Chapter 125: Corpse Moat
The barbarians rushed to the edge of the moat and were forced to pause.
The barbarian soldiers behind were still charging to keep up, and for a while, the barbarian soldiers on the riverside seemed to be crowded, and quickly became dense.
"Bumper Bumper ......"
"Tweet Tweet ......"
The gunfire continued, and countless bullets with countless arrows greeted the barbarians.
Countless barbarian soldiers were shot or arrowed and fell to the ground as corpses. The crowd loosened up for a while, and then it was turned into a dense crowd by the barbarian soldiers rushing up from behind.
The speed at which bullets and arrows dredge up is simply not as fast as the speed at which the barbarian soldiers who catch up behind them fill in. Let the barbarian soldiers here always be kept in a dense state.
In the past, barbarian soldiers had to pass through moats when attacking cities, and they even had special training for crossing moats. Therefore, it is very skillful to operate.
The difference is that in the past, when they were attacking the city, there were shield soldiers in front of them to help carry it. It was only the bows and arrows that came from the city walls.
Now, instead of shields, they are also exposed to fire and arrows.
Moreover, if they want to survive now, they will have to cross the moat faster than before.
That's so hard compared to what it used to be.
Under the persecution of those firearms and bows and arrows, under the threat of death.
The barbarian soldiers are moving much faster than before, ignoring the threat of firearms and bows.
With skillful cooperation, several ladders were quickly lowered, and the head and tail were erected on the banks of the river on both sides, and they immediately became bridges for them to cross the moat.
These ladders can climb directly to the city wall more than 30 meters high, and a large section grows on the river banks on both sides.
In this process, countless barbarian soldiers were shot and arrows and lay directly on the shore, and many of them fell into the moat, and the river soon turned red.
The more barbarian soldiers around them were shot and fell, the more their desire to survive was aroused.
Their eyes were red, and they ran frantically across the ladder bridge.
The more frantic the barbarian soldiers, the faster the gunfire sounded, and the arrows flew densely on the ground, and countless barbarian soldiers fell into the moat after being shot and arrows.
The distance between the moat and the wall is generally the best kill distance, which was specially designed by the builders.
The best kill distance here is the bow and arrow, so here, the archer is not much inferior to the brute to the fire?
And the musketeers shoot here, both at the distance and at the angle.
Therefore, at this moment, whether it is a firecracker or an archer, they are secretly holding their breath, and they must kill more than the other party.
At this moment, the barbarian soldiers are too miserable, and it is okay to attack the city without any protective measures. It even ran into a unit with such a powerful long-range firepower.
Although the moat is not very wide, it is not easy to walk on the ladder.
Once there are too many people going up, it will be cut off directly, and everyone will fall into the moat together, and they will all go together to be difficult brothers and sisters to receive boxed lunches together.
Even if the ladder continues, bullets and arrows will not hit them. This thing is wobbly on the river, and if they want to run over it quickly and not fall off the moat, they have to depend on their fate.
In this case, as long as a barbarian soldier is shot or arrowed, it may cause other barbarian soldiers to fall into the river.
In the moat, there is not only water, but also countless barbs installed in the water.
Regardless of whether you are shot or not, as long as you fall into the river, you will basically be pierced by barbs, and there is no possibility of coming up alive at all.
Despite the difficult road ahead, the desire to survive forced the barbarian soldiers to risk their lives for their lives.
Running, pulling, and the ladder bridge under their feet shook violently, countless barbarian soldiers either alone, or in twos and threes, or in groups of three or five, or even piles and piles fell into the moat.
The river has long since turned crimson. The moat, which is only ten or twenty meters wide, has left the lives of countless barbarian soldiers here.
The moat, only ten or twenty meters wide, is the place where the barbarian soldiers left the most corpses on the charging road.
As the corpses continued to fall into the river, the blood in the moat began to rise, and gradually, it rose to the shore.
Later, the barbarians who rushed up from behind were surprised to find that the entire moat was filled with corpses.
That way, they don't have to cross the river on that damn ladder bridge again. As long as you step on the corpses of your comrades, you can run directly across the river.
At this time, no one will have the heart to feel sorry for these dead comrades.
Yes, only joy and excitement.
Because it is definitely much easier to rush over by stepping on the corpses of these comrades-in-arms than stepping on a ladder bridge to cross the moat. The odds of surviving are much higher.
At this time, their only thought was to rush forward desperately, rush to the bottom of the city wall, and not have to be a target for these firecrackers.
It turned out that the moat, which was filled with corpses, could no longer stop the footsteps of the barbarian soldiers.
Countless barbarian soldiers rushed across the moat as fast as they could in their lives. Then he ran frantically towards the city walls.
Gradually, more and more barbarian soldiers rushed across the river.
Although there were many barbarian soldiers who crossed the river, they seemed to be scattered in the eyes of those firecrackers.
The accuracy of this kind of firearm is not high, and it is easy to hit those densely packed people. But these scattered individuals are not so easy to hit.
The firecrackers tried to shoot a few shots at the individual barbarian soldiers who had crossed the river and were already running under the city walls, but found it difficult to hit Zheng
Many of the musketeers felt that this was too much of a waste of bullets, and simply ignored the scattered guys in front of them.
Or continue to shoot the dense barbarians in the back.
In this way, at least they can kill more enemies, and they all feel that it is more cost-effective to kill them this way.
The same is true of the archers, who are all fighting for the purpose of giving the enemy a greater kill.
At this time, their more than 6,000 firecrackers are the masters of the battlefield, and they are the killing gods who kill people until their hands cramp.
Although the archers killed less than the firecrackers, they were definitely the number two killers in this battle.
However, the spring of these two god-killing gods passed quickly.
As the archers and cavalry behind the barbarians approached the moat, they stopped and began to fire arrows at the walls.
As the barbaric arrows flew up the city wall in dense numbers, many firecrackers fell to the ground with arrows, and casualties began to appear.
When a firecracker falls, a Water Battalion soldier picks up his gun and takes his place.
There were so many barbarian archers that they hid behind a row of heavy shields and frantically threw arrows at the walls, which were densely packed and swooped down on the walls.
They were protected by heavy shields, and the archers of the Yan army had no way to hold them.
The firebolts could pierce their shields, but when these abominable archers came up, the arrows rained down too densely.
It became more and more difficult for the Musketeers to shoot, and if they showed a little more of their head and body, they could be shot.
