The roaring rocks were able to smash the attacking Yuan soldiers every time. But the rate of fire of the catapult, the speed at which the rocks and logs fall, are still too slow.

Ye Hao's expression was serious, and he nodded at Sun Kang beside him.

"Repeater Shooter Ready!" Sun Kang burst into tears, sonorously, drew his sword, raised it above his head, and his eyes were unwavering.

The forty "special crossbowmen" archers hidden in several city towers in Li County listened to the order, and under the protection of the shields raised by the sword and shield men of the Tiger Battalion, they all removed the cloth cover that covered the crossbow machine, adjusted the direction of the crossbow machine with brushes, and aimed at the Yuan soldiers climbing on the ladder.

Suddenly, the eight crossbow machines had been pulled to perfection.

"Shoot the arrows!" Sun Kang shouted. Swing your sword forward. Suddenly, the sound of bows and crossbows rang out. Arrows rained down. The continuous rain of arrows was like a machine gun and swept towards the Yuan soldiers who were attacking intensively.

The screams and wails immediately rang out. Pieces of Yuan soldiers fell in pools of blood and died instantly.

This kind of repeater crossbow machine crossbow machine was designed by Ye Hao with reference to the crossbow car and crossbow machine in the later period, and then Lu Ying, who was good at Mojia machine skills, improved the crossbow and waist crossbow in this era, and developed it in the form of a ballista that can be rotated. That is, the machine cannon that fires bows and arrows. It cost 20,000 gold to build eight, which can be described as more expensive than gold.

It was six feet long, operated by two people, and more agile than a trebuchet, capable of one person shooting arrows while the other person rotated the frame. This is a twenty-arrow repeater, which is very powerful, but because it is complicated to produce. The arrows used also had to be specially made, so they were mass-produced, capable of firing a salvo of twenty feathered arrows.

There are wheels at the bottom end, which can be convenient for field combat. The main thing is to defend cities and camps. It's a pity that its firepower is very strong, but its size and weight are too large to be used by individual soldiers.

This 'repeater' is more than twice as powerful as the heavy crossbow equipped by the heavy crossbowmen who are the first to die. It can not only restrain ordinary infantry and light cavalry, but also restrain heavy armor soldiers.

Incidentally, Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Righteousness" was once restrained by the first deceased. However, Zhang He's "Euphorbia", who was pinned on by Yuan Shao, had no power to fight back when he faced the two thousand white horse cavalry defeated by Lu Yi. The last is the "first to die first" brought by Lu Yi. used a thousand "strong crossbows" to shoot down Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants who crisscrossed the north. Koji Yi Xianden - the nemesis of the light cavalry.

If Ye Hao assembles a heavy crossbowman, equipped with a large shield and a 'repeater crossbow machine'. As long as they are well-trained, it will not be a problem to defeat the four elite troops of the Three Kingdoms period, including the light cavalry "White Horse Yicong" who was restrained by heavy crossbowmen. Heavy infantry "Euphorbia". Elite cavalry "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". Heavy cavalry "Xiliang Iron Cavalry".

The heavy crossbowmen of this new situation can compare with the first to climb the first of the Koji Yi. It can also compete with traps equipped with spears, large square blunts, crossbows, and other standing weapons! There are advantages and disadvantages, and it will be restrained by the special forces light crossbowmen in the mountains.

Because the Wudang Flying Army stands out for its speed and agility. It has a great advantage in mountain combat, but if it is fought in the plains. will be reversed. However, the current Zhuge Liang is still a little cute baby, this kind of army has not yet been born, and the special forces of the Tiger Battalion, which is similar to the Wudang Flying Army, were trained by Ye Hao in an epoch-making advance!

As long as this kind of heavy crossbow corps can be successfully trained, it can almost be said to be an invincible existence!

The current situation, but seeing that the power of the 'repeater repeater' is like a burst of bullets.

