People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 421 Parabolic method, kill the head of the enemy with bombardment
A pot of extremely scalding hot water was poured directly from the top of the city.

A gray soldier in the city was caught off guard, and was directly poured on his face, causing blisters on his face, covering his eyes and crying in pain.

A sharp black arrow was thrown down from mid-air, piercing his throat in an instant.

While the blood splattered, it also helped him end the pain.

Li Xuan stood behind the city wall with her fingers hanging down.

No one noticed that one of the arrows in the quiver beside him was missing.

With a slight tap of Li Xuan's toe, he had already kicked a piece of wood under the parapet.

Without even thinking about it, the soldiers on one side picked up the wood with all their strength, and threw it down hard.

With the horny wood, he knocked down a Tianyin believer who was pushing the battering ram to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, his head was covered in blood.

However, before he could stand up, a Tianyin cultist behind him had already stepped on his chest, and continued to push the battering ram to hit the city gate forcefully.

On both sides of the battering ram, four ladders were placed directly on the city wall.

One after another, the Tianyin believers were like ants, crazily climbing towards the city wall.

One arrow after another was shot directly from the city wall, piercing the necks of one Tianyin believer after another in a blink of an eye.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another, hitting more corpses on the ground.

Behind them, more people rushed forward frantically.

The Wuzhou soldiers on the city wall pushed the ladder away from the city wall again and again, but soon someone put it up again.

Bows and arrows, wood, scalding hot water, except for golden juice, the Wuzhou army has used almost all means now.

There are at least 200 Tianyin believers who fell under the city wall, but there are still countless soldiers rushing towards the city wall madly and fearlessly.

Death and blood could not even make them frown.

"Dong dong dong..." One sound after another, the huge battering ram hit the city gate again and again.

The city gate kept shaking, as if it would be knocked open the next moment.

Li Xuan stood at the back of the city wall, calmly feeling all the movements on and off the city wall.

The fingers moved slightly from time to time, and each time, an arrow disappeared from the quiver, and immediately someone's throat was pierced under the city.

Standing behind Li Xuan, Li Zhu put the new quiver beside Li Xuan and took away the old quiver silently.

Everything is as skilled as playing a game.

Suddenly feeling something, Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and subconsciously looked towards the southeast.

Muttering, he said in his mouth: "The wind is starting to get strong."

After saying a word, Li Xuan strode forward, stood directly on the crenel, and looked down.

Under the city gate, there are densely packed human heads.

Luo Yongjie had already dispatched all the people under his command who could be dispatched, and stormed the city gate frantically.

For a while, the city gate was crumbling.

Luo Yongjie in the rear stared even more nervously, as if the city gate would be knocked open in the next moment.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Luo Yongjie in the dense forest in the distance.

At this time, Luo Yongjie had unconsciously stood in front of the dense forest that Li Xuan deliberately set aside.

The moment Li Xuan looked at Luo Yongjie, Luo Yongjie also noticed Li Xuan's gaze.

The moment he raised his head, the longbow on his back appeared in his hand in a blink of an eye. Without hesitation, he drew the bow and set up an arrow, aiming at Li Xuan and shooting towards him.

The sharp arrow kept spinning in mid-air, but in the blink of an eye, it had already reached Li Xuan's eyes.

Two fingers as white as jade suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the sharp arrow that rushed forward seemed to be suddenly strangled by someone's throat, and stopped in mid-air.

Afterwards, Li Xuan threw the sharp arrow downward, and in an instant, the sharp arrow had pierced the throat of a Tianyin Sect member.

Blood splattered.

Turning around, Li Xuan had already walked quickly to the back, walking down the steps to the city gate.

Standing on the steps, he could clearly see that eight trebuchets were lined up in the middle of the urn city, aiming at the city gate in front of him.

Next to each trebuchet, several old soldiers were preparing to throw.

Wuzhou scholar Cao Canjun Feng Hua stood at the back of the crowd, and when he saw Li Xuan appearing on the steps of the city wall, he immediately bowed solemnly.

Li Xuan walked down from the city gate step by step, walked past every trebuchet, walked to Feng Hua's side, then turned around, and at the same time said softly: "Let's start!"

"Start!" Feng Huameng shouted loudly.

The next moment, all the soldiers immediately started to move.

The round rolling stone was placed in the hanging basket at the rear, and the soldiers in front had already begun to check the angle again.

The angles of the trebuchets are all preset in advance and adjusted in advance, and the final confirmation is now in progress.

After all the catapults were approved, Feng Hua swung his right hand forward fiercely.

The next moment, the eight rolling stones flew straight away from the urn city, and then flew straight into the sky as they rubbed against the city wall.

The rolling stone kept spinning high in the air, and finally fell towards the ground quickly, hitting the bottom of the steps seventy steps away from the city wall.

With a "bang", a head was directly smashed to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the rolling stone hit the chest of the other person behind him, knocking him to the ground in one fell swoop.

The eight rolling stones hit at least a dozen people to death.

Before those Tianyin soldiers could react, more rolling stones fell directly from midair again.

