The 292nd day of a battle will set the world (8)

The Heshuo Army finally arrived at the moat. Although it encountered two consecutive waves of attacks from the water-based magic array, a combined stone cannon cart was trapped in the mud and could not extricate itself, most of the stone cannon cars still began to line up under the protection of soldiers and magicians to prepare for attack.

There were as many as twenty-eight combined stone cannon vehicles arranged in the north. Except for one that was trapped in the mud, the remaining twenty-seven vehicles protruded forward in a trapezoidal formation, divided into three rows, and set up the formation.

The solemn atmosphere made the Caizhou defenders on the city wall shudder. This asymmetric offensive situation was really unfavorable to the defensive side.

The Xuzhou Army's stone cannon vehicles, even the last row of stone cannon vehicles, can easily bombard the stone cannons on the city wall, while the stone catapult cart on the guard side can only barely launch the stone cannon soldiers in front of the front. The real threat to the stone cannon vehicles can only be the heavy magic crossbow.

However, this heavy magic crossbow truck is not effective in attacking stone cannon vehicles. Except for the rocket hitting stone cannon vehicles, it is difficult for others to play a role.

The enemy also obviously made various targeted defense preparations. Looking at the masters and soldiers around him, they could put out fires and rescue them at any time, which is enough to prove that the Xuzhou army has made up their minds to completely destroy the Caizhou army's determination to resist in this way.

Although Shang Yunxi was a little annoyed by the chaos caused by the raid of the Ninth Army in the west, Zhu Mi led the 10th Army to quickly stabilize the position and launched a counterattack, firmly resisting the attack launched by the opponent from several angles, and also took advantage of the situation to launch a clamp-shaped offensive against the siege, intending to completely annihilate the elite enemy troops.

Although the Caizhou Army's Dragon Bird Tail is also elite, the huge gap in number still makes the other party gradually fall into trouble. It is only a matter of time before it is eliminated, provided that if no other accidents occur.

Shang Yunxi didn't think that any accident would happen. If the Caizhou army in the city really dared to fight out of the city to save the dragon bird tail, it would be a big wish. Then Shang Yunxi would dare to go out and push the entire Heshuo army up, and he would have to fight outside the city.

But it is impossible to think about it. The Caizhou army dare not have such courage. Once they are surrounded outside the city, they will almost lose any possibility of resuming an unfavorable situation.

"Governor, everything is in place." The personal soldiers reported.

"You can launch an attack. The surrounding second and third troops are ready to cover to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall. In addition, the firefighting team also has everything to deal with. I think the Caizhou army will not just sit still and watch and be beaten. Even if they are reluctant, their magic crossbows should be on the stage." Shang Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Zhou, Yang, and He generals to be prepared. If there is something wrong, they will ask them to fight."

Accompanied by the sound of drums of "dong!dong!dong!dong!", the stone cannon trucks that had been arranged in the array finally began to show their power.

Accompanied by the invasive "crunch" arm pressing, the spring compression sound driven by the force and pressure of the arm, dozens of arms reached the extreme instantly under the traction of the huge spring kinetic energy, and then released.

Dozens of stone bombs were projected out almost at the same time. The huge stone bombs were flying at high speed in the air, making a sharp whistle sound, which sounded particularly shocking.

"Receive the shield!"

"Bandao! Bandao is ready!"

"Cover! Scheme is activated, spell is activated!"

"Shidden!"

A series of shouts were rising and falling on the city walls, and at the same time, the officers had already been running around, shouting that the soldiers raised their leather shields or set up barriers to block the stone bullets that were flying under the city walls to the greatest extent, preventing a fatal blow to the entire city wall.

Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wenji and others were lying behind the stool, almost crushing the bricks and stones under their hands into powder, and Ruju's eyes were staring at the front.

It has to be admitted that the Xuzhou army's advantage in long-range strike weapons is too powerful, so powerful that Caizhou cannot have the idea of ​​catching up.

This long-range strike weapon is not a simple magic weapon, but a comprehensive construction ability that combines magic, smelting, materials, design, and processing and production. It cannot be achieved by being powerful in one aspect.

In Yuan Wuwei's view, if Yuan Wenji's Yanyang Red Flame Bow is a treasure that gathers the peak of Caizhou's magic, it is enough to prove that Caizhou's magic is not weak, but just the limitation of materials makes Caizhou unable to make another weapon with the same power.

The Yanyang Red Flame Bow is picked from the bow string to the bow tire and then to the twisted silk thread. It can be said that this treasure bow cannot be copied, but the same powerful giant stone cannon truck can produce dozens of them at one time in Xuzhou.

