As Li Jiayi analyzed before, after the three-way army launched an attack, only the official army really worked hard to fight.

At the head of Taoyuan Town, Li Jiayi directly tied the young marshal to the head of the city, and Mai Dashuai saw it from afar, he really wanted to cry without tears, how could he fight such a battle? Shoot arrows at the young marshal? Mai Dashuai is also a bachelor, and he ordered his subordinates to beat the drums vigorously, but he didn't let people attack forward, which confused the people under him, but in this way, no one really wanted to charge into battle, and those who rushed to the front always died the fastest.

And the realism in Shangzhong Town is much stronger, at least the Seven Water Army is really attacking, and even the siege equipment is used. Zhu Jing stood majestically at the head of the city, looking at Mu Bo on a war horse in the distance. He knew how terrible the person in the distance was, as long as he was alone, he could be worth thousands of troops, and he was on his side, otherwise, ...... There's nothing to do with him here! The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and both sides had damage, for Shangzhongzhen's side, it was equivalent to no damage, and the losses on the side of the Qishui army were not large, such a battle was decent, like a warm-up before the official battle began. And the two who are far away know that it still takes time!

The real battle took place outside Pingwang Village, and the commander of the official army vented all the anger he had suffered at the hands of the Qishui Army in Pingwang Village. Arrows were poured at the head of the city like money, and there were all kinds of siege equipment such as rushing cars, ladders, well railings, and catapults, so Huang Zheng brought all the soldiers who had participated in the battle to defend the city, and with them as the backbone, the defending soldiers would not be defeated in the first place. But. Rao is so, in the face of the fierce attack of the official army. The small Pingwang Village is still facing a flat boat in the wind and rain, and it may capsize at any time.

In order to ensure that the defensive force is sufficient. The household registration of all the soldiers defending the city has been changed to Pingwang Village, so that after being killed, they can return to the battlefield as soon as possible, so as to avoid a shortage of troops. However, the commander of the official army gave full play to the advantage of troops, in addition to choosing the east gate as the main direction of attack, the other three directions also launched fierce attacks at the same time, and for a time the troops on the surrounding city walls were all in an emergency.

What made Huang Zheng even more anxious was that the catapult arranged by the other party at the east gate had caused huge damage to the city wall, and there were already obvious cracks in several sections of the city wall. After a few more bombardments, it is very likely that it will collapse, and when the officers and soldiers rush in, there will be no way to defend the city.

"Let the catapult start firing back! Be sure to destroy the opponent's catapult! Huang Zheng ordered, he fully foresaw the brutal battle that Pingwang Village would face, so he transported all the catapults to Pingwang Village. In this regard, Li Jiayi very much agrees, instead of scattering strength, it is better to concentrate on defending the place that is most likely to be attacked fiercely.

The reason why Huang Zheng did not use the catapult in the first place. On the one hand, it is uncertain which gate the other party's catapults will be located at, whether it is evenly distributed or centralized, and on the other hand, it is mainly to prevent the location of the catapults from being discovered by the other party too early, so that they will be taken care of by the other party's catapults. Right now. After a few rounds of projection, the catapult is relatively fixed at an angle, and your own catapult has been carefully calculated and calibrated. Basically locked the area of the opponent's catapult, and only one round of test firing at most. Basically, you can determine the exact location of the other party.

However, this time, Huang Zheng did not test fire first according to the traditional catapult offensive model. Instead, a round of gravel was fired first. Although it is not possible to destroy the opponent's catapult with a gravel attack, it will cover a large area and deal significant damage to the opponent's soldiers who control the catapult if the calibration is done well.

The catapult troops of the official army were enthusiastically sending stones one after another to the city wall of Pingwang Village, and countless gravels in the cold air defense were like scattered flowers in the sky to envelop them, and when they reacted and wanted to hide, it was too late, not to mention, they were controlling the catapults, where they could find a place to hide. Just one round of gravel fell, and more than half of the officers and non-commissioned officers who operated the catapult lost their combat effectiveness. There were already more catapults in Pingwang Village than those of the official army, and they took such a lead, which was undoubtedly a catastrophe for the catapult troops of the official army.

The commander of the officer and army, who was lucky enough to survive the first round of attacks, hurriedly ordered the remaining subordinates to control the catapult to turn around and prepare to fight back, but before they could adjust in place, the second round of stone throwing in Pingwang Village had already been issued. This time it's no longer rubble, it doesn't make much sense to kill and injure enemy soldiers, and if you die, you will add up another one, and only take the opportunity to destroy the trebuchet is right.

After the test firing, the accuracy of the stone throwing has been improved to a certain extent, and after this round, half of the six catapults of the officers and soldiers were destroyed at once. The commander of the official army finally commanded his subordinates to adjust the direction of the catapult, but the uncalibrated shooting was not accurate at all, and where could he touch the side of the catapult in Pingwang Village. While they were busy calibrating, the terrible boulder came again.

It has to be said that the fighting will of the commander of the official army is still very tenacious, and when only the last one of the 6 catapults remains, he still stubbornly fired the last shot, and the boulder crossed the sky, and unfortunately fell two meters to the left of one of the catapults in Pingwang Village, successfully taking the life of an unlucky soldier.

Seeing the eight boulders flying in his direction, the commander of the official army decisively abandoned his position and fled into the distance, watching his last catapult shatter under the bombardment of multiple boulders.

Without the catapult attack, the pressure on the city wall was suddenly reduced a lot, at least there was no need to worry about when the wall under his feet would suddenly collapse. And this effect is obviously mutual, the pressure of Pingwang Village is less, the pressure of the official army is greater, the soldiers who attack up under the city are a little better, and the soldiers who are responsible for suppressing the archers at the head of the city at a distance are unlucky, and they can't threaten the defenders at the head of the city at all if they dodge away, but if they get closer, they become a live target for catapults.

Relying on the support of catapults, the defenders of the city barely resisted the attack of the official army, and every minute someone fell, and some people came back from a distance after being resurrected, returned to their positions, and continued to fight!

"It's not okay to go on like this!" Huang Zheng frowned and said to Liao Hua on the side. (To be continued.) )
