Chapter 414: Another Elephant

Under the cover of wooden donkeys, the god arm battalion, archers and siege infantry soldiers have accelerated their march, and crossbow ballistas also fired tread arrows at the city wall, nailing thick arrow clusters into the depths of the stone wall.

Although the climbing of the city has not yet begun, there are already defenders who have lifted the rolling stone and threw it at the city, trying to break the arrow shaft, and at this time, the Divine Arm Battalion immediately shot a short arrow, and in the scream of ahhhh

The shaft of the arrow that was just nailed was broken, but it doesn't matter, it can be fired again.

As the distance got closer and closer, "Buzz~~" hundreds of black dots were suddenly thrown out of the city, although they couldn't hit the god arm battalion, but a considerable part of them hit the wooden donkeys and archers who were still moving, and immediately several wooden donkeys fell apart on the spot, and some soldiers unfortunately died!

Listening to the screams from the city, Fan Xuda suddenly felt comfortable, in fact, he also understood that many people could not be killed by stone bullets alone, but they were always dead, right?

"Damn, I even learned from Lao Tzu to ambush the trebuchet!" Wei Feng under the city scolded angrily and shouted: "Order, adjust the ballista scale, and hit the stone bullet behind the city wall!" ”

Soon, the ballista gunners have increased the scale, a burst of stone bullets over the city wall to the back of the city wall, suddenly, the casualties of the people in Linyi suddenly increased, the characteristics of the trebuchet is that the firing speed is slow, the second is the operator manpower, the stone bullet hits the crowd, often does not kill only one, a considerable part of it bounces up after landing. You can smash several people to death in a row!

Listening to the screams coming from behind him, Fan Xuda just had a little happiness and immediately disappeared, except for learning Wei Feng to scold the damn, but there was nothing he could do!

After several rounds of stone bullets, the archers entered the designated position one after another, nearly a hundred wooden donkeys stopped in a fan shape, and the sergeants hiding below quickly held up huge shields to guard in front of the archers, and the archers opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the defenders of the city!

The Lin Yi army is mostly with rattan armor, and the principle of rattan armor blocking arrows is to rely on the small gap between the rattan to jam the arrows on the one hand, and on the other hand. It relies on the toughness of the rattan soaked in oil to resist arrows. Therefore, the archers shoot rockets at the spur!

Suddenly, the city seemed to be ignited, and black smoke billowed out. You can smell a burnt smell even from far below the city!

Fan Xuda hurriedly shouted: "Take off the rattan armor quickly." Hurry up. Damn it, it's damn weather! ”

For the people of Linyi, it is indeed a disadvantage to be attacked during the dry season. The best time for the rattan armor to play its best effect is in the rainy season, especially in the heavy rain weather, the Jin army fights in the heavy rain, because the bow and arrow can not play a role, the attack power must be reduced by at least half, and the rattan armor of the Linyi people is soaked in water, the toughness will become stronger, so the Linyi Kou Jiuzhen and Jiude are all carried out in the rainy season.

But the enemy is coming in the dry season, what can Fan Xuda do?

The soldiers of Linyi, who were not hit by rockets at the head of the city, took off their rattan armor as quickly as possible, including the soldiers who rushed to reinforce them, and they did not dare to wear armor, so they could only fight naked, but the people of Linyi were fierce by nature, and they knew that the Jin army would never let them go after the city was broken, so they forcibly shot arrows at the city regardless of the rain of arrows in the sky!

Although the Lin Yi army also throws, most of them are blocked by the Jin army's wooden donkeys and giant shields, and some people even shoot with a heart probe, but they only have the opportunity to send an arrow, as long as the body appears, they will be killed by the divine arm battalion that is responsible for suppressing firepower, and even some people can be hit by dozens of arrows.

However, their arrows are condescending and numerous, and a considerable number of them can pass through wooden donkeys and giant shields, posing a certain threat to archers.

But on the whole, the Jin army's firepower suppression was quite effective, with ballistas, divine arm crossbows, and bows and arrows from back to front, with clear layers, forcing the Lin Yi army to pay a heavy price every time they fought back!

Julia's face was full of shock, today's battle made her have a deeper understanding of the arrows of the Serisians, and couldn't help but praise: "Envoy, thank you, Julia has learned a lot from you, we Romans attacked the city, only used ballistae as cover, and then used the city cone and siege engine to break the city, so we always have to pay a lot of casualties, but today Julia understands, it turns out that the siege can be like this, bows and arrows are indeed much better than javelins." ”

Wei Feng's heart didn't have any joy, his heart was dripping blood! This time the attack on Linyi was well prepared in advance, not only with enough food and grass, but also with arrows, including those brought by Shanyin, built on the spot in Panyu, and captured in the dock fort, as well as the eight-inch iron arrows used in the divine arm crossbow, there were 10 million pieces!

10 million arrows sounds like a lot, but Wei Feng has an army of 40,000, and archery in his army is a basic skill, no matter whether he shoots accurately or not, at least he must be able to shoot, and if he spreads it evenly, each person can get 250 arrows!

