Chapter 956: Lejia's private army attacked the city for the first time
"Put!" "Put!" "Put!"
Wow, wow, wow, boom.
Clouds of arrows and fiery oil cans flew in an arc towards the city.
"Archer, shoot the oil canister that can be smashed on the city wall, and the others will hide it for me!" Xue Chong held a gun in one arm, and looked at the city at the battlement.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen attack points in the main gate tower of Hengfu City flew out of the black line, and in the middle of the oil tank that was behind the arrow cloud, more than a dozen fireballs exploded in the air.
The first rain of arrows fell on the city, and some of the wooden places* had to be like hedgehogs, and where other stones were built, arrows fell to the ground.
Knock, knock, knock, seven or eight oil canisters smashed on the front of the city wall because the height was not enough, and a few fires hung on the fifty-meter-high city wall.
"Why don't our archers attack first? Shaodianluan was watching from the top floor of the city tower, and Ding Kun and Qian Bu were standing on both sides.
"Hengfu City has carried out many performances before, without the participation of magicians in the attack, these attack forces cannot cause damage, the city's armor reserves are limited, we must use it as efficiently as possible, and the first attack will not hurt a few enemy soldiers. Qian Bu explained to the eldest princess.
The reinforcement of Hengfu City was designed by Qian Bu, and he knew very well how strong the city wall could withstand the attack.
The attacking party's Lejia private army was not without magicians, but there were also more than twenty people standing in the air above the castle tower, three of whom were wearing white magic robes. In fact, there are five tower mages on the attacking side, but they know that there are sixth-level combat power in the city, how dare they get too close.
"Adjust the distance and prepare for the second wave of attacks. The commander of his own country gave the order at the top of his voice.
The open space on the other side of the city gate was less than 100 meters wide, and the Lejia private army barely set up 20 trebuchets and discharged 2,000 archers in front, which was the largest force that could attack Hengfu City.
A few hundred meters away from the rear, several leaders of the Jiangzhou Theater watched the battle from the platform.
"The mud on both sides can't be filled with anything, and so many boulders sank yesterday before they reach the end. ”
Lang Chun's expression was a little embarrassed, and yesterday he patted his chest to ensure that he could widen the attack zone.
This is one of the most terrifying characteristics of the swamp, whether birds, beasts or humans fall into it, they can't get out, you can imagine how surprised Ding Kui was when he found the big grassland.
"It would be great if Master Ge was still there, a forbidden spell smashed over, and the city wall would have to collapse if it didn't collapse, alas. Jiman's heart began to ache again.
"When the North Route Army finishes building a large camp, they will go to those Shaodian people to transport stones over, and as long as they keep smashing, they will always smash a hole. Gong Jun was secretly dissatisfied with the eldest prince's demoralization of his side.
"Wouldn't those archers waste their arrows by shooting like that? I don't see a single one in the city. I didn't hear the sarcasm hidden in Gong Jun's words.
"No, without the threat of those arrows, the defenders will attack our trebuchets. Le Pi sighed in his heart, Gong Jun was secretly rolling his eyes, this prince seemed to have led soldiers, but he didn't know much about basic tactics.
"Put!" "Put!" "Put!"
Wow, wow, wow, boom.
Arrow clouds and oil canisters flew towards the city again.
"Does it make sense for them to attack like this?" Shaodianluan watched for half an hour, and the more he watched, the more bored he became.
Again and again, their own men shot arrows and threw oil cans, but did no damage to the defenders.
"Meaningful," Liu Yu also came to the top floor of the castle tower, "only the enemy attack will bring us physical and psychological pressure, the troops responsible for guarding the city wall will consume physical strength, and the people in the city will be unstable."
This is only a tentative attack by the enemy, and the real siege force is waiting behind the trebuchet. He pointed to the phalanx behind the trebuchet, "As soon as we let up, those cannon fodder troops will rush up and build bridges." ”
Shaodian Luan really didn't learn the knowledge of marching and arranging formations, Shaodian Huan cultivated her as an heir, the key is to cultivate her fighting spirit, the sooner she advances, the sooner she steps into a high combat power level, you don't need to learn the things on the side.
"That's right. When she heard that the enemy had a follow-up move, she immediately became energetic.
Last time in Muddy Water Town, she faced a Warcraft siege, where there are so many human tactics, this time it can be regarded as a real experience of siege warfare.
After another half hour or so, Qian Bu suddenly said, "The real archers have come up." ”
The first group of archers under the city was evacuated in whole groups, and a new group of archers from the rear entered the attack position.
"How does Qian always know that there are real archers coming up now?" Shao Dianluan asked without understanding, in her opinion, there was no difference between the two groups of archers.
"Look at the arrows in their quivers, there was only one type of arrow in the quiver in the beginning, and the real archers need to use armor-piercing arrows, demon-breaking arrows, and ordinary heavy arrows, and now the archers who come up are equipped with these kinds of arrows. "Qian Bu's eyes are small, but they can see very clearly.
"Oh, the right side is ready, Kong Wei's reaction is very fast. Liu Yu is observing the situation of the city's defense.
On both sides of the main gate of Hengfu City, two protruding arrow towers are built, which are a bit like two tiger teeth, so they are called left teeth and right teeth. Kong Wei is responsible for the guard of the right tooth, commanding a large group of quasi-soldiers, the arrow tower can only accommodate about 200 people, and a brigade is responsible for all-weather defense.
