Standing on the wall of the city that rises more than ten meters high and looking into the distance, you can see small black dots, gathered together, forming a black torrent, which is constantly moving forward against the wind and rain from all directions.

They were like waves born on the sea, and the wall in front of them was like a cliff on the coast, even though they knew that rushing over was just a futile moth to the fire, but they still used their weak bodies to beat towards the cliff.

This is not because they are stupid, but because they believe that even the most impregnable mountain cliffs will collapse if the tide hits enough times, and even the coastline that has stood for thousands of years will move backwards.

As for the ups and downs they encountered on the road, and as for the roadblocks they encountered in the middle, they could only break some of the small waves in this raging wave, which was nothing in such a huge tide.

"Boom!"

The sound of the tense bowstrings instantly loosening exploded at the head of the city again, and the huge crossbow arrows as thick as ordinary spears, carrying a majestic momentum, flew out towards the enemies in front of them.

The speed of that instant burst out was as fast as lightning in the sky, and the moment you heard that terrifying voice, if you followed the sound, you could only see an afterimage of something unknown in the air, and then the next moment, it had already come to you.

I saw a crossbow arrow, which directly grazed the shoulder of a patriotic soldier running with a shield in front of him.

A large piece of flesh on his shoulder disappeared in an instant, along with some of his clothes, and the soldier who was still running forward with his head shutting down did not react for a while, and it was not until two breaths later that he finally felt a cone of pain.

He couldn't help but let go of his hand, dropped the shield in his hand, and stood in place and wailed loudly, but then, the scream of extreme pain suddenly stopped, leaving only a long-delayed tail note that slowly stopped, because a feathered arrow had mercilessly pierced his throat.

Another round of lethal crossbow arrows was fired, and the enemy took advantage of this opportunity to close the distance between them and the city walls again, but the soldiers on the tower needed to aim harder at this time.

Because when the enemies were still in a barrel formation and slowly moved forward, although it was difficult for them to cause very effective damage to the enemy with the longbow in their hands alone, at least at that time, there was no need to aim, just shoot in that direction, purely depending on whether luck can hurt the enemy.

However, when the enemies disperse directly, according to the teachings they received during their usual training, after running forward in a serpentine shape, it will be difficult for the people above to shoot directly at the target below.

In addition, the rain falling overhead will blur the vision, and the strong wind will affect the flight trajectory of the arrow, and even reduce its power.

Even the Yanzhou men, who have always been good at riding and shooting, often miss at such times, and if they can't hit the vital point of the person or the knee and other parts with an arrow, they can't effectively stop the enemy from continuing to run forward, and they can continue to rush forward regardless of the arrow wound.

So at this time, the people above need to use these powerful ballistas to kill the enemy, a six-foot-long thick crossbow arrow with a strange force to shoot out, often six or seven people at once, after which the residual force attached to it will disappear.

But the number of ballistas is still not many after all, and because of the size of the body, even if there are many, there are limited places in the city wall

It can't be put down, and the gap between reloading crossbow arrows each time is very long, so in fact, its total lethality is definitely not as good as that of so many soldiers, but the kind of shock it brings to the patriots is incomparable to the ordinary rain of arrows, after all, that kind of human flesh candy gourd, who can not be afraid when they see it?

Moreover, the people who were pierced through the stomach by the crossbow arrows did not die immediately, many of them dragged their intestines out and continued to struggle and wail on the ground, watching their former comrades become like this, such a scene, it was like hell.

At this time, the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom at the head of the city are completely like machines in their bows and arrows, aiming and shooting, and after shooting a round, they will directly change people, and the cycle will go on and on, ensuring that the rain of arrows below is constantly suppressed, but at this moment there have been some casualties among them, after all, the enemies below are not sandbags that can only be beaten, and they all began to wait for an opportunity to fight back at this time.

In order for your vanguard to reach the enemy's city very smoothly, this basic fire cover is essential, not necessarily to successfully kill or injure the enemy on the tower, as long as it can force them to retreat and avoid the front for a while.

But because they are all fighting back from the bottom up, there is a layer of wind and rain in the middle, plus because the distance is too far, and most of the target's body is hiding behind the battlements, in fact, few succeed, and its deterrent effect is far greater than the actual effect.

But the real helper on the Weiguo side has also arrived, and after delaying for so long, after suffering so many beatings, he has finally entered the effective range of the Weiguo catapult and the ballista, although its power and range are not as much as that of the Liangguo side, but after all, it is not something that human power can resist.

Whether it is a catapult, a ballista, or a larger siege tower, ladder and other objects, in order to facilitate handling, rollers are installed below, and they roll forward by rolling forward on wooden round tires, which are pushed by a special person.

