Chapter 593: Siege Equipment

The direct consequence of the collective failure of the magic cannon is that when Wang Du is attacked, he has no way to carry out an effective counterattack, and is very passive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Flying stones rained down from the sky and wreaked havoc on the walls, and trebuchets played a suppressive role, although many soldiers were stoned to death.

However, when the bunkers were found, the number of casualties was greatly reduced, but the buildings were devastated, and a large number of buildings collapsed.

In addition, the blow was mainly reflected in the suppression of morale, and before the enemy could start a real battle with real swords and guns, he was the first to be beaten to the ground.

This really did not bode well, and this suppression continued for a long time, until the rain of flying stones in the sky gradually subsided.

The soldiers hiding under the tower looked up at the sky, made sure that no flying stones were throwing at them, and began to climb the tower.

"Is this the power of trebuchets, damn it, dare to do this to us, I will make you regret it for a while, and let you pay for it with blood!"

"They are starting to approach the city wall, everyone hurry up to their respective positions and take up their positions to defend, be sure to resist their attacks, all in position!"

"Oh my God, what's going on with the city walls, how did it collapse in a big way? It shouldn't be like this, damn it, how did it come to be?"

When the soldiers poured into the castle tower and began to hold on to their posts, they were shocked to find that after being suppressed by trebuchets, the walls had collapsed in large areas.

This is a counterintuitive scene, because the walls are designed to be strong enough to withstand the attack of trebuchets.

You must know that this is the royal capital, not a small city in a local province, and it can be easily breached, and this is only a round of attacks.

The collapse of the city wall put a lot of pressure on the defense, which made the soldiers who were defending it feel like they were being beaten in the face.

"Look at the filling of the city walls, shouldn't it be the hardest rock? Why is it all wood and mud? This is a shoddy work!"

"Who would dare to deceive the construction of the walls of the royal capital? This is simply a great perverse crime, and the bad thing continues to fall. ”

"Now I can't care so much, come over immediately to plug the gap, what about the archers, they are moving quickly towards the bottom of the city tower, come and suppress it!"

The soldiers looked at the collapsed walls in disbelief, not reacting to what was going on, but now was not the time to think.

The phalanx of the attackers had already moved in the direction of the city walls with large equipment, and the soldiers at the front laid a large number of planks to fill the moat.

The archers on the walls were ready, and they hurriedly raised their bows and arrows to release their bows and arrows under the tower, and this was their first time to fight back.

The overwhelming rain of arrows pressed towards the slowly moving phalanx, which made the soldiers on the city tower proud for a while, and they could finally hold an arrow of revenge.

"Let these bastards show us how good we are, hum, they're still so calm, they don't know how they're going to die by then!"

"Kill all these enemies who dare to invade, the king is sacrosanct, no one should want to attack it, it's a fool's dream!"

"That's ...... Shield array? Damn, can't this level of arrow rain hurt them? And what are they pushing over?"

The archers were ready for a second round of shooting, which would have been invincible if they had dealt with the peasant army a few days earlier.

At that time, under the fire of a rain of arrows, hundreds of people had to be hit and fell to the ground, and the rude peasants were too poorly equipped, only equipped with very limited leather armor and leather shields, and there was no way to resist this dense and large-scale bow and arrow killing, and the losses were heavy.

But this was not the case with the attacking army, which was not afraid in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows and fire, and there were officers in the army formation who gave orders.

Accompanied by the shouts of the officers, the soldiers all raised their shields at the moment when the rain of arrows was about to fall to the ground, forming a solid shield formation without any gaps.

The cluster of arrows was all submerged in the shield, and the intact shield was soon densely inserted by the bow and arrows, and there were dozens of arrows on one shield, to say the least.

Occasionally, the angle of the bow and arrow was very tricky, and it hit the soldier's leg at a very oblique angle, directly piercing the entire calf, and the blood flowed profusely.

At this time, the soldier not only did not let out a scream and fell behind, but directly split the arrow shaft in two, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

Their speed was not slowed down by the rain of arrows, which put a lot of pressure on the castle tower, and the officers kept shouting.

"Damn, attack immediately, the archers are ready, keep shooting, absolutely not let them get close, release arrows, shoot them all to death!"

"These guys are really calm, and they are not at the same level as the farmers, and it would not be good if they were brought closer. ”

"Prepare the stones, they will stone them all to death if they dare to come, but the thing they are pushing is really caring, too high!"

The soldiers defending the city had never seen such a battle before, and instead of using the usual stairs, these besieging fellows were pushed by hundreds of men with large machines they had never seen before, almost as high as the city walls, and they looked at them at a level, completely losing their condescending superiority.

When the archers were about to carry out a second round of suppression, but at this time there was already a rain of arrows on the ground like flying locusts in the opposite direction.

Dozens of archers fell to the ground in an instant before they could prepare, and the bow and arrow suppression on the ground was undoubtedly more ferocious.

"We condescendingly rely on the wind to inflict large-scale damage, what is the matter with them, this kind of bow and arrow is not the same as what we use. ”

"Their pressure was so great that we didn't have a chance to fight back, and we never faced such pressure. ”

"Look, the machine that looks like a moving wall has been pressed over, and their soldiers are climbing up, oh my God, they're coming!"

While the archers were still looking for an opportunity to counterattack, they noticed that the huge equipment as high as the city wall was approaching, and some soldiers began to climb.

It's just that they no longer climb directly by relying on the simple staircase, but from above the equipment, they rush directly by sprinting.

On the other side of the apparatus, soldiers climbed up the stairs in a steady stream, and the garrison had no way to stop their advance.

Under such an onslaught, everyone was caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, soldiers had already climbed to the top of the tower.

The battle has changed from long-range fire suppression to melee combat above the city walls, which is really cruel!
