"Of course I won't let Lord Qu Yang's efforts go in vain." Qu Ping waved his hand!
Forget it, extending your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife.
With Jiancheng in front, even if Xiong Wuliang asked for a price, Qu Ping could only accept it.
If Xiong Wuliang was just a general under his command, then Qu Ping could also forcibly order the so-called catapults and stone bombs to be forcibly requisitioned.
But Xiong Wuliang is a dignified Qu Yangjun.
Such a lord can be regarded as a small prince in Chu State. Although he is currently obeying Qu Ping's orders, he cannot tolerate Qu Ping being too presumptuous.
Xiong Wuliang smiled happily!
Investment success!
The unscrupulous young man immediately counted on his fingers: "General Zhu, I don't want any money for this catapult. I will treat it as a free support from the general."
"But it's not easy to grind stone bullets. If you don't charge some fees, it will be difficult for me to explain to the craftsmen in the fiefdom..."
“It’s not too much—five cents for a stone bullet!”
Qu Ping felt relieved!
Fortunately, the price is not outrageous.
A stone bullet that can be used seriously has a very complicated process from mining to transportation to hammering and grinding.
Even if the requirements are not high and it does not need to be polished perfectly, the cost is more than five yuan!
Xiong Wuliang really didn't speak like a lion this time.
"Okay! I agree!" Qu Ping waved his hand and promised boldly: "Within three days, I want to see at least a hundred catapults and enough stone bombs!"
Xiong Wuliang was overjoyed and quickly made further progress and said——
"General Qi Zhuguo——"
"Our three armies of Dachu have been attacking for several days and have consumed a lot of arrows."
"If the general needs it, our Quyang County can also provide sufficient arrows for the army! As for the price, it is easy to negotiate!"
Qu Ping was amused and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I want one hundred thousand arrows. Do you have any in Quyang County?"
Xiong Wuliang was confident: "Yes! If the general needs more, we can satisfy it!"
Mi Fei on the side couldn't help it anymore and said through gritted teeth: "General Zhu, this man is treacherous and cunning, don't be deceived by him!"
"It's very difficult to make stone bullets, so he dares to agree to it? A stone bullet only costs five yuan?"
"From my point of view, this man's so-called catapult must be just a pile of rubbish piled up with wooden splinters! And the stone bullets are even more difficult to see! All kinds of dirt and mud are pulled in to make up the number!"
"Finally, I want to ask Qu Yangjun - do you know what the concept of one hundred thousand arrows is?"
Xiong Wuliang smiled brightly and looked at Mi Fei: "How about... bet another 10,000 gold?"
…
The fierce man stood on the wall of Jianyang City, high-spirited!
This Jianyang of mine is impregnable!
Although the Vietnamese army under his command was also damaged in the previous attacks for several days, the casualties of the Chu army were obviously greater!
After several days of defensive battles, the Chu army suffered heavy losses.
Jiuchao touched the solid battlements made of bluestone with his hands, and his pride suddenly rose in his heart!
Defeating Yu Fujun's 20,000 old, weak, sick and rotten fish and shrimps is not a real military achievement!
He has found out clearly that the commander of the Chu army opposite is the famous General Zhuguo!
With the solid and dangerous Jianyang City, as well as abundant food, grass, and ordnance, Jiuchao is confident that he can guard this city wall until his death!
maybe……
When the Chu army lost all its energy and morale was in turmoil, the Vietnamese army suddenly came out...
Brilliant achievements are right in front of you!
The fierce man put up a pavilion with his hands and looked at the Chu army camp in the distance, with a confident smile on his lips!
The Chu army has not launched an attack for three full days.
Obviously, there is no confidence in being able to break through Jianyang City!
Fight but not fight, retreat but never retreat, but why?
Do you want to use up the food and grass in Jianyang City?
I want to scream so fiercely!
There is enough food in the city to feed 10,000 Vietnamese troops for several years! Qu Ping, wait and taste the taste of failure!
"Send the order! Guard the city wall and be careful of Chu people's sneak attack!" He waved his big hand fiercely!
The soldiers on the side were full of energy: "No!"
All the Vietnamese troops on the city wall looked at Jiuchao with reverence - with this Dayue Kingdom war god sitting in Jianyang, Jianyang is impregnable! Victory is easy!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the gate of the Chu army camp opposite opened vaguely.
He smiled fiercely: "The bastards from Chu State are here to die again!"
When the Vietnamese army heard this, they laughed one after another and mocked the Chu army under the city!
Past examples of offensive and defensive battles prove that if the Chu army attempts to conquer Jianyang, it will cost them lives!
I saw the Chu army on the opposite side pushing out a large number of catapults!
At a quick glance, there are at least two hundred of them!
Behind the catapults, the Chu army's infantry filed out and guarded the many catapults. They formed a square formation and stood ready to guard against the evil spirits leading troops out of the city to destroy the catapults.
Seeing so many catapults, the Vietnamese army in the city became commotion.
Fierce was also shocked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and laughed loudly!
"The Chu army has so many catapults and is about to bombard me in Jianyang - why is the general laughing at this time?" All the soldiers asked anxiously.
He laughed fiercely! The sound is like a loud bell, and can be heard clearly throughout the Jianyang City Wall!
"I'm laughing at that Qu Ping, who is just pretending to be a fool!"
"How can we build so many catapults in just a few days? They must be all junk, here to deceive us!"
"Look, gentlemen, once these catapults are launched, they will definitely show their cowardice! Then the three armies will laugh out loud and destroy the morale of the Chu people!"
Many soldiers on the wall of the Yue Kingdom heard clearly, and when they saw that Ji Chuo's words made sense, they were relieved, with confident sunny smiles on their faces!
"What the general said is true!"
"Chu people are really ridiculous!"
The words just fell...
I saw the catapult positions that had been lined up, suddenly roaring together!
Throw tons of balls!
Those catapults were in good condition, and they were not as vicious as the Vietnamese soldiers imagined, as they imagined that they would burst into pieces as soon as they were launched.
Jiuchao was startled, and then smiled disdainfully!
The fierce man shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to drown out the sound of the whistling stone bullets in the wind: "Don't worry, the Chu people's catapults must be inaccurate..."
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom!
Stones hit the city wall, the flags of the Vietnamese army collapsed, soldiers' bones and tendons were broken, and there were heavy casualties!
Even if there are those who react quickly and raise their shields in time to defend, it is of no avail. They cannot block the bombardment of the boulders at all!
As long as you rub it a little bit, the fractures and fractures are considered minor!
This round of bombardment of 200 stone bullets actually hit at least 80% of the hits!
I was stunned by the villain!
Jiuchao fell to the ground, but managed to get up with the help of his own soldiers. Although he was not injured, he was still alive!
Looking around, the Vietnamese soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and the arrow tower on the city had been smashed! The Vietnamese archers who were buried under the stone bricks screamed for help, but the city wall was already in chaos and there was no time to care about the unlucky archers.
It should be noted that although the catapult is very lethal, its accuracy has always been difficult to control.
Although Jianyang City has a large target, even if it is bombarded with the most sophisticated catapults, the hit rate will not be higher than 20%.
According to Ji Chuo's imagination, if the Chu people took out so many catapults in just a few days, they must be of poor workmanship. Even if they are barely usable, they are still far from the word "excellent"!
According to fierce estimates, the hit rate of the Chu people's catapults is even 10% difficult to achieve!
Now actually...
Fierce eyes widened! How did the Chu people do it!
