Time p

At the end of the day, the Hexi Army was finally ready for the war.

Under Xinping City, the giant trebuchets are all in place and occupy the launch position.

The rest of the wells, ladders, etc., were also on standby, and after the trebuchet had achieved fire suppression, it would be their turn to appear.

If the trebuchet collapses the walls, it will take the sword and shield soldiers to rush up in hand-to-hand combat.

"Stone bombs!"

At the sound of an order, a stone ball weighing one hundred and fifty pounds was put into the leather nest.

The crossbowmen pulled the gun ropes, and ten giant trebuchets waited for the Metropolitan Protector to give the order to attack.

The tall shafts were ready, all staggered by the giant trebuchets, ready to attack.

A number of soldiers can be hidden at the top of the well, and when they are pushed to the edge of the city wall, the springboard is released, and they can directly climb the city wall.

In addition, you can also stand on the well and fire arrows to carry out precision strikes on the enemy at the head of the city.

In order to improve the resistance of the well to the blow, the Hexi people covered a layer of iron on the solid wood.

In this way, the well is not afraid of fire or heavy objects, which greatly improves the survivability of the battlefield.

Moreover, after many exercises, the Hexi Army has summed up a set of siege tactics in which the well is combined with a giant trebuchet.

Anyone who has seen the power of this tactic believes that no fortified city can stop such an offensive today.

"Kang Long, pass on my general order, and the army will attack the city immediately."

"No."

"Most of the guards have orders, siege the city."

With Wei Shuo's order, the Hexi Army launched the most fierce offensive against Xinping City.

The heralds waved their red flags, hundreds of gunners slammed the ropes at the same time, and the tips of the ten guns were quickly doubled, and the stone bullets in the leather nests flew like meteors towards the city walls.

Heavy stone projectiles burst through the air with great inertia and smashed into the city walls.

With a loud bang, the stone bullets cracked, and obvious dents and cracks appeared on the city wall.

In the smoke and dust in the sky, the Hou Qin people who were hiding behind the city wall were so frightened that they trembled and trembled.

"Quick, hide, everyone."

After witnessing the power of the giant trebuchet, Yao Chong's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but let out a scream, but soon the shouts were drowned out by a huge roar.

'Whoosh ......'

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

With the sound of breaking through the air, huge stones were constantly being thrown by trebuchets.

Some of these stones lost their alignment and flew directly over the walls of the city and into the city.

But there were still some stones that hit the city wall hard.

In an instant, pieces of huge city bricks were smashed by those stone bullets, and even directly shattered.

There were even some stone bullets that seemed to be equipped with positioning and navigation, and they accurately smashed on the city wall, and the scene suddenly became miserable.

No matter how strong the armor you wear, or how strong the shield you hold.

Anyone who is hit by a stone bullet will have only one end, that is, they will become a puddle of flesh and a broken corpse.

Once the stone projectile lands on the city, it will quickly roll away.

And the soldiers of the defenders were not beaten with steel and iron, so they left a trail of blood everywhere they passed, and the soldiers died next to each other, and they died when they rubbed it.

After a few rounds, the trebuchet smashed the originally well-organized Qin army's defense to pieces.

Under the city, the people in Hexi will see the trebuchet exerting their might, and they can't help but be happy and feel comfortable.

"Hahahaha, good, good, really good!"

"With the help of such sharp weapons, what city can't be captured in the future?!"

"Yes, yes!"

"In the past, every time there was a siege battle, Hexi had to lose a lot of personnel."

"Well, now that we have trebuchets, we will greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers in the future when attacking the city."

Unlike the Hexi people, who still had the leisure to exchange battlefield experience, the Later Qin people seemed to be in hell.

"Grandma, I didn't expect the Hexi Army to have such a sharp weapon."

"General, what are we going to do? You can't just watch your brothers being slaughtered, can you? ”

"If we continue like this, we won't have to attack the Hexi Army, and we will collapse first."

Yao Chong shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "What can Ben do?" ”

"Those giant trebuchets are all out of range, and those catapults in the city can't hit each other at all."

"Unless you send the elite out of the city to destroy it, but in front of everyone, what is the difference between going out of the city to attack and sending them to death?"

After listening to what Yao Chong said, the surrounding Qin soldiers couldn't help but be full of despair, so they could only hide in the corner and resign themselves to fate.

What's even funnier is that some people don't know where to hear that those who believe in the Tao of the New Heavenly Master are not hit.

