Chapter 232: The Battle of Martial Arts 16

"Catapults, prepare to ......" Gao Shun issued an order, and four of the original 110 ladders were destroyed in the last battle, and the remaining 106 trebuchets were operated by soldiers to aim at the enemy troops across the wall.

"Release the ......" With Gao Shun's order, the sound of military drums sounded in the Yizhou army, and the soldiers got the order and immediately pulled the bolt.

More than 100 boulders made an arc and flew towards the enemy troops on the other side of the wall.

"Ah......" There were screams in the enemy army, but most of the people who made the sound were not soldiers who were hit by trebuchets, because there were few survivors who were hit by trebuchets, and most of these screams were watching their comrades turn into a puddle of flesh, and when the blood splashed red their bodies, the fear from their hearts made them cry out.

When the Yizhou army trebuchet was loaded again, the Xiliang army rushed to the side of the trench that made them sad, frightened, and even desperate, and the nose seemed to smell the scorching smell of the robe brothers when they were burned, and the painful memory of the last time was especially in front of them, they did not act rashly, they slowed down, and the torches that had been prepared long ago were thrown into the trench, and after a long time, the flames did not rise, and the Yizhou army on the opposite side obviously could not repeat the old tricks, and the Xiliang army suddenly let out a cheer, and then launched a fierce attack.

The sound of the hollow trebuchet firing was heard, and Gao Shun shouted to warn the soldiers to dodge, but the speeding trebuchet still destroyed several fences, causing casualties among nearly 100 soldiers.

Some soldiers of the Xiliang Army put the ladder on the trench, howling and rushing to the opposite side on the ladder, and some threw the sack in their hands into the trench, preparing to build a bridge......

The well was also pushed to the edge of the trench, and the archers above immediately took advantage of the high position of one zhang high to throw a rain of arrows at the Yizhou army on the earthen wall, don't look at the well is only one zhang higher than the earthen wall, but it is to let the Xiliang army occupy the geographical advantage, and the Yizhou army is facing a double blow from the well and the ground, and the pressure increases sharply, and there are nearly 500 casualties in a short time.

On the ground, seeing that the defenders were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, the morale of the Xiliang army was greatly boosted, and they couldn't help but let out an excited shout, and their hands and feet were even more sharp. Fortunately, the Yizhou army was not completely suppressed, and the high arrow tower on the earthen wall was barely able to crush the enemy's well, otherwise this battle would be really dangerous.

"Don't panic, don't panic...... Command the arrow tower to attack the enemy's well with all his might, and the trebuchet operator will climb the wall to check the position of the enemy's well, adjust the trebuchet, and break the enemy's well first...... Regardless of bow or crossbow, all use rockets to burn the enemy's wells...... The crossbowmen suppressed the enemy's ground forces and delayed their offensive ......"

The Chinese army immediately sounded the sound of drums, and the defenders, as if they had found the backbone, immediately acted according to the order of the drums.

Waves of arrows flew to the Xiliang Army's well with wisps of green smoke, and instantly shot the enemy's well into a thorn, and the spark began to rage on the well, but like the Yizhou Army fence, the Xiliang Army's well is also made of wet wood processing, although the fire is everywhere, but it is not easy to form a prairie fire, and the grease on the arrow will naturally be extinguished after it burns out!

The rocket that fell into the crowd caused a lot of commotion in the Xiliang Army, and the smell of burnt hair and skin came from the screams......

The battle-hardened Xiliang army quickly came back to its senses, and waves of arrows and countless boulders flew towards the earthen wall.

I only heard "boom...... Boom ......" two times, the two arrow towers on the earthen wall were each hit by a boulder, the thigh-thick wet wood was very tough, and it held on under the huge inertial impact without breaking, but this was not a good thing for the defenders, when this huge force was transmitted to the entire building, the two arrow towers "uproar...... Lala......" collapsed with a bang, and except for four soldiers who were lucky enough to fall on the earthen wall and were only slightly injured when they landed on the earthen wall, everyone else fell with the wood and fell to the outside of the earthen wall, and they were killed by the enemy's random arrows before they could wake up.

