50. Chapter 50 A real war 2
Chapter 50
"Crawly man!" Su Yin raised his hand and shouted, Li Wu immediately sent a message down, and a team of people quickly moved the straw man to the top of the city in the distance. Among them were straw men, and some human-shaped objects stuffed with wooden clothes.
Because of the darkness of the night, only human figures can be seen from a distance from the city.
Others were scattered at the top of each city. From the Liao army's perspective, the pile of straw men was the main force of the rebels in the city.
Sure enough, the trebuchet aimed at the wall filled with straw men, and the general gave an order, and huge stones were thrown into the sky and hit the city wall! The huge stones shook the wall, and the straw men were hit and crushed.
There was chaos on the city walls.
The loud noise shook the sky and the wall shook slightly, which made everyone feel unprecedented fear.
This is a real war!
"The power of the trebuchet is much inferior to that of the trebuchet." Su Yin sighed to himself while others were nervously waiting for the next order.
There are two types of trebuchets, one is the trebuchet, and the other is the trebuchet. The trebuchet is also called a giant trebuchet.
Theoretically speaking, a trebuchet is a projectile thrown by this weapon. It will fall rapidly and is ideally used to smash the top of the arrow tower, defensive equipment and platforms.
Unless the projectile can hit the top of the city wall, it will be difficult to destroy the vertical city wall with a giant trebuchet alone. So what these stones destroy is not the entire city wall, but the ground above the city wall.
As for the trebuchet, it throws large bags of boulders together and hits the vertical wall with the force of the throwing force, which can easily cause huge damage to the city wall itself, or even dent it.
Fortunately, what the opponent is preparing now are trebuchets, not trebuchets. Is it because they don’t have them? Or is it because they don’t have them in today’s era?
Even though the trebuchet was not as powerful as the trebuchet, the concentrated firepower should not be underestimated. Before long, the top of the city wall had been smashed into cracks, and the scarecrow's corpses were scattered all over the field.
Suddenly, a round of arrows swept towards them. Su Ling raised her hand again to give the order. Teams of men and horses placed the reserve straw men and trees in front of them and above their heads. At the same time, several rough and huge wooden frames were carried up the city wall.
.
This thing was built by Su Yin on the spot and cut down the big trees in the city. It was used to hang the giant trees and hit the ladders to attack the wall.
Under the cover of the Liao archers, the infantry carried ladders and rushed to the city.
On the city wall, so far, we are only defending but not attacking. Occasionally, someone will transport a scarecrow filled with arrows to the rear. This is Su Yin's reference to the allusion of straw boats borrowing arrows, because there is a shortage of arrows in the city, and it is difficult to make arrows.
It requires extremely professional skills, otherwise the arrow body balance and range length cannot be controlled, and it will be useless.
Below the city, there was a thundering roar that seemed to have been drummed up by Liao soldiers for themselves. In the ears, there was a huge sound of big rocks smashing down the wall. Su Yin stood motionless on top of the wall, as if he was not moved by the battle in front of him.
Scary and calm.
Under the firelight, Su Yin's palm-sized face flickered in and out, making it difficult to see his expression.
Zhang Laishun stood diagonally behind Su Yin, using his shield to protect his head diagonally in front, because the arrows were shot towards the sky, and then pierced down like a parabola. After all, the distance between the upper and lower walls of the city was long ago, and the straight line was already out of range.
.
"The left city wall has collapsed!" A roar suddenly sounded from the city wall. Su Yin turned around and saw that it was the unmanned wall that had been hit by the concentrated firepower of the trebuchet.
"Impactor ready!"
"Archers prepare!"
Chapter completed!
