Come to Song Dynasty with the system

A soldier who was standing in front of the observation hole also started to fire arrows. Because it was the first actual combat, many of the arrows fired by them were completely inaccurate. Once the arrow was shot, they had no idea where it hit.

In the first round, only Jiang Xie, a veteran, hit a charging Liao soldier in the leg with an arrow, knocking him to the ground.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Xie looked at the result, took a deep breath, and then shot the second arrow.Fortunately, the effect of this arrow was good. It hit a Liao soldier in the chest and knocked him to the ground.

The other peasants and soldiers, after the initial panic, also slowly entered the state of mind.

They couldn't help but think of some training essentials in their minds. In addition, the enemy was right in front of them and could not hurt them, which made them gradually become bolder.

The arrows were shot one after another. At first, they used composite bows because of the long distance. Later, when the enemy was closer, they used eight consecutive shots. Under the watchtower, the number of casualties of the Liao soldiers began to slowly increase.

"Smash it, hit it hard."

More and more Liao soldiers came under the watchtower, using the sleepers they carried to knock against the iron gates and the reinforced concrete buildings under the watchtower.

Of course, it won't work once or twice, but if it is smashed too many times, it will only cause damage and cannot be repaired, and the appearance of the watchtower begins to fall off layer by layer.

Of course, during this process, they also suffered great pressure. Not only the watchtower in front of them, but also some nearby watchtowers also shot their bows and arrows.

Every moment, the Liao soldiers were suffering death, and they banged the "turtle shell" in front of them hard.

The comrades around him were all wounded by arrows or shot to death, but no one retreated.

They couldn't retreat at this time. They finally rushed here. If they retreated, they would inevitably have to pay a heavy price if they tried to rush back again.

Without fear of death, the iron gate of the first watchtower became loose.

Inside the watchtower, Jiang Xie looked at the dense Liao soldiers outside and the Liao soldiers coming here in a steady stream. He knew that he would not be able to escape this time.

If you can't escape, you can't escape. When he came here, he had prepared for the worst.What you have to do now is to kill more enemies in the last limited time.

"Go out with a few people and guard the iron gate. If the Liao soldiers rush in, cut them down. The others continue to shoot, shoot out all the arrows, and destroy all those composite strong bows. Even if we die, we can't Leave such weapons to the enemy."

Jiang Xie shouted loudly, and then the movements in his hands continued to speed up. As soon as the arrows in the eight-shot series were installed, they would be shot out quickly, causing greater damage to the Liao soldiers.

Less than half an hour later, with the persistence of the Liao soldiers, the iron gate was finally broken open from the outside, followed by a hand-to-hand exchange.In the end, there were still too few soldiers to assist the farmers. In such a close battle, they were quickly overwhelmed by the Liao soldiers, and soon enough, the first watchtower was captured by the Liao soldiers.

Thirty dragon soldiers, including Jiang Xie, were all killed in the battle.

The price the Liao army paid for this was about 500 people were shot dead and injured. The casualty ratio was nearly [-] times, which gave the commander-in-chief Luo Changmeng a headache.

Although he also knew that these casualties were not only caused by this watchtower

, and other nearby Longjun watchtowers are providing support.This is the scary thing about the watchtowers. They can cooperate with each other and rely on the strength of each other. Whichever one you attack, you need to face attacks from all directions.

After taking down one of the Long Army's watchtowers, Luo Changmeng didn't show any joy on his face. All he could think about now was one question, that is, faced with so many watchtowers, the Liao Army wanted to capture them all. So how much does it cost?

The battle continues and it will never stop just because someone is injured or someone dies.

One morning passed, and two more watchtowers were captured by the Liao army.

In the afternoon, the Liao army captured three more watchtowers.At this point, within one day, a total of 180 Dragon Army soldiers in six watchtowers were killed, and no one escaped.Or some people want to withdraw but have no chance.

They only captured six watchtowers, but the price paid by the Liao army was about 3000 people.

Especially as you go to the back, the dragon army's towers become denser. If you rush forward, the attacks you will receive will become more fierce.

It finally got dark, and the Liao soldiers began to camp nearby, preparing to rest for a night before launching an attack tomorrow.However, Luo Changmeng, the general, did not sleep. Instead, he was thinking hard in his military tent, wondering if there was any easier way to capture the tower. Otherwise, he would just use the stupid method in front of him. Who knows if he would hit the tower? when?Who knows how big the losses will be?

"boom!"

Just when Luo Changmeng had no clue, a sound like an earth dragon turning over sounded, causing the earth to tremble.

Luo Changmeng, who was thinking about something, stood up immediately.

"What's going on? What happened outside?"

