Lu Tai raised his right hand and pressed forward gently, and said lightly: "Attack."

The one who guarded behind Lu Tai as a messenger was Zhou Guanfu, the great cavalry general of the Han Dynasty. After Lu Tai gave the order, Zhou Guanfu suddenly turned around and turned around and started to scream: "The general has an order, and he will throw a stone cart...attack!"

With the order from Zhou Guanfu, the messenger on the nest car quickly raised the flag.

The next moment, corresponding flags were raised from the commanding chariots at the next level. In an instant, the Han army schools standing in front of the casting chariots, drew their swords and raised them over the top, and then looked up at the sky for a long howl: "Ao... Ha!" As the word "Ha" exited, the long swords raised by the Han army schools were cut down in the air.

The Han military strongman, who had been standing by the catapult, raised the wooden hammer high and smashed it hard on the machine bracket.

With the continuous bangs, more than 200 catapults crashed away the cradle at the same time. The counterweight weighing tens of thousands of pounds lost the support of the cradle and began to fall down in an instant, and then drove the thick and long swinging arm, and the hanging basket connected to the far end of the swing arm through an iron cable was swung into the air.

When the hanging basket crossed the highest point, the huge rocks contained in the hanging basket broke free from the constraints of the hanging basket. Under the action of huge inertia, they flew toward the Chu army camp five hundred steps away... More than 200 huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds intertwined in the air and roared towards the Chu army camp in extreme shock.

#############

Xiang Zhuang's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and the Han army's catapult was indeed not simple.

Bailixian also paused slightly in his hand and whispered: "King, the range of the Han army's catapult is almost no less than that of our army's catapult. It seems that there are also craftsmen under Liu Bang's tent that are not inferior to that of Gongshu."

Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly, looked back at Qu Bucai, and asked, "Old Qu, do you know who this person is?"

Qu Bucai whispered: "Master, there is no definite news yet, but based on various signs, it is speculated that the Han army's catapult car is probably designed by Bai Mo."

"Bai Mo?" Xiang Zhuang said sternly, "He is really a versatile."

Bailixian nodded gently and said deeply: "As both the Guigu Sect, Bai Mo may not be as good as learning swords when commanding the troops and winning the battle on the battlefield, but in terms of political strategy, strategy and miscellaneous attainments, he may be better than learning swords. A versatile talent like Bai Mo may never find a second in the world."

"Such talent cannot be used by me. What a pity." Xiang Zhuang felt regretful.

Baili Xian smiled and said, "Just wait until Liu Bang's army is defeated, you might as well let the Shangdao go to Xianyang. Perhaps you can convince Bai Mo to be used by the king. In this way, the great Chu is very lucky and the people of the world are very lucky."

As the two of them spoke, the huge rock thrown by the Han army's catapult car had flew over more than 500 steps away. Then it was violently smashed down on the head of the Chu army with a huge sound of breaking through the air. The Chu army guarding the camp suddenly had a small commotion, and the Chu army, who were just in the direction of the whereabouts of the huge rock, hurriedly dodged.

A giant rock with ferocious edges fell first, and in the middle of the fence of the Chu army camp, there was only a loud bang. The fence made of logs as thick as a bowl was broken into pieces, splashing chips everywhere, and the broken wood flew everywhere. The originally thick and complete fence was instantly smashed into a gap of half a meter wide, and the several archers guarding the above screamed and fell down.

"Boom boom boom..." The next moment, more than two hundred huge rocks fell from the air.

A huge rock roared down into the archers' queue. Dozens of archers near the landing point suddenly scattered. Only one new recruit who had never been to the battlefield raised his head, as if he was scared to death. He stared at the huge rock falling from the sky, and forgot to hide for a moment.

"Dog, dodge. dodge!" A veteran yelled.

The new recruit was stunned and stood there stupidly. In desperation, the veteran rushed forward in two steps, grabbed the new recruit's arm and threw it hard. The new recruit was finally thrown out, but the veteran was hit by a huge rock falling from the sky, and in an instant it turned into a pile of meat paste.

On the towering arrow tower, more than a dozen archers suddenly screamed.

Because a huge rock had already roared down from the air, if nothing unexpected happened, it would definitely hit the waist of the arrow tower. At that time, the huge rock hit half of the arrow tower, and in an instant it completely disintegrated the entire arrow tower. Among the splashing wood fragments, more than a dozen Chu army archers screamed and fell down.

Falling from an arrow tower that is more than four meters high, more than a dozen archers were knocked to death, and two unlucky archers landed directly on the fence. In an instant, they were pierced by sharpened logs and died so much that they could not die again.

