Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The catapult soldiers standing on the city wall of Xiyuan City followed their generals' personalities. After several days in a row, their expressions did not relax in the slightest.

    Holding the binoculars, Zhao Pan squinted his eyes at the opposite army formation, "The number of troops has increased"

    In the first few days, the opponent's strength was only around 2,000, but today, according to Zhao Pan's visual inspection, the strength of the troops gathered outside the city has risen to at least 3,000.

    "It seems that this trip is going to be real." Realizing this, Zhao Pan shouted at the soldiers behind him while putting down the binoculars, "Everyone cheer up!  The number of slings in your hands and the number of stone bullets in front of you, the crossbowmen in charge of controlling the three-bow bed crossbow and the heavy-duty crossbow have checked again to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

    Orders were issued one after another quickly, and the changes in the atmosphere on the city wall made the soldiers of the city guards tense up.  The siege army began to advance, and Zhao Pan's sight immediately fell on the two huge siege towers. According to what they had discussed before, these two siege towers undoubtedly needed the most defense!

    It is difficult to have any innovations in the routine of siege warfare, but this time, the siege army in Shangyuan City unexpectedly fought a little differently.

    I saw that the opponent directly gave up using the bed crossbow. There was no doubt that Zhou Dongnan was defending against Luo Ji's three-bow bed crossbow.  When the bed crossbow comes out, the range is not as good as that of the opposite side. Isn't that waiting to be sniped and blown up by the three-bow bed crossbow on the opposite side?

    In addition, although Songhe City is now captured by the enemy, it is still his own city, and it is of no benefit to him to cause extensive damage to the city wall.

    In this way, Zhou Dongnan launched his two siege towers fairly straightforwardly, and the focus of the entire siege battle suddenly shifted from the usual "breaking the city gate" to "capturing the wall", making it clear that he wanted to  Relying on his two rough-skinned and thick-skinned siege towers, he pushed them all the way up, and then took down the city wall in one go.

    Facing this changed routine, Zhao Pan was very calm. After all, Luo Ji had already analyzed this style of play with him quite thoroughly. All in all, first confirm the opponent's push configuration

    The shield and ax soldiers led the vanguard, followed by the halberd soldiers and the cloud ladder troops. As the highlight of this siege battle, the two siege towers were placed on the left and right sides of the entire army formation.  The soldiers gathered their energy and were pushing the siege tower forward slowly.

    And in order to protect these soldiers from being shot to death by random arrows, Li Kuo, the general who commanded the siege battle, specially arranged two large shield troops to form a shield wall to protect them all the way. The center of gravity of the entire army formation was there.  It can be said to be clear at a glance.

    At the same time, the attack of the siege troops can be divided into two types: fast attack and slow attack, and Li Kuo, the general defending the city of Shangyuan City, who was evaluated by Zhou Yi as a moderate faction, is obviously an expert in slow attack.

    The speed of the entire army formation was not fast, but the calm aura made Zhao Pan feel a trace of obvious pressure, making him fully aware that this battle would not be easy.

    "Huh¡ª" exhaled a long breath gently, and adjusted his breathing. Zhao Pan, who was highly concentrated, glanced at the advancing army formation on the opposite side again, and then ordered loudly, "Three sets of three bow beds  Crossbow, after the opponent's siege tower enters the range, directly focus on the siege tower on the left with all your strength, and aim at the wheels at the bottom of the siege tower as much as possible! Don't worry about the one on the right."

    After receiving Zhao Pan's order, the soldiers manipulating the three three-bow bed crossbows quickly adjusted the attack angles of the three-bow bed crossbows. Then, when the siege tower entered their range, a series of muffled noises followed.  , Three huge heavy crossbow arrows flew out of the city wall one after another, blasting towards the siege tower on the left!

    It was too late, but it was fast at that time. The moment the heavy crossbow bombarded the bronze baffle of the siege tower, the three consecutive loud noises were deafening.  Li Kuo's pupils shrank when he was at the back. Even under the premise that Zhou Dongnan had reminded him, the power of the three-bow bed crossbow still surprised him.

    Then his eyes quickly swept away. After confirming that the siege tower was fine, Li Kuo couldn't let go of his breath at all. The opponent's first round of attack caught his attention, and the three bed crossbows on the wall focused their fire at the same time.  He captured the siege tower on the left side of his army formation, but ignored the one on the right side. The opponent's desire to defeat them one by one was obvious, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to Li Kuo.

    Everyone knows that as the distance gets closer, the destructive power of the bed crossbow will become stronger and stronger.After so many battles, this was the first time he was worried about the safety of the siege tower.

    On the other side, Zhao Pan standing on the top of the wall was also surprised by the defensive power of the siege tower. Although the first round of the three-bow bed crossbow attack was stuck at the limit of the effective range, facing three consecutive heavy-duty  With the bombardment of crossbow arrows, the siege tower was basically flat and stable. There must be a lot of stuff underneath to stabilize the entire center of gravity. I am afraid that there are dozens of soldiers pushing, but they are still pushing so  The main reason for the slowness is that the weight is not light.

    Originally attacking the wheels under the siege tower directly, and directly blowing the wheels, the siege tower is basically useless, but the problem lies in the era of cold weapons, long-range attacks are all with a clear parabola, and the hit rate is the highest  The long-range weapons are basically bows and arrows, and large equipment like bed crossbows will inevitably sacrifice in terms of hit rate. You let the crossbowmen operate the bed crossbows to attack the siege tower, which is no problem, but you let them aim  If you hit the two rows of wheels under the siege tower, that would be making things difficult for others.

    The battle is still going on. As the enemy's siege army advances steadily, the catapult troops who won by quantity began to fire wildly. The overwhelming rain of stone bullets formed a strong suppressive force, which further reduced the enemy's siege army.  advance speed.

    Li Kuo tried to command the archers to counter-suppress the slingers on the city wall, but the rain of stone bullets on this side was too ferocious.  With the special skills of Panna's gold-level slinger, this fierce offensive is enough to make a lot of people dumbfounded!
