Chapter 435: Dianchi is in danger

Outside Dianchi City, fifty war elephants marched towards Dianchi City with rumbling steps.

On the back of the war elephant is a rather large, carriage-like wooden frame, and in front of the wooden frame of this carriage sits the driver of the war elephant, and in the carriage, there are five archers.

A war elephant that can carry six brutes.

Among them, those five archers, when needed, can pick up their knives at any time to play melee combat.

Because, the barbarians live in the jungle of 100,000, archery is a necessary skill, and melee combat is also a survival skill that must be mastered.

Behind these fifty war elephants were the tidal wave of barbarian infantry.

Well, to be precise, the barbarians, except for the beast cavalry, seem to be infantry.

These barbarian infantrymen only have half of their bodies in leather armor, and they don't know what kind of beast they are tanned for, and they look quite rough. They held a leather shield in their left hand, a scimitar in their right hand, and followed closely behind the war elephant with a cat waist.

Later, as soon as the elephant approached the wall, the warriors on the back of the elephant would jump onto the wall.

Then, with the help of war elephants, the brutes who followed them, they also jumped up the city walls.

This is the most commonly used and most effective tactic when their barbarians attack the Han city!

At this time, arrows were also being thrown on the city walls, and trebuchets were also throwing stone projectiles.

The rain of arrows had no effect on the war elephants.

After the arrow hits the war elephant, it will cut a shallow wound at most, and even these wounds will not bleed out. More of the arrows that hit the battle fell to the ground, like a stone hitting a wall and then falling to the ground.

War elephants are mostly thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and the barbarians also use captured shields to protect the key parts of the war elephants, such as the key parts of the head and eyes. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to rely on the archers to inflict heavy damage on war elephants.

Similarly, the brute soldiers on the back of the war elephant in the rain of arrows did not have much lethality.

On the back of a war elephant is a carriage-like structure.

Since it is a similar carriage, it naturally has a roof.

The roof made of ironwood in the jungle of 100,000 can't shoot through this kind of plank after three inches, even if it's a three-stone strong bow!

However, these rain of arrows caused a lot of damage to the barbarian infantry who were closely behind the war elephants.

The leather armor of the barbarians, under the arrows of the Han army, is worse than paper paste!

After each rain of arrows, there were bands of brutes falling, and only those who were more clever, with the help of war elephants, or with the help of the corpses of their comrades, were able to survive the rain of arrows.

……

“biu,biu!”

A few times, the sound of sharp arrows tearing through the air, suddenly came, and then, there was the mournful chirping of war elephants.

A war elephant, with three crossbow guns stuck in its body, screamed, staggered a few steps, and then crashed to the ground. The brute soldiers on his back were naturally thrown to the ground, and some of them were injured. The barbarian infantry that followed closely nearby could be regarded as having fallen to blood mold, and several barbarians were crushed under the fallen war elephants, and then they couldn't survive when they saw it.

The ballista spear, perhaps not hitting the heart of the war elephant, although the war elephant fell to the ground, but for a while it was not completely dead, still dying on the ground, and as it struggled, the blood flowed all over the ground, and soon gathered into a small puddle of blood on the ground.

“biu,biu!” The sound kept ringing, this was the bed crossbow of the Han army roaring!

This was followed by a war elephant shot in the head.

The "hissing" sound of the war elephant's screams before dying came and went.

At the rear of the battlefield, watching the war elephants die tragically and fall to the ground, Meng Shu's heart was dripping blood.

War elephants, unlike the war horses of the Han people in the Central Plains.

The Han people seem to have as many war horses as they want, but it is not easy for them barbarians to obtain war elephants.

There are many wild elephants in the 100,000 jungles, but it is simply impossible to train wild elephants into war elephants. They can only train a qualified war elephant by capturing wild baby elephants and then training on baby elephants.

On the periphery of the 100,000 jungle, millions of barbarians have accumulated over generations, and they are only 100 war elephants!

Today's attack on Dianchi City, this is not close to the city wall, and the battle damage is no less than ten war elephants, not to mention that Meng Shu's heart is dripping blood, and the great wizard's heart is also dripping blood. War elephants, but the ultimate strength of their southern barbarians!

Fortunately, the Han army's bed crossbow is a little pitiful, and the five bed crossbows are aimed at a war elephant, and many times they will shoot empty.

On the city wall, although the arrows rained down and the bed crossbow never stopped roaring, it still could not stop the brute soldiers from approaching the city wall.

There are so many brute soldiers around that they can't be killed!

The archer's arms hurt a little because he had fired the bow too many times.

Bed crossbows and trebuchets have also been scrapped due to overwork, and they are still being replaced.

At this time, the war elephants of the barbarians finally arrived under the city walls.

On this approach to the city wall, at least ten or twenty war elephants were shot by the bed crossbows on the city wall. However, when the bed crossbows on the city walls were scrapped and replaced, there was no longer a way to stop the war elephants from approaching the city walls.

Also arriving under the walls were countless barbarian infantry.

At the rear of the battlefield, the heartbroken Meng Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Since the war elephants have arrived under the city, there is no accident that Dianchi City has been captured.

……

"Rolling log, smash it down for me!"

"Where's the oil, hurry up and pour the oil!"

"Archers, shoot those brutes for me!"

Liu Bi hurriedly commanded.

The height of the war elephant is mostly between one zhang and five to two lengths, plus the wooden structure on its back, and the height of the brute soldiers standing up, it is not much on par with the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall can even face the eyes of the brute soldiers on the back of the war elephant!

Looking at the brute soldiers at hand, Liu Bi was a little panicked.

He knew that the brutes on the back of the war elephant must not be allowed to jump on the city wall, otherwise, Dianchi City would inevitably fall!

At this time, the defenders came out with all kinds of means, rolling wood and stones, fire oil and gold juice, and constantly looked at the city and poured down.

For a time, the barbarians at the foot of the city wall suffered heavy casualties.

Suddenly, there was a burst of screams, screams, and the sound of fighting and killing, which sounded close at hand.

But there was a brute soldier, who finally jumped to the head of the city under the rain of arrows and all kinds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

Although the brute was quickly hanged, several more brutes jumped onto the city.

"Beat these brutes!"

Liu Bi roared angrily, and asked the personal soldiers around him to personally besiege and kill these barbarians.

It's just that the battle is not subject to Liu Bi's will.

Soon, several places on the city wall were breached, and more and more brute soldiers jumped on the wall.

Siege warfare is like this, as long as an enemy army climbs the top of the city, if it cannot be defeated or killed in time, then the city will continue to be broken through by the enemy, and eventually the city will not be able to hold.
