Kamapov crouched behind the battlements and paid close attention to everything that happened below the city. The enemy's attack was fierce, but it was just preliminary preparations. What followed this fierce blow was the crazy charge of the infantry. , Kamapov also understands Chu Taifeng's style. This first wave of attacks is the most violent. Once they cannot withstand this wave of attacks, I am afraid that Yunzhong Mansion may change hands. The stones and crossbow arrow statues The storm came like a storm, and the entire city wall had turned into a messy construction site. Some battlements were smashed, and the city tower was riddled with holes in this wave of attacks. Soldiers were constantly being killed. After being hit, screams arose one after another. The logistics soldiers held their leather shields high and risked their lives to carry off the injured soldiers. Although Gao Gao repeatedly suggested that Kamapov retreat first, Kamapov refused.
Glancing at the hiding cave and turret behind him, under Kamapov's suggestion, a new turret was built almost every 100 meters as a hiding place for the reserve team. The turret was divided into two floors, and the first one was as high as the city wall. The first layer is naturally filled with tactical commando soldiers, while Kamapov placed the sniper team soldiers on the second layer, so that once an emergency occurs, the functions of the sniper team soldiers can be maximized.
When this storm of blows finally came to an end, both Kamapov and Gao knew that the real contest had just begun. The huge city ramming vehicle, driven by the soldiers crowding behind it, quickly rushed towards the city wall. At this time, the crossbows and catapults on the city wall also began to exert their striking functions, and huge boulders rose into the air one after another towards the ants. Falling down among the gathered crowd, the crossbow cart continued to vibrate with the creaking of machine springs, and the crossbow arrows flew down with a harsh scream. The strong inertia and sharp crossbow blade could Let a crossbow bolt penetrate several soldiers, and pools of blood mixed with brains and bone marrow flew everywhere. Painful groans and desperate calls for help filled every part of the battlefield.
However, all this cannot stop the surging tide of Northern troops. Like layers of black waves, the soldiers rush forward quickly with their city vehicles, trying to rush through the best strike range of the defending army in this section. As long as Close to the city wall. They can fight to the death with those guys standing on the city wall with real swords and guns.
Then this ferocious offensive encountered an unexpected blow as soon as it rushed into this distance, and severe stinging pains continued to come from the soles of the feet. Like a mysterious magic line, almost all attack groups encountered this kind of blockage from under their feet when they crossed the invisible magic line. The soldiers hugged their feet and fell to the ground with screams. The speed of the city assault vehicle also slowed down immediately, and the forward offensive was suffocated.
"What's going on?" Chu Taifeng's stern eyes wandered on the faces of the staff officers and intelligence officers behind him, "What on earth is going on?"
The staff officers and intelligence officers who were holding telescopes high to observe the battle situation on the front line were a little confused. The chief of staff nervously urged the intelligence officer to contact the front line to find out what happened. At this time, the enemy's catapults and ballistae were under attack. Even within the best strike range for archers, the overwhelming forest of stone rain arrows pouring down almost covers the entire ground. Staying in this area is simply asking for death.
"Legion Commander, it doesn't seem like the attack came from the city wall. It should be that the Western Xinjiang Army set up an ambush on the ground in advance, maybe a trap or something." The chief of staff wiped the sweat from his forehead while nervously walking thousands of miles away. Mirror observed the situation.
"Trap? Dig a trap. Could it be that the people from the intelligence department and the scouts didn't notice it? If you take a look, this phenomenon appears almost everywhere. Is this all caused by traps? Why did they rush into the city? The car was not blocked or damaged?" Chu Taifeng didn't believe it was a trap at all. The intelligence department had already closely monitored the entire Yunzhong Fucheng. There is no way there is any large-scale trap set outside the city. This must be something done by the people from Xijiang!
The soldiers indeed encountered the most vicious ambush in Western Xinjiang. This was the newly developed triangular horn in Xijiang. The triangular horn was made of wrought iron. Each horn had four spikes, and the spikes were one and a half inches long. The stability is quite good when dropped on the ground. The spikes can easily pierce the soles of the military boots worn by the soldiers and penetrate directly into the soles of the feet. Moreover, these triangular spikes have been boiled with gold juice mixed with venom. They are particularly toxic and pose a great threat to running soldiers.
