305, bloodletting [4000 words](1/2)
The grassland legion, which was bombarded with five stone bullets, had no intention of retreating at all.
The gap in the formation was filled in a blink of an eye by the shield chariots that followed. The soldiers of the grassland legion stepped on the broken corpses of their comrades and shouted loudly, pushing the heavy shield chariots into the canyon like a tide.
The trencher is loading too slowly.
Although the five trenchers behind Guancheng City Wall are the most advanced counterweight trenchers, their launch rate and accuracy are far superior to those of human-powered trenchers, they cannot quickly launch the second time in a short period of time.
Although the shield chariot of the grassland legion cannot withstand the bombardment of hundreds of kilograms of stone bombs, it is still very effective in defending against arrows.
Even if a large crossbow cart fires a giant arrow like a spear, even if it can barely penetrate the shield cart, it will not be able to effectively kill the personnel behind the shield cart, and it will not be able to completely destroy it.
Looking at the grassland legion rushing in front of him and the rows of thick shield cars that looked like moving wooden walls, Ouyang Jing had no expression on his face.
The strategy of the Prairie Legion is simple and effective.
Each shield car is a chassis-shaped shield car that is two meters high, two meters wide and three meters long.
There is a foot-thick solid wood baffle in front, and the ceiling is spliced with logs as thick as bowls, and several layers of cowhide are covered with. Each layer of cowhide is also sprinkled with sand and soil to prevent fire, just like a series of earthen tanks.
Under the cover of the shield cart, the soldiers of the Grassland Legion could soon arrive at the foot of the city wall.
After the front-row shield chariot stands, the shield chariots that arrive later are connected with the front-row shield chariots. Once the front and back are connected, they can immediately form "trenches" with their own ceilings.
The grassland soldiers later could quickly support them through the trenches formed by rows of shield chariots.
The only "heavy weapon" that can effectively threaten the shield car is the only five catapults.
But five slow-firing catapults can destroy several shield cars and kill dozens of grassland warriors with each shot. This piece of paper loss is just an irrelevant minor loss for the large scale and continuous support of the grassland legion.
Therefore, the two sides quickly fought each other.
But Ouyang Jing was not surprised.
He has the strongest warriors, and every warrior is covered in iron and armed to his toes. Even if the grassland army is powerful, what is he afraid of?
So what if we fight in close combat?
Just let the grassland corps shed every drop of blood under the city wall!
The battle situation is generally developing if Ouyang Jing expected it.
The catapult only launched three wheels, and the front shield chariot of the Grassland Legion had arrived thirty meters in front of the city wall.
Then the first row of shield cars stopped, standing in front of the city wall like a wooden wall.
The second row of shield cars arrived and after the first row of shield cars, the ceilings of the front and rear rows of shield cars were combined together, and they were in a tight fit.
Then there is the third row, the fourth row...
Rows of shield cars were all connected together and soon stretched out of the canyon.
In the canyon, man-made "wooden trenches" appeared.
After the "trenches" were formed, the grassland soldiers outside the canyon continued to enter them.
At the same time, the front baffle of the first row of shield cars fell down at the same time, and grassland warriors holding large shields shouted and rushed out of the open exit.
They quickly unfolded their formation under the city wall, held up a large shield, forming an airtight shield wall.
When the number of people gathered enough, another team of archers rushed out and quickly entered the shield wall, placing arrows, and threw rain of arrows at the top of the city.
During this period, Guancheng City had no response.
Only the five catapults were launched one after another, destroying the wooden trench in a short distance from time to time, causing bloody storms.
Pang!
The bow strings roared, and a rain of arrows flew towards the city like locusts.
At the top of Guancheng City, Ouyang Jing stood on a high platform and didn't even look at the flying rain of arrows.
Under the high platform, in front of the battlements, forty centaurs with heavy armor were lined up in a row, with two swords on the sheath, and the arrows were not in the string.
Behind the centaur saga, there were forty tauren warriors with iron bags as well as the hoof. Each tauren warrior had a bamboo basket filled with discus with one foot in diameter.
Yes, discus.
Although the weapon of the axe is extremely lethal, it is too cost-effective.
Using axes as throwing weapons can't be recovered in time in this kind of city defense battle, but it's just giving the enemy equipment.
So Ouyang Jing replaced all the throwing weapons of the Niu Ren with discus.
The Taurus warriors have all practiced the boss team, and they have created the throwing skills created by "Sakya Elephant Throwing" in combination.
