【Chapter 047】 Catapult

The sun sets.

Dayang City, at the west gate.

Twenty-five thousand Xiliang cavalry were waiting in formation outside the city gate. The dark cavalry formation was divided into five columns, occupying almost the entire flat land outside the west gate.

At this moment, on top of the city tower, Yan Rou and Tian Yu were sitting across from each other on the watchtower. There was a Go game on the table. On the chessboard, only one of the black stones held by Yan Rou fell, which made people confused.

At this glance, it is even more puzzling that tens of thousands of cavalrymen wearing armor and standing swords can sit peacefully in a row.

"Yide, are you done with it?" Yan Rou took a while, then raised her head to look at Tian Yu, and asked aloud: "You know, this black chess piece is an important step!"

"Your game is too big. However, Han Sui and Ma Teng have no capable people around them. Maybe this battle can make you famous!" Tian Yu said slowly while stroking the unnecessary announcement.

, the white chess piece fell down, and with one chess move, the momentum was unstoppable, but he did not guard against the black chess piece...

At the front of the Xiliang military formation, Han Sui stood on horseback with his sword drawn. Behind him, Ma Chao, Ma Wan and others lined up in a row, looking at Dayang City with eager eyes, their eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Damn you, you dare to deceive me. If the city is destroyed, Zhang Fei, Yan Rou and others will be cut into pieces!" Behind Han Sui, Ma Wan roared through gritted teeth, his eyes faintly red.

Han Sui, Ma Chao and others were obviously filled with hatred at this moment, and their teeth chattered when they heard Ma Wan's words.

A dignified general from the feudal lords of Xiliang was deceived for several days by a young boy who used the plan of an empty city to deceive him like a fool. He even dared to directly station himself in a small town like Dayang. This is obvious.

How can Han Sui and others not be angry if they disdain him?

At this moment, a fast horse galloped from behind like wind and clouds. When he was approaching Han Sui, he suddenly reined in the horse, raised his fists, and reported in a rapid voice:

"General, there are no other reinforcements in the city. There are only more than 7,000 Wu Zhaohou troops, led by Yan Rou, Zhang Fei and others. In addition, Bingzhou Biejia Tian Yu is also in the city!"

"Oh, Tian Yu is still in Dayang City?! If that's the case, then..." Han Sui murmured, with a cold smile on his lips. The broadsword in his hand was suddenly raised high above his head, and he moved forward with force.

Wave, "Catapult, prepare to attack the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden cart slowly came from the center of the five-row square array. There was a huge lever placed on the wooden cart, with wooden baskets tied to the long end, and wooden baskets tied to the short end.

Tie dozens of ropes.

Catapults are weapons of mass destruction that surpass crossbows and bows. They are the uncrowned king of the cold weapon era. Catapults were used on a large scale for the first time in the history of Chinese wars. When Li Xin attacked Chu, the Chu army used catapults to weaken the enemy.

Shengqiang defeated the 200,000 powerful Qin army in the world, and even the famous general Li Xin was defeated and committed suicide!

Seeing the catapult appearing at this moment, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops were all excited, because with this catapult, it was obvious that some of them would no longer have to be the siege team that was destined to die!

When the Wu Zhaohou army on the city tower saw this scene, the soldiers who were not afraid of heaven and earth also flashed with horror in their eyes. After all, if they were hit by those stones, their hands and feet would be broken at least, or their feet would be broken at worst.

Turned into flesh! Death is not terrible, but death is too painful, which would be terrible!

However, even though the catapults had already appeared, Yan Rou and Tian Yu were still sitting on the watchtower, unmoving, which made the Wu Zhaohou army feel a little more stable, as if they had found a backbone.

"Aren't you afraid?" Tian Yu asked with raised eyebrows.

Yan Rou smiled, picked up a white piece, and dropped it casually: "Now, you have the upper hand, but the white piece is here, can you intercept and kill me?"

"Monster!" Tian Yu took a deep breath and shook his head.

...

With Han Sui's eyesight, it was impossible not to miss Yan Rou and the others on the watchtower. When he saw that these people were not moved at all, and even seemed to be playing chess, Han Sui became furious even with his demeanor.

Blushing, he roared: "Attack the city directly!"

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!....

