The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 482 The Contest of Weapons

"Catapult, attack!"

With Zhao Yun's order, hundreds of stones flew out from the top of the city tower and behind the city wall, and threw them straight at Cao Jun's catapult positions.

"Boom...!"

"Boom...!"

"ah..!!!"

In the first round of throwing, nearly ten catapults of Cao Jun were destroyed, and the results were brilliant.

"There are so many catapults in the city, it seems that Zhuowei's news is reliable."

Cao Cao was embarrassed when he saw the catapults attacking in Qinchuan City, because there were far more catapults in Qinchuan City than them, and their attack power and accuracy were higher than their catapults.

"After Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he began to prepare to attack Yizhou. This time the weapons should be used in the battle of Yizhou. As soon as they were transported to Liangzhou, the big battle started. So many weapons stayed in Liangzhou and were guarded by Zhao Yun's army. I don’t want to use it against me today.”

The world is unpredictable, these weapons were originally intended to be transported to Hanzhong, and they were used to attack Yizhou, but they were not expected to be used against Cao Cao first.

Cao Cao put [-] catapults in front of him, but there were [-] catapults and Cao Caogang in Qinchuan City, but Cao Cao had already heard the news and was mentally prepared.

"attack!!!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and one by one the Cao army's phalanx began to move forward. In the lead was a team of twenty flying bridges, which were used to cross the moat outside Qinchuan City. The flying bridges were simply four wheels, dragging The wide bridge deck, as long as it reaches the moat and steps down the bridge deck, the task is completed, and countless Cao troops can pass through the bridge deck and easily cross the moat.

"Separate some catapults and attack Cao Jun's flying bridge."

Once the flying bridge is close, the function of the moat will disappear, and the only thing that can destroy the flying bridge is the catapult. The bed crossbow and bow and arrow are not very effective. Although the flying bridge is made of wood, it is covered with a layer of iron. Hard to destroy.

Soon the catapults began to attack Cao Jun's flying bridge array. Unfortunately, the flying bridge moved so fast that the attack effect of the catapults was limited. Multiple bridges enabled the subsequent Cao army to quickly pass through the moat.

"Concentrate on attacking Cao Jun Jinglan!"

Seeing that the flying bridge had been erected, the catapults could not attack because the distance was too short, so they could only give up and set their targets on the well rail which threatened the most to the defenders.

The well fence has a square bottom and is very high. The well fence used by Cao Cao has reached the height of the Qinchuan city tower, so that the Cao Jun archers on the well fence can shoot at the defenders on the Qinchuan city wall. Once the well fence is close to the city wall, the defenders The archers on the army side lose their terrain advantage.

However, the shortcomings of Jinglan are also obvious, that is, the speed is too slow, the volume is large, and it is easy to be hit by a catapult.

The attack effect of the catapult came out very quickly, more than 40 well fences, as many as ten were quickly destroyed, and at this time the well fences were less than halfway forward.

"The infantry attacked the city, and the archers went under the city wall for reinforcements!"

"Ladder to keep up, quickly approach the city wall!"

"Shield soldiers cover Linchong Lu's bus approaching the city gate!"

The person in charge of commanding the siege was General Jin, and now Yujin's army and Cao Cao's army joined forces. Yujin's position still plays an important role among the 20 Cao troops, and he was appointed as the siege general by Cao Cao.

"kill.....!"

"Boom...!"

Cao Jun's infantry rushed to the tower with high ladders, and soon set up the high ladders and began to climb, while Cao Jun's archers also reached the bottom of the city wall, and shot arrows at the city wall under the cover of shield soldiers.

"The archers fought back, shot down the enemy, and ordered the bed crossbows to come forward and attack the Cao army's archers downstairs!"

Cao Jun did have a lot of siege weapons, and they were very good, but compared to the defensive weapons in Qinchuan City, they were much worse. Heavy weapons have always been the focus of Chen Ziming's development. Many powerful heavy weapons have been developed and improved. The defense of the city is very fierce.

Especially the application of the bed crossbow, in Liu Bei's army, it is simply an existence of divine weapon level, and almost all soldiers and horses are equipped with bed crossbows.

After being improved by several top craftsmen, the bed crossbow is not only small in size and easy to carry, but also of high quality, not easy to be damaged, and easier to repair. It is very suitable for all levels of military use.

But the power of the bed crossbow is simply outrageous. In front of the bed crossbow, the bow and arrow are like children, not at the same level at all.

"shoot!!!"

With an order, the bed crossbow pushed to the edge of the city wall was fired violently, and huge arrows were shot out, flying towards Cao Jun's bow and arrow array under the city wall.

"what...."

"Can't stop!!"

How could the shield block the bed crossbow's attack? Those giant arrows are no joke. Many Cao soldiers were shot through with shields.

"Damn it, go up the bed crossbow quickly!"

"Jing Lan speeds up!"

The power of the bed crossbow made Yu Jin frown. He couldn't suppress the bed crossbow on the city tower. It was too bad for them to attack the city. So today's siege may be yellow.

"Add another five thousand infantry to attack the city!"

Cao Cao watched from behind. After seeing the defensive weapons on the Qinchuan tower, he frowned. The casualties were too great. Up to now, the siege soldiers and horses had suffered three layers of casualties, but they did not pose any threat to the tower.

"Catapult throws fireballs, burn!"

While Cao Cao kept sending troops to Yu Jin, he also made up his mind to attack even if the city of Qinchuan was burned down. As long as Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Qinchuan city were eliminated, there would be no soldiers in Liangzhou to resist him.

"Let the strong men put out the fire quickly!"

Seeing Cao Jun's catapult throwing fireballs, Zhao Yun's face remained unchanged. This was also in their calculations, and they had long been prepared to deal with the fire attack.

"General, Cao Jun Jinglan is already close to the tower!"

After losing more than ten wells, Cao Jun's wells finally reached the attack range and began to attack the Qinchuan city wall. Countless feather arrows shot on the Qinchuan city wall and began to suppress the defenders on the city wall.

"Damn!"

Jinglan's attack was very strong. Cao Jun hid in Jinglan and shot arrows, but the defenders on the city wall had no cover and suffered a lot.

"Prepare stones and rolling logs to beat Cao Jun down!"

Seeing that Cao Jun was about to climb the city wall, Zhao Yun's face finally changed. It was only an hour later, Cao Jun's attack regardless of casualties was indeed very ferocious.

"Prepare the oil pan. As long as Cao Jun's ladder is set up, pour oil and light the fire at the same time to burn down the ladder!"

The ladder is not comparable to the high ladder for climbing the city. The ladder is not only stable and strong, but also can be climbed by multiple people side by side at the same time. It also has certain defensive capabilities. It can be said that the ladder is the most threatening weapon to the defenders.

But the ladder is made of wood, so it is afraid of fire, so oil is poured on it, and then the ladder is scrapped when it catches fire.

"General, there are too many casualties, and the archers of the cao soldiers on the well are attacking too hard!"