With the talent of the Tauren, and with this tailor-made throwing skill, even if the edge of the discus is not sharp, a discus flew out and the warrior in plate armor was hit, he would still break his bones and tendons and would not fall to the ground.
The large iron discus with a diameter of one foot can only be used as a weapon, such as the Taurus, as a wide palm. Even if it is picked up by the enemy, the enemy will not be able to use it on the spot.
Unless they have the time and patience to pick up the discus and melt it, and recast it into another weapon.
The same goes for the arrows of the centaur.
Every centaur's arrow is just the point of the arrowhead, and it is made of stainless steel. The arrowheads outside the arrowhead are made of fragile pig iron.
With the power of the centaur archers with the long bow of the steel arm of the centaur archer with more than 600 kilograms, the arrow hits hard targets such as armor and bones. While penetrating it, under the huge impact, the arrows will either break or deform, which can cause huge damage to the enemy, but it is difficult to leave complete arrows for use by the enemy.
Ouyang Jing and his teammates, including weapon details, have taken into account all aspects. How could this battle be invincible?
The arrows and rained down the city and flew to the top of the city.
Ouyang Jing stood on the high platform, motionless.
The centaurs and the tauren soldiers on the top of the city also remained motionless, but just lowered their heads slightly.
Dingding Dingding Ding Ding...
The rain of arrows fell on the warriors, making only a crisp sound like a ironclad, and only splashed tiny sparks on their helmets and armor, making tiny scratches.
The warrior on the city wall was unscathed.
The enemy archers under the city were still constantly laying arrows. At the same time, under the cover of the shield, they kept approaching the city wall.
Soon, they broke into the city wall within twenty meters.
It was not until this time that Ouyang Jing ordered in a deep voice: "Shooter, volley!"
With a command, forty centaur archers held two arrows in their hands and opened their bows.
Bang!
Amid the sound of firecrackers, eighty pieces of heavy steel armor were facing the raised shield wall, and burst out.
If the arrows of the archers of the grassland army are rainstorms of locusts, then the heavy arrows of the centaur archers are invincible lightning!
Eighty lightning flashes passed through the sky, shooting through the wooden shields raised by the soldiers on the grassland like a broken straw mat, shooting through all the shield hands and the people and the shields!
In just one round of shooting, the shield wall used by the grassland shield soldiers to cover the shooter was broken, and a huge gap was exposed behind them, revealing the uncovered shooter.
The centaur saga players had no expression on their faces, their techniques were as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye, they shot another round.
A group of grassland archers screamed and fell to the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of the powerful arrows leaving the strings kept ringing, and waves of as fast as lightning, as strong as meteors, rushed into the grassland archer formation without mercy. The grassland warriors fell to the ground in pieces, and the gushing blood soon gathered into a blood stream.
A centaur born to shoot at a high speed can shoot three rounds in two seconds under high speed charge.
Then when they are still and perform as much as they want, how high can the rate of fire be?
Two seconds, five rounds!
Forty centaur shooters shot twenty-five heavy arrows in ten seconds.
In each round, eighty arrows can be shot at the same time. Under the storm of two thousand heavy arrows, the vanguard of the grassland legion under the city seemed to be bombarded by a platoon, and in an instant, it was swept away!
Nearly five hundred grassland soldiers were corpsed under the city.
And behind, among the "wooden trenches", grassland warriors were still pouring out continuously.
Ouyang Jing had a expressionless face and ordered in a deep voice: "Sawkward retreat!"
With a steel-arm longbow with a bow of at least 600 kilograms and a maximum of 800 kilograms, it shoots twenty-five rounds in a row within ten seconds. Even these forty centaur shooters all have two-star strength, and each one is a three-star warrior, and must retreat and rest.
Otherwise, even if their physical strength will not be consumed too much for a while, their fingers and arms will leave hidden injuries, affecting long-term combat.
Forty centaur shooters retreated at the same time.
The forty tauren soldiers in the back row picked up bamboo baskets filled with discus and went forward to make up for the seats.
Ouyang Jing ordered again: "Discus shooting."
The tauren warrior shouted in unison, grabbed a piece of iron discus with his huge palm, and swung his thick arms hard. Forty discus, he rotated at high speed, and flew towards the grassland soldiers who were coming toward the city walls as a tornado-like whistling sound.
Bang bang bang bang...
Amid the explosion, grassland warriors, even officers wearing two armored armor, vomited blood whenever they were hit by iron discus, and fell to the ground, and were instantly extinguished.
The one who was hit by the discus in the head was particularly miserable, and the whole head was shattered like a watermelon!
