Looking at the dense and fierce Yuan soldiers under the city wall, some of the Lixian soldiers on the city wall held their breath and did not move at all, waiting for Ye Hao to give another order.

"Catapults are ready, all of them are loaded with large stones, and the siege vehicles under the target city wall are ready!" Ye Hao gave an order.

The Lixian soldiers all began to move, a few soldiers adjusted the direction of the catapult, a few soldiers pressed down the catapult table with a winch, and a few soldiers put the huge stone on the catapult frame together, and the last six or seven soldiers also prepared the huge wooden hammer in their hands.

Catapult is a large-scale manpower long-range weapon that uses the principle of lever to throw stone projectiles, and its appearance is the progress of technology and the need of war. The cannon of the Chinese chess black side is written as "cannon", which is a catapult, and the cannon on the side of the word fire, which mostly refers to cannon branding in ancient texts. It has been used in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has become an important weapon for attacking and defending cities after the Sui and Tang dynasties. Now the catapults at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty are simple, far less sophisticated than the improved catapults in the later period.

The structure of the catapult of this period was very simple, a huge lever, the long end was a stone loaded with a holster or a wooden basket, and the short end was tied to dozens of ropes, and when the order was given, dozens of people pulled the ropes at the same time. And the catapult guarding Lixian was also improved by Ye Hao with a group of craftsmen a few days ago. The range is much longer and a little more sophisticated than it was at the same time.

The catapult in Lixian was fired by hitting the other end of the lever with the tremendous force of the soldiers. It eliminates the need to pull with ropes, increasing the hit rate and impact force by at least 30%.

Seeing that those Yuan troops had approached the city wall for more than 300 steps, they had entered the range of more than a dozen catapults on the city tower. Ye Hao waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Begin, smash it hard for me!" ”

Several officers on the city tower listened to the order and immediately gave a loud order to the soldiers around them: "Release!" ”

More than a dozen catapults worked together, and dozens of rocks roared away from the sky.

"Ahh Whew~~~" The stone rubbed against the air and made a whistling sound.

"Boom!" The catapults on the castle tower fell one after another.

Huge stones as big as a millstone. Thrown far away, smashed on the siege vehicles. At one time, seven or eight siege vehicles were smashed, causing them to shatter one after another, and the wood was scattered. The soldiers of the Yuan family next to the siege vehicle were immediately stoned to death.

The huge stones not only smashed the siege vehicles into waste wood, but also flattened the surrounding Yuan soldiers and smashed them into the air. Crushed over them. Splashes of blood and broken wood were everywhere. The whole boulder was stained red with blood. It also burst out of the distance, making the ground under the city walls all covered in blood. Yuan Bing's screams continued to come out one after another, like a ghost crying wolf.

"Hit! Well done! Ye Hao praised loudly.

The soldiers of Li County cheered. There was no need for Ye Hao to command it personally, and the soldiers of Lixian County adjusted the direction of the catapult one after another and put the stone again.

"Whoosh!"

Countless huge rocks fell from the sky, smashing Yuan Bing and the siege vehicle into meat cakes, and Yuan Bing panicked.

Some of the huge panshi also smashed down three or five Yuan soldiers together, and half of their bodies were pressed under the panshi. Loud screams.

"Panic what! The archers continued to cover, and the ladders and siege engines all pressed on me. Yuan Tan's face was gloomy and he shouted. An order was given to Yuan Jun in front.

The soldiers of the Yuan army followed the order, and a thousand archers threw a rain of arrows at the soldiers on the city wall. A large number of Yuan soldiers pushed up ladders and siege engines and launched an even more fierce charge. Under the takeover of several generals, Yuan Bing's next siege method was also temporarily adjusted. Yuan Bing's sword and shield men rushed forward, and raised one shield after another to protect the infantry behind him and the remaining siege vehicles.

I saw the neat phalanx of shields. Slowly moving forward. The shields are combined to resemble a large shield. Block the feather arrows shot by Lixian one by one. Some Yuan soldiers couldn't stop it, so that the shield was knocked away. In the slightest gap, many soldiers were killed by a rain of arrows on the city walls.

At this moment, under the castle tower. Ye Hao was a lot more relieved. After Lu Ying's personal supervision, the soldiers of Lixian County used large blocks of stones to tighten the city gate. The other hundreds of soldiers were killed with the top of the beam.

But on the city wall, round after round of arrow rain seemed to never stop, like rolling angry waves, rolling and sweeping down. In the rain of arrows, countless Yuan soldiers didn't have time to snort for a while, and quietly fell under the city wall of Lixian County. Dye the whole earth red. Under the city wall, there were mountains of corpses several meters in size, which were tragic and abnormal.

Even so, it couldn't stop Yuan Bing's progress. They let out beastly roars, trampled corpses, and brandished weapons. Holding the ladder high. Continue to move forward bravely and kill towards the city wall of Lixian.

"Boom!" The ground on the entire city wall was rumbling and trembling, but it was the Yuan soldiers under the city wall who were fiercely attacking the city. But when he saw a siege vehicle, hundreds of Yuan soldiers rushed forward at the same time. Even if the city walls were all made of boulders and were extremely strong, they would not be able to withstand such a long-lasting brute attack by the Yuan army.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Just for a moment.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen ladders on the city wall. Yuan Bing braved the rain of arrows, carried a shield, stepped on a ladder, and climbed up quickly. Now many Yuan soldiers have climbed the city wall.

Sun Kang led the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion to fight on the city tower.

Ye Hao held a plum blossom gun in his hand and constantly provoked and killed Yuan soldiers who rushed to the city wall. His whole body was stained red with blood, but when he saw that he picked the neck of a Yuan soldier, a column of blood spurted out, and he was splashed with blood.

"The soldiers of Lixian, what are you waiting for, use rolling stones and sassal wood, and smash me hard at the enemy's head!"

Ye Hao shouted, and the soldiers of Lixian County who were guarding the city raised large stones, and threw them down with Hengmu towards Yuan Bing, who had climbed up from the ladder below.

I only heard the whistling sound, and huge heavy objects were thrown down from the city wall, hitting Yuan Bing who was climbing. The shield of Yuan Bing who was smashed was shattered into several pieces, and countless Yuan soldiers wailed everywhere. When a large number of Yuan soldiers were climbing the clouds, they were splashed with blood by the stones that were thrown down. Immediately, there was a scream, and he fell off the wall.

When he fell to the ground, he was hit again by a stone that fell from a high altitude and shattered into countless pieces of flesh. But Yuan Bing still climbed to this ladder one after another. For those dead Yuan Bing companions, there was no time to scruple at all.

These Yuan weapons are holding a shield in his left hand and a war knife in his right hand.

"Kill!" At the battlements of the city wall, one by one Lixian soldiers held their spears flat, penetrating Yuan Bing's chest deeply. Fall off the wall.

Ye Hao stood on the city wall, and the plum blossom gun in his hand stretched out and pierced Yuan Bing's throat, and the tip of the spear came out through his throat. He didn't even scream, his body shook and he fell off the wall.

Ye Hao used his strength, burst into cheers, and knocked down three ladders with a plum blossom gun. Let many climbing Yuan Bing even fall down from the air more than ten meters high with the cloud ladder that he cried. Rumble fell to the ground, bleeding to death. Despite this, Yuan Bing immediately re-loaded the other ladder onto the city wall. (To be continued......)
