When Zhang Liao returned with his troops, Qing Cang gave the order.
"Attacking vehicles and ballistae are ready, advance fifty feet" Just by advancing, the city wall was brought within the attack range.
At this time, the city assault vehicle has not been activated, so it is not equipped with Niuli yet.
As more than a hundred siege weapons advanced, the people on the city wall began to stir.
They have never seen such a siege formation.
"Look, they are preparing to attack the city."
Some people had a look of disdain on their face and a disdainful tone.
"It's just a hundred ballistae, and they also want to attack our impregnable city."
Someone else recalled: "In the early years, I once saw Changshan City being shot by five hundred ballistas and unable to break through.
A hundred city assault vehicles could not break through.
Are these people here for fun?"
Although these people are exaggerating, they are indeed much more than a hundred.
A hundred ballistas are like scratching an itch, and have no effect on the essence of the city wall, let alone siege the city.
Since it cannot be broken, then everyone is not afraid.
"Hmph, it seems so.
As long as we don't come out, they can't do anything to us."
"Sit back and wait and see what happens.
It's best if they retreat after not holding on for a few days."
One hundred ballistae still seemed a bit insufficient in number.
Looking from top to bottom, one hundred ballistae looked a bit small due to the distance.
But as the ballistae continued to advance, its size also became larger and larger.
Only then did the people on the city wall realize that the ballistae brought over by the people who were originally designated as the Chinese Legion was different.
Because they have higher mobility, and what are the two black things in front of them?
The entire ballista looks very solid and powerful.
Those two black things are springs, good things that can increase the range and power of the ballista.
The advancement of the crossbow quickly reached Hua Yuanquan's ears.
When he came out and saw that the crossbow had stopped advancing, he said: "At this distance, the damage to the city wall from the crossbow arrows is basically zero.
Because they are still They missed it and fell in the middle.
What a bunch of ignorant guys.”
His knowledge of the crossbows is still in the past, or it is based on today's technology.
If he knew that the Chinese Legion's crossbows were improved and had a qualitative improvement in power and range, then he would probably Don't dare to underestimate it.
Someone said: "Boss, if they go further, I'm afraid it's just their trick."
"Go on, if they dare to go further, use the igniting bows and arrows to shoot the ballistae."
Hua Yuanquan still didn't believe that the Chinese Legion's ballistae could hit the city wall.
After listening to this man's story, he realized that it would be different if the distance became closer, so he ordered his men to react like this.
As long as the ballista dares to go further, they will be burned.
Suddenly a hundred or so flames rose up and prepared to attack.
It seems that these ballistae have no intention of taking a step forward.
"Boss, they set the ballista on fire" Hua Yuanquan said: "I'm not afraid that they won't be able to hit them.
This distance can only be under the foot of the city.
The city is covered with dirt.
We can rest easy if they can do it on their own."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge crossbow arrow was inserted directly into a place not far from him and ignited a flame.
I was self-righteous just now, but now I'm being slapped in the face.
A large number of ballista arrows flew from the air.

These arrows seemed to have been calculated and hit the wall of the city guarding the city without any deviation.
And they are all concentrated within a distance of two hundred meters from the top of the city gate to both sides.
Obviously, Qingcang wanted to eliminate the firepower in this area so that they would not be able to affect future city-attack vehicles.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
This couldn't be possible.
It took him a while to realize the heat around him.
"Quickly put out the fire."
At the same time, he began to pay attention to this legion, or he was wrong.
This legion was powerful in its own way.
It dared to use five thousand people to attack a city that originally took 40,000 people to break.
It was obviously not Toda.
At the same time, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart.
Why were the weapons and equipment they carried so advanced?
Looking at the city rush vehicle as big as a bus, he suddenly took a breath of air.
What kind of army is this?
Too scary.
Everyone began to get busy and joined the ranks of putting out the fire.
"Boss, it's not good.
There are more and more firebolts.
Many places on the city wall are on fire.
The fire is spreading quickly.
We don't have enough manpower to put out these flames and these fires can't be extinguished with water, but they burn even more fiercely."
The arrow carried a large amount of kerosene, and it broke through the city wall as soon as it hit it.
A large amount of kerosene was poured onto the city wall, and when it was ignited, the fire quickly started.
These fires cannot be put out with water, which will only fuel the fire.
"Boss, it's not good.
We lost about a hundred people.
About thirty people were shot by arrows and a hundred people were burned to death."
In just a short time, hundreds of people were lost, and Hua Yuanquan suddenly sat down.
Obviously, such a change was beyond his expectation.
It took him a while to react.
At the same time, he had to do something.
"Come here, gather the brothers and get on the horse.
I will make them retreat in spite of the difficulties."
At last he came to a decision, and there was nothing else to do.
The fire continued to burn so hard that they had no time to put it out, so they had to deal with it at the root.
This is what Qingcang and the others are happy to see.
It is best to consume the defenders in the city.
Hua Yuanquan came out with more than 2,000 troops.
They were all cavalry.
These were rapid marches.
Obviously, they wanted to dismantle the ballistae, because their target was the ballistae.
All this is seen in the eyes of everyone in the Chinese Legion.
Qingcang had already made a prediction, and Wu Chaojing couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"The commander is really good at predicting what's going to happen.

The tough bandits guarding the city are really going to come out to dismantle the ballistae."
Qing Cang smiled and said: "These people are trying to quickly dismantle the ballista and then get back to the city."
Everyone asked: "What will the commander do next?"
Everyone is waiting for Qingcang's next order.
As the supreme commander here, he is confident.
Zhang Liao shouted, "Commander, let me go and meet him."
"Okay, you bring five hundred swords and shields, and cooperate with five hundred sickle soldiers.
Don't rush in.
Just hold on to the ballistae."
"yes" Zhang Liao received the order and ordered a thousand soldiers to go.
When using troops, special attention should be paid to the conflict between the arms.
Although the sword and shield were defeated by the cavalry, the sword and shield could provide defense for the hook soldiers and wait for opportunities to kill the enemy.
Once the cavalry was defeated If you fall off the horse, you will be greeted by a series of swords.
"Camp Commander Cao, you lead 700 knights and wait until they start fighting and cut off their retreat.
I will make sure they never come back.
Commander Zou, order the archers to prepare and seize the opportunity to kill them without leaving any trace of them."
After such a period of expansion, in addition to the same number of knights, the number of crossbowmen and archers has increased, by 500 people.
In particular, the number of spearmen has reached 1,000.
With 1,500 swords and shields, this The defense can be described as strong.
The two of them took the order and ordered their troops to leave.
Qingcang's series of arrangements may seem a bit confusing to outsiders, but in fact they have hidden secrets
