Chapter Seventy-Four: Filling the Moat

There was an unconcealed pride in Wang Man's words, Xie Daoyun nodded, and also put his pretty face on the lookout hole, and looked out.

Sun Enjun approached within fifty steps, pouring between the arrows and stones on the city, the archers squatted behind the battlements, and the arrows shot at the city as if they didn't want money, and the city head was small because of the small place, although the number of trebuchets placed was not much, Wei Feng let people pull most of the trebuchets in the city behind the city wall, although the enemy army could not be seen, the correction of the direction needed to be estimated according to the data reported above, it was quite troublesome, but the trebuchet was originally inaccurate, and it was already very good to have two or three shots out of ten, and the difference between aiming and not aiming was not big, In addition, Sun Enjun is too dense, so the lethality of hundreds of rounds at a time is quite amazing.

There are three kinds of stone bullets used by trebuchets, divided into fifteen catties, thirty catties and sixty catties, the maximum range of fifteen catties is three hundred steps, and then decreases in turn, respectively two hundred steps and one hundred steps, because it is aimed at destroying the enemy's siege heavy weapons, so Wei Feng only uses sixty catties of bullets, fifty or sixty steps is the best distance for sixty catties of bullets to exert their power.

With a sharp and piercing whistling sound, a puff of stone bullets rose from behind the city wall and smashed heavily into Sun En's army, and he saw a running sergeant's head being hit head-on, and in an instant, his head was scattered and burst apart like a watermelon being hit hard by a sledgehammer! But the weird thing is that he can still run without a head, and it is not until he runs out of two feet that a column of sky-high blood splatters out of his neck, and there is blood all around!

This person's body has just fallen to the ground, not far away another person hit the waist, the body broke into two in an instant, the upper body leaned back, the lower body rushed forward, miserable, and someone was smashed in the limbs, the strong impact force immediately knocked the legs or arms away, the injured could not die in a short time, and the screams were terrifying.

Even if the stone bullet hits the target, it is still castrated, including the empty bullet, it bounces up when it hits the ground and continues to cause damage, and the ricochet catapults in all directions according to the terrain of the bullet point, without any regularity, with huge kinetic energy, sometimes it can even kill and injure three to five people at a time! Each round of stone bullets can cause nearly 100 casualties, and the ricochet accounts for most of the credit, and the number of people is as small as possible, but the scene is extremely shocking.

There are also stone bullets hit the wooden donkey covered with raw cowhide, with a dull loud noise, the sergeant inside suddenly dizzy, and even someone's ears and nose are oozing blood, although the wooden donkey's defense is extremely strong, but it is hit by sixty catties of stone bullets continuously, often a few shots can destroy one!

In fact, although the stone bullet is terrifying, but limited by the low hit rate and insufficient number, for the army of 50,000 people, it can not cause much damage, the real deadly threat is still the arrow, but the stone bullet is hit by the flesh and blood blur, the limbs fly, the violent lethality, the blow to the soul and morale is incomparable!

The battle has just begun, and it has already entered the white heat, although there are shrimp and toad carts that have been pushed into the moat one after another, and there are also archers who are mainly mutinous county soldiers relying on wooden donkeys to shoot arrows at the head of the city, but under the fierce fire from above, the soldiers have fallen to the ground and died, which makes Sun En both remorseful and anxious, and frequently turns his head to look!

If it wasn't so careless at the beginning, it should be at ease in San'in City at this time, with a strong city defense and sufficient food and grass materials, in the face of the siege of the court army, it would not be a problem to support it for a year or two, but what is the use of regretting? Sun En could only hope that the trebuchet and bed crossbow in the army hurriedly pushed forward.

Lu Xun rolled his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't make a sound, he found that Sun En did not know the art of war, and acted completely with a sharp spirit, according to the normal situation, the siege should be trebuchet and bed crossbow first, with ultra-long range and terrifying lethality to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, covering his own side to attack the city, Sun En is surging up, at first glance the momentum is amazing, but once the defenders organize an effective defense, it can only cause heavy casualties in vain.

However, it was too late to remind him that if Ming Jin withdrew his troops and lined up to start again, on the one hand, it would adversely affect Sun Eun's reputation, and on the other hand, it would seriously affect his morale, and now he could only rely on his absolute numerical superiority to capture San'in with a saturation attack.

The first obstacle to attacking San'in was the moat city, but the shrimp toad cart could often only be filled once, and without the shelter of the mound on the shrimp toad cart, no matter how fast the sergeant ran back, at least fifty percent of the ten out of ten were shot dead under the castle head, and this was the result of the archers relying on wooden donkeys or giant shields to shoot arrows.

Seeing that the offensive was progressing so slowly, Sun En became more and more anxious, "Boom~~" There was a sudden loud noise in front of him, and a wooden donkey finally couldn't resist being scattered into a pile of broken wood under the continuous bombardment of the trebuchet! This is already the ninth wooden donkey to be destroyed, although Sun En has prepared hundreds of wooden donkeys, but the siege has only begun, how long can it be used if it continues like this? Sun En couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "How long the hell is this going to be filled?" Command, push the wooden donkey into the moat! ”

Orders were conveyed layer by layer, and the archers were all dumbfounded, without the cover of the wooden donkey, could they save their lives with the giant shield alone? But the spear and shield soldiers hidden in the wooden donkey did not pay any attention to it, and immediately pushed the wooden donkey and slowly moved forward, and the archers could only hold up the giant shield.

The closer the wooden donkey is to the city wall, the safer it is, because the trebuchet can't hit it, for the wooden donkey, the biggest threat comes from the trebuchet, the rocket is not a big threat, the raw cowhide is coated with thick fire resistance, and ordinary arrows are even more difficult to shoot through!

Seeing that Sun En did not play his cards according to common sense, Wei Feng was also stunned, he understood that Sun En's crooked play was aimed at making his own side unable to prevent the wooden donkey from being pushed into the moat, so it was up to him, what if the moat was filled? So he hurriedly shouted: "Order, change the trebuchet for small bullets, and try to hit the enemy's trebuchet!" ”

Small stone bullets not only shoot far, but also fire faster, large stone bullets must be carried out by 50 people at the same time to pull the pins, and small stone bullets are halved in number, with the same manual operation, can save time accordingly.

As the bullets rained down, Sun Enjun's casualties increased more and more, but Sun En turned a blind eye and his eyes were fixed on the wooden donkey in front of him.

"Whoa~~" In the huge splash, the wooden donkeys were pushed into the moat, the river was rolling in waves, Sun En was suddenly overjoyed, and then turned his head to see that the trebuchet and the bed crossbow were also pulled to the predetermined battle position with stone bullets, and the soldiers were nervously loading!

"Boom~~" Another burst of stone bullets poured down, three trebuchets and two bed crossbows were destroyed on the spot, and the surrounding sergeants were also affected by the pond fish, dozens of people were smashed into meat puree, Sun En was not affected at all, hahadaxiao said: "Hit, hit Lao Tzu hard!" ”

With the sound of neat trumpets, the trebuchet took the lead in launching, and each one was under the force of fifty people at the same time, and the pole gradually bent, "Put!" After a loud shout, the axe hand slashed the rope, and dozens of stone bullets rose into the air, and the target was Weng Cheng outside the city gate!
