Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 Torque Thunderbolt Cannon

This time, the Liu Biao soldiers who followed Liu Qi had a stroke, but there were also two or three thousand archers.

Therefore, after Liu Qi took the saber and shield hands in front to control a certain space outside the city gate of Yicheng, these archers also stood in a queue in the open space, and then drew their bowstrings one after another, and went to the Divine Arrow Camp to protect that place. A round of feathered arrows was thrown from the sword, shield and crossbow archers of more than a dozen siege vehicles.

"Three hundred steps back! Formation to fight!"

At this time, Tai Shici, who was on the arrow rest of the siege and chariot, had returned to the ground at some point, and then commanded the actions of the entire army of the Shenjian Battalion. Hands also withdrew from the arrow rest one after another.

So while protecting the siege chariots and retreating slowly, the entire army of the Shenjian Battalion also used the walls constructed by these siege chariots to avoid the feathered arrows shot by Liu Biao's defenders on the Yicheng city wall.

Without the suppression of the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion, the archers on the city wall naturally became a threat to the siege troops of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

However, Tai Shici's contingency military order was issued very timely, so before Liu Biao's feathered arrow came, the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion had already withdrawn from the range of the feathered arrow.

In this way, the entire army of the Shenjian Battalion stopped and re-arranged in place after exiting the safe area with a distance of more than 300 steps, while the simple siege vehicles that protected the retreat continued to retreat slowly. go.

As for the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion, after forming their formation, they were preparing to start a decisive battle outside the city with Liu Biao's soldiers who had left the city. It was also in line with Wang Yuyan's strategy to draw the Liu Biao soldiers out of the city to fight.

Of course, when the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion retreated before, the archers of the Shenjian Battalion also drew their bows and released arrows one after another. With the help of the arrows thrown by the bows and arrows, they stopped the soldiers brought out by Liu Qi, and the retreating soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion charged and approached. , This naturally gave the sword and shield players and crossbowmen on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion time to regroup.

As for the simple siege vehicles that gradually retreated, there were indeed many arrow-proof wooden boards that were shot by rockets, gradually igniting the wood and burning the flames, which also tended to spread to the surroundings.

Therefore, these siege vehicles were slowly retreated and moved under the push of the auxiliary soldiers at the carts on the base below, while some other auxiliary soldiers had already started to overturn the erected wall panels.

Then some auxiliary soldiers climbed up and removed the arrow shields with larger fires, and sprinkled sand on some arrow shields with smaller fires to extinguish the flames, and then made some repairs to make these simple siege shields The rush car can be used again at any time.

After Liu Qi came out of the city with Liu Biao's soldiers in Yicheng, he saw Zhu Wei's siege chariot and retreated.

Relying on the protection of the archers on the city wall, Liu Qi led the troops and organized soldiers to form an army formation outside the city, but he didn't intend to directly fight with the Taishi Mercy Archery Battalion outside the city.

Looking at the movements of Liu Biao's soldiers, Liu Biao seemed to want to take advantage of the defense of these soldiers to temporarily build a defensive position outside the city wall. It seemed that Liu Biao did not dare to let Zhu Wei's army approach the city wall, and let Zhu Wei's army use various means to attack the city up.

But in this way, Liu Biao had to give up the defensive advantage of the city wall, and could only let his soldiers fight against Zhu Wei's army outside the city.

However, Tai Shici and the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion did not respond in a hurry, but quietly confronted the soldiers brought out from Yicheng by Liu Qi, keeping a safe distance of an arrow's range from each other.

Tai Shici had no siege chariots to suppress the archers of Liu Biao's defenders on the city wall, so he really didn't dare to easily attack Liu Qi's army formation that was gradually gathering outside the city.

Otherwise, there is the threat of bows and arrows from Yicheng defenders above, and the defensive formation formed by Liu Qi below, which is equivalent to the three thousand Liu Biao soldiers who went out of the city to charge the formation before, facing the dilemma of arrow rain above and enemy troops below.

Even Tai Shici was not sure that he could break through Liu Qi's army and enter Yicheng under such circumstances.

Of course, this situation is only temporary, and Zhu Wei will definitely not give Liu Biao the opportunity to construct more defensive measures outside the city walls of Yicheng. Now it is only a buffer time for Zhu Wei's next military response.

Sure enough, not long after, as those simple siege vehicles slowly retreated to the safe area behind the army array formed by the Shenjian Battalion, the army array composed of soldiers also moved a few steps within the main array of Zhu Wei's army. After that, a channel was opened in the army formation directly through the rear army area.

Then from the direction of Zhu Wei's rear army, more than a dozen torsion thunderbolt cannons were slowly pushed forward, until they reached the back of the Shenjian Battalion controlled by Tai Shici, and then stopped and began to build on the spot.

That's right, Zhu Wei was going to bombard Liu Biao's soldiers leaving the city with thunderbolt cannons.

For the enemy formation without any defensive preparations and can only rely on soldiers' shields to resist defense, the rocks thrown by the Thunderbolt Cannon are definitely a bloody massacre.

After Huang Yueying came to Yuzhang before, she also used her knowledge of mechanism skills to help the craftsmen in the craftsman workshop improve the throwing power of the torsion thunderbolt cannon in Zhu Weijun, so now the throwing force of these torsion thunderbolt cannons is stronger, not only It can only throw pebbles and gravel, and it can already throw some large rock blocks and rock balls like a real siege machine.

It is only limited to material issues. If you are projecting heavy rock blocks or rock balls, after a period of time, you must stop to check and re-strengthen the projectile rod and other key structures, otherwise this torsion thunderbolt will also collapse. Danger.

But at least there should be no problem for each Torsion Thunderbolt Cannon to throw more than a dozen rocks at the enemy, and this is enough to show a terrifying deterrent force when attacking the city.

Under the protection of about [-] swordsmen, archers, and crossbowmen of Tai Shici's Shenjian Battalion, after a dozen torsion thunderbolt guns were firmly fixed on the ground, special auxiliary soldiers began to rotate the twisting ropes, Pull the projectile lever, and then put pieces of rock as wide and thick as a washbasin and weighing nearly a hundred catties into the projectile pocket.

"Crack...thunderbolt..."

As the buckle was knocked off by the hammer, the projectile rod was quickly and powerfully pulled up with the force of the twisted rope. After making a thunderbolt sound, the rock in the projectile pocket was thrown towards Yicheng under the action of inertia. flew over.

"Papapa...thunderbolt, thunderbolt, thunderbolt..."

More than a dozen torsion thunderbolt guns threw more than a dozen rocks forward one after another, inevitably making a burst of noise behind the army formation of the Shenjian Battalion.

"Woo... woo... woo..."

The rock thrown into the air also pierced the air with a dull sound. Under the action of the powerful throwing force, it fell towards Liu Biao's army formed by six or seven thousand soldiers outside the city wall.

"What is this!", "What is that movement!"

Because the figure of more than 1 soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion commanded by Tai Shici blocked most of the body of the Torsion Thunderbolt Cannon, it was not until these Torsion Thunderbolt Cannons threw stones and made a sound that Liu Biao's soldiers lined up outside Yicheng were moved. aware.

Quite a few people watched from afar behind the Zhu Wei Divine Arrow Camp, and some people inadvertently looked up, oh my god, there are stones flying over from the sky...
