"Then why do you think the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent so many archers up the ladder? Even two stone bows can't shoot through our heavy armor from such a distance!" He Qizhou looked at the ladder thirty feet away. There were soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty carrying bows and arrows on their backs.
Climb up.
Jiang Shuo sighed: "Oh, what they want to shoot is our light armored soldiers. The heavy armored soldiers wait until the opponent has almost climbed up the wall to block the crevices, and the only ones who can lift heavy objects and throw them down are the light armored soldiers. The people around you are strong and good at
Most of the bows are strong bows with one stone, five to two stones, and the distance of thirty feet is exactly the distance at which they can attack us, but we cannot attack them!"
The city wall, which is less than twenty feet short, has almost twelve crenels. Each crenel is piled with stones, rolling logs, and more than a hundred light and heavy armored soldiers, hiding under the wall. Behind the wall, which is more than four feet wide, there are
Two large pots were placed, and light smoke was rising from the oil in the pots. Hundreds of porcelain bottles and jars were placed beside the pots. A large drum was placed in the middle of the city wall, directly above the city gate.
He Qizhou asked Jiang Shuo for two bows worth one stone and five bags of arrows, and four bags of arrows. Even if he couldn't shoot through the heavy armor, he could always shoot the eyes of the soldiers climbing the stairs.
"Dong-dong-dong-" The first person to beat the drum was Zhou Jun. With the sound of the drum, thirty heavy armored soldiers pushed the crash cart and rushed madly towards the city gate thirty feet away. Others moved with the crash cart.
There are four ladders, and there are about 20 people under each ladder. The big iron hooks at the top of the ladders have been stretched out like the arms of a mantis, just waiting to get close to the city wall and hold on to the battlements! The soldiers pushing the carts
Half of them were holding a long herringbone shield, raising the tip of the shield above their heads, just enough to cover the range of the two people.
"Prepare the crossbow! Calculate the speed and shoot!" Jiang Shuo ordered, and two shirtless strong men in the city also started beating drums. There was a shield bearer on the north side of the two to block the arrows for them.
Twenty-five to ten feet away from the wall is the attack range of the bed crossbow. Obviously those Northern Zhou soldiers knew this well. They started at a distance of five feet. As long as they rushed past another fifteen feet, the bows and arrows on the top of the wall would not threaten them!
"Whoosh - Whoosh -" As the giant arrow, seven feet long and one inch thick, shot down through the air, several of the armored soldiers who were pushing the crossbows were hit by the arrows. Those who were hit by the arrows were not penetrated by the armor.
He was knocked away by the giant arrow and vomited blood. But the bed crossbow was too slow to string up. The six bed crossbows only fired ten arrows, killing only four people.
Then the people on the wall watched helplessly as four ladders came up, and iron buckles weighing hundreds of kilograms were fastened to the battlements. The brackets under the ladders automatically fell down with the force of the collision with the city wall, and were firmly embedded in the soil.
In the middle, the ladder suddenly merged with the city wall, and no matter how much the soldiers above slashed it with swords or axes, it would be of no avail.
At this time, the crash car had begun to hit the city gate, and there was a loud "Bang!". The expected shaking of the city gate did not occur, because the inside was already blocked tightly, and with the pouring of ice water, it was no longer in contact with the city wall.
Different. Those soldiers who desperately pushed the cart suffered a big loss. They originally thought that the cart would rebound after the collision. Unexpectedly, after hitting the solid city gate, the cart couldn't bear the force when it hit the wood. Four or five wheels were knocked off at once.
, the thirty soldiers also fell to the ground.
The soldiers on the wall looked for the right moment, and huge boulders fell from the sky. After accelerating a distance of ten feet, they smashed the soldiers under the city into howling like ghosts! In just one collision, there were more than ten casualties; only half of them relied on sharp shields.
After escaping the falling rocks, or luckily escaping from the rain of rocks, the survivors did not evacuate, but ran towards the ladders that were already on the city wall. The soldiers who smashed the rocks above the city gate also suffered casualties, and the eight soldiers who were stopped thirty feet away were also injured.
A ladder was set up, and six people each climbed to the top and shot arrows at the top of the city. Just throwing a round of stones, five people were hit by arrows!
The drum beat of the Zhou army became more and more intense, and more than a hundred soldiers dispersed in formation and rushed towards the ladder at the edge of the city. This time, the six crossbows only hit one person. The soldiers who had reached the city kept attacking the city with ants.
.With soldiers clinging to it, the people on the city were even more unable to shake the ladder.
"Throw rocks when you are halfway up, throw logs when you are two-thirds of the way up, and smash the oil cans when you are three-quarters of the way up!" Jiang Shuo ordered in an orderly manner. There were well-trained elite soldiers in the city. Seeing Zhou Jun
The battle was sure to win, and there was no hint of timidity.
Because of the ladder as a target, the lightly armored soldiers on the wall only need to hide behind the wall and throw stones out to accurately hit the armored soldiers attached to the ants. However, the falling force of the stones is not great. The person climbing on the top will
Relying on the herringbone-shaped pointed shield, the stones were easily bounced away. The impatient Qi soldiers, regardless of their safety, stood up straight and hit the stones hard. Although they knocked over a Zhou soldier in the lead, they themselves were also
He was hit by several arrows flying from the ladder on the opposite side and from the ground.
In anger, He Qizhou used his bow to shoot at the archer thirty feet away. Although the bow was soft, the distance was still within his shooting range. However, the opponent's archer was also a heavily armored soldier. Although he hit several arrows in a row, none of them were able to shoot.
It was not injured at all. After all, it is too difficult to hit the eye with a soft bow! When He Qizhou was distressed, he suddenly thought that the heavy armor he was wearing had empty holes under his armpits. The opponent must be the same, otherwise he would not be able to move at all.
