Chapter 1365
Sima Jun deployed trench and busy in front of the formation. It would definitely take a lot of time to put these giants into the battle. More than 100 trenchers were surrounded by Sima Jun soldiers, each performing his duties and final assembly of the trenchers.
After all, the catapult is an uncommonly used equipment. Although the usual training involves the catapult, Sima Jun’s catapult player is not a full-time job, but also serves in other military groups. After all, putting thousands of people idle is also a waste of resources.
Usually, these soldiers are divided into spearmen, swords, shields and archers according to their different types of troops, and belong to different combat formations. Only when using trenchers will these people be integrated and acted as trenchers.
Most of these people are timid and there are not many who actually operate the catapult.
Ma Long did not rush to take action, but just asked each catapult to prepare, fill the stone bullets, and adjust the ballistics at any time, aiming at the catapults. With just Ma Long's order, these stone bullets can be projected out.
Ma Long did not rush to take action, but was waiting for Sima Jun to assemble these catapults to almost complete them, and then took action and gave them a fatal blow.
The range of the Bingzhou Army's catapult is greater than that of the Sima Army's catapult. When Sima Army arranged the catapult, it must deploy the catapult to its own range, so that it can pose a threat to the flat box truck. Therefore, the range of the Bingzhou Army's catapult can completely cover these catapults, and Ma Long would not worry about not being able to hit it at all.
Now Ma Long is waiting for Sima Army to deploy all the catapults before attacking, so that all the threats can be resolved at once.
Due to the barrier of the flat box truck and the position occupied by the camp first, it was originally higher than that of the Sima Army. When the Sima Army launched an attack, it had to pass a long slope. From this perspective, they could not see the situation in the flat box truck array, and they did not know that there were weapons like a catapult behind the flat box truck.
When Sima Jun launched an attack, Ma Long did not use a catapult cart once, so Sima Jun would not notice that there was still a universe inside the flat box formation.
The reason why Ma Long did not use a catapult before was to prepare to keep this killer weapon until the critical moment, and there was no necessity to use a catapult to fight infantry. These attacks were enough to resolve the box trucks. How could he use a cattle knife to kill chickens? The catapult cart would be kept, which would have greater uses.
The Sima Army could not transport all the catapults in at one time. He was assembling them and transporting them into the formation. In order to prevent the Bingzhou Army from suddenly attacking and destroying the catapults, they also deployed a large number of spear soldiers in front of the position to form a square spear formation. Even if the Bingzhou Army uses cavalry to attack, they would not be able to break through this defensive position in a short time.
Chen Qian was assigned by Sima's commander of the stone-tree troopers. Most of the stone-tree troopers were from Chen Qian's troops, and one was an infantryman drawn from Hu Fen. This time, there were as many as tens of thousands of troops involved in combat and defense, almost filling the mountain pass.
This is the first time Sima Jun used a catapult in the field. Most people have a relatively fresh feeling, but Chen Qian is full of confidence. He is very eager to see the spectacular scene of flying stones flying across the sky. No matter how awesome the Bingzhou Army's flat box truck is still vulnerable in front of the flying stone rain. In this battle, Chen Qian will definitely leave his name in history and completely change the purpose of the catapult, so that the catapult will not only become a weapon for siege, but also a weapon for field battles.
Although the catapults in the front row were ready, Chen Qian did not rush to take action. Instead, after all the catapults in the rear row were assembled, they launched an attack together. One hundred catapults could launch a hundred flying stones at the same time. Just thinking about this spectacular scene is already exciting.
It was really time-consuming and laborious to assemble these catapults. It took Sima Jun almost half an hour to deploy the catapult. When the last catapult was assembled, the sergeant reported the completion of the catapult to Chen Qian.
Chen Qian stood at a high place and looked at the scattered catapult standing in the sea of people, ready to go, and felt a sense of standing out. Chen Qian nodded and was about to issue an order to make the catapult attack. When he saw the Bingzhou Army's position, a stone bullet suddenly flew out, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then fell towards the Sima Army's position at an extremely fast speed.
Although this stone bullet did not hit the catapult, it fell into the catapult's hand. Two people were hit on the spot, their bones were broken and their arms were broken, and the stone bullet bounced and rolled, causing a commotion and panic in the Sima military formation. Many people were injured wherever the stone bullet went.
Sima Jun stood so densely that the stone bullet flew into the air, and it could kill and injure many people with just one hit. If even one person was really not hit, it would be a strange thing.
Chen Qian looked shocked. Before the catapult on his side had taken action, the Bingzhou army actually took the lead. They did not find out in advance that there were catapults in the Bingzhou army. So did the stone bullet come out there?
Ma Long was trying to get his hands on the verge. He saw that Sima Jun's catapult was ready and was about to be launched, so he was the strongest man. He immediately ordered the catapult to attack, and the target was aimed directly at the catapults.
However, the first bullet was a bit too far, and he didn't hit the catapult, but he just killed and injured some people. Ma Long was not very satisfied with the result. He originally wanted to fire it in one shot, but unfortunately he didn't hit it.
But it doesn't matter. The pitcher will immediately correct the ballistics to improve the hit rate. Moreover, it is not only one catapult at the same time. The other twenty-nine catapults also followed the first catapult and threw their first stone bullets.
Thirty stone bullets attacked at the same time. Although it was not very spectacular among the Sima Army's 10,000 team, the panic and chaos brought to Sima Army was beyond replenishment.
Five or six stone bombs hit Sima Jun's catapult. The tall catapult could not withstand this fatal blow. With a "click", it immediately fell apart and turned into a pile of rotten wood, with wood chips flying everywhere, and instead hurt countless people.
As for the other stone bombs, they fell into the crowd, and Sima Jun immediately suffered heavy casualties and was in chaos.