Not to mention anything else, the special spring alone left the magicians in Caizhou helpless.

They don't know what the material of this machine spring is, or just call it fine iron, but the material of this fine iron is far beyond any material they have ever seen.

I don’t know what to use to refine it, how it is refined, and what joints there are.

How to infuse and add blessings to the magic etching technique is quite complicated. In the words of Caizhou magic wizards, there are many mysteries here. It is not just a casual person, nor can it be figured out in three to five months. In short, in a word, Caizhou will never be able to make such a device in the short term.

A shrill whistle and a stone bullet the size of a watermelon roared and hit a fiercely on a leather shield. Three soldiers holding the leather shield could not bear the impact of this super powerful force and retreated in blood. Two staggered to the ground, while the other was still trying hard to maintain it. Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward to help lift the leather shield again.

Another series of stone bullets came, but the strike angle of these stone bullets was obviously different from the previous ones. They adopted a high-hanging angle, and then used a special calculation method to calculate it before the strike was carried out.

This round of attack obviously caught Caizhou army off guard. The ordinary leather shields and barriers were useless at all. These stone bullets almost fell directly from the air and hit the city wall.

The city gate tower alone suffered more than thirty stone bombs in a very short time. Half of the building collapsed, overwhelming more than ten powerful crossbowmen lying behind them on the spot. They screamed in tears. When the rescue team caught up, they hurriedly carried the corridor columns and the walls and tiles. They could only see a bloody corpse. It was estimated that most of them would not survive.

The sound of "Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!" finally rang out, and it was the magic crossbow that began to fight back.

A crossbow was pushed up by several leather shields and barriers. The thick red phosphorus rocket was almost the same as the arm. It was processed into a dispersed flower head at the rear end of the rocket. This flower head was combined with the rocket itself through a clever tenon structure. Once launched, it can fall down in all directions with the help of wind at the last moment, forming a dense fire net.

This is also the peak embodiment of Caizhou's magic and magic. The production price of this rocket alone is 5,000 yuan copper coins. This has not added the cost of magic crossbow trucks. Caizhou is already unable to bear this item alone, so there are only less than 200 magic crossbow trucks, and only 5,000 magic crossbow arrows.

Lu Han resisted the excitement in his heart and leaned back to observe the situation.

The rockets began to scatter and shoot in various ways the moment they fell. The ignition light fell, and many of them were directly stuck on the stone cannon cart and immediately began to burn.

This red phosphorus rocket not only produces poisonous gas, but also has strong combustion ability. Once ordinary wood is attached to it, it will basically be burned into ashes. Even if the stone cannon structure processed by certain magic is attached to it, it will be difficult to extinguish it.

However, for the magicians in Xuzhou, it is naturally impossible to be unprepared. Once expensive objects like stone cannon trucks are pushed onto the battlefield, they must be fully prepared for emergency purposes, and there will naturally be no fewer objects to extinguish the fire.

This was the first time Lu Han actually participated in a battle. Facing the attacks of enemy long-range weapons, especially the covering attacks of magical crossbow arrows, the entire position immediately burned.

"Extinguish the fire, raise the shield!" The angry shout of Lin Gui, the alchemist who led the team, made Lu Han feel excited and jump up suddenly. The magic talisman in his hand suddenly threw out, and a light mist of water floated up in the air, and the burning fire was immediately suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, the two companions next to them also inserted one hand into the ground, and the other hand pulled out magic talismans in the bag and used force to activate it.

A series of silver-yellow wooden shields showed a strange golden color in the afterglow of the setting sun. The magic wooden shields arranged in sequence were like burning clouds, forming a magnificent and strange fence wall. They stood at the forefront of the stone cannon carts and resisted the magic crossbow arrows from the front. Each round of magic crossbow arrows impacted the wooden shield fences trembled and trembled.

However, this magic wooden shield fence had no effect on the stone cannon car behind it. The stone cannon car array continued to fire stone bombs in an orderly manner. Every round of projection could cause a tremor on the ground.

The entire north wall, especially the section concentrated in the city gate tower, began to break at a speed visible to the naked eye. If there was no accident, Shang Yunxi estimated that this section of the wall might collapse in one hour.

Songcheng is not like a heroic city like Bianliang or Luoyang. It is rare to be able to support it for such a long time. The impact of the stone bomb is unbearable for a city wall like a brick-covered rammed earth. Only three stone bombs are required to hit the same area in a row, which basically declares that the area is in a loose and shattered state.

Shang Yunxi was particularly excited. The first time he saw the fierce performance of the stone cannon cart on the battlefield, he also made him full of confidence in the future war. Under this kind of attack, how could the Caizhou army, which was insufficient in force, support it?
