pat.

After going back and forth and killing countless soldiers, the first thick plank finally reached the west bank of the Luzuo River.

Woohoo.

The Japanese pirate soldiers cheered and jumped over the backs of the bridge-building brothers.

Carrying large and small shields, they rushed toward the river like ants moving like crazy.

put! ! !

Sure enough, countless roars sounded from this side of the river.

Shhhhhh.

The large and small arrows almost solidified into a ball, and they were shot densely towards the newly built bridge.

Doo doo doo.

The crisp sound of an arrow being struck sounded like rain hitting the banana trees.

Ordinary arrows were blocked one by one by the shield, and the Japanese pirate soldiers hiding behind were unscathed.

Plop, plop.

There are not many heavy crossbow arrows, but they can easily tear through the shield's defense and pierce the enemy's body fiercely. Even one arrow can skewer several Japanese pirate soldiers into skewers.

Without the shield, in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere on the bridge.

Countless Japanese pirate soldiers plopped down in the river like dumplings, and were swept away by the rushing river without a trace in a blink of an eye.

But no matter what, a large number of soldiers still crossed the Luzuo River and threw themselves murderously into the trench dug by Lin Hanmo in advance.

Soon, the clanging sound of weapons could be heard on the west bank of the river.

----

"Congratulations, General. Congratulations, General, we have crossed the river!"

Tsukamoto Taro nodded and let out a long breath, his face full of joy.

However, the little military advisor's voice didn't wait for it to fall.

The night sky ahead shone brightly, and the red reflection made people panic.

"Do it!" A Japanese pirate general said angrily, "Yun Chui Ren's trebuchet."

"Everyone, don't panic and stay away."

Boom boom boom.

The stones were filled with flames and fell overwhelmingly.

Ahhh.

There were screams everywhere.

The trebuchet blows came and went quickly.

Soon the sky became dark again.

By the flickering light of the fire, the Japanese frontline generals looked around and were immediately heartbroken.

There are still soldiers on my bridge.

The overwhelming stones fell down, and not only the newly repaired wooden bridge was instantly reduced to nothing.

Even a large number of Japanese pirate soldiers who gathered on the east bank of the river to cross the river were collectively knocked over because they could not find a place to hide.

There were countless casualties for a time.

But the general reacted quickly, and jumped out of the temporary barrier beneath him regardless of his sadness and anger.

"Quick! Everyone take action and rebuild the bridge."

Otherwise, brothers who cross the river will become water without roots. No matter how brave they are, they will be eaten up by the Yunchui people sooner or later.

"Yes!"

It took a while before a sporadic sound could be heard.

Despite repeated urging from the vanguard, the Japanese pirate soldiers changed from their normal behavior.

They no longer moved forward bravely, but walked timidly one by one while looking up at the sky, for fear of another stone falling from the sky...

It was already dark, so Tsukamoto Taro in the rear could not see clearly.

But after all, he has experienced many battles and can guess what happened ahead even with his eyes closed.

But Tsukamoto Taro was not surprised.

The trebuchet just now was indeed scary, but it was just Lin Hanmo struggling to his death. As for fighting, there is no such thing as death.

As long as they attack once, they can attack two or three times.

Then it will be seen how many lives Lin Hanmo has left to resist.

"Come here, send the order down, repair the bridge, and continue the attack."

After hesitating for a moment, Tsukamoto Taro added.

"After crossing the river, seize the trebuchet position first, and be careful not to harm the lives of the trebuchet crew members. I will keep them useful."

"Yes!"

"General," a military advisor came over, "are you planning to seize the trebuchet on the other side and transport it to Huayang City?"

"That's right!" Tsukamoto Taro nodded slightly in approval.

The little military advisor laughed and couldn't help but look back towards Dinghai Pier.

After penetrating the central army, they naturally accepted the trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the high ground on the left and right wings.

However, Lu Fuhai was already on the way to Dinghai Pier with the main force of the East China Sea Barrier, so Ishikawa Taki did not allow them to dismantle those weapons.

Therefore, there are trebuchets here in the Western Route Army, but the number is not large and can almost be ignored.

"The rock-repulsing unit on the opposite side is amazing," Tsukamoto Taro said with emotion. "They are definitely the masters of Lin Hanmo and even the entire Central Army Corps."

"It will be most suitable to use them to attack Huayang City in the future."

The young military advisor was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Generally speaking, trebuchets are powerful and have a wide range of strikes.

But most of them rely on a large number of salvos to knock back or scare the enemy.

However, although the stones thrown out by the trebuchet just now were numerous, they were almost gathered into one point and accurately hit the newly repaired bridge and the soldiers on the bridge.

Let alone Tsukamoto Taro and others, there are probably only a handful of such rock-trebuchet units if you look at Uuchi.

If they can be captured, it will be a big help whether it is future siege battles or training of new soldiers.

Lu Zuo Academy, back mountain.

"Have you seen everything clearly?" A rough voice sounded, "Aim up, down, left and right, just like this. At the same time, pay attention to the wind direction, wind speed, temperature and humidity, and then make fine adjustments to ensure that you are pointing at the Japanese pirates who are beating and smashing them like crazy. Doubt life.”

"Yes, yes, yes." Hao Youduo nodded repeatedly.

"Have you seen Xu Qianchang's demonstration clearly?" He straightened up and stared at his subordinates who had gathered to study. "When you see it clearly, go back to work and practice more."

"Don't worry about wasting ammunition, General Lin said, we have plenty of ammunition."

"But Qian Chang," the soldier from the fifth battalion of Youjian couldn't help but hesitate, "Where's the front line?"

They are a rock-throwing unit, one of the few places where they can suppress the enemy across the river on a large scale and remotely.

If they, novices in trebuchets, were repeatedly asked to practice aiming, the pressure on the front line would be great.

The other soldiers nodded.

"Chief Qian, we are an archery camp, full-time bowmen and slaves. Although we have practiced using trebuchet units before, compared with our brothers in the East China Sea Barrier, we are just playing with a big ax in front of Luban's gate..."

"Why don't we let the brothers at the East China Sea Barrier launch a few more times to defeat the Japanese pirates?"

"You guys," Hao Youduo was speechless.

He laughed and clapped the first soldier who asked the question.

"It's the generals' business to dispatch troops and generals. Just obey the orders. Why bother worrying about it?"

However, Hao Youduo forgot that all of them were injured. With this slap, both of them were so painful that their teeth and mouths were torn apart.

"News from the front line has come back. Just now, Xu Qianchang and the brothers at the East China Sea Barrier were hit with fireballs and stones. The bridge that the Japanese pirates finally built with great difficulty was broken again. At the same time, they also killed countless Japanese pirate soldiers who were preparing to cross the river."

"Without that broken bridge, are you still worried that the brothers in front won't be able to deal with the grasshoppers that cross the river?"

"I see."

"Great."

A group of soldiers from the Fifth Arrow Battalion were immediately happy.

"What's the fuss about?" Hao Youduo said with a dark face, "Why don't you hurry back and practice aiming?"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded cheerfully and quickly ran towards their posts. (End of chapter)
