Li Buqi personally put on armor and led the warriors carrying things to the mountain beam, estimated the distance of sixty paces, and ordered the wooden planks to be placed to prevent arrows. At this distance, as long as it is not a strong crossbow of the god arm bow level, it is basically impossible to break through the two layers of heavy armor on everyone's body.

Behind the planks, the soldiers leveled the logs with wooden blocks, nailed the logs into the stones with iron drills, and then built the components composed of logs, iron tools, and silk linen in an orderly manner according to the procedures of the past few days' drills. It took more than an hour to work in sixty or seventy pounds of iron armor, and it took more than an hour for the two torsion trebuchets to be assembled. Then a group of soldiers were replaced to operate the trebuchet for test firing, and after confirming that the trebuchet could be used, Li Buqi waved the red flag in his hand.

Immediately, the warriors on the other side of the mountain beam scooped hot oil from the boiling oil pot and poured it into a small, round clay pot with a magnetic funnel. The surface of this clay pot is fired with many protruding rings, and many hemp ropes are threaded in these rings. When the oil fills the pot, the warrior plugs it with wood and earth, ties it tightly with a twine rope that runs through the ring, and then runs to the trebuchet with the twine as a handle, and places the pot in the iron spoon of the trebuchet.

At this point, one warrior would use a torch to ignite the oil-soaked hemp rope, and the other warrior would immediately release the trebuchet's mechanism, and the clay pot burning on the surface would be thrown against the stone wall in front of the mountain beam.

Yuzhou Jun kiln is worthy of its name, the things made are very thin, such a clay pot will shatter no matter what is smashed, and the hot sesame oil or vegetable oil and soybean oil will be splashed out immediately. The hot oil is ignited immediately when it encounters the flame burning on the hemp rope, and at the same time, it continues to spray forward under the action of inertia, igniting everything it encounters.

When the trebuchet first tried to shoot a stone the size of a bowl into the cottage and smashed the roof of a house, he exclaimed: "What a stone cannon? ”

But at that time, Hao Daworm only thought that he would be facing a constantly flying stone, and ordered his subordinates to hide it and not let the stones hit. But the second time, I saw two fireballs flying over and smashing into the cottage, which immediately set a large area on fire, and two unlucky eggs were splashed on their bodies by the burning oil and squeaked and screamed.

Hao Daworm thought that he understood Li Buqi's intention, which was to set fire to the cottage. But he really didn't have a good way to deal with it.

Sixty paces was an awkward distance for the bow and crossbow in his hand, and he was not sure to penetrate the iron armor, and the officers and soldiers also erected planks to protect the trebuchet.

Rush out and destroy the trebuchet? However, there was a group of officers and soldiers wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades waiting for them, and the mountain beams were so narrow that they could only fight the officers and soldiers when they rushed out. There are not a few pairs of armor in the cottage, and the front of the official army steel armed to the teeth? What do you think?

Hao Daworm had no choice but to let Jiang Ying go to the village to lead people to extinguish the fire, and on the other hand, let the minions shoot with bows and arrows in the hope of disrupting the official army. However, as soon as the archers showed their heads, they would be immediately shot by the crossbow arrows of the officers and soldiers, and they would be suppressed so that they could not raise their heads, so the effect of the disturbance was also limited.

Just as he was in a hurry and couldn't think of a way to do it, he was surprised to find that the arson bombs were getting closer and closer to the stone wall, and finally locked onto the stone wall. With a few arsonistic bombs smashed into the stone wall, the stone wall that could accommodate three people in parallel had already ignited a fire, and the thick wooden planks that were supposed to be used to block arrows and the firewood used to boil water were ignited, and even if the minions threw the planks under the wall in time, the fire and black smoke made it difficult to stay on the wall anymore.

The leaders of the rebel army who watched the battle on the distant hill were also frightened, especially the two former soldiers who smacked their tongues: "This is a stone cannon." But the stone cannons are very large, could it be that Li Buqi cut down trees to build them? ”

"How can the stone cannon be so accurate? You see, all the stone bullets that can set fire have smashed into the wall. It's hard to stand up to people up there. ”

One of the advantages of torsion trebuchets is that they shoot fairly accurately. After each trebuchet threw a dozen clay pots, he was able to accurately throw the clay pots onto the stone wall, and a dozen more clay pots were smashed over, and the stone wall was already on fire.

