Chapter 680: Showing Power to the City and Breaking Five
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The soldiers of the Divine Guard pushed the cart and hit the city gate one after another, making a muffled sound that made the Shun army tremble.
However, it was impossible for the Divine Guards to break through the city gate in a short period of time. The city gate had been completely blocked with stones from the inside by the Shun army.
But their aura of never returning the city gate until they broke through made Shunjun's heart tremble when they saw it.
They won't stop until the city gate is broken!
The Shunjun soldiers all saw the determination of the Divine Guards.
A hundred meters away, Yang Yuan looked at the God Guards' not smooth but extremely violent attack with a look of satisfaction on his face.
There is no problem with the operation of the God Guard soldiers. It is not smooth. It is just that they have not used siege equipment for a long time, and these equipment are somewhat different from those they have used before, so they seem a bit unfamiliar.
There are currently no problems with the new siege equipment. The range, power, and sturdiness are all in line with the original settings.
Matching the settings is not necessarily the best, it also depends on whether they can play their due role in combat.
At present, the effects of these devices are quite good, and the rest will take time to verify.
It won't take too long, there will still be many cities in Shun Kingdom waiting for the Divine Guards to break through.
The institute's device research has never stopped.
There are not too many siege equipment that can be completely finalized. Most of them will be continuously improved during use or replaced by other equipment.
Gao Gang did not climb the city wall, and his crossbows had no eyes. He would not avoid him just because he was a general.
He is not made of steel and will die if hit by stones or crossbow arrows. It is better to stay away.
He boarded a building truck in the reservoir area and looked at the city wall and the situation in the distance outside the wall. It was very bad!
The Divine Guards are not only good at ambush warfare in the wild, they are also proficient in siege warfare.
And Gao Gang couldn't figure out one thing: where did the rebels transport so many siege equipment.
Why haven't I found any clues before?
Gao Gang remembered a rumor that was widely circulated within the Shun Army, that the rebels had the ability to appear and disappear.
Could it be that these siege equipment were transported here by their magical powers?
The continuous stimulation caused Gao Gang's psychology to change unconsciously, and he did not even feel this change himself.
Facing the fierce attack of the Divine Guards, Gao Gang had no good solution.
There wasn't much he could do. The most he could do was to go up and face the hail of bullets with the soldiers on the city wall when they couldn't resist, and to boost their morale.
The presence of a general on a city wall doesn't make the soldiers stronger, but it does make them tougher.
Only if generals are not afraid of death can soldiers be equally unafraid of death.
There will be a nest of bears!
The God Guards' offensive lasted for more than half an hour. The God Guards soldiers who controlled the equipment began to tire, and the siege equipment was almost overloaded.
Most of the accessories of these equipment are still made of wood, and their service life is somewhat short. Most of them need major repairs after experiencing a battle.
Very troublesome.
That's why Yang Yuan asked the research institute to research more new siege equipment.
The siege equipment he took out from his portable space were actually backward models, and the latest models were always in the laboratory.
Yang Yuan learned through Black Wing's channels that Qianlong Village was able to create pure iron equipment, but after several actual combat drills, it was denied by the frontline generals.
It was too heavy and there were problems during transportation and use.
Either the main body is made of wood and some accessories are made of iron, or the whole body is made of wood and then covered with a layer of iron sheet to increase sturdiness and wear resistance.
Yang Yuan preferred the former one, and the order he gave was mainly to study the former type of equipment.
But the latter ones have not given up, maybe they can play a greater role on the battlefield.
Gu</span>But Yang Yuan knew that all-metal equipment was the future.
Whether it is a combination of iron and wood, or iron-clad wood, these are only excessive measures in the short term.
The Divine Guards stopped attacking the city, giving the Shun army a rare chance to breathe.
Gao Gang immediately led people to climb the city wall, directing people to treat the wounded while arranging soldiers to fill the gaps in the defense.
The rebels outside the city didn't know when they would launch the next attack, and he had to defend the city wall as soon as possible.
It's not that he doesn't have the means to fight back, it's just that the rebel attack just now was too sudden and too violent, making it impossible for him to direct his soldiers to fight back.
In that case, whether it is people or equipment, they can only become targets.
If the rebels still dare to launch an attack at the same location, you will be finished if I smash them!
Li Ye was so excited when he saw so many instruments being used together that he couldn't help but go up and manipulate them.
The lord did not issue an order to enter the city, so he could only enjoy himself by controlling the trebuchet.
This is much better than that guy Ma Teng. He jumped on the horse for more than half an hour, but in the end he didn't take a step forward.
Poor!
After stopping the attack, the God Guards were not idle, looking for the next location to attack, checking various parts of the siege equipment, replacing those that needed to be replaced in time, and picking out those that could no longer be used and putting them aside...
The God Guards soldiers who had no mission were seizing the time to replenish their physical strength. Whether they were operating trebuchets, crossbows or rushing cars, it was very physically demanding. They would probably have to attack soon, so they had to regain their physical strength as soon as possible.
Two quarters of an hour later, the Divine Guards launched their attack again, not choosing to stay at their original position.
This made Gao Gang a little disappointed.
This time, the Shun army was no longer completely powerless to counterattack. Although they were still pinned against the wall, there were still many Shun soldiers who launched a counterattack against the Divine Guards under the cover of their comrades.
The trebuchets and crossbows on the city wall were already shot farther on the ground. Although the power was not as powerful as the new equipment of the Divine Guards, the trebuchets and crossbows on the city walls still created holes the size of ocean bowls when they hit wood. Nine times out of ten, the trebuchets and crossbows on people would kill them. .
For bed crossbows, there is no difference between one or two layers of armor and no armor.
The Shun army's counterattack brought some trouble to the Divine Guards and caused some casualties.
They also suffered higher casualties.
The Shun army did not counterattack before, but because of their full defense and avoidance, the casualties were smaller.
However, Shunjun prefers the current style of fighting with greater casualties.
No one likes to be beaten without fighting back.
Not counting a certain Mahatma, he was a ruthless man!
They feel very painful and sad when their comrades around them die in front of them, but they are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is their destination.
And they saw that the rebels also kept falling, and that was enough!
Yang Yuan was also concerned about the casualties of the Divine Guards. Compared with field battles, casualties during sieges were much greater. Even with the assistance of siege equipment, the personal strength of the Divine Guards soldiers was not fully reflected.
However, this is a stage that the development of the Divine Guard must go through. An army that can win battles and fight hard battles is a truly heroic army!
But it's enough at this point.
Yang Yuan called a messenger, "Tell Li Ye that special bullets can be used!"
There is no porcelain job without diamonds.
Since Yang Yuan dared to attack the Kurdistan area, he must have been prepared.
Special bullets are one of his strengths.
Bombs, kerosene bombs, and even more disgusting "poison gas bombs", he didn't believe that a small Kurdish city wall couldn't be taken down!
