Chapter Eighty-Nine: Three-Dimensional (II)

Qiu Haohui thought about it, but he didn't refuse." I'm going to ask General Ye Taoye, but we don't have any official positions in the army. The part of the non-commissioned officers and officers who were allocated also asked General Yu to appoint them on the battlefield. ”

Battlefield appointments are a unique rule in the military of Dongping, and on the battlefield, superior officers can appoint officers who are more than two ranks inferior to themselves as needed, and these appointments will be reviewed by higher-ranking officers after the war to determine whether to retain or retrench. Yu Kang nodded, for him, this kind of thing is not troublesome at all.

At this time, a soldier of the Blood Qi Army ran over and reported: "Qiu Tong, a batch of ballistas has been completed in the workshop, and General Ye asked me to ask you, whether to transport it to the city now or how." ”

Qiu Haohui looked at Yu Kang, and saw that Yu Kang signaled his decision, and he said: "All go to the city, first all of them are equipped due west, facing the position of the enemy's commander's tent." Let the brethren of the heavy equipment detachment quickly learn how to use it, and then teach the defenders of White Rock City. ”

The soldier asked again: "Do you want to practice firing cannons?" If you have a full match, you will smash into the army under the other city, will you fight or not? ”

"Hit!" Qiu Haohui sneered and said, "Isn't it just going to provoke the other party's siege war?" We're all here, and we've had a good rest for a while, what are we afraid of? After the ballistas were installed, all the western walls were lit with fires, and the heavy infantry rested under the walls and were allowed to fire freely. ”

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! "When the first batch of six ballistae belonged to the western city wall, and blatantly began to teach the firing, the first batch of stone bullets because everyone was not familiar with this very special thing, and the range was not adjusted and could fall on the wooden fence outside the front camp of the Xiling army, what caused Zang Keming's anger was not the provocation of the other party, but the laughter from the city." Drumming, ignition of the fire. Prepare for the night battle. Zang Keming immediately ordered.

"Fire oil bombs." Ye Tao, who was standing at the head of the city to help adjust the ballistas, saw the movement of the enemy troops under the city, and immediately ordered: "Give priority to knocking out the catapults, and then those officers who can be identified." There is no need to worry about the stockpile of fire and oil bombs, this battle must hurt the enemy. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers rushed to give the order.

Xi Ling's engineering detachment suddenly found that it was a little difficult for them to even line up as usual, not to mention the siege of the city. The Divine Arm Bow brought by the Blood Qi Army suddenly expanded the long-range strike range of White Rock City by nearly one hundred and fifty steps. As soon as the array was formed, a giant arrow loaded with fire oil bombs would be summoned to attack the ground, Zang Keming gave the order in pain. Retreat two hundred paces and assemble.

Huge bonfires were lit under the city, and the bonfires lit at the top of the city illuminated the entire city wall. To the sound of war drums, the Xiling army once again launched an assault on the city wall. But they immediately discovered that the defense of White Rock City was suddenly different. Except for the large stone bullets fired by catapults, which were just as unreliable, the long-range strikes on the city were much more accurate and farther. Just pushed the catapult to the front line, and didn't even have time for a couple of rounds of shooting. On the top of the city, fire-oil bullets from ballistas and divine arms turned catapults into huge torches. The arrogant Blood Qi Army Divine Arm Archers at the head of the city even used a weight-reduced giant arrow to ignite the gate of the Chinese army of the Xiling army.

The building cart, pushed by a large number of soldiers, is more like a moving target, and the outer layer made of tight spruce wood can indeed resist arrows, but it cannot resist the penetration of fire oil layer by layer. When the flames and smoke made the soldiers hiding in the building car scream and jump out of the building. I don't know if it was because I broke my hands and feet, or because of the flames that had not been extinguished on my body, or because of the burns and burns, and I howled and rolled on the ground, everyone had a trace of fear in their hearts. Everyone can't help but think, this spruce. It's also a good material for coffin boards.

A little closer to the wall, the Divine Arm and Ballista have higher accuracy. Perhaps the ballista was not accurate enough to kill an officer on horseback, but the use of fire oil shells could often cover the area where the officer might be in small patches. After a few rounds of shooting, the air began to fill the air with a scorching rancid smell, which stimulated the minds of Xiling soldiers, making people crazy and terrifying.