As a result, a group of Later Qin soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, praying to the Great Heavenly Venerable, trying to avoid the stone bullet attack.

The giant trebuchet finally stopped after raging for most of the hour.

The terrifying 'whoosh' sound finally disappeared in his ears, and the remaining Hou Qin people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A Houqin soldier cautiously poked his head out, and suddenly a terrible scream resounded through the sky.

"General, it's not good, River...... The Hexi army attacked. ”

This exclamation suddenly made the hearts of the Hou Qin people rise up again, and they all lay on the head of a tattered city, looking into the distance.

I saw that the people of Hexi were pushing the wells, ladders, and crashing cars in the midst of the earth-shattering shouts of killing, forming a majestic war sonata.

At the same time, countless Hexi soldiers rushed up with a round shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other.

At this time, Xinping Chengtou is no longer as hierarchical and orderly as before.

Under the continuous attack of 100 catties of stone bullets, the original battlements and battlements were all smashed into pieces, and even dozens of catapults in the city were smashed a lot.

Hundreds of soldiers were unfortunately stoned to death, and blood, broken arms, and stumps were scattered all over the ground, as terrible as hell.

Seeing this scene, Yao Chong couldn't help but turn red with anger, and his face was so hideous that he almost wanted to eat people.

He then drew his saber and pointed at the city and shouted, "Come on, prepare your bow and arrows, and shoot the people of Hexi." ”

……

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The earth-shattering drums of war finally sounded, and it also opened the prelude to the Hexi Army's attack on Xinping City.

Kuang En and Kang Long each led 3,000 soldiers, as the first round of attacking troops, and slaughtered Xinping City like a tide.

There was no exploratory attack, and as soon as it came up, the Hexi Army put in the strongest attack momentum and was ready to take Xinping in one go.

The Hexi Army is different from the traditional army, it is a well-equipped and extremely strong combat force.

And they have a clear division of labor, and the sword and shield soldiers are equipped with horizontal knives and round shields, which are very suitable for siege and fortress warfare.

The morale of the Hexi army was high, the attack was very orderly, and the people in front carried long planks to lay the moat.

Some people in the back carried the ladder, and finally there were thousands of ordinary soldiers, all holding round shields to the vital point.

Although the protective area of the round shield is not large, it is lightweight, especially suitable for siege.

Siege soldiers could climb ladders in one hand and round shields in the other to defend against arrows and even rolling logs and rocks from above.

When the Hexi soldiers rushed to within 100 paces, the city was suddenly shot with arrows.

The overwhelming array of arrows rained down on the rushing Hexi soldiers, and some soldiers were constantly hit by arrows along the way.

But it did not frighten the pace of the Hexi people's advance, and at the sound of rumbling war drums, pieces of wood were laid on the moat.

In just a moment, a simple and convenient 'bridge' appeared on the moat out of thin air, turning the moat into a thoroughfare.

After successfully passing through the moat, the siege soldiers erected the ladder and firmly attached it to the city wall with a large iron hook at the front end.

Suddenly, the Hexi soldiers rushed to climb up.

At this time, the defenders of the city, under the command of Yao Chong, smashed countless rolling wood and stones.

Some Hexi soldiers were unfortunately hit and fell down the ladder screaming.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo in the rear immediately ordered: "The crossbowmen suppress the enemy army and cover the sword and shield soldiers to attack the city." ”

All the crossbowmen in Hexi have undergone intensive training, which is not only fast, but also accurate in archery.

Under the blows of the Hexi crossbowmen, the Hou Qin soldiers continued to shoot arrows and roll down from the city screaming.

An overwhelming barrage of crossbow bolts was fired at the city, which began to suffer a large number of casualties.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred and ten Houqin soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the top of the city.

As soon as the crossbowmen came out, they instantly suppressed the counterattack of the Qin army at the head of the city.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the Hexi soldiers began to speed up their ascent to the city, gradually gaining the upper hand.

By this time, the defenders had suffered 2,000 casualties, almost a quarter of the total strength, and the defenders were becoming more and more passive.

Seeing that the entire section of the city wall was about to be lost, Yao Chong had no choice but to retreat to the corner with his henchmen.

At this moment, there was a sudden cheer outside the city.

It turned out that the Hexi army had broken the city gate with a crash car, and a large number of Hexi troops were surging into the city through the broken city gate.

When Yao Chong saw this scene, he couldn't help screaming, a mouthful of blood spurted out, he fell to the sky, and vomited blood on the spot and died.
