At the moment when the first city-defending crossbow arrow shot through the air with a shrill sound, and accurately pinned the Damang warlord to the ground, the faces of many Damang soldiers turned as white as snow.
Then, when there were screams and screams, and huge crossbow arrows crashed into the gap in the city wall with violent force, most of the Damang soldiers suddenly woke up. The Yunqin defenders on the city wall did not
Any idea of directly abandoning the city wall was delayed, just to make their formation as dense as possible.
No matter how loose the formation is on the outside, when they get close to the city wall, without large ladders, the breakthrough point for the Da Mang army can only be the collapse of those city walls. When they rush to these gaps, the Da Mang soldiers will naturally become
It is very dense, and every crossbow arrow and every rotating flying blade can often plow out a rolling wave of blood like a plow.
It's just that some experienced Da Mang generals don't understand... How can the Yun Qin army stop Yun Qin when Da Mang soldiers have begun to climb the gaps in the city walls, and there are no Yun Qin heavy armors and heavy cavalry in sight?
Da Mang's army rushed up the city wall in a short period of time and poured into the city wall?
The total damage of a city-defending crossbow lies not only in the damage caused by each crossbow arrow, but most importantly, in how many crossbow arrows can be fired in total.
There's not enough time... you can only shoot three or four crossbow arrows, so what's the point?
With this thought in mind, an ordinary Damang school officer quickly climbed up the collapsed gravel.
This section of the city wall collapsed very badly. Some Da Mang sergeants who were pierced by huge crossbow arrows fell forever in front of this section of collapsed city wall. But for those of them who were not hit by the crossbow arrows, it only took less than three stops.
Within a short time, he had already climbed to the highest point of the collapsed city wall.
The Damang school officer, who was thankful that he was still alive, was still puzzled when he saw a huge black shadow standing not far in front of him.
It was a giant object made of huge wood and steel. Only the craftsmen of Yunqin and the national power of Yunqin could build huge fixed catapults in large quantities in this world.
In the chaotic rain, under the shadow of this awe-inspiring behemoth, the Damang Colonel saw seven or eight Yunqin black-armored soldiers.
"shoot!"
Without any hesitation, the Damang Colonel issued a military order sharply.
The archers in his densely packed Damang infantry, under the threat of death from the huge crossbows above the city wall, had exceeded their usual limits. Even though they were panting violently, they all moved faster than usual.
With great speed, he took off the bow and arrows he was carrying and released a hail of arrows.
The Damang colonel saw that all seven or eight Yunqin black-armored soldiers were hit by arrows.
Several of them were hit by more than twenty arrows.
However, he saw that these Yunqin black-armored soldiers seemed to have a sarcastic and disdainful smile on their faces even when they fell.
This smile made his whole body feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
He thought that this kind of giant fixed catapult could not be used by only seven or eight Yunqin soldiers... Moreover, just the turning radius of the throwing arm could determine whether the last heavy stone could be thrown.
It is absolutely impossible to fall near the gap, at least a hundred steps outside the city wall.
There was a loud bang.
The giant Yunqin catapult in front of him fell over.
The moment those Yunqin black-armored soldiers died from arrows and fell down, the giant catapult fell down, like a broken giant, and rushed down towards the gap where he was.
The eyes of this Da Mang colonel were finally filled with a look of despair and fear, filled with the shadows of countless giant trees and steel components.
This gap in the city wall turned into a hell on earth.
Heavy giant trees and iron plates fell on the heads of the Damang infantry, making a dull impact like beating clothes, and then broke apart with blood and flesh, colliding and bouncing among the gravel.
Stone chips, dust, and thick smoke rose up in the rain and fog.
And not just this gap, almost all the giant catapults behind the gap in the city wall collapsed one after another.
The dull crash, the rain, fog, and the miserable screams and howls of the Da Mang soldiers in the thick dust made all the Da Mang soldiers outside the gap full of shock and fear.
Although this kind of lethality is still limited, this method is enough to shock and deter.
Because the huge trees on the giant catapult are even heavier than the palace beams, if the people filling them up at this moment are not ordinary infantry, but heavy armors and ordinary practitioners, they will also die under such a collapse.
…
"This kind of street fighting method that abandons the boundaries of the city wall and faces the enemy throughout the city. The most important thing is not whether you have the courage to do so, but whether you can build traps in the city that can kill more people than sticking to the city wall, and whether you have the ability to do it in a very short time.
Within a certain period of time, the deployment and mobilization of the broken down army will be completed."
Among the rear of Da Mang's entire army that was advancing at this moment, there was a comfortable carriage pulled by six horses.
The carriage door curtain is made of green bamboo and is not rolled up.
There were seven handsome practitioners wearing swords and wearing magnificent palace costumes. They always had a truly humble attitude on their faces facing the teacher, listening to the teachings of the people in this carriage.
"In the Yunqin Empire, the person who knows how to defend the city best and is the most capable of setting up the entire city into a killing array is Tang Chuqing. One of the chief instructors of the Yunqin Army is responsible for the defense of the entire Zhongzhou Army."
"As for using a giant catapult as a weapon to smash it down, it's not that simple."
The people in the carriage spoke quietly: "Even if you want to bring down these giant catapults, can you guarantee that these giant catapults can follow your wishes and fall to where you want them to fall? Can you make it disintegrate?
Is it so thorough that it turns into countless bumps and flying irons?"
"The only person who can understand Yunqin's giant catapults so well and can make these Yunqin catapults fall towards the place he wants to fall is Chu Yehan, the master craftsman of the Yunqin military."
"So it's not yet certain whether Tang Chuqing is in Dongjing Mausoleum, but Chu Yehan is definitely in Dongjing City."
