Luo Xin's eyes looked at the arrow tower, at this time, there were already grassland archers standing on top of the arrow tower, no need to ask, these archers were all sharpshooters in the grassland. Each turret can accommodate fifty archers, and ten turrets have five hundred archers. Looking at five hundred archers, it's not much, but what if five hundred archers are all marksmen? Everyone has a three-stone bow in their hands?

This is definitely a huge threat to the Ming soldiers, and it is a threat that can affect the situation of the war! Five hundred marksmen occupy a favorable position, and they can completely suppress the Ming soldiers above the city.

There is an even greater threat!

That's ten siege engines!

Siege engines can be thrown into boulders, not catapults, and in this day and age, this is simply an indefensible threat.

"Kill ......"

More than 16,000 soldiers have come to the city wall, a cloud ladder leaning on the city wall, the grassland soldiers bite the scimitar in their mouths, hold the cloud ladder with both hands, and climb up quickly, the 10,000 cavalry outside the city are still shooting arrows at the city head, suppressing the Ming soldiers on the city wall.

"Adult ......"

"The siege engines and the arrow towers must be eliminated first!" Luo Xin waved his hand to stop Admiral Zhang's words: "Ballista soldiers and catapults don't care about the siege Tartars, and destroy the siege vehicles and arrow towers with their hearts, and this official will give you a great credit."

Archers shoot, rolling wood and stones are thrown, and shieldmen pay attention to protection! ”

Before the siege vehicles and arrow towers were in place, the attack and defense had already begun. Up and down the city, arrows came and went, and rolling wood and stones came down one after another. From time to time, there were steppe soldiers who fell from the ladder screaming, and from time to time, there were Ming soldiers on the city wall who were shot by arrows, and blood gushed out.

"My lord, the siege engine and the arrow tower are almost in place, so you better leave first. Leave the battle to the command of the last general, and the last general will ensure that the capital is held. ”

"Nope! I'm standing right here! ”

"My lord, it's in range!"

Admiral Li on the side had been watching the siege vehicles and arrow towers, and when he saw them entering the firing range, he hurriedly reminded Luo Xin. Luo Xin looked up and saw that the siege engine had begun to twist, and it would take some time to start throwing stones, but the grassland shooters above the arrow tower had already begun to bend their bows and arrows.

"Ballistamen, catapults, start attacking!" Luo Xin immediately began to drink.

Suddenly, more than a hundred crossbow arrows **** out, and at the same time, stones also rose into the air and attacked in the opposite direction.

The accuracy of the crossbow arrows is much stronger than that of the catapult, more than 70 of the more than 100 crossbow arrows hit the siege vehicle and the arrow tower, but the damage to the siege vehicle and the arrow tower is not large, but the crossbow arrow that did not hit the siege vehicle and the arrow tower nailed more than a dozen grassland soldiers near the siege vehicle and the arrow tower to the ground, and even shot three war horses pulling the siege vehicle and the arrow tower to death.

This can't help but make Luo Xinzhong disappointed, in fact, Luo Xinzhong is also very clear that the destructive power of crossbow arrows to siege vehicles and arrow towers is limited, unless crossbow arrows can be shot on the mechanism of siege vehicles, they can cause fundamental damage to siege vehicles, as for the damage to arrow towers, there is almost no damage to arrow towers. Only catapults were able to inflict fundamental damage if they were able to throw stones at the siege engines.

But......

The accuracy of the catapult is simply too poor, and after the first round of shooting, the soldier is adjusting the direction of the catapult with the first round of projection. Luo Xin decisively ordered:

"The ballistae men aimed their bolts at the Tartars on the towers, suppressed them, and left the siege engines alone. Catapults leave the arrow tower alone and attack the siege vehicles with all their might. ”

"Whoosh ......"

The grassland shooters on the opposite arrow tower began to attack, and in just an instant, dozens of Ming soldiers fell to death.

"My lord, please enter the corner tower!"

This time, Luo Xin did not insist, and entered the corner tower from the good. Looking at the battlefield through the corner tower, his brow furrowed tightly.

Originally, the 10,000 cavalry under the city kept releasing arrows to suppress the Ming soldiers at the head of the city, and then suppressed by the grassland shooters above the arrow tower, and the Ming soldiers above the city almost couldn't raise their heads, if it wasn't for the shield hand cover, the Ming soldiers had no ability to fight back at all, that is, the defense was greatly reduced, and the grassland soldiers were quickly approaching the city along the ladder.

"Buzz ......"

More than 100 crossbow trucks finally loaded their crossbow arrows and aimed at the arrow tower ****. The defense on the arrow tower was pierced by the crossbow arrows, and the steppe shooters were shot up from the arrow tower, and the crossbow arrows were inserted into the bodies of the steppe soldiers, and they flew out of the arrow tower with them, falling to the ground, and this round of shooting, there were more than 30 steppe shooters who did not shoot and killed. But under the arrow tower, there were immediately steppe shooters crawling towards the arrow tower to fill in the missing shooters.

"Projectile!"

At this moment, a shout came from under the city wall, and Luo Xin's vision saw ten siege vehicles moving.

Suddenly, countless huge stones rose into the air and smashed towards the sky above the capital.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was a huge roar, and the entire capital trembled. Countless Ming soldiers were smashed to the ground, and a soldier holding a shield was hit by a boulder, and the shield was instantly torn apart, and his body was blown away. A soldier was knocked on the head by a boulder, and in an instant he was smashed into a mass of flesh.

At this time, the hell on earth was replaced by the head of the capital. The generals were stunned, and panic spread across the walls. Luo Xin couldn't hold back any longer, he knew that there was more than this kind of panic, and the loss of the capital was at ease. He strode out of the corner tower and shouted:

"Don't panic, put down the barbed wire. Catapults, destroy the siege engines for me! ”

As soon as the barbed wire fence was lowered, steppe soldiers had already appeared above the city!

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the grassland jumped on the city with excitement, and they didn't see the barbed wire in front of them clearly, and they hit the barbed wire headlong, and before the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty attacked them, they were bounced off the city by the barbed wire.

On the other side, the ballista soldier controlled the ballista like crazy, firing at the fastest speed towards the arrow tower, suppressing the herb shooters above the arrow tower, and constantly having a grassland look shot through the body by the crossbow arrows, carried into the air, and fell to the ground screaming. After the catapult continued to correct its target, several transmission vehicles finally hit a siege vehicle at the same time, and in a continuous explosion, the siege vehicle disintegrated, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces.

However, at the same time, the two catapults in the city were also hit by the boulders thrown into the siege vehicles, and they were instantly torn apart, and several Ming soldiers were killed on the spot.
