Chapter Seventy-Six: Frontal Defeat (Part II)

In Gongsun Xu's heart, as soon as the trebuchet came out, let alone the Wind Village, it was a fortified city, and under the blow of so many boulders, it was impossible to form an effective resistance.

The cottages and fortified cities of this era are definitely unguarded and outstretched women for trebuchets, allowing them to be ravaged without any resistance.

Although it was 108,000 miles away from the cannon platoon in later generations, it was already a remarkable behavior in the late Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Xu knows best that the war is fought in technology and equipment, in terms of technology, he has already occupied the greatest advantage, and he is far superior to his opponent in terms of equipment, so if he can't win head-on, then he really will be considered a vain rework.

Tempest Village is a good bandit in this era, but they are only better equipped than the Yellow Turban Thieves.

These bandits have been operating here for more than ten years, nothing more than five hundred cavalry and some bandits who can fight, and the equipment is even worse, more than one-third of the two thousand bandits can have leather armor, and the possibility of losing is basically zero when fighting with such bandits.

He led three thousand regular Han soldiers, and the equipment could be said to be the best among the Han soldiers, Rao is like this, there are still many generals who have no confidence in their troops, which is definitely unbearable for Gongsun Xu.

The soldiers and generals of the Han Dynasty are all the same now, except for the friction between the border army and the Wairong, they can fight a battle once a year or two years, and the rest of the soldiers are almost eating and waiting for death.

After too much peacetime, their blood and sharpness have been worn out.

He wants to defeat the bandits of Tempest Zhai head-on, and he also wants to restore the confidence of his soldiers and generals and reinvigorate them.

If the Wind Village led troops to attack, Gongsun Xu would not be worried, it was nothing more than to change the aiming direction of the trebuchet, so that the trebuchet would first focus on the wind thieves who rushed out, and then consider attacking the Wind Village.

In this case, it is nothing more than that there will be some casualties among his men, and they will not reach the zero casualties that he wants to achieve the most.

The main purpose of his cavalry on both sides was to guard the deserters on the side of the Tempest, so that the deserters had nowhere to escape.

As long as the bandits of Tempest Village are defeated, these cavalry will be the main force to chase and kill.

Gongsun Xu's arrangement made the generals who had recently joined their team confused, and they were even more puzzled.

Gongsun Xu got so many trebuchets along the way, but they never figured out what the trebuchet was for, let alone how Gongsun Xu would get those things made of wooden shelves to the front of the battlefield like treasures.

They thought depressedly in their hearts, didn't Gongsun Xu know that the existence of such a huge wooden frame would have an obstructive effect on the march or the war?

Based on the principle of secrecy and the idea of suppressing his subordinates at once, Gongsun continued not to tell the generals about the role of the trebuchet, but planned to tell them after the trebuchet had shown its miraculous effect.

Gongsun Xu used many means to promote and shock his subordinates in real estate in later generations, and this is just one of the small means.

Some of the things in the early stage have to be kept secret, there is a sense of mystery, and when the true face is revealed, it will surprise his subordinates, and it will be exciting for his methods.

This can not only effectively improve his status in the hearts of his subordinates, but also make his subordinates return to their hearts and not have the idea of rebellion.

Even Gongsun Xu had seen the sluggish and exaggerated expressions of his newly surrendered generals when those trebuchets rained down on Tempestine Village......

When Gongsun Xu visually measured that the trebuchet had reached the range of the attack, he immediately ordered the soldiers in charge of the trebuchet to reload the stone shells and prepare for the next round of attacks.

Yin Xiangjie, who was waiting for the battle, suddenly stopped after he saw Gongsun Xu's troops advance to a distance of one hundred and forty or fifty steps, and an extremely strange sense of irritability rose in his heart.

He always felt that things were out of his prediction, and Gongsun Xu should have something he hadn't thought of.

When dozens of trebuchets lined up to reveal their hideous faces and began to bomb the Hurricane Village, Yin Xiangjie finally understood what the uneasiness in his heart was.

Oh, my God! What do I see?!!!

That's a stone! How can you fly so high, how can you fly so far?

In the panic of the bandits of Tempest Village, the boulders in the more than 30 trebuchets began to fall like rain towards the gate of Tempest Village and several high points.

Bang! Bang! The boulders kept falling into the big village of the wind village, the lookout tower of the big village, the corner tower of the archers of the big village, and they were instantly knocked down by the boulders that fell from the sky.

In the first wave of the gate of the cottage, because there were not many boulders attacking the positive, the gate of the cottage did not completely collapse, but after the second round of boulder attacks, the gate of the cottage finally fell overwhelmed.

Black art.

Those Han soldiers knew sorcery.

Damn! Run! If you don't run, you'll die.

After the soldiers of Tempest Village experienced the first wave of boulder attacks, their hearts had already collapsed.

They were frightened by the powerful attack power of the trebuchet.

They couldn't imagine how such a large stone could attack the cottage so often from the positions of the Han soldiers.

They couldn't imagine that the brothers who were still alive and kicking around them before were smashed into meat pies in an instant, and the brothers who were not directly hit by the boulder were even worse, and even some soldiers disappeared in an instant.

Whether it was the watchtower or the corner tower where the archers were, they felt despair in the process of collapse, especially the collapse of the huge wooden gate and wall of the Tempest Cottage, which swallowed up hundreds of lives almost instantly.

The unknown is terrifying, and the scene that instantly becomes the hell of Shura crushes the last straw in their hearts.

In the hearts of these bandits in Tempest Village, the army formed by Gongsun Xu is no longer an ordinary Han army unit, but a force that can use demon magic, and they cannot defeat it no matter what.

Yin Xiangjie's eyes were dead, he didn't expect that the cottage he was proud of would become a ruin in an instant, and he couldn't even think of how those Han soldiers did it.

Looking at the thieves who were crying wolves and fleeing in all directions, Yin Xiangjie's heart was shaken.

As long as the Han army on the opposite side has maintained such a rhythm of attack, he is afraid that all the people and horses in his entire cottage will die, and such a scene is what he does not want to see.

He came here to set up the Tempest Cottage because he was persecuted, and he couldn't let go of his old subordinates and old brothers, and he had to let his subordinates have a place to live.

At this time, although Yin Xiangjie knew in his heart that if he insisted on going his own way and breaking the net with the Han soldiers on the opposite side, he and his brothers rushed out, even if they did not kill most of the soldiers of the Han army, they would cause the Han army on the opposite side to suffer a heavy setback.

Is it a war?

Or surrender without a fight?
