Chapter 485: City Break (2)
After another two hundred meters, eighteen trebuchets stopped, one every two zhang, in a line, and four soldiers remained under each trebuchet to guard, and then the rest of the soldiers continued to advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When there were only two hundred meters left from the city wall, they reached the moat, and the soldiers carrying the pontoon bridge put the pontoon bridge on the moat, and then all the soldiers launched a general attack on the city wall.
And at about the same time, King Xiao Jin and King Yu ordered their soldiers to attack. Arrows and feathers were shot down the city.
In fact, with the range of the archers of the soldiers in the city, they couldn't shoot at all, but for the sake of safety and in order to take the initiative, King Xiaojin and King Yu ordered to start attacking.
Li Yan's soldiers and horses did not panic, nor did they panic, after the pontoon bridge was built, first two teams of shield soldiers and two teams of crossbow archers crossed the pontoon bridge, and then the soldiers carrying the ladder and the soldiers pushing the siege tower.
After crossing the pontoon bridge, the previous two teams of shield men and two teams of crossbowmen walked to both sides, and under the cover of the shield soldiers, the crossbowmen stopped, and after a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, they shot arrows at the city wall!
In fact, this distance is exactly the distance from which the arrow feathers fly on the city wall, according to common sense, the arrow feathers are shot from top to bottom, and the range will inevitably be widened, but it is a little difficult to shoot from the bottom to the top, but these teams of crossbow arrows are not simple crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows held by each soldier have a range of more than one hundred and fifty meters!
If it weren't for the seven or eight meters wide moat, it is estimated that on the other side of the moat, these two teams of crossbowmen would have started shooting.
Woo woo...
At this time, Li Yan sounded the horn in the military formation behind, and at the same time, the trebuchet, the giant crossbow, and the crossbow arrow array on the side of the moat were all ready, all ready to attack but there was no real attack, and when Li Yan gave this order, he began to really launch a general attack!
Whoosh...
Bang bang bang...
Suddenly, eighteen trebuchets, twenty-four giant crossbows, and countless crossbow arrow arrays on the side of the moat all launched attacks on the city wall in front of them, and the density and power of their attacks far exceeded the attack density of the soldiers of the little Jin King and the Yu king in the city.
After three rounds in succession, the fire on the city wall was suppressed to death, and many soldiers were hindered by the strong firepower, and did not dare to show their heads and hid behind the wall piers.
And at this time, the soldiers carrying the ladder and pushing the siege tower just crossed the pontoon bridge and walked towards the city wall, at this time the firepower on the city has been greatly reduced, and countless crossbow arrow arrays and giant crossbows and trebuchets are used as cover, and the safety factor has been greatly increased.
After a while, the ladder was set up on the city wall, the siege tower was close to the city wall, and countless shield soldiers climbed up along the paved road, very fast, and powerful and orderly, without the slightest mess.
Xiao Jin Wang and Yu Wang also hid behind the wall pier just now, and when they reacted and stood up, they had already found that the enemy was beginning to climb up the city, and suddenly, the two picked up their weapons and scolded their soldiers to meet the enemy quickly.
Jiang Yiyuan saw this in the rear, and was deeply shocked, first of all, the giant strong crossbow, and the crossbow arrow, which made him have a strong interest, these two things he had never seen before, especially the crossbow arrow, which didn't even need to open the bow, it seemed to pull a mechanism, and then the arrow feathers shot out like this, and its power was even stronger than that pulled by the soldiers, which made him extremely incredible.
And then there's that giant crossbow, whose range has reached 500 meters!
500 meters, attack the city in front of you by shooting from the back, adjust the position and height, and attack the enemy one foot above the city wall, which is either the chest or head of the enemy soldier, and the accuracy is breathtaking!
Jiang Yiyuan imagined for a moment, if these giant crossbows were used to defend the city, they would be quite powerful, and if they were placed on the city wall and adjusted to the direction obliquely, the power could be imagined.
On top of that, this thing has a long range, farther than a trebuchet, which makes him puzzled.
I wanted to ask Li Yan and Liao Yun, but after looking at the three of them, he didn't open his mouth, because he knew that even if he asked, there was no way, and the three of them wouldn't say anything at all.
Jiang Yiyuan made up his mind that he must find a way to get these two things, and then let the craftsmen also build them, such a good thing is simply a weapon to kill the enemy.
"Kill, kill...!"
Under the city walls, countless soldiers roared and began to climb up, with a momentum like a rainbow...
Boom boom...
There were countless bows and arrows and boulders thrown down in the city, although the density was not as high as before, but there were still a lot, but the casualties to Li Yan's troops were extremely small.
To say that Li Yan's thousands of people are really not boasting, they are indeed elite, and it can be said that the casualties are reduced as much as possible; When the soldiers ran to the city wall and gained a foothold, some shield soldiers ran to the bottom of the ladder and raised their shields, and all the soldiers passed from under the countless shields, and then climbed up the ladder, that is, before the soldiers did not climb up the ladder, they would not be injured, because there were too many shield soldiers, like iron buckets, even if the boulder fell down, it would not hurt the slightest.
However, as soon as you climb the ladder, you can't cover anymore, and you've been completely exposed, so you can only use speed to increase the effect of siege.
The little golden king shouted in the city: "Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" ”
"Quickly release the arrows, and no one is allowed to go to the city!"
King Yu said busily.
As the two of them shouted, the soldiers of the city stood up at the risk of death, opened their bows and arrows, and some of them lifted stones and threw them down.
Puff puff puff!!
A dozen soldiers had just raised their heads, and a large number of sharp weapons flew in the distance, a dozen crossbow arrows, and three spears (shot from giant crossbows), and four or five stones, which were about to be stoned to death by the dozen soldiers.
Three soldiers were sent flying by spears, two were hit by boulders, and the rest died under the bolts.
King Xiao Jin and King Yu suddenly panicked, looked at the siege soldiers under the city, retreated without hesitation, and walked into the hidden soldier cave behind.
The two never expected that today's siege soldiers would cooperate so well, many times the soldiers were suppressed as soon as they first appeared, and they couldn't even raise their heads, and they died when they appeared, which shows how powerful the enemy's firepower is.
In the Tibetan Soldier Cave, King Yu hurriedly said: "Little King Jin, I will take care of this, within two hours, the city will be broken, we must prepare early." ”
"Today's siege must be Ling Feng's army, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, the defenders of the city can't even defeat the siege of the city, hehe... It's the first time I've been taught. ”
"He also coordinated too well with his soldiers, suppressing our archers with long-range weapons at the beginning of the battle, and then starting the siege....
Before King Xiaojin finished speaking, King Yu said: "Oh, what's the use of saying so much, anyway, Yanghuai can't hold it, whether to fight or retreat, you have to make a decision early, which one do you think." (To be continued.) )