These triangular nails had been prepared by the Western Xinjiang Army for a long time. They were scattered along the area around the city wall the day before the battle, especially in the area that was most suitable for the attack distance of catapults and crossbows. Spreading can effectively delay the attack progress of enemy infantry. Sure enough, the unprepared Northern Army soldiers were attacked by this inconspicuous hidden weapon as soon as they entered this distance. This kind of triangular nail has three points as a supporting surface, and any side can use three spikes to form a fixed The supporting surface is the same color as the soil when it is discarded on the ground. When running at high speed, the soldiers cannot notice it at all. They can only feel it when the foot is stabbed. At this time, the soldiers almost all He had already rushed into this area, but he never slowed down to prevent his feet from being pierced by such hateful horns.
Stopping or slowing down within this range will undoubtedly provide the defender with the best attack target, and also allow the catapults, ballistas and crossbowmen on the city top to best display their lethality. Opportunities, the Northern Army soldiers who lacked effective cover had to endure being hit by arrows and rocks. On the one hand, they had to carefully observe the scattered horns on the ground. This feeling was enough to drive people crazy. The heavy city assault vehicle became more difficult once it slowed down after losing its initial acceleration. The soldiers were already baptized by the multiple dangers before they rushed to the city wall.
Kamapov looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. The effect of the triangular nails was unexpectedly good. When a large number of Northern Army soldiers had to hold their feet and fell to the ground because of foot injuries, when the Northern Army soldiers had to slow down As he cautiously searched for threats from the ground, he knew that his goal had been achieved. The cost of this kind of triangular horn is not high, but it is quite effective, especially after being mixed with gold juice and venom. Once the blood is pierced, it can quickly produce paralysis, and the injured soldier will quickly lose the ability to move. Loss of mobility in this situation is almost indistinguishable from loss of life.
Chu Taifeng angrily swung the riding whip in his hand, and the riding whip made a crisp "pop" sound in the air. This Kamapov was indeed no ordinary person. He was able to conceal this kind of thing so well at the critical moment. The spies who were already in Yunzhong Mansion didn't notice at all that he had just done this to him. But on second thought, Chu Taifeng also had to admit that if his opponent didn't have two brushes, Li Wufeng would not be bold enough to put this guy here, but this would not change the overall situation.
The soldiers with injured feet soon found that their injured feet swelled rapidly and began to ooze pus. Even if they were pressed lightly, the pain was unbearable. Many soldiers even began to moan, which also made the slowly advancing soldiers The soldiers in the encirclement became more cautious, and this result also gave the Western Xinjiang Army on the city wall more time to adjust their deployment.
Due to this unexpected interception of the triangular nails, the progress of the attacking soldiers was greatly delayed, and the consequences were tragic. Wave after wave of stone rain and arrows poured on their heads, and when they really attacked When approaching the city wall, the Western Xinjiang Army's Fire Dragon Cannon also began to unleash its power, aiming directly at the city ramming vehicles and mobile arrow towers.
Every fire dragon shell will turn into a sea of fire within a few feet of where it falls. Although the city ramming vehicles and mobile arrow towers are coated with fire-retardant paint, in the face of this kind of fire that almost covers the burning fire, the city ramming vehicle will Once the vehicles and mobile arrow towers were hit, they would almost immediately burst into flames without exception. The ramming vehicle suddenly turned into a bridge of fire. Even after advancing under the city wall, not many soldiers dared to launch an attack through this ramming vehicle surrounded by fire. The fate of the mobile arrow tower is even more tragic. Once hit, the arrow tower immediately turns into a cave of fire. The operating soldiers huddled in the arrow tower have no chance to escape. The crowded passages and the race for life, the final result They were all burned alive in the tower, and their miserable and piercing screams could drive the surrounding soldiers crazy.
When the soldiers finally had the opportunity to advance under the city wall and launch an attack, what greeted them was bucket after bucket of golden juice. The so-called golden juice is simply called gold juice after boiling urine and feces mixed with poison. This kind of golden juice is thrown and dropped. As long as it comes into contact with the clothes, it will stick to the body and become extremely toxic. The soldiers swarming in the city were so sick that they almost vomited when facing the golden juice. Even the veterans who had experienced many bloody scenes could not help but curse. Who could come up with such a nasty and vicious method
As for conventional attack techniques such as rolling logs and pounding stones, they were used to their fullest. The Northern Army under the city wall experienced what can be called the most brutal baptism, which they will never forget.
The first wave of attacks has not really started yet. The walls of Yunzhong Mansion are already covered with corpses and rivers of blood. The smelly and greasy golden juice is flowing everywhere on the city walls. The soldiers hold back the tension in their hearts and continue to charge into the city that will be destroyed. The cart was pushed under the city wall and connected to the city wall, and simple movable ladders began to be erected around them, using hooks to firmly hook the crenellations of the city wall in preparation for the final attack.
