Chapter 139: The Battlefield of Blood and Fire

"Long Xuan, you immediately lead people to make more trebuchets according to Tian Rong's request. Be quick! ”

Although it was a makeshift trebuchet, it was clear that the power and range were far beyond Hu Hai's expectations! Make more good things! Hu Hai turned back to Long Xuan and said!

"Whoa!"

Although the four boulders shot out of the city made Xiang Liang's army tremble for a while, more than 500 catapults were still approaching Chengwu City in an orderly manner!

A large number of soldiers carrying wooden shields and long ladders had already crossed the two trenches with the catapults, apparently using them to attack the city when the catapults were dropping stone projectiles!

Through the telescope, Hu Hai could clearly see that this wooden shield was actually made of several wooden boards! But even so, these humble wooden shields can greatly reduce the power of the Qin army's strong crossbows!

Xiang Liang is indeed too well prepared!

By the time Xiang Liang's more than 500 catapults crossed the fifth trench, the number of trebuchets in Chengwu City had increased to eighty! Behind the four walls, twenty on one side!

"Whew!"

A succession of foot-sized boulders flew out of the city with a whirring sound of breaking through the air, and flew towards the Xiangliang trebuchet that was still approaching!

A muffled sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and the Xiang Liang rebels who were surrounded by hundreds of trebuchets suddenly let out a burst of cheers! More than 80 stones thrown by more than 80 trebuchets did not hit any of the soldiers who hit Xiang Liang!

All the stones are not a little bit!

"Your Majesty, go down to the city!" Du Teng stepped forward and whispered in Hu Hai's ear!

After all, Xiang Liang's catapult was about to be in place immediately, and at that time, the city would inevitably face an overwhelming stone bomb attack, and Hu Hai didn't seem to be safe from anywhere to stay on the city wall!

Hu Hai didn't insist, this was the first battle, he stayed on the city wall at this time, not only could not play a role in motivating morale, but would let the soldiers on the city wall divide most of their energy to protect him, you must know that the stone bullet does not have long eyes, it is impossible not to smash him because he is the emperor!

What's more, if Xiang Liang saw him on this city wall, I was afraid that most of the stone bullets would come at him!

When Du Teng whispered to Hu Hai, dozens of boulders flew out of the city, whistling and smashing into the army of Xiangliang catapults that were less than six hundred steps away from the city wall!

There was a craftsman on the city wall who specially corrected the shooting point for Tian Rong, although Hu Hai didn't know how they determined the range and shooting point, but as long as he could hit it, he was not ready to build a career on the trebuchet!

This time the Xiang Liang rebels didn't have such good luck!

Sawdust flew sideways, and Chengwu City saw blood for the first time!

More than 80 boulders have at least 30 pieces hit the Xiangliang rebels, Hu Hai glanced at the more than 20 stone bullets on the south side of the city wall before Hu Hai went down, there were six or seven of them, and there were still a few stone bullets Although they did not fall directly on the head of the Xiangliang catapult army, the flying stone bullets rolled and plowed blood marks in the Xiangliang rebels who pushed the trebuchet forward!

In a wave of stone bullets, at least 30 catapults were smashed to pieces by the stones thrown from the city!

"General, please go and beat the drums of war yourself!" Zhang Liang didn't expect that there would be trebuchets in the city, and obviously the range and power were far greater than those used in his army!

Fortunately, there are still very few trebuchets of the Qin army in the city! It is impossible to destroy all the trebuchets!

The attack was originally intended to be launched after the trebuchet was in place, and it was obviously useless to postpone it any longer! Attract the Qin army to the city as soon as possible, so that after the trebuchet of his army is in place, he can directly cover the city and kill and injure a large number of soldiers of the Qin army defending the city!

Xiang Liang didn't say much, and strode towards the huge war drums in the Chinese army camp!

"Knock knock!"

The gentle sound of war drums suddenly became high-pitched! A wave is faster than a wave!

The more than 10,000 rebel soldiers who had been waiting in front of the camp heard the suddenly high-pitched war drums, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they began to cross the trench with shouts and rush towards Chengwu County!

In just more than 100 steps, the Xiangliang rebels pushing the catapult forward seemed to have gone through several reincarnations!

The catapults of the Qin army in the city seemed to have eyes, and they kept following the army of catapults of the rebels on all sides! A wave of stone bullets flying out one after another from Chengwu City, if the stone bullet just hit the catapult, it's okay, it won't jump around, if the stone bullet does not hit but falls to the ground, then there will be a blood mark in the formation immediately, at least dozens of soldiers died under the stone bullets rolling around!

Lie down if you rub it, and die if you touch it!

Fortunately, I finally survived these 100 or so steps!

Xiang Liang's catapult was destroyed by at least one-third of the catapults of the Qin army in the city during this hundred or so paces! The soldiers killed and wounded nearly 1,000 people! Along with the catapult, there were stump arms and broken limbs along the way, and craters scattered on the ground!

The soldiers of the Xiangliang rebels, who were lucky enough to escape, hurriedly set up the catapult, hurriedly put the stone bullets the size of human heads, and dozens of people shouted and threw the stone bullets away!

Hundreds of stone bullets the size of a human head roared towards the city wall of Chengwu County!

