The best way to prevent trebuchets is to destroy them.

This would have been very difficult to do in the past.

The maximum range of trebuchets is mostly about 300 paces (except for Pangtong brand trebuchets), which is incomparable to crossbowmen, so it is obviously unrealistic to rely on crossbowmen to deal with enemy trebuchets.

And the bed crossbow is barely within reach.

The problem is that even if the ballista hits the trebuchet, it doesn't seem to be able to destroy it, but at most it will damage one part of the trebuchet. Then, as long as the enemy replaces the damaged part, won't the trebuchet still be able to wield?

Trebuchet shooting, that's even more.

Since the invention of the trebuchet, its accuracy has been nothing short of foolish.

The use of trebuchets in the Great War is entirely because when the enemy army gathers together, any stone projectile can be dropped and several people can be killed and injured. However, if you want to rely on trebuchets to accurately hit a target, even if Lu Ban is resurrected, you can only cry out in vain!

Therefore, in previous wars, if you want to destroy the enemy's trebuchet, the defenders can only send a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to burn the enemy's trebuchet. It's all about human life.

But now, for Yu Jiamengguan, it is not difficult to destroy the trebuchet of the Shu army.

Pang Tong has been in retreat in Hanzhong City for nearly a year, and there are not too many defective trebuchets of various defective products that he has studied. These defective products were failures for Pang Tong, but they were very advanced compared to the trebuchets of other princes.

If so, these defective products are recycled.

Jiameng Pass and Dingjun Mountain, this is a must-defend place in Hanzhong, and there are still some such remnants but advanced trebuchets.

Now, on the wall of Jiameng Pass, there are five Pangtong brand trebuchets.

Pang Tong's improved trebuchet, whether it is range or accuracy, this is nothing to say. If Wei Yan wanted to destroy the trebuchet of the Shu army, he only needed an order, or a few breaths, and the more than ten trebuchets of the Shu army would become scrap!

……

"It's just two stone bullets, it's okay!" Wei Yan didn't care.

"When the crossbowmen of the Shu army come over, our trebuchet will be powerful again, just take the opportunity to solve the trebuchet of the Shu army!"

Wei Yan didn't want to be exposed, there were also trebuchets on the wall, and his trebuchets were even more awesome than Shu Jun.

According to the law of the ant-attached siege, when the enemy's trebuchet wields, its archers, escorted by shield soldiers, will also drive into the firing range, and then use their power to suppress the defenders on the city wall (closed wall) with a rain of arrows. Then the infantry army climbed the ladder to attack the city.

Now the range of the enemy's trebuchets is insufficient, and its threat is negligible.

As for the infantry army climbing the ladder to attack the city, there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing more than the bloody fight of the soldiers.

Wei Yan was more worried about the enemy archers.

A qualified archer, in the case of projectiles, shoots arrows with a maximum range of almost two hundred paces.

Because of the upward shooting, the Shu army needed to approach Jiameng Pass about 150 steps in order to kill and injure the officers and soldiers of the Hanzhong Army on the wall.

Of course, when the archers of the Shu army reached nearly one hundred and fifty paces, they also entered the range of the crossbowmen on the wall.

It's just that the Shu army has a large number of people, and the consumption of archers is bound to be defeated by the Hanzhong army. Moreover, the archers of the Shu army are all guarded by shield soldiers, and the arrows shot at the wall are also negligible in the threat to the archers of the Shu army.

The tower shield can protect most of an archer's body, but the archers of the Hanzhong army are not the same as the archers!

In this way, when the enemy archers pressed up, it was the moment when Jia Mengguan was under the greatest pressure.

Therefore, Wei Yan left these trebuchets in order to take them by surprise and destroy the archers of the Shu army.

……

Jia Meng passed, in front of the Shu army.

The trebuchet could not make a contribution, and the captain in charge of the trebuchet was discouraged and reported to Zhang Ren.

"It's okay!" Zhang Ren waved his hand, and then motioned for the captain to go down and continue to command the trebuchet.

At this time, Zhang Ren did not ride a war horse, but sat in a makeshift shed.

It is impossible to tackle the key problems overnight, it is possible that you will not be able to capture Jiameng Pass all day today, at this time you will ride a war horse, and wait for the door to open and then kill into the pass, he Zhang Ren's ass does not hurt, and the war horse can't hold on!

"Yang Huai, order the archers to press up!"

"Gao Pei, when the archers suppress the Hanzhong army on the pass, immediately set up a cloud ladder!"

Zhang Ren sat in the shed and gave instructions in an orderly manner.

Yesterday, Yang Huai led 50,000 reinforcements to help, of which 2,000 archers were Yang Huai's headquarters.

With 2,000 archers, it is enough to suppress the Hanzhong army on the wall, so that when the cloud ladder attacks the city, the loss of the soldiers of the Shu army can be minimized. Moreover, the hand-to-hand combat during the siege of the ladder can quickly wear down the defenders on the wall.

After all, the defenders on the wall are only five thousand!

Yang Huai took the order, took two thousand archers, and slowly pressed towards Jia Mengguan.

Two thousand archers, plus the shieldmen who guarded them, that's more than four thousand.

Three hundred steps, there was no reaction on the wall of Jiameng Pass.

Crossing the trebuchet position of this side, two hundred steps, this is the defenders of Jiameng Pass began to counterattack, a sporadic rain of arrows hit, but they were all blocked by the tower shield in the hands of the shield soldiers, and did not cause any losses to their team of archers.

Continue to move forward until a hundred steps to the left and right, Yang Huai gave the order to stop.

The shield bearer quickly set up the tower shield, and the tower shield tilted, guarding the shield soldier and the archers around him under the tower shield.

In this process, the defenders of Jiameng Pass have never given up the rain of arrows. However, with the protection of the tower shield, the rain of arrows pouring down from the wall did not threaten the combination of archers + shield soldiers.

"Archer prepare, three points up, throw!" Seeing that the archers were in place, Yang Huai also gave an order in time.

There are not many defenders in Jiameng Pass, and their two thousand archers, only three or five waves of arrow rain are enough to suppress the Hanzhong army.

Next is Gao Pei's Cloud Ladder Siege.

Of course, in the process of the Cloud Ladder siege, his Yang Huai's archers still need to continue to provide suppression.

……

Jia Meng Guan, close the wall.

Watching the Shu army's archer phalanx slowly approaching, Wei Yan was almost ecstatic in his heart.

For him, the only thing that can pose a threat to their defenders at Jiameng Pass is this archer army of the Shu army.

Without this archer army in the Shu army, he Wei Yan was sure to hold Jia Meng Pass. Not to mention that it will be kept until the day after tomorrow, it will not be a problem to stick to it for another ten days or eight days.

"Trebuchet ready, oil on!" Wei Yan ordered to the guards in a low voice.

Five trebuchets were not enough to destroy thousands of enemy archers in an instant.

There is only fire oil, and the five major jars of fire oil are smashed down, which is enough to turn a hundred steps into a sea of fire! Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
