That's right, Zhao Kuo had already prepared three types of wooden boxes for all catapults: large, medium, and small, which just corresponded to the enemies at three distances: far, medium, and near.

So far, none of the most powerful long-range wooden crates have yet to appear. If it is replaced with the largest and heaviest chest, the catapult can even directly smash the boulder into the camp of the front army when the Yan army was arrayed just now.

The reason why Zhao Kuo had to wait for the Yan army to reach the middle and long distances before decisively ordering to shoot was to hide a hand of cards, so that when Li Mu returned to encircle and annihilate the Yan army, he would give the Yan army a surprise, on the other hand, Zhao Kuo still wanted to leave all the siege equipment of the Yan army as much as possible at one time!

Only the Yan army, which is fully running, has no way back. Sure enough, with

The sound of "buzzing" sounded again behind the city tower, and there was a burst of sound outside the south gate

The sound of a "thump" instrument collapsing. In the forward army of the Yan Army, the screams and cries for help instantly rang out.

And above the city tower, almost all the soldiers of the Zhao army, including Sun Gu, couldn't help but open their mouths wide!

When did our catapult become so powerful? It's a smash! Just as he was amazed, another round of stone bullets appeared in the sky above the castle tower, compared with the previous two times, this time the stone bullets were obviously more and denser.

That's right, Zhao Kuo's artillery battalion finally started their salvo mode after some corrections! Immediately, one stone bullet after another frantically smashed on the Yan army's siege equipment!

Not only were the instruments destroyed, but the broken stones mixed with sharp wood chips engulfed almost all the Yan troops around them.

At the same time that almost every siege equipment was destroyed, the Yan army, which was as little as dozens or as many as hundreds, all hated it on the spot!

The lieutenant who served as the vanguard looked back when he heard the wail, but all he could see was a piece of billowing dust and smoke and a rain of blood in the sky, and the loss of the Yan army was great!

Du Wei understood that retreating at this time would only make him a target, and even if he didn't die under Zhao Jun's stone bullets, he would probably die under the general's sharp blade.

If you retreat without hearing the gold, you will be killed! Under Anping City, Yin Jian, the beheaded lieutenant is not far away. Gritting his teeth, the lieutenant quickly made up his mind: only by moving forward, approaching the city wall as soon as possible, and leaning close to the city wall could he avoid doom.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The lieutenant kept urging, and even divided a team of men and horses to cooperate

"Pull forward and push" the instruments. However, the length of the rope is limited after all, and the place where the instrument can push is even less, and no matter how much manpower there is, there is a limit, so the speed is really not up.

In desperation, the lieutenant had no choice but to order the archery tower, which had already been climbed, and the archers who were setting up their bows quickly went downstairs to reduce the weight of the arrow tower and speed up the speed.

He would rather his troops be exposed to the rain of arrows of the Zhao army and lose the first move, but also keep the last few arrow towers.

Otherwise, before the people reach the city wall, the siege equipment will be destroyed, what else is there to fight? It's a pity that although the vanguard lieutenant of the Yan army tried his best to make adjustments in time, it took time for the army's actions to be adjusted, and the stone bullets of the Zhao army kept smashing into the Yan army's camp all the time!

So except for a few arrow towers on both sides of the captain, because of the timely adjustment of the captain, they escaped by luck, and the rest of the arrow towers were quickly destroyed.

Of course, in absolute strength, luck is often not worth mentioning. Soon the few remaining arrow towers were not retained in the end.

It's not that the catapults in the city are doing it again, after all, they have advanced under the city walls, and even if the catapults want to do it again, it will take time to adjust.

It's a pity that the lieutenant, who was scared by the catapult, was obviously a little panicked. You must know that the arrow tower is different from the city car, and it does not need to be next to the city wall, but needs to be separated by more than ten or twenty meters to ensure the shooting distance.

Because of the distance of more than ten or twenty meters, the arrow tower did not take good fire prevention measures like a city car.

However, in order to avoid the attack of the stone bullets, this lieutenant actually pushed the two arrow towers that were lucky enough to escape more than ten meters forward, almost slapping Zhao Kuo's face.

This is a bit disrespectful to Zhao Kuo and Sun Gu on the city wall. On the top of the city tower, Zhao Kuo immediately glanced at Sun Gu, as if to say: What are you waiting for?

Immediately, Sun Gu understood, and without waiting for the Yan army's crossbowmen to re-ascend the arrow tower, he immediately ordered to smash the hot oil that was originally used to deal with the infantry into a clay pot!

Because it was so close, it took little effort, and the clay pot was already thrown on top of the tower.

I can only hear it

"Bang, bang!" The sound of clay pots bursting open on top of the arrow tower; And with that, that is

The movement of "Zi La ......", that is, the hot oil in the clay pot splashed out, and it was so hot that the waiting Yan Army archers howled for a while!

