Chapter 53 Trebuchet
The soldiers connected the crossbow string buckle to the winch with a thick rope. The soldiers turned the winch, opened the crossbow string, and installed the giant arrow.
¡°Let it go!¡± a primary school student yelled.
A soldier walked in front of each crossbow, slammed the trigger with a sledgehammer, fired the string, and shot the arrow into the distance.
¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡±
Dozens of giant arrows were shot out at the same time.
Whoosh!
A giant arrow hit a Mohe soldier. The giant arrow penetrated directly from the soldier's chest and sent the soldier flying backward. Then, the tip of the arrow penetrated from the back and pierced the second Mohe soldier. body, then the third.
Finally, the giant arrow pierced the ground, with three Mohe soldiers on the arrow shaft. It looked like bloody candied haws nailed to the ground.
Whoosh!
Another giant arrow directly broke through the wooden shield in the hand of a Mohe soldier. The giant arrow did not lose its force, directly penetrated the soldier, and penetrated the wooden shield together
The bed crossbow fired three rounds in a row, taking away the lives of more than a hundred Mohe soldiers. The Mohe people's offensive was frustrated, but they quickly recovered from the chaos and launched an attack on the new city again.
Twenty bed crossbows were pushed down after firing three rounds. Although the bed crossbows were powerful, they were very slow to load. What's more, these bed crossbows were left over by the Goguryeo people. Compared with the bed crossbows of the Tang army, There was still some gap in performance, so it was immediately pushed away after firing a few rounds.
On the top of the city, many soldiers of the Tang Army began to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city. Although these soldiers of the Tang Army had been trained for a short period of time and had little experience in forming formations and cooperating with each other, most of them were proficient in bows and horses and could shoot arrows extremely accurately before joining the army.
¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡±
A series of arrows were shot from the top of the city, and there were screams from the city. Within a moment, the Mohe people under the city had killed or injured six or seven hundred people. The Mohe people's first offensive was once again repulsed, leaving behind Bodies everywhere.
When Wumaidewen in the distance saw the scene of the Mohe soldiers attacking the city, he couldn't help but be shocked. He cried secretly that he had been fooled.
It seems that the Tang Army garrison in Xincheng had saved a hand just now. The resistance encountered by this attack was much stronger than before.
Ubuki German steel teeth bitten, and he hit geese all year round, but was pecked by the geese! Fortunately, the casualties were all Mohe soldiers. These Mohe soldiers were originally used as cannon fodder.
"Let the Mohe soldiers be divided into ten teams. Change one team every hour and take turns to attack the new city! We can't let the Tang army have a chance to rest. I want to see how long these Tang soldiers can last!"
Wumedewen saw that the Tang army defending the city was well prepared and he had no siege equipment, so he resorted to the stupid method of wheel fighting. Although the casualties in wheel fighting would be larger, it was extremely effective and could make the defenders exhausted and sleepless. In the end, they could only watch the city being captured.
In one morning, the Mohe soldiers under Umedewen launched eight attacks on the new city. Each time they were repulsed by the Tang army. The Mohe soldiers killed and injured three to four thousand people. However, they continued one after another. The constant attacks did not give the defenders a chance to breathe.
Li Zhen stood on the city tower and frowned as he watched the Mohe soldiers coming like a tide. It seemed that the Goguryeo generals were using wheel warfare because they wanted to wear out their own troops.
Fortunately, I have a trump card. Whether I can break through is tonight!
The setting sun is like blood!
The brutal battle lasted for a whole day, and it gradually became dark.
In a day of bloody battles, the Tang army defending the city killed at least five or six thousand Mohe soldiers. The bodies of Mohe soldiers were piled under the city walls of the new city. Their blood formed a small river, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
On top of the city, a day's fighting exhausted the Tang army's officers and soldiers, and thousands of people were killed or injured.
However, from beginning to end, no matter how urgent the battle was, Li Zhen only invested 4,000 men and horses, and had a thousand men and horses as a reserve army. This thousand men and horses were also Li Zhen's trump card.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the top of the city, and many soldiers looked outside the city. They saw ten behemoths appearing in the Goguryeo military camp, and they were exactly ten trebuchets!
After a day's trek, the Goguryeo siege equipment finally arrived at the gates of the new city at dusk.
Seeing the trebuchet in the distance, Li Zhen felt a little heavy. He knew that the final decisive battle was about to begin.
Li Zhen stood on the city wall and looked towards the front of the Goguryeo army formation. He saw ten trebuchets pushed in front of the formation in a row. Behind each trebuchet there were dozens of soldiers struggling to pull the ropes in their hands.
?Pull down the proximal end of the trebuchet's swing arm hard, relying on the support of the rotating shaft. The swinging arm, which was several feet long, rebounded suddenly and drew a circular arc in the air. After it rose to the top, it was caught by the pile and made a loud noise.
The boulder at one end of the swing arm roared up under the influence of huge inertia, rolled over the battlefield, and slammed down towards the new city.
"Hoo!"
Li Zhen felt that the sky was getting a little dark, and a large stone that was several times larger than a millstone fell from the sky and hit the city head with a whistling sound.
"boom!"
The big stone hit the city head heavily, and the city head trembled for a while. A big hole was made in the ground, and cracks like spider silk appeared.
"boom!"
A huge boulder fell from the air and hit a Tang Jun. The Tang Jun's lower body was directly hit under the boulder.
"Help me quickly" Tang Jun screamed piercingly.
Another soldier pulled him hard, and felt his body light up. The soldier sat on the ground, only to see that only half of the body of the smashed Tang Jun was pulled out, and his waist and lower limbs were completely missing.
"Thank you" Before Tang Jun could finish speaking, his eyes had already closed
"Boom!"
One after another, boulders hit the top of the new city. The top of the new city burst into cracks, as dense as a spider web. From time to time, someone was smashed into a bloody mass by the boulders.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise from the city wall, and a large stone finally penetrated the city wall.
¡°Rumble¡¡±
Amidst the deafening noise, a section of the city wall in the southwest corner collapsed, forming a large gap more than ten meters wide. The forty to fifty Tang troops guarding there didn't even have time to scream, and followed the splashing The rubble and mud rolled down, and he was immediately buried alive in the smoke and dust flying all over the sky.
"kill!"
Seeing that the city wall had collapsed, thousands of Mohe soldiers shouted wildly again and rushed towards the new city.
"Fire the arrow!" a Tang general yelled.
However, the Mohe soldiers were like a flood that had burst its embankment, rushing forward with no regard for casualties. In an instant, they rushed into the smoke and dust flying all over the sky. Everything was obscured by the billowing smoke and nothing could be seen.
"It's your turn." Li Zhen stood at the top of the city and looked ahead.
"Yes!" Zhang Chao, the leader of the guards, handed over his hand. He immediately pulled out his saber from his waist and led a hundred guards to the gap. At this time, the new city was in danger. Li Zhen sent all his guards to the battlefield. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
