It didn't take long for the void on the battlefield caused by the cavalry of Border Pass City to be filled by the infantry that swarmed up again, and although all the dreadnought Empire side, including Worf, knew that the damn Border City cavalry did not know when they would attack again, they still kept moving forward to fill every space on the battlefield with the flesh and blood of their warriors again.

There is only one reason, if you can't continue to maintain a high-pressure siege posture, then it won't take long for all the effects of consumption in the early stage to gradually weaken to zero.

In fact, no matter how fast the Dreadnought's follow-up echelon impact was, with such a time buffer of about half an hour, the defenders at the head of the border pass city had almost recovered to the state before the battle was launched.

The soldiers were given a short rest, supplies were replenished, and even some of the areas damaged by the war were roughly repaired, and the key was that all the warriors on the city walls were filled with the conviction of victory after witnessing the wonderful cooperation of the longbow and cavalry teams.

Almost half an hour later, the border gate city was reborn like a phoenix that had gone through calamity, and the soldiers swept away the previous decadence, and there was no doubt about winning this war!

This transformation of the defenders on the city wall was directly reflected in the next battle, and the fearless imperial soldiers who came up again one after another were no longer as smooth as before, and often before they could climb to the top of the city, they were pushed down by several Zhan Er who cooperated with them with all their might.

You must know that if you want to knock down the ladder, you must go all out, throw away your weapons, use your hands hard, and you need at least six or seven soldiers to work together to do it, especially at the last moment of knocking down the ladder, most of your body will lean out of the city wall, and the danger can be imagined.

But now there is little need for the garrison generals to agitate in the city. As long as there is a ladder stand, several soldiers will immediately throw away their weapons and huddle in one place, and work together to knock down the ladder, completely leaving their own safety to the other brothers.

This change in the defenders at the head of the city was quickly fed back to Worf, which made him hate it and at the same time, he couldn't help but be shocked by this morale, since the battle started in the morning until now, it has long been past lunch time, but the Dreadnought Empire has suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. There was no result.

However, at this time, Wolf still had firm confidence in achieving the final victory, because at this moment, the remaining nearly 170,000 troops of the Dreadnought Empire still had the advantage, but this advantage could not be shown.

Wolf is not a straw bag, and the main problem in front of him now is how to use the huge military power of the Dreadnought Empire in the narrow battlefield in front of him, otherwise, with the current refueling tactics, even if he wins in the end, it will be a crushing victory.

In the event of fruitless deliberation, Wolf had no better way. After staring at the situation of the battlefield for a while, he began to order, "Order, the archers come forward." It is a kilometer away from the border gate city, and a long-range attack on the city wall is launched! Order, the craftsman battalion goes forward, five kilometers away from the border pass city. Set up a trebuchet camp and set up trebuchets as fast as you can! Guard the trebuchet camp and make sure nothing goes wrong!" Order, the baggage battalion will send all the mules and horses, and pull the siege carts to the top of the steep slope at any cost!"

With a series of orders from Worf, the vast Dreadnought Imperial military camp began to operate with great efficiency, and the commanded camps were constantly moving, a large number of mules and horses assembled in front of the assault preparation line, and twenty huge siege engines were dragged behind the long reins.

In fact, if it weren't for this huge steep slope in front of the border pass city, there would have been more large-scale siege equipment, but even so, the twenty siege vehicles hanging on the giant trees would have brought great damage to the border gate city as long as they were transported to the steep slope.

Not only can these siege engines attack the fragile gates, but they can also be extremely destructive to the seemingly impregnable walls!

Not to mention these siege vehicles that were slowly climbing upwards by mules and horses, Ling Xiao's attention was already attracted by the trebuchets deployed under his nose. To be honest, I have seen these primitive attack weapons countless times in the film and television works of my previous life, but this is the first time I have seen the real thing.

The trebuchets, all made of long wooden zuò, gradually came to light under the work of the artisan battalion, with a seemingly sturdy-looking triangular base supporting a huge rocker arm with a thick rope at one end and a large leather bag at the other.

Although the overall look is very bulky, but its attack power is very strong, the bag is loaded with stones collected on the spot, when used, dozens of strong men pull the rope together, the rocker arm is raised high, and fixed on a wooden stake, after the shooting order is given, loosen the stake fixing bolt, the rocker arm falls quickly under the action of gravity, driving the bag to form a circular motion, and the stone in the bag will be adjusted and thrown out along the circumferential tangent under the action of centrifugal force.

The projectile distance formed by the huge rocker arm was very long, and it could be seen from the fact that the dreadnought Empire had set the firing line at a distance of five thousand meters from the border gate, and this trebuchet could throw at least five thousand meters away.

However, the boulder where Ling Xiao was located was also five thousand meters away from the walls of Border Gate, which happened to be on the same level as these trebuchets.

Although the trebuchet had only begun to be assembled little by little under the work of the craftsman's battalion, Ling Xiao knew that once the trebuchet was successfully assembled, it would pose a huge threat to the border city.

