The Era of Generals

"Strike!"

Following Ouyang's strict orders, the main gate of Juhe City opened again after three days.

The menacing cavalry rushed out of the city gate with a sway of the ground.

At the same time, the city was not idle, and the long-silent trebuchet began to erupt with a crazy roar. For a while, huge stones were projected into the air with the force of covering the sky and the sun, and then slammed into the air. Before the blockade.

The blockade calculated by Cheng Hong is naturally no problem, and it is not the distance that can be hit by the trebuchet on the head of Juhe City.

So this wave of slinging offensive looks extremely ferocious, but it made the enemy generals responsible for guarding this area a little bit embarrassed.

This is not the first time.

Just three days ago, there was also a surprise attack on the main gate of Ihe City. That time it was also a cavalry charge. Before the charge, in order to cover, a wave of slings was also launched.

However, it is obvious that almost only by looking at it with the naked eye, without special statistics, it can be found that this time the sling is more fierce, more fierce, and more than the last time!

The slings seemed endless. It seemed that the slings that had been stored in Ihe City during this period of time were all ready to be hit. There were waves of catapults, and there was no intention to stop.

So much so that on the side of the blockade, the sling units belonging to the Bailie Empire were all at a loss, wondering if they were going to fight back?

Now fighting back, the cavalry's momentum is fast, but after all they haven't reached the attack range, fighting now is just lonely.

But even if they reach the attack distance, do they still need to fight?

According to the opponent’s offensive estimate, soon afterwards, those slings from the top of the city will have to isolate the large area of ​​the front, which is equivalent to...

Guard Bai Lie thought for a while, and he was very uncertain that Juhe City was building another wall outside of his own city?

This belief is not unreasonable.

Although the cannonballs fired by the trebuchets are not as accurate as building bricks by bricks by themselves, they can't hold up the cannonballs!

In this broad daylight, the light was dimmed because the slings above the head were too dense. One can imagine how crazy this round of slinging offensive is.

The earth was trembling, and every cannonball fell, like a heavy hammer hitting the atrium, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The intensity of the drums even made the soldiers on the blockade step back involuntarily, which made it feel better.

Those slings that fell crazily, under their gaze, have gradually become the trend of city walls.

There is another reason for thinking so.

That is, these slings were not poured with kerosene, nor were they ignited.

Since the development of the trebuchet tactics, it is a well-known consensus that the power of the fired shells can be increased by at least 50% after being filled with fire oil and fired.

And like this time in Ihe City, it is a waste of ammunition to launch directly without igniting the sling!

Catapults suitable for trebuchets do not require too much demand, but they are not unlimited. Even if there are more reserves in Juhe City, there will always be time to finish.

Especially in the situation of being trapped all the time and unable to get out of the city, the slingshot would be hit by one and one less. It really couldn't stand such a waste.

So are they really building the wall?

But what happened to the cavalry?

Since you want to send cavalry to charge, why use slings to block the path of your cavalry?

In this way, what kind of front does the cavalry charge?

You can almost stand still on your side, waiting for the cavalry to charge to a position blocked by the sling, can they still charge?

No matter how good your equestrian skills are, you can't control your horses to run freely on this chaotic sling pavement. Even with such a master, it is impossible for the nearly 100,000 who rushed out to be such a master.

So isn't this decimating the way forward?

Bai Lie's defending army was at a loss.

They looked at the cavalry rushing forward aggressively, as if they were watching a fool, oh, watching a group of fools.

But would these cavalry be fools?

It should be said that Ouyang Li Xing who issued this order and combat policy was a fool?

This person, but in the Zhu Yan Empire has a wise general with the same evaluation as Hua Lao!

If he would do something that seems silly and pointless, it would not be him.

At this moment, Tang Feng was mixed in this group of cavalry, just like the people next to him, in a mindless charge towards the Bai Lie defenders outside the blockade.

Of course, the first thing they had to break in this charge was their massive slings.

In the eyes of Bai Lie's defenders, these slings were the first obstacle to the cavalry in Juhe City, but as far as Tang Feng was concerned, was it not a cover for him?

Because of the loss of Juhe City's action, Bai Lie's defenders did not immediately order to fight back with a catapult, even though the charge of the 100,000 cavalry had already entered their range.

The situation is really weird.

Ouyang is the guardian of Ihe City!

Of course, a large part of the soldiers felt that the cavalry in Juhe City looked like fools, but as far as the generals were concerned, of course they did not dare to make arbitrary conclusions about this.

Before they figured out the true intentions of Iajo Castle in these catapults, of course they wouldn't let their catapult troops fight back.

What if someone else really has another purpose?

Their counterattack, isn't it just to help the other side to add more bricks and tiles, can make the stone wall that looks taller and taller?

Therefore, it is not too late to make a final conclusion.

After all, the distance from Juhe City to the blockade is fixed, and the cavalry is about to rush to the front, they will always make some changes so that they can see their true intentions, and it is impossible to charge indefinitely.

With this idea in mind~www.wuxiamtl.com~Bai Lie’s defenders simply set up their own defensive formation first, and then waited. They wanted to see what this group of cavalry wanted to do.

Is it possible that this group of war horses will fly over the complex road with huge rocks on their backs?

What's more, until now, Ihe Chengtou has been firing slings continuously!

This……

wrong?

The Bai Lie guards who had made up their minds suddenly glanced at each other, and they all saw a touch of doubt in each other's eyes.

How do you feel that this sling attack is still squeezing toward their defensive camp?

impossible!

Since the cordon is here, it must have taken into account the maximum sling distance that Ihe City can hit.

So in other words, it was impossible to attack them with the trebuchet alone!
