The Don army took turns resting in the forest, taking turns making catapults, and taking turns polishing catapult ammunition.

Spherical ammunition is the best, other shapes need to be slightly polished, of course, the remaining gravel can not be lost, and the gravel can also be used as ammunition wrapped in cloth, which is more powerful to people.

By the next morning, the Don troops were ready to go, and they had ten catapults ready.

Meng Biao's battle flag moved forward, and the whole army slowly walked out of the forest, no longer hidden.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly reported to the commander of the city, and the commander of the city roughly counted that the number of people on the opposite side would not be less than five thousand.

Hurry down the wall and run to the council chamber, it is better to tell the chief about this kind of thing early.

The Sanmiao chieftain Qingteng was still asleep when he was woken up by the guards.

"Chief, the commander of the city guarding outside has come to report that a large number of enemy troops have appeared outside, and their number will not be less than five thousand, you can go up to the city wall and have a look!"

Qing Teng woke up when he heard this.

Why is this happening all the time lately? A few days ago, the people of Longshan didn't know what to smoke crazy? Suddenly brought troops to attack them, and today another army came, what did they want to do?

A few days ago, the sneak attack of Longshan caused Sanmiao to suffer heavy losses, and a thousand defenders of the city were killed, but fortunately, they dragged Longshan's army to the death, so that Sanmiao's army had the opportunity to gather and fight Longshan, otherwise it would be even more difficult to let Longshan's army disperse to the city.

In addition to killing 1,000 defenders in that battle, Sanmiao also killed 1,000 people in the follow-up battle, and more than 1,000 people were injured and sick, and now there are 7,000 soldiers in the city to use.

Looking at the slowly advancing army in the distance, Qingteng asked the archers on the city wall to prepare for the start of archery as soon as the enemy army approached the range, and he must be deterred enough.

But the Tang army stopped before it was within range.

Li Chengzhou picked up the shield, and slowly approached alone, the battle axe made a look, and dozens of royal forest soldiers next to him also followed with shields.

Qing Teng saw that two or three people from the opposite side came up, so he asked his subordinates to put down their bows and arrows.

Li Chengzhou beckoned from below, signaling the people in the city to come down and speak.

Qingteng was not afraid of the enemies under the city, so he walked down so generously, with more than a dozen guards by his side.

Li Chengzhou saw the green vine coming over generously.

"Who are you? What does the army want to do? I advise you to leave quickly. ”

Qingteng was unceremonious, and directly began to reprimand, Li Chengzhou didn't care about him.

"Surrender quickly, you can't bear it, we have ten catapults behind us, and your walls can't even withstand a blow! In order to avoid the loss of life, surrender early. ”

As soon as Li Chengzhou opened his mouth, he persuaded the other side to surrender, Qingteng would definitely not do it, why should he surrender with a word?

"No way, since you're coming, then don't blame us for being rude!"

"Don't, don't, there's something to discuss! In this way, if our catapults bombard for an hour, we will rest for an hour, and if you want to surrender, take advantage of the rest to come out and surrender. ”

The two sides did not reach an agreement, and Qingteng did not take Li Chengzhou's words to heart, so he didn't believe that there was any catapult on the other side that could defeat Sanmiao City.

Li Chengzhou retreated and told Fang Changge and Meng Biao that they had not talked.

"It's normal that you don't talk about it, but if you do, it's a problem. Come on, push the catapult out! ”

Ten catapults were pushed out of the forest, and the soldiers also retreated behind the catapults.

Catapults were operated by soldiers from four battalions in turn. The Imperial Forest Army protected Li Chengzhou, and Jin Wuwei and the Sanzi Battalion protected the safety of the catapults.

After demonstrating the use of catapults to the soldiers of the four battalions, Fang Changge made a request.

I don't want to hit anything useful, I just want to be able to hit Sanmiao City.

The soldiers of the four battalions were eager to try their hand, the first to operate the catapult was the Fire Ox Battalion, some of them operated the catapult, and the rest went to collect materials to continue building the catapult.

The remaining three battalions scattered in search of catapult ammunition, which was expendable and could not be fired at all.

After that, the number of catapults increases, and the amount of ammunition consumed will only increase.

The defenders of Sanmiao City looked curiously at the strange equipment in the distance, not knowing what it was used for.

The soldiers of the Fire Ox Battalion clumsily loaded the ammunition, then turned the winch, pulled the rope tight, and then released the winch, and the loaded ammunition headed towards Sanmiao City.

This time, only one of the ten rounds of ammunition landed on the wall, and the soldiers began to adjust the direction and angle and strength, so that the ammunition behind them could be hit more accurately.

The ammunition crossed an arc and landed on the city wall with precision, and the stone with great kinetic energy hit the city wall, and the rudimentary city wall actually hit the city wall with this blow.

Fang Changge didn't expect that the city wall would block this blow.

But Qing Teng's heart set off a storm, what kind of weapon is this, ten rounds of ammunition were fired from the opposite side, although only one fell on the city wall, and his own city wall also blocked this blow.

But the vibration that came from under his feet just now showed the power of that attack, and it didn't fall lightly on the city wall, but his own city wall was relatively solid and he carried it down.

If such an attack comes again, there is a high probability that it will not be able to be stopped, and if ten attacks are smashed on the city wall at the same time, then the city wall will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Qingteng felt that staying on the city wall was not a good choice.

"All soldiers, get down the walls, get out of the walls!"

Qingteng hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to come down the city wall, and although the soldiers did not understand, they still did so.

When the last soldier went down the city wall, the attack of the Don army came.

This time, a full seven shells landed on the city wall, and the earth-shattering sound of the impact made the soldiers feel cold all over their bodies, and if they hadn't stepped down the city wall just now, they might have been smashed into a puddle of mud by now.

But to the surprise of people on both sides, the wall had not yet collapsed.

It seems that Sanmiao City must have been glorious before, and the city walls were reinforced at that time, even if they are still very tough.

The soldiers of the Fire Bull Battalion were almost able to grasp the trajectory of the catapult, and this time they turned the angle of the catapult lower, and the rope on the winch was tighter and more powerful.

Ten attacks landed steadily on the city wall, this time the power was greater, and the city wall of Sanmiao finally couldn't withstand this huge force, and collapsed inward.

Fortunately, Qingteng had expected the city wall to collapse and retreated early, so he didn't cause any injuries.

The Sanmiao soldiers clenched the knives in their hands, and it stands to reason that the Tang army should rush forward at this time, but the Tang army did not come up for a long time.

Qing Teng suddenly thought of something, and shouted in a lianlian: "Retreat!" Retreat! ”

Before the words fell, the fourth round of attacks had arrived....
