Chapter 20: The first day of siege defeats

Looking at the enemy troops rushing over like a tide, Qin Feng gave an order, and all kinds of city defense equipment in Bolun City began to counterattack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the first big battle, we must defeat the arrogance of the enemy army, and also test how much advantage the Qin army has in these defensive equipment.

First of all, there are thirteen catapults in the city, the range of catapults can reach more than 300 zhang, like this kind of dense crowd, under a blow, often overturn seven or eight people, in fact, catapults kill soldiers and fall second, the key is that it has super deterrent power.

At this time, the Vidian soldiers who attacked saw a big stone smashed towards themselves, and a big pit was smashed out at once, and the dust was all over the sky, and the soldiers who were hit around the pit had already turned into meat sauce. The siege equipment such as the cloud ladder that was smashed also turned into powder one by one. Among them, there was a boulder, which even fell a few feet away from the big tent of the Chinese army in Coroli, if it weren't for the fear of demoralizing, Coroli would have wanted to retreat a hundred feet to avoid the edge.

The Vidas led the besieging officers, riding on tall horses, leading the soldiers, dodging the boulders, and charging towards the city of Bolun. One of the officers, a subordinate of Sejianburo, the lord of Tobula, only heard a "whoosh" in his ears, and saw a seven-foot-long giant arrow shooting towards him, and hurriedly drew his sword and pulled it away. However, the Qin army's hundred-man giant crossbow was fierce, and where could it be opened, the arrow passed through the chest, and the remaining momentum was unabated, and with this officer, it flew out several zhang and was firmly nailed to the ground.

The other officers were startled, and hurriedly crouched on their horses, and rushed towards the city of Bolun, for fear that the giant crossbow in the city would target them.

However, the Vidian officers, dressed very differently from ordinary soldiers, even if they were lying on horseback, they did not escape the eyes of Li Tie and other archers, and for a while, seven or eight officers were shot and killed.

After a while, the siege soldiers were already about 200 zhang away from the city wall, and this was also the beginning of the Qin army's large-scale arrangement of tribulus terrestris and other equipment to block the enemy, and it was also the beginning of the hell of the Vidi soldiers.

I saw more than a thousand arrows falling from the sky in an instant in Bolun City, and the Qin army's foot crossbow only shot a salvo, and shot more than 100 Vidian soldiers, and these soldiers were trapped by thistles, and the speed of advance was greatly slowed down. At this point, it was only 50 zhang advanced.

From the distance of 200 zhang to 100 zhang from the Bolun city wall, the Qin army set up a large number of thistles, antler wood, trapping horse pits, rejecting horse guns, this short 100 zhang, the soldiers of the Vidian tribe were shot by arrows, there were more than 2,000 people.

Coroli in the rear army looked at all this, and his calm eyes began to change a little, is this really the group of untouchables who live in that small town? With such a long range, don't say that you have never heard of it, I am afraid that in the rich and powerful Gupta Dynasty, there is no such advanced weapon!

When the Vidian soldiers advanced to 100 zhang away from the city wall, the arrows that appeared above their heads were no longer sparse, but a night-like rain of arrows, which was the Qin army's crossbow. At this time, the Qin army almost had one crossbow in his hand, and a salvo was more than 10,000 arrows. What's more, there are hundreds of bed crossbows, each bed crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time, and hundreds of bed crossbows are thousands of arrows at a time. If the 100 zhang just now was hell for the Vidian soldiers, then the current 100 zhang is the beginning of purgatory.

At this time, the soldiers of the Vidian tribe, holding their shields high in both hands, and the soles of their feet had to watch out for the thistles that appeared from time to time, so they could only move forward step by step. However, the crossbow is different from the bow and arrow, although the frequency of shooting is not high, and it is quite time-consuming to fill the arrow each time, but the rate of fire is high, and the wooden shield of the Vita soldiers cannot resist it at all, and the arrows often penetrate the shield and enter, and the arrows fall to the ground, which is innumerable.

Those Vidian cavalry troops, by the antlers, trapped in the horse pit, rejecting the horse gun waiting for the equipment to block one after another, of course, the cavalry advantage is gone, at this time the arrow fell to the ground, more than the infantry army.

When the Vidian soldiers finally attacked the city, the casualties of the soldiers were already thousands, and this was only the beginning of the siege.

