Chapter 40 Strong Defense
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Eighty-one field cannons, thirty-six siege cannons, and twenty-seven city-defying cannons all roared at their targets with the power of scientific and technological civilization!
A dark solid shell was fired from the chamber of a siege artillery and flew over a long distance. By the time it landed at the destination, it had already become red and hot!
"Ba~"
The shell had an iron shield at the landing point. With the residue of the shield splashing, the shield-holding soldiers behind him also became fragmented.
Then there was a catapult behind the shield-holding soldier. In an instant, he had an intimate contact with the shells and was impacted by the kinetic energy it carried scattered.
Finally, the shell smashed several more soldiers and lost its kinetic energy and was embedded in the chest of a soldier flying backwards!
The fragments and parts that scattered the catapult made the soldiers guarding it suffer great danger - they were not injured or damaged!
A flowering shell, driven by gunpowder, crossed a short distance and fell into the dense crowd. After smashing a soldier's head, it rolled to the ground.
A soldier holding a spear suddenly became stunned by the unfolded head in front of him. The soldier with a red face was hunched down and looked at the round "murder weapon" with blue smoke. The soldier's feeling told him that something was wrong with the smoked black ball.
The soldier's pupils suddenly tightened, and his heart seemed to be held by something, making him forget to breathe.
"Boom~!"
In an instant, the soldier and several comrades around him flew into the sky in a gust of white light.
In the soldier's last bit of consciousness, he felt his body become light and lose weight. The picture in front of him also turned quickly. In a moment, he saw a familiar scene, and what was left was eternal darkness!
The soldier didn't know, nor could he know, his body was broken into pieces, his head was blown away dozens of meters away, and landed at the feet of a soldier holding a battle axe. Finally, he was kicked and trampled everywhere in the surging crowd, until he was deeply stepped onto the road, integrated with the earth, and did not distinguish between each other!
Standing on the city wall, you can clearly see that the enemy's army formation was divided into two parts by dense artillery. One part was the soldiers behind the artillery fire. Seeing the blazing flame curtain wall in front of him, he did not dare to go forward, but under the push of the soldiers behind him, he had to be pushed into the sea of fire step by step, and extinguished the fire wall with rolling black smoke at the cost of his flesh and blood!
The other part is the soldiers rushing in front. Listening to the movement behind him, the momentum of charging forward became even more crazy. Some soldiers twisted their necks and turned back were even more frightened by the sea of fire behind him.
Di Qing looked at the enemy who was less than 500 meters away. He could even see the crazy and desperate look on the faces of the enemy soldiers from the monocular.
Because they are enemies, there is no mercy or pity, and in Di Qing's eyes, there is only the coldness in his heart!
"Put the rolling stones!"
So he issued an order to let the enemy go to hell!
A row of thirty stone balls were pushed down from the city wall. The height of more than ten meters above the ground gave these stone balls enough kinetic energy, and then quickly rolled down below the slope with the preset slide grooves.
"The rolling stone is here~, hide quickly~!" A soldier standing on the front line, holding a shield, looked at the rolling stones. The unstoppable momentum of Mount Tai was overwhelming, which made him scream in screaming.
But he is surrounded by his own people. Even if he wants to hide, where can he hide?
A stone ball with a diameter of one meter cannot jump so high, so it dodges to the side, but the comrades next to it are also dodging.
With no way to hide, the soldier with a shield could only watch the rolling stone get closer and closer to him, closing his eyes and waiting to die, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any pain, and only heard the despair cry from behind him.
When I opened my eyes, it turned out that the rolling stone jumped up in front of him, crossed his head, and had a negative contact with the head of the comrades behind him - they all turned into meat paste!
He turned his head to look at the miserable scene behind him, feeling glad, but he saw his comrade-in-arms who had good luck behind him looking behind him, without any gratitude, only a face full of despair.
"Dong~!" The glad soldier was crushed into the ground in an instant, turning into a pool of vague flesh and blood, leaving only a piece of rag, and a shield that turned into half and was carved into the ground!
Fortunately, the rolling stones are not big, so there is still a rough figure for these soldiers who crushed to death. If it is a huge rock with a diameter of several meters, I am afraid that I can't even recognize the head.
There is a reason why the rolling stones on the Tianqianguan city wall are set to a diameter of one meter. It is not that there are larger rolling stones, but there is no need.
Because although larger rolling stones can cause greater damage to the enemy, the city wall is only so wide and has such a high span, but it cannot be transported. These super-large giant stones are placed.
So such a large rolling stone is enough. And the quality is not good, it can be compensated by quantity!
One-meter-sized stone balls are much more convenient to transport. Therefore, Di Qing asked the soldiers on the city wall to release the rolling stones hard without fear of consumption. At the later stage, even if there are the remaining rolling stones, it will be useless!
Because when the Ant Attack attacked the city, the corpses that had been covered with long ago could not roll even if there were rolling stones left. Not only could they kill a few people, they might not have built up a stairs for the enemy to climb up.
So now the rolling stones on the city wall are pressing towards the enemy's eyes one by one, one after another!
It can be seen from the naked eye that the enemy is immediately cleared wherever the rolling stone passes, but in front of the crowded crowd, this little force becomes light and useless, and the forward line continues to approach.
The artillery in the middle is just a splashing wave in front of the sea-like crowd, fleeting! Even if a small piece of enemy troops is cleared, it will be filled with soldiers behind in a blink of an eye!
Although part of the trenchers in the distance were destroyed, there were more left, and there were still a steady stream of trenchers to replenish them, one after another, as if endless!
The enemy army formation was swarming, and even if a soldier in front fell to the ground with injuries, he had no chance to stand up again, because he had been trampled to death by his own people.
Seeing all this, Di Qing's pressure instantly became even greater, but he could not show any concerns because he was the commander-in-chief of the entire army!
"Order! The long-distance infantry begins to defend!"
"Order! Melee infantry ready to throw thunder!"
