"The trebuchet is ready to launch."
With a loud roar, the brake switch on each trebuchet was pulled down, and the weight on the short arm fell rapidly.
There was a creaking and friction sound between the wood and the tightening of the hemp rope.
The sound of the sound is heard, which drives the hanging basket on the long arm to launch kerosene bombs or stone bombs.
"Swish swish" the kerosene bombs and stone bombs were thrown into the air and flew towards the distant city wall.
The stone bullets just made the sound of rubbing the air, while the kerosene bombs not only made a burning crackling sound, but the flames burning in the air were The wind whistled, leaving long lines of thick smoke at the end, and the smell of kerosene quickly spread around.
The food troops on the city wall were wondering why the Tang army hadn't launched an attack after they had been stationed for so long.
The weather was not particularly hot.
Standing under the city and enjoying the baking sun was not a pleasure.
Unexpectedly, when these big food troops were wondering, they suddenly flew out small black dots and small sparks from the Tang army's rear formation, but in the blink of an eye these small black dots and small sparks turned into huge stone bullets. and kerosene bombs.
The soldiers of the Great Food Army looked at this scene, their eyes quickly opened, their pupils tightened, and their faces showed a look of horror.
Many people couldn't help but shout: "Oh, God, hide quickly" The first round was just a test firing, but several kerosene bombs and stone bombs still landed on the city walls and city tops.
There were several loud "bang bang bang" sounds.
One of the three stone bombs hit the city wall, and two stone bombs hit the city wall.
The bullets hit the top of the city, and the entire city wall trembled and shook just where these positions were.
The soldiers of the Food Army who were responsible for the defense of these sections They couldn't even stand still, and a large group of them fell to the ground.
They were really tumbling on their backs.
The soldiers of the Food Army who fell to the ground screamed one after another.
Some of the soldiers of the Food Army who were unfortunately hit by stone bullets were no longer human-like, their brains were damaged. , blood spurted all over the floor, and the wounded soldiers who had not yet died on the spot let out blood-curdling screams.
Two kerosene bombs hit, one hit the city wall and the other fell on the city head.
Whether it landed on the city wall or the city head, the kerosene bombs immediately shattered and ignited the splashing fire.
The oil burst into flames with a bang.
These kerosene bombs contained not only kerosene, but also other flammable items.
Even if they were dropped on an open field, they would burn a large area on their own.
Some unlucky soldiers of the Food Army were splashed with burning fire oil and burned on the spot.
The raging fire engulfed them in the blink of an eye.
Since the rise of the Food Country, it has rarely been attacked by enemy forces, so the match Yide had never commanded a city defense campaign and was not familiar with or proficient in how to defend city walls.
It was the first time that the Tang Army attacked the city.
He thought that the Tang Army would launch a fierce attack, so he prepared a lot of manpower on the top of the city, causing the defensive soldiers on the city wall to be very crowded.
Didn't this bring him a very painful lesson?
The burning The Pyro Man quickly set fire to all the surrounding Dashi Army soldiers, causing chaos in this section of the city wall.
"Quick, quick, evacuate, evacuate and stop them," Said yelled, holding a machete and pushing aside the soldiers blocking the front.
If these soldiers who were on fire were not isolated, I'm afraid they would destroy the entire city wall defense.
The soldiers all lit up.
The soldiers of the Great Food Army, who were afraid that they would also be set on fire, immediately killed these burning men with weapons, or drove them off the city with spears and lances.
Just when the food army at the top of the city was in chaos because of the first test firing of the Tang Army's trebuchet, the second test firing of the Tang Army's trebuchet followed shortly after, and kerosene bombs and stone bombs once again flew towards the city.
Head, this time the accuracy has more than doubled, one stone bullet after another The kerosene bombs and kerosene bombs hit the city wall or the city head one after another, making a huge roar.
The city wall kept shaking, just like the earth was shaking.
The kerosene bombs fell on the city head and set off a raging fire.
The flags of the great food country were all set on fire.
The third wave of test fire followed my son.
The kerosene bombs dragged a long tail of black smoke and flew over the top of the city.
There was a bang, and a can of kerosene splashed around.
There was a loud bang, and the surrounding area was surrounded.
Within ten meters, the soldiers of the Food Army were shrouded in the flames of kerosene, and their whole bodies were burning.

They screamed and rolled around, and some people fell directly from the top of the city.
After three rounds of test firings, the accuracy rate of the Tang Army's trebuchets was almost more than half.
This accuracy rate caused extremely heavy casualties to the food army defending the city.
Almost more than 30% of the entire east city wall was on fire.
In the fire, the kerosene bombs launched by the Tang army not only burned themselves, but also ignited the large food army piled up in the city.
They used kerosene and wood for defense.
Under this situation, there was a long section of the city wall that could not stand on.
The soldiers of the food army who were responsible for the defense were either set on fire and burned to death, or they could not hide for fear of being burned.
From a distance, some people ran directly down the city wall, while others had no choice but to jump off the city wall and broke their legs.
Said stood on the city gate tower and stared blankly at the raging fire that was set on fire by the kerosene bombs fired by the Tang army's trebuchets.
He could not believe that there was such a doomsday scene in the world.
He had never seen it before.
He once led people to attack cities and seize territory, but none of the city walls he attacked were as tall and strong as Hengluos City.
He also used trebuchets to attack the enemy.
Fire oil bombs and stone bombs have been thrown at the defensive city wall, but they have never caused such great destructive power as today.