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, the standard configuration of a Tang army foot soldier does not count grain and grass, camp tents, ropes, pots and other auxiliary items, a total of eight horses, horizontal knives, spears, bows and arrows, armor for every ten people, 200 arrows per capita, and crossbows for the strong, which means that Wei Feng's expedition to drain his family is only equivalent to an ordinary battle of the Tang army, and it also means that Wei Feng only has the power of one blow.

Wei Feng shook his head, and did not answer, but cast his eyes forward, at this time, the siege infantry had already rushed to the city, and climbed to the top of the city, the city wall was dense, like ants, more than 20 ladders also approached the city, and the archers carrying them shot arrows one after another, and the rushing car was about fifty or sixty steps away because of its most bulky size.

The defenders also seem to realize that the most critical moment has come, although the dense and uninterrupted crossbow arrows under the city pose a major threat to their lives, they have to probe, throw the rolling stones, sassal wood, and dump the oil pot, they are much more fierce than the defenders of the dock fort, obviously hit the arrow, can still hold on with a mouthful of blood, but after the rolling stones, sassalwood, including the boiling oil out of their hands, they were immediately killed by the arrow, and for a while, the corpses fell like dumplings, among which there were also Jin army soldiers, shouting to kill, The screams were intertwined, and the scene was extremely tragic!

"Stop! Stop! The commander of the crossbow unanimously ordered to stop shooting, and it turned out that the soldiers had already climbed the city with their arrows, and the ladder was about to reach the city wall, and the soldiers were ready to climb over.

The siege has completely entered the white-hot stage!

Wei Feng is paying attention to the city, he can roughly distinguish the casualties of the enemy and us through the screams, in general, although the Jin army is temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but the majority of the dead are still Linyi people, they are hand-to-hand combat disorderly, relying on a group of bravery, and the brave of the Japanese at that time is far better than the Linyi people today, was not also killed by Qi Jiguang? The Mandarin Duck Array is the nemesis of all the rabble in the world!

As more and more warriors climbed to the top of the city, it was only a matter of time before the city walls were captured, and then as soon as the city gate was broken and the cavalry rushed in, the forest was almost finished.

"Ah~~" Suddenly a crisp scream attracted Wei Feng's attention, and he couldn't help but look at the sound, a naked woman with her upper body fell straight from the city, her skin was black and yellow, and the two dots of milk on the cloth bag were pitch black, black like a black mole, and there was a blood hole in the lower abdomen, and the blood was sprinkled with the corpse to the city, obviously stabbed to death by a shot!

Wei Feng's heart was inexplicably uneasy, but he couldn't say it in a short time, but Julia didn't look away even if she fell to the ground because Wei Feng had been staring at the female corpse, so she asked, "Envoy, could it be that you have compassion?" ”

'Compassion? Wei Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he understood where his uneasiness came from, when the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, there were also a considerable number of female soldiers in the Vietnamese army, who were not afraid of death, better than men, and the local ordinary monkeys were also fully mobilized and spontaneously participated in the battle against the People's Liberation Army, which shows that the ferocity of the local natives is likely to break the city and may not fall, and will use the streets and alleys to fight street battles inch by inch!

Wei Feng hurriedly called: "Order, please tell General Deng and General Xian that the people of Linyi have the possibility of fighting in the streets, do not easily enter the streets and alleys after breaking the city, stick to the city gate and city, and cooperate with the general to clear the people of Linyi!" ”

"Yes!" The two guards galloped away.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and the city gate was opened, which made the soldiers under the city stunned for a moment, and the car was still about ten steps away. But then, the complexion changed dramatically!

A row of elephants appeared in the doorway, their little squinting eyes flashed with a fierce light, and their big feet stepped on the ground, and the sand and gravel on the top of the doorway were falling!

"Oh! O my God! The people of Linyi are crazy! Julia couldn't help but scream, these elephants were uncontrolled, with a sharp knife stuck in their buttocks, obviously aroused by their ferocity, and if they were caught off guard, they would probably be caught off guard.

Sure enough, there was a little chaos in the area facing the city gate!

Wei Feng hurriedly shouted: "Everyone at the city gate dodges, aim at the elephant, and fire the ballista!" ”

The sergeants near the rushing car, the archers who took the cover of wooden donkeys and large shields, ran to both sides like Montahe, and it was terrible to face the behemoth with flesh and blood, and there was more than one elephant, judging from the situation in the doorway, there were twenty or thirty of them, all of them were elephants who had been stabbed in the buttocks and were aroused to be ferocious!

Because the car was closest to the elephant, it also blocked the way of the elephants, and was first surrounded by the elephants, and the nose arched with a kick, and it became a pile of rotten wood in a few clicks, and then the elephants rushed to the wooden donkey, which was made of raw cow skin, enough to withstand several attacks of rolling stone and wood, and the wooden donkey was trampled flat on the spot by the elephant!

"Bang bang bang!" After a loud noise, ten wooden donkeys were scrapped, and the elephants continued to rush forward with cheerful chirps! (To be continued......)
