The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 460 Skyfire Descends Today I live in fantasy for my brothers... and the monthly ticket with the tail number 9927 will be updated!

Seeing Du Gao's use of the trebuchet, the veteran Han Qiong immediately made a change, mobilizing all the iron shields and big poles to guard the front, so the lethality of such small and medium-sized stones is not enough to kill the equipment equipped with it. Soldiers with shields.

At the same time, Han Qiong ordered that the earth wall of the construction team should not be loosened, and the earth wall should be rammed and connected with the other three gates to surround Suiyang.

At this time, Du Gao has not discovered Han Qiong's intentions, and is trying to break through Han Qiong's shield formation. It's not that Du Gao has no way, but exposing this method will affect the follow-up plan.

Finally, when Han Qiong attacked several times and almost climbed up and over the wooden building, Du Gao finally sacrificed his big killer weapon, the eight-ox crossbow!

Even if Yuan Shaojun was scattered under the city wall to avoid small and medium-sized stones, and the shield soldiers cooperated to walk, they would gather together under the city wall to set up ladders and climb wooden buildings to attack the city.

"The eight crossbows on both sides aim at the middle and cross fire, and the crossbowmen cooperate, firing arrows in volley! Ah! Ah! Ah!..."

Following Du Gao's furious roar, more than a dozen Baoxu crossbows showed ferocious eyes, and crossed shots at diagonal angles made the shield soldiers' shields useless. Not to mention the shooting from the crossbowmen above their heads.

The throwing catapult can't attack such siege soldiers, but the flat-shooting eight-ox crossbow has no defects. The new eight-ox crossbow needs a turntable that can adjust the angle up and down in order to defend the city. The maximum angle can even be increased to 60° above.

An eight-ox crossbow replaced with a quiver can shoot thirty arrows in six seconds. The two ends of the city wall crossed and shot in the middle. In an instant, a rain of arrows came out, and Yuan Shaobing, who was about to climb the wall in an instant, was shot into a hedgehog. More than half of them were killed in one volley.

The bewildered Yuan Shaobing saw such a rain of arrows for the first time, and was still a little dazed when the second salvo came, and he collapsed and fled in an instant.

Even the seasoned Han Qiong was dumbfounded looking at everything in front of him!
The sharp attack of the eight-ox crossbow directly repulsed Han Qiong's onslaught, and the siege troops fled back like crazy. The kind that the supervising team couldn't stop no matter how they killed, even Yuan Shaojun who died under the butcher knife of the supervising team There are hundreds of people.

It can be seen that the power of the eight-ox crossbow has frightened these survivors.

Even though Han Qiong has rich experience in the army for half his life, he went to Xianbei in his early years, quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and fought in civil wars, but this is the first time he has seen such a sharp attack.

While Han Qiong was a little sluggish, Yuan Shao, who was supervising the battle, was also sluggish. They didn't see what (the angle was blocked by the wooden building) that shot so many arrows.

In desperation, Han Qiong could only order to temporarily slow down the siege, and let Yuan Shaojun's catapults continue to smash, and he thought about how to break this sharp defensive equipment. Similarly, Du Gao was thinking about when to destroy Yuan Shaojun's catapults.

If these defensive devices cannot be destroyed, Han Qiong is not going to attack again. It is meaningless to use human life to save Lu Hengjun's arrows. However, Han Qiong stepped up and asked people to build more catapults to smash the wooden buildings as much as possible. This may destroy this defensive weapon.

At the same time, Han Qiong also kept asking the engineering team to continue digging the earth wall a hundred steps forward to form a second barrier after the earth wall formed the encirclement.

Seeing this situation, Du Gao's face was serious, and he finally knew what Han Qiong's intention was, which was to keep pushing forward with the earth wall. After reaching the bottom of the city wall, the defense of the city and the wooden building basically had no defensive meaning.

Under such circumstances, Du Gao first ordered to build a wooden tower outside the range of Yuan Shao's catapult in Suiyang City. He found a person with the best eyesight in the army, went up to the tower to observe the position of Yuan Shao's catapult, and then ordered to throw the catapult. Stone carts attack as much as possible.

After a few days like this, more and more catapults were made by Yuan Shao's craftsmen, densely packed behind the first earth wall, and countless missiles were fired every day. Fortunately, the aim was really bad, but they were also smashed. There are quite a few wooden buildings, and a few are built on the city wall.

Fortunately, Du Gao collected wet cowhide and hemp rope to cover the city wall, which greatly reduced the force of the stone bullets on the city wall.

On this day, Yuan Shaojun made more than fifty catapults, and they were placed densely behind the earth wall. Lu Hengjun's ascent observer drew a simple distribution map with charcoal and handed it to Du Gao, who ordered every aimer Make a copy of each.

"All catapults were exchanged for fierce fire oil tanks for two rounds of scattered shooting, targeting Yuan Shaojun's catapults behind the earth wall, and firing graphite bombs for the third time!"

"Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Dang!"

Under Du Gao's order, countless jars filled with kerosene were thrown out by the catapult, collided with each other in the air and then rained kerosene. They scattered.

"It's fierce oil! Quick! Run!"

Yuan Shaojun still wants to launch stone bombs every day. These days, it has become normal to shoot at each other. There are catapults that have been smashed and people who have been smashed to death. However, compared with the total number of sieges, it is much less. It would be great to capture Suiyang, every Yuan Shaojun soldier thought so.

But suddenly the cans were hit by the opponent one by one, some were hit on the ground, some were hit on the catapult, some were hit on people, and more were broken into large pieces, and there were all veterans present Such a pungent smell, he naturally knew what it was, so he ran away like a jerk.

Before Yuan Shaojun's soldiers ran far, the second wave of pots and a kind of red and black stones were beaten by the enemy. Together with them, the sky was burned, the ground was burned, the trebuchet was burned, and people were burned. up!

In an instant, behind the first stone wall and between the second stone wall, a monstrous fire ignited, engulfing the catapult and fleeing Yuan Shaojun.

When the sky was burned, the jars collided with each other in the air, and the fire oil was spilled and ignited by the burning graphite (charcoal). Looking up, the sky was also a sea of ​​flames.

Together with the trebuchet, Yuan Shao's former army camp and army were engulfed. About 3 people and half of them fell into the sea of ​​flames in an instant. This area was like a lava hell. Pyro wailed in pain, and then turned into piles of coke.

"My lord! My lord! It's not good! Fire! Fire! The sky fire is here! It's full of fire! The sky is on fire! The front army is over! The front army is all over!"

Yuan Shao was discussing with Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Han Qiong, Lu Junyi, Yan Liang and others how to deal with Du Gao's sharp defensive equipment when the messenger suddenly came to report.

Yuan Shao didn't know what was going on with the messenger, so he opened the military tent and looked out. The heat wave came into view and it was indeed a sea of ​​fire and purgatory, although it was far away from the Chinese army!
"Fengqiying, Leiqiying, ride and shoot! Shoot rockets!" There were also roars from Yuan Shao's rear army!
