Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 124 124. Break through the blockade! Contact battle!

In the city, an experienced operator was sitting on a huge turntable, moving the joystick with both hands at will.

It looks like a diesel engine on Earth. There is one on each side, which looks a lot like a bicycle, but requires manual operation.

This is the same as the control principle of anti-aircraft guns.

Jiang Chen used modern concepts to perfect the details of the trebuchet.

In other words, the design of modern buildings is derived from the design of ancient Luban.

The arms of the catapult can move freely and swing left and right, which means that the landing point can be set.

As long as the firing trigger is pressed, it will be fired.

Outside the city, the Xianbei people were panicked!

Originally it was just a big jar that landed again and again, but now it attacks at will.

The rocket soldiers on top of the city were still aiming and shooting.

Ah!

Ahhhhh!

The sounds of screams came and went.

General Xianbei killed his comrade with one sword and tried to escape.

"Their catapults can change direction."

"Keep your eyes on the top and stay away."

"rush……"

He looked at the arrow that was shot at him, and then at the commander he hated so much.

"God, the Archer!"

After saying that, he lay down.

Li Shimin handed the bow back, "You are so talkative! Shut up!"

at the same time.

On the city wall, everyone raised their long bows.

The places that didn't burn were the places where they shot.

Li Shimin's tactics used this method to compensate for damage.

Don’t all the people of Xianbei kill their own people?

Since I can't cause secondary damage, then I will use arrows to make up for the damage!

Although it cannot completely cover all enemies, it can reduce some pressure in the subsequent battle.

In an area two hundred and fifty steps wide and as long as a city wall.

The trebuchet kept throwing out kerosene cans with irregular landing points. Every time one was smashed open, a rocket soldier would light it on fire.

At the same time, the archers kept shooting repeatedly at places where there was no landing point.

In this way, it is like forming an interception zone!

If you want to break through this city, you must first break through the city's interception zone.

Although it is impossible to block it 100%, if ten people come in, they can kill five or six Xianbei people.

Looking down from the watchtower, this scene is very clear.

There is almost one person per square meter.

But when they broke out of the interception zone, there were only more than two square meters left.

However, it is not easy for them to attack the city and attack at close range.

Li Shimin was ready to fight back.

Behind the front row of shield soldiers.

The soldiers who carried a big bow on their backs, a quiver hanging on their left waist, and a Tang sword hanging on their right had already completed the test firing.

When the opponent crossed the blockade, they were only fifty steps away from the contradiction array.

There was a reason why Li Shimin asked them to set the landing point of the arrow thirty steps away from the enemy.

Fifty to thirty steps away from the enemy, there was another round of arrow rain.

Within these thirty steps, you cannot use any weapons, otherwise you may hurt your own people.

"shooting!"

Li Shimin shouted at the soldiers under the city wall, and the soldiers were ready to shoot arrows.

call out!

The arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air. "What?"

"Why is there still more?"

The Xianbei people were frightened. They were first shot by arrows and then baptized by flames.

Of the 90,000 people, only 40,000 to 50,000 passed through these two interception zones.

Now, another wave of arrows is coming?

This means another 10,000 casualties!

Of the 90,000-strong army, 50,000 to 60,000 were lost on the way, leaving only 30,000 to 40,000 capable of close combat.

And after a close battle, no one knows how many more people will die.

Also, what kind of lucky person is Cai able to climb the wall and hit the gate with his head.

No one knows what else they will encounter on the walls of this city.

Everyone was confused, why is it so difficult to survive?

Why did the Tang people have to kill Xianbei and even refused to surrender?

After a brief period of confusion, they were ignited by the desire to survive.

In order to survive, they can only rush forward!

Finally, the Xianbei soldiers broke through the blockade of the first wave of arrows and arrived 230 steps away from the city wall.

It's already thirty steps away.

This is the red line range of melee combat. In order to protect one's own people, the opponent cannot use large long-range weapons.

As for small-scale precision strikes, under such circumstances, they are not worth mentioning at all.

brush!

The soldiers in the contradiction formation stood up straight.

'Ready for war, ready for war'

"Leave it to us."

"Defend our country!"

"For our loved ones!"

"Our fight is to let our ancestor rest in peace!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

They shouted their hearts out and made up their minds to use their bodies to build a new line of defense.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on the soldiers who were not wearing Mingguang armor.

"Soldiers!"

Li Shimin wiped away his tears and bowed again: "Datang, I'll leave it to you all!"

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the spear that was leaning against the wall, and closed his eyes.

No orders, only prayers!

Everyone is strictly implementing the previous plan.

All he has to do is pray!

In the name of the emperor, I pray to God to protect the Tang Dynasty and those kind-hearted Han people.

Waiting as a general, if an enemy army attacks, he will live or die with the city!

"Guanyin Maid, I'm sorry!

"I can't keep my promise."

Just when Li Shimin closed his eyes, waiting and praying silently!

Just when he was secretly apologizing to his wife as a husband, a golden light flashed.

Qin Huaidao opened the black cloth baggage that had not been opened for thousands of years.

Holding the golden mace passed down from his family in both hands, he saluted Li Shimin and said, "Master, my subordinate is going to Zaemon.

"Go!"

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Chusi carried the Bagua Xuanhua ax that had been rushed over the past two days and said: "Master, I am also going to Youemon."

"You go too!"

At the west gate, there are Geng Gong, the chief military commander of Shanzhou Prefecture, Li Shimin, and Wu Yong, the prefect of the state.

If enemy soldiers do come up, there will be three of them.

But those two gates only have the county magistrate in peacetime, the guerrilla general in wartime, and the county magistrate, one less.

Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chusi happened to go to fill their seats, and there happened to be three masters in one gate to take charge.

If the enemy soldiers come up, it will be easier!

Li Shimin looked at the backs of the two teenagers and smiled faintly.

"Like your father, both are good."

Li Shimin walked to the edge of the wall and looked down at everything.
