Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370

To be honest, there is indeed an easy way to prevent the bridal chamber cars from sticking to the city wall, and that is to create obstacles in front of the city wall.

In order to clear these obstacles, people had to be sent out, but these people were not protected by cave carts, and they would be attacked by the defenders on the city wall, and their fallen bodies became new obstacles again.

But if the obstacles are not cleared, these burrow cars will not be able to get close to the city wall and cause damage to the city wall.

So even though Zhu Wei's house-cave carts have buried a section of the moat in front of the city wall of Yicheng, they still have no way to continue digging the rammed earth city wall against the city wall of Yicheng.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei didn't intend to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall of Yicheng this time. After all, the city wall is too thick, even if it uses black powder jars, it may not be able to collapse.

Besides, Liu Biao's troops in Yicheng, the county seat, also had a lot of troops. Even if Zhu Wei blasted the city wall, Liu Biao's army still had a certain advantage in attacking Yicheng, so this time Zhu Wei was going to use other methods to attack the city.

Following the change of the sound of Zhu Wei's army's trumpets and drums, the cave carts in front retreated one after another, and then a dozen or so bamboo and wood carts that were as tall as buildings were pushed forward from Zhu Wei's formation. .

In front of the high-rise cart, it seems to be a high wall spliced ​​with pieces of thick wood, and a platform is built on the top like a scaffolding at the back, allowing people to climb to the platform and directly level with the city wall. Even half a body higher than the city wall.

Pushing them to the front of Yicheng in this way, it seems that more than ten arrow towers have been built in front of the city wall of Yicheng.

Of course, these high-rise carts are not very stable now. After all, they are mobile platforms with bamboo and wood structures. As the carts below move, the high platform frame above is in danger of overturning.

Therefore, soon another auxiliary soldier brought long moso bamboo poles with hooks, and hung them on the brackets above the cart, which could not only play a supporting role at the back of the cart, but also hold the cart The trend of overturning forward, so that the cart can be pushed more steadily, standing firmly in front of Yicheng.

At this time, Tai Shici and Chen Ying took the remaining [-] troops of the Shenjian Battalion, followed these tall buildings and carts to Yicheng, and joined Bao Long's [-] troops in front, and became the attacking force sent by Zhu Wei. city ​​troops.

When these high-rise carts stabilized, Tai Shici personally led a lot of archers to climb up to the arrow rest on the high-rise carts. Divided look.

The archers standing on the arrow rests on the top of these high-rise carts can hide behind the narrow shooting gaps made of some wooden boards and directly attack Liu Biao's guarding soldiers on the city wall.

Seeing that the tall buildings and carts in front were almost ready, Zhu Wei's army had a lot of auxiliary soldiers, who brought many siege ladders to Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion.

"Boom boom boom boom... boom boom boom boom..."

The siege drum sounded, and Tai Shici led [-] soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion to launch the first round of siege trials against Yicheng. Almost all the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion were composed of dozens of high-rise carts. The moving walls of the city acted as barriers, pushing the tall buildings and carts gradually approaching Yicheng, and soon entered the range of bows and arrows of both sides.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Tai Shici, who had also climbed onto the arrow rest of the high-rise cart, commanded the archers on the arrow rest to take the lead in attacking the city wall of Yicheng. Almost all the arrows with feathers found their targets and shot.

Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion was originally expanded on the basis of [-] archers and [-] crossbowmen. Up to now, the Divine Arrow Battalion still maintains the base number of [-] archers and [-] crossbowmen. Ten thousand swords and shield soldiers.

Now the Divine Arrow Battalion is on the side of Guishe Gorge with about [-] archers, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] sword shield soldiers, so there are [-] archers and [-] crossbowmen on Taishici's side that can be used as long-range weapons. attack use.

And Tai Shici's archery was originally one of the best among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. With the addition of Ma Zhong, a shooting star archer, the archer trained by the two of them is naturally an elite archer of this era, definitely better than ordinary archers. Bing's archery is more accurate.

At this time, at least a thousand archers could stand on the arrow tower built by more than a dozen high-rise carts, and so many archers shot at the guarding soldiers who had no barriers to dodge on the city wall at the same time. Feather arrows.

Just after a round of feather arrows, the guards on the city wall had turned down hundreds of people, and the remaining guards either leaned against the arrow piles on the city wall in panic, or they were looking for large or small shields to protect them. look at yourself.

This is the first time they have encountered such a situation. Generally speaking, shouldn't the defending party slaughter the attacking party?

But what are these ten towers standing in front of the city wall, which are higher than the city wall? Why can the enemy army stand on such a high platform and shoot arrows at themselves through the gaps between some wooden boards? I can't see the other party's figure very much here.

They really didn't expect that they, as the defenders of the city, would be attacked by the attackers in this way.

Although the basic officers of the guards on the city wall, such as the military marquis and the head of the village, kept urging the soldiers not to panic, and let these soldiers hide their arrows with the help of arrow stacks and shields, the situation on the city wall gradually stabilized.

However, the archers of the guarding soldiers could not make an effective counterattack against the enemy archers on the high platform of the tower, because they could hardly see the enemy archers.

These archery holes constructed at the platform of the arrow tower at the upper end of the high-rise cart are not the arrow stack structure on the city wall, but some gaps for shooting arrows are left between the wooden walls made of pieces of wood.

These gaps are almost as wide as a fist, enough for the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion to see the position of the defenders on the city wall, enough for feather arrows to shoot out of the gaps, and enough for them to slaughter the defenders on the city wall.

It is too high a requirement for the archers of Liu Biao's defenders on the city wall to shoot feather arrows precisely into these gaps and hurt the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

This is almost a hundred steps away, the strength to hit the red heart of the target with an arrow.

For the vast majority of archers, this is impossible. If they can hit the target every time, they are already proficient in archery.

Therefore, most of the feathered arrows that Liu Biao defended in Yicheng counterattacked were nailed to the arrow shields of tall buildings and carts, but they could not pose much threat to the archers of the Shenjian Battalion hiding behind.

The result of this is that the archers of Zhu Wei's side of the Divine Arrow Battalion can use high-rise carts to pose a certain area of ​​suppression threat to Liu Biao's defenders on the city wall, but the defenders on the city wall are against Zhu Wei's divine arrows. Battalion Archers are not a threat.

Although the defenders can also shoot rockets and ignite the arrow-deflecting wooden boards hung on the high-rise carts, it is enough for the archers of the Shenjian Battalion hiding behind to shoot several arrows before burning and burning the arrow-deflecting wooden boards. Feather arrows...
