Chapter 75

Wei Yan didn't dare to delay any longer. He ordered: "Zhou Ru, transfer the catapult troops to hold down the formation."

"Here it is

Zhou Ru gave the order immediately.

Not long after that, a catapult lined up in the army. There were ten catapults, all in order. Every catapult aimed at Zhang Xiu's barracks.

One side of the soldiers, began to quickly fill the stones, ready to bombard Zhang Xiu's barracks.

The weight of each stone thrown by the catapult is about 300 Jin. The weight dropped from the air to the ground, enough to make a big hole in the ground. If you hit the crowd, you can easily hit the dead.

"Let's go!"

The school in charge of the catapult, direct order.

"Bang Dang! Kuangdang

A catapult runs, the lever swings, and the placed stones are thrown out.

At the moment when the stone was thrown out, Wei Yan ordered again: "Archer, let go!"

Eight hundred archers go to the front line and pull the bow quickly. Just listen to the buzzing vibration of bowstring, dense arrow, in the air, followed by the stone in the air, shot to Zhangxiu barracks.

"Herald, attack!"

Wei Yan gave the order again.

When this order was passed on, the soldiers in the army launched a fierce attack.

Wei Yan launched a comprehensive attack.

The big stone flying over the sky is an important weapon for long-range suppression. It is necessary to suppress Zhang Xiu's soldiers in the camp and cause chaos in the camp. The flying bow and arrow is to control the soldiers at the gate of the camp, so that Zhang Xiu can't arrange the soldiers to block at the gate of the camp, so that his soldiers can enter the camp.

As long as the army broke the defense of the camp, Wei Yan took the lead.

This is Wei Yan's strategy.

The first wave of Wei Yan's attack mobilized 1800 soldiers, more than one third of them.

He has gone all out.

When Zhang Xiu was in the army, she saw the bows, arrows and big stones coming from the sky, and the soldiers killed fiercely, without any confusion.

This attack is not enough for fear.

"The shield soldiers come forward and block the bow and arrow."

Zhang Xiu ordered that soldiers who had been ready for a long time, holding shields, come forward quickly. All the soldiers raised their shields together, one shield on top of the head, forming a big shield.

The bow and arrow that fell, Ding Ding, hit the shield and fell down.

"Boom! Boom! "

Falling stones hit the ground.

But the soldiers retreated quickly. Even if the big stone fell, although there were wounded soldiers, there was no large-scale impact.

Wei Yan's offensive was suddenly dispelled.

Zhang Xiu arranged for long spearmen and shield soldiers to take charge of defense, and ordered: "crossbow hand, Archer, ready."

One by one bowmen and archers, quickly forward.

The strong crossbow used by the Bowman is Huang Yueying's improved weapon. The crossbow of each crossbow is nine inches long, forged with fine iron and sharp arrow. At present, only 300 such strong crossbows have been produced. As long as they are loaded and buckled, they can be launched.

Within the range of 60 steps, the crossbow shoots fast, with high accuracy and strong lethality.

Beyond 100 steps, the killing power is very weak.

The reason is that the crossbow is fired flat, moving in a straight line. The speed is fast, and the strength weakens faster.

But behind the archers, there are 500 archers.

The crossbow is in front, the bow is in the back.

This is the military layout.

The strong crossbow is responsible for precision attack, while the bow and arrow are large-scale shooting. Although the bow and arrow are random shooting without accurate head, the victory lies in large number and wide attack range.

"Shoot the arrow!"

At Zhang Xiu's command, the archer and the archer shot at the same time.

The soldiers under Wei Yan's command, who are running in the front, have entered the distance of 60 steps. When these soldiers were rushing forward quickly, they heard a burst of shooting sound, and then the crossbow and arrow came and went into the soldiers' bodies.

"Plop! Plop

The soldiers who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground one after another.

One soldier after another fell, or died under the crossbow, or was seriously injured.

Screams, everywhere.

After the crossbow and arrow were fired, the dense bow and arrow passed through the air and fell from the air, about 80 steps away from the camp.

