Chapter 777

Against the bows and arrows fired from the car on the opposite building, all the 40 heavy crossbows on the wall were ready for launch. A commander came to Bai Xiaohei, gave a military salute and asked, "marshal, the heavy crossbows are ready. Can they be launched?"

"Let the bows and arrows team launch three rounds of Volley first. Remember to save bows and arrows and don't waste them. After suppressing the attack of the archers on the car opposite the building, the Heavy Crossbow will be launched immediately!" Bai Xiaohei nodded and then opened his mouth to give an order.

Hearing Bai Xiaohei's order, thousands of people of the bow and arrow team drew a bow and arrow from the arrow pot, then took the bow and arrow and aimed at the car on the twenty second floor outside the city.

With the dense sound of bow string vibration, thousands of bows and arrows flew like raindrops, and there was no tower shield on the floor car to stop the attack of arrows. Just one round of volley, many enemy soldiers were shot by bows and arrows. In order to stop the bows and arrows on the city wall, all 20 floor cars raised the baffle again.

Because the baffle was raised, the attack of the building car stopped temporarily. At this time, 40 heavy crossbows made a dull sound of bowstring bouncing, and 40 giant crossbows with the thickness of adult arms roared towards the 20 building cars.

According to Bai Xiaohei's order, every two of the forty heavy crossbows aimed at a building car. Because the building car was too big, there was no need to aim at it. The giant crossbows flew out of the back and were directly nailed to the building car. Unexpectedly, a rope was connected to the arrow cluster of the forty crossbows.

As these crossbows and arrows hit the building car, 40 ropes connected the building car with the city wall, and the other end of these ropes was fixed from the huge wooden winch. Almost while the rope was fixed on the building car, Bai Xiaohei loudly ordered to rotate the winch.

There are five winches in total. There are eight ropes upstream of each winch. With dozens of soldiers turning the winch with force, the ropes connected to the building car began to tighten gradually, and the building car was pulled and began to move towards the wall again.

At this time, there were a large number of ruins and debris under the city wall. After the building car was forcibly pulled for a distance, the wheel was blocked by these huge gravel. Because the pulling force was still there, the building car stuck on the wheel began to tilt under the action of the huge pulling force and finally fell down.

You know, the weight of the building car is several tons, and there are 200 soldiers on it. The huge impact when the building car fell was very terrible. Almost all the 20 building cars were smashed, while all the 4000 soldiers in the building car were directly killed.

The loss was huge for the rebel army. Four thousand people were nothing, but they could not bear the loss of 20 building vehicles. At this point, the only siege equipment on Fang Tong's side was the door smashing vehicle, and the catapults and building vehicles were completely destroyed.

Looking at the scene that all the cars downstairs of the city wall were destroyed, Fang Tong's eyes were red, and his hand holding the sword handle turned white because of too much force. The adjutant looked at Fang Tong with an ugly face, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Marshal, are we going to continue the attack? When the building car fell just now, not only all the soldiers in the building car were killed, but also some soldiers below were affected and killed."

"... no matter what price you pay, you will attack the emperor for me. If anyone dares to step back and kill me, there will be no amnesty!" Fang Tong was completely angry. Continuous setbacks have made him completely lose his calm.

Fang Tong's order made the adjutant frown, but the guy didn't say anything, but faithfully conveyed Fang Tong's order. The soldiers who received the order looked extremely bitter. As soldiers, they were indeed ready to die, but if their death could be used as a cushion for victory, even death was worth it. Unfortunately, facing the tall emperor capital At the city wall, all the soldiers felt little hope, so the momentum of the army weakened a lot for a time.

Of course, no matter what the mood of the soldiers is, for them, if they have given orders, they must faithfully complete it. After all, the war will not change because of their thoughts. All they can do is to act according to Fang Tong's orders.

The fierce siege began again. The tide of enemy troops began to rush towards the walls of the imperial capital. There was nothing in the front, but when these soldiers rushed to the walls on both sides, they were devastated.

Almost when the enemy reached the walls on both sides, Bai Xiaohei ordered the prepared marksmen to shoot rockets at the wine jars arranged in advance. You know, the wine jars were filled with strong wine. Although the continuous combustion time was not as long as fire oil, its explosive power was even more terrible than fire oil. After being shot by rockets, these sealed wine jars occurred The wine splashed from the big explosion turned the lower part into a sea of fire. The impact of the explosion lifted a large number of gravel. These gravel flying out of the violent explosion had a strong impact like a shotgun bullet. As long as the soldiers hit by the gravel would fall to the ground covering the place they were hit, and some unlucky ones who were hit on the head died on the spot Death.

After a series of setbacks, the enemy's attack on the walls on both sides collapsed. Although Fang Tong ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to retreat, who would be willing to die like this? So the armies on both sides began to retreat towards the rear.

According to Fang Tong's order, retreating soldiers are equivalent to deserters, and deserters are to be executed. In order to suppress the soldiers, Fang Tong ordered the supervising team to kill hundreds of soldiers, which stopped the retreating army from retreating.

While Fang Tong was struggling to reorganize the army, Bai Xiaohei came to the wall again and scattered some new wine jars under the wall. Moreover, Bai Xiaohei seemed to be afraid that the enemy would not see it. This time, the position of the wine jars was particularly obvious.

The enemy soldiers as like as two peas before they saw the scene changed, but they were blown back when the walls were not near. The white wine and black altar were just like those before explosions. No one suspected that they were still strong spirits.

When Bai Xiaohei returned to the city wall, Bai Zong on the other side also came back on a small three. Like Bai Xiaohei, he went down to the city to place the wine jar, but he went to the other side. After the two met on the city wall, Bai Xiaohei smiled and asked Bai Zong, "how's it? It's all arranged?"

Bai Zong nodded, then asked suspiciously, "brother, why should we put those low alcohol wines below? These can't be lit at all!"

"Don't you understand? I'm called knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger. The previous scenes of liquor explosion have cast a shadow on each other's hearts. They can't confirm whether the second batch of wine jars we put down are still liquor, so they dare not gamble. After all, they won't try again at the risk of losing a large number of soldiers. Since they dare not try, they can only choose never There is a front wall of the wine jar to attack, "Bai Xiaohei explained.

"But will the other party really be fooled? What if these guys ignore the wine jars we put and still attack from both sides? You didn't send troops to guard the walls on both sides!" Bai Zong said with a worried face.
