Chapter 353: The Flames of War (9)
Today's werewolves seem to be much more civilized, lined up in formation, orderly, and completely different from the rabble of yesterday.
The werewolves outside the city are lined up in a phalanx, which is obviously someone who has redesigned the formation for them, it seems that today's battle is not easy to fight. Not only that, but the werewolves also have a lot of heavy equipment at hand, heavy battering rams, and high-standing movable arrow towers, all of which were built to suppress the height advantage of the Qin Dynasty.
"Uncle, are these really werewolves, I don't look like it." My uncle nodded.
"It's really not like it, or it means that someone superior has started to guide them. I think Wei Ran and his party have arrived, these should be Bai Qi's masterpieces. ”
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong, no wonder this battle looks familiar, I saw it once last time when I was in the sea of corpses. At this time, I feel that it makes no difference whether we hide or not, and Bai Qi will not fail to see our little tricks with this old fritter.
"This bastard, sure enough, came here." Qin Wu also seemed to know that it was Wei Ran and they were here, and now he gritted his teeth with hatred.
"City Lord, please calm down, you are the Lord of a City, don't let your emotions sway." Zhou Tong next to him also began to persuade Qin Wu, and Qin Wu slowly suppressed this violent spleen.
"The crossbowman has an order to release the arrow again, not to expose the target. The others should not do anything for the time being, and wait and see what happens. "After my uncle gave the order, everyone put themselves in a state of stillness, and no one dared to say a word.
Soon, a few spies came running from the local army formation, and it seemed that they were no longer as reckless as before, and knew that they would reconnoiter first and then attack. The spies didn't cross the river, but just looked at the bones of the soldiers we had left outside, and then turned back.
"It's over, it looks like we're going to be exposed, and it's impossible for Bai Qi not to see these little tricks of mine. But don't move, get those iron-clad planks ready, the enemy's arrow rain is coming. ”
My uncle's words have always been reliable, and this time was no exception, and soon the locust-like rain of arrows came again. But last time I was in the castle tower, but this time it's outside, so it feels completely different.
The enemy's rain of arrows was not only dense, but also very fast, and although it was far away, I could still hear the sound of the wind breaking. The sound of the wind breaking was followed by a hail-like thump. We could barely resist with the planks, and if we didn't have this iron sheet outside, we would have become hedgehogs.
The enemy's arrows were sharp, we still had quite a few wounded, and the brutality of the war was now exposed. An arrow weighing several or two weights, after being shot, the all-metal armor is not guaranteed to be unscathed. And a person like me, who has no armor at all, can really only rely on the ability to regenerate.
However, there is an exception, and that is my uncle, who has neither armor nor regeneration ability. With his years of experience and that long period of experience. It seems that if I want to reach the level of my uncle, it should take another ten years.
With all my thoughts, the earth has shaken over here, and the huge arrow towers and battering rams over there have also been activated, and they have been pushed over step by step by those werewolves. These things really carried weight, and the stones on the ground they passed over were ground into powder, and the earth was pressed into it for half a meter.
However, these giant siege devices seem to be a little too heavy, and it is not easy for werewolves to move. The only ones who could move fast were the infantry, but the infantry didn't move fast either, it seems that they were trying to keep up with the main force.
It's a tough thing to do, they can create a few opportunities for us to break up in batches, and now it's hard for us to find a gap in the attack. My uncle is also sad, it seems that it is difficult for him to find flaws, after all, the man opposite is known as the god of war.
"This bastard, in order to ensure victory, has also begun to move forward step by step, it seems that we are in a lot of trouble this time." My uncle also began to talk about discouragement, the war went on for several days, and we hardly even had time to eat and sleep, and if this continued, we would be tired to death.
"Let's get ready for battle, the enemy is not good, and we can only fight to the death."
I suddenly remembered the five heroes of Langya Mountain, although there are more of us than them, but this degree of tragedy is definitely not worse than them.
Soon, the enemy was still close to the edge of the moat, and this time they did not disperse the attack on the city walls, but concentrated their forces to attack the city gates. Damn it, if he scattered and attacked us, the pressure would be much less, and this attack on the city gate would make our defense much more difficult all of a sudden.
These damn werewolves stopped pushing dozens of meters high arrow towers to the moat. Their turrets are much higher than our walls, and you can see our city from the top of them. Now people are looking down on us, and they are constantly shooting arrows down, suppressing us with a dense rain of arrows.
"Prepare a three-bow bed crossbow, tie up explosives, and blow up these arrow towers for me." After my uncle gave the order, the soldiers next to him immediately moved. Behind the wall, something surrounded by a curtain was pushed over, and when the curtain was opened, a large ballista cart was revealed.
It seems that I only found out why this thing is called a three-bow bed crossbow. It was about the same length as a bed that I usually slept in, and there was only one crossbow on a normal ballista, but there were three on it. The three crossbows are arranged in two positive and one backward, and it is very imposing to look at.
The three heavy crossbows are connected by a thick old cow tendon, and such a heavy crossbow is amazingly powerful at first glance. The old ox's tendons were wound around three heavy crossbows, and finally gathered into one place, and the arrows he was equipped with were very large, about the size of the spears used by the soldiers.
My uncle asked the soldiers to open the three-bow bed crossbow, install the arrows, and tie explosives to the giant crossbow arrows, and everything was ready. However, the bowstrings of the three-bow bed crossbow had to be pulled by a special winch at the back, and I can imagine the sad expressions of the werewolves for a while.
"Launch." At the command of my uncle, the gunpowder ignited, and the crossbow arrows were fired. With the sound of wood piercing with sharp blades, there were several more crossbow arrows tied to explosives on each arrow tower. Many werewolves tried to pull out the crossbow arrows, but before they could pull the arrows out, the explosives had already exploded.
After a roar, almost all of the arrow towers were blown off by the barricades. This time, these werewolves have no way to be arrogant, and if they are against my uncle, this is the end. However, my uncle did not look as proud as usual, but seemed more worried.
I look in the distance, no, more arrow towers have been pushed over, it seems that this time we are going to be in a bitter battle again. Not only that, but this time there are more werewolves to accompany the advance, which is to fight in a group. However, I reckon we should have enough explosives to blow up all the towers and see how long they can be arrogant.
At this time, my uncle suddenly called me.
"Xiaoyu, I've given you a difficult task."
