Chapter 262: Preparation Before the Battle (4) (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
Since the failure of the last attack on the military fortress, Gudeache did not seem to have taken special care of the warriors of the Yagu tribe as before, and seeing that his brother was a little angry, Gudesaaki suddenly felt fear in his heart, hurriedly raised his head and chest, and replied loudly:
"Yes, Elder Zuo Yuwei, the last general will know that he is wrong."
Bai Ruinuo looked worriedly at the three long ravines in the distance that enveloped the entire Weibao, sighed and said:
"Elder Zuo Yuwei, if you want to fill these ravines and rush to the opposite Weibao, I'm afraid that you will have to fill in a lot of warriors from the northern frontier!"
Goodearchie nodded with a grim face and said:
"Yes, but this is also a helpless thing, fighting, there will always be death, if you can't give up your life for glory, then don't go out with the army, hurry back to the various departments to do some women's things, besides, we can use Mengqi chariots, siege vehicles, giant shield barbarian cover for cover, soldiers with iron tools to dig and fill ditches, so that many warriors will not be sacrificed in vain."
"The chiefs of the Shanlong Division, the Ruisu Division, the Ajin Division, and the Baokachar Division listen to the order"
With a loud shout, four barbarian chieftains dressed in different clothes walked out from his lower left hand, and after the four of them came out of the ranks, they looked at each other, and then bowed to Goodearchie and saluted with fists, saying:
"Subordinates Listen to Orders"
"I have ordered your four divisions to be the pioneers and prepare to attack, and all the catapults under our command will bombard the opponent's two forts and the low wall behind the ravines after the warriors of your four divisions have formed a formation, and cover the advance of your four warriors with long-range firepower."
"Subordinates obey orders, Zuo Yuwei Lord!"
The barbarian chieftains of the four tribes came out in line, walked off the command platform, and drove their horses to their own people, and most of the warriors of the four tribes who were pointed out by Goode Archie were mainly foot soldiers, mainly to attack the city and act as the vanguard.
Soon, the four barbarian warriors came out in formation, not with broadswords, but with shovels and sacks, and after an order from the chiefs, the shovels flew and filled the sacks with dirt. Behind them, catapults were slowly being pushed out by the soldiers, and the caravans and siege engines were ready to go.
The Menglu chariot is one of the Northern Barbarian siege chariots, mainly used to cover the besiegers to avoid being injured by arrows, and quickly reach the fortified city, the Menglu chariot covers the body of the chariot with a whole tough animal skin, and dozens of barbarian soldiers can be hidden under the Menglu chariot, this chariot can effectively resist bows and arrows, but the protective ability effect of powerful lethal weapons such as huge stone projectiles and three-bow bed crossbows is very average.
In addition to the Mengqi car, Gudarchi also brought a kind of flying arrow cloud car divided into two layers, the body is several meters high, ordinary barbarian soldiers stand on the flying arrow cloud car, and advance it to the city wall when attacking the city, the car is arranged with a powerful crossbow, although the power is not as good as the three-bow bed crossbow of the Dawu Empire, but it also requires several barbarians to work together to pull it apart, the range is extremely long, and it can effectively suppress the three-bow bed crossbow.
Because the flying arrow cloud chariot is extremely tall and gives people a feeling of towering like a cloud, the Northern barbarians boast of naming it the cloud car, but the artisan battalion in Bei'an County saw such a simple chariot with such a domineering name, and naturally everyone felt sneered.
Seeing that the warriors of the various departments could cooperate sincerely and quickly prepare everything, Goodachi naturally nodded with great satisfaction, personally picked up the drum beat, and shouted:
"The commander of the Benyu guard personally sounded the first drum of this attack for the warriors of all departments, everyone must move forward bravely, and strive to take this military fortress in front of us with one blow, when the city is broken, the woman of tranquility, everyone can enjoy it at will."
As soon as the words fell, Goodachi raised the two drumsticks in his hand, and as his arm fell, the sound of the war drums resounded like thunder.
The barbarian siege soldiers let out a cry in unison, carrying sacks on their bodies and holding their shields in their hands, and rushed forward at a speed of 100 meters, and behind them, the Mengqi chariot and the flying arrow cloud chariot slowly followed, and the ropes used to throw stones on the chariot made a squeaky mechanical sound, all of which were stretched straight, and with a command, a sky full of stone projectiles and arrows rained out towards the fort and the low wall below.
The barbarian offensive has finally begun in earnest.
The effective strike range of the barbarian catapult is extremely wide, the range can reach up to about 2,500 steps, and the large stones weighing about ten catties fall from the sky, and the power carried by them is extremely amazing.
There are about 200 trebuchets of the Northern Barbarian Coalition Army, and each attack is a cluster of more than 200 huge stones, and the area where they fall is also distributed within a small range, which causes greater damage.
But fortunately, Weibao was redesigned by Su Jun and others, and the construction was many times stronger than the previous Weibao, and the walls were designed with an inclined plane, which could not only effectively remove part of the power of the stone bullet, but also avoid the explosion of stones, the splashing of broken stones, and unnecessary damage.
Although the soldiers in the fort were relatively safe, the First Army, hiding behind the low wall, was not so lucky, huge stones flew over the ravine, smashed into the low wall that had just been built, and suddenly there were holes the size of basins.
The old soldiers of the First Army behind the low wall were either leaning on their sides or lying on the ground, while praying in their hearts that the stone bullets would not hit them.
In the face of a boulder attack, the huge shield held by the First Army is simply unable to effectively resist the impact of inertia, and you can't rely on the strength of your arm to block the force of such a large stone projectile falling from mid-air, right?
The battle had just begun to take a stick of incense, and Shi Tiansheng's first army had already begun to suffer a small number of casualties.
Su Jun stood on the head of the military fortress, gritting his teeth and looking at the soldiers of the First Army who could only be beaten passively at present, but there was no way at all, although his own catapults were not less than the barbarians, they were basically arranged in the city, and they could not hit the catapults on the opposite side at the moment, and the range of the three-bow bed crossbow was only about two thousand steps, and it could not pose a threat to the trebuchets of the barbarian army, and the effective strike range of the newly developed "Rain" was even smaller, only about a thousand steps.
Fortunately, the barbarian's trebuchet fired very slowly, and the stone bullets it carried were extremely limited, and the casualties caused to the Bei'an Army were still within the acceptable range of Su Jun, but Rao was so, and the situation of only being beaten and not fighting back still made the arrogant Su Jun feel extremely unhappy.
