Chapter 113: Frightened and Broken!
With Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
The ballista pulls the switch instantly.
More than 20 crossbow arrows more than one meter long and thick with small arms were fired out in an instant.
In this dark night, this powerful crossbow bolt is like an impermanence chain.
Anyone who is shot by it will basically die!
In the blink of an eye.
The crossbow arrows had already entered the command platform of the Yuan army.
Whoosh~~
More than twenty crossbow arrows took away more than a dozen soldiers in an instant.
And was carried by the huge force on the crossbow arrow and flew backwards four or five meters.
At this time, he was watching the detachment of the army attacking the city on the command platform, and at the same time as he heard a strange sound of breaking the air, more than a dozen guards disappeared in front of him in an instant.
This scene frightened Tofu and the generals around him.
Eyes widened!
"What's going on!"
Tokhoff stood up and let out a nervous shout.
But no one was able to answer his question.
In an eerie and silent environment, everyone is surrounded by fear all the time.
Although the scene just now was fast, everyone still saw it.
They watched as the people around them were taken away by something.
Soon.
A soldier shouted after examining the body: "Yu Xiangguo, it's ......"
The voice did not fall.
The soldier who replied to the news was silent in an instant.
It's exactly the same as what just happened.
Another series of long black shadows took the lives of four or five soldiers and a general.
Only this time, they saw what it was.
The general who was beside them at this moment was stared at the wooden board by a long crossbow arrow.
At the same time, the moment he was shot, the whole person was dead and could not die anymore.
After figuring out what was going on, it was still dangerous, but it didn't have the initial fear.
Tokhtar shouted, "Quick, get out of here, move the podium back!" ”
In the process of desperately escaping for his life, it was only a little more than ten or twenty breaths before the third round of crossbow arrows came again.
One of them happened to penetrate the beast robe next to him.
The whole person was also carried by this tremendous force and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Tokhtar could no longer suppress the fear in his heart.
He was just a foot away from death!
Directly discarding the detachment of the beast robe, he stood up from the ground and quickly withdrew towards the rear.
A moment later.
It wasn't until they returned to the camp that they were short of breath and lay directly on their chairs.
Strong body, tiger back and bear waist.
While giving him strength, speed and physical strength are inevitably slightly weaker.
Frightened, he said in disbelief: "What the hell was that thing just now, why can it shoot so far?" ”
"The command platform is at least more than two thousand steps away from Huanggang City, how can it shoot so far?"
"Moreover, there are dozens of crossbow arrows at a time, and they are fired again just after shooting, do you know what kind of magic weapon it is?"
Everyone shook their heads in the face of Toto's inquiry.
Apparently none of them knew what it was.
However, as everyone came to their senses, the fear they had just had gradually disappeared.
I began to seriously examine the battle situation in front of me again.
On the top of the city.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the soldiers to fire several consecutive volleys, he could not see the results, so he simply ended shooting at the command platform.
If you can shoot the best, if you can't shoot, it's an attempt, and you don't have the idea that you have to shoot.
Turning his head, he ordered the men to start shooting in the most dangerous direction of the situation under the entire southern wall.
Moreover, at this time, on the southern wall of the front, there were three ballistas.
At this close distance, every bolt fired at the crowd would almost certainly hit.
And the power of each crossbow arrow is enough to string four or five people in this direction into a gourd.
More than 20 crossbow arrows were fired in a volley, and they basically fell one piece!
Such power helped Zhu Yuanzhang relieve great pressure.
However, the number of ballistas was only three.
The entire southern wall is so long that it is impossible to take care of it all.
Moreover, the collective siege of 30,000 people is too stressful!
By this time, the place of the battle had changed from the city to the edge of the city wall.
Seeing that the pressure was too great, the troops were too many, and it was likely that the city would be taken, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "Transfer 5,000 reserve soldiers!" ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, his subordinates did not dare to delay and left quickly.
A moment later.
Just when the situation in the city is becoming more and more intense and anxious.
Just as they were on the verge of collapse of the defenders, five thousand reserve soldiers finally arrived.
With the addition of new forces, the pressure on the city was instantly relieved, and the battlefield was pushed under the city walls again.
But when the opponent's siege tower was pushed by the soldiers to a position very close to Huanggang City, in an instant, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly appeared on the siege tower, each of them holding bows and arrows, and shot at the soldiers in the city at a higher position than the defenders of Huanggang City.
And that's not all.
At the city gates.
The car was desperately slamming into the city gate.
Although the soldiers upstairs were desperately trying to kill the soldiers below, as these people entered the city tower, they could no longer cause direct damage to them.
Under the impact again and again, if the ordinary city gate was changed, I am afraid that it would have been broken long ago.
Fortunately, when Qi Heng shot at the city gate, he shot it into a steel plate stretched left and right.
Move on a pulley and bury two meters deep underground!
Unless someone digs up the two-meter-deep concrete under their feet, it is impossible to knock it open with a simple rushing car.
However, this situation was soon discovered by the soldiers outside the city.
The biggest disadvantage of sliding the city gate is that if you can pull it open, I can pull it open too!
The gap in the middle cannot be sealed!
Some clever Yuan soldiers began to pry open the gap in the middle with the iron grab, and then several soldiers stretched the iron grab into it together, prying hard.
But the gates of the city were closed and closed within the walls.
It is a rectangular piece of iron with more than 10 pieces of iron.
In the same way, they are crossed inside and out in the concrete wall.
Unless you can squeeze through a dozen rectangular pieces of iron on the left and right, it's impossible to pry them open.
Outside, when the Yuan army was desperate and couldn't break open the city gate.
As a commander of the siege team, he suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted to everyone: "Get out of the way for me, use gunpowder!" ”
Gunpowder is not an uncommon thing in this day and age.
They have all the righteous army, how can the Yuan army not have it.
Rushing out of the car, the commander pushed out the big guy who was a full square meter in it.
The lead wire alone is more than two meters long.
It can be seen that this thing is specially prepared to deal with the city gate.
As everyone withdrew from under the city gate, although they also re-entered the range of the rebels, the fuse of gunpowder had been ignited!
With such a large yield of gunpowder, once it explodes, the consequences can be imagined!
Rumble!!!
The huge shock wave swept the entire soldiers at the city gate, both inside and outside, far away.
The huge explosion sound made many people instantly deaf, and blood flowed out of their ears.
And that's not all.
The concrete-built gate tower, although strong, could not withstand such a large amount of gunpowder.
Although it was not to the point of collapse, the entire city gate also burst in this explosion!
The commander, who had already run far away and was in charge of the siege, suddenly shouted excitedly to the surroundings: "The city gate is open!! ”
"The Gates !! Opened"
In an instant, countless soldiers came towards the city gate.
