"The city is under siege!"

"The city is under siege!"

When the war drums sounded, Liang Jun, the guard on the city wall, began to prepare.

In fact, it's nothing. The city defense battle is relatively traditional and there is nothing special about it. What gives Liang Jun confidence is that they are also equipped with powerful weapons... that is the bed crossbow!

Bed crossbow, also known as eight cow crossbow.

It is named after it has the power of eight oxen.

There is a heavy sandalwood bed frame and an ironwood crossbow body, one crossbow with three bows, three thick bow bodies, and a thumb-thick bow string made of thick brass-wrapped rubbing wood and bison horn.

The whole thing is extremely heavy and heavy, and it takes ten soldiers to lift it. It is precisely because of its heavy weight that the huge crossbow arrows can be stable when fired, and the direction can be guaranteed to remain unchanged.

Its range can reach 800 steps, and within 500 steps, whether it is attacking the enemy formation or killing the cavalry rushing into the formation, it is definitely a deadly weapon, and its power is extremely powerful!

You have artillery, I have crossbow.

This is the pinnacle of cold weapons!

The bed crossbow has been put in place and the angle has been adjusted. It has the same shortcomings as the artillery. It can only be fixedly placed and bombarded at a predetermined angle. As long as the attacker attacks from the blind angle, the bed crossbow will be just a decoration.

.

In the same way, applying this experience to artillery was the same, Zhu Zhen only thought of it later.

However, in such large-scale operations, it can still exert huge lethality.

The crossbows are in place, the archers are in place, the shield bearers are in place, and the spearmen are in place.

The city's defense supplies such as boulders and kerosene are quite abundant.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Zhen also borrowed three thousand strong archers from Fan Rong, the son of Wei general Fan Huazang.

They will also be an important force in defending the city and can directly shoot the enemy's main generals. In short, Liang Jun is quite well prepared.

But there is something wrong with the appearance of Daning's army.

The army has just arrived and has not yet rested. It is obviously inappropriate to attack the city directly at this time when the men and horses are exhausted.

And they don't have large siege equipment.

"Such a siege is child's play. This is not Emperor Yuanwu's style. Maybe there is some conspiracy!"

Zhu Zhen, who was in the turret, had an overview of the battlefield command situation. Although he didn't want to see Guan Ning, he still couldn't worry about the situation of the battle and rushed over in person.

"No matter what the enemy's plot is, we will remain unwavering and just defend the city."

Zhu Zhen quite has the mood of letting others be strong when he is strong, and the breeze is blowing over the hills.

If you want to mess with my mind, you want to eat shit!

Zhu Zhen has calmed down.

He cannot be impulsive and cannot give Guan Ning any chance.

The city wall was well prepared, watching the enemy slowly approaching.

Two phalanxes advanced slowly, each with 5,000 men. There was a huge shield standing in front of them, so the enemy had no chance to shoot.

Liang Jun didn't shoot either. It wasn't time yet, so shooting was just a waste of arrows.

"Ignore it."

Zhu Zhen gave the order.

"We will wait until the enemy troops arrive at the city. They don't even have ladders with them. This is to waste our strength."

Zhu Zhen sneered: "It's finally time for us to defend the city."

He enjoyed this feeling very much.

"General Yuan reported that the enemy has entered the shooting range of strong archers and requested orders."

"Ignore it."

Zhu Zhen said: "Strong archers can shoot enemy generals. How can we waste it on these small soldiers?"

Soon there was another report.

"The enemy has reached the shooting range of our archers and is requesting orders."

The shooting range of strong archers is farther, and as the enemy army advances, it has reached the shooting range of ordinary archers.

"I told you not to pay attention."

Zhu Zhen continued to wait and see.

At this moment, Daning's phalanx has stopped and entered the enemy's shooting range, which means that it has also reached the range where they can shoot the enemy.

The shield bearers in the front remained unchanged, and the archers in the rear drew their bows and shot arrows.

"Isn't this the Wei army's strategy for attacking the city?"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhen spoke immediately, but it didn't bother him.

No need for his orders.

All the soldiers on the city wall and even beyond raised wooden shields, or used whole wooden boards to block their heads and front.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Following the dense sound, arrows shot onto the wooden board one after another.

Plank borrows arrows!

Arrows are consumables, no matter how many you have, they are never enough, hence this strategy.

All the arrows hit the wooden board without any impact on the soldiers.