Although many stone bullets flew off the rails or did not fly to the city at all and fell weakly, the base number of catapults of the Xiangliang rebels was there, ten of the hundred catapults, and more than 300 stone bullets smashed on the city wall! What's more, more than 300 catapults were far more than 30 stone bullets smashed on the city wall, at least nearly 100 stone bullets flew on the city wall!

There was not a sound on the walls! Only stone projectiles smashed on the wall stacks and fragments of broken stones were flying!

Now there is no one on the Chengwu city wall!

Xiang Liang's army did not move, Hu Hai would naturally not be stupid enough to let the soldiers go to the city wall and wait stupidly for Xiang Liang's trebuchet to bombard! It was just a few dragon guards left at the highest city tower to monitor the movements of Xiang Liang's army!

The drums of war are getting more and more urgent!

The dense rebel soldiers in the large camp on all sides of the city wall quickly crossed the five trenches, held a big shield, and carried a long ladder, and rushed towards the county seat of Chengwu with a swarm of shouts!

Stone bullets are flying up and down the city wall! From time to time, the catapult of the Xiangliang rebels was hit by stone bullets flying from the city and turned into a cloud of ruins! A rebel soldier was knocked down by a flying stone bullet!

As the rebels rushed into the city's trebuchet range, the casualties skyrocketed!

The dense formation of the rebels is just right for the stone bullets to run rampant in the city! The stone bullets flying out of the city suddenly became indistinct! Even if the catapult didn't hit Xiang Liang, as long as it landed on the ground, it would immediately plow out a zigzag blood mark in the crowd!

Countless rebel soldiers were smashed and killed by the tumbling stone bullets!

"Woo woo"

A long trumpet sounded from the city walls!

Obviously, now Xiang Liang's army is less than five hundred steps away from the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city must go to the city wall to defend at this time!

One by one, the soldiers of the Qin army wearing black armor changed from cavalry to foot soldiers and appeared on the city wall!

After a long period of shooting, the accuracy of Xiang Liang's catapult army has also improved a lot, and another wave of bullets has rained down! Blood flowers bloomed one after another, and for the first time on the Chengwu city wall, the Qin army was killed and wounded!

Although Hu Hai had already spread several inches of mud and sand on the aisles of the city wall to prevent the stone bullets thrown by the Xiangliang catapult from running around, it was obviously impossible to pave the stacks of several feet on both sides of the city wall!

This time, the Qin army was killed and wounded, except for a few who were hit by stone bullets falling from the sky because they couldn't dodge, most of the rest were injured by stone bullets that rebounded on the wall battlements or stone bullets that shattered and shot stones!

The wounded soldiers who fell to the ground naturally came to the city for treatment! The uninjured soldiers of the Qin army stood tall like a mountain, ignoring the stone bullets flying above their heads, and stared closely at the Xiangliang rebel soldiers who were rushing up!

Four hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred and fifty steps!

A continuous bang rang out from the four city walls of Chengwu County!

"Buzz!"

A large number of crossbow arrows rushed straight to the Xiangliang rebels who were swarming under the city with a dazzling cold light!

Hearing the strange humming sound above the city, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers who rushed up from all sides raised their wooden shields in their hands to cover the top of their heads, and their footsteps did not stop at all, shouting and speeding up!

"Aggressive!"

The thick wooden shield blocked most of the crossbow arrows, and the damage to Xiang Liang's rebels was negligible!

Seeing that the crossbow arrows could not penetrate the wooden shields of the rebels, the Qin troops on the city wall all gave up and continued to attack with crossbow arrows, and waited solemnly!

Overhead, the catapult of the Xiang Liang rebels kept desperately throwing stone bullets the size of human heads, and from time to time Qin soldiers were hit by flying stone bullets! Even if there was a small shield to cover it, the stone bullet that fell with strong gravity instantly smashed the small shield and hit the Qin soldiers!

With the terrifying sound of bones shattering, a soldier of the Qin army fell to the ground weakly! Then there were soldiers who had been waiting at the passage of the city wall for a long time, and they stepped forward without pause to carry down the fallen Qin soldiers to the city for treatment!

The Qin army's sharp crossbow did not cause any damage to the rebel soldiers, which greatly boosted the morale of the rebel soldiers!

More than 200 steps in the blink of an eye!

The long ladder is finally erected on the head of Chengwu County!

At this time, the catapults of Xiang Liang's army finally stopped throwing stone bombs, but dropped the catapults one after another, shouting and rushing up!

One by one, the rebel soldiers holding large shields began to climb up desperately along the ladder set up on the city wall!

A pot of hot, pungent and foul-smelling gold juice poured down from above the city!

A terrible howl suddenly sounded under the city walls! A stench of roasted rotten flesh filled the air!

The rebel soldiers, who were climbing up the ladder, fell to the city with a howl of weakness and fell to the city with their hot and split faces! With a wave of gold juice, at least a thousand rebel soldiers were suddenly defeated under the city wall!

Rolling stones and sassals rained down, knocking the rebel soldiers to the ground who were desperately climbing up!

Every moment, countless rebel soldiers are killed!

The tranquil Chengwu became a battlefield of blood and fire in this instant!
