The Shu army did not go fast, and it could even be said to be very slow. Although the invisible momentum caused the soldiers to defend the city to feel depressed, Hu Feng also took advantage of this period of time to prepare to defend the city. He mobilized all the people he could gather in the city and even drove many people to the city to assist in the defense.

When the Shu army was still two hundred steps away from the city wall of Tianshui City, it did not launch an attack, but stopped. Two hundred steps was a very delicate distance. Hu Feng had already asked the archers to pull the bow and stylus to attack the enemy, but the Shu army did not attack the city as expected, making Hu Feng feel as uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his throat.

"General, what are they doing?" A deputy general looked at the Shu army in confusion, and someone was carrying all kinds of things out.

"How do I know?" Hu Feng groaned unhappily: "Stay on me and don't take it lightly. That Taiwei is a cunning figure."

"Here!"

Two hundred steps away, Ding Li measured the distance from the city wall and nodded to Fang Yue.

Under the command of the Divine Worker Craftsman who accompanied the army, hundreds of soldiers carried irregularly shaped pieces of wood and began to splice them. First, more than a dozen pieces of wood were spliced ​​into something like a base, fixed to the ground by someone with wooden nails, and then a pillar was inserted, and then a long horizontal bar.

With the stunned eyes of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the city tower, the cross castle carts rose up like this, and the time took less than half an hour.

It's right to be a catapult, but it seems to be different from the catapult they know. It's a little bigger, with various gear-shaped wooden plates overlapping each other and ropes pulling, which looks much stronger than ordinary catapults in both workmanship and volume.

After the catapult cart was built, it did not stop. These people began to build the well again, which was different from the traditional well. There were wooden wheels below. Although they had not yet been fully loaded, the part that had been supported was almost higher than the city wall. The base was very wide. Twenty-four horizontal bars rushed out and a wooden board was erected in front of the horizontal bars.

When the cross that looked like a well was completely built, it was already afternoon, like ten mini forts, it looked like the city guards felt depressed, and it was not over yet.

On the wooden stacked walls that were constructed like women's walls, big yellow crossbows were put up, and someone followed the ladder to send bundles of special arrow clusters.

The attack of the Shu army has never begun, but the morale of the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city has been constantly destroyed with the erecting of the giants. Even Hu Feng, as the main general, has the idea of ​​retreating. Although he is not aware of the harshness, these things just look at them and feel that they are powerful.

Finally, the well that was ten feet above the city wall was also set up. Just as Hu Feng was preparing to fight, he saw someone carrying a row of crossbows and lined up outside the city. These preparations alone took three hours to prepare. Several times, Hu Feng wanted to take people out and destroy these things, but he did not dare. Two troops on both sides were eyeing the city gate. As soon as Hu Feng left the city, he would be shot into a hedgehog before he could rush to the siege equipment.

The most terrifying thing is that for three hours, the defenders of Tianshui City were noisy and even complained, but in the Shu army opposite, except for the voices of the commanders, it was silent. The formation seen through the Jingli and the catapult cart did not waver for three hours.

Hu Feng had read military books. He originally thought that such an army would only be seen in the art of military affairs. In reality, it was impossible to find such a army, but the one in front of him was just the same as the one in the military books. The military discipline was solemn, giving people a feeling of facing mountain and yue, and he was psychologically at a disadvantage.

"Prepare the test shooting of the Sky Car, let it go!"

The catapult cart, which was already hidden behind the well, made a series of harsh sounds that would make when wood rubbed. Then, in Hu Feng's horrified gaze, ten millsize rock bullets flew over two hundred steps away and fell from the sky.

"Boom~"

A stone bullet fell on the city wall and shattered, like sharp arrows, shooting all the soldiers around with huge force.

These stone bullets seem to be stuck together with gravel. When they hit the city wall, they will not cause much damage to the city wall, but the broken and splashed stones release terrifying lethality. Within two meters of radius, there are almost no living people!

The stone bullet is not cheap. More than a dozen stonemasons in the Shengong Camp divided the work and worked together to polish one in three days. The material of the stone bullet was not strong, but it was inlaid with at least a hundred gravels. Some of them were directly shattered after impact, but more were launched indiscriminate attacks around under the action of squeezing.

Although the catapults in the past were also powerful, they acted more on the wall, and the deterrence was greater than the actual lethality. However, while the stone bullet in front of us weakened the damage to the wall, the lethality increased significantly.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

Most of the other stone bombs also fell on the city wall, but fortunately, they were all ordinary stone bombs, and the damage caused was not great. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle. Those stone bombs alone would be enough to force them to give up the city wall.

Even if they had a catapult at a distance of two hundred steps, they could not eject the stones so far. The opponent could attack rampantly, but they could not even resist and could only passively withstand the opponent's attack, which made Hu Feng feel extremely frustrated.

