Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 655 New Cutting-Edge Weapon
The red scarf soldiers launched a fierce attack on the city of Austin. Looking down from the sky, there are red scarf soldiers waving weapons everywhere, and the whole city is like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, which may capsize at any time .

Austin's strong city wall is the only barrier for the guarding Nanchuan soldiers. Although these Nanchuan soldiers have experienced more than one battle, they still can't help but beat faster when facing the surging red scarf soldiers. After all, the red scarf soldiers are too strong. There are many, all over the mountains and plains.

The red scarf soldiers were transformed from the rebel army. Their favorite tactic is the crowd tactic. Their thousands of soldiers are enough to crush everything. Even the tall and majestic city walls cannot withstand their siege of 30 to [-] people. The advantage of their crowd tactics.

The Red Scarf Soldiers are not divided into strict divisions like the Nanchuan Army. They have cavalry and crossbowmen, as well as sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, etc., but they are all sporadic and belong to different leaders and cannot form an organizational system. arms troops.

It is precisely because of this that the Red Scarf Army's siege method is also very simple and rude, that is, to use the endless sea of ​​​​people to pile up, there is no so-called long-range strike, just rush to the city wall and crush the defenders with numbers , is enough to win.

The unfavorable siege tactics of the Red Turban Army met the Nanchuan soldiers with strict training. They were destined to smash their heads under the city of Austin. Empty, it can be said that now Austin has only weapons left besides [-] Nanchuan soldiers.

Originally, each banner battalion could only be equipped with fifteen octagonal ox crossbows, but now there are more than 500 on the city wall of Austin. It is piled up like a mountain, and it is precisely because of the large number of weapons that it gives the defenders enough confidence.

In the battle between the Nanchuan soldiers and the Hanhai army, the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Hanhai army are often envied by the Nanchuan soldiers, but now the Nanchuan soldiers will use a large number of weapons to let the Red Scarf Army realize that war is not just relying on numbers will be able to win.

"The trebuchet!"

"Free Fire!"

Following the shout of the Nanchuan officer, the hundreds of trebuchets arranged on the city wall began to roar, and there was no need to aim at them, because the red scarf soldiers were too dense.

Pieces of stones the size of millstones rose into the air, and then fell heavily into the crowd of red scarf soldiers. The shouts of more than a dozen red scarf soldiers turned into howls of misery, and some of them were caught and smashed into meat sauce. embedded deeply in the soil.

"Attack! Attack!"

The leaders waved their weapons and kept urging and shouting. Facing the continuous flow of people behind them, those scared red scarf soldiers had no choice but to move forward and were surrounded and pushed towards the city wall.

Boulders roared and fell from the sky. Faced with the heavy feeling from the sky, the red scarf soldiers could only secretly pray that they would not be hit, and ran forward with both legs. In their thoughts, as long as they were with each other Fighting together in close combat, any long-range weapon will become scrap iron.

But in the face of the Nanchuan soldiers armed to the teeth, the city wall is destined to become a Shura hell, and it will become a lingering nightmare for the red scarf soldiers.

The red scarf soldiers escaped the bombardment of the boulder and finally rushed to the place close to the city wall, but they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows. The howling spike arrows nailed them to the ground one by one, and the powerful arrows pierced through The body, leaving holes of blood.

What's even more frightening are those crossbow arrows with thick forearms. They penetrated through four or five red scarf soldiers with strong force and then fell to the ground. No reason to survive.

Faced with the condescending long-range attack from the Nanchuan soldiers, the red scarf soldiers fell to the ground in pieces, turning into cold corpses. Many subordinates of the small bosses were covered by arrow rain just after rushing up, and there were very few survivors.

Outside the east gate of Austin, a group of red scarf soldiers had just rushed under the city wall, and there was a rain of arrows head-on. In just a moment, everyone turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground. The only living red scarf soldier was stunned. Standing there frightened, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat, but soon he was pierced by a crossbow arrow and fell into a pool of blood.

"Damn!"

The red scarf soldiers had already suffered heavy losses before they rushed under the city wall, and the corpses were piled up layer by layer. Facing the roaring arrows on the city wall, the leaders of the red scarf army cursed loudly, but there was nothing they could do.

The leaders really wanted to shoot at the Nanchuan soldiers and suppress the opponent's long-range weapons, but although the red scarf soldiers had a full 30 people, there was no organized archer unit at all. In this chaotic era, the survival rate of the crossbowmen It is very low, far inferior to the sword and axe soldiers, so the Red Scarf Army did not pay as much attention to cultivating systematic arms as the Nanchuan Army.

The red scarf soldiers finally attacked under the city wall despite huge losses. Hundreds of ladders slammed against the city wall. The red scarf soldiers bravely climbed up the ladders, trying to capture Austin through close combat.

But what greeted them was hot golden juice, the stench spread in the air, and the miserable howls continued to sound, and the red scarf soldiers fell to the city one after another, and their lives were worthless.

"Rush forward! Don't retreat!"

The Red Turban Army has never encountered such a severe blow, and many Red Turban Army began to retreat, but the Northern King Wu Tiance also knew that if Austin could not be taken, the 30 Red Turban soldiers who were short of food would fall apart, so they captured Austin is bound to win.

Wu Tiance dispatched his personal guards, the evil wolf army, to suppress all the red scarf soldiers who retreated. Now the red scarf soldiers are in a dilemma, there are tigers in front and wolves in back, so they can only bite the bullet and charge upwards.

The losses of the Red Turban Soldiers continued to increase, and many combat units were wiped out. In order to deal with the Red Turban Soldiers, a full 300 million Spike Arrows were stored in the city, so the Nanchuan Soldiers can shoot unscrupulously, and they don’t have to worry about not having enough arrows. use.

"Push the arrow nest up!"

The archers are very tired from pulling the bowstring. After each archer shoots more than a dozen arrows, his arms will become weak and he needs to rest to recover his strength. At this moment, the arrow nests are in use.

The red scarf soldiers also felt that the impact of the arrows had weakened, and they also knew that the archers could not shoot for a long time, so they cheered excitedly and strode forward, but soon their nightmare came.

Dozens of arrow nests were pushed to the edge of the city wall. This is the first time that the weapons developed by Nanchuan Armory participated in actual combat. Each arrow nest can fire more than 100 arrows at one time, which is enough to fire five rounds in a row. Harvesters on the battlefield.

Sergeant Major Li Qing looked at the red scarf soldiers cheering forward under the city, a stern look flashed across his face, "Fire!"

"Buzz!" With a buzzing sound, more than 100 spiked arrows whizzed out from the arrow nests, and the arrows shone with cold light and were powerful.It directly overturned a piece of red scarf soldiers to the ground, revealing a piece of empty space.

"Hahaha, this thing is really good." Seeing that at least dozens of red scarf soldiers had been harvested in the first test shooting, Li Qing burst into laughter excitedly: "Who will send out all the arrow nests?"

The arrow nest began to harvest life, and the red scarf soldiers fell one by one. Faced with the sudden appearance of a lethal weapon, the red scarf soldiers were stunned. They had never seen such a powerful weapon.

"What is that!" Wu Tiance stood at the back, watching the arrow nest continue to harvest the lives of his subordinates, he exclaimed, but no one knew what it was, but everyone showed fear.