He trotted out of the military tent immediately. Luo Chang dreamed of asking what happened. As he followed his gaze, he saw a huge boulder appear in his sight, falling from the sky towards the person in front of him. It was smashed down on the Liao army's tent.

boom!

The boulder fell to the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground, and was accompanied by the screams of the Liao soldiers who were resting in the military tent.

"Catapult?"

When he saw the boulder falling to the ground, Luo Changmeng immediately knew what was going on. He waved his hand and called a soldier and said: "Go, send out the scouts and ask them to check where the Dragon Army's catapult is." , how far is it from us?”

According to Luo Changmeng's idea, the attack range of the catapult is limited. Under normal circumstances, the attack range is only three hundred steps, which is about 450 meters in later generations, not even one mile.It's not difficult to find them.

The boulders were still falling. Many Liao soldiers had been awakened and did not dare to stay in the military tent. When they came outside, they would look to the sky at any time. Once they found a boulder falling, they would run away.Although they couldn't figure out where the boulder landed, and they mostly ran around, it would be much better psychologically than staying where they were.

"Tell the generals to hold on. Once you find the enemy's catapult, you can rush over and destroy it." Luo Changmeng said to the generals who came around him, still encouraging them.But then, when the dispatched scouts came back, they told them the approximate location of the catapult.

It should be to the south, among the towers, and the distance must be far more than three hundred steps, when Luo Changmeng's last strength of persistence disappeared.

How could a catapult protected by a tower be so easily destroyed?

Just say that if you want to rush to the tower, you don't know how much price you have to pay.In addition, it was dark, what if there was an ambush of the main force of the Dragon Army on the opposite side?

Without knowing the enemy's situation, rush forward and suffer death?

Also, the distance is more than three hundred steps, what the hell is this?

Could it be that Long Jun has developed some new method on the catapult, which can attack from a farther distance?

Luo Changmeng would probably not believe such a thing if it happened to other people, but if it happened to the Dragon Army, everything would be so logical.Su Shi, the First Emperor of the Dragon, always seems to be able to create something that they have never seen before. What does it mean to improve a catapult?

"Hey, order the army to retreat!"

Completely unaware of the enemy's situation, Luo Changmeng could only sigh and issue the order to withdraw his troops.They gave up the six watchtowers they had managed to capture during the day and had a limited territory.

The Long Army's catapult was of course modified.

It was originally just a wooden structure, but now it has been changed by the Science and Technology Bureau to be made entirely of steel. With the addition of thick and powerful springs, the attack distance has changed from the original three hundred steps to the current eight hundred steps, which is 1000 and two hundred steps. rice.

Not to mention that it has extended nearly three times the distance, its accuracy has also been greatly improved due to its own stability.

Even though the interfaces for many weapons in the system did not appear at all, Su Shi thought of developing them himself.After the Science and Technology Bureau obtained the mission, the Bureau

Under the leadership of Chief Liu Chuan, everyone worked day and night on research and development, and finally got it.It was just delivered to the front line cross in the afternoon. In the evening, it was taken out by Deputy Minister Ji Zhu who was commanding at the front line and used in actual combat.

"The effect is very good, but it's a pity that it's a little lacking, haha." Putting down the infrared telescope in his hand, Ji Pingan laughed when he saw that the Liao army had begun to retreat and the barracks was in a mess.

"This is already very good. The Science and Technology Bureau has limited manpower. I heard that this is the result of Director Liu Chuan's busy work for half a month. I also heard that Director Liu lost six or seven kilograms because of this. Your Majesty, why don't you go During the inspection, he was ordered to rest immediately, and he was put to sleep while being detained." Deputy Wang Can laughed and told some of the news he heard.

"Well, this time Liu Chuan has made a great contribution. Not to mention, His Majesty has said before that studying things (science) is the primary productive force. At that time, I was still dissatisfied. Now it seems that His Majesty still has a long-term vision."

Ji Zhu let out a sigh and returned to his senses. He then said to Wang Can beside him: "The Liao soldiers have retreated. You should immediately take people to repair the watchtowers."

Wang Can is now the actual leader of the black cavalry reinforcement camp. Even though he only has a thousand cavalry in his hands, they are all elites.It's a pity that Su Shi has no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and there is no room for the cavalry to play, so he is now temporarily transferred to the task of repairing the watchtowers.

"Yes." After standing at attention and saluting a military salute, Wang Can trotted straight ahead with the craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time.

Besides, the Liao army stayed overnight

After retreating for ten miles, they stopped. Seeing that the dragon army did not pursue them, Luo Changmeng breathed a sigh of relief.After struggling for half the night, he was really tired, so he tilted his head and fell asleep.
