Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Siege Crossbow

"Boom!"

A siege crossbow was slowly pushed out of the barbarian army, facing Bazhou City in the distance.

The barbarian siege crossbow, also known as the eight-bull crossbow, is so powerful that if you want to pull the crossbow string, you even need the huge strength of eight barbarian bulls, and the strength is unimaginable.

And this is only the most ordinary siege crossbow of the barbarians, the most powerful siege crossbow among the barbarians, and even it takes more than thirty brute bulls to work together to pull the crossbow string, the power is huge, enough to penetrate the city wall more than ten meters thick in a hundred zhang of foreign life, the power is terrifying, it can be called terrifying.

Under the scorching sun, the crossbow arm was stretched out several feet long siege crossbow, like a wild eagle with huge wings spread, and began to gradually exude its terrifying might.

After the giant crossbow was launched, there were special brute soldiers with a thick rope with hooks at both ends, one end hooked the crossbow string, the other end hooked a pair of winches, and then bypassed the winch and connected to the eight huge brute oxen, ready to pull the crossbow and fire.

"Smack!"

After the preparation was completed, as several wolf soldiers waved the long whip in their hands and slammed the giant brute bull riding under them, the brute bull let out a howl of pain under the pain.

"Moo!"

After howling in the sky, the eight powerful brute bulls, under the control of the eight brute wolf soldiers on their bodies, stepped forward with great strength, pulled the ropes, stirred the winch, and slowly pulled the terrifying siege crossbow little by little.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

With the death force of the bull pulling the crossbow, a terrifying huge force came, and the giant rope attached to the crossbow string was tightened, and together with the giant crossbow, it made a scalp-numbing squeak.

"Click!"

The crossbow string was pulled apart little by little by the mighty brute bull, and the ballista that was firmly fixed to the ground also made a violent mechanical friction sound.

If it weren't for the fact that the main connecting parts of the ballista were made of fine iron, I am afraid that the entire ballista would have been torn apart by these eight brute oxen!

Finally, after a long time, the eight panting brute bulls completely pulled the siege crossbow apart, successfully buckled the crossbow string on the firing teeth, and prepared for it.

Then, I saw a brute bear soldier with great strength carrying an arrow feather that was the thickness of an adult's arm, a foot long, made of iron and wood, and the tail was made of fine iron, and the front end was equipped with a huge three-edged blade iron arrowhead and placed on the crossbow machine of the bed crossbow.

After the crossbow bolts are loaded, the special brute soldiers aim at the target, and then, the powerful brute bear soldiers carry a huge hammer to the trigger of the giant crossbow, ready to fire.

Because the power of the crossbow is too huge, even the brute bear soldier with great strength cannot move the trigger of the crossbow arrow with his bare hands, and he must use a large iron hammer to hammer the trigger with all his strength to activate the giant crossbow.

......

Carrying a sledgehammer to the trigger of the siege crossbow, the human-like bear soldier looked bloodthirsty at the Bazhou City in front of him, and after sneering, he raised the giant hammer in his hand high, and then smashed down violently.

"Bang!"

The sledgehammer slammed down on the trigger of the siege crossbow.

"Whew!"

In an instant, the crossbow arrows shot out like lightning, directly piercing through the air, dragging the extremely piercing air whistling sound, and shooting wildly towards Bazhou City in front.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk!"

The crossbow arrows with terrifying and boundless strength came and were nailed to the walls of Bazhou City, and the iron feathers at the end of the arrows trembled and made a buzzing sound.

These crossbow arrows are not so much arrows, but rather the war spears of barbarian soldiers, because its size and length are almost the same as the war spears used by ordinary barbarians, so they are also called "one gun and three sword arrows".

And these crossbow arrows also have another name, that is, called "stepping arrows", because it also has a special function, that is, when attacking the enemy's city wall, the thick crossbow arrow is nailed to the enemy's city wall, so that the front end of the crossbow arrow is deeply inserted into the wall, leaving only half of the thick arrow shaft and tail feathers exposed outside the wall.

The besieging brutes could climb the walls of the city and capture the city under their own cover, climbing these huge arrows stuck in the wall.