However, the nightmare of Yan Jun's archers had just begun, and torches and rockets had already been ignited in Zhao Jun's hands!

With a "whoosh", the torches and rockets crossed the air in an arc and fell on the turret. With

With a "poof", the flames rose into the sky, and the Yan soldiers who entered the arrow tower and its interior in an instant were engulfed in flames.

One by one, the fire men burst out of the tower, trying to seek the help of their former comrades. But on the battlefield, where was the water to extinguish the fire mixed with grease, and his former comrades tried to stay away from him as much as possible, for fear that they would also be stained with a star.

The wails and cries for help resounded again in the front army. Watching the rampage like a headless fly

The "Burning Ones", the vanguard lieutenant of the Yan Army had no choice but to order his own archers again to directly execute these Burning Men again!

One alleviates their pain, the other is to prevent their wailing from continuing to lower the already almost condensed morale, and of course, more than that, I am afraid that these living people will disrupt their own formation.

Just when the archers of the Yan army were helpless to shoot their comrades with arrows according to the order,

The sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" breaking the sky resounded in the ears, and the first round of arrow rain of the Zhao army had covered them, and the murderer was always killed.

The Yan soldiers, who were still sighing for the archers on the arrow tower just now, became the object of others' sighs and distress at this time.

And due to the burning of the arrow tower, the Yan soldiers had no choice but to retreat backwards, and the Yan army in the rear continued to advance for unknown reasons, so it was inevitable that the two sides of the men and horses were crowded together, but it just gave the archers of the Zhao army a chance to kill them!

After a rain of arrows, the vanguard of the Yan army had suffered heavy losses, but something that made the Yan army even more desperate happened, and before the Yan army could defend itself, the second round of arrow rain came again!

"Protection!" The vanguard of the Yan Army shouted! With the issuance of the general's order, the shield soldiers formed a formation one after another, protecting the Yan army in it.

At this time, the entire vanguard battalion was full of 20,000 elites, and before they could touch the walls of the city, they had already lost thousands of men and horses.

Du Wei hid behind the shield and listened carefully to the sounds around him, except for the clanging sound of Zhao Jun's bow and arrows, it was the non-stop wailing of his own Yan army.

In other words, their main general, General Qing Qin, wants them to continue to fight, without any heavy siege equipment!

There is not even a large ladder, how to climb the tower, how to fight again? Oh, wrong, there are still some, at least the flying ladders and bamboo ladders carried by manpower, because the target is small, but a lot of it has been preserved under the intensive fire of the catapult.

And the head of the city is not as unattainable as Handan City, whether it is a flying ladder or a bamboo ladder, it can still be climbed.

However, just relying on this thing to attack, it is just to consume the enemy's fortification materials with his life, and he can't have the slightest lethality for the soldiers of the Zhao army!

It's almost not much different from sending you to death. General Qing Qin, who is in the Chinese army and sees the battlefield in his eyes, why doesn't he know?

It's just that Qing Qin also has his thoughts: it's very simple, this first attack can be said to be the peak of morale, if you don't even touch the city wall, you will retreat in a hurry, and you won't have to fight the battle later.

Therefore, even if he goes to die, even if he has to pay a huge price, Qing Qin must let the follow-up army see the scene of his own landing on the head of the city.

Helpless, the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, although he is extremely reluctant in his heart, Qing Qin can only grit his teeth, reject Ming Jin's suggestion, and quietly wait for his own front army to make it

The "right" response. Although the lieutenant of the former army did not understand General Qing Qin's intentions very well, the military order was a military order, and there was no order to retreat, but it was an order to attack.

The lieutenant, who understood this, immediately stretched out the guards on the left and right, raised the sword in his hand, and continued to order to his soldiers: "Attack! The sergeants hesitated—

"Attack"? Shouldn't it be a retreat?! In today's situation, not only have all the siege equipment been lost, but even the sharpness of the attack has been exhausted by the Zhao army's several bursts of arrows.

However, the commander's order has been given, and there is nothing to say, just rush to kill! After a short period of confusion, the soldiers of the Yan army continued to muster up their courage and marched towards the city wall.

There are no large-scale siege ladders, as well as flying ladders and bamboo ladders carried by manpower, and you can still climb up to the city wall!

It's just that compared with the bulky ladder, the flying ladder and the bamboo ladder are much lighter, and only five or six people need to lift them to walk, and there are naturally many problems at the same time.

The first is that the angle of the hanging is much steeper than the ladder, which is not conducive to the attacker's climbing, but is more conducive to the defender to shoot down the enemy.

Secondly, the thin ladder is very easy to destroy by the enemy, and it cannot carry too much load, so there are not too many people climbing the ladder at the same time, which will also cause a gap in the attack.

But there is no way, let alone a flying ladder, even if it is a human ladder, you will be ordered, and you have to get on it!
