Standing on the tower, Chang Heng heard the drums and saw the soldiers coming. His heart suddenly tightened.
The war began.
It's up to his soldiers whether they can hold on.
Chang Heng ordered: "prepare!"
The order was given, and all the soldiers were in action, all ready to fight.
Chang Heng looks at the Chu army outside the city and says in his heart, "come on, let's see how elite the Chu army is.".
Taishici leads the army to arrive and looks at Chang Heng, who is guarding the city, with a sneer in his heart.
If it was such a strong city as Wu county that he was forced to attack, Tai Shici would really find it difficult. But in front of him, piling County, a small city, wanted to stop him. It was a dream.
"The catapult is ready," he ordered
At the command, one by one, the catapults came up.
All the catapults were transformed by Huang Yueying, and then they were more aggressive.
With Tess ordering the attack.
All the catapults turned on the stones and bombed piling.
"Boom!"
A big stone fell, and a big pit was smashed out of the tower.
"Boom! Boom! "
One after another bombing, one after another.
One stone after another fell, making the garrison on the tower hide on the tower and deal with it carefully.
Often horizontal look in the eyes, but do not care.
It's wishful thinking that only the catapult wants to break through the city.
Chang Heng kept the soldiers away from attack.
When the catapult attacked, suddenly, another Archer of Chu army came forward.
Archers use the same big bow, and the soldiers who shoot the arrow are all big and strong men. Thousands of archers lined up outside the city, shooting.
"Whew! Whew
Bows and arrows, like rain, keep shooting towards the city tower.
Chang Heng is still calm in his eyes.
Chu military archery shooting, but also in his expectations.
The soldiers picked up their shields and put them on their heads. One soldier after another carried the shield, forming a huge shield.
The bow and arrow hit the shield and did not affect the soldiers.
Zhu Qi looked in his eyes and frowned slightly.
This is not the right situation.
Any general who is proficient in combat knows that the use of catapults, bows and arrows in siege is to suppress the soldiers on the tower, so that their soldiers can get close to the tower and then attack.
However, Chu soldiers did not.
Taishici had no plan to let Chu army attack.
Why?
Zhu Qi was suspicious.
Zhu Qi looked at Chang Heng and said, "general, Tai Shici is strange. Up to now, no troops have been sent to attack. "
Chang Heng said, "we should keep the same to cope with all changes. We will not move for the time being."
Zhu Qi nodded.
This is the only way to deal with the current situation.
But Zhu Qi had a bad feeling in his heart, because he thought Tai Shici had come prepared.
At this time, the formation outside the city changed again.
Another group of soldiers rushed out.
This group of soldiers in the hands of, is a huge crossbow machine.
There are more than 100 soldiers.
All soldiers approach the tower and stop fifty paces away.
The distance of fifty steps is within the range of the bow and arrow on the tower. But Tai Shici didn't want money to order archers to shoot, and the catapult continued to attack, which led to the Wei army on the city floor, even had no chance to rise.
Once you come out, you will be shot by bow and arrow.
Not to mention, there are stones constantly bombing the tower.
All these lead to the suppression of Chang Heng.
Zhu Qi stares at the outside of the city. He stares at this group of Chu soldiers with huge crossbows.
"General Chang, this may be the reliance of Tai Shici."
Zhu Qi said.
Chang Heng sneered and said, "what's the use of a group of soldiers with crossbows and arrows. It's wishful thinking to shoot through the tower. "
When Zhu Qi heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.
Maybe that's what the Chu army outside the city planned.
The distance of 50 steps is enough for Zhu Qi to see the crossbow machine and arrow of his opponent clearly.
The other side's Crossbow machine is huge, and the crossbow is thicker than the thumb. Once the crossbow is fired, the killing power will be huge.
Zhu Qi saw that the other side had loaded the crossbow and then shot.
"Whew!"
A crossbow broke through the air and hit the city wall.
The sharp crossbow directly breaks through the wall and penetrates into the city building. The crossbow is buzzing and shaking.
After this one was fired, the rest of the soldiers pulled the trigger of the crossbow one after another.
One hundred crossbows made of fine steel are aimed at the same direction, and they are all the positions where the first crossbow hits.All the crossbows and arrows were shot, and they were all shot into the wall.
WOW!
The bricks and stones on the tower crash down and are greatly damaged by the impact of crossbows and arrows.
After the first round, there was the second round.
Two rounds of crossbows and arrows can shoot 200 crossbows and arrows forged with fine steel.
These two hundred crossbows and arrows directly dug a big pothole in the wall.
When he saw the location of the crossbow, his mouth was filled with a smile. If he attacks piling City, and the other side has enough garrison, weapons and food, taishici is really hard to attack.
However, piling is not such a strong city as Wu County.
Piling city is just a county, an ordinary county.
Such a city is not difficult to attack.
In particular, the unique crossbow of Chu state was enough to destroy the city wall.
Taishici looked and saw that the catapult had begun to aim at the position of the bow and arrow.
Stone by stone bombardment, the place where the crossbow was originally shot, the loss of wall fragmentation, unable to withstand the attack of the catapult.
After the continuous impact of the catapult, a big pit appeared in the wall.
At this time, it was two rounds of crossbow shooting.
With the attack of the catapult, the wall of the tower fell one layer at a time.
At the risk of being designed by the bow and arrow, Zhu Qi leaned out of his head and looked at it, and his face changed greatly. He retracted his head and yelled, "general, No. The other side's crossbow was extremely powerful, plus the bombardment of the catapult. If it goes on like this, in less than half a day, a gap will be opened in the city tower. It's very bad for us. "
Chang Heng's rough face twitched slightly when he heard the speech.
He wanted to be stationed in piling City, but now, I'm afraid he can't.
Chang Heng clenched his fists and was anxious in his heart.
Chang Heng said, "Sir, what do you say to do?"
Zhu Qi also looked dignified and said, "general, get ready to break through. But now, we have to stick to it. Wait a second. Until the end, we can't break through. "
"Good!"
Chang Heng nodded.
He has no choice but to hang on.
The bow and arrow continued.
Stones kept falling on the towers.
At this time, the towers are immersed in a roaring sound.
Even, there was a certain vibration.
Chang Heng had no way to fight back, because no catapult was found in piling. When there is no catapult to intercept the opponent, his archers are difficult to play a role, so they can only be beaten passively.
Time goes by little.
There are more and more holes in the wall.
Crossbow shooting.
The stone struck.
The clattering wall fell to the ground.
Seeing the walls of the city building getting thinner and thinner, they are already on the verge of collapse.
Tess looked in his eyes with a bright smile on his face.
Half a day.
He broke through the city of piling with a catapult, a crossbow and a bow.
