Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Nine: Giant Crossbow
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."
The sound of war drums became more and more rapid, and the enemy was getting closer and closer! Dongfang Qiang stared at the outside of the city, and Linyuan was surprisingly quiet!
"Be careful of concealment!"
Suddenly, Dongfang shouted.
With the warning from the chief general, the soldiers of the Wuling Army leaned against the wall. What came next would be the enemy's long-range strike.
In order to facilitate the aim of Zhuge's giant crossbow, Dongfangqiang did not order a counterattack immediately. He was going to be a castle cart closer to the enemy.
"Boom boom boom..."
The stone bomb hit the city wall, making a deafening sound. A thick layer of river sand had long been laid on the Linyuan city wall. The stone bomb fell on the river sand and fell directly into it. The secondary killing caused was very limited.
"Run~"
"Kill~"
Seeing that the Wuling Army was suppressed by their own catapults, the soldiers in Jingzhou rushed forward one by one. They were disturbed by the Wuling Army all night last night, and now they were full of anger.
The local catapult cart firepower decreased. Dongfangqiang knew that the enemy was coming soon, so Wu Shun stood up and ordered:
"All soldiers, fight back! Zhuge Jubird, immediately destroy the enemy's siege equipment!"
"Kill~"
Under the command of the chief general, the soldiers of the Wuling Army fought back crazily! For a moment, the rolling stones were rolling wood, and tinder oil was pouring out, and countless soldiers in Jingzhou died tragically!
"Go to the well!"
Seeing that the city's defense power was strong, Zhang Yun immediately ordered that the well railing could effectively suppress the archers on the top of the city and cover the attack of his own soldiers.
"Bangbangbang~"
A series of crisp knocks came, and Zhang Yun hurriedly looked towards Linyuan City. Twenty crossbow arrows as thick as arms flew towards the position of the catapult cart and the well railing.
"not good!"
Zhang Yun was very anxious! The crossbow arrow flew very fast, which showed the energy it contained. If it touched the well railing and the catapult, it would inevitably damage its own equipment.
"Click!"
With a torn, a well railing could not withstand the blow. It was hit by more than ten crossbow arrows at the same time and exploded instantly. The archer above screamed and fell down.
"good!"
"Hahaha~Kill!"
Seeing that our side easily destroyed the enemy's heavy weapons, the morale of the Wuling Army rose sharply!
Zhuge Jubird made a contribution in the first launch, which was equivalent to sending the target position to the catapult in the city. Dongfangqiang was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity for long-range strike. He immediately ordered:
"Trailing attack!"
After receiving the order, a loud shout came from the city: "Light up, let it go!"
More than a dozen fireballs flew into the sky, and after reaching the highest point, they suddenly fell!
"Ah! Run!"
The soldiers in Jingzhou, who were responsible for defending the catapult cart and the well railing, hurriedly dispersed when the fireballs came! The sad archers shattered together when the well railing was smashed.
The damage of the well railing and catapult cart made it difficult for Zhang Yun to accept. But he could not withdraw at this moment, and he still had an advantage in terms of number of people.
"Bangbangbang~"
A palpitational sound came back again, and Zhang Yun's face turned green. This was the prelude to the Wuling Army launching a huge crossbow arrow.
"Click!"
Another well railing was destroyed! The morale of the Wuling Army was getting higher and higher. On the other hand, the soldiers in Jingzhou were somewhat lacking in interest.
"General Liu Lu, lead the troops! rushed over quickly and captured the city wall!"
"yes!"
Liu Lu has been trying to fight for a long time, and he wants to prove his strength.
"Soldiers, follow me!"
Liu Lu was majestic and rushed forward on the war horse. He moved very fast and was extremely conspicuous on the battlefield!
At this time, the fireballs rose again in Linyuan City! Seeing this scene, the soldiers in Jingzhou could only run forward desperately. If they ran fast, they could survive and avoid being hit by the fire bullets.
Those who ran fast naturally avoided the bombing of fire bombs, but the Jingzhou soldiers running behind were not so lucky.
The stones as big as millstones crushed forward with the huge inertial force, and directly plowed blood marks into the crowd! The crushed soldiers in Jingzhou were either dead or injured!
"ah!"
"Save me!"
"Brother, help me and give me some fun!"
