Chapter Forty-Eight: Assault on Huang Jia (I)
When Sannan saw the ten counterweight trebuchets at the top of the city, his first instinct was to destroy them immediately.
But he didn't expect the attack of the Blade Destroying Battalion to be so sharp and domineering! Two rounds of 100 crossbow arrows inflicted heavy losses on the opponent's trebuchet troops, and also killed one of the opponent's flag bearers.
So, he took advantage of the situation and sent another hundred crossbows to attack!
There are not many soldiers left in the trebuchet unit!
There was a lot of commotion in the opposing army's formation, and there was a lot of noise, and even the war horses were frightened and let out uneasy neighing.
However, there was still a force standing in place, not moving, their golden helmets and golden armor, the formation was neat, there was no scattering, under the light, it was like a golden ocean!
Huang Jiawei! The name flashed in Sang Nan's mind, there is indeed a taste of the guard!
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he shouted at the soldiers of the Destruction Battalion, "Get down to the wall!" ”
The soldiers of the Destroyer Battalion hesitated for a moment, but did not think much about it, quickly got up and carried the crossbow machine on their backs, and ran down the city wall along the passage.
Before Sang Nan and the others could leave, they heard an angry roar from the opposing camp:
"Put!" The trebuchet's hook was still opened.
Bang! The huge muffled voice suddenly sounded from the opposing camp, and the arms of the ten tall trebuchets creaked, and suddenly popped upwards with force.
Ten boulders, which seemed to leap into the air lightly, turned into ten huge shadows in an instant, and quickly smashed towards the wall of the tulou with a suffocating wind!
"Hide behind the battlement!" At this time, on the city wall, only a few generals such as Li Yuanru and fifty members of the Young Guards were left, they looked at the boulder flying head-on, they were all a little stunned, and suddenly heard Sang Nan's roar, hurriedly rolled and climbed, lying under the battlement of the wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before everyone could catch their breath, a series of loud crashing sounds came into their ears, and billowing gunpowder smoke quickly spread all over the tulou.
The entire tulou trembled violently under the impact, almost bouncing Sang Nan off the ground.
Another boulder flew over everyone's heads with a thud and landed in the inner courtyard, smashing a large hole in the hard ground, but fortunately there was no one around.
Bang bang bang! A section of the earthen wall was crumbling, and rubble was scattered on the ground.
"A few more times, the outer wall of the tulou will have to collapse!" Seeing the power of the trebuchet, everyone on the wall thought in horror.
"Gotta destroy those trebuchets, or this place won't be defended!" Regardless of the dust on his face, Sang Nan ran down the wall with everyone, and then said to Li Yuanru:
"Why don't you try those Yellow Armor Guards?"
……
Huang Puyu is now in a somewhat depressed mood, the other party actually rushed to kill the trebuchet troops and the flag with a crossbow before he did it, although those trebuchets are still there, there are few soldiers left who can operate, and there is only one general left, even if he can continue to fire, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
This is no coincidence!
It's a fighting rhythm! Interrupt the rhythm of your own attack with a crossbow attack, and the opposing commander's commander must be a person with extremely sharp combat instincts.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the circular military town opposite.
If what you expected is correct, the next thing the other party has to do is to destroy these trebuchets!
Let me wait and see!
Huang Puyu gently patted the neck of the war horse, thinking silently in his heart.
"Draw some ordinary soldiers, let you command, and keep the attack going!" He came up to the general and said in a deep voice.
"Don't be afraid, the other party won't attack again for the time being!" Seeing the fear in the general's eyes, Huang Puyu's tone was a little disdainful, and he secretly sarcastically said: "Courageless! ”
"Why don't you be afraid, you stand in front and try!" The general stood in the middle of the corpses on the ground, muttering in his heart, but he could only honestly collect the remnants, pull up the heavy objects with the winch again, and load the boulders, but the time was much slower than before!
Bang Dang! The gate of the castle on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a team came out of it without hurrying.
Tall, condensed, steady as a mountain!
Looking at these soldiers, for some reason, many people felt an extremely familiar feeling arise!
That's right! They are too similar to Huang Jiawei.
The same heavy armor, the same heavy shield, and the same temperament! It's just that the style of the battle armor is simple, which is very different from the gorgeousness of the three beast armors!
Immovable as a mountain, as deep as the sea, as if it will never be destroyed!
Standing beside such comrades-in-arms, I always feel very down-to-earth!
The soldiers on both sides thought so.
Huang Puyu counted, this group of soldiers only had eight hundred, and like Huang Jiawei, they were all hoplites, the only difference was the weapons in their hands.
"Is this the Spindle Valley Raider? The shield is ridiculously big, isn't it? Seeing the half-mountain shield, Huang Puyu also smacked his tongue a little, he always felt that his stone turtle was not small, but compared with the "door panel" in the other party's hand, the stone turtle simply became a delicate girl.
The problem is, such a shield can only be used for defense!
Were they sent to be beaten?
Huang Puyu also uses shields, and it can naturally be seen that these soldiers of the assault camp may belong to a very extreme type of army - heavy shield warriors!
The Heavy Shield Warrior needs to be mixed and matched with other offensive classes to play its role, otherwise what is the value of a class that can only defend and cannot attack?
The soldiers stopped a hundred meters from the trebuchet, and instead of calling for an attack, they automatically arranged themselves in four horizontal rows, like a thick wall, as if they were protecting someone.
Don't? Huang Puyu's gaze passed over these heavy armors and continued to look towards the city gate.
Thundered!
A group of cavalry in yellow armor suddenly galloped out of the city gate and went straight in the direction of the trebuchet!
This team of cavalry has a thousand people, the speed is extremely fast, the momentum is compelling, without the slightest hesitation, like a huge yellow cloud, quickly approaching the front of the Jin family array!
For a time, the iron hooves roared, and the earthquake trembled!
Sure enough!
Huang Puyu's face was calm, and he waved his hand at the other flag, and the flag was played, and the noisy drums and trumpets sounded again.
The soldiers of each battalion took their positions, mounted their bows, set up their guns, and lined up to meet the enemy.
It is clear that the other party is trying to destroy the trebuchet!
Looking at the two teams not far away, Huang Puyu suddenly became excited, looking at this posture, he knew that both teams were elite warriors of Spindle Valley, if they were defeated in a battle today, the other party might not have the power to fight back next.
Since they gave up defending the city and ran out on their own, it saved themselves a lot of trouble!
Let's do it quickly!
Now it seems that the command of the opposing commander is completely out of order, and it is simply wishful thinking that with a team of light cavalry to confront the combination of horses, bows, crossbows, and guns at the same time!
As for the assault camp on the other side, I will personally lead someone to solve it!
"Watch your men be slaughtered under trebuchets before returning their bodies to you!"
With an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth, Huang Puyu silently said to the half-coach opposite who had never met.
He calmly dismounted, holding the giant shield of the stone turtle, looked at the strong defense line of the opposing camp, and shouted loudly:
"Huang Jiawei! Kill the enemy with me! (To be continued.) )
