"Black Buttocks, did you see that, that's Yang Xia you are going to attack at night." Lan
On the chariot, Zhao Tuo called Hei Butt to the side, pointed at the city hundreds of steps away, and smiled at him: "How about it, are you still thinking of a surprise attack?"
Black Butt glanced at the crowds of people on the Yangxia city wall, the crossbows set up every few steps, the long axes, long vertebrae, and all kinds of strange-looking city defense weapons.
Of course, the deep trench under the city wall and the hook-and-claw sword blade exposed from the thatch cover and reflecting the sun also made Black Butt's eyes hurt from the shaking.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Why is the Chu army in Yangxia City like this? I have followed you General to attack the city so many times, but I have never seen such a formation. They have so many weapons. , How can we let people attack the city? It’s so unethical.”
Seeing that this guy actually blamed the Chu army in the city, Zhao Tuo couldn't help laughing and said: "According to what you said, it would be better for the Chu people in the city to open the door and surrender to you."
Black Bottom chuckled and said: "That's best, General. This city is so difficult to attack. We might as well send a lobbyist in. Maybe we can defeat the enemy without fighting. The art of war does not say that attacking the city is the best. Is attacking the heart the most important thing? It’s a pity that the long-tongued man named Li is not here, otherwise, if we let him enter the city, we can definitely capture Yangxia without spending a single soldier."
Zhao Tuo glanced at Hei Butt. This guy was really useful in learning the art of war. Occasionally he could make random remarks, and he looked a bit like a senior officer. But what he said about sending lobbyists into the city may be useless in Yangxia. Lan
"I'm afraid this defensive arrangement is the work of the Mohists. Go and call me the Mohists from the army."
Qin Mo Zhao Ji used to follow his master Lu Jun when he conquered Yan. He served in the army and personally participated in the research and manufacture of giant cannons. Now he is accompanying Zhao Tuo in the Qin army.
He was called over to take a look and said: "This is the method of our Mohist family. It is the method of defending the city recorded in the "Mo Jing". There must be Mohists in the city to help. Could it be the ink of the Deng Ling family that was hard-earned in the past?" If there are really Mo people who help the Chu army in the city to defend the city, it may be quite difficult to break the city this time."
Zhao Ji frowned.
Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "The Mohist technique of defending the city is really extraordinary when I see it today. But if we use the huge cannon made by our army to attack the city, will it be able to defend it?"
Zhao Ji was startled. He had just fallen into the stereotype that the Mohist city defense technique was difficult to defeat. Now when Zhao Tuo mentioned it, he remembered that the Qin army had already mastered the terrifying power of the giant cannon.
"What the general is saying is that the walls of Yangxia City are thin. Although the Mohist technique can resist the ants attacking the city, it is powerless against the giant cannons..." Lan.
Zhao Ji said this with a complicated expression on his face.
Although there are enemies in Yangxia City, they use his Mohist techniques to defend the city.
But now, this group of Qin Mo wanted to attack the city with the giant cannon left by Gongshuzi.
How ridiculous.
…
At the top of Yangxia City, Deng Lingzi looked solemn when he saw that the dark Qin army had set up camp outside the city. At the same time, he sent a large number of soldiers and civilians to cut down trees nearby.
Beside him, disciple Bai Di frowned and said, "Master, it's still early, do you think those Qin troops will come to attack the city?" Lan
….
Bai Di was young and was obsessed with various methods of defending the city in the "Mo Jing". He believed that if he defended with this method, then the world would not be able to attack him, so he was looking forward to the Qin army being able to attack the city. Show off his Mohist city defense skills.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be many Qin people, but when they arrived, they only focused on setting up camp and did not show any signs of attacking the city, which made him feel quite regretful.
Deng Lingzi shook his head and whispered: "They are building siege equipment. I think they will not attack the city until the equipment is ready."
Bai Di raised a smile on his lips and said expectantly: "Then let these Qin people know how powerful our Mo family's city defense methods are."
Deng Lingzi glanced at him and said, "This battle is difficult. Don't take it lightly. Go inspect the city wall again and see if there are any flaws."
"only."
Looking at the Qin army outside the city who had no intention of attacking the city, Deng Lingzi's face
The color became more and more solemn. Lan
Yangxia City, with the help of several Mohists, was built like an iron barrel, but the Qin army outside the city has not yet attacked the city.
Until the early morning of the third day.
Wu Guang and Gua went to the top of the city to defend the city with the Chu army.
Standing on the city wall, they could see at a glance that the situation outside the city today was very different from the previous two days. The Qin army that had been huddled in the camp began to come out one after another and formed an array in the open space outside the city.
"Is the Qin army going to attack the city?"
Gua swallowed, her legs trembling.
Another civilian named Dong next to him saw his appearance and grinned: "Don't be afraid. Now we have Mo people to help us defend the city. Why should we be afraid? Haven't you seen these crossbows and various equipment? ?"Lan
As he spoke, Dong pointed at a strange crossbow not far away and said, "Did you see it? I heard that it is the Mo family's secret weapon. It can shoot sixty large arrows. Those Qin troops who dare to attack the city will be safe." Let them never come back."
Under Dong's words, the Chu people and soldiers who were still nervous around them all calmed down a lot.
"Yes, if the Qin army dares to come, watch Naigong shoot them into skewers."
A Chu soldier in charge of the crossbow machine shouted, causing a burst of laughter.
The densely packed defensive equipment and iron barrel-like defensive measures gave them the confidence to defend the city.
Only Wu Guang ignored it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at about two hundred steps outside the wall. The Qin army was carrying various giant trees and assembling something there.
