Chapter 784 The first close contact between the car and the trebuchet (second update)
Chapter 793

On the top of the city, sharp feathered arrows and crossbow arrows flew away like locusts, and after flying for a while, they fell downward.

The screams and wails of the wounded soldiers of the Liaoxia coalition army came one after another, but they could not slow down the footsteps of the companions at all. On the contrary, they became faster and faster, because the slower they walked, the more they were hurt by the terrible sharp arrows for so long. Baptism takes longer.

Each round of arrow rain will be accompanied by dozens of rockets or fire arrows. This is to allow observers on the city wall to clearly see the situation on the ground and adjust the shooting angle.

The roars of the officers on the city, the rattling of the mechanism, and the sound of loose strings, and the wails of the opponent's counterattack shooting and wounding the defenders echoed throughout.

The young men transporting arrows and crossbows, the medical soldiers carrying the wounded, and groups of frontier soldiers who had already stood behind the parapet, waiting silently for the attack.

After receiving the news, Wang Yang rushed to the north gate as soon as possible. He was in charge of the division and the east gate here, and there were two generals in charge of the other two gates.

As for Tang Xuncheng, he continued to be responsible for appeasing the people in the city and allocating supplies, while Gao Shize's main job was to do logistics for the medical center and Yuanyou stone throwing machine.

When several fire arrows suddenly did not fall towards the ground as expected, but actually hung in the air and continued to burn, the observers on the top of the city immediately shouted loudly.

Soon, more and more people put on fire arrows and continued to scatter towards the distance.Gradually, he was finally able to see clearly that there were five rushing cars, which were two hundred steps away at this moment.

"Liang Zuo, tell them to measure the position and fire immediately!" Wang Yang yelled at Liang Zuo beside him without thinking.

At this moment, only the Yuanyou crossbow can reach the range, which proves that those chariots are still more than two hundred steps away at this moment. If they enter the range of the rocket, then what is waiting for the soldiers at the top of Youzhou city will be It was the rain of arrows thrown from the rushing car.

Thanks to the Great Song Military Weapons Supervisor for his confidentiality work, he did a good job. At least the Great Song had a god-armed crossbow in the past, and now he has a Yuanyou crossbow, a long-range weapon with a range that exceeds one-third of the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

Both Liao and Xixia lacked long-range weapons to compete with them. They had to rush forward desperately to reach the range where their bows and arrows could meet the enemy before they could engage in a life-threatening exchange with them.

The hustle and bustle above the city has already been transmitted into the city, and the four Yuanyou trebuchet positions are already in full swing.And the battalion commanders in charge of their respective positions kept urging the observers standing on the tall watchtowers.

"How about it, did you see any instructions? Be damned sharp-eyed to me. And you, hurry up and install all the poles quickly. Why are you guys standing here in a daze? Why don't you hurry up? Go over and help? Grandma, she didn't even wink."

Fortunately, the five Yuanyou catapults located on the Yuanyou catapult position at the north gate of the city have already installed the poles, and the load has been loaded, and then they are connected to the winch, so that the Yuanyou catapults are in the right position. After waiting for the firing state, everyone fell silent.

They all focused their attention on the observers on the observation tower who were holding telescopes, but they never let go of them.

Just when everyone was getting impatient, they finally heard the No.1 observer shout loudly. "Machine No. [-], ten degrees to the left..."

"Six degrees to the left of machine number two..."

"Unit No. [-], Zero Degree, launch directly!"

At the moment when the observer of the No. [-] machine yelled out sharply, the powerful and strong man of Wu Kong standing next to the Yuanyou catapult let out a roar, raised his heavy hammer, and slammed it down fiercely.

After a bang, I saw the long tip of the No. [-] Yuanyou trebuchet with its tip tilted towards the ground suddenly stood upright under the action of the heavy hammer.

Due to the high speed, even the slightly elastic tip was curved, and the stone bullets that were quietly thrown into the spoon flew away, almost disappearing at a speed invisible to the human eye. In the darkness of the distance.

They didn't need to think about whether they hit the shot or not. After the stone bullet was thrown out, the soldiers got busy again, driving the bull over, retying the reins, and pulling the heavy winch again. .

Wang Yang stood on the top of the wall, squinting his eyes, and biting his lips lightly with his teeth. It was already fifteen breaths since the fire arrow of the first Yuanyou crossbow hit those rushing chariots. More and more fire arrows hit the car.

However, these fire arrows cannot cause effective damage to the car at all. What can be expected is the huge power and terrifying destructive ability of Yuanyou's trebuchet.

It's just that it's been so long, and yet no stone bomb has come flying over, or did it miss the target?Daguan Wang rubbed his hands, his palms were already covered with sweat.

At this time, Wang Yang seemed to have heard a hoarse and dull gust of wind sweeping past his ears, and then disappeared in an instant. This made him wonder if it was an illusion, when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front. crash.

It was as if a train had crashed into a cliff head-on, or as if two trucks with a speed of over [-] kilometers per hour had collided head-on.

At this moment, it was out of complete darkness, and dawn gradually appeared in the east, making Wang Yang's vision clearer and clearer. He just happened to observe that the car carrying the fire arrow, but continuing to move forward slowly and resolutely, suddenly appeared on its upper left. Fang, cracked a hole through the opening.

There are also some flying wooden boards, and even some human limbs, like torn rag dolls, being scattered in all directions with the hole as the center.

On top of the charging car, Li was able to shoot a four-stone bow and was leading a group of the best archers from the Wanyan tribe. Standing on the roof of the charging car, he was about to try it when he felt as if the entire charging car had been hit by an invincible giant. Fist, the whole person was caught off guard and was so shocked that he fell onto the car.

Fortunately, Wanyan Aguda was very alert, and immediately grabbed the wooden railing in front of him, so he was not thrown out mercilessly like the warriors of the clan around him, and then fell out of thin air like this Sanzhang, even if he is not disabled, he is still seriously injured and disabled.

And the foul blood from the rush, as well as a severed hand, slammed Wanyan Ah Gu's face hard, like a slap in the face out of thin air. .

After piercing the solid and tall car, the rough stone bullets still had momentum, and flew out for nearly ten feet, and then fell on the densely packed soldiers, and then bounced forward a few times. stopped.
