Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 100 100. What happens next is up to you!

Li Shimin wanted to take a sip of water, but the soldiers below were busy with their own affairs.

The archers shot arrows as they should, formed formations as they should, and even the enemies held up their shields and advanced.

Of course, he didn't care about drinking water, and said to the observer at the top: "Report at fifty steps!"

"Four hundred and fifty steps"

"Four hundred steps..."

"Three hundred and fifty steps"

"Three hundred steps."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, now!

Similarly, Jiang Chen only gave out the effects of the equipment and the order of use in the battle outline for his plan on how to kill his opponent.

As for how to use it, when to use it, etc., it depends on the commander's own judgment.

The 60,000 Tuyuhun siege troops rushed to the front, only 300 steps away from the city wall.

This has also entered the maximum range of the catapult.

The longest range of the catapults in the city is 600 steps.

However, because the first row of catapults in the city was still a hundred steps away from the city wall.

Therefore, counting from the city wall, it is an effective range of five hundred steps!

The one hundred trebuchets were arranged backwards in sequence, forming a formation like a chess card.

Under this arrangement, between 250 and 500 steps, it has become the best fatal range for catapults in the city.

A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, and he seemed to have figured out everything.

The area formed by the length of the city wall and the width of the 250 steps is called the killing area.

How can we maximize our power without wasting any spare energy?

This must be done!

How long does it take for a catapult to cause damage from launch to landing?

And during this time, where will the enemy move?

All this depends on the commander on the field responding to the situation.

Li Shimin has calculated that the enemy can only take fifty steps at most.

This is equivalent to the world where he gave an order and then threw the rocks to the ground causing damage.

When the enemy was still three hundred steps away from the city wall, he gave the order.

If he guessed correctly, the enemy troops in front would be about 250 steps away from the city wall, and the catapults would be most effective. In addition, the "Contradictory Fire Barrier" should also be effective.

Everything is calculated.

Regardless of the lethality of the trebuchet or the distance at which the enemy was hit, Shanzhou's soldiers maintained a safe distance fifty steps away.

Just when the enemy was still three hundred steps away from the city wall, there was a sudden loud noise!

The red flag is waved!

Li Shimin shouted at the top of his lungs: "Catapult, launch it for me!"

The messenger immediately rushed up to the tower, facing the watchtower in the city.

While waving the command flag, he shouted loudly: "The general has an order, launch the catapult!"

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly had two flags in his hand and waved them to both sides.

"Archers, stop firing arrows! Prepare to light the fire."

Three thousand people quickly took out arrows from their arms. The arrows were covered with oilcloth, and then lit the brazier next to them. At the same time, huge wine jars were lifted up on the trebuchets on the city wall.

With a sharp swing of the huge throwing stick, hundreds of huge wine jars were thrown into the sky.

The trebuchets are arranged like a chessboard, wine jars are filled with stars, and a chessboard the size of a city wall and two hundred and fifty steps wide is densely placed there.

These veterans don't care so much. They only know that once they receive the order, everyone will fire all ten wine jars around them.

As soon as they fired the round, they immediately re-adjusted the weight and used the spring wheel to continue lifting the wine jar.

There is no need to command at all. Whoever installs it first will launch it. Only when all ten jars have been shot out will it be considered complete.

If there are one hundred trebuchets, then at least one thousand wine jars must be hit before it is over.

outside the city.

Hundreds of wine jars drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell from the sky. At this time, the enemy at the front had already rushed 250 steps away.

Nearly 50,000 enemies had already rushed into the killing area of ​​the trebuchet, which was as long as a city wall and 250 steps wide.

Then hundreds of huge wine jars were smashed down, and these wine jars were all the largest.

One can imagine how much liquid can be contained in one hundred wine jars.

Not to mention the amount of liquid that the thousands of wine jars that are about to be launched can hold.

Click!

Ahhhhh!

Ah!

The jar hit their shields and exploded immediately.

The fragments of the clay pot were flying everywhere like bombs.

At the same time, the yellowish liquid inside was splashing everywhere.

"This is?"

"Is it oil?"

"Is this lamp oil?"

When Li Shimin saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, and then he issued an order:

"Shoot arrows!!"

Three thousand rockets drew a beautiful arc in the sky.

boom!

More than three thousand arrows were fired from all directions. Anyone hit immediately burned.

Even if it missed, it hit the ground and ignited the lamp oil, which immediately started burning!

After the fire broke out, all the Tuyuhun soldiers panicked and ran away and stampeded on them, but the fire became more and more intense.

The leather armor on their bodies is like a natural fuel, and it is difficult to take off.

In the words of Bashu, it is "hot"!

The wine jar in the sky continued to fall down, and the lamp oil inside also continued to pour out.

After a while, the entire battlefield turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Li Shimin also looked shocked. He never expected that he could do this.

“Is this what is called death without leaving ashes?

"God is really helping me. Such a genius was born in the Tang Dynasty!"

Murong Zun suddenly lost all his strength, and he felt that his eyes were filled with smoke and a sea of ​​fire.

"retreat!"

"Jiang Chen, you are such a beast!"

Murong Zun burst into tears and his hatred reached the extreme.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen seemed to be no longer a human being at all. He could only blow his beast horn in vain and command the nearly 10,000 Tuyuhun soldiers who had not yet stepped into the fire array to retreat.

While shouting, Murong Zun himself also tried his best to escape.

None of the 50,000 Tuyuhun soldiers, as well as the six captains whose bodies were burning with flames, could escape.

But it's all a dead end anyway, so it's better to drag a few more backers.

"Brothers, let's go!..."

hum!

Li Shimin frowned as he looked at the six thousand elite soldiers who formed the "Contradictory Fire Barrier Formation" in front of him.

"The rest is up to you, hold on!"

For a moment, everyone abandoned their swords and stood up!

Everyone's eyes fell on the fire barrier two hundred steps away.

Two hundred steps is a red line. Beyond this line, the city gate will be in danger.