Although the range of crossbow arrows is not as good as that of bows and arrows, they are much more powerful than bows and arrows, and their penetrating power is extremely strong. After seeing a row of crossbow arrows go down, the heads of Yuan Bing around the siege vehicle immediately bloomed. Like harvesting wheat, the Yuan soldiers around the siege vehicle were constantly cleared.

It's a bit of a pity that due to the time it takes to load the arrows of the crossbow, the last time can only take advantage of the gap of loading the arrows. Make up for this deficiency with the feathered arrows shot by the archers of Beli County!

I saw Ye Hao standing in the middle of the city wall, with a row of swords and shields in front of him holding huge shields to cover his body, and he looked at the changes in the battle situation with cold eyes.

The Lixian soldiers took advantage of the power of the repeater crossbow machine to push the ladders one by one. The surviving Yuan Bing also fell backwards in a daze, like dumplings. Dead and wounded in pieces.

"Ye Gongzi, all the boiling oil you want me to prepare is burned!" Yue Ruoyu, dressed in military uniform, suddenly appeared beside Ye Hao.

Ye Hao had just ordered her to urge the civilians in the city to be responsible for burning the grease. This boiling oil is a very important material for defending the city, and it is also very deadly, Ye Hao has never forgotten it.

I saw a pot of boiling oil boiled in a pot under the escort of the soldiers of Lixian County, and it was safely served to the city wall by civilians. Placed on the tower, on the arrow tower, and on some temporary stands. Squeaky squeak with grease splashing.

"Okay, aim it at me, splash it all!" Ye Hao drank the order.

The Yuan soldiers who attacked were too dense, and six or seven people would be hit by a scoop of boiling oil. There was also Yuan Bing on the ladder frame, who was splashed down like a face by the boiling oil scooped out of the iron pot by the soldiers of Lixian County, and immediately let out a miserable scream, and Yuan Bing covered his burnt face one by one and rolled down the ladder. Roll on the ground.

The smell of human flesh is just disgusting.

I don't know if that's it. The soldiers of Lixian also dipped the prepared torches in boiling oil and lit them, and then threw them down the city wall.

The boiling oil on Yuan Bing's body was ignited at once, and he immediately ran around wailing, trying to extinguish the flames on his body. In a moment, the city walls were full of burning Yuan soldiers, who were either scalded to death or burned to death. The smell of meat wafted in the air, which was a great blow to Yuan Jun's morale.

Under the city tower, the blood of Yuan Bing was sprinkled all over the city, and the battle was very fierce.

Under the scorching sun, the thick smell of blood filled the air, making people vomit.

One by one, Yuan soldiers rushed up the city wall and fell down, and the corpses under the city wall continued to increase. The corpses were piled up into hills, and the blood and water gathered into pools. Countless Yuan soldiers were wailing in pain, looking at their companions with pitiful expressions, hoping to be redeemed by them.

In this battle to defend the city, from the morning to the evening, the soldiers of Lixian County repelled more than ten charges of Yuan's soldiers.

According to a rough estimate, the 13,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuan army lost nearly 5,000 in today's siege alone.

"Grand Prince, let's retreat, such casualties are too great!" Not far from the battle line, Wen Chou, who was holding a spear in his hand, stood in front of Yuan Tan and asked for instructions.

Yuan Tan's eyes were as red as blood, and he was angry. He is not too mediocre, and if he attacks like this, he will only increase casualties. I want to retreat, but I am not reconciled.

After thinking about it again and again, Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and roared fiercely: "No! Now that we have reached the current situation, if we retreat now, the children of my Yuan family will be sacrificed in vain! Command the three armies, press all the remaining soldiers to the front line, be sure to take one breath, and take Lixian today! ”

Wen Chou raised the three-pronged spear of Su Tie in his hand and shouted at Yuan Bing behind him: "The whole army is attacking!" General Ben, I personally lead the army to attack the city! ”

Zhu Ling shouted: "General Wen, I also wish you a helping hand!" ”

Yuan Tan looked at Wen Chou and Zhu Ling leading the front to charge, and waved his hand to order: "Drum and cheer!" Charge the whole army" (to be continued......)
