Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The roar of the crossbows gradually stopped. On the opposite city wall, crenels were constantly being broken and falling down. Some of the arrow towers standing behind the crenellations were hit so hard that they broke apart and fell down.  On the city wall, there were occasionally some body parts of soldiers flying in the air. Sister Fu Rong saw it with a smile on her face, kept clapping her hands, and shouted: "One more shot, one more shot!" As the last string of flying bullets was fired, all the beds  The crossbows stopped firing, and the giant strings were shaking slightly, while the sergeants began to hurriedly withdraw the crossbows. Sister Fu Rong was slightly stunned, and frowned: "What's going on? Why are you firing?"  You have to stop and continue to fight." Feng Lun sighed and said, "No, every shot of this bed crossbow will greatly wear out the beast's sinews. You can fire up to fifteen rounds in a day, otherwise the beast will be beaten.  The tendon is broken and I can¡¯t fight anymore. I¡¯ve already finished fifteen rounds, so that¡¯s about it.¡± A look of disappointment flashed across Sister Fulong¡¯s face: ¡°It¡¯s such a pity, but it¡¯s not bad to fight like this.  I see that the city is so riddled with holes that no one will dare to defend it. What should we do now? Send out infantry to attack the city." Feng Lun's eyes flashed coldly: "This time, His Majesty the King of Qin.  Give me the command of the siege and send the order. The catapults continue to launch. The auxiliary soldiers come forward and fill in the moat first! " Luoyang, Xicheng, city head.  Shen Guang, wearing a general's robe and armor, looked coldly at the densely packed Tang Army auxiliary troops outside the city. Like ants moving, they kept filling a large number of sandbags and stones into the city protection trench, which was as deep as ten feet.  The remaining wide ditch has now been almost half filled.  And the thousands of archers at the head of the city were all crouching under the battlements, motionless. From time to time, flying stones from catapults flew across the sky and hit the cloth outside the stone wall.  These quilt-like thick cloths kept shaking. Occasionally, a few flying stones passed over these cloths and hit the city head directly, causing debris to fly and fine stones to fly everywhere.  Fei Qingnu kept walking around Shen Guang like a ferocious beast. He was originally responsible for the defense of Nancheng, but now Wang Shichong sent Xicheng to help. A flying stone brought a strong whistling sound.  With a loud sound, it hit the top of a piece of cloth with a "wu" sound. It bounced and flew directly towards the city head before the castration was completed.  Fei Qingnu cursed angrily: "What the fuck!" He picked up a big ax stuck on his back and swung it at the watermelon-sized stone. With a "pop" sound, stone fragments flew everywhere.  Fei Qingnu's hard blow shattered the stone into small pieces, which hit the iron shields held by the armored guards standing on one side, like the sound of something being struck by hail.  .  Shen Guang shook his head: "Old Fei, why are you so irritable? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill anyone today?" Fei Qingnu grinned: "You still understand me, Old Fei, but now I look anxious.  We have cannons, flying stones, and eight bows and crossbows. Why don't we use them? Do we have to wait for these people to fill the ditch?" Shen Guang's eyes flashed coldly: "These are just auxiliary soldiers. If there is anything good to fight, they are just like these.  They are just cannon fodder human shields recruited from various states and counties. What we are going to fight are the main soldiers brought by Li Tang from Guanzhong. These are the core of the Tang army. You see, they are all wearing heavy armor now and are eager to fight in the back.  As long as the ditch is leveled, they will rush up." Fei Qingnu raised his eyebrows and said: "General Chi, you see they have a lot of siege equipment, which is different from the thieves who attacked the city before. Even their ladders,  They are all mounted on carts, and there are so many wooden donkeys and shield carts. If they really attack like this, it will be difficult to defend. " Shen Guang smiled and pointed at the ground at the top of the city.  They are all swallow-tailed torches: "Hasn't Your Majesty already prepared these things to deal with them? Why are you so anxious? When they really send out heavy infantry to attack the city later, we have many ways to break it. You are still afraid that you will not be able to kill the enemy.  "Fei Qingnu laughed: "That's good, I'm afraid they are too cowardly to climb up the city wall, so I won't be able to kill anyone today." At this point, he turned to look.  In the direction of Nancheng, he murmured: "It sounds like there is the least movement in Nancheng. His Majesty said that the enemy's main attack will be there, is it true?" Shen Guang smiled and nodded: "When will our Majesty make a military judgment?  Is there something wrong? Don't worry, generally the place where the main attack is is the lightest and smallest before the outbreak. There is no moat in Nancheng. I think the Tang army may make a fuss here. " Nancheng, the city head.  Wang Shichong was dressed as a soldier, standing behind the city battlements. Here, the number of catapults was the smallest, only more than thirty, sparsely scattered, feebly sending out stones. The curtains on the city head were already being retracted, because there were enough  Tens of thousands of Tang army archers have already formed up and are walking towards the city wall.With every move they made, the tail feathers of the arrows in the quivers at their waists also swayed. Looking from a distance, they could see a boundless white sky.  The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth curled up. He was also wearing leather armor and holding a shield. He stood beside Wang Shichong and said, "My lord, the enemy is coming forward. Do you want to use cannons and flying rocks to hit them, or use eight bows and crossbows to shoot them?"  "Wang Shichong shook his head: "They are just archers, nothing to worry about. Send an order. The crossbowmen and archers at the top of the city are ready to remove the curtains to prevent the enemy from using rockets to burn my curtains and ignite the city. Cannons  Flying stones and eight-bow crossbow arrows are used to deal with the enemy's entire group of heavily armored soldiers, don't waste them on archers!" Wei Zheng smiled slightly, glanced at the densely packed armored sergeants holding bows and arrows at the top of the city, and said:  "No!" Hou Junji did not ride a horse today. He was holding a long arrow and wearing heavy armor. He was walking among the archers. The soldiers on one side were holding thick wooden shields and following him. A soldier named Hou Hai  He said nervously: "Lord, is this really good? There are some cannons, flying stones and eight-bow crossbows in Luoyang City. If they are fired, can we survive?" Hou Junji smiled slightly and continued without stopping for a moment.  Walking forward: "If they really launched, they had launched a long time ago, would they have let us come here? Don't worry, the focus of Luoyang's defense is in Beicheng, not here. If they were hit, it would be weird  Your life is in danger." He suddenly stopped. This position happened to be about 80 steps away from the city. As he stopped, more than ten thousand archers also stopped, and they heard the wait.  Jun Ji's roar was accompanied by thousands of horns blowing at the same time: "Archers, target the top of the city, attack and suppress in ten rounds!"
