Chapter 681 Self-defeating
"attack!"
Soldiers are valuable and quick. The [-]rd and [-]th Infantry Divisions knew each other very well and directly chose to attack quickly after receiving the order.
The speed of their march could not be said to be unsatisfactory. Twenty-five thousand troops marched to Taikou County and Fengshan County in one day, frightening the defenders in the city.
Looking at the invisible Han bandits outside the city, the commander-in-chief inside the city felt a chill rush straight to Tianling Gai.
It's over,
He wants to finish!
These armies have at least tens of thousands of troops. Although the county's city defenses have been heightened and reinforced, as the commander-in-chief, he is very aware of the difficulties involved.
In this case, if the Han thieves really launched a high-intensity attack, the county would definitely not be able to defend it.
"Quick, call for help before we are surrounded, ask the prince for help!"
At this time, the Han army came to the county seat, and at the same time it separated its troops and began to surround them, it also organized its troops to start attacking.
Accompanied by the cry of killing, the Han army directly used a battalion to charge towards the county seat.
"Quick, let everyone get on the city wall, let everyone get on the city wall."
The commander-in-chief was already frightened. He started a high-intensity battle right away. The Han thieves wanted to break the city as soon as possible!
As for why?
Have you ever seen any army wearing iron armor when attacking a city?
As for the Han army attacking the city, not to mention the number of people, the armor on their bodies was brighter than the last.
At this glance, you can tell whether it is iron armor or pierced armor.
Not only that, the armor's defensive power is not low at first glance. It is bright and bright, and you can tell that it has been carefully maintained.
So the decisive battle begins as soon as possible. What matters is the speed of the troops.
"That...that...what is that?"
The defenders pointed at a few small machines behind the Han army, not knowing exactly what they were.
This kind of equipment is strange. It's not an arrow tower, a shield chariot, or a siege ladder. It's also too far away from the city wall, so I don't know what its use is.
But the commander-in-chief is knowledgeable, and he knows exactly what it is.
"Throw... a trebuchet, a trebuchet that can throw more than 200 steps?"
"really?"
However, before he could think about whether it was true or false, the trebuchet had already proved to him whether it was true or false!
These are three gravity trebuchets with a counterweight of 170 stones. They can launch stones weighing one stone to more than 200 steps. They are extremely powerful siege tools.
It's just that this kind of trebuchet is a large trebuchet, which is troublesome to make. A division specially formed a brigade for transportation and use, and the cost is not small.
Moreover, the counterweight is as high as 170 stones, so you can only choose stones and the like nearby. This can only ensure a far throw, but cannot guarantee a certain accuracy.
But even so, this kind of trebuchet is also a powerful weapon. A stone weighing one stone is projected out. Whether it hits the city wall or within the city wall, it will cause a huge psychological deterrent to the enemy.
"Boom boom boom!"
The huge counterweight naturally makes a huge sound when launched.
So three huge stones were shot high into the sky by the trebuchet, flying towards the county seat.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The trebuchet was so powerful that none of the three stones hit the city wall. They all hit the back of the city wall, making a huge noise.
The defenders turned around and saw that all the houses that had been hit were houses that had collapsed directly.
"Gudong!"
Looking at the damage caused by the trebuchet, and then looking at the trebuchet being prepared to launch, everyone swallowed their saliva.
Even the commander-in-chief was confused and his legs were weak at this time.
Why is this trebuchet so powerful that it can be thrown so far? So powerful?
You must know that Daqian's trebuchet is only about a hundred steps long, and the stone it projects only weighs about fifteen kilograms.
And from what he could see, this stone weighed at least a hundred kilograms, right?
No, I am just a small county town. The city is not high, the pond is not deep, and there are not many people. Does your Han army need to go to war in such a big way?
Tens of thousands of troops, powerful trebuchets, as well as trench bridges, shield carts, and ladders that are getting closer and closer to the city wall can be seen with the naked eye.
You tell me what I did wrong, I will correct it.
Can't I change it? ?
Then, the huge pressure caused by the trebuchets made these defenders forget how to fight back, no matter how elite they were.
And now the Han army's offensive troops are getting closer and closer to the moat. The trench bridges at the front are ready, but they haven't reacted yet and fired arrows to fight back.
Similarly, the Han army's attack speed also slowed down, and the trebuchet was not adjusted properly so as not to hit its own people on the head.
The most important thing is that their attack is really just to scare people, and they have no intention of capturing the county seat.
They were even ready, pushing the trench bridge to the moat, waiting for the enemy to shoot a few arrows, and then pretending to be defeated and retreating.
Otherwise, how can we surround the point and call for reinforcements after we capture it?
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The trebuchet was fired again, and three huge stones shot straight into the sky, causing all the defenders on the Dagan city wall to look at the stones, their eyes following the stones, for fear of being hit by the stones.
Unfortunately, there was a stone that was obviously aimed at the city wall.
"Mom, run!"
In an instant, this part of the defenders went numb and exploded on the spot. They ran to both sides crying and shouting. Some of them jumped off the city wall when they were anxious and their heads got hot.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
There were three loud noises again, and two stones hit the city, destroying several houses, and only that one hit the city wall.
The moment the city wall was hit, there was a loud noise first, and then the defenders on the entire section of the city wall only felt the wall shaking, and there was even a gap in the place where it was hit.
Immediately afterwards, rubble and bricks flew everywhere, beating the defenders until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
Although the boulder did not hit anyone or kill anyone, the broken bricks and stones still caused a lot of injuries when they were splashed around. One unlucky guy even had his temple smashed directly by a broken brick and died on the spot.
This power frightened the Daqian defenders. The commander-in-chief ordered with trembling legs.
"Quick...quick...quick...open the city gate and surrender...surrender!!"
As a result, the [-]rd and [-]th divisions successfully captured Taikou County and Fengshan County.
In this battle, no one was killed on the Han army's side, while only one person was killed on the Daqian side.
It’s truly a big win!
It's just that they are very unhappy, because this means that they have to fight to defend the city again.
As for what to encircle and support?
what is that?
Your old profession is to defend the city, defend the city, and even ride horses to defend the city! !
So in the headquarters, a group of commanders shouted depressedly.
“It’s self-defeating, self-defeating!!!”
