1873 Wall Rock Fort (4)
Under the wall-rock fort, the Imperial Southern Legion, which had the approval of the fat man, finally launched an attack on the wall-rock fort.
The southern army's neat array of crossbowmen first drove into the 150-meter firing line, and 30,000 third-generation crossbows of the empire were raised towards the sky, and countless cold light arrows flashed like stars in the night sky. The hurried bowstring brought a chilling sound, like countless white lines thrown high into the sky by the arms of the god of death, and began to fall downward at a certain vantage point, and the crossbow arrows fell densely, like a storm of metal that suddenly slammed down on the already frightened flesh and blood below, "Ah!" The Gallic soldiers screamed at the arrows, and the place where the arrows fell was like a blood-colored mist bursting at the pass in front of the wall rock fort, and the front line of the pass with a force of 15,000 people turned out to be just a salvo, and more than 4,000 people fell, and the position of the pass was like being dug out with a sharp knife, which was shocking, and there was no other place to hit the area, and the other people were lying on the ground one by one, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, as if a sharp sickle cut through the air above the pass, killing all the living creatures that were higher than the battlement, and in the gap between the strong walls of the pass they relied on, countless crossbow arrows were deeply inserted, and the gravel was splashed in all directions, as if suddenly a large white flower garden grew on the city wall, "Oh my God!"
The other Gallic troops who saw this scene in the back gasped,
There was a dead silence on the city wall, and they all knew that the crossbow and bow battle array of the Falcon Empire was known as invincible in the world, no wonder those experienced veterans mentioned this with a hellish look, and sure enough, this kind of blow was too terrible, it was simply devastating, and it was even more terrible than the dozen or so Thor attacks just now, "Bastard, trebuchet, fight back immediately!"
A Gallic general reacted from his trance, and he shouted angrily to the catapult not far away. The Falcon crossbow has a range of one hundred and fifty meters, which is more than the Gallic bow, but it is within the range of the trebuchet, "Quick, counterattack!" There was chaos on the trebuchet platform, as if the general's shout had worked, and with the sound of levers breaking, whirring! The round catapults were scattered into the sky, and with a dull sound of breaking the air, they fell towards the falcon archer queue "Disperse!" The falcon crossbowman queue quickly dispersed "pop", like a bowling ball smashed on a scattered target, and a white snow mist rose from the place where it fell.
"Beautiful, well done! That's how you want to teach them."
The Gauls on the city wall cheered, and most of the soldiers felt that in fact, the Falcon Empire's world-famous crossbow battle array was nothing more than that, no matter how powerful you are, can you still be more powerful than trebuchets? In order to restrain the Falcon army's absolute superiority in long-range strikes, the Gauls arranged 380 trebuchets in one go after recapturing the wall rock fort, and no one paid attention to the place where the snow powder was rising. Because of the timely dispersion of the shooters and the thick layer of snow on the ground, these round catapults did not roll in advance after being smashed, and the casualties they could cause were really limited
"Sure enough, it's a group of recruits with little combat experience!" The Southern Governor Statun, who was riding on a war horse, showed a touch of pride, looked at the other party's exposed trebuchet set, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and ordered, "Let's start, use fuel bombs to clean up the opponent's trebuchet first!"
"Yes!" the herald behind him nodded.
"Whew!" the second wave of catapults from the direction of the pass struck again,
The boulder, which was tumbling in the sky, quickly grew in size in the lens of a lookout in the hand of an observer. Until it fell, the observer put down the lookout scope in his hand and said in one breath, "I found it, plus 110 meters on the left side of the city wall, 15 meters behind the wall! 165 meters on the left, 20 meters behind the wall......
Behind the observer, a note-taker quickly took notes, then handed them to the officer behind them
"The first team is responsible for clearing the city wall on the left, and the second team is responsible for the right side!" the officer looked at the position on the record, and then handed it to the trebuchet commanders on the left and right sides, and the three hundred large trebuchets that had taken the Southern Army half a month to forge stood like giants,
"Very good!" the trebuchet commander who got the coordinates smiled, feeling that the observer specially requested from the Admiralty could estimate the approximate position with just a glance, which was simply a pair of eyes for the trebuchet, and when he heard the position reported by the observer, the trebuchet began to slowly turn in the specified direction, and the engine winch began to pull, making a clucking and taut sound, at this time, the herald cavalry shouted, and rode his war horse to gallop past the huge trebuchet lined up. Your Excellency order, use fuel bombs to clean up the opponent's trebuchet!"
"Launch!"
"Launch!" The commanders on the left and right sides slammed down their raised hands almost simultaneously, and the giant-like large trebuchet lever bounced violently,
"Behold, what is that?"
The Gauls on the opposite side rioted, letting out a dull cry mixed with fear, and saw only countless round red dots of light, like fiery red suns rising from the back of the black army on the opposite side, with the whistling sound of death, like birds above their heads,
"Boom" just when the Gauls were still sluggish, the abnormal protrusion, "Whew: Countless red points of light exploded like a crowded snowball to the surroundings, countless fireballs hit the items in the explosion, and the general objects will scatter and shatter in the violent impact, and the falling position will burn rapidly, igniting a qiē near the explosion area, and sending out a burst of terrible and miserable screams, and the ignited war horses are even more chaotic, igniting more places,
"Boom" more than a dozen trebuchets burning in the fire huge long bar arms, with billowing fire and smoke, made a crashing sound,
"Bastard!" the Gallic general, who had been fooled, watched the fireball hit and burned, and his heart rose with joy, and he fell into the ice cave, and the last bit of thought turned to ashes.
He didn't expect that the target of the Falcon Army would be his own trebuchet, and the trebuchet, which was still dominant just now, became the target of the Falcon Army in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Qiē changed too fast, it was completely out of his common sense, and in this moment, hundreds of fireballs dragging long tails of smoke turned into burning Grim Reaper in the air again, and smashed down on the head of the trebuchet that was chaotic below.
"Boom"
The fireball burst, and countless fires and explosions were like huge circles of light spreading out the gorgeous 'flower' petals of death on the earth (to be continued......