Some of them lacked strength control, and the rolling stone directly hit the soldiers further back.

This time it didn't hit anyone, it hit the ground directly, after bouncing twice, it began to roll forward quickly, and finally hit a calf directly.

With a sound of "Karma", the calf was directly smashed: "Ah!"

The tragic wailing sounded in the army formation in an instant, and it immediately became a crowd.

Dozens of rolling stones came down, and there was a big empty space among Luo Yongjie's soldiers.

When Luo Yongjie saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but jump, and his eyes jumped under the city gate in an instant.

At this time, the city gate was already on the verge of falling, and a gap was directly knocked open by someone.

But at this moment, Luo Yongjie felt extremely dangerous.

The front and rear are disconnected.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up." Luo Yongjie was the first to rush forward.

This is his decision.

However, at the beginning, he was still at the forefront, but at some point, he was already at the end.

Standing in the grove, he watched the remaining soldiers rush towards the city gate like crazy.

And he was just watching nervously.

Veterans on the battlefield have always been ruthless in their efforts to survive.

"Bang bang bang..."

Rolling stones fell from mid-air non-stop, and it was already bloody in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Luo Yongjie suddenly discovered that the location where the rolling stone fell was shrinking rapidly backwards, rapidly shrinking towards the city wall.

Raising his head, Luo Yongjie immediately discovered that the height of the rolling stone was much higher than before.

This time, the power that fell from a high place was even more terrifying.

"How did they do it?" Luo Yongjie's face was full of astonishment, he never thought that the catapult could still play like this.

This is completely different from what he had thought before.

……

Behind the city gate, in the middle of the urn, Li Xuan calmly watched the gate being knocked into a gap by a wooden pile, and could even clearly see the struggling faces of the Tianyin soldiers behind.

But at this moment, he just glanced at it lightly, and then raised his head directly.

"The trebuchet, raise the height by one block."

Li Xuan gave an order, and the trebuchet immediately fell further upwards, and then smashed hard on the Tianyin soldiers outside.

Immediately, his head was smashed, his bones were broken, and his tendons were broken.

parabola.

parabolic method.

Although this method of manipulating the trebuchet has been mastered by people at this time, most of them only know one thing and don't know the other.

But Li Xuan is very simple, he has a clear grasp of the operation method of the trebuchet.

In fact, Li Xuan also wanted the rolling stones thrown by the catapult to extend backward again, but the principle of the parabola and the height of the city wall directly determined the maximum distance the catapult could throw the rolling stones.

The rest is just personal skills.

The rolling stone flew higher and higher, and the ones falling outside the city wall were getting closer and closer.

A soldier holding a shield was directly hit by the rolling stone, the shield was directly smashed, and the person was directly crushed to death.

Even if it couldn't be smashed to death, a crossbow bolt under the city wall had directly killed many people.

There was a loud "bang", and the city gate shook violently again.

"Boom boom boom!" The impact of the battering hammer and the city gate became lighter and lighter.

Although Li Xuan didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew what happened in general,

At this time, he looked at the catapults on both sides, and calmly ordered: "Start extending backward."

With Li Xuan's order, one after another the rolling stones began to look towards the back of the city gate.

The Tianyin believers who had just rushed up from behind suffered disaster directly, and their heads were smashed one by one.

The mountain path outside the city gate is so narrow, even if eight rolling stones are placed together, it is enough to cover all the mountain path.

At this time, Li Xuan stepped forward slowly.

Walking to both sides of the center, beside the two catapults, he immediately ordered: "For the stone, it's just the size of a fist."

"Follow the order!" The soldiers behind immediately put a fist-sized stone in the basket behind them.

With a "bang", the city gate suddenly opened a thick gap, and the Tianyin believers behind immediately became excited.

However, at this time, Li Xuan passed through the gap and landed in the dense forest 300 meters away. He saw Luo Yongjie at a glance.

Li Xuan pressed his left hand on the trebuchet on the left, and ordered softly: "Two to the right."

Li Xuan pressed his right hand on the trebuchet on the right, and ordered softly, "Two to the left."

The two trebuchets immediately began to slightly adjust the distance.

"Let go!" Li Xuan ordered, and two fist-sized stones flew out at once.

In a blink of an eye, the two stones had already rubbed against the crenel and flew straight up, rubbed against the heads of the two soldiers and flew further away viciously.

In the blink of an eye, it had crossed a distance of 300 meters, and smashed hard towards the dense forest below.

With the sound of howling wind, Luo Yongjie suddenly raised his head, looking at the two rolling stones with a face full of astonishment.

In an instant, the long knife on Luo Yongjie's waist came out of its sheath and slashed directly at the two rolling stones.

The light of the knife flashed, and the blood light stood up.

A head was directly smashed to pieces.

Blood gushed out rapidly from his neck.

It's a little off.

Luo Yongjie made a knife with extreme confidence, but it was still a little short in an instant.

The result this time was that his head was directly smashed into pieces.

"Here's an order for Qianniuwei to attack, chase and kill him after seventy steps and return, and the rest will be handed over to the Kuaiji government soldiers."