Not only did the city head burn with fire, but many parts of the city wall were cracked by stone bombs.
There were serious cracks in the area.
If this situation continues, Hengluosi City may not be able to defend it for three days before it will be destroyed by the Tang army.
Said's face was livid, he grabbed the collar of a general next to him and said angrily: "Didn't you say yesterday that the Tang Army was not good at attacking cities?
Now let's see if they are good at attacking cities, you son of a bitch?"
The general was so frightened that he trembled all over, "Sir Governor, I didn't know that the Tang army's catapults could cause so much damage.
They threw them too accurately.
Those kerosene bombs burned a large area when they hit the ground.
This is impossible." imagine" If the kerosene bomb is only filled with kerosene, it will not burn a large area even if it falls on the ground, because there is no flammable material.
However, if you add some small flammable substances to the kerosene in the kerosene bomb, such as small strips of cloth, Silk fabrics, charcoal, sawdust, mixed with some purified spirits and other flammable items, any drop of fire oil it splashes will burn as soon as it hits the ground.
Throughout the morning, the Tang army fired thousands of stone bombs and hundreds of kerosene bombs.
The east wall of Hengluosi City was burned black, and many of the walls collapsed due to the stone bombs.
Although it had not yet Was smashed out of the gap, but the city It is an indisputable fact that the wall was seriously damaged.
The morale of all the soldiers of the Shishi Army who were defending the city was extremely low.
The Tang army had not officially attacked the city, but only used trebuchets to reduce the morale of the Shishi Army.
The wall was damaged. serious.
In the afternoon, the Tang army continued to launch stone bombs and kerosene bombs after lunch, which made the food army dare not go up to the city wall.
Half an hour after the trebuchet launch, Zhao Ziliang observed the situation at the top of the city through the telescope and immediately The leaders of the ten surnamed tribes were summoned and asked: "Everyone, the big cannibal on top of the city has been beaten so hard by us that he no longer dares to show his head.
This is a great time to attack the city.
I don't know which leader is willing to hit this head."
"Array" The leaders of the ten surnamed tribes glanced at each other, and they all knew that this would definitely be inevitable.
Even if no one took the initiative to take over the siege task, the killing god in front of them would still call the names among them.
Someone would always have their turn.
When any of them were attacked, the major leaders stepped forward one after another and volunteered, expressing their willingness to take the lead in attacking the city.
Zhao Ziliang smiled with satisfaction and said: "Very good, the leaders of the Ten Surnamed Tribes had a battle with the Dashi Army in the wild the day before yesterday.
You don't want to participate in today's siege.
Let the soldiers have a good rest.
Tomorrow's attack The city will eventually need you."
After saying that, Zhao Ziliang looked at the first person sitting on the left and said with a smile: "King Shunyi, when I handed Hengluosi City to your Shi Kingdom, it became the city of your Shi Kingdom, and our Tang Army also Three thousand people were sent to help you guard.
If your subordinate Mo Ying hadn't secretly colluded with the cannibals, Hengluosi City would not be like this.

It was so easily occupied by the cannibals, and it caused our Tang army to lose 1,500 elites.
No matter what, it was all your Shiguo's fault, and you, the king, are also to blame.
Moreover, I, the general, and the leaders led the troops this time.
I came here to help you in the Shi Kingdom’s war.
Shouldn’t your Shi Kingdom’s army take the lead in today’s first battle?”
Axilan's face turned red, and he immediately stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "The kindness of the Tang Dynasty and the generals will never be forgotten by Mohe Chu Tutun.
Today's battle should be fought by our army from the Shi Kingdom.
How dare you bother me?"
Friendly troops, please wait and see, generals and leaders."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Okay, then I, the general and the leaders, will look at the performance of your army and pass the order.
When the stone army rushes to the bottom of the city twenty feet, they will stop firing stone bullets and kerosene bombs, and order the crossbows and ambush troops."
The far-reaching crossbow provided cover and long-range shooting support for the stone army before it arrived at the military formation."
The ordering soldier immediately agreed: "Follow the order."
King Mohechu Tutun of the Shi Kingdom immediately waved his cloak and walked out with a sword in his hand.
Soon the sound of war drums was heard.
Zhao Ziliang stood up and said to the leaders of the ten tribes: "Everyone, let's go and follow my general to the commander's platform to watch."
The Situation of the Stone Army's Attack on the City"
The Stone Kingdom itself is a country that produces good horses.
Although the number is not large, each one is a high-quality horse.
The probability of sweating a bloody horse is very high.
Therefore, the Stone Kingdom's army is basically cavalry, and they use cavalry to attack cities.
In fact, the cavalry were asked to abandon their horses and climb ladders with swords in hand to attack the city.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers of the Shi Kingdom took weapons and ran to the city wall with ladders under the leadership of the generals.
After all, they had not received infantry siege training.
The soldiers of the Shi Kingdom were in a mess when they rushed to the city wall.
Some people Some people rushed fast, some rushed slowly, and many people accidentally fell to the ground while running.
The food army hiding under the city wall finally heard the Tang army's cry to kill.
Said knew that it was the Tang army who was attacking the city.
Sure enough, he soon saw the sentry on the top of the city on guard and shouted to the city: "It's not good.
The Tang army has attacked the city.
The Tang army has attacked the city.
Many people have rushed over.
They are so densely packed."
These words made the soldiers of the Food Army under the city wall feel cold, "Hurry up to the city wall to defend, go up quickly."
The soldiers of the Food Army quickly climbed up the city wall with the generals and officers shouting and driving them away
