Chapter 621: Fire Horse Rushes into Formation

Three rocks weighing fifty kilograms hit Qiu Chi and the army in front of Dayue Kingdom.

When the enemy troops are so dense, there is no need to adjust the projectile angle at all.

All three stones hit the crowd accurately.

One of them hit a catapult directly.

boom!

Along with a loud noise, there was a shattering sound from the catapult.

Immediately afterwards, the catapult began to shake and was about to fall apart.

"Run quickly, the catapult is going to fall apart!"

"Spread out, spread out..."

"Run away..."

The soldiers operating the catapult panicked, yelled in panic, and fled in all directions.

As they ran away, the catapult gradually began to fall apart.

In a burst of "clicking" shattering sounds, the catapult gradually fell apart and finally collapsed.

Fortunately, the soldiers who controlled the catapult were thrown away in time, and no casualties were caused.

As for the other two stones that were thrown into the crowd, only one killed one person, and the other almost didn't hit the gap between the two cavalry, shocking several cavalry around the place where the stone fell.

Seeing such results, Yunzheng from above smiled helplessly.

Just as he thought, one round of projectiles did not cause heavy casualties to the enemy.

It is indeed unrealistic to expect how many people will be killed by a trebuchet.

After all, a fifty-pound stone is actually only that big.

If you want to kill a group of people with a stone, unless you fill it with gunpowder.

However, using your own trebuchet to destroy the enemy's trebuchet has a good effect.

Also, it's nice to create some chaos among the enemy forces.

While Yunzheng was thinking secretly, the soldiers of the Beifu Army once again controlled the catapult.

"put!"

With a command, three stones flew out again.

Facing the incoming flying rocks, the already chaotic enemy army became even more confused.

There were so many people crowded together that I didn’t know where to go if I wanted to.

The projectile effect seems to be pretty good this time.

Three big stones killed two people, and a cavalryman hurriedly stood up his horse the moment the stones hit him.

Bang!

A stone weighing about fifty kilograms hit the horse hard on the head.

“咴咴……”

The war horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.

"beep……"

Just when Qiu Chi and the soldiers of Dayue Kingdom were in chaos, a low and long horn sound suddenly sounded from behind them.

This is the order to retreat.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the two countries immediately began to retreat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Beifu Army fired another round of projectiles, killing two more unlucky ones who were retreating.

The Beifu Army's trebuchet disrupted the original battle plan of Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom.

Lou Yi and Yu Tai had to order the soldiers on both sides to retreat.

However, they do not need to withdraw too far, they only need to withdraw from the attack range of the Beifu Army's trebuchets.

"General Yu, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Lou Yi frowned and asked Yu Tai's opinion.

This result was something they had not thought of before.

He had vaguely seen the piles of hay before, but he thought they were weeds hoarded by the enemy, and he was just waiting for them to use these hays to attack when they launched an attack.

Unexpectedly, under the piles of weeds was a catapult hidden by the enemy.

Nowadays, the enemy not only has catapults, but the attack range of the enemy's catapults is still higher than their catapults.

Their previous combat plan of consuming part of the enemy's effective strength through catapults obviously no longer worked.

The enemy does not need to force a surprise attack to destroy their catapults. They can just smash their catapults with catapults!

Facing Lou Yi's inquiry, Yu Tai couldn't help but start to feel worried.

How to do?

How does he know what to do?

In siege, if the large siege weapons are unreliable and the enemy cannot be induced to take the initiative to leave the city to engage in battle, what else can be done except to attack by force?

But at the moment, the enemy's soldiers and horses are not damaged at all.

Even if the enemy's strength is far inferior to theirs, and the enemy relies on this section of the city wall to block them, if they attack by force, the casualties will definitely be huge.

After a long time, Yu Tai sighed feebly and said with a sad face: "The only thing I can think of is to attack regardless of casualties. I wonder if your highness has a better way?"

Lou Yi frowned, "I do have a way, but this method can only cause some trouble for the enemy. If we want to defeat the enemy, it seems that we still have the only option to attack by force!"

"any solution?"

Yu Tai's face instantly showed a look of anticipation.

At this time, any method that can cause trouble to the enemy is a good method!

The more disorganized the enemy forces are, the greater their chances of breaking through their defenses.

Correspondingly, there will be fewer casualties!

Lou Yi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "We ordered people to collect weeds and tie them to the war horses, then poured kerosene on the weeds, then lit the weeds, and drove the war horses to attack the gaps between the enemy's walls. …”

Ok?

Listening to Lou Yi's words, Yu Tai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"good idea!"

Yu Tai put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Your Highness is very resourceful. Under such circumstances, you can think of such a clever plan to defeat the enemy. I admire you very much!"

Lou Yi smiled humbly, "This is also a last resort to make General Yu laugh."

In fact, this was not the solution he thought of.

When he was on a mission to Guifang, he heard from Guifang people that Jia Yao once defeated the defenders of Beiyuan Shoal with the method of charging with fire oxen, and Yunzheng also used the method of charging with fire horses in Muma Grassland. Deal with Gayao.

However, he would not let Yu Tai know that he learned such tricks from elsewhere.

"Your Highness is too modest!"

With the method, Yu Tai's mood improved a lot, and he immediately added: "We can also tie spears to the horses to create as much chaos as possible for the enemy!"

"What General Yu said is absolutely true!" Lou Yi nodded and smiled, "If we want to use this method to attack, we need to wait until dark. We cannot let the enemy know our strategy in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to implement it!"

"it is good!"

Yu Tai agreed, "We can push through first..."

Next, the two began to discuss specific combat details.

They would take advantage of the darkness to secretly tie weeds to the horses.

This strategy needs to be unexpected to have the greatest impact!

After the specific details were agreed upon, the depression in the two people's hearts dissipated a lot.

Although the enemy has a city wall to rely on, the enemy's city wall is not a complete city wall after all!

As long as their strategy is successful, it will definitely bring great chaos to the enemy.

When the time comes, their follow-up army will definitely have a chance to break through the enemy's defense line.

As long as they break through the enemy's first line of defense, they are in danger.

If we then rely on the first line of defense to chip away at the enemy's strength little by little, we will definitely have a great chance of defeating the enemy!

At this moment, the two seemed to have regained their confidence, with smiles on their faces again...
