Chapter 122: Knocking (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After a whole day, the second BO offensive of the Liang army finally began.
"Hey, hey, hey, ......hey,
Around these huge siege machines, the ant-like Liang soldiers were crowded.
Liu Kou was wearing heavy armor, his expression was cold, and he stood proudly on one of the wells, which was a little higher than the other forty or so wells, but the lookout at the top was only one layer, and it could only accommodate a dozen people.
Hundreds of steps ahead, the Tiger Prison Pass is no more than a four-foot high wall, and it is already necessary to look down.
The general Chu Chun knocked lightly on the guardrail of the lookout, and Liu Kou said: "General, this attack, the Tiger Prison Pass will be down!" β
Liu Kou shook his head silently, he didn't dare to be as optimistic as Chu Chun, even though his army had more than 200 catapults, more than 40 wells and more than 50 ladders, but the Liang army was facing the Chu army this time, it was the Chu army that killed Liu Bang's hundreds of thousands of troops and did not dare to stay in the Dabie Mountains, the tragedy of this battle will definitely be beyond imagination!
"Hi ho, ho, hi ho, ho, ho...".
"Hi ho, ho, hi ho, ho, ho...".
"Hi ho, ho, hi ho, ho, ho...".
In the loud and extremely rhythmic sound of the trumpet, tens of thousands of Liang troops with hundreds of heavy siege equipment slowly approached the Tiger Pass, when there were only less than 100 steps away from the Tiger Pass, Liu Kou's right hand was quietly raised, and in an instant, all the heavy siege equipment stopped at the same time.
The sound of the trumpet, which had resounded in the sky, stopped abruptly in an instant, and the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
In the suffocating silence, Liu Kou's raised right hand suddenly pressed towards the front and then gave the order to attack with an indifferent expression: "Catapult, start attacking." β
Straw Chun behind Liu Kou immediately walked to the guardrail, raised a pennant and waved it vigorously twice.
Suddenly, the sound of horns and the high-pitched war drums sounded in the Liang army's formation.
With the sound of trumpets and war drums, a group of Liang Junrui soldiers began to get busy, hundreds of light soldiers put pieces of boulders into the large hanging basket of the catapult, and tens of thousands of healthy soldiers on their backs were divided into more than two hundred teams, each team of fifty people, under the command of their respective teams, began to work hard to pull dozens of ropes connected to the trebuchet's throwing arm.
With the erection of the throwing arm, the hanging basket tied to the far end of the throwing arm with iron cable was also thrown high into the air......
The tiger prison is closed.
When a huge black shadow appeared in the sky ahead, the recruit egg on the wall finally moved.
"Oh my God, what is that? Damn, what the hell is that? β
"Such a big thing, and throwing it so far, to say the least, there are more than a hundred steps, it is estimated that it is reed grass, right?"
"Bird, that's a stone, you can fucking see it clearly, it's all stone, find a place to hide" ,..."
However, the recruits' chaos was immediately reprimanded by veterans and colonels at all levels, although the catapult has a huge ability, but the accuracy is worse than the chuΓ‘ng crossbow, even if hundreds of catapults are bombarded intensively, there are still not many stone bullets that can really fall to the head of the city, but the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass will be brutally tested.
"If you don't want to die, just let the old man stay where he is!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, the stone won't fall on your heads!"
"Bunnies, tell you, don't run around, the more you run, the faster you die!"
Under the scolding of veterans and junior colonels at all levels, the recruits' rebellion finally subsided.
In the next moment, hundreds of boulders had already smashed down viciously from the sky with a piercing scream, and sure enough, as those veterans and the junior colonel said, most of the stones fell over the city wall and fell into the pass, or indirectly smashed into the huge section of the front of the city wall, and there were very few stones that fell indirectly on the wall.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, hundreds of boulders had already smashed on the surface of the city wall.
Suddenly, the bricks on the surface of the city wall were smashed and shattered, and the rammed earth inside was also smashed straight down, and when the smoke and dust dissipated, hundreds of large pits had been left on the originally flat city wall, and the battlements on the city head were also smashed in two places, and the two recruits could not dodge and were smashed into a pulp.
The bombardment of the Liang army's catapults lasted for half an hour, and more than 200 catapults threw at least 2,000 boulders at the Tiger Prison Pass, of which at least more than 1,000 fell on the front of the wall, and the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass collapsed to the point of devastation, and it was miserable, but only a few stones fell on the wall and the soldiers who were indirectly killed by the stones were less than 50 people.
