Chapter 269

Throw stones at this distance?

The school captain disdained this, and even felt that the other party's commander was probably just a rookie.

Although the power of the catapult is fierce, it can't be compared with the bow and arrow in terms of attack speed. Every round of stone throwing attack, the city will have to be silent for a long time.

Taking advantage of this attack interval, they had to rush out a long way at the speed of their cavalry, one step closer to the city gate.

If we say that our siege troops are mainly conventional infantry, it's good to say that this attack interval will not be fatal, but they are mainly cavalry.

The charging speed of cavalry is far faster than that of infantry.

If the catapult can make four or five attacks from the start of the infantry charge, it can only hit the cavalry two or three times.

What's more, the other party beat early!

The captain sneered. He had not met such a rookie commander for a long time.

In his eyes, Chen Ze is a rookie who is busy and disorderly as soon as he sees the enemy appear, regardless of hitting out his strongest firepower first.

Only rookies don't know that holding cards in their own hands is far more dangerous than playing them out to the enemy.

Originally, he was still worried about when the other party would make the strongest attack, but now the school captain was very determined, and he also saw that there were far more stones from Xifeng City than expected.

In other words, the other party must have carried the catapults at other city gates, so the defense of other city gates has been reduced to the lowest point.

"Talent!"

The captain sighed and even began to disdain the original commander of Xifeng City. What kind of idiot would be taken away by this rookie?

Throwing stones at this distance can really

Mind is often a moment. When seeing dozens of flaming stones rising from Xifeng City, the captain turned countless thoughts in his heart.

Then, his heart, which had just fallen back into his stomach, suddenly lifted up again.

This rock!

How can this stone fly so far?!

When he was able to reach the rank of captain, of course, he was very clear about the attack distance of the catapult, but it was precisely because he knew that when he saw that the catapult that should not have fallen on them exploded suddenly, his horror could not be described in words.

It's almost a mile away!

What kind of catapult can do such a long-range attack?

And there's more than one, dozens!

Xifeng City still has such a secret weapon. Why don't you know it?

"Quick, quick..."

In a hurry, the captain immediately ordered the cavalry to disperse, but it was too late.

They had already launched one step before they threw stones. How fast did they drop a stone from the air?

The captain didn't calculate how fast it was, but he knew that it must be faster than the cavalry known for its speed!

From the discovery that the attack distance of the stone throwing was unusually far, to his urgent order to disperse the troops to avoid the stone throwing attack, it was too late!

Boom!

Boom, boom!

For a time, about a mile outside Xifeng City, dozens of terrible scenes like meteors falling to the ground seemed like the end of the world. No one could maintain even the slightest bit of reason.

The earth is shaking, the frightened horses are howling, the boulders are rolling, and the flames are rising!

Everyone's mind is a blank. What can be seen everywhere is the stumps torn apart by boulders and the painful roar of their colleagues in the flames.

How dense the formation of heavy cavalry charge.

Originally, this dense charge formation was to guard against the enemy. In case of possible ambush, it can tear everything you see into pieces!

But now, this heavy cavalry with strong defense and impact is being smashed to pieces by the powerful burning falling stones.

"Are they idiots?"

At the head of Xifeng City, Meng Yang exclaimed, which was the disdain in the head of the cavalry captain before.

Yes, from Xifeng City, isn't the other party an idiot?

Knowing that there is a catapult at the head of the city, they dare to put up such an array to send heads. What is this behavior not an idiot?

Chen Ze looked calm.

Of course, he was the initiator of the continuing tragedy outside the city.

The cavalry captain is estimating the distance between the two sides. Isn't he?

But their estimates are essentially different.

Chen Ze could not understand the estimation made by the cavalry captain, but the calculation he was doing here was something the captain didn't know at all.

How did he know that Chen Ze's catapult attack was so far away and the artillery fire was so dense.

There are specially modified catapults, Chen Zena has a lot of calculation methods that are beyond the current world, and even the ambush plan given by Cheng Yu, a famous official of Cao Wei. It is understandable that the soldiers responsible for controlling the catapult are in good condition and can shoot such a long-distance catapult when their combat power is doubled.

But the enemy can't understand!

"This... How is this possible?!"

The cavalry who fell into the doomsday couldn't think any more, but Bao Jianye, who was in the middle army array, and even the deputy general with a trace of evil expectation in his heart, had already looked straight.

The stone is too far!

Exclamation came out of everyone's mind. No one can turn a blind eye to this ultra long-distance stone throwing offensive. The only thing that can be done is shock.

"Come on, retreat!"

After a moment of shock, Bao Jianye was also a governor. He was the first to recover from the shock and quickly ordered the flag soldiers.

Where else does he need an order?

People are not fools. The cavalry who head-on hit the terrible falling stones like destruction of heaven and earth have long been trying to rein in their horses' heads and want to stay away from the attack range of the stone catapult.

But... Heavy cavalry!

How can you stop?

Under the heavy armor, the weight of each cavalry is an exaggerated figure. In addition, the war horse is also covered with armor. Due to the inertia, they can only watch themselves dragged into a hopeless situation by stepping off their beloved horse.

In this round of stone throwing volley, not to mention countless deaths and injuries, at least tens of thousands of people died under the stone throwing. The remaining tens of thousands of vanguard troops were frightened, and the formation had already scattered into sand.

The role of cavalry is the threat to the enemy caused by group intensive charging, especially this kind of heavy cavalry. Once the speed of charging is gone, it is very difficult to run again.

For a time, I saw a large number of cavalry wandering and roaring in the end of the world where flames were burning everywhere, but they could not evacuate for a while and a half.

So, under Chen Ze's cold order, another round of new catapults finally finished filling bullets.
