563, the terrible thunderbolt stone-throwing car
Zhu Wei's army took advantage of the truce and rest the soldiers for half a year, through realistic military training and combined with the training instructions of the Three Kingdoms game system, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers trained was definitely beyond the combat effectiveness of the soldiers that could be trained by ordinary armies in this world.
What's more, the 3,000 soldiers brought by Pang Yan at that time were the elite of the elite in his Xionglu camp, so he could still stand tall in the encirclement of nearly 10,000 enemy troops.
And in yesterday's battle, the pressure on the army led by Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Sun Quan, and Zhuge Liang was naturally much lighter than that on Pang Yan's side, so Zhou Yu and Huang Gai led the troops to break through Liu Xun's soldiers when they were injured a little, and the damage after that was basically minimal.
It is said that killing 1,000 enemies will cause 800 self-losses, but when the real elite soldiers on the battlefield face ordinary soldiers, the proportion of damage may not be so high.
So today, Zhu Wei once again led a large army to fight Anhui County, and the size of the army remained at nearly 20,000, almost no different from yesterday, and even because there were so many siege equipment in the army array, the size of the army seemed to be a little larger.
Of course, there is nothing else superfluous to attack Anhui County today, and Zhu Wei's army has set up a military formation on the battlefield two miles away from Anhui County.
Later, from Zhu Wei's military formation, Pang Yan took nearly 7,000 sword and shield men and 5,000 crossbowmen from the Xiong Lu battalion, and went directly to a fort outside Anhui County to kill him.
This purpose has been very clear, the goal of Zhu Wei's army in today's siege battle is to first pull out the two military forts located outside the city of Anhui County, and then launch a strong attack on the city of Anhui County.
Soon the main force of the Xionglu battalion led by Pang Yan came to the front of the fort, and under the protection of two thousand sword and shield men, the siege arrow tower and the thunderbolt throwing cart were erected on the ground, and then the rain of feather arrows and rocks attacked the fort.
And this structure in the Anhui county outside the city of the fort, basically with loess, gravel and wooden frame as the foundation of the foundation to build, the appearance looks boxy, the north is close to the city moat, relatively weak, the other three directions are with enough material to strengthen the wall of the fort.
The whole fort covers an area of more than 1,000 steps, just like a square loess hill extending out of the city of Anhui County, about three or four stories high, the fort wall is about five or six steps thick, it is indeed solid and stable.
On the top floor of the fort, wooden stakes were also used as arrow screens, and wooden planks were used to construct a platform, which allowed more than 1,000 soldiers in the fort to stand on the top floor at the same time and launch a counterattack against the foreign enemies who came to attack the fort.
Of course, the soldiers in the fort can also send troops to attack the enemy army attacking the city of Anhui County from the cantonment cave on the lower floor of the fort at any time.
If you are facing the attack of an ordinary army, such a fort can indeed play a good defensive and counterattacking role.
But now in the face of the siege equipment posed by Zhu Wei's army, this kind of fort seems to have completely become a target, Pang Yan did not send troops to attack at the first time, but just let the siege arrow tower and the thunderbolt throwing cart bombard the defenders in the fort for a round first.
The archers and crossbow archers on the siege arrow tower are just back, at most they can only threaten Liu Xun's soldiers hidden in the fort with feather arrows and crossbow arrows, but the stones thrown by the thunderbolt stone-throwing cart are really terrifying.
Now the stones thrown by the thunderbolt stone-throwing car in Zhu Weijun are not the original kind of gravel, with Huang Yueying, who is good at playing tricks, to help develop the stones, and now the stones thrown by the thunderbolt stone-throwing car in Zhu Weijun can basically be thick stones the size of a basin, and a rock is at least more than 100 catties.
Therefore, with the torsion of the thunderbolt stone throwing car, accompanied by a loud "thunderbolt", the rock was thrown over, and it smashed heavily on the wooden stake on the top floor of the fort, which could smash a gap at once, and then fell on the wooden platform on the top floor of the fort, which could directly smash a hole, and then fall into the hidden hole under the fort.
Even if the rock smashed against the loess and gravel exterior wall of the fortress, it was enough to make the wall creak for a while, and most of the wooden stakes hidden in the wall as supports would be shattered by the force, and there would be a large pit on the wall, plus cracks spreading around.
Although the accuracy of the Thunderbolt Stone-throwing Carts is not so high, it rarely misses when it hits a fort with a radius of more than 1,000 steps.
Every stone smashed into it, let alone the soldiers standing on the top floor of the fortress, even the soldiers hiding in the cave under the fortress may be directly smashed into mud by the stones falling from the sky.
"Thunderbolt... Snap ......", "Thunderbolt... Smack......"
Under the control of a special operator, the two thunderbolt throwing trucks threw more than a dozen rocks at the fort over there, smashing the top floor of the fort to pieces, and there was almost no way to stand.
The hundreds of Liu Xun soldiers who were originally standing on the top floor of the fort couldn't help but look in fear in the direction of the thunderbolt catapult at this moment, and then stared at the rocks thrown in the air with their eyes, for fear that they would be the next unlucky people to be hit by the rocks.
Maybe they don't have to be afraid of death, but they are afraid that there will be no corpse in this way.
They had completely lost the courage to fight in the face of the thunderbolt catapult they had never seen before, but at the moment they had no way to deal with it, and many of them were already thinking about escaping from the fort, at least then they could fight people face to face.
In such a situation, it is completely waiting for death for them.
At this time, Liu Xun was stunned when he saw this scene on the gate tower of Anhui County, he never thought that there would be such a change in the battle situation, it was not that you should fight back and forth, it was not that you should climb the city and attack the city, we used various means to defend the city.
Now what's going on, you're fooling!
"This... What is this, that it is so terrible! If it is Zhu Wei's army, use it to attack the city, what can it do! ”
Liu Xun couldn't help but ask his advisers and generals, he originally thought that he could be used as a fortress for Tibetan soldiers to defend the corners of the city outside the city, but now he could only watch as he was attacked by Zhu Wei's army with terrible means.
However, Zhu Wei's army stood outside the attack range of the city, and Liu Xun had no way to support the fort outside the city, as for sending troops out to support or something, after yesterday's battle, Liu Xun didn't dare much.
Originally, according to Liu Xun's assumption, these two forts were within the range of bows and arrows on the city wall, so if Zhu Wei's army attacked these two forts, he could naturally command the archers on the city wall to help shoot and kill Zhu Wei's army attacking the fort.
In this way, even if Zhu Wei's army captured these two forts, it would cost at least four or five thousand troops of Zhu Wei's army, which would naturally resolve the intensity of Zhu Wei's army's siege.
However, now that Zhu Wei's army has come up with this method, the fort he put outside the city can only be beaten but has no power to fight back at all.
If Zhu Wei's army also used this kind of equipment when attacking the city of Anhui County, then what should he defend when defending the city, and should his soldiers stop Zhu Wei's army from attacking the city under the threat of these rocks......
