Soon a large number of rockets were fired from the city, shooting straight at the more than 20 surviving well fences. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the well fence is made of wood, the surface is covered with raw cowhide. When the rocket hits the raw cowhides, the cowhides do have a certain effect on extinguishing the fire. After the rocket hit the raw cowhide, it did not burn and was quickly ejected. This is true of the main part of the well fence, where countless rockets are swept down, but it is impossible for the cowhide to cover the entire well fence, there are always some places that cannot be covered, and after these places are hit again, they quickly burn.

Beneath the raw hides was still wood, and when a fire broke out, the wooden structures began to burn. The flames soon dried up the hides, and the hides burned in the fire, and soon the wells that had been rushed to the front turned into a raging sea of fire, and the archers on them could not stand the flames, and the ladders below caught fire, and they had to jump from a height of several meters. Those who are strong archers are better, and those who are not strong will inevitably be broken hands and feet.

"It seems that raw cowhide has great limitations in fireproofing, can we replace cowhide with iron skin?" said Vartis to a craftsman next to him who was in charge of testing the new weapon.

The craftsman in charge of testing the new weapon was none other than Master Augustus's proud disciple, Ruth El, the insignia of the Gangut City Craftsman Branch, and he nodded again and again: "Uncle Huang is wise, we should indeed wrap the well fence with iron sheets, and with the protection of the iron sheets, we can also reduce the thickness of the wooden planks a little more to reduce the weight, so that the soldiers can push more easily, so that the well fence can quickly reach the opponent's city wall." ”

While the two were talking, most of the wells on the frontal battlefield caught fire one after another, and the surviving wells had already entered within 100 meters of the city's head position. Seeing that the distance was already about the same, the flap on the highest floor of the well fence suddenly collapsed, and the archers inside shot at the city.

The soldiers who were caught off guard at the head of the city were shot down, and the longbowmen behind saw that they had suffered a loss, and immediately reflected back with their longbows, because they were all rockets, once they hit the well railing, they immediately began to catch fire, although the Durant soldiers were desperately beating, but the fire still inevitably expanded, and several well railings were quickly burned down.

The defenders were preoccupied with the wells, ignoring the fact that a large, low, and huge weapon had slowly approached the walls. Under the low wooden roof, a large group of soldiers pushed the cart towards the city gate, and in the middle of the cart, a huge crashing log hanging under a wooden beam was shaking slightly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders were not paying attention, the soldiers finally pushed the battering ram under the hole in the city gate, and when they saw that they had reached the goal, the soldiers who were pushing the cart forward jumped on the cart one after another, and together they pushed the battering ram and blasted towards the tall city gate.

The rumbling sound sounded from the city gate, and Zhu Yunmei looked down at the city gate, and her face changed drastically: "Quickly attack the city gate hole, there are enemy troops there destroying the city gate." Zhu Yunmei gave the order, and many people immediately turned their weapons to the city gate, but because the Durrant soldiers had already driven most of the battering rams into the city gate hole, and there was a roof covered with the same raw cowhide, it was difficult to be completely destroyed by the weapon.

With the sound of battering rams, the huge gates became more and more unstable. Among the cities that have been transformed in the Shouyang territory, the city gate is the most important, there are not only three city gates, but also two iron fences lowered from above, and the city gates there are made of cast steel, which is quite difficult to break. Compared with the cities in Shouyang Territory, the city defense capability of the Durrant Empire is extremely poor, not to mention that there are many places that need to be renovated during this time, Wu Chengfeng patronized the reinforcement of the city wall and the construction of arrow towers, but neglected the defense of the city gate.

At this time, seeing the city gate being smashed and crumbling, the soldiers who were desperately blocking the door in the city gate cave were a little panicked, they tried their best, but they couldn't resist the more and more powerful battering rams. Zhu Yunmei waved her hand and said, "Tell all the soldiers in the city gate cave to withdraw and implement the preparatory plan." ”

"Yes, sir. A warrior-level captain jumped directly off the city wall to deliver the order. When the soldiers heard that they were allowed to retreat, they immediately left the crumbling gate and retreated towards the city.

Without the support of the soldiers, the thick wooden gate became even more vulnerable, and in just a few strokes the latch was completely broken, and the overwhelmed gate was smashed open with a thud. "Great, the gates are open, and it seems that our weapons are really useful. Rusel was overjoyed to see the weapons he had made.

"Don't be happy just yet, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. "Vatis had a somewhat calm bearing, and there was no joy in the progress of the breaching of the city gates.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, the soldiers who were still climbing to the top of the city immediately threw away their ladders and fished along the city gate, brandishing their weapons and killing the city. However, as soon as the soldiers in front rushed out of a distance of tens of meters, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Rushing through the city gate, what appeared in front of them was not a bustling street market and dense houses, but another city wall. There is only a section of open space less than fifty meters between the outer and inner walls, and there is nothing here, it is completely empty.

The soldiers in front were stunned on the spot, but the ones behind were not confused, so they thought that the people in front were stimulated by the wealth inside, so they stood on the spot. In order to be able to enter the city and loot on a large scale, they desperately pushed the people in front of them. The soldiers, who hoped that they would have been able to get their fortune earlier, naturally did not do it, and they desperately pushed the people in front of them, hoping to get themselves into the city first.

The soldiers in the back had similar thoughts, and as a result, the soldiers in front were pushed more and more into the open field. Seeing that the Durrant soldiers were almost in, Zhu Yunmei waved her hand, and several soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately threw fire bombs along the city wall one after another, smashing them at the city gate, and the fire suddenly rose up, covering the entire city gate.

Seeing that the back road had been cut off, Zhu Yunmei gave an order, and many archers at the head of the city shot together and shot towards the urn city. The newly built Urn City played a huge role, and the soldiers who crowded into the Urn City panicked for a while, there was no shelter here, and there was no place to hide, in the crowd, they could only run around, trying to avoid the call of death.
