Chapter 730: Artillery Battle

"Your Majesty, if the trebuchet is still in front, I'm afraid it will be wiped out by them soon, so I still want them to retreat!" Yale Buhua had seen the cannon firing of the Jiazhou army before, so he could still maintain a little clarity now, and hurriedly advised Arub that he must know that trebuchets are one of the few in their army that can threaten the existence of the Jiazhou military wall, and if they are consumed, it will be even more difficult to fight in the future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Without the cover of trebuchets, do you have to fill these trenches with human lives?" According to Arub's plan, he planned to use the trebuchet to suppress the Jiazhou army on the wall, and he was quickly filling the trench, and now Yale did not spend time to let him withdraw the trebuchet, and the soldiers who were in front would have no cover.

"It's not that you don't want trebuchets, it's that you need to be more prepared." Yale Buhua really has two brushes, and after a while, he has already figured out a way to deal with the artillery attack, "The last general sees that the artillery of those southern barbarians can only go straight, not like trebuchets that can be bent and fired, so we only need to dig a few big pits in front, build a mound of soil in front to block their shots, and place the trebuchets in the big pits dug out, and the Jiazhou army will not be able to hit these trebuchets." ”

"It's a good idea!" Arubb's eyes lit up, this can indeed solve the problem of the trebuchet being consumed too quickly, but today's attack is about to stop, he immediately issued an order, "Pass the order, let the soldiers in front withdraw first, drag the trebuchet back, Yale doesn't spend you to take people to the front to dig a pit!" ”

"The last will obey!" Unexpectedly, Arub actually handed over the task to himself, Yale didn't spend a while with a numb scalp, you must know that the location of the digging pit is within the range of the Jiazhou army, in case he is unlucky to get a shot, even if he wears triple armor, it won't work? But the king's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to take people down tremblingly.

"Huh? The North Captives retreated so quickly? Li You and the others were also a little surprised, it stands to reason that the northern captives did not suffer too many casualties this time, and they still had the strength to attack, how could they retreat so quickly?

"Lord Lieutenant, please take a look!" A staff officer put down the binoculars in his hand and pointed at the group of soldiers who had just come out of the Beiyu camp from a distance, only to see that they were not holding knives, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, but carrying hoes, shovels and other tools.

"What is this for?" Qin Shixin, Pan Feng and the others also saw this strange phenomenon, and they stopped halfway through, and it didn't look like they were going to rush to the front to destroy the trenches and other fortifications.

"They're going to build fortifications to protect the trebuchets from our artillery." The staff officer saw Yale's purpose for not spending money, "If we wait for them to finish, it will be a little bad for us." ”

"Order the artillery to fire at these people." Even if there is no guarantee that they will not be able to build fortifications completely, it is always good to delay for some time, but it is a little regrettable that the development of flowering shells has not yet been completed, and it is a little inconvenient to deal with such scattered soldiers, and it is far less effective than dealing with trebuchets after all.

"It seems that the Beiyu are not going to continue to attack today, except for the sentry, everyone else should go down to rest, this battle is still long, I am afraid that there will not be much time for you to rest in the future." After Li You finished speaking, he took the lead in walking down the wall, and then Pan Feng and Zhou Bofu, who could not find the target of the attack, also regretfully followed, but Qin Shixin remained on it to continue to command the army.

Thus ended the first day of the attack of the Beiyu, only the artillery of the Jiazhou army continued to attack on the battlefield, and Yale Buhua commanded the hapless soldiers to brave the artillery fire and began to dig the large pit used to hide the trebuchet; At night, they did not rest, but took advantage of the cover of night to speed up the excavation, after all, the hit rate of the cannons at night was greatly stiffened, so by the morning of the two days, dozens of large pits large enough to accommodate trebuchets had been built.

The mound in front blocked the cannonballs fired by Jiazhou in the early morning, and there was a cheer in the Beiyu army, but Li You on the wall was not much worried, because the mound blocked the cannonballs and also blocked the observation angle of the Beiyu, with the strength of the Beiyu, the probability of hitting the wall in the case of not being able to observe the target was too low, and the number of their trebuchets was not enough, so they could not pose a fatal threat to the Jiazhou army at all.

But Arub did not know this, and when he saw that the trebuchet was in place and ready for launch, he greatly commended Yale for not spending a moment, and immediately gathered more soldiers than yesterday to attack the camp of the Jiazhou army; The black-pressed soldiers screamed and rushed towards the wall, and the trebuchet began to throw stone bullets one after another.

The stone bullet crossed an arc and fell in the middle of the battlefield, before the trench, only a few stone bullets fell in the trench, and there was not even a single one that could hit the wall, and the Jiazhou army suddenly remembered a burst of laughter.

The Jiazhou army is not completely unprepared, since the cannon can not reach the enemy's trebuchet, then let the cannon to deal with those enemies who are pouring over like a tide, and the trebuchet will be handed over to the trebuchet to deal with, the Jiazhou army's barracks also erected a number of larger, more elaborate trebuchets, the craftsmen and launchers around the trebuchet are holding various tools to measure the position of the enemy trebuchet, and constantly adjust their own trebuchets.

The trebuchet who is proficient in arithmetic is completely different from the trebuchet who only fires by impression, and the stone bullets fired by the Beiju can hardly pose any threat to the Jiazhou army, and the first wave of stone bullets fired by the Jiazhou army fell very close to the earthen pit, making those Beiyu who felt that this place was very safe just now feel threatened.

As the launch continued, the accuracy of the Jiazhou army became higher and higher, and finally in the fifth round of firing, a stone projectile fell into the big pit of the Beiyu, smashing their trebuchet to pieces.

With this precedent, more trebuchets began to hit the target, forcing the Beiyu to move the trebuchets out again and transport them to the back, and the Jiazhou army still had the upper hand in the artillery battle of trebuchets against trebuchets the next day.

If you say that your ferocity and cruelty may be able to defeat my Jiazhou army, it is just wishful thinking to win in terms of technology, Li You smiled disdainfully, and then commanded the defenders on the wall to attack the north.

The smoke of gunpowder fired from guns and cannons once again filled the entire front, and these weapons that condensed the highest technology in Jiazhou began to ruthlessly harvest the lives of the Northern Capture soldiers again, and the killing began again.
