Chapter 927: Day 6 of Defense at Fengtou Pass
The Rakshasa Man's attack on the fifth day cannot be said to be ineffective, but the damage caused to the soldiers of the Han army was really very few.
On the contrary, it was more of a psychological blow. After all, the rocks weighing several kilograms whirred, which put a lot of pressure on people, not to mention that the pot for boiling the golden juice was smashed.
The golden juice is flowing everywhere, which is really disgusting.
Similarly, some stones were lucky enough to hit the crenels, and the broken stones swept across quickly, causing some physical damage to the Han soldiers.
"Can our trebuchet reach it?"
There are naturally gravity trebuchets in the city. Although there are not many, they are enough. However, they have been used as trump cards and have not shown their power. Who has kept the Rakshasa barbarians from rushing to the wall?
"It's possible to find it, but it's not accurate enough, so you basically can't hit it!"
In this regard, the battalion commander could only shake his head, "Forget it, just carry it like this. Anyway, the enemy can't come in and it won't pose any threat. It's all for training!"
In this way, Rakshasa Man was bombarding the Han army all day long. As a result, not a single Han soldier was killed. On the contrary, Rakshasa Man was panting from exhaustion!
Seeing the stones thrown by the Rakshasa barbarians on the city wall, the Han army soldiers wailed, they actually wanted to clean up these things.
"Stop howling, these are just for use as projectiles for our trebuchet. Hurry up and pack them up and send them over!"
The leader's words caused the subordinates to break their legs while running, so they had no choice but to curse Rakshasa Man.
The Rakshasa barbarian knights and officers who also returned that night reported the good news to young Viscount Henrietta.
"This kind of trebuchet was so powerful that the Han army did not dare to show its head or fight back. Only the castles on the top of the mountains on both sides were attacked three times when they were attacking and three times when they were retreating."
The young Viscount Henrietta was overjoyed. He did not expect the useless Baron Bernard to be so clever. He immediately ordered Baron Bernard to be the vanguard again and start the official attack tomorrow.
On the sixth day, the Rakshasa Man once again gathered an army to prepare for the attack, but this time their army was all outside the range of the trebuchet.
Um! This is not because they are cowards, this is a tactic. After all, they are not fools.
"You need to pass quickly and pass through this section of the road in batches. Do you understand?"
All the knights and officers of the Rakshasa barbarians shouted to understand, and then according to the arranged tactics, the shield chariots, trenches and bridges opened the way, followed closely by the trebuchets and ladders, and the attacking serf soldiers, standing armies and those mercenaries who had taken more money. It is passed one team at a time according to the combat organization.
At the same time, several mercenary groups launched an attack on the castle on the top of the mountain, trying to reduce the attack on the Han army in the castle as much as possible.
Following the order, the mercenary group took the lead in climbing the mountain to attack the Han army fortress on the mountain, and then the shield vehicles and trench bridges began to cross the trebuchet blockade.
"Captain, the enemy is launching a large-scale attack!"
In the fortress, the squadron leader looked at the Rakshasa barbarians attacking them, then at the headless Rakshasa barbarian team and the large number of siege equipment behind them, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Scattershot strike, one round, no changing of throwing angle or direction!"
"Others, free to attack these attacking Rakshasa barbarians!"
"Yes!"
Following the squadron leader's order, the Han troops in the fortress began to operate the trebuchets, while the remaining people held bows and arrows and began to attack the attacking Rakshasa barbarians.
The Rakshasa who attacked this time were very stubborn. They all held simple shields or moved quickly to find bunkers. They made a lot of noise but did not fire a single arrow. Similarly, the Han army's counterattacks were also sparse, and they were all done accurately. shooting.
On the other side, the team of shield chariots and trench bridges had arrived within the range of the trebuchet, and each of them was speeding up their pace, using all their strength to pray for a quick passage.
"put!"
As the trebuchets exerted their power, more than twenty stone bombs flew quickly towards these teams. With the sound of snapping, shield carts, trenches and bridges were immediately smashed, and even the unlucky ones were hit.
"Quick, rush over!"
Such great power naturally frightens people, and each of them speeds up their pace and rushes forward desperately!
As the two teams rushed over, none of the trebuchets attacked, and Baron Bernard, who was in charge of the rear, was very happy.
"Very good, our strategy worked. The Han army in the castle was indeed held back and had only one chance to attack."
Then he ordered, "Continue the attack!"
This time, the siege ladder took the lead in attacking, and the trebuchets had to wait for the siege ladder to cross the blockade before they could continue the attack.
"put!"
Facing the siege ladders of the Rakshasa Barbarians, although many of the Han army's second attacks hit the ladders, the thicker ladders did not cause much damage, and there were even no casualties. The only interesting thing is that two ladders broke down due to their shoddy construction.
It was not until the appearance of the Rakshasa Man trebuchet that the Han army's trebuchet achieved certain results.
"what......"
As the stone bullets fell, many of the Rakshasa Man in charge of the trebuchets were injured and killed. Some even had key parts of the trebuchets damaged and had to be discarded. This put a lot of pressure on the Rakshasa Man.
"Order those mercenaries to increase their offensive intensity!"
Baron Bernard was very dissatisfied and ordered the mercenaries who attacked the Han army's fortress to increase their offensive intensity. It would be best if the Han army's trebuchets could not show their power!
"Serf soldiers, attack!"
With all the siege equipment crossing the blockade, the first batch of serf soldiers dedicated to the attack has been prepared.
When attacking this time, they not only had to hold weapons, but also carried a few stones on their backs to use as trebuchets.
"Kill!"
The shouts of the serf soldiers to kill sounded again. This time, even the serf soldiers who were injured last time, as long as they can get up, will participate in the attack.
Because this is their only chance to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
"put!"
The trebuchet was fired again, and more than twenty stone bullets were shot out again. This time, they faced mortal bodies, killing and injuring dozens of people in an instant.
It's just that these serf soldiers are all fanatical believers in their faith, and this kind of blow did not bring any kind of deterrence to them.
But when the standing army that followed faced this kind of blow, it was much more chaotic than the serf soldiers, and they all ran forward quickly.
"Interesting, these Rakshasa warriors are not as elite as the civilian...serf soldiers!"
This was Jijiu's complaint, but what he said was also true. When these elite standing armies of Rakshasa barbarians faced trebuchets, they were more afraid of death than the serf soldiers.
"boom!"
"what!"
I saw that the sacrificial wine was complaining while shooting an arrow, directly hitting a Rakshasa mercenary, causing it to roll down the hillside.
With just one arrow, these mercenaries became extremely cautious and timid in attacking.
"I really don't know what this Rakshasa is doing? It seems that he has to spend everything to get such a large number of people. What else can this do besides hindering logistics?"
Naturally not to be outdone, the squadron leader shot a mercenary with an arrow and then complained too.
The soldiers next to me were dumbfounded by this posture. Are you comparing yourself to this? In one sentence, a Rakshasa barbarian?
At the same time, the Rakshasa Man responsible for attacking Fengtou Pass was also ready. Following an order from a knight, the Haoqiao Shield Car charged quickly.
"Come on!"