As a result, this huge crossbow arrow became a pedal for the siege barbarians to climb, so these arrows also had the name of "pedal arrow".

At this time, these crossbow arrows are no exception, I saw that they were nailed to the wall of Bazhou City, and the arrow shaft of Zhang Xu was nailed deep into the city wall, and it was about half a zhang into the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that Bazhou City was built with huge stones and poured with molten iron, I am afraid that these thick crossbow arrows would directly pierce the city wall, leaving terrifying holes one after another.

At that time, the city wall that was shot into a plug, these fierce brutes only needed to push the siege chariot and crash it hard, so as to collapse it, so as to break through the city of Bazhou.

......

Rows of crossbow arrows were nailed deep on the walls of Bazhou, and spread to the head of the city, and countless barbarians flocked to the city, using the cover of siege chariots and their own archers, carrying iron shields on their backs, biting broadswords, and climbing these crossbow arrows to the top of the city.

Seeing this scene, the defenders of Beixuan in the city were also shocked, because if it continued like this, it would only be a matter of time for the barbarians to break through Bazhou.

"Bang! bang!"

The rolling stones and sassal trees on the top of the city poured down like money, and smashed them at these brutes who were clinging to the walls.

However, these thick crossbow arrows are not only a sharp weapon for the barbarians to attack the city, but also a defensive weapon, the arrow shafts made of ironwood are extremely tough and difficult to be broken, and those rolling stones and skulls that are smashed from the city are directly bounced away by these thick and tough arrow shafts, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to the barbarians.

At the same time, the giant simmer that rolled down with the iron cable, when it was smashed, was also stuck under the city wall by the crossbow arrows that were fired one after another, and it was difficult to recover.

A sad sense that the city is about to be broken and the people are about to die is shrouded in the hearts of all the Beixuan soldiers.

......

"Abandon the wood, all the Beixuan soldiers obeyed the order, used fire oil, spears and shields to step forward, and all the barbarians who climbed the city wall were killed. ”

"Also, if there is a cowardly escape, the overseer - kill him on the spot!"

Returning to the city wall, seeing the Beixuan soldiers whose morale was seriously frustrated, Long Ji also roared hoarsely, boosting the morale of all the soldiers defending the city.

After a pause, he glanced at the Northern Xuan Kingdom Lord who was still standing at the head of the city like a mountain, and Long Ji shouted again.

"Soldiers, the lord of the country is looking at us, this battle, for our Beixuan, fight to the death - do not retreat. ”

After drinking high, Long Ji was the first to rush up with a gun, and picked up a brute bear soldier who could climb the city wall.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Hearing the applause of the young commander, the morale of all the Beixuan soldiers was also shocked again, and they looked at the Beixuan lord who was still standing at the head of Bazhou City, and had raised a Beixuan flag in his hand at some point, and the eyes of all the Beixuan soldiers were instantly red, and they rushed up desperately towards those barbarian bear soldiers who were clinging to the city wall, and defended Bazhou City.

Even the Beixuan soldiers, who were seriously injured and could not move, gritted their teeth and desperately stood up, or crawled on the ground, holding their weapons high, and killed the fierce brute bear soldiers or brute wolf soldiers.

In an instant, the fierce shouting and killing sound shook the world and heard for hundreds of miles.

"Bang!

A pot of boiling fire oil poured down from the head of Bazhou City, splashed towards the barbarians who climbed the city, and poured it on the barbarians, so that the barbarians who climbed the city directly turned into a ball of fireball, fell down miserably, and rolled wildly under the city.

But now, life is like a mustard, and no one wants to save those barbarians who are devoured by the flames, they all silently trample past him or directly from his body, trampling them into a puddle of flesh, desperately rushing to the city wall of Bazhou, striving to attack Bazhou City as soon as possible.

Because, the promotion of centurion, the reward of a hundred slaves, is a great temptation for any brute, and it is worth their desperate efforts.

In an instant, the city of Bazhou was like turning into a sea of fire, countless barbarians howled in the flames, stumps and corpses were everywhere, a terrifying scene.

And the giant arrows of the siege crossbow were also ignited by the fire oil, and they burned violently, gradually burning the arrow shafts to ashes.

