Chapter 88: Wang Xuance led the crowd to attack the city, Prad led his mother and then retreated (II)
But seeing the observation post on the nest car, after careful observation, the attack targets were transmitted to the aiming hand one by one. The aiming hand commanded this in an orderly manner, and more than fifty dragging hands moved this neat footstep, and with the command of "release", stone bullets weighing dozens of catties smashed into the head of Qunu City impartially.
In the face of this stone bullet falling from the sky, Alonashun and the generals who were watching the battle above the city were also completely stunned, such a distance, such a powerful stone bullet, they were already stunned from the momentum.
Many stone bullets with eyes smashed into the already boiling hot water pot on the city, and suddenly the hot water flowed wantonly on the city. Fortunately, the soldiers defending the city, seeing this scene, also dodged immediately, and there were not too many burns, but the defensive hot water prepared by Prad was lost three out of ten in a short time!
Seeing that the attack had worked, Chen Maocai immediately said to Xiao Liu: "Prepare to attack the earth-shaking thunder."
As a result, the earth-shattering thunders that had been accurately calculated by Xiao Liu flew to the city under the traction of the stone thrower. Because of the experience of several major battles, many experienced soldiers happened to hide under the stone bullet of this stone thrower in order to avoid the stone bullet of the stone thrower, the dead corner of the stone bullet! But seeing a thunderbolt that shook the sky, it fell impartially in the dead corner in front of them.
Looking at this unseen thing, these soldiers also stared at it with a hint of curiosity, and burned with the "zizizi" of the fuse. Suddenly, there was an explosion, and the impact was so strong that they lost their lives in an instant.
And this is also the first practical application of gunpowder. Despite the ingenious calculations in advance, some of the black earth-shattering thunderbolts still exploded in the air, and some were extinguished by the speed; Others were destroyed by the soldiers defending the city because of the slow burning of the leads.
Through the observation of the lookout on the nest cart, ten were thrown, and only these two fell on the top of the city. Despite this, the earth-shattering thunder that fell on the head of the city still caused many casualties among the soldiers defending the city. As a result, the earth-shattering sound and the thick and pungent smell of black powder immediately filled the sky above this Qu Nu City!
At this time, Alonashun and the generals completely understood that the things used by the Tang Dynasty Army and the Great Elephant Breaking Army were so powerful! And this also made the soldiers defending the city have a great sense of fear; This fear was no less than the fear they had when they first encountered the elephant army.
Seeing that the attack had worked, Wang Xuance waved the orange flag. But I saw these dozens of trench-filling carts, led by Prapada, rushing to the moat under the city of Qunu. Mr. Lee's trench truck is a large vehicle fully armed with leather planks. Inside the car, there are a number of battle positions for soldiers to push. Inside the trench filler were not only stones, but also bags filled with sand.
I saw that the soldiers here were pushing the trench cart one by one, and they were slowly advancing towards the moat. At this time, Garad and Aronashun were also completely stunned, what is this?
Although they did not know it, seeing that they were already within the range of the bow and arrows, they immediately ordered the archers to attack, but in the face of the heavily armed trench carts, the feathered arrows could not do anything at all.
But when the moat was found to be on the side of the moat, soldiers immediately threw stones and sacks of sand into the moat. Only then did they understand that the Tang army used such a method to fill the moat, so they were also surprised! I couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed......
In the process of filling the trench trucks coming and going, it didn't take long for the Tang Dynasty coalition army to fill in more than a dozen sections of the moat under the Qunu City! And this scene also made Alonashun and the others who were watching the battle in the city completely dumbfounded!
Wang Xuance then waved the black order flag, but saw that many soldiers of the coalition army took the lead in this chariot. Speaking of this chariot, its shape is like a hut, so it is also called a cave house. There are not only bases, but also wheels that can be propelled forward by manpower.
In order to save the physical strength of the cart soldiers, the base is usually empty to reduce the weight of the chariot. The top is generally inclined to reduce the degree of damage, and is covered with raw cowhide to prevent fire. However, the front of the car is generally not covered in any way, and the soldiers are defended with shields, so that they can quickly enter the battle after approaching the city wall.
And this is also the wisdom of ancient Chinese craftsmen, although this chariot does not look majestic, but it is enough to provide a strong security guarantee for the soldiers on the way to charge.
When the chariot crossed the moat and ran towards the city walls, Prad commanded the defenders to attack it with rolling stones, hot water, etc., but all this was in vain for the heavily protected chariots; Looking at this scene, they despaired.
But this more desperate was behind, but seeing that the chariot, under the impetus of the soldiers, had already crossed the moat and came under the wall. The tall and thick wooden curtain was thus supported.
Garrard and Prad then led the soldiers to defend the city, but it was all in vain for the behemoth of the mantle. As the goose chariot attacked, the soldiers who attacked the wooden mantle on the top of the city were also knocked down one by one. In an instant, it provides a strong protection for the upcoming ladder!
Seeing that the protection of the mantle cart and the goose falcon cart had worked, the ladder was easily propped up by some of the soldiers! In this way, under the protection of wooden curtains and shields, the soldiers climbed through the ladder towards the head of the Qunu City. And under the city gate, several crashing cars also crashed into the city gate of Qunu City with a strong impact!
In the face of all this, the Tang Dynasty's siege method, which was much higher than his own, not only Alona Shun instantly despaired, but also the soldiers defending the city above the city were also demoralized and lifeless. They know very well that with these, it is impossible for them to resist the attack of the Tang Alliance, and everything will be over!
Pasari, the general who led the army sent by the king of Kumoro, watched such a scene from the top of the city, and he was also terrified! Not only had he never seen such a siege method, but he had never seen so many elaborate siege equipment. looked at the Tang Coalition Army that was about to attack the city, and it gradually sprouted a retreat!
Wang Xuance, seeing that the siege had worked, then waved the green flag, and the soldiers of the brigade, under layers of protection, held sharp blades, pressed towards Qunu City!
All this that happened had already made Alonashun feel hopeless. At this critical moment, he already felt that everything was coming to an end, and his high morale and morale were completely lost at this time. Seeing that there was no coalition attack at the north gate and the south gate, it was temporarily decided that he and Lagarde would break through from the north gate with their own soldiers, and Prad would break through from the south gate with his queen mother Almita!
Will they be able to break through? Please see the next ......
