C401 Enter and Exit
C401 Enter and Exit
On the sixth day of the camp, Qin Country launched its first attack!
A group of heavy-armored shield-bearers stood at the front, surrounded by huge hammers that charged at the city.
It was a huge round wood, and in front of it was a metal hammer.
Behind it was a group of cavalry, as well as tens of thousands of infantry.
Tuoba Hong saw this battle formation.
He laughed loudly.
Had Old Devil Xiao not fought in a long time?
If this was in the City-State, it would be easy to understand, but this was the border city!
The city gates of the city walls were incomparably firm. Even if one charged into the city gates in front of them, it would only be a female wall. There was still an inner city inside.
If an army charged in directly, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar. They would not even know how they died.
To put it bluntly, Old Devil Xiao's formation was to let the heavy armored soldiers withstand the rain of arrows.
After that, he would charge at the city gate and try to smash it open.
This was completely a matter of human lives!
If the bow and crossbow was shot down, no matter how tight the defense was, it could kill people. If they stayed down there for even a second longer, countless more people would die.
Furthermore, the matter of smashing the door with the hammer was completely dependent on the strength and coordination of the warriors. Usually, they would not be able to open the door even after seventeen or eighteen strikes. Every time they smashed the door, they would have to retreat a bit before charging forward crazily.
Just this process alone would cause countless people to die.
And this city gate was so easily smashed open?
If it could be smashed open so easily, what was the point of building this city gate?
This was the border, so the city gate was a little heavier.
Even if they took ten thousand steps back, the other side had really smashed it open.
But so what?
The inner city was not something they could charge through.
At that time, three archers would shoot at the same time, and those who went in would all die!
Overall, just by looking at their formation, Tuoba Hong was sure that he would win!
He directly let the bow and crossbow Hand get into position.
Then, he looked at them coldly.
It was as if he had already seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood below the city!
Hmph!
This was all Qin Country's fault.
He came here to show off like a madman.
Wasn't this just courting death? How could he blame someone else?
And then...
The war began!
The bow and crossbow Hand was extremely experienced.
When the heavy armored soldiers of Qin Country had advanced to around 500 steps...
A rain of arrows rained down crazily!
The entire sky seemed to have turned black.
It was densely packed, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Everyone imagined that in the next moment, countless people would die here.
But in reality...
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crisp sounds continued!
Those heavily armored soldiers raised their long shields.
They actually blocked the rain of arrows!
What was even worse was that most of the arrows had already pierced through the shields and were shot onto those heavily armored soldiers.
But...
The arrows were actually blocked and bounced off!
This... What was going on?!
What armor is that? !
Tuoba Hong was dumbfounded!
This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a situation.
This bow and crossbow... What else could it be used for?
Compared to the opponent's heavy armor, what use was there?!
The corners of his eyes twitched violently.
He could only hope that the hammer would not cause too much damage to the city gate.
At this moment, he was already beginning to regret.
Why did he not arrange an army in the inner city?
As long as the other party charged over, they could charge out and hold on for a period of time!
It's fine, it's fine...
He kept muttering in his heart.
It was confirmation and also anticipation.
But in the next moment...
Boom!
The city gate was not smashed open.
However, a hole was created!
Wood splinters flew everywhere.
"What is that thing? "
Tuoba Hong shouted in shock.
He felt it was unbelievable and angry at the same time!
Why didn't he know about these things?
What was the matter with the intelligence network in the North Wei?
How could he not hear such important news? !
Tuoba Hong was about to go crazy.
The fact that a general would reveal his emotions like this proved that he was on the verge of breaking down.
And then...
Boom!
Another sound!
Then...
Boom!
Another sound was heard.
The fourth time.
It turned into a bang!
The door... was forcefully chiseled!
Heavy armored soldiers poured in crazily.
The inner city was instantly filled to the brim.
They immediately raised the long shields in their hands to form a steel floor.
