With Zhou Bian's order, the catapults on both sides of the Dingding Gate that continued for several miles were erected high, and they were pulled down one by one, one after another, neatly as if they had been practiced, extremely shocking, Zhou Bian looked at it but also smiled, it turned out that he remembered a dance program in his previous life, Thousand-Armed Guanyin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But now, when I occasionally think of the afterlife, I am not as melancholy as when I first crossed over, yes, for such a long time, Zhou Bian has already integrated into this era, and in this troubled world, isn't it the era when good men make contributions and gallop the world?

Seeing that the formation of the Korean army coming to attack was obviously separated, hundreds of boxcars were in front, and a large number of soldiers hugged the lookout platform behind, and there was no stop, and they went straight to Luoyang City. Zhou Bian hurriedly gave another order, and all the catapults were loaded according to the longest range.

Since you're not ready to warm up, what am I going to do with my hands? Naturally, the South Korean army will be the fiercest attack.

Seeing that the Korean army was getting closer and closer, it had already reached half the distance in a blink of an eye, and the boxcar was in front, obviously wanting to push the boxcar down the city first, so as to cover the siege of the soldiers, and the royal family naturally wanted to stop its boxcar from advancing, otherwise it would be a great threat.

When even a sergeant reported, "My lord, the enemy has entered a mile outside the city, within range of the catapults. ”

Seeing that it was almost there, Zhou Bian nodded, "The order goes down, the catapult starts to attack, tell Tu Meng and Ziyuan, shoot freely, and destroy the boxcar as much as possible." ”

Several heralds immediately ran in both directions. Now that the Korean army is divided into three pieces to attack, the battle line is too long, and the royal family can no longer be unified in command, Zhou Bian decided that Wang Sunjian will be responsible for the defense of the city wall in the north, Tu Meng will be responsible for the catapult in the north, Liu Yun and Ziyuan in the south, and in addition to Zhou Bian himself and the young master, there are also Pang Xing and Zichang to lead the army. Nowadays, the number of troops in the royal family is increasing, and the demand for officers has also increased greatly, so Ru Ziyuan and other personal guards of Zhou Bian have also been mentioned to the position of commander or centurion, but there is no title for the time being.

With the order issued, first of all, the catapults around the Dingding Gate in the middle were powerful, and the ropes that held the catapults were cut off one after another, and the huge weight with the long end of the catapult rose quickly, throwing out the pieces of boulders weighing dozens of catties.

As soon as the flying stones in the middle were thrown, the catapults on both sides also moved, and hundreds of boulders flew up in the air suddenly.

The flying stone cut a graceful curve in the air and smashed towards the Han army fiercely, like a meteor.

Where have people in this era ever seen someone who can throw dozens of catties of stones so far, seeing that the stone is getting closer and closer, Han Bing also panicked, and suddenly there was a small commotion, some wanted to avoid the direction where the flying stone might fall, and some desperately squeezed into the boxcar, and in the neat army, there immediately appeared discordant small vortices.

In the distant Han soldiers, the eyes of a bunch of generals also narrowed, and there was still a mile to go, and the Zhou royal family began to attack, is this catapult so powerful?

However, the hundreds of flying stones in the air really told Han Jun that the Zhou royal family had already roared.

Although not as overwhelming as the 20,000 arrows of the Korean army, the more than 200 stones were still in the air due to their huge bodies, which put great pressure on all the Korean troops.

Finally, with the power of speed and gravity, the flying stone smashed down, stirring up tall pieces of dust to fly.

Although the formation of the Korean army was already relatively dense, only thirty of the two hundred flying stones still hit the target, and more just smashed on the ground, and the dust flew from this. Many stones fell to the ground before they reached a mile of land, because after all, catapults were made in a hurry, and naturally they could not all be of high quality, so the range was different.

At the same time, there were a few wails in the Han army, compared with tens of thousands of troops, these wails were indeed not noticeable, but what was even more chilling was that there were twenty or thirty people who were directly hit by flying stones, and the huge force directly smashed that person into a meat pie, and the flying stones were castrated, and after hitting a few people, they stopped. After a flying stone hit the crowd, it could directly injure five or six people, and the soldiers who finally caught it survived, and the wailing began from this.