On the second floor, Zhong Wei's flag was waving, signaling the left and right teeth to prepare to attack.
The commander of the city defense army of Hengfu City is concurrently the commander of the training camp, and now all the troops in the city are under the command of Zhong Wei, but he has to listen to Qian Bu, the mayor of Hengfu City, and Qian Bu is under the leadership of the lord's wife.
The commander of the Giant Sheep City City Defense Army withdrew to become the commander of the temporary infantry regiment, Xue Chong was responsible for directing the battle on the wall, and when he saw the flag waving, he immediately ordered: "All of them, prepare for a long-range attack!"
Some soldiers drew arrows, some soldiers held their throwing guns, some soldiers pulled the baskets full of stones closer, some soldiers drew throwing axes, and so on, all kinds of sounds converged and broke the original silence on the wall.
The soldiers defending the city do not necessarily use bows and arrows when attacking from a distance, as long as they can kill and injure the enemy, the key is to have a long continuous attack ability, and bows and arrows have the most advantage in this regard.
"Put!" "Put!" "Put!"
The private army attacked again, but the infantry phalanx behind the trebuchet suddenly moved, and two groups of soldiers rushed to the drawbridge with shields in hand.
There are two suspension bridges at the entrance of Hengfu City, one on the north bank and one on the south bank, the suspension bridge on the south bank has been pulled up, and the suspension bridge on the north bank has long been demolished, leaving only the iron frame.
If the Lejia private army wants to attack the city wall, they must first cross the river, the fastest way to cross the river is to build a pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge should not be too long, it is best to put down the suspension bridge on the north bank as a fulcrum, but before that, the bridge plate should be installed.
As soon as the rain of arrows shot from under the city landed, Kong Wei's shout "release" came from the right tooth.
Boom, the booms of the two trebuchets were raised high, and two stones the size of a water tank flew out.
The left tooth also flew out two rocks after a few breaths.
The tower can only accommodate two trebuchets, but they have the largest range and angle of attack, and are able to block the attack zone below the city.
"Attack at will!" Xue charged his gun, and pointed out his spear to attack an enemy soldier with a shield raised.
Boom, the shouts of the defenders exploded at the top of the wall, and arrows, throwing spears, throwing axes, stones, swords, and spears rained down, and more stones flew out from behind the wall.
"Shoot your arrows!Attack freely!" the commander of the archers under the city also opened his throat and ordered.
The defenders of the city began to counterattack, and naturally they had to come out of the concealment point and enter the attack field of the archers under the city.
Ding, Zhang Xiaoxiao's helmet was shot, and the momentum brought him to the ground, "Phew!" he spat and shook his head vigorously, "It's dizzy." ”
"Xiao Shrimp first go to the bunker and rest for a while, drink saliva, and come to fight again after relieving himself!" Zhang Xiao Xia's squad leader found out that he was wrong.
"Oh. After Zhang Xiaoxiao crawled back to the bunker on the ground, a comrade-in-arms was shot away just now, and he also crawled back like this.
"Fortunately, you are wearing a fine armor helmet, that arrow should have been shot by a late wind listening archer, and the ordinary helmet had already been shot through. A veteran covered his chest and said to Zhang Xiaoxiao that he had just been hit by an arrow in the chest and had to go back to the bunker to rest.
"What about the one who shot you? Brother Wu, you see you're vomiting blood. Zhang Xiaoxiao unscrewed the lid of the kettle and poured a few mouthfuls of water.
"Take it easy, we'll stay until noon, and don't finish drinking the water so quickly. The one who shot me was also a wind archer, because I wanted to kill a shield player so hard that I didn't have time to retract my body. The veteran Brother Wu rubbed his chest through the fine armor, "Without this armor, I'm done." ”
"Fortunately, Madame agreed to allow all the would-be soldiers guarding the castle to change into fine armor, otherwise we would not have been able to wear such good armor. Zhang Xiaoxiao screwed the lid of the kettle and put away the kettle, "Is the shield hand dead?"
"Hehe, insert through the chest, ten points of merit in hand. Cough, cough, cough. Brother Wu was excited about the wound.
Brother Wu looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao's concerned eyes, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, just take a rest, there are more merits below." ”
A soldier ran over, grabbed Brother Wu's wrist and took his pulse for a while, and listened to his chest again, and then said, "Old Wu, your injuries can't continue to fight, go down to the city and report to the wounded barracks by yourself." ”
"Dr. Li, there is no mistake, right? I can persevere!"
"Don't listen? Then I'll report to the captain. ”
"Listen, listen, listen, don't worry, I'll go down to the city in a meeting and promise to report to the wounded barracks. Brother Wu immediately put on a smiling face.
Doctor Li no longer paid attention to Brother Wu, turned around to support Zhang Xiaoxiao, rolled his eyelids and looked at his tongue, checked for a while, and said, "You sit here for a while, and wait until you are sober before going to fight, understand?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded violently despite his dizziness, for fear that Dr. Li would change his mind and let him go to the city.
"Whoa!"
Cheers were heard from ahead.
"Zhang Xiaoxiao, Deputy Director Wan has avenged you!" the team leader shouted in front.
Zhang Xiaoxiao probed out of the bunker, only to see Wan Ban put away his bow and arrow with satisfaction, and the cat lowered his waist and moved to another place.
The trebuchet was operated behind the city wall by the city management bureau, and Wan Ban was responsible for leading the team and proofreading the landing point of the trebuchet.