When the arrows hit it, there was no effect at all.
But without the general's order, they didn't dare to stop.
Until... they shot all the arrows in their hands.
Arrows in a city were not unlimited.
One. There were not many people who could carry them.
Someone had to transport them from the rear.
However, after a long period of shooting, the person who transported them couldn't hold on at all.
The speed of the arrow decreased.
Those bow and crossbow practitioners were also about to go crazy.
They naturally knew that their attacks had no effect at all.
They looked down at those fellows below as if they were looking at a god!
How could they not be afraid?
Then, the cavalry charged over!
Taking advantage of the decrease in the rain of arrows, the cavalry charged straight into the inner city and circled around the inner city.
Then, they left, they left!
Of course, before they left, they used a small catapult to throw a stone weighing more than ten kilograms onto the city wall.
It was just that the accuracy was a bit off.
Very few people were killed.
And then he left.
The heavily armored soldiers also left.
Even the inner city gates were right in front of them. They might be able to solve the problem with a few swings of the hammer, but they did not continue to attack!
This made everyone feel very strange.
It was as if he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, preparing to receive that punch to his stomach, but in the end, the other party only lightly touched his face.
Everyone was stunned.
Including Tuoba Hong.
In his knowledge, Old Devil Xiao was not someone who would give up easily. He was not someone who would leave after gaining an advantage.
He would eat everything he had, sink your illness, and take your life. He would torture you until you died!
You hoped that he would make a mistake and make a mistake, but you would not be able to do it until you die.
How can the name of the old devil be called for nothing?
So he was already prepared to fight in the streets of the city, to fight to the death.
But the other party left just like that.
It made no sense at all.
"This... What's going on?"
He asked.
However, he didn't know that the deputy generals around him also wanted to ask him the same question.
However, he was careful about the catapults in his hands.
He seemed to have seen that thing somewhere before.
He carefully thought about it before recalling it.
In the past, there was a nomadic tribe in the north. When they were hunting and fighting, they would use a piece of cloth to match a rock. Under crazy rotation, when a corner of the cloth was released at the right time, the rock would fly out at an extremely fast speed.
Among them, experts could kill people within dozens of steps.
It was a very good blunt weapon.
It was used by the cavalry just now.
It was something similar.
However, it was much bigger than the nomadic tribes, and there were some metals and leather that were obviously more professional.
The stones they threw out were also bigger.
However, when they first saw the nomadic tribes' skills, the biggest feeling they had was that they were very accurate.
These people's accuracy was far too inferior.
Since they were not accurate, then what was the point of making it so heavy?
Even if it was a thousand pounds of strength, wouldn't it be meaningless if it couldn't hit a person?
He couldn't understand.
But that night.
He understood their intentions.
They were so angry that they stomped their feet!
He even pointed at the outskirts of the city and cursed!
Those stones were not meant to hit people.
They were used to smash things!
Many of the houses in this city were even built with wood.
It was not that solid.
The stone was heavy. When it touched those houses, it would directly pierce through the walls!
The thing that worried people the most was the roof.
The roof of the North Wei was made of tiles.
With such a smash, it was like a rain of stones falling from the sky.
It directly broke through the roof.
It was winter now, and it was the coldest season of winter.
With such a big hole in the house and the howling winter wind blowing, who could bear it?
Many of them were barracks, and some were houses for commoners.
After all, they were in Fringe City.
The place was small to begin with.
All the houses were next to each other.
None of the stones that were thrown out were wasted!
This time, the civilians were not going to do it.
The temple exploded.
They requested the military to help build the house.
But there were so many houses, and they had to defend the city at the same time.
How could he build it?
It was a decree.
The people could only rely on themselves.
But how many of them knew how to build houses?
They barely managed to close the hole.
But it did not have any good effects.
There was no limit to how much wind there was in a hole as big as a needle!
In just one night, those people were already freezing to death.