The appearance of being smashed into meat cakes and even meat paste really greatly impacted the hearts of the surrounding Han soldiers, so cruel, compared to the bow and arrow and spear Ge, the difference is so big, being shot to death by a bow and arrow, the body is still basically intact, and being hit by this flying stone, but even the body can't be restored. You must know that when the city was attacked on the first day, it was not so miserable to be hit by the flying stones of the Zhou Chamber.

Indeed, on the first day, the royal family used a large number of small stones in order to increase the striking surface, but this time the royal family had so many catapults, so they naturally used large stones, and the effect was of course not the same.

However, the most exciting thing is not only that, in addition to the flying stones that smashed into the crowd, more than a dozen flying stones hit the boxcar. Although the boxcar is much less than its Korean soldiers, after all, its target is large, so it was hit by ten in the first round, which is still in line with the law.

The boxcar is much stronger than the soldiers, but it still can't withstand the flying rocks falling from the sky. After all, the stone itself weighs dozens of pounds, coupled with the speed, its strength is only afraid of no less than a thousand catties, so where the flying stone passes, although the boxcar is paved with wooden planks, but it is still smashed out of a hole, the flying stone almost did not suffer much obstacle and smashed into the dirt under the boxcar, fortunately at this time the boxcar is in a state of motion, only someone on both sides pushes, and no one in the middle.

There was even a boxcar, I don't know if it was hit by a flying stone, or if it was not of good quality, it collapsed to the ground with a bang, and the soldiers could no longer push it.

Shocked, seeing this scene, Han Hu, the general of the Han army in the rear, and others were shocked, and at this time they knew the true power of the Zhou royal family's catapult.

If this is still the case in the rear, how can the front army be easy. The moment the flying stone fell, tens of thousands of people in the three units of the entire South Korean army stopped for a few breaths, not the whole army stopped, some of the Korean soldiers who did not react or did not see it with their own eyes still rushed forward, and suddenly turned from a small riot at the beginning to a large-scale crowding.

The back pushed the front, and soon it was crowded together. However, the actual damage suffered by the ROK army was not great, and soon some officers shouted and reprimanded, and the ROK army quickly resumed its formation.

Zhou Bian on the city gate saw this scene from a distance, and his heart was also a little shocked, because although he couldn't see the death of the Han soldiers in the distance, the flying stone smashed into the Korean army and swept out a line, but he could see it clearly, and suddenly all of them, including the young master Yan Gao, widened their eyes and shouted loudly. Thousands of soldiers on the city walls on both sides also immediately cheered, and the royal family's momentum was suddenly high.

However, the Han army only paused, and still rushed forward without fear of death. And the royal family, naturally, did not dare to relax, more than two hundred catapults were pulled down again, yes, as long as someone pulled, a round of attacks of catapults only takes a few minutes.

At this time, several chariots galloped over from the rear army, but before they reached the front of the Han Division, the second round of flying stones on the head of Luoyang City flew over again.

Soon, hundreds of flying stones smashed into the Korean army again, this time the damage was greater than the first time, killing sixty or seventy people, and smashing again, and one of the boxcars could not be pushed away.

The Han army was naturally in a commotion again, and he hadn't run far yet, who could stand the blow of this frequency?

At this moment, several chariots in the rear rushed closer, and a shout from afar came, "The general has an order, run to the city quickly, after running to the city, the flying stone will not be so powerful!" ”

The Korean army that rushed to the front this time was almost all selected elite soldiers, and at this time, after listening to the order of the general in the rear, they immediately let out another roar and rushed forward at a faster speed than at the beginning.

The chariots did not dare to slack off, and continued to rush forward with the large team.

This scene was naturally seen by everyone in Luoyang City, Zhou Bian snorted coldly, and he didn't know who was fast. So Zhou Bian waved his hand and urged the order to go and let the catapult speed up again. Although let them shoot freely, as the king, it should still be useful to urge them.

The Korean army didn't run far, the third round of flying stones fell down again, this time the losses of the Korean army were even greater, except for a third of the flying stones smashed on both sides of the Korean army, and almost all of the rest smashed into the ranks of the Korean army, which immediately caused hundreds of deaths and more than a dozen boxcar injuries.

