267 Qin Tian War
267 Qin Tian War September 15
In the distance, there was an endless black phalanx. Soon it began to move quickly, quickly.
It was like a black tide, surging in the direction of the city wall.
Without any prelude or temptation, King Qi's mistake launched the most fierce attack in the first wave.
At the forefront was the large area of siege chariots, but these siege chariots were very divided at the moment, and they looked extremely loose.
The distance between each vehicle is at least ten meters.
This is for the fire of the Tiangang cannon on the city wall.
You must know that the firepower of the Tiangang cannon is extremely terrifying, and a salvo can illuminate at least a killing area the size of a football field.
And the instant salvo of the eight Tiangang cannons can almost raze the ground with a range of 1,500 meters. Therefore, against the Tiangang cannon, it is absolutely not advisable to charge intensively.
Only loose charges could be used in order to reduce the damage caused by the Tiangang cannon.
And the siege chariot at the front, which makes it possible not to lose too many soldiers even if it is hit by artillery.
To put it bluntly, these siege chariots are consumables used as cannon fodder.
At this moment, these chariots were speeding towards the city walls.
Bump boom boom
With an earth-shattering roar, a huge ray of light flew towards the speeding siege chariot thousands of miles away like a giant rainbow that pierced the sky.
The Tiangang cannon on the city wall finally began to wield its might.
The huge silver light smashed to the ground and exploded with a bang.
Then a huge mushroom cloud flew into the sky, and the terrifying impact of the explosion shook the earth violently.
And the astonishing energy fluctuations were as if even the space was about to be torn apart, showing a huge ripple and distortion.
A single shot blew the ground through a hole the size of a football field, and more than a hundred siege vehicles disappeared.
It's hard to imagine that such a shocking explosion scene would appear on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons.
It's no different from the artillery bombardment of a modern battlefield.
But this scene really happened in front of Aoyama's eyes.
Fortunately, there were only eighty-eight terrifying weapons like the Tiangang cannon in the entire Wanluo Continent, otherwise Qingshan really didn't know how to evaluate this ancient civilization.
The roar of the explosion officially opened the prelude to the war.
The black phalanx 1,700 meters away, like an endless source of the Yangtze River, did not pause at all, and quickly rushed out more siege chariots, still as before, desperately in the direction of the city wall, galloping towards the city wall.
Then there was a loud bang, and white light flew up, and the second Tiangang cannon was immediately launched.
Explosion smash, impact!
What follows is like a melody that goes on and on forever.
The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth charges of the siege chariots.
All of them were smashed by the Tiangang cannon from a distance of thousands of meters.
Both sides seem to be going crazy, and no one is reckless.
However, after a wild bombardment, the dense chariot phalanx had almost been consumed.
But the Tiangang cannon on the city wall was also dumbfounded at this moment.
It is undeniable that the firepower of the Tiangang cannon is indeed quite strong, but it must take at least ten minutes of cooldown time after each shot, otherwise there is a danger of exploding.
This gave the besieging side an opportunity to take advantage of it, and if it had been in the past ten minutes, it was nothing at all.
Because the garrison of a city wall can survive this difficult ten minutes.
This time, however, the number of defenders on the walls was pitiful.
This is also the fundamental reason why King Qi's troops dared to attack desperately as soon as they came up.
The one who commanded the siege troops this time was Lan Feng, who had suffered a lot on the Qintian Grassland before.
This guy has been holding back the fire for a long time, and now he is finally waiting for a chance to vent.
After seeing the dumb fire of Tiangang's cannon, he quickly seized this rare opportunity.
"Barricades dismantle echelons, sortie."
The ninth round of siege chariots and 100 siege chariots rushed towards the city walls like a whirlwind.
However, when they reached a kilometer in front of the wall, they encountered the first problem - the barricade.
The so-called barricades are obstacles that are specially used to intercept siege vehicles.
Under the city in the east of Qin Tiancheng, the open area of a thousand meters long was paved with such barricades, and when you look at it densely, it looks like a low forest.
These barricades are not very high, only 1.5 meters high for longs, like small tree stumps, but they are just enough to jam the territory of the siege tank.
Once impacted, siege chariots were immobilized, and the only way to dismantle the barricades was to manually dismantle them.
Or rely on powerful firepower and forcibly destroy these barricades.
Generally speaking, siege chariots for siege will be equipped with five strong fighting masters.
And their task is to smash all the barricades that stand in the way of the siege chariots.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of siege vehicles.
And although this dense barricade caused a certain amount of trouble for the siege chariots, it still could not stop the advance of the siege chariots.
It's just that when they finally approached the distance of about eight hundred meters from the city wall, the Tiangang cannon on the city wall finally recovered.
And so another round of shelling began.
A dazzling pillar of light.
A dull roar,
Violent explosions.
