Chapter 680 Infinite Throwing Stones
"Attack!"
Following Ouyang's order, the main gate of Juhe City opened again after three days.
The menacing cavalry troops rushed out of the city gate with the momentum of shaking the ground.
At the same time, the top of the city was not idle, and the trebuchet, which had been silent for a long time, began to roar wildly. For a while, huge stones were projected into the air with the momentum of covering the sky, and then smashed hard on the ground. Before the blockade.
The blockade line calculated by Cheng Hong is naturally no problem, it is not the distance that can be hit by the trebuchet on the top of Ihe Castle.
So this wave of stone-throwing attacks looked ferocious, but it made the enemy generals in charge of guarding this area a little confused.
This is not the first time.
Just three days ago, there was a surprise attack at the main gate of Juhe City. That time it was also a cavalry charge, and before the charge, a wave of stone-throwing attacks was launched as a cover.
But obviously, almost by looking with the naked eye, without having to make special statistics, it can be found that the stone-throwing attack this time is more fierce, fiercer, and more than the last one!
The throwing stones seemed to be endless, and it seemed that all the throwing stones stored in Juhe City for a long time were ready to be shot. The ejection came one after another, and there was no intention of stopping.
So much so that on the side of the blockade, the stone-throwing troops belonging to the Bailie Empire were at a loss, wondering if they were going to fight back?
Now to fight back, although the cavalry's charge was fast, they did not reach within the attack distance. Fighting now is just a lonely fight.
But even if they reached the attack distance, do they still need to fight?
According to the opponent's offensive estimate, it won't be long before those hurling stones hurled wildly from the top of the city will have to isolate the large frontal area, which is equivalent to...
Guard General Bai Lie thought for a while, and felt very uncertain that Juhe City was building another city wall outside his own city?
This view is not unreasonable.
Although it is impossible for the shells shot by the trebuchet to be as accurate as building them brick by brick, they can't hold up too many shells!
In broad daylight, the light was dimmed due to the dense slingshots overhead. One could imagine how crazy this round of slingshots was.
The ground was trembling, and every shell that fell was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
And the drumbeats were so dense that the soldiers on the blockade even took a few steps back involuntarily, which made them feel better.
Under their watchful eyes, those catapults falling wildly have gradually become like a city wall.
There is another reason why I think so.
That is, these catapults were not poured with fuel, nor were they ignited.
With the development of trebuchet tactics so far, it is a well-known consensus that filling the fired shells with kerosene and then firing them can increase the power by at least 50%.
And as Juhecheng did this time, firing directly without igniting the catapult is simply a waste of ammunition!
The catapults that are suitable for catapult launching do not require too much demand, but they are not unlimited. No matter how many reserves there are in Ihe City, there will always be a time when they are finished.
Especially in this situation of being trapped all the time and unable to get out of the city, the catapults and shells are one less than one hit, which really can't stand such a waste.
So are they really serious about building walls?
But what about those cavalry?
Since the cavalry is going to charge, why use stones to block the way of the cavalry?
In this way, what kind of front do the cavalry charge?
My side can almost stand still, waiting for the cavalry to charge to the position blocked by the throwing stones, can they still charge?
No matter how good your equestrian skills are, you can't control your horse to run freely on this chaotic catapulting road. Even if there is such a master, it is impossible for nearly 100,000 people who rush out to be such a master.
So isn't this a dead end?
Bailie's defenders were at a loss.
They looked at the cavalrymen who were still charging forward like they were looking at a fool, oh, a group of fools.
But could these cavalry be fools?
It should be said that Ouyang Lixing, who issued this order and the combat policy, would be a fool?
This person is a wise general who has the same evaluation as Hua Lao in Zhu Yan Empire!
If he would do such a silly and aimless thing, then it would not be him.
At this moment, Tang Feng was among the group of cavalrymen, and like the people around him, he was mindlessly charging towards the Bailie defenders outside the blockade.
Of course, the first thing they want to break through in this charge is the large number of stones thrown by their own side.
From the perspective of Bailie's defenders, these stone throws were the first obstacle to stop the cavalry from Juhe City, but to Tang Feng, they were not a cover for him?
Because of the bewilderment of Juhecheng's action, Bailie's defenders did not immediately order to fight back with catapults, even though the charge of the 100,000 cavalry had already entered their range.
The situation is really weird.
The guard of Juhe City is Ouyang Lixing!
It is true that a large number of soldiers thought that the cavalry in Juhe City were fools, but as far as the generals were concerned, they did not dare to draw conclusions arbitrarily.
Before they figured out the real intention of Juhecheng to shoot these catapults, of course they would not let their catapult troops fight back.
What if someone else really has another purpose?
Isn't their counterattack just helping the opponent to add bricks and tiles, making the stone wall that seems to be piled up higher and higher?
Therefore, it is not too late to see clearly before making a conclusion.
After all, the distance from Ihe Castle to the blockade line is fixed, and those cavalry are about to rush forward, and they will always have some changes to let their side see their true intentions, and it is impossible to charge forever without limit.
Holding on to this idea, Bai Lie's guards decided to arrange their own defensive formation first, and then just waited. They wanted to see what this group of cavalry wanted to do.
Is it possible that this group of war horses will fly across the complex road with huge boulders?
What's more, until now, the head of Ihe Castle is still firing stones continuously!
this……
wrong?
The determined guards of Bai Lie suddenly looked at each other, and each of them saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
Why does it feel like this stone-throwing attack is still pressing against the defensive camp on their side?
impossible!
Since the blockade line was laid here, it must have taken into account the maximum stone-throwing distance that Ihe Castle can hit.
So that is to say, it is extremely difficult to attack them with the catapult alone!