More than 1,000 Xiliang troops crossed the trench, their footsteps were blocked again by the rebuilt deer, before continuing to move forward, they had to stop, tear down these obstacles, only to hear the sound of "bangbang", but it was the Xiliang army began to destroy the deer.

"Crossbowmen, suppress the enemy army, and don't let the enemy army get close to the city wall easily......" Gao Shun commanded loudly.

There are actually not many crossbows on the city wall, only more than a thousand, but the firepower should not be underestimated, and in the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 crossbows and arrows shot angrily at the Xiliang army.

Although the Xiliang army on the front line had thick armor, it still left some weaknesses for the enemy, such as face, neck, arms, calves, etc...... Although these parts are not easy to hit, but like the spring rain as dense crossbow arrows come from the sky, there is nowhere to escape, when the crossbowmen reload, this more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers are only about 800 people left, the number is not small, but it also includes about 500 wounded soldiers holding the wounds and wailing! Most of the vital parts were protected by armor, and most of the non-lethal parts were left for the enemy, so the number of killed enemies in this attack was much lower than the number of wounded enemies.

After the crossbowmen of the Yizhou Army loaded the crossbows, the Xiliang Army rushed over more than 1,000 people, and they still crashed head-on into the crossbows of the Yizhou Army, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

"What bow is that? Why is it so fast? Dong Zhuo looked at the repeater in the hand of the Yizhou army with a pale face and said.

Li Le hurriedly said: "Xiangye, that is the Yizhou Repeater, Liu Zhang relied on him to raid the Luoyu Pass...... According to the news obtained by the last general, this crossbow has ten arrows for a crossbow, but it is different from ordinary repeaters, this crossbow ten arrows are not fired at one time, and only one crossbow bolt will be shot each time the trigger is pulled, so it can form continuous firepower and is very sharp. Since the last general learned about this crossbow, he tried to get one and dedicated it to Xiang Ye, but the number of this crossbow is not very large, and it was not popularized in Liu Zhang's army, and Liu Zhang attached great importance to this crossbow, and all of them were handed over to his elite troops to use. ”

"This is the Yizhou repeater you talked about? Sure enough, there are some evil sects! Dong Zhuo said slightly, in fact, he had seen the Yizhou repeater in the last battle, but at that time, he was full of confidence, thinking that he was sure of victory, and he didn't care what weapons the Yizhou army used. But the previous fiasco had made him worry about his future, and this time he kept an eye on the Yizhou Army, and when the Yizhou repeater burst into power, he immediately felt the threat posed to him by this weapon that could almost change the tide of the battle.

"It's amazing!" Li Ru praised it, but said confidently: "However, the number of crossbows equipped by the subordinate Guanyizhou army is very small, about 1,000, which shows that this kind of repeater is complicated, difficult to make, and time-consuming. And no matter crossbows or arrows, they can't be melee, as long as our soldiers climb the city wall, no matter how sharp the crossbow is, it will lose its effectiveness! ”

"That's right, the herald - accelerate the attack......" Dong Zhuo nodded and said.

The trench dug by the Yizhou army was deep and wide, and under Dong Zhuo's strict order, it didn't take long for a bridge built by sacks to lay across both sides of the trench, and more than 500 Xiliang troops with thick shields erected thick shields to protect the housing bridge against the fierce arrow rain in Yizhou, and then, a steady stream of soldiers crossed the bridge and rushed to the earthen wall. Soon, more than 3,000 archers set up a formation near the bridge, using bows and arrows to suppress the Yizhou army on the earthen wall......

Thirty soldiers then drove a crash car across the undulating bridge, and under the cover of shieldmen and archers, they drove past a ruined deer barricade.

The crash is extremely destructive to the city gate, especially at this time the temporary gate of the Yizhou Army, which is almost the same as mud for it, as long as it is rushed in front of it, it can hit the fragile gate in an instant. But Gao Shun didn't take this crash to heart, as soon as the city gate was blocked, what could the crash do? Second, a feast has already been prepared outside the city gate for the crash, enough for it to drink a pot......
