Chapter 532: Breaking the City in One Day

In order to let the army spend a warm night in a cold environment.

At the beginning of the camp, the coalition side built a large number of igloos out of large ice bricks.

Deep in this snow-capped mountain, there is ice everywhere that has existed for an unknown number of years.

I don't know how many years this thing has been around, and the overall hardness is very impressive, but this time the Coalition forces brought in enough saws and axes, and other stronger and sharper iron tools.

Using these tools, the Coalition can easily chisel ice and obtain a sufficient amount of building materials.

Once a sufficient number of igloos had been built, a small bonfire was lit in each igloo.

The natives who hid in the igloo were not very warm, but at least they were within the acceptable range.

In the eyes are full of white snow, and there is not even a single crooked neck tree, it is actually very rare to be able to do such an important point.

Thanks to the departure of the coalition army, under the orders of the alliance leader, Brother Yong.

In the rattan basket behind the coalition army, there were a lot of briquettes that were made in a hurry.

It doesn't take too much of these things to emit a lot of heat for a long time, making it less uncomfortable for the coalition forces to survive the night.

Now, it's finally coming in handy.

On tonight's starry night, there was no real contact between the two sides.

After the construction of the city wall was urgently completed, the savage side did not send people to attack the heavily fortified coalition camp.

To do this kind of thing, except for the loss of troops, there is not much meaning.

But even so, Song Yong never closed his eyes during the entire night.

In the depths of the camp, he took six fingers and other senior craftsmen, as well as a large number of coolies to help, and assembled a variety of war equipment.

Trebuchets, ladders, siege vehicles, watchtowers, bed crossbows, and other various siege equipment were assembled in one go.

I worked until dawn, and I assembled as many as I could, and then stopped the painstaking assembly process.

Then, after everyone had eaten breakfast in a hurry, the great battle naturally broke out.

After a hard night's work, the six fingers who stared at a pair of red eyes and others were in no mood to sleep at all.

It is precisely because of this that they who watched the whole battle knew that their hard work in preparing the materials before, and the all-night assembly yesterday was so worthwhile......

The trebuchet drawings that Song Yong took out were the kind of large-scale trebuchets with heavy loads.

In the history of China in the modern plane, this thing has a more famous name: Huihui Cannon.

The most famous example in history is that when the Yuan army attacked Xiangyang, it was a large number of heavy stone bullets that smashed through the strong walls of Xiangyang.

So after the war began, Song Yong did not immediately let the army charge.

Even, Song Yong didn't even have the idea of using any other equipment except trebuchets.

Under his orders, a total of thirty-six trebuchets were pushed by the crowd to the front of the army, and those bed crossbows were far beyond the reach of the range.

In front of every trebuchet, at this moment stood a gray rabbit tribe, a half-year-old cub.

They used immature voices, or just beginning to change their voices, and in a rather sassy tone, loudly to a group of elders who were a round older than them.

shouted loudly: "Reload~"

In the face of the half-sized cubs and the fake shouts, the elders who were in charge of loading the ammunition did not have the slightest complaint or unhappiness.

Instead, he has a kind of pride in being a kid of his own family.

In the hip-hop, they put the round ice hockey balls, which weighed about 150 pounds, into the leather pocket of the trebuchet's loading position.

In the current snow-capped mountain area, it is naturally impossible to find stones suitable for trebuchets.

However, the effect of the ice bomb processed and polished with solid ice should be the same and quite good.

After the filling was completed, the half-sized cubs finally issued a new order loudly: "Trebuchet prepare, release~"

In an immature sound that sounded almost simultaneously, the hook of the lever was attached to the trebuchet, which was released by the operators.

Under the force of counterweights and levers, thirty-six ice bullets smashed back and forth into the distant ice and snow wall in a few breaths.

Facing the roaring mounds of ice, the wild men defending the city walls were filled with fear.

Unconsciously, they fired the loaded bed crossbow, but unfortunately, the thick bolts flew over a long distance.

Far away from the trebuchet, it fell weakly on the snow.

At the same time, the ice bombs fired by the trebuchet also fell heavily on the city walls.

Unfortunately, of the 36 rounds of ice bombs, only four landed on the city wall, and the others missed, hitting the inside and outside of the city wall.

However, just these four ice bombs, the results achieved are also shocking to the personnel on both sides.

Three of them smashed on the battlements, immediately turning the solid wall stacks of ice and snow into scattered Xiaoice blocks; the flying Xiaoice blocks also stabbed the surrounding savage defenders.

Only one shot hit a bed crossbow, and the wooden bed crossbow was smashed to pieces.

Even the ice bomb that smashed the bed crossbow was still unspent, and after it bounced up again, the entire chest of the two bed crossbow operators was blurred.

Supposedly, this record is quite good.

The problem is that the coalition side that did not wait to watch the battle cheered loudly, and the shouting and scolding of their alliance leader, Brother Yong, was already extremely clear:

"You little kings and eight calves! I usually tell you to study scientific and cultural knowledge hard, and I have learned everything in the dog's belly? Hurry up and recalculate and adjust the trajectory, if you don't hit ten shots next time, I won't be able to kill you. ”

In Song Yong's shouting and scolding, these little cubs hurriedly used their fingers to calculate on the snow on the ground.

The reason why they were able to appear here and pretend to be coerced was because Brother Yong had selected them out of the hundreds of people in the entire Gray Rabbit Tribe.

The purpose of this is to calculate the trajectory of the trebuchet.

Because the power of the return cannon is not bad, but the aiming involved is really more scientific.

This kind of thing, but you have to have a certain amount of mathematical ability.

In Brother Yong's words: These selected cubs, they all now have the mathematics level of the Huaxia tribe and the second grade of primary school.

Although Song Yong also knew that it was a bit difficult to calculate the trajectory of a trebuchet at the level of the second grade of elementary school.

However, who called these half-grown cubs was already far more than the adults of the tribe, and they were the ones with the best math scores in the tribe.

After a short period of adjustment and reloading, another thirty-six rounds of ice bombs were smashed out.

Perhaps it was Song Yong's scolding that played a role, this time with twelve ice bullets hitting the city wall, and when they hit the city wall almost at the same time, the solid city wall shook slightly.

At this moment, the defenders of the wildlings despaired......

From the morning, the Coalition fighters, who were shifting shifts to load and operate trebuchets, continued until two o'clock in the afternoon, smashing thousands of rounds of ice bombs against the poor wall.

By this time, the originally dense bed crossbows at the head of the city had been smashed to pieces along with a large number of defenders.

After missing such a threat, Song Yong gave the order to attack with all his might.

The all-out attack was still very orderly, the warriors carrying ladders and shields slowly advanced, and there were dozens of tall lookout cars in their ranks.

Each of them was a little higher than the city walls, and there were a dozen musketeers on them.

They were condescending and provided strong cover for the attackers, because the savage warriors who filled their spears often did not even have time to throw their throwing guns.

was killed by the volley of the musketeers, and a large number of people were killed at one time.

In addition, there were also siege engines with strong defenses above their heads, which moved straight towards the city gate, during which various stones and ice blocks smashed down against the crashing car, but to no avail.

In this way, the real all-out siege of the city took less than half an hour.

In the rear of the savage army, a long trumpet sounded, for by this time they knew that they could not hold the wall.

Rather than being easily wiped out here, it is better to flee back.

In the mouth of the elder of the Dark Temple, the statement that the coalition army needed to pile up corpses under the city wall in order to bring down this wall immediately became a joke.
