Chapter Forty-Six: The Beast's Fangs Shine

Of course, Zhu Chuba would not allow this kind of thing to happen, and after shouting the order "Everyone, go down", he continued to climb up quickly along the cloud ladder that was slowly falling backwards. He was about to climb to the top of the ladder, and after a few steps, he had already stepped on the last step of the ladder, and jumped forward along the ladder, Zhu Chuba stepped on the city wall, and stepped the city wall, Zhu Chuba fell to a cloud ladder next to him that had not yet fallen.

Zhu Chuba was so skillful, after landing steadily on this ladder, he didn't dare to stop any longer, his hands and feet were on the edges of both ends of the ladder, and he slid down quickly. In the process of sliding down, the ladder also fell backwards. But at this time, Zhu Chuba had already skipped a long distance, jumped into the air, jumped two or three meters in the air, and fell to the ground without danger.

......

The so-called long stick troops are troops with thick wooden sticks prepared in advance. This long stick was created to deal with the ladder troops, and it was designed to bring the ladder down the city wall. The height of the city wall is 10 meters, and the ladder that can be used to build the city wall must be at least more than 10 meters. Such a long ladder is not enough to bring it down with the length of the manpower, but if the soldiers are held with wooden sticks long enough and in groups of several people, the ladder troops can be made useless without much effort.

The reason why Chakhan Timur did not let the long stick troops enter the field at the beginning, but ordered the slinging troops to throw stones to stop the ladder was to first consume as many local troops as possible through the slinging troops. And when the slinging troops are exhausted, it is time for the longstick troops to show their might. However, when the enemy sees the power of the long stick troops, it is very likely that they will retreat in the face of difficulties, and in this case, they will not be able to create enough consumption. That's why Chakhan Timur will first let the slinging troops consume the enemy's soldiers and horses, and then send the long stick troops once and for all.

Zhu Chuba suffered a big loss, his eyes were cloudy, he looked up at the city wall that could not be seen at a glance, and his heart was infinitely depressed. Han Yu's task was not to storm the city wall, he only needed to attract the attention of the enemy army, and cover the crashing troops to complete the mission successfully. But Zhu Chuba was not satisfied with this, he really wanted to climb the city wall, even if he was the only one who succeeded in doing it, because he wanted to capture Chakhan Timur.

Zhu Chuba looked at the cloud ladder on the ground, and wanted to try it again. But at this time, Zhang Ying arrived with her 5,000 Yue cavalry. Zhang Ying, who was dressed in silver armor, stopped in front of Zhu Chuba.

"General Zhu, your task has been completed, the marshal ordered you to retreat, and we will cover you."

Zhu Chuba was unwilling, but he also understood that this was not the time to be rash, so he had to nod and order the soldiers to retreat.

......

"It's time."

Chakhan Timur has been paying attention to the traces of the crashing troops, which is related to the safety of the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, the advantage of the city wall no longer exists, and at that time the enemy's 300,000 troops will take Yingzhou City with the momentum of breaking bamboo, and with their meager strength, they can only be slaughtered. He saw the Yue cavalry led by Zhang Ying, but he didn't care. The walls are here, and no matter how many troops he gathers under them, it will be useless.

"Archers prepare, crash troops at enemy troops, release arrows."

At this time, Zhu Chuba's advance troops had moved away from the city wall under the leadership of Zhang Ying. Zhang Shicheng glanced at Han Yu, and Han Yu nodded. Luo Guangyu has ordered the catapult to be ready, and the boulder has been filled. From a distance, Luo Guangyu saw Zhang Shicheng's hand stretched out, and then waved it forward vigorously.

This is their agreed gesture, and once this gesture appears, it means that the time has come.

Luo Guangyu stood beside a huge catapult, his thick palms rubbing the smooth skin of this beast, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement.

"Brothers, it's time for the beasts to show their fangs."

The catapult is their trump card equipment, so the warriors in charge of the catapult are all the best of the best. But the peculiarity and importance of the catapults doomed them to not have many opportunities to show up, and for this moment, these warriors all waited a long time. At this moment, there was not a trace of nervousness on their faces, and there was a fierce glint in their eyes. At this moment, they are the souls of catapults, expressing the emotions of these bloodthirsty beasts with their eyes.

Click~

The sound of the machine sounded slowly, and the huge wooden arms of the catapult slowly rose with the boulder. In the next moment, like a leopard that had been gathering momentum for a long time, it suddenly popped up.

Whew~

The piercing sound of breaking through the air spread throughout the battlefield, and the boulder rushed towards the city wall with the help of a wooden arm. When the bloodthirsty beast shows its fangs in front of the world for the first time, it will shock the world.

At this moment, whether it was the enemy or the enemy, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people were all cast on the boulder that was rushing away. Zhu Chuba's eyes were amazed, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. On the other side, Chakhan Timur was the complete opposite, looking at the approaching boulders, Chakhan Timur's face, which had been calm, finally appeared anxious. He expected that the catapult would come out sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be at this critical time.

"A rabble with no combat experience can actually grasp the actual grasp so accurately."

This thought flashed through Timur's heart, and then he hurriedly shouted: "Archers retreat, quickly." ”

He didn't have time for more instructions, only time to say what he could to keep the archery troops alive. In the battle to defend the walls, the role of archers attacking from a distance is crucial, and it must not be compromised, otherwise there will be no means to effectively strike at the enemy far below the walls.

The speed of the boulder was so fast that Timur of Chakhan warned that soon a boulder had already hit the city wall. Fortunately, at such a distance, it was impossible for the catapult to accurately hit the boulders, and the first few smashed into the walls of the city wall. The walls were solid, but when they were hit by a boulder of such great power, they also felt a shaking. The archers had some time to react, but the boulders struck one after another, and the archers who fled were smashed into the center and flowered. For a while, the screams were repeated.

After temporarily retreating to the bunker on the city wall under the cover of the soldiers, Chakhan Timur had time to continue to order: "Pass the order, the archers are scattered, the wall is so long, no matter how powerful their catapults are, they can't take care of every corner." They were ordered to pay attention to the direction of the boulder, and when a boulder hit, crouch down and hide behind the bunker, where there was no boulder, all the archers aimed at the crashing troops and fired their arrows as usual. ”

Chakhan Timur had no way to stop the catapults, but he minimized the role they could play. Chakhan Timur is a seasoned veteran, and this is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it at such times. But to the extreme chagrin of Chakhan Timur, at the moment when he didn't have time to react just now, I am afraid that the losses of the archers were already not small.