Slightly injured, asking for help!
Seriously injured, begging for death!
The siege battle has always been extremely tragic!
"General Guan, that's Liu Pan, shoot him down!"
Seeing that Liu Pan rushed forward, Dongfang Qiang immediately ordered Guan Hai to attack.
"Good!"
The screen threw away the weapon, grabbed the bow and arrow and instantly aimed at Liu Pan who was rushing around the battlefield.
"Swoosh~" The arrow flew out!
"Be careful, General!"
Liu Pan's personal guard noticed the hidden arrow shot by Guan Hai, and flew down Liu Pan, allowing him to escape the disaster. Unfortunately, Liu Pan's personal guard was shot to death by Guan Hai!
"What a pity!"
Guan Hai sighed! At the critical moment, some soldiers sacrificed themselves for Liu Pan!
Liu Pangang, who was lucky enough to save his life, walked away at the gates of hell and never let down his previous arrogance. He hid behind the shield soldiers and began to command the soldiers.
On the Wuling Army, after the fire bombs were bombarded, Zhuge Jubird continued to show his power. After several consecutive rounds of bombardment, the Jingzhou Army had few stone catapults left, and the well gate was completely lost!
"Occurrence! Head up!"
Without long-range power, the Jingzhou army could only rely on archers to cover the siege. The shooting from bottom to top poses little threat to the Wuling army. Liu Pan could only let the soldiers rush up with arrows and stones!
"Bangbangbang~"
The death urge sounded again, and this time there was no fixed target. Zhuge's giant crossbow fired directly at the soldiers in Jingzhou! The effect was amazing and the scene was terrible.
Arrows as thick as arms shot towards dense crowds, and could penetrate more than a dozen people's bodies in one go.
When the strength is exhausted, seven or eight people can be strung together on the arrow! Stripping people together as candied haws scares the Jingzhou army that is sieging the city.
"Hold on! Hold on! Kill on!"
Liu Pan waved his long sword and shouted at the top of his lungs. But it was useless. The morale of the Jingzhou army had already been terriblely hit by Zhuge's giant crossbow!
"Wen Pin, I didn't expect you to have this trick hidden! Send the order and withdraw the troops!"
If you don't do anything, Zhang Yun is unwilling to lose too many people in vain.
Linyuan City has strict defense and is equipped with giant crossbows! It is not easy to notice, causing nearly 10,000 casualties in a short period of time. Zhang Yun is very depressed!
"Retreat! Retreat!"
After hearing the signal of retreating, Liu Pan was delighted and hurriedly ordered to retreat! Finally, he should not face the terrible hidden arrow.
When they received the order to retreat, the Jingzhou army would run desperately to the rear, fearing that the Wuling army would chase them out.
Looking at the battlefield filled with fireworks coldly, Dongfang Qiang squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he finally relaxed with his frown.
"Count the number of casualties immediately! Clean the battlefield!"
When the Dongfang Qiang ordered the soldiers cheered directly. The biggest contributor in this battle was the Zhuque Legion. It was their long-range strike that destroyed the fighting spirit of the Jingzhou Army. They had only 200,000 troops, but they had no choice but to use Linyuan City!
"General, why don't you order a pursuit? The enemy has already made up his courage. It's a good time to expand the results of the war."
Guan Hai found Dongfang Qiang and asked why he didn't go out of the city to pursue him.
"The enemy's 200,000 troops were defeated today, and it was not painful to Zhang Yun. We can only guard the city and fight out of the city. It's not time yet!"
Guan Hai likes to lead troops to fight and charge forward, so he can ignore the overall situation. As the commander of this war, Dongfang Qiang naturally dares not be careless.
The Xuanwu Legion and the Suzaku Legion have only 40,000 people. If it weren't for relying on the city wall and the benefits of weapons, how could it be Zhang Yun's opponent?
If you go out of the city to chase the enemy, if you are counterattacked, the joke will be big. Dongfangqiang believes that if there is a chance to pursue, Dongfangqiang outside the city will definitely take action.
"General, when will you be able to leave the city and kill the enemy quickly?"
Guan Hai asked unwillingly.
"Haha, General Guan, don't worry, as long as you have the opportunity, you will be able to leave the city and kill the enemy with great pleasure."
