickly, and finally hit a calf directly.
With a "Kacha" sound, the calf was directly smashed: "Ah!"
The tragic wailing instantly sounded in the military formation, and the sound was loud and clear.
Dozens of rolling stones came down, and a large piece of space among Luo Yongjie's soldiers immediately became empty.
When Luo Yongjie saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but jump, and his gaze instantly jumped to the city gate.
At this time, the city gate was already crumbling, and someone directly knocked open a gap.
But at this moment, Luo Yongjie felt extremely dangerous.
The front and back formations were disconnected.
"Hurry up, everyone, rush forward." Luo Yongjie was the first to rush forward.
This is his decision.
However, at the beginning, he was still at the front, but at some point, he fell behind.
Standing in the grove, he watched the remaining soldiers rush towards the city gate like crazy.
And he was just watching nervously.
Veteran soldiers on the battlefield are always ruthless in their quest for survival.
"Bang bang bang..."
Rolling stones kept falling from mid-air, and in the blink of an eye it was covered in blood.
At this time, Luo Yongjie suddenly discovered that the position where the rolling stone fell was shrinking rapidly backwards and toward the bottom of the city wall.
Looking up, Luo Yongjie immediately discovered that the height at which the rolling stone was thrown was much higher than before.
This time it fell from a high place, and its power was even more terrifying.
"How on earth did they do it?" Luo Yongjie's face was suddenly full of astonishment. He never thought that the catapult could be used like this.
This was completely different from what he had thought before.
…
Behind the city gate, in the barbican, Li Xuan watched calmly as the gate was knocked out by wooden stakes to create a gap, and he could even clearly see the struggling faces of the Tianyin soldiers behind him.
But at this moment, he just glanced lightly, and then raised his head directly.
"Trebuchet, raise the height one space."
Li Xuan gave the order, and the trebuchet was immediately thrown upward, and then hit the Tianyin soldiers outside hard.
Immediately, his head was smashed and blood flowed, and his bones and tendons were broken.
parabola.
Parabolic method.
Although some people have mastered this method of controlling the trebuchet at this time, most of them only know one but not the other.
But Li Xuan knew how to operate the trebuchet very simply.
In fact, Li Xuan also wanted the rolling stones thrown by the catapult to extend backward again, but the principle of parabola and the height of the city wall have directly determined the maximum distance at which the catapult can throw rolling stones.
The rest is just personal operating skills.
The rolling stones flew higher and higher, and the ones outside the city wall fell closer and closer.
A soldier holding a shield was directly hit by a rolling stone. The shield was directly smashed and the person was directly killed.
Even if they can't be killed, a crossbow arrow on the city wall will kill many people directly.
There was a loud "bang", and the city gate shook violently again.
"Dong dong dong!" The impact of the battering ram and the city gate became lighter and lighter.
Although Li Xuan didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew roughly what happened.
At this time, he looked at the catapults on both sides and calmly ordered: "Start extending backwards."
Li Xuan gave an order, and rolling stones one after another began to quickly look towards the back outside the city gate.
The Tianyin cultists who had just rushed up from behind were directly hit, and their heads were smashed one by one.
The mountain path outside the city gate is so narrow that even if eight rolling stones are placed flat together, it is enough to cover the entire mountain path.
At this time, Li Xuan slowly stepped forward.
Walking to the two trebuchets on both sides of the center, he immediately ordered: "Change the stone, it should be as big as a fist."
"Follow the order!" The soldier behind immediately put a fist-sized stone in the basket behind him.
With a "bang", the city gate suddenly opened a thick gap, and the Tianyin cultists behind it immediately became excited.
However, at this time, Li Xuan went straight through the gap and landed in the dense forest three hundred meters away. At a glance, he saw Luo Yongjie.
Li Xuan pressed her left hand on the trebuchet on the left and ordered softly: "Leave two to the right."
Li Xuan pressed her right hand on the trebuchet on the right side and ordered softly: "Left two."
The two trebuchets immediately began to adjust their distance slightly.
"Let go!" Li Xuan ordered, and two fist-sized stones flew out.
In the blink of an eye, two stones flew up directly after grazing the crenel, and flew further away after grazing the heads of the two soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, it had already crossed the distance of three hundred meters, and smashed hard towards the dense forest below.
The howling wind sounded, and Luo Yongjie raised his head sharply, looking at the two rolling stones with a look of astonishment on his face.
In an instant, the long knife on Luo Yongjie's waist was unsheathed and slashed directly at the two rolling stones.
The sword flashed, and blood stood up.
A head was smashed directly into pieces.
Blood spurted out rapidly from his neck.
Just a little bit off.
Luo Yongjie's extremely confident knife fell short of the target in an instant.
The result this time was that his head was directly smashed.
"Send the order, Qianniu Guards attack, chase and kill them after seventy steps, and leave the rest to the Kuaiji Mansion soldiers."
