Seeing the 100 catapults lined up neatly outside the city, Tubo Ma Benmu Yuzebu, who was ordered to stay in Wuzhou, felt that his scalp was tingling.

What's even more terrifying is that a hundred is far from the limit, and where the naked eye can see, there are more catapults that are constantly being pushed out of the camp of the Don Army.

Forget it, the key Tang Army even added wheels to these tall catapults, and Maben Yuzebu wanted to cry without tears.

Look at the dense stones next to the catapult, even if half of the stones outside can fall on this city wall, this rammed earth city wall will definitely collapse!

"Come, order all the cavalry, prepare for battle!"

Half an hour later, the eastern, western, and northern gates of Wuzhou City were opened at the same time, with a total number of more than three thousand.

It's just that in the half hour when the Tibetan cavalry assembled and prepared to attack, the Tang army was not idle, and the front of the catapult was no longer empty at this time.

The three-month heavy infantry of the Changying army had formed a battle formation, and the catapult position was tightly guarded behind them.

In the gap of the rectangular battle formation composed of heavy infantry are eight-ox crossbows operated by sappers and logisticians in light armor.

There were also an unequal number of archers and crossbowmen on both sides and behind the phalanx, standing by with bows and crossbows.

Extending further to the two sides, there are hundreds of well-armored cavalry of the Tang Army.

Using cavalry to impact this kind of defensive circle that is armed to the teeth and defended to the limit is basically no different from sending it to death.

From the north gate, it was less than one hundred and eighty steps away from the catapult position, and even one hundred and fifty meters away from the defensive battle formation formed by the Changying army.

For these cavalrymen who rushed out of the north gate, there was no chance to think at all, only charging forward was the only chance.

However, the time for ten breaths was less than ten breaths, and the more than 1,000 cavalry had not yet charged to a distance of 100 paces.

In fact, more than 1,000 cavalrymen who rushed out of the city gate on the north side did not hesitate after leaving the city and chose to charge directly into battle.

However, the first thing that greeted them was the sound of breaking the sky, and before they were within eighty paces of the foot soldiers, under the dense accumulation of arrows, crossbows, and crossbows, more than 1,000 cavalry had lost two percent.

Rushing to forty steps, the loss has been more than 30%!

When the cavalry really broke through to the battle formation composed of spears, spears, and rifles of the Long Tassel Army, only half of them were left, and then there was no more......

Only the corpses strewn in front of the Footmen could indicate that they had ever existed.

Compared with the unlucky children who rushed out of the north gate and had no choice at all, the cavalry who rushed out of the east and west gates were relatively lucky, but they still had a buffer time after leaving Wuzhou.

However, when the two cavalry rushed to the north of the city and saw the Tang army's military formation and the dense corpses that belonged to their own robes, several commanders who led the team fell into hesitation.

However, reality did not give them time to think, because the entire one hundred and fifty catapults in the camp of the Don army were all ready.

"Test firing!"

Unlike ordinary catapults, each crew operating the catapult has a soldier holding a red flag standing in front of it, and there is a wooden machine next to the catapult.

As the order for the test firing was issued, the soldiers in front of each artillery group waved the red flag in turn and shouted the order to launch at the same time, and the first round of test firing of a full 150 catapults began.

Although it is not very accurate, the heavy stone will make a loud roar when it hits the rammed earth wall, causing the entire wall to shake at the same time.

Many of the rocks, which were ridiculously deviant, even smashed into the dense ranks of the cavalry, and the concentrated people died directly on the spot.

This roar reached the ears of the cavalry, like a talisman.

Faced with the situation of almost certain death, these elite cavalry, who were nominally Tubo cavalry, but were actually Tubo Mu's private soldiers, had no other way.

Still unsuccessful, the idea of Cheng Ren divided into multiple ways to attack the Tang army's battle formation formed by catapult positions.

And Guo Rong was explaining the simple battle to the Emperor Li Xu, who was wearing a set of ordinary Mingguang armor next to him.

"Your Majesty, the strength of cavalry lies in mobility and impact, and heavy cavalry, including mounted cavalry, has a strong impact and can rely on good armor......

"But when these cavalry encounter a mentally well-armed hoplite like the Changying Army, they often suffer huge losses! Like this...... This is also the capital of my Datang Iron Army."

"Heavy infantry, both offensive and defensive, is very good, but the weakness of heavy infantry is also obvious, that is, mobility, in actual combat, it must be matched with highly mobile troops, such as light cavalry, such as lightly armed sword and shield soldiers."

"And what about the horses you speak of for the hoplites?"

"Your Majesty, in order to ensure the integrity of the formation on the battlefield, the war horse cannot ...... That solved the problem of heavy infantry on the march......

When Guo Rong's spittle stars were almost dry, the first round of test firing of 150 catapults had ended.

The Tibetan cavalry outflanking both flanks was trembling with the cavalry guarding the flanks at the moment, while the Tibetan cavalry charging against the complete army formation had almost lost all of them.

"Your Majesty, the catapult has been test-fired, do you want to start shooting?"

"Let's start, I've seen the foot soldiers you've practiced, and I'm very satisfied, and the next step is to watch the catapult."

"Command, start shooting!"

With Guo Rong's order, the drums sounded, and soon, the reloading ground began to shoot freely.

At first, Li Chen's eyes were attracted by the stones that were thrown out one by one, but after realizing its power, Li Chen's attention was attracted by the equipment next to the catapult.

"Guo Rong, I remember that when Jun Wenzhen attacked Xingqing Palace, the rebels' catapults seemed to be stones carried by manpower, so what are you?"

"Your Majesty, this is a loading tool that the craftsmen of the Changying Military Engineer Battalion came up with, using ropes and pulleys, plus a wooden pole that can be translated (refer to the tower crane for details)......

Guo Rong said that the spittle was flying sideways, Li Yu listened to it with relish, the soldiers who operated the catapult were full of energy, the other soldiers who had no task looked at it with great interest, and the Tubo servant army was amazed.

The only thing that doesn't feel good is probably the defenders of Wuzhou City, although the landing point of the catapult is very Schrödinger's characteristics, but the power is really real, and at this time the city of Wuzhou has become a hell on earth......
