For the Riken to be able to gain a foothold in history, there was indeed something special about them. It was the same in the game. When Yang Rui led the Yellow Turban Tribe to Jiuluri Castle, the Riken were already prepared. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↑ Say △ w】
】
At least half of the trench outside the gate had just been dug!
Yang Rui came from the coastline to Jiuluri Castle. In total, it only took a little more than two hours. The Riken actually discovered the movements of Yang Rui's tribe in such a short time. They even had the time to dig half of a trench, which was really beyond Yang Rui's expectations.
For the past three days, Yang Rui went back in a roundabout way. On one hand, he wanted to get rid of the attention of the other Nihon civilizations. On the other hand, he wanted to catch the Riken off guard. For this reason, Yang Rui didn't even go to Kansan Castle, which was closer to the south. Unexpectedly, the Riken still reacted in advance.
Jiu Liuli City's structure was rather unique. It used the Vortex Guo Style, and the entire city was built in a complicated 'circle' shape, extending inwards in circles. In the center was the mountain city's Heavensguard Pavilion.
The structure of the city had determined that there was only one West Gate in Long Stay City, and if the attacking party wanted to rush into the city, they could only attack round by round through the "Return" Corridor. And every round, they would have to face attacks from the higher levels of the city. The difficulty of this was obvious.
The half of the trench that the Riken dug in front of the city gate was just three hundred feet in front of the gate. With the help of the terrain, the archers on the wall could attack any area within the range of the trench, and ordinary siege weapons couldn't be spread out in the narrow area outside the trench.
In the historical record, the Riken clan had tried to stop the Hōjō Clan's attacks several times in Kyugiri Castle. Every time, the Hōjō Clan stopped in their tracks and couldn't move forward. Was it like in the game, where the Riken clan not only had strong city defenses, but also had extraordinary scouting abilities?
No matter what, Jiuluri City was the most difficult city Yang Rui had encountered so far. He had also attacked this city before, but at that time, the structure of the city was much simpler than it was now. It was obvious that Jiuluri City had been rebuilt!
Fortunately, Yang Rui had heavy-duty trebuchets that were far superior to ordinary siege weapons. In the end, Yang Rui found an open space over 60 zhang away and set up 100 heavy-duty trebuchets.
The Heavy Trebuchet's attributes were: 2000-2000 Damage, 3m Diameter of Stone Projectile, 2000kg Projectile Speed, 5min Packing Speed, 1m/s Movement Speed, and 50 Grade 6 Infantry Soldiers or above.
There was no description of the range, but with the attack and the diameter of the stone projectile, it basically determined the range of the heavy-duty trebuchets. The only difference was that there would be some changes based on the quality of the stone projectile.
After using it for a long time, Yang Rui was very familiar with the range of the heavy-duty trebuchets. Usually, the heavy-duty trebuchets could throw up to 70 zhang without any problems. This was also the reason why Yang Rui set them up 60 zhang away.
Yang Rui's speculation was that the heavy-duty trebuchets were produced in the Monaco civilization region. The cities in this civilization region weren't very tall, but their range of attack was very wide. Perhaps this was the background of the heavy-duty trebuchets' super long range.
Of course, the heavy-duty trebuchets had to take into account the range, so the height at which they could shoot was affected. It wasn't too obvious in the three civilizations, but in a mountain city in the Japanese civilization like Jiuluri City, the attack range of the heavy-duty trebuchets was limited.
Yang Rui set up the heavy-duty trebuchets 60 zhang away, which could only cover a limited area near the city gate. If he wanted to attack the city wall at a higher altitude, he would need to redeploy the heavy-duty trebuchets.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"… …"
The 100 heavy-duty trebuchets began to fire, and the stone projectiles filled the sky almost instantly, half of the sturdy city gate of Jiuluri City was gone. Large pieces of gravel shot out in all directions, and with the help of the terrain, they rolled down and filled up half of the trench that the Rimi had dug.
In less than half an hour, the city gate of Jiuluri City and the nearby city walls were broken, but the attack of the heavy-duty trebuchets couldn't reach the top anymore. Yang Rui had to start moving the trebuchets.
This was almost destined to be a difficult siege battle. Due to the restrictions of Jiuluri City's terrain, Yang Rui had to continuously move the heavy-duty trebuchets, and break through small sections of the city wall.
And in the narrow whirlpool rope tunnel of Jiuluri City, even if Yang Rui sent the Yellow Turban Tribe to attack, it would be difficult to increase the speed of the advance. Not to mention, facing the long range defense of the terraced city, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
In such a situation, Yang Rui only let the Yellow Turban Tribe advance step by step, and didn't directly lead the tribe to attack the city.
While pushing forward with great difficulty, Yang Rui also brought a small surprise to the Rijian clan. He used more than 100 flying units to bring over a batch of the few dozen "aerial bombs" that were left before, and when both sides were in a state of panic, he suddenly threw them at Jiuluri City's Tianshou Pavilion.
At this time, Lijian Yiyao, who had been stationed in Jiuluri City, was commanding the battle. He had suffered at the hands of Yang Rui more than once, so he didn't dare to be careless. After throwing down the 'aerial bombs', there weren't many people in Tianshou Pavilion to deal with the sudden fire.
Thus, the small trick that Yang Rui had prepared to play was suddenly magnified. The fire in Tianshou Pavilion couldn't be contained in time, and quickly spread, covering the entire Tianshou Pavilion in smoke and fire.
It was only when the smoke and fire spread that Lijian Yiyao noticed the abnormality in Tianshou Pavilion. At this time, the news of Tianshou Pavilion catching fire hadn't even reached Lijian Yiyao yet.
Lijian Yiyao was a very capable and noble person. Faced with the unexpected fire, Lijian Yiyao thought that he had failed to plan, and his command of the battle became chaotic.
At this time, the fire in Tianshou Pavilion was very difficult to extinguish. Lijian Yiyao spent a lot of effort to contain the fire in the vicinity of Tianshou Pavilion. In the process, he used up a large number of soldiers, and the situation was a little chaotic.
During this process, the defense of the city was affected. Not only did the defending soldiers at the bottom have to endure the heavy catapults' rain of bullets, they were also unsure about the chaos above. Thus, the speed at which they retreated increased by a lot.
An hour later, Tianshou Pavilion couldn't withstand the fire and collapsed. A large number of soldiers were killed, and the entire Jiuluri City's defense was in chaos.
