Lord of Riders

"The archer is ready!" As Salton watched Shao Yu's siege vehicle gradually advance to a short distance below the city, he immediately ordered the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Nord Kingdom pulled up their bows and arrows, ready to shoot

Archers in the Nord Kingdom are also generally equipped with long bows, which can shoot up to 300 meters away. When the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom pushed the catapult more than two hundred meters away from the city wall, the Nord archers started shooting.

There are more than 2,000 archers in the Nordic garrison, and half of them are equipped with long bows. Shooting at a distance of more than two hundred meters can already pose a threat to the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom raised their shields to block the arrow rain, and continued to push their carts until they entered the shooting range of the catapult.

The soldiers carrying the ballista from behind also followed, and stopped at a distance of 300 meters from the city wall.

At a distance of three hundred meters, these ballistas can already fire accurately. However, the archer who defended the city couldn't shoot that far.

The ballistas entered the firing position, and the two auxiliary archers opened the ballistas to fill the crossbow bolts.

The crossbow used by this ballista is two meters long, and it is very laborious to fill, but it is absolutely powerful. When Shao Yu was experimenting, he used a two-centimeter thick iron plate, which could easily penetrate at a distance of 100 meters. A distance of more than 500 meters can easily penetrate ten layers of cooked cowhide.

Shao Yu's ballistamen set up their ballistas, preparing to fight back at the enemy at the head of the city.

The crossbowmen who control the ballistas are all trained and selected, and their eyesight and shooting skills are top-notch.

"Ready to shoot!" Bandak commanded the ballistaman under him and ordered

The soldiers filled the crossbow bolts one after another and aimed at the city head.

A hundred ballistas aimed at the archer on the head of the city, following Bandak's order! A hundred ballistas fired at the same time, and the two-meter-long crossbows roared towards the archers at the head of the city.

At such a short distance, the accuracy of the ballista can already be very high. The big crossbow arrows have shot the Nord archers at the head of the city. Because of the huge penetrating power and the length of the crossbow arrows, the big crossbow arrows are powerful after hitting the enemy. Unabated, some of them were directly worn on the soldiers behind.

Being shot by such a large crossbow, even if it is not dead, it is seriously injured. Such a long distance, such a powerful force, and such a high degree of accuracy immediately caused the Nord archers who defended the city to panic.

For the first time in a siege battle, this kind of ballista from the Kingdom of Shao Ming brought deep fear to the enemy.

But the attack still has to continue. Despite being shot by the ballista, the archers of the Nord Kingdom are still shooting the catapult close to the city wall. With the shooting of the archers, several soldiers with carts fell to the ground, and a large number of arrows were shot from the catapult. But this still does not threaten the catapult. After all, the catapult is a pile of thick wood, and some important parts are blocked by two layers of wide cowhide. Therefore, it is really difficult to destroy the catapult with a bow and arrow.

Soon the catapult was transported to the predetermined location, and the stones needed by the catapult were also carried up by the soldiers behind. Transporting stones and carts are both dangerous things. After all, those arrows don't have eyes. Although in order to reduce casualties, Shao Yu also sent soldiers to protect the cart with a shield. But there are still soldiers being hit by arrows that cannot be defended against.

At the same time, the infantry of the Shao Ming Kingdom also protected the crossbowmen from marching forward.

The infantry used shields to form a one-person shield wall to block the crossbowmen behind and protect them from entering the shooting range.

The range of the heavy crossbows of the Shao Ming Kingdom surpassed the archers of the Nord Kingdom, and the number of them was far more than that of the Nord Kingdom. The crossbowmen quickly advanced under the protection of the infantry to a distance of only two hundred meters from the city wall. The crossbowmen aimed at the city. Make the first round of shooting

"Prepare, let go!" With the commander's order, a thousand crossbowmen shot at the same time, and suddenly a dense rain of arrows covered the city of Kudan.

At the same time, another thousand crossbowmen started shooting, and the crossbowmen in the first round of shooting began to fill the crossbow bolts.

The catapult pitchers stopped behind the infantry and began to fill the catapult with stones.

After a round of crossbow arrows, the Nord archers who went down the wall were greatly suppressed. The heavy crossbow was absolutely superior in range, and its penetration was better than that of the longbow. There were hundreds of Nord archers in one shot. , The number of arrows in the infantry next to him is also quite large, there are also seventy or eighty.

The Nord infantry quickly raised their shields to block the heavy crossbow attack of the Shao Ming Kingdom. But the shield may be able to block the shooting of the heavy crossbow, but it is difficult to block the powerful ballista.

After the crossbowmen killed more than 300 Nord soldiers with two rounds of fire, the ballistamen filled the ballista again and launched a second attack.

One hundred ballistas fired in a volley, and even the shields could not stop the powerful penetrating power of the big crossbow arrows. Suddenly, more than one hundred people were shot and killed by the ballistas.

Then the ballista was about to return to silence, and the ballistas and their deputies reloaded the ballista, which took a while.

But this time the catapult was already set up.

The pitchers of the catapult corrected their direction, aiming at the head of the city one after another.

The crossbowmen were still firing rounds, and the longbowmen on the city head awkwardly fought back, but they had little effect in front of the shield wall of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

The infantry of the Nord Kingdom also held their shields in front to absorb firepower for their archers and reduce casualties.

However, even the infantry equipped with strong shields did not dare to resist easily.

"Ah!" With a cracking head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the sound of brain splashing, there was a burst of pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound from the head of the city.

Hundreds of large stones weighing tens of catties were directly thrown by the catapult below the city, smashing like Kudan's city head.

Although many stones were thrown into the city and outside the city wall, many stones fell on the city's head. A stone weighing tens of kilograms falls from a height, and as long as it is hit, it is either dead or injured. The casualties of the Nord defenders continued to increase.

The accuracy of today's catapults is not very good, and it is difficult to predict, but this stone can always hit many unlucky guys when it rains. The most important thing is the visual effect of being hit by a rock and the impact on morale.

Being hit by these big rocks, even wearing strong armor, still doesn't help. There is only one end that turns into a pile of meat sauce.

At the same time, the stone hit the city wall, and some directly smashed the female wall into a gap

"Hold me! Move the wounded down!" Lord Salton himself was taken aback by the Shao Ming Kingdom’s siege equipment, but he bit his head and stood on the wall to boost morale, and at the same time the soldiers under his opponent shouted.