Two hours later, it was noon and the sun was scorching. Lan
Yangxia guard general Feng Houyi, Deng Lingzi, Bai Di and other inkmen stood on the city wall, looking at the more than ten stone-shooting machines that the Qin army had assembled two hundred steps outside the city.
The soldiers of Qin Army were working together to carry huge stones and place them on the giant stone machine.
"Big gun."
Feng Houyi swallowed his saliva. Before he saw the Qin army's cannons, he still had confidence in the methods of defending the city of these southern Mohists. He thought that with the help of Mohist city defense techniques, it would be no problem to defend for three or four days.
Now when he saw the huge stone bullets, Feng Houyi lost his confidence.
"No problem, don't be afraid. Even if the Qin army's cannon can fire hundreds of pounds of boulders, it's hard to aim and extremely labor-intensive. I'm afraid they may fire dozens of stone bullets, but not even one of them will hit the city wall. Come up."
….
Bai Di said loudly, encouraging everyone. Lan
He was very confident in the Mohist's city defense skills. He felt that as long as the Qin army's cannons were not accurate and their efforts were in vain, they would continue to use ants to attack the city. At that time, it would be time for the Mohists to show their power.
After all, even the stone machines created by their inkmen hit random targets, making it difficult to aim.
In response to Bai Di's encouragement, there were several huge sounds of breaking through the air. Stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms flew up from two hundred steps away, piercing the sky, passing over the top of Yangxia City, and smashing into the city, making a huge roar. There was a rumble and smoke filling the sky.
On the city wall, whether it was the Chu soldiers guarding the city, the conscripted civilians, or the Mohists, they were all stunned.
A hundred kilograms of boulders really rose into the sky.
Bai Di's teeth trembled, and he turned around and shouted: "Don't be afraid, second or third son, what I said is right. Although the Qin army's cannon is powerful, it cannot aim at the city wall. I am afraid that only one person in a hundred can hit it."
Despite the encouragement from Bai Di, the ink master, everyone on the city wall still had a pale face, and everyone was thinking about what would happen if they were hit by the boulder. Lan
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
? "
Deng Lingzi nodded silently, bringing a depressing atmosphere to the city.
"I don't believe it, it's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Bai Di gritted his teeth and didn't want to believe it. Lan
Soon, the Qin army's giant cannon was debugged, and more than a dozen huge rocks weighing 100 kilograms flew into the sky, making a terrifying and harsh sound.
This time, three or four huge rocks seemed to have eyes, and they bombarded Yangxia's city wall.
There was a loud roar and the earth trembled.
In the past few days, the Mohist had spent all his efforts. The city wall, which was covered with long axes, repeating crossbows and other defensive equipment, had not yet been used for any purpose. It was turned into pieces under the bombardment of the huge rocks. One turret was smashed on the spot. , instantly collapsed and shattered.
A dozen unlucky guards were turned into corpses on the spot, and many people were also affected and suffered serious injuries.
The giant cannon fired a volley, it was so terrifying!
"Run!" Lan
Someone shouted, turned around and ran down the city.
Wu Guang swallowed. Although he was not standing in the section of the city that was hit by the boulder, he was still frightened by the huge impact, especially when he saw with his own eyes that winter, when he had just spoken to comfort them, was hit by a piece of flying gravel. Shot through the head, he was already a dead body on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Wu Guang shouted and ran towards the city wall.
Faced with such a scene, the guards on the city wall, whether they were the guards of the Chu army or the civilians who were forcibly brought up, all screamed and ran away. As for the city's guard Feng Houyi, as early as when the cannon was fired, he There is no shadow anymore.
Faced with the bombardment of huge rocks from two hundred steps away, the so-called city defense skills of the Mohists were useless. The huge city wall was just a passive target.
….
"Master... the Qin army's cannons are so terrifying, we... should withdraw too."
Bai Ti's teeth chattered, and he felt that his world was collapsing. Lan
The once proud Mohist city defense skills were so fragile under that giant cannon.
What's the use of his lifelong learning and lifelong beliefs under this huge cannon?
Deng Lingzi did not answer him, but looked at the strange stone-making equipment outside the city with complicated eyes, and whispered.
"Gongshu Pan and Zimozi attacked each other. Gongshu Panjiu set up a plan to attack the city, and Zimozi was at a distance of nine. Gongshu Ban's attack weapons were exhausted, but Zimozi had more than enough to defend the city."
"For hundreds of years, we Mohists have believed that the Gongshu lineage not only has no moral integrity, but also is no match for our Mohist family in terms of skill. Even if it is the ladder that Gongshu is most proud of, our Mohist family has a way to restrain it. ...Who would have known that he would actually create such a shocking weapon? With this siege equipment here, even Zimozi would be unable to do anything when he saw this!"
"The art of Gongshu is even better than that of our Mo family."
Outside Yangxia City, the Qin army was in formation. Lan
Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot, looking at Yangxia City in the distance shrouded in smoke and dust, and the deafening loud noises still echoed in his ears.
With a new round of cannon salvos, more than a dozen boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms hit the fragile Yangxia city wall one after another. This time, the low city wall could no longer hold it, and a long section of the wall directly exploded with thunder. collapse.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Tuo smiled to his left and right and said: "Most of the giant cities may be able to withstand one or two, but these small cities are really like a torrent in front of the huge artillery of our Qin army."
"It doesn't matter how sophisticated the Mohist city defense skills are... Times have changed!"
When Zhao Tuo finished speaking, the war drums of the Qin army beat.
Amidst the sound of drums, the Qin soldiers marched in neat steps towards Yangxia City, which was covered in smoke and dust and had lost the protection of its city walls.
On that day, Qin general Zhao Tuo captured Yangxia. Lan
Dongjun taking off
