"Dangdangdang" the weapon made a sound of chiming.

With a sound of "噗嗤", a defender was hacked to death, a spear stabbed over, and a dry soldier was also stabbed to death, but the remaining three dry soldiers immediately formed a triangular formation with their backs against the city wall. The hand is responsible for parrying the attack, and the spearmen behind ambushes the attack. The defenders rushed up and were killed.

In just a short moment, the Qianjun rushed to the city wall and fought for the top of the city. This made the guard Xue Tong startled and angry. After he organized his troops to kill all the Qianjun who attacked the city wall, he immediately ordered: "Come on, push the lifting hammer up!"

After the order was issued, a wooden frame was pushed over, and many people came carrying stones. Thick cables passed through the pulleys on the top of the wooden frame, and one end of the cable was tied to a large basket. They filled the baskets with stones of different sizes!

When the basket was filled with stones, the other end of the cable was pulled back forcefully by a dozen soldiers, and the basket filled with stones was quickly hoisted.

Two soldiers pushed the baskets out of the city wall, and one soldier saw another soldier from below the city rushing up on a wheeled ladder, and immediately shouted: "Let go!"

The dozen or so soldiers on the other side of the rope let go at the same time, and the heavy baskets that were hoisted fell down instantly, and all the soldiers on the wheeled siege ladder were smashed and rolled down.

"pull!"

The defenders on the city wall pulled up the baskets vigorously, and let go when another army rushed up the wheeled ladder, and the baskets filled with stones fell down again. Several times in a row, the attacking army soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Zhao Junsheng's face changed when he saw it, and he immediately ordered: "Tell Gao Xu, the other party has found a way to restrain our wheeled ladder, and if we continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties, call for gold and withdraw!"

Chapter 631 Three Points and One Line Aiming Improves Hit Rate

In the camp, Hua Mulan was teaching her son how to speak. When she saw Zhao Junsheng walking in with a bad face, she asked her son to play aside, and a soldier followed her. Just came back? Did the war not go well?"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his face, "Liu Song's army really has a way of defending the city. Our wheeled siege ladder was restrained by the opponent using a new type of defensive equipment. The defenders have obviously been drilled in defending the city, and there is no chaos at all. The defense is well-organized, just a moment ago, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, so I asked Gao Xu to order the troops to retreat!"

After hearing this, Hua Mulan said, "I've heard that the Southern Dynasties had a good way of defending the city, and it really deserves its reputation. However, you ordered the withdrawal of troops less than an hour into this battle, and it will have a great blow to morale!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "If you don't order the withdrawal of troops, the losses will be even greater, and the impact on morale will be even greater!"

After a while, the army withdrew to the camp, and the staff officials and generals were notified and came to the commander's tent.

Gao Xu was the last to walk in, and Zhao Junsheng asked him, "Well, how many people have you lost?"

Gao Xu replied: "After counting, counting those who were shot and killed by the defenders' crossbow arrows, a total of 160 people were killed and 35 people were injured! When retreating, half of the wheeled siege ladders were killed by the opponent's troops because they did not retreat in time. Lifting heavy objects smashed!"

The number of casualties seemed small, less than two hundred, but when their bodies were laid out one by one and covered with a white cloth, there was a large area, and the scene was shocking and sad.

"Let the Artisan Battalion continue to build wheeled siege ladders and complete them! Although the defenders have a way to restrain the wheeled siege ladders, it doesn't mean that they can't work!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng glanced at the crowd and asked, "How to deal with the defender's lifting hammer? Have you thought of any way?"

On the way back to the camp, everyone was thinking about how to solve the opponent's lifting hammer. The defenders had this thing, and the dry army's wheeled siege ladders were completely useless. Without wheeled siege ladders, the output of offensive troops would be reduced. will be reduced by half.

Wang Huilong stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I think you can use the bed crossbow to deal with the defender's lifting hammer! I have observed it, and it is not easy to move this thing. If we use the bed crossbow, we can remove it before the defenders. There was enough time to launch two to three rounds of crossbows before, but... the defenders also have bed crossbows on the city wall, and there are quite a few of them, and our army's bed crossbows will be restrained."