"Master." Among the seven Damang practitioners who were wearing swords, one of them, a handsome man in his thirties with a navy blue scabbard covered with bat-like patterns, said respectfully: "Even so, these giant stone throws
The collapse of the car won't delay it for long, I don't know what the purpose is."
"I often teach you that when you look at things, you should look at the big picture and change your perspective. Don't look at things from the eyes of ordinary people. Because the enemies you face are not ordinary people. What is in their minds
, and it is definitely not an ordinary idea that ordinary people think." The calm and gentle voice in the carriage sounded again, "I never think about the issue of time. If the plan fails, there will naturally be more means to delay some time.
The most critical thing is the focus... Tang Chuqing is a Saint Master. Although Chu Yehan is only the pinnacle Grand Master and is still one step away from the Saint Master, he has the nickname of Golden Iron Man and has many strange soul weapons in his body, which has great combat power.
No less than a Saint Master. According to the previous accurate information, if Tang Chuqing is really there, there will be at least four Yunqin Saint Master level masters in the city. In this way, when the actual confrontation comes, there will be Saints in Dongjing City.
The number of division battles will exceed that of Zhongzhou City half a month ago."
"Relatively speaking, there are many armies but few practitioners. The victory or defeat is determined by the army. But if the power of the practitioners is particularly strong, sometimes the key to victory or defeat lies with these powerful practitioners on both sides.
, whether it can appear in the most suitable position...and also, some of the methods used by both sides to win by surprise."
"Even if I want to escape from Dong Jingling alive, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Hearing these words coming from the carriage, the seven swordsmen cultivators who were listening and understood what they were saying all felt a chill in their hearts, feeling that the autumn mood was already strong.
…
"about there."
It was still on a section of the city wall where the trained city guard's ballista accurately shot the Da Mang warlord with a single strike. The stern black-armored Yunqin general faced the old sergeant named Lao Cheng next to him.
He said calmly and unhurriedly.
At this time, many Damang soldiers had recovered from the initial carnage and extreme fear caused by the collapse of the giant catapult, and many of them had already climbed up the break in the city wall not far from them.
The gray-haired old sergeant nodded and quickly adjusted the crossbow. The other ten Yunqin sergeants just waited calmly.
"Okay."
The gray-haired old sergeant quickly made a sound.
At this moment, a burst of arrows pierced the air.
A young black-armored sergeant stood directly in front of him, with six or seven arrows suddenly attached to his body.
"Death!" The old sergeant supported the body of the young sergeant Yunqin who was standing in front of him, and shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Click!"
A black-armored sergeant who was hit by an arrow in his arm showed no sluggishness in his movements. The heavy hammer in his hand knocked off the buckle pin again. Amidst the loud shouts of the old sergeant, the crossbow arrow of the city guard's crossbow once again aimed at the gap in the city wall.
It flew past.
This time, the arrowheads of the city-defending crossbows were trailed by more than a dozen ropes.
Behind a dozen ropes were packages wrapped in ordnance's wax-impregnated waterproof tarpaulin.
The bottoms of these packages have been pierced, and they are just randomly sealed with pieces of oil paper, just like the patched clothes of some beggars in Yunqin City.
These packages were not light. There was a loud bang, and all the ropes made a muffled vibration in an instant. Even the city-defending crossbow arrows that contained terrifying power were suddenly stagnant in the air.
Under this shock, some of the oil paper at the bottom of these packages was cracked and torn.
Some extremely fine, slightly reddish white powder fell from these cracked openings.
Although the package was heavy, it had obviously been tested. It was still lifted into the air by the terrifying power of the city guard crossbow. As it moved rapidly forward in the air, the white powder gushed out from all the cracks, like countless
People are pouring flour in the air.
On the city wall of Dong Jingling, at the same time, many crossbow arrows were fired from the crossbow machines, all pulling up such packages.
“Zheng…Zheng…Zheng…”
When many crossbow arrows were exhausted and fell, the city wall of Dong Jingling looked like it was snowing one after another.
These white and reddish fine powders were as cold as rocks when they were sprinkled. However, in the rain, they quickly became hot. When they were sprinkled on Sergeant Da Mang's skin, eyes, and even along his breath,
After entering the mouth and nose, it becomes even more burning and stinging, like tiny flames burning.
"ah!"
Countless Da Mang soldiers screamed in horror. Their eyes seemed to be blind. Their whole mouths, noses, and lungs were stinging, burning to the point where they couldn't breathe at all. Many people fled desperately, and even jumped from the city wall.
Next, many people fell down, rolling and twitching on the ground, but in even more pain.
"What's this!"
A Da Mang general looked at the "snow" filling the gap in the city wall in front with a pale face, and asked in shock a middle-aged Da Mang practitioner who looked like a scribe next to him.
"It's not poison, it's lime powder... and a lot of chili powder." The middle-aged scribe-like Da Mang practitioner's nose trembled slightly, catching a breath coming from the wind and rain, and said solemnly.
Dongjing City is rich in chili peppers and is known as "Spicy Dongjing". It is not surprising that the Yunqin military could prepare a large amount of chili powder mixed with dry lime powder... whether it is very spicy chili powder or limestone that will heat up quickly when exposed to water.
Powder is not fatal for a while. However, precisely because these two things are not fatal, but are extremely painful when put in the eyes or inhaled, they can create more terror and chaos.
In the extreme chaos of the Damang infantry, all the sergeants Yunqin beside the crossbows on the city wall still continued to mount the winches of the crossbows, and directed the crossbow arrows toward the Damang formation at their fastest speed.
stimulated out.
