Chapter 110: Chengdu Crackdown on Thieves (11)

"Woo. Whining.. ”

The melodious and dull sound of the horn finally sounded, slowly floating up from the camp of the Feng family army under the city, quickly spreading to the surroundings, floating over the heads of the cloud echelon people, passing through the surroundings of the siege tower car, slowly climbing up the city wall, and jumping into the ears of the defenders at the head of the city, and even in front of them...

The horn of the official siege was finally sounded, and at the same time, the speed of the siege tower car that was less than two hundred meters away from the city wall was also paused, and the death squad soldiers who hid on the spiral ladder behind them quickly climbed upward, and continuously squeezed to the open space at the top of the tower car, and the first to climb to the top of the more than ten unarmed soldiers quickly picked up the shields placed in the open space in an orderly manner, and quickly surrounded a row of shield walls in front of them, protecting the robes behind them.

Then the soldiers who climbed to the top hid behind the shield wall in unison, staggered in rows, with only eight people in each row, but they did not show any panicked looks or actions at all. They all squatted calmly behind the shield wall, and with their right hands quickly pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver behind their backs, quickly put it on the bowstring, adjusted the angle they thought was appropriate, pulled the bow, raised their arms, got up, let go, squatted, and retreated. Then the second row of ready-to-prepare companions went up, still doing the same thing, drawing the bow, raising the arm, getting up, letting go, retreating...

The two siege towers, each time only sixteen people can shoot feather arrows at the defenders at the head of the city, the number can be described as insignificant, but the price, the composure and the determination to fight to the death to win fame led them to use their usually well-trained skills to the extreme. At the time when they usually shoot three arrows, they can shoot four feathered arrows smoothly and effectively, and they can grasp the best strength and land on the head of the city impartially, without crossing the city wall or landing early due to lack of strength.

The trebuchets under the city are still indirectly firing stone projectiles, and the defenders at the head of the city still have to risk being injured or unfortunately killed, and they are forced to withstand the rain of stones falling from the sky. When a succession of feather arrows shot from the top of the siege tower and descended from the sky to the top of their heads and around them, the defenders could no longer maintain their composure, and even the shield in their hands seemed to not know where to cover, it was a fatal feather arrow on the top of their heads? Or the stone bullet in front of you?

The feather arrows that set off from the siege tower cart not only rushed to the defenders at the upper end of the city gate, but also spread to the defenders on both sides with the city gate as the center. Each member of the death squad had undergone detailed training and guidance before the battle, and in the first few seconds of each arrow, they would silently calculate in their hearts how many meters the siege tower had moved forward. How many meters are left from the defenders directly ahead? If attacking the defenders on either side, how many meters away should you fire the feathered arrows on the bowstring?

"Shift the target! Shoot the enemy troops in the tower cart first! Ballista, Ballista!! General Wang, who was running around the city, immediately discovered the threat of the tower cart, waved his arms and shouted command.

Suddenly, dozens of ballistae at the head of the city received the order, and they aimed their spearheads at the two siege tower carts that were still moving forward slowly, and after a few seconds, the crossbow arrows with the thickness of their arms roared away with the sound of "whirring" breaking through the air, and the afterimages dragged behind them seemed to show their indomitable power and extreme speed.

"Bang bang bang..." Dozens of crossbow arrows hit the shield wall one after another, and the huge impact force suddenly knocked the death squad soldiers with the giant shield into the air, until even the people with the shield were thrown into the air, after the power to move forward was lost, the body of the death squad soldiers floating in the air also began to fall rapidly along the irregular parabolic trajectory, and in the sunset near dusk, seven or eight bodies fell from a height of more than ten or twenty meters, which was tragic, but at the same time it was extremely spectacular.

Most of the soldiers with huge shields on the top of the siege tower were not directly killed by the crossbow arrows that shot through the shield, but fell from a high altitude and fell heavily to the ground, falling apart, and they didn't even have time to shout out a cry of pain before they died, and they died extremely happily.

"!" After seeing this scene, Lin Feng in the rear couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and his clenched fist slammed into the void on the side, and the maple scale armor on his body made a crackling sound. Even though he had already imagined that this situation would occur, Lin Feng still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, his eyes widened, and he stared viciously at the north city wall of Chengdu Mansion in front of him, and his mouth and nose continued to spew out a scorching breath, as if he wanted to directly burn the north city wall into ashes.

Fortunately, the sudden change of target of the ballista made it easier for the cloud echelon that had been tightly suppressed, and with the sound of the horn, the speed of the cloud echelon began to speed up, from the speed of three hundred meters to the distance of one hundred meters from the city wall, it only took less than a minute.

"Archer, shoot me hard!!" Chen Jingxuan, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help it, he actually snatched a strong bow from the hand of the guard next to him, took the bow and arrows, stood at the battlement of the city wall, and shot towards a soldier of the Feng family army who was struggling forward with a shield and ladder.

Especially when the cloud echelon marched to 100 meters, the trebuchet ammunition in the Feng family's army camp was finally exhausted, and then the defenders at the head of the city suddenly felt less pressure, and they could devote themselves to the counterattack against the siege troops.

For the counterattack of the ballista at the head of the city, the feather arrows replaced at this time are somewhat insignificant, although the number is huge, but it is not like the ballista to hit with a single hit, the one who hits will die, and the death is extremely miserable. The counterattack of the feather arrow, at least will not make the person who is hit by the arrow die instantly, and most of them will be unloaded by the shield or armor, even if they can hit the body, as long as it is not a vital point such as the neck and heart, it will not be killed directly under normal circumstances.

This also relieved a lot of pressure on the soldiers of the cloud echelon, and the speed of the march began to increase with the sound of the horn in the rear, and it only took more than ten seconds to reach the city close to the ruler. Although the counterattack on the city became more and more intense, the cloud echelon turned a blind eye, and seemed to not care whether those feather arrows would fall on them, and only struggled to erect the cloud ladder, stuck firmly at the head of the city, and then began to prepare for the official snatching of the city.

At the same time, the siege cone between the two siege tower vehicles also stood out, crossed the siege tower car that had been guarding in front of him, and quickly rushed towards the north gate of Chengdu Mansion. The soldiers who followed the cone cart also seemed to have no regard for their own life or death, just holding the shield on their heads, and pushing the cone cart vigorously, hard, hard...

Now that the progress has arrived, the siege tower car naturally has to speed up the speed of travel, and put itself into the siege as soon as possible, as much as possible to use its own iron walls to buy time for their brothers, or as much as possible to replace them to be injured...

"Woo... Woo woo woo ... ”

The horn of the attack has never stopped, and in the near dusk, the sunset in the distance is also very weak, and it seems that there is nothing to be done about the battle in front of him, so he can only try to avoid his eyes, not to see this battle between human beings.

However, the sound of the trumpet continued to spread, not only throughout the battlefield, but also under the ground and above the sky.

"Woo... Woo woo woo ... ”