Cui Hao took the topic and said: "One more thing, as far as I know, there is a problem with the shooting accuracy of the bed crossbow! In addition, the main body of the defender's lifting weight is a large wooden bracket, and the arrows shot by the bed crossbow are uncertain. It can be destroyed! If you use a rocket, it will be easily extinguished if you shoot it!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that no one else could do anything, so he said, "Well, let's not attack the city today, and make preparations for tomorrow's attack. Don't use well rails and trebuchets first. If they are used too early, they will be destroyed." They found a way to restrain it, let's deal with the opponent's lifting hammer first!"

The next morning, the Qian army approached the city again and launched an attack on the city.

Countless dry soldiers rushed to the city wall, the siege ladder was erected, the wheeled siege ladder was pushed under the city wall, and a large number of dry soldiers rushed to the city wall on wooden boards.

The fighting started, countless arrows shot down from the city wall, and stones fell from the top of the city. The soldiers on the ladder and climbing on the outer wall of the city wall suffered considerable casualties and pressure.

In response to the dry army's wheeled siege ladder, the defenders used the lifting weight again, but it was not easy to set up this thing, it was very time-consuming, and it would take a long time to withdraw it. In the short time of hammering, a large number of dry soldiers rushed to the city wall to fight with the defenders, which caused considerable trouble for the defenders.

In order not to affect other city guards, the guard Xue Tong had to mobilize troops from the city to deal with these dry soldiers who had rushed up.

The lifting weight was erected again, and it began to exert its power. Every time it fell, four dry soldiers on the wheeled ladder were smashed down.

Siege Army outside the city

In front of the army formation, a row of bed crossbows was fixed on the ground. The soldiers operated the bed crossbows to aim at the lifting weights on the city wall, adjusting the angle and direction, and placed the crossbow arrows in the firing slots one by one.

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Gao Xu and other generals and school officials stood not far away to observe the situation of the bed crossbow launching and attacking the lifting and lowering of the heavy hammer on the city wall.

"put!"

With a single command, the soldiers dropped their hammers, the triggers were released, and the bowstrings sent the arrows flying.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Shooting 64 crossbow bolts at a time, the hit rate is less than 5.00%. Even if it hits the target, the crossbow bolts are only nailed to the bracket of the lifting weight, and it does not cause much damage to the lifting weight.

Zhao Junsheng frowned.

Gao Xu reminded the bed crossbow commander: "Pay attention to the bed crossbows of the defenders. We have more bed crossbows than they do. We should allocate some bed crossbows to deal with them. Don't let them make trouble!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, walked to a bed crossbow and said to the pawn in charge of the firing direction: "Get out of the way!"

The soldiers retreated to one side as ordered, and Zhao Junsheng walked over to support the crossbow machine of the bed crossbow and found a bed crossbow on the city wall. After roughly estimating the distance, he ordered the soldier in charge of the scale next to him: "Raise a scale!"

The pawns shook the lifting shaft according to his order, and the crossbow was raised by a scale.

At this time, the loader had already loaded the crossbow into the launch slot. Zhao Junsheng used the method of three points and one line to aim at the target bed crossbow on the city wall. At this time, the other party was also operating the bed crossbow to launch out of the city.

After aiming, Zhao Junsheng gave a thumbs up, indicating that it was ready to launch.

The hammerman who received the signal raised his sledgehammer and smashed it down, and with a "swish", the crossbow arrow shot out.

Zhao Junsheng watched intently as the crossbow shot towards the bed crossbow on the city wall, but the crossbow shot on the wall pile under the bed crossbow.

The bowstring was re-stringed by two soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng shouted: "One more scale!"

The pawn next to him immediately shook the elevating shaft of the crossbow machine, the head of the crossbow machine was raised again, and a thick crossbow arrow was loaded into the launch slot again.

Zhao Junsheng quickly regulated and shouted: "Launch!"

With a "bang", the trigger was smashed, and the bowstring ejected the crossbow arrow with great force, "Whoosh—"

"Clatter——" under the gaze of everyone, the crossbow shot the target bed crossbow on the city wall to pieces.

"it is good!"

"Shot!" The people around cheered.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to the bed crossbow commander, beckoning him to come over, and taught him to shoot the crossbow arrows in the three-point-one-line aiming method, and said after the teaching, "You try this method!"

"Yes!" The bed crossbow commander agreed, and stepped forward to operate the bed crossbow himself.

He chose another bed crossbow on the city wall as the target, and tried it once according to Zhao Junsheng's method, but there was a deviation. He then estimated and judged according to the method taught by Zhao Junsheng, adjusted the firing angle, and then used the method of three points and one line aim.
