"Creak! Creak! Creak …. "
"Peng! Peng! Peng …. "
“.....”
The heavy trebuchets' unique rhythm drove the atmosphere of the battlefield. Yang Rui's troops, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, were already used to this scene. However, they were still mesmerized by the unique rhythm of the trebuchets. In truth, Yang Rui did not have any better equipment that could completely replace the 100 heavy trebuchets.
Even among the large equipment passed down from the Mohist School, the carpenter master Jiao Wen mostly controlled the divine armaments that were used to attack people. Within the Sky Piercing Crossbow, there were not many that were on the same scale as the heavy trebuchets and thunderclap chariots. Furthermore, they did not have similar offensive capabilities.
This did not mean that the equipment from the other civilizations were powerful. Back then, Yang Rui had exchanged for 100 heavy trebuchets from the Monaco civilization from the mission reward. It could only be said that the level of these equipment was just there. Even the Monaco civilization had not heard of anyone being able to create such equipment.
To put it in a higher level, it could at most be considered a specialty of the civilization. Moreover, the three civilizations also had equipment on the same level as the heavy trebuchets. Among them, the thunderclap chariot was a type of equipment that could compete with them. In fact, its performance was even better than the heavy trebuchets. However, Liu Ye, who was able to create this equipment, was still a captive in Yang Rui's hands.
The combined 100 heavy trebuchets unleashed their might. The first wave of boulders was launched. In the next moment, the city walls of Lunu City were smashed into pieces. It was just as everyone had expected.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
"Huala! Huala! Huala! "
“.....”
The heavy trebuchets had just loaded the second wave of boulders. However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. At the position of the heavy trebuchets in front of the formation, the ground suddenly caved in. Craters appeared out of thin air, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Kill!"
"Kill …."
“.....”
The sudden appearance of the large number of craters made Yang Rui's troops unable to react. In the next moment, large numbers of Yuan Shao's troops suddenly jumped out of the craters. They viciously slashed at the sword shield soldiers and heavy trebuchets that were in charge of defending Yang Rui's troops.
It could only be said that the potholes appeared too suddenly. The moment they appeared, some of Yang Rui's soldiers fell into them. Moreover, the potholes were located in front of and behind them. The subsequent attacks became somewhat difficult to guard against.
"Ahhh!"
"Kill!"
“.....”
The scene instantly became chaotic. Even though Yang Rui's troops were well-trained and had high morale, they were still stunned by the sudden appearance of Yuan Shao's troops. In a short period of time, there were many casualties. Many of the troops were injured.
Especially Yang Rui's 100 heavy trebuchets. All along, Yang Rui had treasured them and would immediately repair them if they were slightly damaged. However, at this moment, after being slashed again and again, many of the trebuchets fell apart. Most of the other trebuchets were also riddled with injuries.
"Hah!"
"Steady your footing!"
“.....”
This situation lasted for about three breaths of time. Yang Rui's troops had already spontaneously started to counterattack. Yang Rui and a group of generals were further away at the rear and were also rushing over with all their might.
At this moment, the strength and morale of Yang Rui's troops were on full display. If it had been an army with low morale, they would have been routed at the first possible moment after such a sudden attack.
However, Yang Rui's troops were different. They had various kinds of powerful protection. They were originally unafraid of death. The sneak attack of Yuan Shao's troops only caused them to panic for a moment. They did not feel any fear because of it.
"Kill!"
"Kacha!"
"Puff …."
“.....”
As Yang Rui's troops started to counterattack, especially after Yang Rui and a group of generals rushed to the front, the situation was slowly under control. Even if there were still Yuan Shao's troops crawling out from the holes, Yang Rui's troops had already stabilized their footing and gradually became evenly matched.
Even so, a quarter to a third of Yang Rui's heavy trebuchets had already been destroyed, especially the first two to three rows at the very front. They were almost completely destroyed by the sudden appearance of Yuan Shao's soldiers. Most of the remaining trebuchets were damaged as well. There were only a few that were lucky enough to escape this calamity and could still be used normally.
"Kill!"
"Kill a bunch of rats …."
"Waa waa waa …."
“.....”
Seeing that their own troops had fallen and their siege weapons had been damaged, after stabilizing their formation, Yang Rui's troops reacted and started to go crazy. They were very clear about their commander's love for his troops and how precious the siege weapons were. Instantly, anger rose from their chests and their battle intent exploded as they used all of their skills to kill.
In the art of war, when enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous will win. Yuan Shao wanted to win by surprise. At first, it seemed to have some effect, but then it started to become a stalemate. Especially when Yang Rui's troops started to go all out, Yuan Shao's troops who were sneak attacking were gradually unable to hold on.
Retreat! "
“.....”
Along with a long howl coming from the top of the city wall, Yuan Shao's soldiers who came out of the hole to launch a sneak attack shouted a few times and were about to retreat. But, without thinking, they all jumped into the hole like swimming fishes.
Those who dared to come out of the city to launch a sneak attack were all carefully selected by Yuan Shao. Even though they were not as fearless as Yang Rui's troops, they were still very valiant and decisive in their actions.
"Wahhhh!"
"Give me your life …."
"Kill!"
"Ah …."
“.....”
Yuan Shao's troops retreated very quickly. The angry Yang Rui's troops also chased after them relentlessly. Many of their opponents who were slightly obstructed were directly chopped to death. There were even some Yang Rui's troops who directly chased into the holes. However, after hearing the screams, they knew what happened to them.
Yang Rui hurriedly stopped this kind of suicidal behavior. This was also the first time he had experienced the feeling of being blinded by bloodlust. Some of the soldiers had already pulled most of their bodies and jumped into the pit after their opponents. They were pulled back by their comrades and still wanted to force their way in.
"Sword and shield soldiers, guard the hole entrance. The rest of the troops, pack up your weapons and temporarily retreat 10 miles!"
In this situation, Yang Rui was also holding back his energy. However, the battlefield was like this. Unexpected situations could happen at any time. As the commander, Yang Rui had to be calm and could not act rashly.
Yang Rui's order was wrapped in inner strength. His tone was cold. Instantly, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on the heads of his troops. It calmed them down by a lot. The military order was like a landslide and they all carried it out.
At this moment, Yang Rui had the time to carefully observe the holes made by Yuan Shao's troops. Almost all of the holes were only big enough to allow three people to enter at the same time. When he looked down, the direction of the hole was immediately distorted. He could only see a depth of two to three meters. It was pitch black.