However, the enemy tower that closed was smashed down, and more than 100 archers guarding the enemy tower were indirectly buried alive.
Half an hour later, the bombardment of the Liang army's catapult stopped, and Liu Kou, the general of the Liang army, also knew very well that it was impossible to indirectly smash the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass with the catapult.
Similar to the dense accumulation of archers, the strikes of catapults can only form a truly lethal damage under certain conditions, but in the vast majority of cases, these two methods are only used to deter the enemy army and destroy the morale of the enemy army.
On the high well wall, Liu Kou raised his right hand again, pressed forward again, and said lightly: "Order, the ladder, the well wall, and the siege vehicle will go up together and attack the city!" β
Liu Kou is also simply, since King Liang insists on attacking the city, then go all out.
"No!" Chu Chun agreed with a bang, and then raised several flags successively and waved them hard.
Suddenly, a mountain of shouts sounded in the Liang army's array, and thousands of Liang army soldiers swarmed up, pulling and dragging them, driving towering ladders, wells, and heavy siege vehicles, slowly crushing towards the devastated Tiger Prison Pass.
"Is the end of the game about to begin?!"
Jing Qian couldn't help but turn around and glance at Pang Yu.
From Pang Yu's eyes, Jing Qian saw the same solemnity, Liang Jun actually dispatched all the ladders and all the wells! As for the huge and cumbersome siege vehicles, they were nothing compared to the threats of the ladders and wells, because the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass had already been built with bricks.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
In the tsunami-like trumpet sound of Liang Junshan, the distance between the two armies quickly approached.
Suddenly, the towering ladder and the well were already less than fifty steps away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the defenders were so close that they could already see the hideous expressions of the archers of the Liang army on the opposite side.
Kankan crossed a distance of fifty paces when the Liang archers on the well suddenly attacked.
In an instant, a rain of arrows shot down from more than 40 wells, pouring all over the heads of the defenders of Guanshang, the veterans of the Chu army were domineering, and they took the lead in occupying a small dead corner next to the battlement, and the two thousand heavy armored infantry could barely support it with heavy armor and big shields, but the remaining more than 7,000 light soldiers could only wait to be slaughtered.
The Liang archers condescended to shoot at close range, forming a great threat to the defenders of the pass.
In less than an instant, at least four or five hundred people fell in a pool of blood with arrows, and the nerves of nearly 10,000 recruits were undergoing a cruel test, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Jing Qian had no doubt that if this situation continued for another quarter of an hour, these recruits would definitely collapse completely, turn around and run away, and at that time, the Tiger Prison would be completely over!
Although Jing Qian's 500 light soldiers were very brave, how could 500 people hold the Tiger Prison Pass?
Suddenly, Jing Qian, who was hiding behind the battlement, had raised his right hand, but soon, the other big hand held Jing Qian's big hand again, Pang Yu hunched his back, dodging the rain of arrows shot from the well in front of him, and persuaded loudly: "General, it's not time yet, wait, wait!" β
Jing Qian gritted his teeth, and finally retracted his raised right hand", and on the high well, dense arrows poured down like a torrential rain.
More than 7,000 recruits were running back and forth, shouting and screaming, and from time to time recruits were shot in the abdomen or arm by arrows, and then fell into a pool of blood screaming.
Under the Tiger Prison, the sound of the trumpets of the Liang army's light soldiers continued.
With the sound of trumpets rising wave after wave, more than forty wells continued to move forward, and finally entered within twenty steps!
The next moment, more than 40 well ladders finally stopped, but more than 20 cloud ladders continued to move forward, trying to pass through the gaps between the well barriers, preparing for the final seizure of the city.
A hundred steps away, Liu Kou slapped down the guardrail of the lookout.
As long as these more than 20 ladders are leaning against the wall, the tiger prison will be broken!
But at this time, the mutation was abrupt, and hundreds of spears suddenly shot out from the back of the Tiger Prison Pass, and almost all of these hundreds of spears hit the well twenty steps away, and at the tail of those hundreds of spears, there was a hemp rope tied to it, and the other end of the hemp rope Huo Ran also stretched out to the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass.
The next moment, the defenders of the gate suddenly attacked, divided into hundreds of teams and tried to pull the hemp rope to the side.
Suddenly, more than forty towering wells began to tilt, and with the roar of the defenders on the shut, the angle of inclination of the wells was becoming larger and larger, and it looked like it was about to get the center of gravity to turn over! At this time, more than 20 ladders just entered the gap between the wells and ......!.