After all, the Korean army is mobile, and tens of thousands of people are just that, and the catapults are evenly distributed on the city wall several miles long, and they can only rely on brackets to fine-tune the shooting angle, so it is not bad to be able to achieve such results.

Next, it was still desperate to run and shoot desperately, and if you calculated carefully, the Korean army would suffer a flying stone strike almost every thirty steps, and in this way, in addition to opening the dead corner under the city, the Korean army would suffer nearly twenty flying stone strikes before rushing under the city wall.

Soon, the Han army braved the flying stones and rushed for a few hundred steps, and the more than 1,000 people who fell and more than a dozen boxcars parked in the middle of the road were obviously nothing to the Han army. However, as the distance narrowed, Luoyang's side also changed its strategy, and under the orders of their respective generals, the catapult no longer threw a whole large stone weighing dozens of catties, but began to use smaller stones, so that a catapult could throw multiple pieces at a time, so it caused more trouble to the Han army.

Zhou Bian on the gate of Dingding Gate nodded, these generals were not bad, they knew that they had decided to change their strategy, rather than waiting for the king's order, which made Zhou Bian extremely satisfied.

After changing to small stones, the power suddenly increased greatly, in the past, hundreds of flying stones were in the sky, but now it has become thousands of flying stones, and it is also a piece of flying in the air before and after, although it is not as good as the arrow cloud, but it is not far behind.

Although a single small stone is not as powerful as a large stone weighing dozens of catties, it is better than a large amount, and more Korean soldiers were injured this time, and even fell one by one, but the remaining Korean soldiers still rushed forward with the threat of death, which had to make Zhou Bian sigh again, why did it have to be so?

Finally, at the cost of more than 3,000 people in total, the Han army rushed into the 200 steps outside the city wall, still with the boxcar in front, the Han soldiers in the middle, and the lookout platform in the rear. There are 30 units in the north and south of the Wangcheng Terrace, and there are only nearly 20 units in the middle, so it is obviously more complicated to make, and it is impossible to imagine with the boxcar. Judging from the distribution of these forces, the South Korean army should mainly attack the north and south.

Looking at the lookout platform, which was almost as high as the city gate, getting closer and closer to the city wall, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be anxious, if Han soldiers were allowed to shoot condescendingly at the city wall on the lookout, it would bring great harm to our army, so another order was issued, let the catapult kill the lookout platform first.

Fortunately, the Wangchengtai moved extremely slowly, even if it was carried by dozens of Han soldiers, it was impossible to fly, and the target of the Wangchengtai was much larger than the boxcar and other objects, so it should be easy to hit.

However, it backfired, more than 200 catapults were powerful, but only one lookout was hit, but it was only shaken a little, and it did not collapse, it seems that the small stone is still a little less powerful. Looking at the Han army's forward getting closer and closer to the city wall, its running speed was much faster without the suppression of flying stones.

As a last resort, Zhou Bian had to order half of the catapults to continue to attack the lookout, while the other half adjusted the range to attack the South Korean army's forward.

The Korean army was still moving slowly, and the boxcar rushed to a distance of eighty or ninety steps away from the city wall and then stopped moving, while some of the Korean soldiers who followed closely behind got into the boxcar, took off the crossbow on their backs, and began to fight back at the city wall from the gap in the roof of the boxcar, while the other Korean soldiers continued to rush forward with ladders.

Sure enough, the Korean army really planned to attack the city as soon as it came up.

Immediately, there was a general on the city wall shouted, and thousands of arrows flew into the air on the north and south sides, and within eighty steps, it was within the range of the bow and arrow, and the royal family must give the Han soldiers the greatest damage before they rushed to the city wall.

Naturally, the Han soldiers would not be beaten in vain, and some of the Han soldiers who followed the ladder and rushed forward took off the big bow that straddled diagonally and began to shoot at the city wall. Arrows flew over the walls, and the two sides began to fire brutally again.

Obviously, the royal family has the advantage and is condescending, not only with a long range and great strength, but also with a psychological advantage, and how much strength can the archers of the Korean army use when they stop their steps to shoot while running?

So from time to time, Han soldiers fell, and even several ladders collapsed to the ground because more than half of the soldiers fell, smashing up a cloud of dust.

Eighty paces away is within the range of the catapult's attack, and within eighty paces is the range of the bow and arrow, and the Korean army is destined to pay a great price here.
