Chapter 455

Boom again?

Ouyang acted in a stern manner, and many generals already showed sullen faces.

Zheng Yuanyun is playing a rogue.

He relied on the abundant materials in the whole city. Regardless, he carried out indiscriminate bombing with a stone catapult. Whatever your strategy, he can blast them back with shells.

If you want to fight like this, unless you really fill it with human lives, it is almost impossible to touch the wall of Juhe city.

Zheng Yuanyun seems to have stolen Ouyang's arrangement in Tianyuan city and grouped the catapult troops to achieve a continuous attack mode.

At the moment, what Zheng Yuanyun is doing is commanding the soldiers, regardless of their own consumption, to replace this catapult and continue to operate another one, even playing the level offensive of Tianyuan city at that time.

However, among all people, except Zheng Yuanyun, Ouyang's strict implementation is also not urgent.

If the other party wants to blow, blow.

Ouyang acted as if he hadn't seen it. The attack on the side road was blocked again. He waved again. From the Chinese Army array, dozens of siege towers were pushed to the forefront.

At the sight of the siege tower, Zheng Yuanyun's expression finally changed.

Is this... The siege tower?

From the commanding position at the top of the city, it is obvious that the dozens of siege towers pushed by Ouyang to the forefront have been deliberately transformed. Not only the tower body is stronger, which gives people a sense of stability, but also on the top of each siege tower, it is no longer the traditional watchtower, but a large platform has been built on the top of the tower, on which a catapult is placed.

The purpose of the siege tower was to serve the archers. The high tower was used to level the range disadvantage with the archers at the head of the city, but now a catapult was erected?

Of course, no one has thought about this erection method before, but it is not practical.

For one thing, the anti-seismic force generated by the catapult when firing is far from comparable to that of a bow and arrow. Generally speaking, if you put it on the siege tower, you can only shoot one or two shots. Then, due to the anti-seismic force, either the catapult is shaken off the top of the tower, or the whole siege tower will collapse.

Second, the main function of the siege tower is to transport soldiers and hide soldiers in the tower. The whole siege tower will be covered with a layer of wet cow leather, which can not only increase defense, but also play a role in fire prevention. As for the archers in the tower, they serve for the promotion of the siege tower to harass the other party's attack during the promotion process.

If the catapult is erected on the top of the tower like this, the whole siege tower must be built extremely. In this way, the flexibility will be greatly lost. Due to the powerful recoil force of the catapult, even if the whole siege tower does not collapse after one shot, it is normal to move backward.

A siege tower used for charging. If you don't advance but retreat in the process of advancing, the more you attack, the farther you will be shocked. What's the effect?

The catapult erected on the top of the tower can barely smooth the range gap between it and the catapult at the head of the garrison city, but it is at most at the same level.

In other words, when I can't hit you, you can't hit me, but when you can hit me, I can hit you.

If you want to use the catapult to counter the catapult, you can only shoot at each other unless Ouyang strictly pushes the siege tower into the range of the other party.

But he only has dozens of such strange siege towers. He has to face hundreds of them already ready in Juhe city. The two sides are not of the same order of magnitude in quantity.

It's estimated that Ouyang's siege tower entering the attack range of Juhe city will be hit by a round of stone throwing volley before he orders to fire. It's good that his poor dozens of units can hold ten units.

Ten catapult shells hit Juhe city?

What's the difference between that and tickling?

Moreover, it's still the kind that the probability can only make one round of attack and will be submerged by the other party's attack.

Can such a big city be broken with only ten shells?

Of course not.

It's not easy to say whether it can blow out a gap in the strong wall of Juhe city.

So Zheng Yuanyun doesn't quite understand why Ouyang's strict operation is?

However, to his amazement, Ouyang's vigorous action did show these dozens of siege towers, but obviously he did not intend to push these siege towers forward to attack Juhe City, but just let them shine a picture and stand at the forefront of the formation.

What's this for?

Zheng Yuanyun frowned slightly. After thinking and thinking, he still didn't understand Ouyang's purpose of doing so.

Is it difficult? Just because Ouyang has prepared these siege towers before coming to live in the city, and he is not willing to see that they are useless at this time, so he launched Lailiang to make an appearance?

That's childish, isn't it?

He shook his head. Although he couldn't understand Ouyang's purpose, what he could see was that the other party still couldn't pose any threat to juhecheng.

With sufficient material reserves, Zheng Yuanyun will not be stingy with resources at all. Whatever his strategies, in short, it is just a bombardment in the past.

Ouyang did not move, and he was happy to save the soldiers' physical strength. Originally, he played the delaying tactic. As long as he could delay until the reinforcements arrived, the victory of the battle would be in his pocket.

Since you want to procrastinate, then procrastinate.

Therefore, after a slight contact between the two sides, none of the soldiers died, leaving only a stone on the ground, and then fell into a state of silence.

After a while, messengers from the left and right gates came to repay, and Ouyang's troops had arrived. However, under the prior arrangement of Zheng Yuanyun, the gates on both sides also implemented an outrageous strategy. In short, whatever you are, as long as you dare to cross the minefield half a step, it is a round of throwing stones and closing the road.

This strategy is undoubtedly very successful. In addition to not killing Ouyang's soldiers, the effect is obvious. This round is to keep Juhe city as solid as gold.

Then there is the back gate.

Ouyang acted vigorously. It is estimated that there was an order. If the city gates on the left and right sides are still unable to break through, then go back to the city gate.

However, in the direction of the city gate, Zheng Yuanyun laid heavy cavalry.

More than 300000 troops of Ouyang's vigorous action passed around, but before approaching the city gate, they saw the heavy cavalry in charge roaring like a torrent of steel, frightening them to retreat and pull. At least they didn't let the heavy cavalry hit head-on, but they also lost a small part of their troops.

And this, unexpectedly, is the only loss of troops produced by both sides in the process of war.
