Seeing the miserable scene on the shut, Li Ru said with palpitations: "This stone throwing machine, so powerful, how did this thing be studied?" turned his head to look at Qi Tiandao: "General Qi, it's not a way to go on like this, let the sergeants hide under the city wall for the time being, and I don't believe that this stone throwing machine can shoot non-stop." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Qi Tian nodded and said, "It's okay, dodge for a while, let the forward troops of the coalition army come forward, and when the time comes, the chaotic army will definitely not throw boulders again." ”

After receiving Qi Tian's order, the defenders of the pass retreated behind the wall and used the heavy walls to protect themselves. However, the improved stone throwing machine of Yuan Qi is far more powerful than people expected.

Peng Peng Peng -

Another burst of boulders was thrown and smashed against the wall. Huang Yong, who commanded the stone thrower, was a well-known archer, and he keenly observed that the defenders at the pass had shrunk behind the city wall, so before giving the order to throw the boulder, he specially ordered the sergeant to adjust the angle and slightly lower the arc of the projectile.

The boulder with the size of the millstone fell fiercely with the wind and thunder again, and this time the target was no longer the corridor for people to stand in the pass, but the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, which was known as a natural danger!

Bang Bang Bang -

One after another boulders smashed on the wall, smashing the city wall built with rocks, sparks on the solid city wall, and several boulders hit the city wall in the same position, and even there was a slight crack, and a trace amount of stones were smashed from the city wall to decompose, and the bones fell to the city.

Some of the defenders who were originally next to the city wall were affected by the huge anti-seismic force, and the five organs of the earthquake were out of place, and blood was spraying wildly from their mouths. Despite this, most of the defenders still leaned their bodies against the walls and vomited blood from the shock, which was much better than being smashed into meatloaf?

After two more rounds of projectiles, the trebuchet finally stopped in the terror of the defenders. Because, the forward troops led by Sun Jian were about to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Four rounds! Counting from the time when the forward troops began to attack, the stone thrower commanded by Huang Yong carried out a total of four rounds of projectiles. Compared with the previous time when Yuyang was played in Youzhou, the efficiency of the stone thrower has increased by another round. Don't underestimate this extra round of projectiles, from three rounds to four rounds, although it is just a simple number superposition, but it is integrated into the countless days and nights of hard work of Yuan Qi.

After four rounds of projectiles, it not only created a fighter plane close to the city wall for Sun Jian's forward troops, but also formed an effective psychological suppression of the defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass, and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders. At this moment, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the tiger prison, most of which had been smashed into meatloaf and mixed with other meatloaf, making it impossible to tell which corpse belonged to which person.

Such a tragic scene made the brave and warlike Xiliang warriors feel a burst of shock, and even some recruits couldn't bear the panic in their hearts, and they threw up loudly while holding on to the city wall. Vomiting, like a plague, quickly spread from one person or two to a hundred, two hundred, or more. Many recruits or veterans with poor psychological quality began to vomit wildly.

Seeing this situation, Qi Tian said coldly: "Where is Gao Shun?"

Pressing the hilt of the sword, with an unsmiling look on his face, Gao Shun walked in front of Qi Tian with a steady step: "Gao Shun is here!"

Stretched out his finger and pointed at the sergeants who vomited wildly, Qi Tian said without any emotion: "Immediately let them stand up straight for Benhou, and if there are any more vomiters, behead!"

"No!" Gao Shun replied in a loud voice, leading his eight hundred elites towards the vomiting soldiers. These 800 people are elite infantry soldiers trained by Gao Shun, known as the "trapped camp". Don't look at the only 800 people, but its means are so powerful, the coordination is exquisite, and it is enough to top 5,000 people on the battlefield, it can be said that Gao Shun's 800 camps are not inferior to the elite infantry of Yuan Qi, and even the quality of individual soldiers is higher than that of the ground camp, but the number is not much.

can single-handedly bring out such an elite as the trapped camp, Gao Shun is very good at leading soldiers. In less than half a column of incense, most of the soldiers who had vomited had straightened their bodies again, and only a few dozen of them were still vomiting. For the sake of the overall situation, Gao Shun coldly cut off the heads of more than a dozen people. Seeing Gao Shun's ruthless methods, the hearts of the other defenders were shocked, and they hurriedly took out their best mental state, for fear that Gao Shun would target him.

As soon as Gao Shun contained the wind of vomiting, Sun Jian's vanguard had already erected a ladder and began to officially attack the city. Sun Jian stood one hundred and fifty steps away from the Tiger Prison Pass, loudly commanding the officers and men of the coalition army to attack together, and cooperated with each other to launch the first wave of impact on the Tiger Prison Pass. Sun Ce wore a golden crown on his head and stood beside Sun Jian with a gun, as for Sun Ren and Sun Shangxiang, because the siege battle was the most tragic battle, Sun Jian did not let her follow, but stayed in the camp in the rear, and Huang Gai protected her safety.

"Auxiliaries, hang cowhides! Block bows and arrows! Sword and shield hands, erect shields! Block the gap for the coalition army to enter the city! Rush to the front, and stab the coalition army's ladder to Ben Hou! Crossbowman, shoot at the crashing car under the gate!" Qi Tian issued one order after another in an orderly manner.

The rows of defenders obeyed Qi Tian's orders and began to carry out their respective tasks according to the different types of troops. The soldiers on both sides began to confront each other head-on, which meant that the killing was kicked off.

The people of Xiliang are good at riding and are even better at using spears. It is known as the spear and horseman. This point is vividly reflected in Ma Yue's body. The sought-after men of Xiliang who defended the city, after receiving Qi Tian's order, raised their spears one after another, and stabbed down hard towards a section of the ladder on the city wall, although they could not directly knock over the ladder, but it still caused a shaking of the ladder, so that the coalition soldiers who were climbing the ladder could not climb up smoothly, and even some people lost their center of gravity by shaking, fell from the high ladder, and brought a series of calls for help in the air, and finally slammed and fell to death under the tiger prison.

The crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army, who were also unwilling, bent their bows and arrows, and shot indiscriminately at the pass. The equipment of the coalition army will naturally not be as sophisticated as the sergeants under the command of Yuan Qi, and the armor is not uniform, because of the restrictions of the times, so many princes are reluctant to assign the weapons and armor cast from copper and iron to an ordinary soldier to use, which leads to the fact that many coalition soldiers have very simple weapons and equipment, and it is good to have a thin leather armor to wear. Because of this, the arrows shot down by the Xiliang army pierced the bodies of one coalition army after another, knocking down the coalition troops who were trying to climb upwards and knocking them down the ladder.

Seeing that the vanguard in the front was frustrated, Gongsun Ruyun, who was the second echelon, immediately shouted loudly: "White horse righteous servants, all disperse, and suppress the arrows at the tiger prison juncture!" Five thousand white horse righteous servants whistled one after another, and then instigated the war horse, began to run, and after finding the target at the head of the city in the run, it would suddenly brake sharply, let the sitting war horse stand firmly on the spot, and then quickly bend the bow and arrow, and shoot towards the target found in advance. Bai Ma Yi has always been a good hand carefully selected by Gongsun Ruyun, and the accuracy and speed of their archery are really not to be picked. One by one, with a whistling of sharp arrows, they flew straight up to the Tiger Prison Pass, shooting Bai Ma Yi from the targets they had locked in advance one by one. The screams sounded at the gate, and the Xiliang soldiers who were taken as prey were unknowingly shot by the flying arrows, screaming and falling to the ground, or falling from the city wall, and falling to pieces.

Seeing the accuracy of Bai Ma Yicong's archery, Qi Tian immediately shouted: "Hou Cheng! command the sergeants to hide behind the hanging cowhide." Ugong Xing, you go and command the crossbowmen and wait for an opportunity to fight back!" "Hou Cheng and Ugong Xing were originally generals of the Bingzhou Army, and after Ding Li's death, they took refuge in Qi Tian with Gao Shun and others. In addition, Wei Xu, Song Xian and several others also took refuge in Qi Tian, and were known as the eight strong generals under Qi Tian.

Qi Tian's command immediately had the desired effect. Hou Cheng and his soldiers took refuge behind the cowhides and continued to stab their spears at the coalition ladders, while Unomiya was a well-known archer in the Namashu army, and his crossbowmen shot back with arrows while dodging.

The situation was soon reversed, and most of the arrows shot by the White Horse Servants were blocked by the cowhides hanging on the top of the city, and only a small part of them hit the defenders on the head of the city along the gap between the cowhides. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army, under the leadership of the archer of Unomiya Xing, condescended, and began a fierce counterattack against the vanguard of the front led by Sun Jian and the white horse Yicong who was not far away, and a large number of arrows flew down from the city with the wind, so that Sun Jian's department and the white horse Yicong had a lot of casualties.

In the Central Military Department of the coalition army, after Jia Yuan saw Qi Tian's way of defending the city, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to Yuan Qi: "Lord, your eldest brother is very powerful." Yuan Qi's face, which was covered by the dragon mask, also showed a knowing smile, and muttered: "Big brother can also use tactics, which is really gratifying." “

Ugong Terulie, who was not far from Yuan Qi, also observed the unfavorable situation, walked to Yuan Qi's side and said: "Alliance leader, I didn't expect that this Qi Tian is not only brave, but also an expert in arranging troops, which should not be underestimated." Is it time for our army to change its tactics? ”

Yuan Qi nodded, and said in the direction behind him: "Zuo Ci, take the arrow tower to suppress the chaotic arrows shot by the city." Let Brother Iruyun withdraw, Bai Ma Yi can't afford such consumption. ”

Zuo Ci agreed, and commanded the sergeant to push the arrow tower out of the array. Seeing that the arrow tower under Yuan Qi's command could actually move, this surprised the princes of all walks of life, the arrow tower is the arrow tower, how can it still move? What kind of situation is this? If it weren't for the battle with the Xiliang army, I'm afraid that some anxious princes would have come to Yuan Qi to ask for clarification.

The arrow tower, which is nine zhang high and has three platforms on it, moves much faster after being improved again by Yuanqi. According to the way of tank tracks in later generations, Yuan Qi lined up a row of logs at the bottom of the arrow tower, and then wrapped the logs layer by layer with cooked cowhide, which greatly reduced the manpower required to push the arrow tower. The only drawback is that the arrow tower is too heavy, and often pushes out about 100 meters, and the cooked cowhide that wraps the log will be crushed and broken, losing the wrapping force that guides the log to turn forward.

As the arrow tower was put into the battlefield, the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army such as Ugong Xing were immediately suppressed by the allied crossbowmen on the top layer of the arrow tower, and they couldn't raise their heads. Although the Tiger Prison Pass is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean how high the wall of the Tiger Prison is, only with the help of two dangerous mountains adjacent to the pass, the city is built This Tiger Prison is a natural danger, and its height is not comparable to the arrow tower of nine zhang high.

The form was reversed again, and the condescending became the crossbowmen of the coalition army, because they were thrown from a high place to a low place, so the arrows shot by the coalition army were full of force, with huge inertia, and fell towards the city with a roar. The cowhide hanging at the head of the city, after many hand damages, was pierced by arrows from a high place, and some of the defenders hiding behind the cowhide were shot by the arrows that pierced the cowhide because their vision was blocked by the cowhide. They didn't know exactly how they died.