This is the soldier under Wei Yan, who just rushed out of the position for a while. The large-scale bow and arrow fall made the formation of Wei Yan's soldiers in chaos.

Wei Yan's face was stiff and his eyes were cold.

"Get the drumsticks!"

He gave the order, and soon a soldier handed the drumstick.

Wei Yan got off his horse and came to the battle drum not far from the rear. He rolled up his sleeves and swung the drumstick to beat the battle drum.

This is Wei Yan who wants to cheer for the soldiers.

"Dong! Dong

When the war drum sounded, the soldiers under Wei Yan were ordered to rush forward in the rain of arrows.Zhang Xiu saw that Wei Yan's soldiers were not afraid of the arrow rain, and her mouth was filled with a faint smile. Under the shooting of bow and crossbow, Wei Yan's soldiers were killed and injured more and more. Even if there were soldiers charging fast, the distance was constantly narrowing, but the loss was great.

For Zhang Xiu, if she only consumes some weapons, she can consume Wei Yan's soldiers. It's worth it!

Zhang Xiu raised her head and looked at the big stone falling from her eyes. All the falling stones are in a neat row with the same range.

See this, Zhang Xiu mouth up.

This kind of catapult is easy to deal with.

Zhang Xiu mobilized the catapult array. The catapult under his command was transformed by Huang Yueying and other old craftsmen. The range of the catapult was increased by about 50 steps, but the attack power was not weakened at all.

A catapult, placed behind the stone landing.

Twenty catapults, all in position.

Looking at the commander in charge of the catapult, Zhang Xiu ordered in a deep voice: "Wei Yan's catapult is bombarding the camp. Their stone landing positions are all in one shot, which is similar. Can you estimate their position according to the position of the falling stones, and then, in turn, blow up their catapults? "

"Yes

The captain answered firmly.

Zhang Xiu said, "I will believe you. Go ahead and blow up all their catapults."

"Here it is

Duwei has orders to step down immediately. He came to the catapult and directed the soldiers to load the boulders. The big stones loaded by these soldiers were all treated, and their faces were covered with layers of linen, which was soaked in tung oil.

Once ignited, the stone will burn.

And it's not easy to put out.

When the soldiers who were responsible for throwing stones estimated the position and distance, the captain immediately ordered the fire to start. All the stones on the catapult were ignited, whistling and burning.

"Let it go

The captain roared, and the soldiers immediately dropped in.

The lever of the catapult swung, and the stones on the catapult flew out. Big stones were burning and puffing up in smoke. Then they flew directly in the direction of Wei Yan's catapult.

Twenty burning stones, full of smoke, were fierce.

This scene, let Wei Yan stare big eyes.

He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu's catapult could throw fireballs.

"No!"

When Wei Yan saw the marks of fireballs flying by, he saw the fireballs begin to fall and fall in the direction of the catapult. He said in a loud voice: "fast, fast, move the catapult. You can't let the catapult be hit."

His voice fell, and the soldiers heard it, but it was too late.

The burning flint fell down.

One by one soldiers see this, rapid retreat, and burning flint hard impact on the catapult.

"Click! Click

Under the huge impact, the catapult collapsed in an instant. Even big rocks rolled and sparks splashed, many soldiers were injured, and some soldiers were hit by fireballs and died on the spot.

Looking back, Wei Yan saw that his catapults had lost eight in the first wave of attack, and only two were not hit.

The catapult was not hit, but dozens of soldiers died.

"Damn it

When Wei Yan saw this, he was so angry that he swore.

He came to attack Zhang Xiu. Unexpectedly, he was thrown into a mess by Zhang Xiu's catapult.

Wei Yan clenched his fist and was unwilling. He ordered: "Zhou Ru, send another 1000 soldiers to join the attack line. Kill me. You must enter Zhang Xiu's barracks. "

"Here it is

Zhou Ru didn't object, so he ordered immediately.

Wei Yan looked at the 1000 soldiers who had once again entered the battlefield with expectant eyes.

At this time, he can only attack.

Rush into Zhang Xiu's barracks, otherwise there is no chance to win.