"The two generals, the test shots are completed, and the power is similar to our expectations. If we cooperate with the Sky-Bang Stone Bullet, only ten shots will be needed, and there will be not many left in the city's defenders!" A craftsman from the divine work camp stepped forward and bowed to Ding Li and Fang Yue.

"Don't use it for the time being." Ding Li shook his head and said, "Test shot of the three stone crossbow!"

"Here!" The craftsman agreed to retreat. Soon, two hundred soldiers, half carrying a three-stone yellow crossbow, and half appeared at a 160-step position under the city with crossbow arrows. One hundred three-stone yellow crossbows set up a bracket on the ground and began to find their respective targets.

"Let it go!" The leader waved his hand, and in an instant, hundreds of sharp arrows broke out of the air, and clusters of arrows as thick as thumbs almost instantly crossed a distance of 60 steps. The defenders on the city wall were shot by the crossbow arrow without even reacting.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang ~"

Amid the dull sound, the crossbow arrows were extremely powerful. Once they hit the target, they could penetrate directly into the human body. Even if the two of them stood in a row, they would be directly strung together. In an instant, the entire city tower was wailing.

"The accuracy is slightly poor, and the power should reach 180 steps! The crossbow is too bulky and not suitable for large-scale equipment. It can be used to shoot and kill enemy generals in a concentrated manner." A specialist of the Shengong Battalion took out a bamboo paper and began to write quickly. Although this crossbow is powerful, it is too bulky. If an ordinary soldier carries this crossbow, it may be difficult for him to carry any equipment. He needs someone to help him carry arrows. The disadvantages are obvious, but the advantages are also obvious. This crossbow is used to snipe enemy generals. As long as the opponent enters the range and shoots in a concentrated manner, the enemy's command system can be directly paralyzed.

"The three-stone crossbow soldiers retreat! Test the two-stone big yellow crossbow!"

Hu Feng, who had not yet woken up from his previous situation, then saw a row of soldiers of about a thousand people quickly walking out of the Shu army. This time, they were relatively far ahead, but these soldiers were wearing strange armor, like vine armor, and were covered with a layer of leather outside. From head to toe, even their necks were wrapped in armor, and they walked about eighty distances from the city wall.

"Shoot the arrow!" Seeing the enemy making such a crazy move, Hu Feng was overjoyed. In an instant, hundreds of arrows fell down here.

But the soldiers pulled the mask on their helmets, and the arrow clusters shot out in Hu Feng's shocked gaze were actually bounced away!

The vine armor was made of. The eighty step book was within the effective range of the bow and arrow, and it could not cause any harm to them. Instead, these people slowly raised the crossbow in their hands, aimed, and then shot out the crossbow arrow. The archer who had just emerged was simply overturned by the murdered man.

Hu Feng turned his head, avoiding an arrow shot at him, with a look of a ghost on his face. Although he was Li Jue's nephew, he had been on the battlefield. He fought from the northwest to Luoyang, and had never seen such an invulnerable force.

"General, this battle cannot be fought!!" A deputy general shrank under the dead corner of the city wall, climbed to Hu Feng's feet, and hissed: "No one is bullying like this!"

It was already very aggrieved that people could fight themselves from a distance, but they could not fight back. Now, a seemingly normal army has finally arrived and they can fight back, but the next moment, the invulnerable armor is enough to make anyone collapse.

The defenders on the city wall have already begun to escape. Rather than being killed by the opponent, they have no intention of fighting again, it is better to say that this kind of battle that can only be beaten but cannot kill the enemy is really hard to have the idea of ​​fighting. Just ask how to fight?

"Retreat!" Hu Feng sighed. Not to mention others, he felt desperate when facing such an army. It doesn't matter if he died in battle, but the Shu army has such a terrible army, and his uncle must know.

At this moment, Hu Feng abandoned the city wall and ignored the panic-willed people. He led the remaining soldiers to open the east gate and headed straight towards Jingzhao. When the Shu army captured Tianshui, the Longxi side might not be safe. Moreover, Hu Feng and Li Xian had some competitive relationship. If Li Xian died here, Hu Feng would have the opportunity to inherit Li Jue's position.

"What a pity!" Ye Zhao, who was standing on a hill watching the battle, saw it clearly. Before the rooftop was used, the Xiliang army guarding the city had already fled. These things had not been tested in practice. Obviously, Hu Feng was not a good opponent.

"Lord, have you sent someone to intercept me?" Xu Rong bowed.

"No need, just use this person's mouth to tell Li Jue, I'm here!" Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled, "Let Ding Li, Fang Yue appease the people, gather the five counties in Longyou, and order Guan Yu to join our army, take Guan Yu as the vanguard and attack Ji County first!"
