Chapter six hundred and eighty ridicule
This is not right!
When Bai Lie's generals suddenly realized this, the farthest thrown stone happened to roll down to the front of the defensive line they had set up.
Boom.
Immediately, it made contact with the shield erected on the ground by one of the sword and shield wielders, and made a dull sound.
Although the sound was not loud, it made all the Bai Lie generals responsible for defending this area tremble.
This shouldn’t be the case!
How could the blockade set up by Mr. Cheng himself allow people to throw stones here?
The distance from here to the city wall of Iai Castle is not that close!
"General...general, look!"
At the same time as the sound came, the soldier standing on the watchtower responsible for watching the front line suddenly shouted and pointed his finger straight to the front.
"What the hell, tell me!"
The highest-ranking military officer present was a governor named Li Jianghe. At this moment, facing the strange actions of Iihe City, he was also the one who was under the greatest pressure.
At this moment, when he heard the shouts of the soldiers on the watchtower, he didn't have time to climb the tower to take a closer look. He immediately glared and shouted at the top.
"Yes Yes!"
The soldier shook his head and said quickly: "They actually pushed out many catapults and are advancing towards us while continuing to fire catapults!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jianghe and the other generals looked at each other and understood immediately.
It is true that the blockade set up by Cheng Hong will not be attacked by the artillery shells at the top of Juhe City. But on the other side of Juhe City, they use a large number of stone throws to block the sight, thus successfully pushing a large number of catapults out from the gate of Juhe City.
.
That's why they discovered that stones had fallen on the front of the defensive line.
Having said this, their hearts suddenly became enlightened and they immediately understood Ouyang Lixing's strategy.
Those menacing cavalry are just pretending, their biggest function is to attract their attention!
Then, a large number of stones were thrown from the top of Iai Castle, which once again attracted their attention.
From then on, the generals headed by Li Jianghe had to pay attention to the movements of the cavalry troops. On the other hand, they were also paying attention to these random stones to guess Ouyang Lixing's real intention.
As a result, their attention to the Iai Castle Gate area has indeed weakened a lot.
Moreover, when more and more stones were thrown, even when they thought they would build a stone wall, when they looked straight ahead, almost everything they could see was filled by the stone throws, let alone what they could see.
It's time to reach the city gate.
Ouyang Lixing made this big move just to make them ignore the Iai City Gate, which should be the focus of attention. After the cavalry troops, the catapult troops also rushed out of the city gate!
Only in this way can the stones be struck closer and closer.
But what's the use?
Li Jianghe frowned, still not quite understanding Ouyang Lixing's intention of doing this.
Is it possible that Ouyang Lixing panicked for a moment after discovering the siege troops stationed by Master Cheng personally outside the South City Gate, or that he thought this was an opportunity?
Can he avoid the most important thing and take advantage of the moment when his own troops are gathering at the south city gate to quickly attack the blockade of the main city gate to achieve the purpose of breaking out?
Isn't this too naive?
No matter how the south gate is attacked, the main gate of Iai Castle is always the top priority to be defended. With the size of the wide passage of the main gate, there will be a lot of soldiers pouring out at the same time, so this side
The defensive task has always been the most important.
Ouyang Lixing used the method of diverting his attention twice to successfully launch a large number of catapults from the city gate. It seemed that he wanted to use the powerful firepower of the catapults to blast a bloody path.
But is this possible?
Although his method of diverting attention was very clever, he couldn't resist the fact that he had a towering watchtower for observation!
Even if his attention was attracted for a while, the watchtower was very tall after all. As long as he took a quick look at the Iihe city gate, he would definitely be able to discover Ouyang Lixing's intention.
This can't be hidden!
"Order the slinging troops to fight!"
When Li Jianghe thought about this, he knew that no matter whether this was another conspiracy of Ouyang Lixing, he could not let the opponent's catapult troops continue to advance, otherwise his defensive line would face powerful artillery attacks.
This can't be stopped by just one or two shields.
You can only fight!
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the catapult troops who had been preparing for a long time in the rear area and only had one order left them couldn't wait to open fire!
For a moment, the light at the scene dimmed again.
Cheng Hong regards this blockade as his life, how could he not prepare sufficient war preparation resources?
Furthermore, Iai Castle has been besieged for so long, and the resources that should be prepared have been prepared long ago. Do you want to compete in a stone-throwing offensive?
Then don’t be afraid at all!
The earth shook!
Throwing stones to throw stones, but after all, the distance between the two sides is still far. It is obviously impossible for this round of throwing stones to attack the catapult on the side of Iai Castle.
It seems that the cavalry unit caught between the two will be in bad luck!
But this is not the case.
Li Jianghe suddenly reacted after ordering the catapult to fire...
Catapults have an attack range!
This distance does not mean the farthest distance, but the shortest attack distance.
The closest fight!
Catapults have a shortest attack range and cannot hit wherever they want.
Of course, you can change the intensity by adjusting the ejection rubber band, and then adjust the angle of elevation to change the attack position, so that the catapult can also attack enemies within a very close range.
But this is extremely close, but not infinitely close.
If the angle is not controlled well, the strength of the rubber band is not adjusted properly, and there is a mistake in one of the two, it is very likely that the ejected cannonball will land on the head of your own person.
This is something no one wants to see.
Therefore, in order to ensure safety, this distance must not be too short.
However, it was guaranteed on one side but not on the other. The stone did not fall on the heads of the defensive troops on the front line, but it did not fall on the heads of the cavalry. Instead, it hit directly behind the cavalry troops.
Only then did Li Jianghe understand that this was the purpose of Bi Cai's cavalry charging wildly.
They don't want to rush to the blockade in one fell swoop, but they just want to rush as far as possible to avoid the closest attack distance of the Bailie Empire's catapult troops!
Seeing the cavalry troops safely staying in a position where the catapults could not bombard them, Li Jianghe felt itchy with hatred.
The two sides were so close that he could even see the sarcastic faces of the other side's cavalry at the front.
Isn't this just a slap in the face?