Huojiao oil, the fuel oil refined by the North Sea Jiaoyu, ignites when it encounters things, and is the best weapon to deal with the barbarian siege crossbow.

However, the cost of its refining is extremely expensive, and even the Northern Xuan Kingdom does not have much.

And every time a pot of fire oil is boiled, it takes a short time, and the barbarians' siege crossbows continue to fire terrifying crossbow arrows one after another, nailed to the city wall, replenishing the burned arrow shafts, under the stalemate between the two, more and more barbarians are climbing along these crossbow arrows to the city wall of Bazhou.

The location of the battle also gradually shifted from the city to the head of Bazhou City.

Bazhou, will be broken!

......

On the city of Bazhou, at this time, it was already shrouded in the sound of shouting and killing all day long, and countless barbarian soldiers climbed to the head of the city and launched a fierce attack on the Beixuan soldiers.

Under the siege of the barbarian army, which was dominated by the barbarian bear soldiers and the barbarian wolf soldiers, countless Beixuan soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the situation of defending the city became more and more critical.

On the main tower, the lord of the Beixuan Kingdom watched this scene with tears in his eyes, but he did not dare to easily intervene in the situation of the siege below.

Because, at this time, there are two rhino demon clan brute ape generals who are staring at him fiercely, as long as he dares to make a move easily, these two brute ape generals will also attack mercilessly.

Because, in the struggle for hegemony for thousands of years, the barbarian and human armies have gradually reached a consensus, that is, in the war of low-level soldiers, high-level soldiers must not interfere, otherwise, it will be a one-sided slaughter.

Therefore, for a long time, both barbarians and terrans have acquiesced to the existence of this consensus, and no one dares to break this rule easily.

Otherwise, no matter which side breaks it, it will definitely be hostile to all barbarian or human monks, and no one can afford such a price.

Seeing more and more Beixuan soldiers killed in battle, Yue Xingtian was furious in his heart, and a trace of tears involuntarily appeared in the corners of his eyes, and finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and he planted the Beixuan flag in his hand heavily on the watchtower, and shouted violently with his sword.

"Rhino Demon Thief, this time you wave your troops to attack my Beixuan, Beixuan is difficult to stop and destroy me, I have nothing to say, however, I tell you, even if Beixuan is destroyed, don't think about it, today, even if I die, I will definitely slaughter a few rhino demon thieves and bury my Beixuan soldiers. ”

"Haha!"

With a disdainful sneer, under the city wall, the two brute apes who were also supervising the battle sneered.

"Hmph, don't be ashamed, the moon punishment day, the fall of Beixuan could have been changed, as long as you dedicated Princess Beixuan to His Royal Highness the second prince, Beixuan is not to this day, today Beixuan is extinct, you can't blame others. ”

"Hehe, that's it, Moon Punishment Day, it is your Beixuan's honor that His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Rhino Demon Clan can afford your Beixuan princess, it is you who don't know how to raise it, so you can invite this military disaster for Beixuan, today's matter, it's no wonder to us, haha!"

Hearing this, Yue Xingtian was furious, and roared angrily.

"Rhino Demon Barbarian Thief, it's useless to talk more, let's die, today, I am death, and I will also behead you and others under the city of Bazhou, and sacrifice my thousands of dead Beixuan soldiers with blood!"

After speaking, Yue Xingtian stomped on the tower with the soles of his feet, and his blood and qi surged like a sea, and he jumped down directly from the city head more than ten zhang high, and rushed towards the two barbarian ape generals.

Seeing this, the two savage generals smiled sarcastically, and after glancing at each other, there was a strong flash of joy and killing intent in their eyes.

Because, capturing and killing the lord of the Northern Xuan Kingdom is a great achievement, even if they are already the commanders of the tribes of the Rhino Demon Clan, they are all agitated in their hearts in the face of such great achievements.

The two brute apes licked their lips bloodthirsty, shouted excitedly, and rushed towards the Moon Punishment Heaven with the same murderous spirit.

In an instant, the three of them rushed together, and in an instant, the blood and qi of heaven and earth shook, and a blood-colored whirlwind blew in all directions, bringing a deafening blood and qi blast, shaking the heavens and the earth.
