"Attack!"

Following Ouyang's stern order, the main gate of Ihe City opened wide again after three days.

The menacing cavalry troops rushed out of the city gate with a force that shook the earth.

At the same time, the city was not idle either. The trebuchet, which had been silent for a long time, began to roar wildly. For a moment, huge stones were projected into the air with a force that covered the sky and the sun, and then hit the ground hard.

Before the blockade.

There is naturally no problem with the blockade line calculated by Cheng Hong. It is not a distance that can be hit by the trebuchet on the top of Iai City.

Therefore, this wave of stone-throwing offensive looked extremely fierce, but it made the enemy generals responsible for guarding this area a little confused.

This is not the first time.

Just three days ago, there was a surprise attack on the main gate of Iai Castle. It was also a cavalry charge, and before the charge, a wave of stone throwing was launched as a cover.

But it is obvious that just by looking at it with the naked eye, without making special statistics, you can find that this stone-throwing attack is more fierce, more fierce, and more numerous than the last time!

The hurling of stones seemed to be endless, as if all the stones that had been stored in Iai Castle during this period were ready to be thrown. Waves of catapults came one after another, with no intention of stopping.

So much so that on this side of the blockade, the slinging troops belonging to the Bailie Empire were at a loss and couldn't figure out whether they were going to fight back?

Now to fight back, although the momentum of those cavalry is fast, they have not reached within the attack range. If we fight now, we will fight alone.

But even if they reach the attack distance, do they still need to fight?

According to the opponent's offensive estimate, in a short time, those crazy stones fired from the top of the city will have to isolate the large area in the front, which is equivalent to...

Guardsman Bai Lie thought for a while and thought very uncertainly that Iai City was building another wall outside its own city?

This view is not unreasonable.

Although the cannonballs fired by the trebuchet are not as accurate as building brick by brick, there are too many cannonballs!

In broad daylight, the light was dimmed due to the dense stone throwing above the head. One can imagine how crazy this round of stone throwing offensive was.

The ground was trembling, and every shell that fell was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The drumbeats were so intense that the soldiers on the blockade involuntarily took a few steps back before they felt better.

Those crazy falling stones, under their gaze, have gradually become like a city wall.

There is another reason why I think so.

That is, these stones were not poured with fire oil, nor were they set alight.

Since the development of trebuchet tactics, it is a well-known consensus that filling the fired shells with kerosene and lighting them before firing can increase the power by at least 50%.

And like Iai Castle did this time, firing the stone without igniting it is simply a waste of ammunition!

Although the number of stones suitable for trebuchet firing does not require too much, it is not unlimited. No matter how much Iai City reserves, there will always be a time when they are all used up.

Especially in this situation of being trapped all the time and unable to leave the city, throwing stones and artillery shells will only hit one less one. We really can't afford such a waste.

So are they really serious about building city walls?

But what happened to those cavalry?

Since the cavalry was going to charge, why did they use stones to block the way of their own cavalry?

In this case, why should the cavalry charge forward?

On our side, we can almost stand still and wait for the cavalry to charge to the position blocked by the stones. Can they still charge?

No matter how good your equestrian skills are, you still can't control your horse to run freely on this chaotic stone-throwing road. Even if there are such masters, it is impossible that the nearly 100,000 people who rush out are all such masters.

So doesn’t this cut off the future?

The Bai Lie garrison was collectively at a loss.

They looked at the cavalry who were still charging forward menacingly, as if they were looking at a fool, oh, looking at a group of fools.

But will these cavalry be fools?

It should be said that Ouyang Lixing, who issued this order and combat policy, was a fool?

This person is a wise general who has the same evaluation as Hua Lao in the Zhu Yan Empire!

If he would do such a stupid and aimless thing, then he wouldn't be him.

At this moment, Tang Feng was mixed in with the group of cavalry, and like the people next to him, he was mindlessly charging towards the Bailie defenders outside the blockade.

Of course, the first thing they have to break through in this charge is the large number of stones dropped by their own side.

In the eyes of Bailie's defenders, these stone throws were the first obstacle to the cavalry of Iihe City, but for Tang Feng, how could they not be a cover for him?

Precisely because they were confused by Iai Castle's action, the Bailie garrison did not immediately order a counterattack with catapults, even though the charge of one hundred thousand cavalry had already entered their range.

The situation is really weird.

The guard of Juhe City is Ouyang Lixing!

Although a large number of soldiers felt that the Iai Castle cavalry were fools, the generals certainly did not dare to draw arbitrary conclusions on this point.

Of course, they would not let their catapult troops fight back before they understood the true intention behind Iai Castle's hurling of these stones.

What if someone else really has another purpose?

Isn't their counterattack just helping the other side to add bricks and mortar to make the stone wall that seems to be piling up taller and taller?

Therefore, it is not too late to take a closer look before making a final conclusion.

After all, the distance from Iai Castle to the blockade is fixed, and the cavalry are about to rush forward. They will always make some changes to let their true intentions be seen, and they will not be able to charge indefinitely.

With this idea in mind, Bai Lie's generals simply arranged their own defensive formations as soon as they gathered together, and then just waited. They wanted to see what this group of cavalry wanted to do.

Is it possible that this group of war horses can still fly over the complicated road covered with huge rocks with wings on their backs?

What's more, up to now, stones are still being fired from the top of Iai Castle!

this……

wrong?

The Bai Lie guards who had made up their minds suddenly looked at each other, and each of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Why does it feel like this stone-throwing offensive is still squeezing in front of their defense camp?

impossible!

Since the blockade is deployed here, it must have taken into account the maximum stone throwing distance that Iai Castle can throw.
Chapter completed!