Boulders the size of millstones were placed into the wooden basket, and the lever began to be slowly pulled to tip over. Suddenly, dozens of people released the ropes in their hands at the same time, and black shadows flew up.

Rumble!! Rumble!!...

Huge boulders the size of millstones were violently blasted out, like meteorites falling from the sky, hitting the city wall unstoppably, causing the city tower to collapse and cracking every inch, and the stones that directly hit the city tower were holding up shields.

The soldiers of Wu Zhaohou were smashed and flew backwards, blood spurting out!

The other soldiers, protected by the soldiers holding wooden shields, kept bending their bows and shooting arrows, trying to stop the enemy from throwing boulders. However, the boulders all over the sky were constantly being thrown, which distracted the archers and made it difficult to deal with them.

The Xiliang army who was controlling the catapult caused too much damage! Only some blind cats hit the dead mouse arrows and killed a few people, but these dozens of people pulled the catapult together and killed a few people.

A drop in the bucket.

Huge boulders were almost whistling past the left and right sides of the watchtower. Yan Rou and Tian Yu were still walking around as if they had not seen each other above the watchtower.

For nearly half an hour, under the intensive bombardment of catapults, the southwest wall finally could no longer hold up and collapsed with a loud bang. In a deafening sound, a section of the southwest wall collapsed, forming a

Got it

With a wide gap, the entire Dayang City was exposed to the eyes of the Xiliang army. As the splashing rubble and mud rolled down, the soldiers of Wu Zhaohou screamed in horror and were covered under the city wall.

, buried by life.

Rumble!

It was at this time that a huge stone arrived as expected, hitting the end corner of the watchtower, shaking the watchtower. Yan Rou finally picked up a piece and randomly clicked it on the chessboard that had fallen over.

A series of scheming...

Yan Rou suddenly stood up, her face was as dark as water, and she ordered loudly: "Detach three thousand people to guard the southwest corner. No enemy can be allowed to break into the city!"

........

"kill!"

Seeing the destruction of Dayang City, generals such as Ma Chao and Ma Wan almost simultaneously drew their weapons forward and rode towards the southwest corner. Tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry violently rode through the sky and earth, and the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.

They shouted like a pack of crazy wolves, killing towards the southwest corner.

The continuous rain of arrows thrown down from the city tower could not stop the footsteps of the Xiliang Army who were eager to make contributions. The Xiliang Army headed by Ma Chao was the first to rush into the gap.

"Break the city and kill the generals! Kill, kill, kill!!"

Ma Wan and other generals under Han Sui roared and rushed into the gap. At this moment, there was a loud roar that was deafening.

Zhang Fei, whose head was still wrapped in gauze, was holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. Behind him were three thousand Wu Zhaohou's troops, ready to attack with swords and spears.

"Zhang Yide from Yan is here, stay alive!" Zhang Fei pointed the spear in his hand towards the sky and howled with red eyes.

"Go through this place! Stay alive!"

"If you want to pass here, stay..."

Zhang Fei's roar to the sky completely mobilized the morale of all the troops of Wu Zhaohou. They roared crazily one by one. In the almost hysterical roar, Zhang Fei's eight snake spears moved towards the direction with a whistling wind.

lead:

"kill!"

Zhang Fei took the lead in charging towards the Xiliang army with a giant shield in his hand. He dashed left and right with the wooden shield in his hand, knocking the Xiliang army sitting on the horse into a mess. Several Xiliang soldiers raised their spears and charged at Zhang Fei.

Flying to kill, Zhang Fei roared angrily, waved his war spear with his right hand to block the attack, and waved his wooden shield with his left hand. Amidst the continuous loud noises, the heads of each horse were directly hit and exploded, and each of the Xiliang soldiers fell off their horses.

He fell down and was trampled into piles of flesh by his own body behind him!

"Thieves, stop being so arrogant, Ma Chao is here to meet you!" Even though he was defeated several times by Zhang Fei, Ma Chao still refused to admit defeat, raised his horse and shot at Zhang Fei.

At this moment, thousands of Xiliang troops were entangled with Wu Zhaohou's troops and started fighting desperately. A cry of killing resounded throughout the southwest! But Ma Wan quietly disappeared at this moment.
