After this period of time, the data in Ma Shuo's brain domain has changed significantly.
With Cui Xiucheng's order, nearly a hundred catapults immediately revealed their hideous faces, and stones flew towards the barbarian army village with a whining sound.
Bang bang bang!
Nearly 100 basketball-sized rocks hit the ground with an astonishing sound. Although not all rocks hit the target, none of the stones that were hit did not end well. Whether it was a tent or a camp tent, it was directly smashed to pieces. Some unlucky barbarians were directly hit by stones, some had their heads blown up, some had broken bodies, and some had their waists cut off.
Ma Shuo's catapult is very advanced and easy to use, so it can produce stones quickly. Although there were less than 100 pieces per projection, the victory was constantly projected, batch after batch, and the rain of stones in the sky smashed the barbarians in the military village at once.
The stones that fall from the sky are very destructive. A lot of stones smashed on the wooden wall of the military village, and after a few clicks, large holes appeared in the wooden wall, and it would not be long before the wooden wall was smashed.
Once the wooden wall of the military village is broken, the military village will lose its effect.
It's just that in the face of the constantly falling stones, the barbarian leaders are also helpless, and some unlucky barbarian leaders have even been hit and lost their lives. There's no way, these falling stones don't know who you are, it's an indiscriminate attack.
However, in the end, the quality of the catapult was still not up to a sufficient level, because some parts had not yet had time to use iron materials, so after more than ten consecutive times, some catapults began to have problems and could not be used for the time being.
As a result, the density of the stone casts decreases considerably.
However, by this time, the role of catapults was enough.
"Siege—"
Choi so-sung ordered again.
Hula-
The soldiers, who had long been ready to go, carried the ladder, let go of their speed, and rushed towards the already tattered barbarian army. At the same time, some archers also launched an attack at the right time, assisting the siege soldiers to suppress the possible defensive attacks of the barbarians in the fortress.
As one of the first five infantry battalions, the soldiers were naturally much better equipped than the later battalions. The quality of the bows and arrows used by the archers is very high, as are the qualities of the archers themselves. Both their range and accuracy are remarkable.
In this way, with the assistance of hundreds of archers, the barbarians, who were already very panicked, did not organize a decent defense for a while, and it was not until the soldiers of the Golden Battalion carried the ladders and put them on the wall that some leaders reluctantly organized a few men and prepared to start resisting.
It's just that in this case, such resistance can no longer change the overall situation.
Kill!
As the soldiers of the golden battalion on the ladder continued to climb over the wooden wall and enter the interior of the military village, the fate of the barbarians guarding the inside of the military village was already doomed.
The wooden walls of the military village were already broken, and with the cooperation of the soldiers who entered it, a large section of the wooden wall was quickly and completely bulldozed.
"Cavalry sortie—"
Under the order of Guan Yun, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, the people of the Suzaku Battalion, who had already seven thousand horsemen, cheered, and with an earth-shattering formation, they rushed into the barbarian army village at once along the gap.
As the cavalry entered, the barbarians in the army quickly dispersed.
Originally, they had already been smashed by the stones in the sky, and before they could come to their senses, the murderous cavalry came over, resisting, and even lost their courage. Some of the barbarians simply fled in the other direction, where to take care of any defensive resistance.
At this time, these guys only regret that their parents gave birth to a pair of legs and feet.
Run!
Come on!
At this time, you don't want to run the fastest, just run faster than your companions. Dead friends are not dead and poor, as long as they are faster than their peers, the opportunity is their own.
The 5,000 people guarding the military village were eliminated without even making a splash.
Of the five thousand, almost a thousand were killed, a thousand escaped, and almost three thousand were taken prisoner.
Captives, according to custom, the big and small leaders inside will be cleared, and these unstable factors cannot be left. Not only that, but it doesn't make much sense for these guys to stay and work, it's a waste of food.
Placing prisoners, cleaning up the battlefield, and resting the soldiers, these things naturally don't need to be worried about by Ma Shuo anymore, and the various generals and captains will naturally do these things well.
The Wuzi battalion stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, repair the military village, and temporarily garrison the military village to control the intersection in case the barbarians turned around and escaped from here. The other battalions, under the leadership of the Suzaku Battalion, rushed towards the core area of the Hexi Corridor. The cavalry first went to Hanoi County in the three counties of Hexi. Hanoi County is located in the middle of the three counties of Hexi, as long as it is taken, the other two counties will be directly separated, and they will not be able to take care of each other.
Ma Shuo and some of the cavalry of the Qinglong Battalion did not follow the cavalry battalion, they followed behind the Jinzi Battalion, and the speed was not very fast.
"Father-in-law, I would like to hear your old man's opinion on the next action!"
The father-in-law in Ma Shuo's mouth is naturally Qi Jing's father, the former three-rank hussar general Qi Cheng. After these days of cultivation, Qi Cheng's appearance is completely different from when he first found him.
If you are in a good mood and your living conditions are better, whether it is your physical state or your mental temperament, it will naturally become different.
Qi Cheng was originally a military general, but after being a prisoner for so many years, he had long been suffocated. This time, when he heard that Ma Shuo was going on an expedition, the old man actually took the initiative to find his son-in-law and asked to come out with him.
If Qi Cheng didn't come to the door, Ma Shuo hadn't remembered for a while that his father-in-law was actually very good at the army. His subordinates are worried that there is no real general, and at this time, the old man took the initiative to come to the door, how could Ma Shuo have a reason to refuse.
However, although he was happy in his heart, Ma Shuo still had to refuse, because he still had to consider Qi Jing's thoughts. After all, Qi Cheng is not young anymore, and more importantly, he has suffered a lot over the years, and his physical deficit should be not small.
Ma Shuo wanted to be a little polite on the grounds of Qi Jing, but Qi Jing actually agreed with his father's idea.
So, on this trip to the Hexi Corridor, there was one more person in the team!