Not only that, but there was also a group of men, who did not wear any other weapons as a burden, and wore shields that were a few sizes larger to protect the people who were pushing the carts from being shot directly by the people on the castle tower, after all, such a distance itself was already within the range of the opponent's blow.

In fact, the ballistae and trebuchets on the side of the Liang Kingdom had already turned around and began to attack the enemy's catapults and ballistas in a targeted manner.

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Release!"

Eager shouts rang out one after another, and then a series of strings burst like a muffled thunderbolt, and stones as big as a grinding disc left the net, were hurled out from the bottom by a huge force, flew diagonally towards the sky, and then fell mercilessly towards the city.

It seems to be a meteorite falling from the sky, and it is difficult to say that it can run away on the ground with a huge range, let alone such a small range of city towers, although there are some who have crossed the city wall because of miscalculations and fell directly to the back, but as long as it falls on the city, the soldiers on the side of Liangguo will not have time at all, and there is no place to dodge, many people are directly smashed into a puddle of minced meat by the boulder falling overhead, not to mention, even if it just falls on the battlement, it can directly smash a large piece of the wall.

"Brothers, rush!"

"Rush!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Rush!"

"Go up, brothers, go up!"

After such a terrible round of destructive projectiles, the rain of arrows falling on the opposite city really became very sparse all of a sudden, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the vanguard of the patriotic army hurriedly continued to rush forward, and there was no need to run any serpentine, it was a pure waste of time, so that after a few runs, they had successfully reached the enemy's periphery

Before a blockade.

These advance teams that rushed to the front were prepared, after all, their task was to remove obstacles for those behind as much as possible.

As early as when they were training in the camp before, they had already figured out the enemy's routine, and at this time they quickly took out a large, long-gripped, rake-like thing, and wanted to remove the iron thistles on the ground that were in the way.

What is thistle?

Its shape is similar to the plant tribulus terrestris, hence the name, from the appearance alone, in fact, it is to put two very thick silver needles in a cross shape, and then break them into two right angles, and then melt the middle together.

When using, put it directly on the ground, and put any of the four pointed ends facing up, because this thing itself is sharp enough and has good penetration, and it is generally poisoned on it, so once a person steps on it, it will be pierced on the sole of the foot, and he will not be able to get up at that time.

Whether it is to guard against infantry or cavalry, it can be said to be a good hand, especially at night when you can't see your fingers, because the thing is not big, it is even more difficult to prevent, and fortunately in the daytime, you can see clearly where these annoying little things are, and then use the things in your hands to clear a way.

But the thistle terrestris is not so easy to dial, and the lower part of many thistles is deliberately buried in the soil, and it may not be able to sweep it all away at once.

What's more, isn't it true that these things are deliberately set up to prevent the enemy from rushing over?

This is impossible, because any obstacle, any obstacle, there must be a way to crack it, to put it more simply, whether they use a sack of sand and throw it on it, or directly spread the corpse of their companion on it, in short, as long as there is something to cushion, and then step on it, they can pass.

Therefore, its real function, or purpose, is to allow the attacking enemies to delay for a while to solve each level before they successfully reach the city walls.

And on such a large battlefield, as long as you don't move, that's the best target.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

The rain of arrows, which had just stopped a little due to the rapid attack of his own side, suddenly became dense again, and even overshadowed the rain curtain that fell from the sky for a while.

The soldiers of Liangguo, who had been smashed hard by the enemy's catapults and ballistas, were not deterred, and the damage was actually limited, and under the command of the rear, they quickly re-emerged from the place where they had been hiding, and then began to shoot at the enemy below without thinking about it.

Those who unfortunately died or were seriously injured just now, at this time, naturally there were colleagues who went up to fill their empty seats, and used the longbows and arrows in their hands to vent their inner anger.

There are even special people, in fact, the people in the city spontaneously formed a life-saving and wounded team, responsible for taking some risks when the war has not completely entered the city, running to collect the corpses on the ground, and dragging down those who are seriously injured and are no longer able to fight.

At the same time, the ballista and the powerful improved catapults on the side of the Liang Kingdom also began to reload and fire, racing against time to take advantage of the enemy's firepower to destroy the siege engines that actually posed the greatest threat to them.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

There were bursts of screams, and the people who were holding the rake and trying to play with the thistles were not aware for a while, and many of them were directly shot into hedgehogs by the sudden rain of arrows above, and the other soldiers quickly and consciously raised the shields in their hands to block the front, wanting to form the best defensive iron bucket formation to resist the enemy's attack again.
