Chapter 5031: Killing Turtles in the Urn (1) (Asking for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
The rest of the technicians quickly assembled the large equipment that had been made in the artisan battalion, and in terms of proficiency in the operation of these equipment, these technicians were a notch better than the non-commissioned officers in the army.
The trap had already been laid out, just waiting for Bai Naji to step in without hesitation. And now, Bai Najib has come, Chu Xuan sneered at the corner of her mouth, for the barbarians, she is eager to kill them one by one, and it is a great joy for her to see the barbarians covered in blood in front of her.
Chu Xuan, dressed in a white dress and plain skirt, sat on the high sentry tower, in front of her, a modified three-bow bed crossbow was being wound in the skillful operation of several technicians, this kind of three-bow bed crossbow is actually very different from the traditional three-bow bed crossbow of the Dawu Empire, and the biggest change is that he can use four long arrows at the same time at a time, although it is said to be an arrow, but in Chu Xuan's opinion, the arrow is not much different from a spear.
Mu Yunying vigilantly raised her shield and took a knife to guard her side.
Bai Najib's 3,000 iron horsemen rushed into the town in front of the artisan camp like a torrent, and if they wanted to attack the artisan camp, they had to pass through this town, and to Bai Najib's surprise, the panicked crowd that they had seen before was nowhere to be seen at this time, and there was no one in sight.
"Run fast," Bai Naji snorted coldly, but this is fine, although it can't kill people to vent his anger, but it also saves time, and he can directly attack the artisan battalion.
The three thousand cavalry began to form themselves in the town, and the modest walls of the artisan battalion seemed to them to be no obstacle to them, and some of the cavalrymen had found huge logs, tied them with ropes, and several horsemen were holding the ends of ropes, ready to strike at the walls and gates with the help of the horsepower of the charge.
The rumbling war drums sounded in the artisan camp, and Bai Naji smiled cruelly and said, "Attack" The cavalry dragging the giant wood began to destroy the horses and trot.
Several boulders fell from the sky and landed on the town, and the corners of the eyes of "trebuchet" Bai Najib shrank, which was the other party testing the shooting range. "Attack" He drew his sword and charged forward first.
There was a loud sound like the sky shattering in his ears, and when Bai Najib looked up, a fiery red completely occupied his field of vision, and what shot out of the artisan camp was not stones, but burning fires.
"It's not good," a thought suddenly popped into Bai Naji's heart.
The fires smashed down, some smashed on the streets, some smashed in the horses, knocked the knights off the horses, and more fires directly smashed through the roofs of the town and fell into the dense houses, in the eyes of everyone who were a little dazed, there were suddenly raging fires all over the town, and the fire could not be cleaned up, and began to spread in the town at a strange speed, and soon, the cavalry who broke into the town were in the sea of fire.
The trebuchets in the artisan camp were still throwing outwards, but this time it was some clay pots and porcelain vases that shattered when they landed, and when they fell to the ground, they cracked, and what flowed out of them made every barbarian cavalry shocked, these were some flammable materials such as grease, and once they were stained with a little spark, they burst into flames.
Bai Naji's heart was cold, all these things were prepared by the other party a long time ago, what he saw before was an illusion, and the other party deliberately did it for himself, at this time, he finally understood why he ran in Bei'an County for a day, but he didn't find a spy from the other party.
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops," he yelled.
"Prince, we can't retreat, it's all fire behind us," one of the guards shouted.
Bai Najib looked back, and behind them, completely overwhelmed by the raging fire, the cavalry, who had no time to dodge, screamed and fell into the flames, screaming and struggling in the fire with their horses. The once neat formation was now a complete mess.
"Forward, attack, if you want to live, break the artisan battalion," Bai Naji roared.
The courtyard wall of the craftsman camp stone fortress can not stand people, except for a few soldiers on the sentry tower, the craftsmen of the artisan battalion in the wall will push out the siege vehicles one by one, the second layer of the tall siege engine has been level with the courtyard wall, the third layer is much higher, the craftsmen stand on the siege vehicle, operate a strong crossbow and a longbow, shoot at the barbarians outside the wall, there is no way back outside the wall, there is a blockade in front of the barbarian soldiers desperately impact the courtyard wall, bend the bow and arrow on the horse, shoot at the Taidang people on the siege vehicle and the sentry tower. From time to time, someone screamed and fell from the siege engine.
Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the sentry tower, did not move at all, the raging fire outside reflected his face crimson, and from time to time there were cold arrows shooting at the sentry tower, Mu Yunying beside him carried a shield to block the arrows one by one, and the three-bow bed crossbow on the sentry tower shot out with a whistling sound, and the barbarians who were forced to be huddled together by the fire were often shot like a sugar gourd by the powerful three-bow bed crossbow.
Chu Xuan didn't expect her slave to arrive on time, she wasn't sure if Yan Qinghua would borrow a knife to kill someone, so when she came to the artisan camp, all the arrangements were to independently eliminate the barbarians who attacked here, and evacuate all the people in the outer living area to the artisan camp.
In the streets, the houses were littered with flammable materials, and when the brutes were lured into the town, they were immediately set on fire and cut off their back roads.
Looking at the craftsmen who had been densely lined up in a dense formation inside the courtyard wall, and then looking at the barbarian cavalry outside, Chu Xuan showed a smile on his face, Bai Naji, today is your death taboo, no one of the barbarians here can live.
The brutes outside the wall had no way to retreat, and behind them was the approaching fire, and the trebuchets inside the wall were still throwing grease, and the fire reflected the sky red, and the smell of roast meat spread in the air.
"Rush to the wall."
The barbarians who had no way to retreat were red-eyed, dragging the huge logs to hit the wall again and again, and finally, after a loud bang, the wall of the stone rampart was knocked down more than ten zhang long, and several siege vehicles close to this section of the courtyard wall were knocked down, screaming and falling down, and the barbarians cheered and surged into this gap.
Bai Naji did not have time to rejoice, for his joy was extinguished by the crossbow arrows that flew like locusts, and the hundred-round crossbows that had been prepared in the wall were fired at this gap in a dense manner, and the cavalrymen who rushed in were densely packed with arrows like hedgehogs.
The barbarians in front fell, and the barbarians behind them continued to pour in, because the fire behind them was getting closer and closer, and the fire with the smell of roasted meat was more terrifying than crossbow arrows.
Batches poured in, batches fell, and in an instant, the gap of more than ten zhang had been filled by the corpses of people and horses.
Ji Nu was anxious, after receiving Yan Qinghua's 800 li urgent order, he led a thousand cavalry under his command to go first, and the foot soldiers followed, when he was still more than ten miles away from the craftsman camp, he saw the fire rising to the sky on the side of the craftsman camp, and his heart even raised to his throat, can that side withstand it?
