The quality of the longbows stolen from the Durrant Empire was slightly worse, after all, they didn't know what kind of wood was the best way to make the longbow, but they had the advantage of the height of the city wall, and they were not weaker than each other in terms of range.

Seeing that his side suffered a small loss in the bow and arrow shooting because of the small number of people, Zhu Yunmei immediately transferred two more divisions to come forward to help shoot, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the battle between the two sides for a while. As an offensive and defensive battle at the pass, the two sides did not even have any contact, and fought a long-range battle with bows and arrows, which can be called an unprecedented spectacle in the history of war in the Tianshen Continent.

Watching the two sides shoot each other, Fang Ruitao observed with interest and didn't say much, he was also quite interested in this fresh way of fighting.

At this moment, Akon suddenly appeared beside Fang Ruitao and whispered to him: "Young Master, the other two wings have just arrived, should we pull them up now" He said and pointed to the snow wolf who was shooting at him.

"It's great that they're here. Fang Ruitao nodded: "Let them come forward to help in the battle, these people have died too much, my daughter-in-law will be unhappy." Fang Ruitao looked in the direction where Zhu Yunmei was and showed a smile.

The two new wings were both heavily equipped wings, and because they had too many weapons and logistics supplies, they were put by Fang Ruitao at the end of the delivery. The war had started today, and Fang Ruitao did not let them wait until night to unload the goods, but began to land one after another in the early morning this morning.

These troops carried too much heavy equipment and were slow to transport, so they did not appear on the battlefield until now. After receiving Fang Ruitao's order, the two wings suddenly became busy.

A large number of four-wheeled carriages pulled huge flatbed carts to the front of the formation, and the soldiers sitting in the carriages jumped down one after another, moving down the huge parts one by one, and quickly installing them. Under the skillful operation of the soldiers, steel hand-pushed ballistas and huge multi-armed catapults were quickly installed, in addition to this, there were also 300 large Zhuge repeaters lined up in front of the formation.

Seeing that these weapons were four hundred meters away from the city wall, the Belun soldiers on the Snow Wolf Pass were a little stunned, they didn't know what the use of these big guys was so far away, and how they used them, but they soon knew.

Under the command of the commander-in-chief's deputy division commander Di Maert, two hundred hand-pushed ballistae launched the attack first, only to see a large number of throwing guns fired from the bowstring collapse into the air and attack towards the city.

The soldiers of Berun watched in amazement as the huge throwing spears fired from four hundred meters away attacked them at a very fast speed, and there was chaos in the city, and even the bows and arrows were disconnected.

With a muffled bang, a throwing gun hit the female wall at the head of the city, and suddenly the bricks flew and injured several soldiers next to him, and the huge throwing gun actually passed through the wall, and it didn't fall to the ground weakly until it flew down.

Soon the second and third throwing guns came over, and the soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the throwing guns immediately flew backwards and were directly hit by the impact under the wall. The exchange of fire between the two sides did not make the Belun soldiers panic, because they could still threaten the other side after all, but in the face of these projectile weapons that were out of their range, the soldiers at the head of the city finally panicked.

Unbeknownst to the panicked Belun soldiers, however, these blows had only just begun. Due to the complexity of trebuchets, the installation is more cumbersome than that of hand-pushed ballistas, and the time naturally drags on a little longer.

After two rounds of fire, the trebuchet was just installed. Seeing that the trebuchet was already in place, Di Matt gave another order, and the soldiers who were quick with their hands and feet immediately put huge clay pots on the basket of the trebuchet, and then the soldiers who launched the fire pulled the switch, and one by one the huge jars rose into the air and shot towards the Snow Wolf Pass.

The range of the multi-armed trebuchet is 800 meters, but that is the range of solid stone projectiles, because the inside is filled with liquid, the center of gravity of the clay pot is unstable, and the range is naturally closer, only about 600 meters, but this is enough. One by one, the clay pots flew over the city wall and flew towards the pass.

When these canisters smashed into the pass and cracked, the overflowing lamp oil in the canisters was suddenly ignited by the exposed white phosphorus, and the sky-high fire quickly cut off the retreat of the defenders at the head of the city, causing a burst of chaos.

Although the long-range weapons of the two wings were not many, they greatly damaged the morale of the Belun warriors in the Snow Wolf Pass, and even caused a lot of chaos in the pass, and in the end, it was still under the pressure of Huck's extreme bullets, which did not cause greater losses.

The soldiers of Berun were also well-trained, and after discovering that the water was useless, these soldiers quickly covered the flames with sand, and the fire shells that the soldiers of the Dragon Soul Legion continued to fire were also burned and extinguished by the prepared soldiers, and in the end did not cause a greater disaster.

This time, the Dragon Soul Legion didn't carry many fireballs, and after firing five rounds, they switched to solid stone shells, and the firing between the two sides ended after an hour.

Due to the strict armor on both sides, the casualties of such a bow and arrow long-range shooting are not large, and there are about 1,000 people killed on the side of Luoyu City, and tens of thousands of wounded, while Snow Wolf Pass has close to 20,000 casualties, most of which are given by the heavy weapons of the Dragon Soul Legion. Now Huck knew that the opponent's defense weapons were not incapable of being used to siege the city, and it was definitely not only the army of Falling Feather City that was opposite him.

"The opponent's defense seems to be very tight, how should we deal with it" Zhu Yunmei looked at the map and frowned.

Fang Ruitao sighed: "The opponent's sortie forces failed too quickly, if they can hold out until dark, we can also use the night to carry out a sneak attack." But these guys died in broad daylight, which really caught me by surprise, so I had to attack first. ”

"The other side still has at least 200,000 troops, and if we want to storm Snow Wolf Pass, the losses will not be small. Even if we defeat the Berunes, how will the army with too many casualties deal with the rest of the battle? Zhu Yunmei said with a frown.

Fang Ruitao thought for a while, he took out a piece of paper and wrote some words, and put it in the message box he carried.

"What are you doing," Zhu Yunmei asked curiously.

"Talking to my family, I asked them to send me some new gear. You send some people to deliver a batch of coal to the barracks, I can be useful. Fang Ruitao instructed.

"Coal is still so warm now, do you still want to bake the fire" At this time, it was still the end of summer, and the temperature was not low, so Zhu Yunmei was very curious about Fang Ruitao's use of coal.

Fang Ruitao hugged Zhu Yunmei and said with a smile: "Xianggong let you see fresh, these coals are not used for heating." Go and mobilize your supplies, and you'll know what you're doing with all this coal tomorrow. ”