The two teams of flying spearmen suddenly started to riot. Because two huge rocks were falling on their heads, the flying spearmen at the landing point quickly retreated in all directions. The huge rock hit the ground with a loud bang. Although it did not directly hit people, the huge impact force still overturned dozens of flying spearmen nearby to the ground.

Only the heavy armored martial soldiers guarding behind the fence seemed calm and composed.

The heavy armored martial arts are the backbone of the army, composed of all veterans. As a veteran, the heavy armored martial arts are well aware that the catapult carts are actually scary, but as long as you don’t run around, the probability of being hit by a huge rock is extremely small. On the contrary, the enemy’s flying spear and rain of arrows is really deadly.

The first wave of stone rains from the Han army's catapults finally passed. Except for about fifty huge rocks that fell on the open space in front of the camp, the remaining more than one hundred and fifty huge rocks all fell into the Chu army camp, and more than a dozen huge rocks directly made more than a dozen huge gaps on the village wall of the Chu army camp.

Looking at the village wall that had broken more than a dozen gaps, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh.

Although the Chu army also had catapults, and the number was more than that of the Han army, it could not stop the Han army from destroying the Chu army's camps. He pushed the catapults up and fought against the Han army's catapults? Don't joke, the catapults were originally used to attack fixed large targets, and it was difficult to threaten the Han army's catapults five hundred steps away.

To put it bluntly, Chu and Han sides set up catapults to fight each other, and one of them might not be able to destroy them for half a day.

Therefore, instead of pushing the catapult cart in front to fight the Han army for meaningless bombardment, it is better to put them behind. In this way, when the Han army throws into the infantry to launch a strong attack, it can at least pose a certain threat to the Han army. In front of the dense infantry formation, the range of the catapult cart is still quite threatening.

#############

After the Han army's catapult threw out the first wave of stone rain, nearly a thousand strongmen with bare chests and backs on their backs began to turn the huge winch frantically and slowly squeeze the counterweights of the catapults. After half a quarter of an hour, the counterweights of more than 200 catapults finally reached the apex, and then supported them with machine brackets to complete the launch preparations again.

More than 200 Han army schools raised their long swords again and then slashed them down again.

Accompanied by the "bang bang bang" wooden hammer crash, more than 200 catapults in front of the Han army roared again, throwing huge stones into the air, then rolled over the void, and roared down towards the sky again in the Chu army camp. Another swaying shaking in the Chu army camp.

The bombardment of the Han army's catapult car lasted for more than half an hour before it finally ended.

Under the repeated attacks of the Han army's catapults, the Chu army camp was destroyed and full of devastation. The plains in front of the camp were already smashed into pits, and the thick and solid village walls were also smashed into hundreds of large gaps. Looking down from the air, the entire Chu army camp seemed to be destroyed by some monster, which was a terrible sight.

The only thing to be thankful is that the casualties are not very large.

As for the same sentence, the catapult cart is just a scary sound. It has unparalleled lethality and destructive power to large fixed targets such as city walls, arrow towers, camps, etc., but its killing to individual soldiers is really limited. As long as you are not scared, or the formation is not so crowded that it is difficult to turn around, you will basically not be smashed to death.

However, the Han army never expected to rely on catapults to kill and injure the Chu army. The only thing they needed was to destroy the Chu army's battalion defense and clear as much obstacles as possible for the infantry's attack.

#############

Liu Bang was quite satisfied with the impact of the catapult car.

In any case, the walls of the Chu army camp have been destroyed and destroyed, and are not enough to resist the impact of the Han cavalry. Now, as long as light troops are sent to fill the trench in front of the Chu army camp, remove the annoying deer forts and resist the horses, they can directly join the heavy cavalry to charge.

Of course, the Chu army's crossbow is still a huge threat.

However, the Chu army's crossbows were not without shortcomings. Although the crossbows were extremely lethal, they had to fix the crossbow bed before launching, and the requirements for shooting are also very high. If used to guard the camp, the crossbows must be fixed to the village wall. In this way, the Han army's catapult cart can be calmly destroyed.

Suddenly, Lu Tai raised his right hand again and pressed forward gently.

Zhou Guanfu turned around suddenly, turned around, and then looked up at the sky and howled: "Infantry, attack..."

The central nest chariot and the surrounding secondary nest chariots raised the flags of infantry attack. In an instant, the heavy armored Han army, who were waiting for battle, drew out their long swords, carried large shields, and slowly walked forward with loud trumpets. Following the heavy armor of Han army were teams of Han army archers, and teams of light soldiers carrying sacks.

As the waves grew higher and higher, the Han army was heavily armed, light soldiers and archers were rushing forward.

Looking at the Han army soldiers who were moving forward, a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Liu Bang's mouth. He turned to Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping and the others said, "Zifang, Chen Ping, do you think Xiang Zhuang will use a crossbow in the first round?"
