The rumbling drums of war resounded through the sky; The shouts of the soldiers in unison pierced the heavens and the earth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As Xiahou Yuan's voice sounded, dozens of trebuchets in the army made a squeaky sound, and then dozens of catties and hundreds of catties of big stones roared towards Pujia Pass. After a few rounds of stone throwing, there were a lot of damages on the city wall of Pujiaguan, but this did not have much impact on Pujiaguan, but the stones that fell into Pujiaguan smashed a lot of houses and caused certain losses.
"It's snowing." Shi Yuan looked up at the sky, and a snowflake fell on his face, and a chill suddenly hit.
After the stone throwing, the enemy army outside the pass began to attack the city. Ladders, well railings, rushing cars, the enemy's siege equipment is really good! The Wei army deserves to be the most brave and skilled army in the world today.
Shi Yuan was standing on the city wall at this time, surrounded by a circle of people, Guang You stood next to Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan planned to let Guang You feel the war now, so that there would be no fear after Guang You went to the battlefield in the future. As for the defense of Pujia Pass, Shi Yuan was completely handed over to experienced generals such as Wei Yan, Lei Tong, and Meng Da, who were much better at this than themselves, and professional things were still left to professional people to do.
As for the repeater, Shi Yuan did not intend to use it at the beginning, but left it for the enemy to use when he was a little tired from attacking, so that the damage to the enemy would be greater.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy troops who swarmed like a tide came to the bottom of the city wall, and the ladders were erected, and suddenly the soldiers began to climb up the city wall along the ladders. There are many elite soldiers of the Wei army on the well railing, but because the movement speed of the well fence is very slow, when the enemy pushes the well fence to be twenty or thirty steps away from the city wall, it stops, the Wei archers on the well fence begin to shoot arrows to the city wall to kill the defending army, at this time the well fence is like a moving arrow tower, because the distance is very close, the bow and arrow shot by the archers is accurate and hateful, and it has caused great casualties to the defenders on the city wall for a while. The best way to deal with the well fence is to attack with fire, only to see that at this time, there are a lot of white smoke in some places on the city wall, it should be igniting a fire! Suddenly, I saw a rocket flying towards the place outside the city wall where there was a well railing, after the rocket hit the well railing, the fire oil on the arrow flowed to the well railing, and soon the well fence burned together, and the Wei army on the well fence saw that the well fence under him began to burn, and ran down one by one.
A rushing car was also slowly pushed by the enemy not far in front of the city gate, a few steps away from the city gate. Because the cart is very heavy, it takes dozens of people to push forward to push, and every time you take a step forward, the enemy soldiers are shot by the arrows on the city wall, and the enemy soldiers pushing the cart along the way are not known how many people are shot and killed. The car came to the city gate, and the enemy shouted and pushed and pulled the logs on the car to hit the city gate, and every time he could hear a huge sound, Shi Yuan, who was staying under the gatehouse, listened to this sound was particularly loud.
The well fence outside the city was almost burned by the rockets at this time, and under the command of the defending general, a group of archers began to aim their bows and arrows at the rushing cart that was hitting the city gate, and the dense arrows caused great damage to the enemy troops near the rushing car, and in a few moments, the enemy troops near the rushing car were shot and killed.
Just at this time, his hand was tightly grasping Shi Yuan's clothes, the scene in front of him was indeed a little cruel to people of his age, Shi Yuan did this also has some meaning of pulling seedlings to grow, but Shi Yuan has no way to do this, now Liu Bei's famous generals are very old, like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, etc., and the rising stars are indeed very scarce, Shi Yuan is also doing this for the future, one more good general will have a better chance of winning, I hope that the light is not frightened by the scene in front of him. Thinking of this, Shi Yuan reached out and touched Guang You's head, looked down at Guang You, and saw that Guang You's eyes were staring at the front, there seemed to be anger burning in his eyes, and the appearance that Guang You showed at this time was definitely not what a 13-year-old child should be, Shi Yuan thought about it, it was probably because of the impact of the war in Yucheng on him at that time!
It has been three hours since the enemy attacked Pujia Pass, and a small number of enemy troops have attacked the top of the city wall in these three hours, but this was quickly eliminated by the many soldiers on the city wall, and the enemy has been attacking for three hours in a row, and the enemy is also showing some fatigue at this time, Shi Yuan looked at the enemy army in front of him, and estimated in his heart that it should be time to take out the repeater crossbow, so that the enemy can see the power of the new weapon!
After Shi Yuan gave instructions to General Wei Yan, General Wei Yan immediately ordered people to take out the twenty Zhuge crossbows brought from Chengdu. At this time, the volume of the Zhuge repeater is too large, the weight is also on the heavier side, and it is not suitable for individual use, so after the soldiers take out the Zhuge repeater, they will put one end of the repeater on the city wall to play a supporting role, so it is very convenient to use.
I saw that after the soldier put the repeater crossbow, he took out ten eight-inch iron crossbow arrows, put them into the quiver, and then adjusted the scale specially used for aiming and firing to aim at the enemy under the city wall.
After everything was ready, I saw twenty tall and mighty soldiers pull the trigger at the same time, each repeater fired ten iron crossbow arrows at the same time, and two hundred crossbow arrows at the same time to the enemy army under the city wall outside the pass roared, and suddenly I saw the enemy troops within twenty steps from the city wall fell down like arrows swept away by the autumn wind, and suddenly there was an empty space within twenty steps outside the city wall.
Load, aim, pull the trigger, fire. Two hundred iron crossbow arrows roared and flew towards the enemy army under the city wall again, twenty paces away, so close, two hundred iron crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, so dense, the enemy troops under the city wall could not hide at all, and some soldiers were shot by several iron crossbow arrows at the same time, naturally they could not die anymore.
After a few waves, there were no more enemy troops under the city wall, and the remaining enemy soldiers who had just rushed over saw the scene just now, and they were so frightened that they all stood still one by one, and after a while, they didn't know who shouted first and turned their heads and ran backwards, and the other soldiers also woke up after hearing the shouts of this life, and turned around and ran backwards.
"The enemy ran away, and we won." One of the soldiers on the wall shouted, and the soldiers next to him cheered with joy, and then the whole city wall cheered.
Shi Yuan looked at the soldiers fleeing under the city wall, and a smile appeared on his face. High-tech stuff is amazing! Shi Yuan thought in his heart.