With the Divine Arm Bow and the Fire Oil Bomb. There is no need for the catapult to compete with the opponent's catapult at the farthest range, and the performance is also a character. Most of the catapults at the head of the city, especially the old-fashioned catapults that were originally equipped in White Rock City, have a relatively close range, shooting stone projectiles and projectiles of approximate size towards dense crowds. The most vicious projectiles are walls of varying quality hewn from abandoned buildings in the city. In particular, those brick walls, some of which are like automatic and spontaneous air-blown fuses, disintegrate in mid-air, and a large piece of bricks is sprinkled with hulala, which is amazingly lethal. The rammed earth walls that the big families built carefully. It presents a strange lethality. After landing, he jumped up again in a strange posture and whistled in a jaw-dropping direction, and some of them broke into pieces of different sizes. Mixed with a large amount of dust flying around. The most admirable thing is that it slaps at an angle almost parallel to the ground, like a huge palm slapping an insignificant mosquito to death, smashing people directly into a meatloaf, except for a small piece of dust, there is no other magnificent visual effect. But the lethality of this indifference is even more relatable.

When the soldiers of Xiling rushed into the closest distance of the catapult in panic and began to approach the city wall, they had to face the bloody slaughter of the archers of the Blood Qi Army. Ye Tao had never thought of creating a team of archers with a range of 400 meters similar to the English longbowmen, and in his opinion, he could have many ways to hit the enemy at that distance, without having to train a team of archers with a very low yield. But the archers of the Blood Qi Army still have their own characteristics. Borrowing from the bows used in modern athletic competitions, the weights of the longbows of the archers are very reasonable, and there are senior veterans and craftsmen in the army to carefully adjust the grip according to the different hand shapes of each soldier. The Xiling soldiers began to enter the firing range, and until they rushed to the bottom of the city, the archers unhurriedly made four volleys: projectiles...... Ejection...... Flat ...... Close-range aim shooting...... Today, the archers are even more excited to get permission to use special arrows. The special arrows of the Blood Qijun are equipped with strangely shaped arrowheads, which are made by stamping and hand-polishing, and there are two flat conical holes in the arrowheads, which will speed up the speed of bloodletting after being shot into the human body, and the heroes who can persist in fighting with arrows will never be produced in front of the archers of the Blood Qijun. Two of these arrows will bleed into a coma within a few minutes. The only downside is that the arrows are extremely expensive, and when fired, the two cone-shaped holes will send the air through it to make a whining and screaming sound like a child's cry...... When the Xiling soldiers rushed to the city, the savvy archers could continue to use their bows, while the less confident archers replaced their longbows and drew their crossbows to shoot their targets with extreme accuracy.

Divine Arm Bow, Ballista Plus Archer, and all the ranged units of the Blood Qi Army combined, the average cost of a salvo is about three hundred taels of silver. But the Blood Qi Army, which spares no expense, is undoubtedly the most efficient army in this era. Zang Keming's face turned pale. He saw that under several rounds of three-dimensional strikes from far to near at the head of Baishi City, when the first batch of 5,000 soldiers rushed to the city, there were less than 4,000 left. Moreover, there was no large equipment except for the ladder that the soldiers carried when they charged...... Not to mention the building cars, even the rushing cars covered with thick iron plates that hit the city gates have become teppanyaki. The soldiers sacrificed their lives to erect ladders and climbed towards the city with great courage, but one by one they fell to the whistling of arrows that seemed to be everywhere.

At the head of the White Rock City, except for the soldiers who were shooting for the Divine Arm Bow, Ballista, and Catapult, who squatted behind the female wall and looked through the small shooting hole, the original defenders of the White Rock City did not even enter the city. Only more than 800 heavy infantry held out at the head of the city. Due to the effective suppression of long-range weapons, Xiling's archers were unable to organize a large-scale salvo at all, and those sparse and scattered arrows were no different from tickling for heavy infantry. But once a Xiling soldier rushed to the top of the city, their bright long knives were swung in unison. When the enemies in front of them were cut open by them, and the walls were knocked down by them, their faces did not even have time to change their expressions, and the enemies were like a tidal wave.

"General Zang, Xue Fulin, the deputy commander of the Danxi battalion, fell into the city and died." A small school nervously ran to Zang Keming's side and reported tremblingly.

"What!" Xue Fulin is Xue Jingze's brother-in-law, and Zang Keming's brother-in-law, the most trustworthy general under him. Xue Fulin's death made Zang Keming's mind bloodshot.

"The Dancy battalion withdrew and regrouped. Dandong camp replaced. …… No, on the Immortal Camp. The Dandong and Baishui battalions began to attack from the north and south walls. Let my headquarters Moshui Camp repair for an hour and add food. There are so many people in the city, give me turns to attack, I don't believe it, they can also take turns to rest. Zang Keming roared. He always believed that he could take White Rock City, but Tong Bingwen asked him not to lose too much so that he kept refraining, but now he can't restrain himself. After all, he was a general, and he knew very well that only after he could achieve results could he consider the size of the losses.