, armpits are much easier to cum than eyes!
With this in mind, He Qizhou only waited for the opponent to draw his bow before shooting. After shooting the previous few arrows, he was already familiar with the bow and arrow in his hand and the direction of the wind at that time.
Halfway there, he was suddenly hit by an arrow in his armpit. Although the arrow wound was not fatal, he was so frightened that he lost his footing and fell down a ladder more than ten feet high! He died.
He Qizhou saw that this move was effective, so he tried it again and hit another person. However, this person was standing on the same ladder as the previous person. When he saw someone falling, he had already wrapped his legs tightly around the ladder. Although the arrow was hit, it did not fall, only under his armpit.
He was hit by an arrow and could no longer shoot! He Qizhou changed a ladder to shoot, and sure enough he shot down another person.
At this time, Zhou's camp had discovered the sharp archers on the other side's wall, and they all turned their arrows to shoot at He Qizhou. Some even shouted: "Shoot the heavy-armored archer near the battlements!"
Because there was only one heavy armored soldier in the Qi camp who held a bow, and the others were either hammers or short axes, so after this call, not only the archers on the eight ladders, but also more than a hundred Zhou soldiers behind the ladders rushed to
He shot upward. Although it was extremely difficult to hit the target when shooting upward from the ground, there were so many arrows and many of them could hit the target!
He Qizhou screamed strangely and squatted down hastily. He did not dare to test the quality of the heavy armor on his body. Besides, there were many arrows coming towards his face. But some people seemed to have expected that he would squat down, and an arrow shot from behind unexpectedly suddenly
Jumping out of the bush of arrows, they rushed towards He Qizhou's door!
He Qizhou was startled. He would not be afraid if he was guarding against an arrow alone. However, he did not expect that the opponent would be so scheming. He would use hundreds of arrows as a cover just to shoot this arrow. His timing and scheming were both top-notch.
Now that He Qizhou's strength has greatly increased, how could he be easily attacked? Because he was afraid of hurting the people around him, he did not dare to slap the arrow to one side. Instead, he waved his hand to block the arrow in front of the door, holding the long arrow close to the tip of his nose.
Flying upward, although it is a bit risky, you are still confident!
It was Shen Tinggu! Behind the arrow stack, Qi Zhou saw that Shen Tinggu had rushed to a place a few feet away in front of Helian Changying and was setting up the second arrow!
"Then come!" He Qizhou whispered, leaned down and jumped towards another arrow stack, then suddenly stood up and shot an arrow...
Shen Tinggu seemed to have expected that He Qizhou would move, moving the arrow tip left and right, waiting for the opponent to appear. Almost at the same time as He Qizhou was shooting, he shot another arrow. In fact, he also knew that at such a long distance, it was almost impossible to hurt him.
Qi Ren was also a master of archery. But as long as he prevented him from shooting at the archer on the ladder again, it was a success! But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's arrow did not hit him, nor did it hit the armor-covered horse's chest.
It was shot at the calf of the war horse which was several inches wide!
After all, Shen Tinggu was a master. Although he was not sure whether the arrow would hit, it would be very embarrassing if his mount was shot dead. In desperation, he rolled off his horse and threw it directly.
He took out the bow in his hand and smashed away the arrow just before it hit the horse's leg. The horse was frightened by this and immediately stood up. Shen Tinggu, who originally wanted to hook the horse's neck and get on the horse, grabbed the air with one hand and fell heavily.
On the ground, I didn’t dare to get up immediately because there were dozens of arrows whizzing towards me from the wall^
Shen Tinggu was wearing light armor. Although he could protect his whole body with his internal strength, being stuck with a few arrows was not fun after all. He hurriedly rolled and crawled to avoid the rain of arrows, but the horse was still standing in the end.
During that time, he was hit by several arrows in the abdomen. After falling to the ground, he kept beating the beast. It was obviously useless.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing one of the opponent's generals in such a state of embarrassment, the Qi soldiers, including He Qizhou, burst into laughter. After He Qizhou attracted some attention, the city guards smashed big rocks on the heads of the four ladders.
, several people were knocked over at once!
"Who are you!" Shen Tinggu shouted in anger, and his voice filled with internal power instantly penetrated the battlefield with loud killings and reached the city wall. The voice even made He Jing a little scared.
Sikong Lang is even stronger!
"I won't change my name in office, or my surname in office. My surname is Gu, and my name is Tingfu!" He Qizhou shouted loudly.
"Father Gu Ting, do you dare to come down and challenge me?" Shen Tinggu took a step forward, raised his head and asked, but he felt a little weird while asking.
"Okay, then tell everyone else to get out! Father, get down right now!" He Qizhou continued his rogue character.
"Shu Zi is looking for death!" Shen Tinggu suddenly remembered that he often went by the pseudonym Gu Ting, and his given name was also Gu Ting. He was considered a prominent figure in the Zhou Dynasty, and the other party was taking advantage of him.
"Good son, come up if you have the ability!" He Qizhou said this, without stopping, he changed his position and shot an arrow at the archer on the ladder. But at this time, the other party was on guard against him, so how could he still
It can be easily hit, but the frequency of firing arrows is greatly reduced, giving soldiers who throw boulders at the wall more opportunities to take action.
Although people continued to be knocked down, there were still soldiers rushing up on the four ladders. After the people in the front fell, the soldiers in the rear would always pass their sharp shields to the soldiers in the front row. Soon there were three ladders,
The soldiers in the front row rushed to two-thirds of the height, and then they saw the rolling log weighing several hundred kilograms above rolled down at a great speed under the lift of many soldiers!
