After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 157 Invasion Like Fire

A catapult rolled out from the team, and then countless stones flashed and bombarded the fortress wall!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Stones fall like rain!

People on the city wall will either die or be injured if they are hit by stones.

The rebel army had never seen such a formation before. The confidence they had just been inspired by was fleeting, and they were suddenly in chaos, just running down the city.

"Hold on, don't go down, don't go down!" A bandit leader wanted to stop, but no one listened to him.

Boom, a huge boulder was thrown at him, and he set up a mistake, which proved the correctness of the other thieves to run towards the city.

The trebuchets continued to smash for half an hour. Just when the rebels thought the offensive had stopped,

shhhhh!

shhhhh!

Countless archers came out, drew their bows and fired arrows.

A black curtain rose up, covering the fortress.

Those bandits who were lucky enough to escape the rain of stones did not escape the rain of arrows.

After ten rounds of arrow rain, five more eight-wheeled, five-story siege towers were launched from the army.The bottom layer contains soldiers who push the cart forward, and the other four layers contain combat soldiers who siege the city.The car is about 6 feet high, 3 feet wide and 4 feet long.

Siege towers, also known as siege vehicles, are taller than building walls.Not only can soldiers be carried on it, but in addition to being equipped with various long weapons, the vehicle can also be loaded with weapons such as crossbows and stone cannons.

Standing on the ram car, you can use your advantage of being higher than the city wall to shoot directly into the city from the car. You can also use it to get close to the city wall, destroy the female wall, and directly attack the enemy defenders on the city wall.

In addition to being inconvenient to move and unchanged in construction, it is definitely a siege weapon.

Pairs of soldiers jumped from the siege tower into the city wall... The heavily armed elite soldiers fought hand to hand with the bandits holding only a knife, and the bandits were retreating steadily!

Zhang Yuancheng shouted in a panic: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, hold on, hold on... put rocks, pour gold water! Set fire to the car."

There are still thieves running towards the city regardless of the situation.

Zhang Yuancheng became angry. He chopped down a escaping thief with a knife, and then shouted, "Anyone who dares to run away will be killed without mercy!" He wanted to stop the panic and people's hearts!

Boom!Boom!

Following the order, the dozens of three-bow crossbows on the rush car roared. The crossbow arrows, which were longer than a man, could nail people to the wall alive, and at the same time, Zhang Yuancheng's plan to stabilize the situation was also nailed down. dead on the wall,

After all, no matter how powerful Zhang Yuancheng is, he can only kill one person at a time, but the court's arrows, stone throwing and various siege weapons are constantly flowing...

The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the "eight-oxen crossbow", uses hard wood as the shaft and iron pieces as the feathers. It is as big as a gun and has a range of more than 10 feet. It is a veritable killer weapon. In addition to being widely used In addition to field battles, it can also be used in offensive and defensive battles between cities.

This thing is quite spectacular when launched, and it can be nailed directly into the city wall at close range.

The soldiers on the charging car shot three arrows at Zhang Yuancheng, who made the circle of people around him stand out!

He didn't shoot Zhang Yuancheng, but he also shot two of his bodyguards to death. Seeing his bodyguards nailed to the wall, Zhang Yuancheng was horrified!

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous. We can leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. We, let's go down the city wall!"

"Yes, uncle, without Iron Gate Fort, we still have seventeen fortresses and Shuntian City. There is no need to fight with the imperial army here. Go down!" Sun Desheng was also afraid and hurriedly persuaded him.

Although Zhang Yuancheng was unwilling, he was not afraid of others dying, but he was afraid of his own death, so under the persuasion of Zuo Zuo and Sun Desheng, he climbed down the city wall without much hesitation.

They got on their horses and planned to go to the next fortress, but they hadn't gone very far. Maybe they saw the king taking the lead in escaping, and finally breathed their last breath. The others ran back desperately, without any courage to stop them. No.

<divclass="contentadv">Boom!

There was a roar at the gate of Iron Gate Fort. It turned out that at the city gate, hundreds of soldiers had already crashed into the city gate in crashing cars...

Zhang Yuancheng, who was riding a horse, heard a huge roar that made him tremble. He turned around and saw people on his side running away at the city gate, while the imperial cavalry was rolling in.

"Impossible...it's impossible..."

Zhang Yuancheng didn't believe that the defense at the pass, which he was proud of, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He never expected that in less than half an hour, the imperial court would break through a fortress. The Iron Gate Fort, which he was most proud of and put the most effort into, would be broken through quickly!

"This is impossible..." Zhang Yuancheng still couldn't believe it and kept shouting "impossible!"

In fact, he doesn't know that no matter how strong a fortress is, it can only be defended by people. If people are useless or lose their courage, then no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be broken!

The current situation is that under the premise that he, the thief, takes the lead in escaping, people's hearts are completely dispersed.

Ignoring his disbelief, bandits of thieves fled from the warehouse in panic, carrying Yuan Cheng with them and moving forward...

In the first battle, Shen Qingjun went all out!Let these thieves who have never seen the world open their eyes."

Immediately afterwards, there was Shuangshi Fort, Luoyan Fort...the remaining seventeen fortresses were captured without any effort, mainly because the rebels inside escaped faster than the official troops.

Even Murong Wugong and others couldn't keep up with them on horseback because of their skinny feet...

The imperial army was so powerful that within half a day, they broke through eighteen fortresses, shocking the rebel army!

We can only retreat to the Sunchon Fortress to survive!

In Shuntian City, every bandit soldier who survived the disaster looked at each other, and you could see a hint of despair on each other's faces, as well as their thoughts, 'Why is the imperial court so powerful...'

After destroying eighteen fortresses of the rebel army, Shen Qingjun ordered the army to stop and surrounded Shuntian City. She was not in a hurry to attack. She wanted to let the inside be in chaos.

Throughout history, the strongest fortresses have been breached from within…

Of course, she couldn't attack anymore, because she had used up all her siege preparations in half an hour at Iron Gate Castle today.

It was the first wave of attacks that frightened the rebels so much that they gave up the seventeen fortresses and ran away without even resisting.Moreover, the sun is about to set at this time, and our side has the advantage, so we don’t have to fight overnight!

Suncheon City

"This...what happened?" Zhang Yuancheng looked at the chaotic thieves all over the city and didn't know why he was completely defeated.

He only remembered that the imperial army opened the gate of Iron Gate Fort and marched straight in, while his soldiers ran back like frightened rabbits...

Then... the fortresses collapsed one after another!

There were people running away all over the mountains and fields, and he was helplessly dragged to the rear and fled desperately... He didn't even have time to organize his army to prepare for war...

Until he entered Shuntian City, his head was a little dazed.

Thinking about it now, if there was no way to escape, Suncheon City might have been abandoned today!Even if it hadn't been dark, I was afraid that Sunchon City would have been lost today.