Hundreds of siege chariots were wiped out by the roar of artillery.
Because the distance was too far, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't see clearly the scene of being bombarded by Tiangang cannons in the distance.
However, the explosion of air, the dust rushing to the sky, and the sorrowful roar of the war beast still made everyone feel frightened.
This is war.
Brutal to the point of distortion.
The mistake of the king of Qi was almost the use of the lives of soldiers and the wreckage of countless siege chariots to forcibly open a passage to the city wall.
During this period, there was no damage on the city wall, but the troops of the king of Qi were trying to approach the city.
However, more than 20,000 siege chariots have been lost, as well as the names of nearly 100,000 soldiers on the siege chariots.
Finally, after four hours of terrible fighting, the barricades in front of the city walls were removed.
It was a road to victory made of wreckage and corpses.
However, they were still far from winning the war, because they still had to break through the last line of defense - the city wall.
The green mountains in the sky knew very well that until this moment was the most cruel test of the defenders of the city.
Sure enough, after the obstacles on the ground were removed, the enemy launched a full-scale siege operation.
With Lan Feng's order!
The attack phalanx, which was originally just attacking in batches, soon became the full advance of the entire Tiefang formation.
The overwhelming, endless ironclad army, like a tide, rushed to the city. This time it's the real total attack, because all the soldiers and horses are starting to move!
At the top of the top was the last remaining phalanx of siege chariots, and behind the siege chariots were the fiery chariots and the dense mass of hoplites!
Chariot of Fire: An improved version of the Catapult, it has an incredible ranged attack power.
Able to throw special explosive fireballs that shine into large explosions and flames.
It is indispensable for the siege troops, and it is an auxiliary chariot.
Heavy infantry: also called sword and shield soldiers, if they are also classified by occupation in the army, then these sword and shield soldiers belong to the shield warrior series, and they are good at defense and are the preferred troops for siege operations.
At this moment, these sword and shield soldiers, all holding shields, followed closely behind the siege chariot and rushed towards the city wall.
Although the Tiangang cannon was still roaring.
Although in the dazzling light and the waves of explosion, there were still people who were blown to ashes, but the black torrent was like an endless wave of the Yangtze River, dying wave after wave.
And after a series of crazy bombings.
The Tiangang cannon was once again put on cool.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity.
The enemy's siege chariots finally rushed a hundred meters below the city walls.
Bumper bang countless dull roars, and countless huge rays of light suddenly appeared from behind the siege chariot, smashing towards the city like a meteor shower.
"It's a flaming fireball of the Chariot of Fire, take care of it." Yun Ting said loudly.
The warriors on the walls quickly and sank into the bunkers.
Bumper Bumper!
The flaming fireballs that flew up the city wall exploded one after another, and then huge flames burst out one after another.
However, Yun Ting, who had been prepared for this, immediately commanded a professional firefighting team to extinguish the flames.
However, the enemy's flaming fireball never stops, and it never stops for a moment! Wave after wave! When you look up at the sky, it looks like a dense shower of meteors.
And in this rain of fire, there are also a lot of arrows and big stones.
It was the archers' powerful arrows and the large boulders thrown by the catapults.
As a result, many firefighters who couldn't dodge were shot squarely, but fortunately, the soldiers of Yi and the forbidden army were all equipped with dark iron armor with amazing defense.
These arrows can't even hurt their fur.
But those who were hit by those big rocks were not so lucky, and more than a dozen people who couldn't dodge were smashed to death on the spot.
However, for Yi and the forbidden army, who are accustomed to seeing life and death, this is nothing at all.
War meant death, and the casualties were negligible compared to previous battles.
Therefore, the city wall was not in the slightest panic.
Those who extinguish the fire are still extinguishing the fire, and the defending fighters are still hiding under the women's wall, waiting for the next moment of approaching the battle.
Everything is cut but still seems to be in order.
And on the other side, under the city walls!
Under the cover of fire from chariots of fire, archers, catapults.
The siege chariots finally managed to approach under the city walls.
Then there was a dull roar, and then the entire city wall began to shake violently.
However, it was the siege chariot that slammed into the city walls, and then quickly raised a huge ladder.
Because the walls of Qin Tiancheng's city were really amazingly high, more than twenty meters high, and extremely thick. As a result, the ladder that rises from the top of the siege chariot is also very high and has a small slope.
With such an inclination, it was impossible for the cavalry to rush up the city wall with men and horses, so when the ladder was erected, there were many sword and shield soldiers who followed the ladder to the city wall.
The fire of the Tiangang artillery did not completely block the approaching pace of the enemy.
After paying a heavy price of more than 200,000 yuan, they finally erected a ladder to the city wall.
"Wood, rolling stones, oil! Smash me hard! ”
With Yun Ting's order, it marked that the Yi and the legion finally ushered in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
