Vol 4 Chapter 3162: The king's crossbow breaks the city wall

Following Liu Yu’s order, the archers who were still shooting at the small holes of the crossbow quickly went down, and quickly retreated. Beside them, the shield players rushed forward and waved the wood in their hands. The platoon and the big shield resisted the crossbow bolts that continued to shoot from the small holes, and protected the sergeants on their side from retreating.
These large shields and wooden platoons that are two inches thick can effectively prevent the attack of infantry crossbows within six stones. Some shields are covered with crossbow bolts, but the people behind the shields are in good order. The ground evacuated, and even the corpses of the companions who were killed by the arrow could be dragged back together. It took only a few minutes. Just now, there were still people standing in the line of three-line archers, except for more than a hundred pools of blood. It remained in place, and outside the dense crossbow bolts and the big shield thrown down by more than ten faces, it became empty.
There was a burst of laughter and applause between the walls. You can imagine how proud the Nanyan sergeants in this wall were. They defeated the Jin army’s bow and arrow suppression. They were the defenders in this city defense. A great achievement, even some people started shooting at those pole-throwing carts two hundred steps away. Unfortunately, their crossbows are not powerful crossbows with more than eight stones. Even if they are condescending, they can only shoot one hundred and fifty-six. Ten paces fell on the ground, completely unable to reach those four-wheeled cars.
However, there were about thirty or forty four-wheeled carts. The sergeants unloaded the tossing rod with all their hands. A whole long strip of purple bamboo with leaves was thrown on the ground like this, more than ten. Minfu, holding his arms and accessories, which are clearly parts of the eight-stone crossbow, was organized on the four-wheeled trolley.
In the middle of the wall, there were obviously Nanyan's sergeants who discovered the anomaly and began to yell: "It's not good, the Jin army is ready to assemble a strong crossbow and shoot us."
But before the words of these people fell, it was a flurry of flying rocks that hit these walls fiercely. It was shot from a catapult three miles away. Although the quasi-head could not be very accurate, it hit those walls. The solid wall bounced heavily, leaving only a few white marks on the surface of the city wall. However, the stones hitting the crossbow holes can knock the hollow wall out of the wall. The cracks of the block, even some broken bricks and dust, were also hit by this, and they fell in large areas, and even the figures of the Nanyan crossbowmen who were hiding inside were looming.
Wang Zhen evil is riding horses behind these carts, directing the offensive and defensive line of the city wall. Zhang Gang changed into a leather armor and dressed as a soldier by his side, while Xiang Mi and Shen Tianzi were on the left and right. Standing next to him, looking from a distance, it was almost between two big mountains, with a small hill sandwiched between them. If it weren’t for Wang Zhen’s riding horses and attracting most of the attention, the three of them would stand together. Very conspicuous.
Xiang Mi opened his eyes wide, pointed to a wall above the city wall that had almost been cracked in half, and said, "What's going on here? Chi, I said Zhang Gang, can't you make this wall wall bigger when you are working on this city wall, it's too uncomfortable for people inside!"
Zhang Gang shook his head: "No, this kind of sandwich wall should be as short as possible, or if it gets bigger, the middle of the wall will be empty. This is to leave a shooting hole for the crossbowmen to prevent it from being like this. When the city’s head cannot be sustained, there is a spare for external attacks. There are no more than 200 perforations like this on one city wall. As long as people can squat or even lie in it, it’s fine to use them. Crossbow, you don’t need to draw a bow to draw an arrow."
Shen Tianzi grinned: "So, no wonder this city wall won't collapse if it is hit, Zhang Gang, is the only way to open the gaps in these city walls with a ballista?"
Zhang Gang nodded: "The catapult is too far away to hit accurately, but if you use the Ba Niu crossbow, you can accurately hit the clamping wall, even if it is three feet in radius, it is enough to hit. Above the distance, it is enough to penetrate the wall arm, General Shen, remember my words, the crossbow spear head must use the kind of barbed hook, now these walls have been loosened by the sling, and as long as one hits it, it can be broken. Then pull the rope abruptly, and the whole wall can be opened. At that time, whether you continue to shoot a crossbow rifle inside or use an archer to shoot a rocket inside, the enemy crossbowman will be burned to death. It's all easy to choose."
Wang Zhenyi said loudly: "I have heard nothing, hurry up and assemble the Ba Niu crossbow, put the rope on the hook, and punch through these walls!"
Zhang Gang nodded and said, "This is the defense of the city head. In addition, when attacking the city, they can go up to the city head from the dark road and use falling rocks, rolling wood, hot oil, and golden soup to kill and attack. The sergeant of the city, the commander meant that you should try your best to damage the city wall and hit the city gate first. Don't rush to climb the city. After all, Nancheng is here to attract the enemy's attention. The real killer move is at the west gate."
Shen Tianzi sighed: "Grandma's, it's because Brother A Shao took the lead again, I'm not reconciled."
Xiang Mi smiled and said: "Okay, Tian Zi, there are many opportunities for meritorious service. Last time in Linqu, I was the first one to rush to the city and win the first great merit. This time A Shao is here, next time it will be you. La."
Shen Tianzi hooked the corner of his mouth and said to Zhang Gang, "Then what are we waiting for~EbookFREE.me~ I will you to Xicheng now, Tie Niu, suppress the evil, here is your command, let me first Take a step."
As he said, he took Zhang Gang's hand, like an eagle carrying a chicken, and put it on an empty horse behind him. He also jumped on it, slapped the horse's buttocks, and left like this. Behind him, dozens of guards from the Shen family followed on horseback, and soon disappeared.
Wang Zhen evilly shook his head: "Tian Zi's ability to grab power is more powerful than his ability to fight wars. I admire him, but Tie Niu, the handsome man asked me to take charge of the siege here, so we have to fight hard. , Maybe, we are the first to break through."
Having said this, his eyes flashed coldly, facing the front of more than ten parts that have been assembled, the hooks were erected, and the eight-stone crossbows on the wall were pointed directly at the eight-stone crossbows. He raised his hand high, and then fiercely. With a wave of everything down, he sternly said: "Launch!"
Seventeen or eight crossbow guns roared out, with great strength, directly smashed through the outer wall of stone bricks, and several screams sounded. It was the Yanjun crossbowman lying on the wall. , Pierced the hook directly, and stuck out his tongue to Xiang Jing: "I'll drop an obedient Ronglidong, when did these eight crossbows become so fierce?!"
Wang Zhen evil laughed: "It's produced by Zhang Gang, it's improved! Now it's called Wanjun God Crossbow!"
