Chapter 34: The War Reaper
"Reload!!"
Wang Mao, who got the order, shouted at dozens of government soldiers, and the five government soldiers who were responsible for turning the gear turntable shouted slogans to turn the turntable, and as the turntable rotated little by little, the three logs of the stone thrower were bent as the launch lever was bent.
After the launch lever was bent to the end, dozens of government soldiers shouted neat slogans, and pry two large stones weighing hundreds of pounds to the launch pad, as long as a tea time to prepare for work, the stone thrower was finally loaded with stone bullets, and two government soldiers with wooden mallets were ready to wait for the order to launch at any time.
Wang Mao got the order of the herald of the city tower, and gave the order with a loud shout: "Release!" ”
Two government soldiers with wooden mallets knocked hard, and the wooden bolt stuck with the gear was directly knocked away, and two boulders weighing hundreds of catties were thrown into the air and flew in the direction of the city under the physical action of the stone thrower.
The whistling boulders flew along the city, and the soldiers on the city swallowed their saliva hard, and looked at the two meteor-like boulders with incredible eyes, smashing into the Turkic army at a thunderous speed, and the charging Turkic army did not know that death was coming.
"What's that?"
"Oh my God, the stone, it's the big rock!"
"Run......"
Rumble... Rumble......
After the two deafening boulder bombardments, hundreds of Turks were smashed into flesh or blown out, and even Dingxiang City could clearly feel the earthquake-like shaking, while the Turkic army was killed and injured by the boulders.
The nightmare has only just begun, the remaining boulders crushed the Turkic army with the power of thunder, and the Turks who were not in a hurry were either crushed to death on the spot, or were crushed or flattened hands and feet, and the two boulders pressed out two long blood marks, and the Turkic army was divided into two groups under the boulder traces.
After being surprised, Cheng Biting Jin clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, good, haha...... This thing is very good, this thing is very good! Wow quack...... Go on, go on. ”
The stone thrower, a sharp weapon defending the city, played an amazing record, and Cheng Biting Jin, who was in a good mood, clapped his hands, and at first he was still skeptical, and disappeared without a trace at this moment, and continued to fire stone ballads to solve these Turkic armies without blood.
Li Tai looked at the Turkic army in amazement, and the two ordinary boulders, with the blessing of the stone thrower, became like a war harvester, and everything became vulnerable in front of it.
A tea time passed, and before the stone thrower was launched, the Turkic army regrouped, and Cheng Yanjin asked a little unpleasantly: "Well, Yin staff, why don't you continue?" ”
Yin Li said unhurriedly: "General Cheng, although the power of the stone thrower is huge, the reloading speed is very slow......"
Li Tai, who was dissatisfied and jealous, did not forget to speak coldly and sarcastically: "What's the use of that? ”
"Tsk... It's better than some people standing and talking without backache. Cheng Chumo said coldly and angrily replied to Li Tai, choking Li Tai's face was extremely embarrassed and powerless to refute.
Seeing that the Turkic army had entered the range of the archers, Cheng Yanjin raised his hand and shouted: "Prepare the archers!" ”
The archers defending the city brushed and drew their bows and arrows, and there were stone throwers such a war machine, and the morale of the defenders of the city was greatly increased with Cheng Biting Jin's order, and thousands of arrows rained down to block the advance of the Turkic army.
On the side of the Turkic army, Jieli Khan, the king of the steppe, ignored the rain of arrows defending the city, and under the shocking bombardment of the two boulders just now, instead of retreating and reorganizing the army to continue to storm Dingxiang City, he was determined to set foot on the fortress city of the Central Plains in front of him.
Jieli Khan raised his saber in his hand and shouted: "Warriors of the steppe, the first to capture the city, a bounty of one hundred taels!" ”
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the heart of the heavy reward promised by the Jieli Khan, the Turks became wolf-like one by one, and after coming out of the shadow of the boulder bullet, they braved the rain of arrows and shouted and charged towards the nearby Dingxiang City.
After the two rounds of arrow rain passed, the reloaded stone thrower, after hundreds of government soldiers corrected the direction of the movement, once again threw shocking stone bullets, in the cheers of the soldiers defending the city, the stone bullets appeared again above the heads of the Turkic army.
"The Celestial Stone is here!!"
"Run......"
"No ...... removed"
The whistling stone bullet reappeared, and the stone bullet revered by the Turks as a heavenly stone, but it was frightened and fled, no matter how the Turkic generals stopped it, there was no way to suppress the frightened Turkic soldiers.
Rumble... Rumble......
After two deafening loud bangs, hundreds of Turkic soldiers smashed into flesh, and the siege equipment was vulnerable in the face of boulder bullets.
A large number of Turkic soldiers were frightened by the boulder bullets and fled, no matter how the Turkic generals shouted, there was no way to create chaos in the army's heart, the Turkic generals got the permission of Jieli Khan, pulled out their knives and killed the deserters who disturbed the army's heart, and under the bloody cannibalistic suppression, the fleeing Turkic soldiers were finally shocked again.
Cheng Biting Jin, who was sure of the victory, laughed heartily and said, "Haha... Okay, good, the Turkic army is in turmoil, it is a good time for our army to attack, be silent, quickly gather 20,000 iron cavalry, and after the third round of stone bombing, open the city and fight the enemy to the end! ”
"Yes!"
Cheng Chumo responded with a happy fist, and slapped Yin Li's shoulder before leaving, grinning in pain, Li Tai clenched his fists with a gloomy face, and slowly released his fist when he thought of something, brewing something with a slight sneer.
The belligerent Cheng Biting Jin made a decision, Yin Li didn't understand the military and didn't speak, the stone thrower played its due role, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least Cheng Biting Jin wouldn't be crazy about hacking him for 10 yuan, it's worth the money, isn't it?
The catapult is very powerful, the deterrent effect is also very terrifying, after the Turkic army of 90,000 was bombarded by two rounds of boulder shells, although the thousands of casualties could not hurt the Turkic muscles and bones, but the psychological and morale blow was very fatal.
An army without morale, no matter how many people there are, it is useless, morale determines the success or failure of an army, and the army that has lost its morale is vulnerable, and it is not his style to fight the belligerent Cheng Biting Jinwo who has not faced the battle.
The Turkic ranger archers who played the vanguard, charged to the 30-meter range of the city, and pulled the bow to the sides in a fan-shaped roundabout way to counterattack, giving full play to the speed advantage of the rangers to attract the firepower of the archers of the city tower, and the siege Turkic soldiers pushed the siege equipment to continue to advance.
Saxon ......
After the third round of boulder shells was fired, Cheng bit the golden hair and ordered: "Open the city gate to fight!" ”
The boulder bombarded the Turkic army again, and the Turkic army, which was completely scattered, was scattered into a mess, and Cheng Yanjin, who saw the opportunity, ordered to go out of the city to face the battle, and the city gate opened in an instant, and the Tang Dynasty iron cavalry rushed out of the city gate like a torrent.
Cheng bit Jin and picked up the Xuanhua axe, laughed and jumped down from the city tower, stunned by the incredulous Yin: "I'll go!" So fierce?! ”
Yin Li raised his head and looked down, served, only to see that he Xuanhua axe clicked on the city wall, and when he fell halfway to the city tower, he split Huashan and split a Turkic ranger alive, grabbed his war horse and swung his axe to kill several Turkic rangers.
