Chapter 491

Soon, Xianbei people's bowmen enter the attack area. Under the cover of giant shield, Xianbei bowmen can finally threaten the city. For a time, the arrows were flying in front of tangtougou pass, and people on both sides of the enemy and us were constantly hit by the arrows. Screams and shouts came one after another on the battlefield. An hour later, the Xianbei people finally filled up the trench before the pass, and the price they paid was 1000 casualties. Compared with the previous two days, the casualties were almost negligible, while tangtougouguan paid nearly 300 casualties, which made the Xianbei people more happy.

Although most of the casualties were low-level soldiers, the number of casualties still made Huang Xu and Huang Xu dignified. You know, there were only less than 6000 or 7000 middle-level soldiers in Longhua, and the next battle would be more cruel. Even according to this ratio, Longhua would not last for a few days, and the reinforcements of junmi city would only come to thousands of cavalry at most, which is such a situation Come on, Longhua is in danger.

See Xianbei people temporarily retreat, Huang Xu immediately discuss with Tian Yu, two people a total, feel that the well fence must be installed, to join the city. So, before the next attack of Xianbei people started, Tian Yu immediately arranged for craftsmen to move all the ten well fences to the wall and install them. Huang Xu also selected the archers with higher level. Each well fence was assigned 50 archers, and then equipped with 50 sword and shield soldiers to protect their well. Then it was asked to lift the 20 medium-sized catapults that had already been made to the head of the city.

It took half an hour for tangtougou to close the equipment. Huang Xu arranged the personnel for each equipment. After that, Tian Yu immediately went back to Longhua town. The battle at the head of the city made him feel a sense of urgency. He immediately led the craftsmen back to the town to speed up the production of several kinds of equipment. In addition, it seems that it is necessary to build the platform and place the catapult as soon as possible. What makes Huang Xu feel strange is that Xianbei did not immediately arrange the attack when the city was busy with the layout, which makes Huang Xu feel that the next battle will not be easy.

When Huang Xu was at the head of the city, the reason why Xianbei people didn't attack immediately was that Fu mengcha and others discovered the advantages of log giant shield. The moat had been completely filled up in one round of attack, so the next attack could be adjusted.

After discussion, fmoncha decided to adjust the army into several units. The wounded soldiers were stationed in the camp, and the other soldiers were divided into two parts. One part cut down trees together with the auxiliary soldiers to continue to make shields and ladders. The other part was divided into several groups, with 8000 to 10000 people in each group, forming an offensive team, carrying a considerable number of giant shields to guard 1000 people, carrying the ladders to take part in the attack, and the other thousands of people took part in the attack The giant shield guards close to the wall, threatening the garrison above the wall and reducing the pressure of the siege soldiers.

Xianbei people have seen the movement at the head of the city, but they only looked at the layout of the well appendix and did not see the crossbow machine, so they didn't care. Since the giant shield can block the bow and arrow, what's the use of climbing higher?

I don't know whether Huangfu Chaobo's luck is too good or Xianbei's luck is too bad. Originally, the city's head hasn't been set up with a siege crossbow. As a result, Xianbei's 20 big killers have already been installed, waiting for Xianbei's head to be broken.

The bugle of attack sounded again, and nearly ten thousand Xianbei troops swarmed in from a distance. In their view, the trench in front of the pass had been filled, and nothing could stop the brave Xianbei warriors. Maybe, the pass could be attacked in one fell swoop in this attack, but they didn't know what the city behind the pass was like, but it must be better than the city The tribes on the grassland are much richer.

The attack range of the small bed crossbow was 150-200 steps, but Huang Xu did not let the soldiers launch the crossbow at 200 steps, but waited for the Xianbei people to order the attack at 140 steps. Because the weight of the equipment made of logs was too heavy, even the Xianbei soldiers could not walk fast. After 140 steps, the head of the city gave an order, and all he heard was "BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM

After a sound, twenty crossbow guns flew down the city. The crossbow guns, which were about Zhang long, plowed their way through the dense crowd of Xianbei people. Twelve of the twenty crossbows failed to hit the target, and the other eight all hit the Xianbei people's huge shield, which was smashed in an instant. The huge momentum almost exploded the logs from the middle, and the fragments of the wood scattered everywhere, sweeping away all the Xianbei soldiers around.

After breaking through the first shield, a crossbow gun didn't stop immediately. It broke three or even four shields before it stopped. After passing through the body of a Xianbei soldier, it nailed him to the ground. However, the soldier didn't die for a long time. He groaned bitterly and stretched out his hand to pull out the long gun inserted into his body. It's a pity It was only when the hand reached the barrel of the gun that it hung down powerlessly. The eight crossbow guns ploughed out eight blood routes before the pass. Although the loss to Xianbei people was not great, the impact on the soldiers was unpredicted.

Seeing that the effect of the first round of crossbow was not ideal, Huang Xu immediately ordered to prepare for the second round of shooting. Because of the delay of the soldiers, and the heavy shields and long ladders made of logs, the attack speed of Xianbei soldiers was even slower. When the second round of attack came, the Xianbei team reached the position of 100 steps.

With the reference of the first round, the accuracy of the second round was much higher. Twenty guns, five out of fifteen, once again ferociously ploughed out fifteen blood routes among the Xianbei people. This time, the Xianbei people were obviously frightened, and the front ones stopped there, and they didn't know whether they should continue to advance. At this time, the Chinese Army sounded the clarion call to continue to attack, and the Xianbei people who were attacking had no choice but to go on.As a matter of fact, as early as the first round of crossbow attack, fmoncha had noticed the abnormality of Xianbei soldiers, but he did not expect that the second round of attack on the wall was so fast and prepared, which led to the delay of the attack. In fact, both he and Yu Wen Cheng knew that such a crossbow machine was not terrible. On the one hand, the accuracy of the attack was too low. On the other hand, they could only attack from a distance, but not in close combat. Once they approached within 80 steps, the crossbow machine basically lost its function. However, ordinary soldiers didn't know what to do. Therefore, without patience, Fu mengcha had to give a dead order from the Chinese army to carry out a strong attack.

Fortunately, Suli was very powerful in the eyes of Xianbei people in the East, so the soldiers still insisted on carrying out the orders of the central army. If they had less control, they could riot on the spot.
