Chapter 764

After Fang Tong ordered the catapult to attack, the catapult troops on standby in the rear began to take action. Thirty giant catapults were pushed to a distance of about 130 meters from the city wall. The bases of these catapults were square, seven meters long and wide, left and right, and four wheels were installed under them, which were pushed by 30 people at the same time, Behind each catapult were two huge carriages, loaded with boulders as ammunition and oil bottles filled with fuel.

When the thirty catapults reached the effective attack range, they stopped. The catapults showed a semi-circular formation, so all the projection points were aligned with the wall of the imperial capital. Then some soldiers began to rotate the huge winch and pull down the projection rod of the catapult through the steel cable. The huge projection rod showed a curved moon shape, perhaps because the torque was too large, The ejection rods made a click.

When all the catapults were ready, the officer in charge of commanding the catapult troops pulled out his long sword, pointed it at the wall and shouted, "launch!"

With this order, thirty soldiers with light hand axes directly cut off the rope tied to the ejection rod. Thirty low ejection sounds sounded in a row. Then thirty boulders with a diameter of one meter were thrown out by the stone catapult and smashed into the city wall.

Seeing boulders flying all over the sky, Bai Xiaohei quickly shouted, "everyone hide behind the iron shield, come on!"

In fact, there was no need for Bai Xiaohei to order. After seeing the boulders, almost everyone had hidden behind the giant shield. At the next moment, more than 30 boulders fell on the city wall, most of which fell on the metal giant shield three meters high, and better than sitting on the city wall behind the giant shield.

In the roar, the city wall shook. Although the huge shields were supported by dozens of soldiers on their shoulders, they were still hit by the huge impact and retreated for several meters before stopping. Some soldiers couldn't withstand the retreating force of the huge shield and fell to the ground.

Just this round of stone catapults bombed the city wall. Aisha was dragged up by Bai Yachen from the ground. Then she turned her head and spoke in panic. Xiaohei asked, "brother Xiaohei, how can we deal with those stone catapults? If they don't attack the city wall, it may collapse!"

"Don't worry! The other party won't attack continuously. As long as the infantry climb up the wall, the attack of the catapult will stop, otherwise they will hit their own people. I don't think Fang Tong is so lack of heart." Bai Xiaohei replied with his mouth.

"We can't wait for each other to climb up?" hearing Bai Xiaohei's words, Aisha's muscles twitched, and then asked bitterly.

"Just wait for the other party to climb up. Now the other party's siege equipment can completely suppress us. If we continue to block the infantry below to climb the wall, we will be constantly attacked by the other party's stone throwing machine. These giant shields are only wrapped with a layer of iron outside the wood and can't withstand several attacks. Therefore, we'd better put them there instead of waiting for the other party to smash all the giant shields Some guys come up. "Bai Xiaohei said his thoughts.

Hearing Bai Xiaohei's explanation, Aisha was relieved of her doubts, but instead she was worried. There were hundreds of thousands of people on the other side, and there were only 100000 city guards on her side. If the war really developed to the level of white-edged war, she would not be able to defend it. She didn't know whether Bai Xiaohei had a plan to deal with it, so she was a little uneasy.

However, the general command of the defensive war has been handed over to Bai Xiaohei, and Aisha is not qualified to interrupt, so she can only choose to believe Bai Xiaohei. During the dialogue between the two, the second wave of boulders has flown over and hit the city wall and those giant shields again.

After two consecutive attacks, some giant shields have begun to crack. It is estimated that these giant shields will be damaged in another boulder attack. Seeing this, Bai Xiaohei directly ordered everyone to pull the giant shield back and retreat to the other side of the city wall to avoid the attack of the stone thrower. As for the first half of the city wall, he gave up directly.

Everyone was puzzled by Bai Xiaohei's order, but since Bai Xiaohei said so, they naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so more than 30000 soldiers on the wall began to pull the giant shield back, and some engineers began to pull the dense bows and arrows from the giant shield and insert them into the arrow pot.

Just as they were retreating to the back half of the city wall, a large number of engineers suddenly rushed up from under the city wall. Each engineer carried a large sack on his shoulder. The engineers stacked these sacks together. Unexpectedly, they stacked sacks on the city wall into a bunker half a person high.

When people were busy on the city wall, the catapult troops under the city had launched five attacks on the city wall. Under the attack of boulders, the city wall kept shaking. Some boulders hit the front of the city wall smashed the layer of ceramics covered outside the city wall, and countless ceramic fragments scattered and splashed.

Fang Tong always stared at the city wall. When he saw that no one could be seen on the city wall, he showed a somewhat proud expression on his back face. Then he said to the adjutant around him, "the catapult launched two more attacks, and then let the infantry start to go up the city wall. Those guys were afraid of being hit by the catapult, so they should not dare to stop at the side of the city wall."

Hearing Fang Tong's words, the adjutant nodded, and then gave the order to a messenger not far away, who quickly left to convey Fang Tong's order.

After another two rounds of volley, the catapult finally stopped the attack. Under the cover of the catapult, the city wall was covered with siege ladders. More than 100000 infantry began to climb towards the city wall like ants, and this time they were not blocked.

Soon a soldier was the first to climb the wall. Almost subconsciously, the soldier raised his park knife while climbing the wall and turned his head around to look for the trace of the enemy. However, after looking for a circle, he did not see an enemy. Only there was a half man high wall composed of sandbags on the other side of the wall in the distance.

Just when the soldier thought that the other party had been scared and hid in the city, a bow and arrow suddenly shot out and nailed directly to the center of the soldier's eyebrow. The soldier didn't even understand what was going on. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead. When his hand touched the bow and arrow nailed into his forehead, the guy finally realized what had happened, The next second, the guy fell down with his head up and fell directly down the wall.

When the soldier fell, more soldiers had climbed up from the siege ladder, and what was waiting for them was a quick shot of bows and arrows, because the distance was not very far. The bows and arrows shot from behind the opposite sandbag wall almost hit the soldiers when they didn't respond. For a time, the soldiers screamed and fell down the wall.

What happened in the next period of time can definitely be described as madness. An enemy soldier climbed up the wall and was shot down by bows and arrows. The wall kept falling soldiers like dumplings. Under the obstruction of dense bows and arrows, no soldier could stay on the wall.