In the rear, Korori's eyelids jumped as he looked at the fallen soldiers, he never expected that there would be such a large number of casualties in less than a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, at this time, it has already attacked under the city wall, no matter how powerful your bow and crossbow are, it is useless at this time!

The Vidian soldiers under the city walls quickly assembled into phalanxes according to the formation, and the periphery and the top of the phalanx were covered by shields. In the phalanx, several soldiers in armor rushed out, carrying ladders and other equipment, and rushed towards the city wall. After setting up the ladder, the soldier climbed up the ladder like ants.

At this time, the walls of the city rolled wooden stones, tumbling down, and those who were hit fell down one after another, carrying the soldiers behind them, and also fell down the ladder.

and the recycled wood, driven by the gears, swept along a city wall in a fan shape, but all the soldiers who were next to it fell down one after another. Look at the sassage wood again, after some sweeping, it was actually taken back to the city wall. After a while, it swept in a fan shape again. This is repeated, and the number of Vita soldiers who have been smashed down from the ladder is countless.

In addition to these, there are countless branch-like weapons stretched out on the city wall, several Qin soldiers held this thing, and slammed it against the ladder, and the ladder was pushed up, not only the ladder, but also the soldiers on the ladder, were pushed to the ground, fell down the city wall and died, and the knocked down ladder smashed to death, under the city wall, gradually covered the ground.

At this moment, the city walls are repeatedly erected, ladders are pushed down, climbed up and smashed down, this kind of repeated offensive and defensive battles.

At this time, in the large army behind the phalanx, dozens of people pushed wooden oxen to attack carts and pointed wooden donkeys towards Bolun City. Both siege machines were covered in armor, and dozens of soldiers were hidden underneath, pushing forward.

When the oxen attacked the city gate, the other people hurriedly moved the antler wood outside the city gate at the risk of being shot, and struggled to shovel soil and fill the trench. One of the soldiers, perhaps thinking that the filling was too slow, picked up a Vidian corpse and threw it in the trench, while the other Vidian soldiers saw it and followed the soldier's example, and also carried the body to fill the trench. After a while, the trench was filled with corpses, and the wooden oxen attacked the city gate one by one, and as long as the city gate was knocked open, the siege battle was half won.

The pointed wooden donkey was coming towards the wall, and Assam, the king of Bolun, knew where the wall was weak and where the soil was loose. These pointy wooden asses are slamming into these weak spots. They knew that the Qin army had not only raised the city walls, but also thickened these weak points.

At the gates and at the weak points of the city walls, there were several urns of fire oil, and almost at the same time, these places were poured with an urn of fire oil, and then dozens of torches fell from the sky. These pointed wooden donkeys and wooden oxen attacked the chariot and burst into flames, and dozens of soldiers hiding in them were also burned out. Those who were good were shot by arrows from the city to avoid suffering, and those who were not so good could only be burned alive by fire.

The siege had been going on for five hours, and from early morning to evening, the Vidian soldiers had not captured a single wall, but tens of thousands of casualties had been taken. It is no wonder that in the face of such a technical class of the Qin army, if the arrows and equipment are sufficient, I am afraid that the Vidi tribe will never be able to attack Bolun City. And they knew that the armament of the Qin army had been consumed by thirty percent in just five hours. Such a large-scale and high-density counterattack will not last long.

Ke Luoli in the big tent of the Chinese army in the rear had a blue face at the moment, and several other city lords also showed a look of pain on their faces, the more than 10,000 soldiers who died in the battle also had their men and horses!

Coroli looked at Bolun City in the distance, gritted his teeth and gritted it, and sighed: "Command to collect troops"!

"Father! You can't collect troops! At this time, these untouchables are at the end of their crossbows, as long as they continue for two more hours, no! In three hours, the city of Bolun will be conquered"! Assam shouted.

Before Ko Luo Li could speak, Shamoro, the lord of Darrow City who was standing on the side, slapped Assam to the ground: "Bastard! In just five hours, more than 10,000 soldiers have been killed, do you want us all to die in this damn city of Bolun?"

"Brother-in-law"! Assam shouted aggrievedly.

Shamoro heard another slap in the face: "I'm not your brother-in-law!" Bastard! If you dare to talk more, Lao Tzu will kill you now"!

"Enough! Herald to withdraw troops"! Koroli ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. After a while, the soldiers of the Vidian city-states, leaving more than 10,000 corpses outside Bolun City, were defeated and retreated!
