The gray-black sky suddenly became brighter, as if the sun had risen all of a sudden.
Everyone, including Chang Wu Mo, felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but look up to the sky.
Just now, the trebuchet group on the top of the mountain launched a large-scale attack.
In an instant, it seemed as if a series of bright light bridges were erected in the sky.
Countless fireballs with thick smoke and huge flames roared past and hit their targets hard.
Just a few seconds.
Boom boom boom.
A dull voice sounded.
The sound is not too loud, but continuous.
Wu Baichang, who was halfway up the mountain, and Tu Feihe, who was halfway down the mountain, were all frightened when they heard this.
As he looked at it, Wu Baichang suddenly felt his mouth was a little dry.
"Tieshu, your caravan brought a lot of rubber?"
hey-hey.
Iron Tree Trunk laughs.
The Gu family has now become a large caravan, and naturally it can transport a lot of goods at one time.
He couldn't help but raise his head and glanced far south.
Guangxin or Nanfeng, which are rich in rubber, are not close to Huayang County. Even if the rubber is not as heavy as Panlong in Dingxi County, it will still take two or three months to transport it.
Two or three months...
At that time, the Jade Dragon Fleet had just returned from Baekje, and Huayang and other coastal counties had just announced the discovery of large-scale Japanese pirates.
Before there was even a response from the direction of Star City, Yingpan did not hesitate to let the Gu family's caravan load a convoy full of scrap rubber and drive here.
Rubber products are very popular in the north, such as shoes, rubber buckets, tires, etc., which are in short supply, but they still have to be sold for a while.
It's better this time.
After Zhang Yang tried it for a while, he bought all the rubber without hesitation, and also strongly recommended it to striker Mo Canghai and Donghai Barrier Lu Pingan.
As for silver, there is plenty of money in the Yunchui treasury now.
Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs likes to argue, Huayang County is one of the top ten superior counties in Yunchui, and the county governor will not hesitate to buy it with money, and the more the better...
The second line of defense.
The brave man huddled in the solid stone castle, looking up at the continuous fireballs in the sky, his face turned ashen.
boom!
He punched the wall hard.
"Who will tell me what's going on? Didn't Zhang Yang and the others have no ammunition?"
What's going on with these stone balls, fireballs, and things that burn out and are smelly and sticky?
The guards also looked at each other in confusion.
"General, we have been harassing and attacking the third line of defense for the past two or three days. Zhang Yang at the high point did not help as usual. He should be busy searching for supplies in the surrounding counties."
"As everyone knows, the post roads and roads in Huayang County are very smooth. As long as Zhang Yang wants to find them, he should be able to find some."
But no matter how hard he tries, the number probably won't be too many.
Others nodded in agreement.
"General, let the brothers hold on for a little longer. The attack on the high ground will stop soon."
Hold on, hold on!
Dohi Yongjin was so anxious that he turned around in circles several times.
Now the focus of the trebuchet's attack is on the second line of defense and the subsequent Japanese pirate soldiers. Although the small stone fort where he is located is occasionally attacked, it is only a few times and is not serious.
Despite this, the smell in the air still made many people suffocate. Many people even held their throats and coughed repeatedly, as if they wanted to cough out their lungs just by looking at the movement.
Even if this is the case here, Doi Yongren can completely imagine the situation of the Japanese pirate soldiers who are in the key strike range of the attacking trebuchet.
Arrows can be blocked by shields; heavy cavalry can use hoops to trap horses; rocks falling from the sky can be used to support thick logs or fishing nets; fireballs can be extinguished by falling sand; however, these poisonous gases are pervasive, but when the northwest wind blows, everything they pounce on is
Your own little soldiers.
Doi Yongren was at a loss what to do.
well.
He sighed.
I hope that as the military advisor and bodyguards said, Zhang Yang really doesn't have much of this kind of ammunition.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the attacks from the sky began to become sparse, but Yoshitomo Tobi's face became increasingly ugly.
He can be regarded as a general who has fought many battles. When he looked at the situation in the sky, he knew that it was not that Zhang Yang had run out of ammunition, but that he had already smashed the area around the second line of defense and was now starting to change the direction of his attack.
Sure enough, the attack direction of the trebuchet group slowly moved westward, falling on the second and third lines of defense.
"Someone is coming!"
Doi Yongto could no longer sit still. He looked murderously in the direction of the high ground.
"Send an order to General Mizuno and ask him to immediately lead all his subordinates to support Kazuto and capture the trebuchet on the top of the mountain at all costs."
"Yes!" The messenger turned around and left in a hurry.
The military advisors were shocked.
"General, the Mizuno is a war general class ship, and there are nearly fifty war camp class ships under its command. Sending so many people to attack those hills, isn't it..."
Are there some overkill?
Dohi Yongto gave the military advisor who spoke a faint glance.
Originally, he asked his nephew to lead troops to attack the highlands just to relieve Kazuto Toi's inner demons.
Looking at it now, it is not only the third line of defense in front that determines the outcome of this battle, but also those small highlands.
The third line of defense.
The Japanese pirate soldiers had covered their mouths and noses vigorously, but it had little effect.
The strong and smoky smell still penetrated the throat, nose and eyes through the wet cloth.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, there was a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground everywhere in the sky and on the ground.
However,
Cough cough cough.
Even more intense than them were the bursts of coughing that sounded from all directions.
"General, ahem, brothers can't stand it. Ahem, I would rather have my war horse run over and trample me to death than stay here and be exposed to all this smoke."
"General, give the order, let's kill him!"
"The central army on the opposite side is vulnerable. We might be able to scare them to death if we just charge forward."
…
Amid the commotion, Yamamoto, who was covered with a thick wet cloth, wiped the tears on his face.
brush!
He raised his sword high.
Ahem.
"Brothers, attack. Go to the central army. There is no smoke there."
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
The harsh attack whistle was blown.
The soldiers under Yamamoto's command were refreshed. Although they were still coughing heavily and their eyes were filled with tears, they all threw down the boards they were carrying regardless, grabbed their spears and swarmed towards the west.
There are war horses there, but no poisonous smoke.
At this time, they would rather die under the horses' hooves than remain stationary in the poisonous smoke.
Central Corps, Watchtower.
"Fuck him!"
Although Lin Hanmo didn't have a telescope, he could see clearly at this moment, and he couldn't help but cursed in anger.
"The infantry attacked the horsemen? You really think that our central army is a soft persimmon, don't you?"
"Send the order, since the Japanese pirates are seeking death, we will help them."
More than a hundred heavy cavalry led the way, followed by densely packed light cavalry, and charged directly at the Japanese pirate soldiers not far away.
