These stone bullets, not only smashed the city wall, but also killed a lot of people, the Jizhou army hated it to the core, this time with these stone bullets to fight back and the state army, with the way of others to govern their bodies, it is indeed super cool.

Jiang Xiu also praised the soldier who was the first to throw the stone bullet down, although this move is not much different from throwing wooden stones, but it is a special relief for qi, and it is naturally of great benefit to improve the sluggish morale.

The stone bullets are about fifty or sixty pounds each, and the Jizhou army is not too difficult to pick up, not to mention that there are many stone bullets that are damaged.

Jiang Xiu was in a good mood, and at this moment, a soldier reported to him: "Jiang Taishou, and the state army has stopped attacking......"

Jiang Xiu laughed and said, "I guess they were stunned by these stones." ”

"......No," the soldier muttered, "and the state soldiers are picking up those stones......

Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly poked his head out of the city, that's right, although the Bingzhou army stopped attacking, it did not retreat, but picked up those stone bullets scattered on the ground under the city.

These stone bullets are carved with relatively hard stones, after hitting the target, these stone bullets are not completely broken, nearly half of the stone bullets are still intact, obviously the attack of the state army is a cover, in fact, they came to pick up stone bullets, these picked up stone bullets, and will be reloaded to the catapult for launch, for a second attack.

Jiang Xiu was immediately remorseful, just before the Jizhou army threw down all the stone bullets remaining in the city, didn't it fall into the hands of the state army, he was really stupid, and actually sent these stone bullets back to others for nothing.

Jiang Xiudu couldn't wait to slap himself, and the state army took the risk to come to pick up stone bullets, indicating that their stock of stone bullets was already limited, and he was good enough to act as a porter for others, did he think these stone bullets were not smashed hard enough?

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Jiang Xiu was angry and ruined, the matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable, but at this moment, the Bingzhou army is still under the city, and it is still within the range of the bow and arrow, so he hurriedly released the arrows and intercepted these Bingzhou soldiers under the city, if he wants to grab these stone bombs back, then leave his life behind!

The archers of the Jizhou army poured up to the city one after another, shooting arrows at the city.

But since Yanghu sent troops to the city to snatch the stone bullets, he must have kept his back hand, if there is no cover, then these soldiers who rushed to the city will not become a live target?

Most of the soldiers sent up were shield soldiers, and each of them carried the shield soldiers to the top of their heads and shoulders, and after rushing up, they held a shield in one hand and a stone bullet in the other, and then many people gathered together to form a shield array, and slowly retreated.

Of course, self-protection is one aspect, and on the other hand, Yanghu sent a lot of archers to suppress the defenders under the city, so that the defenders did not dare to approach the edge of the city too much.

At the same time, those even the ballista were not idle, constantly attacking the city, compared to the three-bow bed crossbow, the crossbow arrows of the crossbow car are not that thick, and the power is far from the same, but the biggest advantage of the crossbow is the rapid fire, it can fire a crossbow arrow at intervals of a few breaths, the efficiency is ten times higher than the three-bow bed crossbow, and even faster than the rate of fire of ordinary archers.

Hundreds of crossbow wheels can easily cover the head of the city about hundreds of zhang long, cooperate with the archers under the city, and the state army completely suppresses the Jizhou army out of breath, and the defenders can only cower behind the city head to avoid the arrows that are as dense as flying locusts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the state adopted the method of pulling people to carry the cart to transport back the relatively complete stone bullets under the city, as for the stone bullets that have been damaged, they have been abandoned, the use of stone bullets pays attention to integrity, and the damaged stone bullets have lost their value.

Despite this, the harvest of the Bingzhou army is still quite rich, and the 1,000 stone bullets can almost be recovered to 500, which is equivalent to them transporting nearly half of the stone bullets from Youzhou, omitting the cost of long-distance transportation, which is quite a cost-effective thing.

What's more, a large part of the stone bullets were "given away for free" by the Jizhou Army, and the harvest was probably beyond Yanghu's expectations.

Looking at the Bingzhou army that was leaving, Jiang Xiu beat his chest and was frustrated, the huge power of the catapult of the Bingzhou army had caused great damage to Lecheng's city wall, and if it continued to bombard in turn, Jiang Xiu was worried about whether Lecheng's city wall could withstand it.

At this time, Jiang Xiu's greatest hope is that the Bingzhou army will run out of bullets and will not be able to attack with catapults again, so maybe he can breathe.

In fact, the Bingzhou army did have a shortage of stone bullets, otherwise they would not have sent troops to grab the stone bullets, which was originally a situation that was beneficial to the Jizhou army, but because of the stupidity of a soldier, they made a fatal mistake, they threw countless stone bullets down, and did not hurt many of the Bingzhou army, but they were all picked up by the Bingzhou army, such a result, how not to make Jiang Xiu is resentful.

In order to vent his anger, Jiang Xiu ordered the initiator who was the first to throw stone bullets to the city, although Jiang Xiu also knew that even if he was not the first, someone would throw stone bullets down, but someone had to take the blame for this matter, so this guy could only consider himself unlucky.

With a scream, the soldier fell from the top of the city, this height, if he fell, it would almost become a meat pie, he was secretly excited about his witty actions just now, and he was thrown alive in a blink of an eye, this soldier was desperate, I am afraid that the biggest thought has been regretted, if it is not for himself to take the lead, this inverted frieze will definitely not be his turn.

It was too late to say anything, and in just a few breaths, he fell from the high city to the ground, and his head hit the top of half a stone bullet heavily, and his brain suddenly splashed everywhere, and he died no longer dead.

The troops on this side had completely retreated back to their positions, and the captured stone shells were redistributed to the catapult troops, and the catapult troops, who were already short of stone shells, instantly regained their blood.

At this time, there was no longer a team of the Bingzhou army under the city, and there was no need to worry about the catapult would accidentally injure the robe, so Yanghu ordered, all the catapults were in full swing, and continued to bombard the city wall of Lecheng.