But at this time, a trebuchet also had a problem, and cracks appeared in the wooden beams. How strong do you expect from makeshift shoddy things?

But Li didn't give up and came prepared, how could he not have a backhand? The red flag waved up and down, and another soldier rushed up the mountain beam with wooden components, and assembled two more trebuchets only thirty paces from the wall. Three trebuchets threw clay pots filled with oil behind the stone wall, creating a fire barrier behind the stone wall.

After about half an hour, the fire on the stone wall subsided, and a group of soldiers in light armor, wet and wet, carried ladders and wooden barrels full of earth to rush up the stone beams, passing through the passage that the heavy armor soldiers had abandoned. They crushed the flames at the foot of the stone wall with earth, put ladders on the wall, and some of the soldiers climbed up the ladder with their faces covered in water-soaked linen, picked up the burning wood with their short guns, and poured some dirt on the wall to clear a foothold and climb the stone wall.

Then, as the oil burned out, the mountain wind blew away the smoke, and the shield-bearers, the heavily armored warriors gradually climbed the stone wall, and Li Buqi ordered to stop the trebuchet's firing. At this time, only one trebuchet remained. However, the stone wall has fallen into the hands of the Zhenwu army, and there is no terrain advantage to rely on in the Tianzhai Village.

Hao Daworm also knew this, he commanded the minions to desperately demolish the several burning houses near the wall, and immediately drove the minions to charge towards the wall where the fire had been extinguished - the wooden door on the wall was still burning and had not been opened, once the officers and soldiers swarmed in, then there was nothing to stop the officers and soldiers armed to the teeth from entering.

The first time he saw the military formation that was silently stepping on the drum and advancing towards the cottage like a door panel, he obviously felt that this official army was really different from those officers and troops who could only bluff in the past. If he hadn't had faith in the three-meter-high stone wall at that time, he would have wanted to grease the soles of his feet. So the stone wall, which is the source of confidence for the entire cottage, must be recaptured!

But the Zhenwu Army didn't give Hao Daworm a chance at all. The stone wall was twenty meters long and less than three meters wide, so narrow that the minions had just shouted and rushed up when they were shot by crossbow arrows, and the steel arrows easily penetrated the leather armor and clothing into the human body, causing a large amount of bleeding, and at a distance of one or twenty paces, someone was actually shot through. At this time, many minions have subconsciously slowed down.

Hao Daworm had to shout to boost morale: "Hurry up and kill it!" Crossbow bolts are slow to wind! Don't let them wind up again! ”

Dozens of strong backbones of Hao Da Worm's men rushed up the stone wall with Pu knives and spears to meet the continuous feather arrows, but a few heavily armored warriors blocked their way like the city wall. Heavy tomahawks slashed at them, and long knives stabbed under their shields, forcing them to stop and fight. At this time, several spears suddenly stretched out from the shoulders of the officers and soldiers armed with battle axes and long knives, and stabbed them like poisonous dragons, and those who could not dodge were immediately pierced. Someone hurriedly waved a Pu knife to separate the spear, but the battle axe and the long knife were in front of him again.

It's not equal, the heaviest Pu knife can only take away a few armor leaves when it is split on the iron armor, but if it is touched by a battle axe, a long knife and a spear, it will either kill or be injured. After only a few rounds, the minions who rushed forward were forced to retreat again and again. And Hao Daworm didn't have the time to command, because the shouting just now made several crossbowmen target him, and they kept shooting, and a crossbow arrow shot through the inferior shield he had snatched from the minions, and cut a bloody hole in his waist, frightening him to hide behind a charred tree.

Seeing the minions rushing up and retreating in a chaotic manner, and more and more officers and soldiers kept emerging from the stone wall, Hao Daworm knew that the general trend had gone, but he still desperately shouted "If you don't kill the officers and soldiers, you will die", gathered the minions and let a few small leaders lead the house to prepare to resist.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers on the stone wall did not pursue, and most of them were vomiting. The tomahawk kills people so ugly that these first-time warriors can't help but vomit all their breakfast.

In the eyes of the leaders of the rebel army in the distance, after the fire in the Drill Heaven Village was a little smaller, the officers and soldiers extinguished the fire of the pot, lined up, used it along the mountain beam to the stone wall, and then poured into the Drill Heaven Village in the twilight.

"That's the end of Drill Tianzhai?" Stone Leader said incredulously: "It's only been one day." ”