Unfortunately, before Ling Xiao could figure out any way to deal with the trebuchet, another imminent problem that needed to be solved immediately was already presented to him.

Trebuchets need boulders as projectiles, and what better stone than the boulder that Ling Xiao is in. Not far from the trebuchet, it looks very large, and when broken, it can supply almost three trebuchets in continuous use.

Therefore, while the artisan battalion set up the trebuchet, the warriors in charge of finding the stone had already set their eyes on this boulder, Ling Xiao did not dare to move on the top, but the bottom was already clanging, constantly breaking the stone surface, chiseling down large and small stones.

In fact, in terms of combat readiness alone, the Dreadnought Empire's side was far more prepared than the Border Pass City coalition army. And it also seems more reasonable in the organization of the battle.

Not to mention the food burning operation that started just after camping, even a series of actions after the siege battle all reflected Worf's excellent combat command ability.

Whether it was the trial of the sin camp at the beginning or the follow-up Blood Tiger Banner battle method, it was all well organized. There is no confusion, and the series of actions that are currently being carried out are the best way to deal with it under the influence of the terrain in front of the border gate.

The archers came out to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, and the siege engines were powerless in front of the steep slopes, and even the strongest soldiers could not drag the bulky guys to the walls, but Worf came up with the idea of using a large number of logistics mules and horses.

In the last battle, the cavalry had lost its original role, but Wolf used it to guard the trebuchet camp. Even the trebuchet camp was set up with full consideration for the maximum distance that the cavalry of the border city could reach during the last assault.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the archers suppressed, the siege vehicles rushed to the front of the city walls. It will cause great damage to the walls of the border city, even if the siege vehicles are eventually destroyed, and there is a huge threat of trebuchets.

Not only can trebuchets wreak havoc on walls, but they can also cause great damage to people, and most importantly, trebuchets are a psychological deterrent to an instrument of war that no other attack can have.

Think about it, no matter how high your morale is, no matter how desperate your warriors are, watching huge stones fall from the sky and have nowhere to hide. Blocking and unstopping, the psychological sense of helplessness can even completely break the determination of the defenders to resist desperately!

On the other hand, on the side of the border city coalition army, although it seems that it has won a series of victories at present, it is basically in a state of passive coping. It can only be a move, once it can't resist the dreadnought empire's various attack tactics, it will immediately be the result of the city's defeat and defeat.

Ling Xiao understood this consequence, and Liu Wenyuan in the border gate city also understood this consequence. I watched the enemy army begin to deploy the final killing move step by step. But there is nothing that can be done.

And Liu Wenyuan and Wang Xin, who knew Ling Xiao's location, were even more worried, they also saw Ling Xiao's situation, and watched the boulder being chiseled apart little by little. I knew in my heart that Ling Xiao's safe time was running out, and if he couldn't find a way to get out, Ling Xiao was very likely to fall into the hands of the enemy!

Through the contact with the drunken Taoist, Liu Wenyuan gradually understood the importance of Ling Xiao, and also knew the cause of this war, he knew that if Ling Xiao fell into the hands of the enemy, then it meant that the coalition side of this war had lost.

Rescue is Liu Wenyuan's determination, but how to rescue is to plan well!

The effect of the cavalry's impact had just been seen in his eyes, and it was only a kilometer away from where Ling Xiao was hiding, but even this short kilometer was like a natural danger that could not be crossed between Border Pass City and Ling Xiao at will.

However, if you don't try it, no one knows whether it will be successful or not, and Liu Wenyuan, who has made up his mind, summoned a group of masters, including Drunken Daoren, Wang Xin, and Zhao Liuxing, and the cavalry generals to improve the rescue plan.

And at this time, Ling Xiao also came up with an idea of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle! That is, to take the initiative, since there is no way to return to the border gate city lightly, and he is now getting closer and closer to being exposed, it is better to take the initiative and find a way to create chaos, and see if the border gate city can cooperate with him.

If you can't cooperate, then it's nothing more than death, and you can also relieve some pressure on the defenders of the border gate city because of your own initiative!

Yes, Ling Xiao's idea was to attack the trebuchet! Although the trebuchet has great attack power, it is not invulnerable, first of all, it is an all-wooden structure, which has no protection against fire at all, and even in order to increase the wear and tear resistance of the wood, these wooden frames are also soaked in secret oil.

The second is that the most important attack part of the trebuchet is the bag, and the rope connecting the bag is so fragile that Ling Xiao has full confidence that it will be broken with an arrow!

Ling Xiao, who had made up his mind, began to prepare for his attack with a hint of determination. Twenty trebuchets prepared twenty wind feather arrows with Danzong's explosive battle pills, and opened them in a row! Before destroying the trebuchet, Ling Xiao still thought about using the other party's trebuchet.

And what Ling Xiao needs to grasp is the timing of the shot!(To be continued......
