Liu Meng and Liu Jiao were convinced. After all, these stone bullets looked very sophisticated, about the same size, and in the shape of a perfect sphere. If they were not skilled stonemason, it would indeed be difficult to make them.

Liu Meng didn't believe how much stock the Wei army could have of such fine stone bullets. The thunder was a bit loud today, and the Wei army would definitely change its attack method tomorrow.

Liu Meng looked at the city wall and saw how such a dilapidated city wall could withstand the Wei army's attack, so he ordered the Huns soldiers to repair it overnight.

The torches illuminated the upper and lower parts of the city, and the Huns continued to transport wood and stone materials to repair the city walls.

Although it is impossible to repair the city wall overnight, we can finally plug up the holes and reinforce the areas that are about to collapse. Overall, it looks like that.

After dawn the next day, the Wei army appeared at the gate of the city again, still in the same formation.

Cao Liang looked from a distance and saw that the shabby city wall that was destroyed by catapults yesterday had been restored a lot. It seemed that the Huns were not resting that night. Cao Liang laughed and said, "You can repair it faster or I can destroy it faster."

He ordered that the attack formation from yesterday was still drawn up. All the men and horses in the battalions stood still, with only the catapults at the front.

There was another round of violent stone bullet attacks, and the Huns fled from the top of the city in pee. The strength of the Wei army's stone bullet attacks was no weaker than yesterday. They stayed on the top of the city and were in constant fear of their lives.

The facilities on top of the city were almost destroyed. Even the wet cowhide used by the Huns to defend themselves against stone bullets had been completely destroyed long ago under the saturation attack of the catapults. Most of the Huns soldiers had also withdrawn from the top of the city.

If the catapults continue to attack the city, it will be meaningless.

So Cao Liang ordered the catapults to be divided into two groups. One group stayed in place, adjusted the attack angle, and bombarded the city wall with all its strength, while the other group advanced fifty steps to throw stone bombs into the city and attack the buildings in the city.

and the Huns soldiers hiding under the city wall.

Each stone bullet seemed to have a huge force, and it made a loud noise when it hit the city wall. It didn't take long for the Huns to work hard all night, and the results of the Huns' hard work were destroyed. The stone bullets kept hitting the rammed earth.

On the city wall, big holes were smashed one after another.

The stone bullets thrown into the city aroused greater panic among the Huns. Wherever the stone bullets hit, walls collapsed and houses collapsed, and people who hit the city were even more bloody.

The Huns soldiers originally withdrew from the top of the city and gathered not far from the city wall to facilitate the second climb on the city. However, the stone bullets fell just above their heads. The Huns soldiers were hit so hard that they ran away with their heads in their hands.

They were thrown into chaos and had no choice but to flee further to the center of the city.

Being far away from the city wall created a huge disadvantage, that is, if the Wei army suddenly launched an infantry attack, it would be difficult for the Huns defenders to get in position quickly, and there would inevitably be big holes in the city's defense.

Liu Meng saw that this was not possible. If we continued to defend like this, the Huns would have no choice but to be beaten passively.

If you want to stop the Wei army's attack, you must destroy these catapults.

The damage rate of ordinary trebuchets is quite high. After a day of continuous attacks, about 70% of them are intact, which is quite good. If the attacks last for two or three days, not even half of them can be used.

The power of such an attack is naturally greatly reduced.

The catapults built by Cao Liang were not only huge in size, but also extremely solid in structure. After two days of continuous attacks, fifty catapults were actually intact. This cannot be said to be a miracle.

Liu Meng couldn't hold himself back any longer. He had fought many battles, but he had never seen anything like this. When the two armies came up, they didn't even meet each other. They were just bombarded by catapults. Who can stand this? No,

The Wei army cannot be allowed to continue attacking so recklessly.

Liu Meng immediately summoned two thousand elite cavalry, suddenly opened the city gate, and rushed towards the Wei army's catapult position.

The purpose of sending out such a death squad was to destroy the Wei army's catapults. Liu Meng did not expect a complete victory. As long as he could destroy about half of the Wei army's catapults, the pressure on the Huns army would be greatly reduced.

The Huns cavalry were very fast, and they opened the city gate very suddenly. Before the Wei army could understand, they had already charged forward.

However, the catapult was Cao Liang's treasure, so how could he allow the Huns to destroy it easily? Therefore, in front of the catapult, Cao Liang arranged a lot of defensive means, such as teams of serial crossbowmen and

Invisible horse rejection.

These invisible horses are laid flat on the ground and buried with loess and branches. If you don't look carefully, you can't find them at all. Ropes are tied to these horses, and the soldiers lying in ambush behind are waiting attentively.

The Hun cavalry rushed forward and suddenly pulled up the horse. In this way, the Hun cavalry was caught off guard and would hit the horse.

Just when the Huns thought they were about to succeed, the dust was flying in front of them, and suddenly a row of horse-repelling spears made of spikes appeared. The sharp spear points easily pierced the body of the war horse and threw the Hun cavalry on the horse.

Got out.

Some Xiongnu soldiers were directly hung on the horses, with spikes piercing through their abdomens, and some rolled to the ground. The Wei army who was ambushed behind raised their swords and chopped off the heads of the Huns like watermelons.

Come down.

The rows of horse-repelling guns blocked the Hun cavalry's offensive momentum. If these resisting horses were not removed, it would be difficult for them to rush to the catapult.

But before the Huns could move forward to move their horses, the crossbowmen who were ambushing behind them had already taken action. The dense rain of arrows instantly covered the entire battlefield. The Huns suffered heavy casualties, and in the end they had no choice but to abandon them.

There were corpses all over the ground, and they retreated back to the city in embarrassment.

After the failure of this counterattack, the situation of the Huns became very difficult. The city wall that was repaired with painstaking efforts at night was quickly destroyed by the Wei army's catapults during the day.

The Wei army's stone bullets were fired continuously, as if they were endless. The continuous attacks made the Huns tremble with fear. They didn't know how long the walls of Jiuyuan City could hold on under such fierce attacks.

Sure enough, after five days of continuous attacks, on the sixth day, the devastated southern city wall could no longer hold up. A stone bullet hit the foundation of the city wall. After the city wall held on precariously for half a moment,
Chapter completed!
