Chapter 468 Wonderful Delivery
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
After recovering from the shock, Zheng Yuanyun seemed to have not seen the vanguard rushing in at a very fast speed. He pointed sharply at the siege stone towers lined up in a row.
No, of course it's not that he didn't see it, but at this moment Zheng Yuanyun certainly knew which side was the greater threat to his Ihe City.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of vanguards, they are all charging soldiers. They do not carry siege equipment in their hands. Even if they are allowed to charge a short distance, they still have archers waiting on their side, as well as rolling stones and wood and other close-range weapons.
Defensive equipment.
And if the siege stone tower continues to advance forward, the next time the opponent's artillery fire comes, it will not be as simple as just hitting the city wall, but will have to fall directly on top of their city.
!
The sky above Iai City never stops for a moment, and as you come and go, it is filled with huge rocks whizzing back and forth.
However, Zheng Yuanyun was also prepared this time, and did not aim all the trebuchets at the siege tower at once. After all, this kind of fixed-point projection was just a fixed-point projection, and the siege tower would not be able to dodge as flexibly as one person. He
What they wanted was to use continuous attacks to not only destroy the opponent's siege towers, but also reserve part of the trebuchets to deal with the vanguard that was about to rush to the city.
However, what Zheng Yuanyun didn't expect was that just when he ordered the loaded trebuchet troops to fire, there was another roar from the enemy's siege catapult tower!
"Why so fast?"
Zheng Yuanyun was astonished, but at the same time he was very happy that he gave the order a minute faster after all. When the opponent's trebuchet fired again, his trebuchet also roared.
No big deal, it’s just a one-for-one exchange!
He gritted his teeth and thought, and when he hid in the female wall, he glanced down at the city, and then his heart suddenly sank.
The opponent's catapults were fired very quickly. This was actually because they had already prepared for it. They were originally planning to fire two consecutive shots. The reason why this goal was achieved was, on the one hand, the preparation of the trebuchet soldiers on the top of the tower, and on the other hand,
It was also during the round of bombing just now that our own trebuchet troops were forced to temporarily take evasive actions and wasted a little time.
But more importantly, the opponent's two consecutive shots and this second round of bombing were not aimed at lethality, but for... avoidance!
During the last salvo, countless soldiers under the siege tower gritted their teeth and did not let the siege tower retreat even half a step to ensure the accuracy of the stone throwing.
But this time, Zheng Yuanyun saw that among the soldiers under the opponent's siege tower, the ones pulling the ropes in front did not change, but the group of people pushing behind all jumped back and left the siege tower instead.
The scope of the city tower.
This resulted in that after this round of volleys, the counter-shock force fed back by the trebuchet on the top of the tower was only controlled by the soldiers pulling the rope in front. It did not make the tower siege collapse, but it did not
Stop the retreat of the siege tower.
This led to the fact that after the roaring flaming stones fired from the Iai Castle reached the farthest attack distance, they only hit empty space because the siege towers all retreated.
Not even the edge of a siege tower was touched!
At the same time, the stones thrown from the siege tower did not fall on the wall of Iai Castle due to the counter-shock force, but only hit the open space below the city.
"damn it!"
Zheng Yuanyun gritted his teeth and jumped up from behind the female wall.
This round of bombing was not aimed at the city wall, but was just a little trick played by Ouyang Lixing to protect the siege stone tower.
Can it still be like this?
Zheng Yuanyun's eyes were opened. He was thinking about what to do when the deputy general next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Master Zheng, look!"
Looking in the direction of the deputy general's finger, he was pointing to the stones that had fallen into the open space below the city.
This... where is the stone throwing?
Zheng Yuanyun glanced at it and his eyes widened immediately.
He saw that the hundreds of "objects" falling on the open space below the city were not stones, but huge packages?
The package is correct.
He stared and looked again, not all of those things were intact. They were inevitably damaged during the projection and landing process. So he was very sure that the hundreds of ejected objects were made of huge leather-wrapped objects.
something wrapped.
As for what those things are.
From some damaged packages, Zheng Yuanyun saw many things that looked like ladders, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
This is using trebuchets to transport siege equipment that the vanguard did not carry!
Ouyang strictly ordered the vanguard troops to charge. On the one hand, in order to ensure the speed of the charge, and on the other hand, he could dodge flexibly when attacking at the head of Iai City. He did not let the soldiers carry any siege equipment.
This also paralyzed Zheng Yuanyun, causing him to misjudge the destructive power that the vanguard force could cause, and chose to attack the siege sling tower first, which was more destructive.
Taking advantage of the gap between the two sides in the exchange of bombardments, a group of people from the extremely fast vanguard had already rushed to the city gates.
As expected, this was planned early in the morning. The soldiers rushed over and did not charge directly to the city gate. Instead, they rushed towards the packages scattered in the open space and assembled them very quickly.
Ladder!
Most of these packages are disassembled ladders, and each small section has its own structure. It seems that these soldiers have practiced many times, and they are very familiar with assembling these ladders.
In a short time, hundreds of towering ladders have taken shape.
"What are you still doing? Shoot an arrow!"
Zheng Yuanyun roared with sharp eyes. Apparently he was not the only one who was stunned by the other party's whims. Most of the defenders on the city were attracted by the deputy general's roar and looked towards
Packages under the city.
It was like waking up from a dream, and arrows rained down quickly.
At such a close distance, the attack power of the trebuchet is weakened to the extreme, and it is embarrassing that the rolling stones, wood, kerosene and other defensive equipment that require the enemy to be close to the city wall to exert their maximum power are not close enough.
Fortunately, the archer's attack power can be used perfectly.
Zheng Yuanyun's mind was racing. The siege sling tower that was the most threatening in his mind suddenly became less important. Instead, the vanguard unit that was about to finish building the ladder became the most threatening unit.
If the opponent is allowed to set up hundreds of ladders on the Iai city wall, even if only the soldiers on one of them climb to the top of the city, once this gap is opened, a steady stream of subsequent gaps will be opened one after another.
Zheng Yuanyun will not allow this kind of thing to happen, at least, at this stage, it is not yet time to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!
