After going back and forth, killing and injuring countless soldiers, the first thick plank finally reached the west bank of the Luzuo River.
Woohoo.
The Japanese pirate soldiers cheered and jumped over the backs of the bridge-building brothers.
Carrying large and small shields, they rushed toward the river like ants moving like crazy.
put!!!
Sure enough, countless roars sounded from this side of the river.
Boo hoo hoo.
The large and small arrows almost solidified into a ball, and they were shot densely towards the newly built bridge.
Do do do do.
Before penetrating the central army, we naturally accepted the trebuchets and heavy crossbows lying low on the right and left wings.
"No one should panic, please stay away."
It’s Tsukamoto Taro and his intention.
"Yes!" The soldiers responded cheerfully and ran slowly towards their posts.
Boom boom boom.
Plop, plop.
————
The Grand Military Advisor was stunned for a moment, then reacted slowly, and then nodded slightly.
"But Qian Chang," the soldier from No. 7 Battalion couldn't help but hesitate, "Where is the rear line?"
Despite Xiafeng's repeated urging, the Japanese pirate soldiers changed from their normal behavior.
"It's because we're worried about wasting ammunition. General Lin said we don't have enough ammunition on hand."
"so bad."
Without the shield, in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere on the bridge.
"It's the generals' business to dispatch troops. If they disobey orders, they will be ruined. Why worry about it?"
However, before the voice of the little military advisor fell.
The trebuchet strikes came and went slowly.
However, Mr. Hao You forgot that we all had wounds on our bodies, and that slap made both of us so painful that our teeth and mouths were torn apart.
But after all, I have experienced many battles, and I can guess what happens next even with my eyes closed.
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, we have crossed the river!"
By then, it seems that Lin Hanmo will not have many lives to resist.
Soon, the clanging sound of weapons was heard on the west bank of the river.
The trebuchet just now was indeed scary, but it was just Lin Hanmo struggling to his death.
"yes!"
"Wrong!" Tsukamoto Taro nodded slightly in opposition.
"Are you confused?" A rough voice sounded, "Down, up, right, left, aim like this for the first time. At the same time, pay attention to the wind direction, wind speed and temperature and humidity, and then fine-tune it to make sure they hit it.
Japanese pirates like dogs believe in life."
The overwhelming stones came crashing down on the bridge, causing the wooden bridge that had just been repaired to disappear in an instant.
The other soldiers nodded.
"I see."
Ahhhhh.
Countless Japanese pirate soldiers plopped down in the river like dumplings, and were swept away by the rushing river without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Ordinary arrows were blocked one by one by the shield, and the Japanese pirate soldiers hiding behind were unhurt.
As long as we attack once, we can attack twice or eight times.
Even a small number of Japanese pirate soldiers who gathered on the east bank of the river to cross the river were beaten down collectively because they found a place to hide.
Secondly, the trebuchet is less powerful and has a wider impact range.
But no matter what, a large number of soldiers still crossed the Luzuo River and threw themselves murderously into the trench dug by Lin Hanmo in advance.
We must have let our novice trebuchets practice aiming again and again, so the pressure on the back line is probably very small.
It's just that after crossing Lufuhai, we didn't bring the main force of the East China Sea Barrier on the way to Dinghai Wharf, so Ishikawa Taki didn't allow us to dismantle these weapons.
"General," no strategist came over, "is he planning to seize the trebuchet on the other side and transport it to Huayang City?"
Soon the sky became dark again.
No matter how brave we are, we walk forward timidly and look up at the sky, fearing that the world will throw stones at us again...
"Slowly! Everyone takes action to rebuild the bridge."
"What's the fuss about?" Hao Youshao said with a white face, "Should I go back and practice aiming with you?"
Otherwise, brothers who cross the river will become water with roots, and no matter how brave they are, they will be eaten up by the Yunchui people sooner or later.
Let alone Tsukamoto Taro, we have such a rock-trebuchet unit. If we look at Uuchi, there are probably only a handful of them.
After a while, the sporadic sounds stopped.
"They," Hao You said little.
I laughed loudly and clapped my hands at the first soldier who asked the question.
A group of soldiers from the 7th Arrow Battalion suddenly beamed with joy.
"News from the back line came back. Xu Qianchang and the brothers from the East China Sea Barrier just hit it with fireballs and stones. The Japanese pirates broke the bridge they built for the first time. At the same time, they also killed countless Japanese soldiers who were preparing to cross the river.
."
Luyou Academy, Qianshan.
But the general was slow to react. Gu Shixia was so sad and angry that he jumped out of the temporary barrier.
"It would be better if we let the brothers in the East China Sea Barrier fire less times to avoid the Japanese pirates."
The Grand Military Advisor laughed and couldn't help but look back in the direction of Dinghai Pier.
There are not many heavy crossbow arrows, but they can easily tear through the shield's defense and pierce the enemy's body fiercely. Even one arrow can skewer several Japanese pirate soldiers into skewers.
"Yes, yes." Hao Youshao nodded repeatedly.
After hesitating, Tsukamoto Taro added.
"In the past, it was most suitable for us to retreat and attack Huayang City."
The crisp sound of an arrow being struck sounded like rain hitting banana trees.
"Come here, send the order to go up, repair the bridge, and continue to retreat."
"Before crossing the river, seize the trebuchet position first, and be careful not to injure the lives of the trebuchet crew members as much as possible. I would have left us useless."
"The rock-repulsing unit on the opposite side is great," Tsukamoto Taro sighed. "It is definitely a fine tax in the hands of Lin Hanmo and even the entire Central Army Corps."
The stones were engulfed in flames and were thrown down like a blanket.
There are no soldiers on my bridge yet.
Ours was a trebuchet unit, one of the few that could suppress the enemy across the river on a small scale and remotely.
The night sky in front of us was dimly lit, and the red reflection made us feel panicked.
"Chief Qian, we are an archery camp, full-time bowmen and slaves. Although we have also practiced using trebuchet units in the future, compared with the brothers in the East China Sea Barrier, this is just a small ax behind Luban's sect..."
There were screams everywhere.
Tsukamoto Taro nodded and let out a deep breath, his face full of joy.
————
By the swaying light of the fire, the Japanese pirates' generals in the rear line Qi Chu took a look, and they were immediately heartbroken.
However, the stones thrown out by the trebuchet just now were few, but they were almost concentrated into one point, and accurately hit the newly repaired bridge and the soldiers under the bridge.
It was already dark, and Tsukamoto Taro in front could not see too vaguely.
"Do it!" The Japanese general was so angry and defeated, "Yun Chuiren's trebuchet."
But Xiao Shao relies on small salvoes to smash into or scare the enemy.
"With this broken bridge, he is still worried that the brothers behind him will take care of these grasshoppers that have crossed the river?"
"Have you seen Xu Qianchang's vague demonstration?" I straightened up and stared at the people who had gathered to study. "If you feel confused, go back to work quickly and practice less."
Therefore, the Western Route Army does not have external trebuchets, but the number is small and can hardly be ignored.
If we can be captured, it will be a great help in future sieges and training of new soldiers.
