Mo Waner patted the base and said,
"These large stone slabs weigh at least five hundred kilograms. Pulling them up from the other side is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Not only that, look above, at the top of the ladder, we also installed an iron hook, which can firmly hook the opposite city wall. Coupled with the fixed load below, they can't push it away even if they want to! "
"Okay, okay, it is indeed wonderful. This is simply a weapon for siege. However, the enemy cannot pull such a heavy thing, and neither can our army. How can we get it to the enemy?" What about the city?
Our previous ladders could be carried and run. "
"Oh! Good question!"
Mo Waner said proudly,
"Then you have come to the point of asking. Do you see the big wheels over there? The bearings of those wheels are all iron rods, and the wheels are also made of the hardest wood, which is very strong. With these wheels, the soldiers It can be pushed and run on the battlefield, and three or four people can easily push a Mohist ladder.
When retreating, you can also directly pull the rope and run back. You only need to pull up the ladder first, let the hook on it break away from the city wall, and then you can run!
So, are we awesome? "
"Awesome, so awesome."
Wang Hao couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
"So, what's that thing over there for?"
Wang Hao asked again, pointing to a pile of scattered things on the side.
"This, this is called a rush car, it is used to hit the city gate. We haven't done it yet.
The rush cart has two big wheels, a frame, and a boom on top. The strongest piece of wood hangs under the boom. The front end of the wood is inlaid with iron blocks to increase the load. The soldiers only need to push the rush cart. When you get to the city gate, you can keep hitting the city gate.
Even if the enemy has many people holding up the city gate, the force of the charging car can break the door shaft of the city gate or shatter the door mortar.
If the iron door mortar is nailed to the city wall, it is possible that the iron door fell off due to the shock.
When the city gate falls, won't we be able to rush directly into the city and engage in close combat with the enemy? "
"Okay, okay, good stuff, good stuff."
Wang Hao couldn't help but give them a thumbs up, praised them repeatedly, and said,
"In the early stage of the siege, we can first use the city-breaking crossbow to attack the city gate, consume a wave first, and then wait for our army to attack the city, and then let the rams go up and slam into the city gate.
Not bad, very good.
When the lord comes, I will definitely introduce it to you and let him see these things with his own eyes. "
"That's necessary. Our Mo family is very powerful. There are also large-scale equipment such as arrow towers and Gan chariots. As long as we are given time, we can build them.
By the way, who invented those city-breaking crossbows you just mentioned, as well as the repeating crossbow and army-breaking crossbow we saw yesterday? They are so amazing. "
"These were all invented by my lord Nie Chen. Every thing was made by his own hands."
"Nie Chen? Isn't he a prince? He can also do these things? Will he do these rough jobs?"
Mo Wan'er said in surprise.
Wang Hao looked at her eyes, shook his head and smiled,
"Girl, please don't underestimate my lord. Let me tell you this. My lord has grown so powerful in just one year.
But do you know what he did for a living? Just by inventing weapons.
He improved his iron-smelting skills, developed refined steel, and invented saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. From then on, the cavalry was a branch of the military, and my lord was also the originator of cavalry tactics.
There are also repeating crossbows, army-breaking crossbows, city-breaking crossbows, and some strange weapons and inventions, all made by the lord.
By the way, there is also Haohan Liquor, which is a distillation technology. The alcohol content is much stronger than before, which makes the barbarians cry. "
"What? Nie Chen is so powerful? I really want to see who is more powerful between him and our Mo family."
Mo Wan'er said a little unconvinced.
Wang Hao smiled and said,
"Let's put it this way, if the war hadn't been taking up my lord's time, my lord would have invented more good things.
You, the Mo family, and our lord must have a lot in common, and you can talk more when the time comes. "
"Okay, it's a deal. He's coming tonight, and you must take us to meet him."
"Okay, it's settled."
Wang Hao nodded and smiled.
On this day, Wang Hao didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the military camp and watched Mo Waner, Mo Xun and the others build siege equipment.
Finally, in the evening, spies from the north came to report that Nie Chen's army had arrived five miles away.
After Wang Hao learned about it, he immediately took his generals and Mo Xun Mo Wan'er to the North City Gate to meet Nie Chen.
After arriving at the North City Gate, the city gate opened and Wang Hao and others went out. After waiting for a while, they saw Nie Chen's vanguard arriving.
The leader is Lin Guang.
"Old Wang! Long time no see. Is there a suitable place nearby for the army to be stationed?"
Lin Guang rode over and asked with a smile.
Wang Hao pointed to the guide and said,
"We haven't seen each other for only four days in total. How come it has been so long? There is a camp left by Ren Jun in the south of the city. You can go in and set up camp directly, and you don't have to cut wood."
"good."
Lin Guang rode back to inform the army.
The army entered the city gate and marched mightily towards the south.
After the front army passed by, not long after, the Chinese army also arrived, and then everyone saw the handsome flag.
A carriage stopped. Nie Chen, Weng Qiuchan, and Ouyang Ming got out of the carriage, followed by all the commanders behind.
"Wang Hao pays homage to the lord!"
Wang Hao saluted Nie Chen.
"Okay, you came out specifically to greet you. Are you afraid that I won't know where you are?"
Nie Chen helped Wang Hao up with a smile.
Mo Xun and Mo Wan'er on the side looked at Nie Chen curiously. They knew that Nie Chen was only in his early twenties and were already mentally prepared. However, they were still surprised when they saw Nie Chen's handsome face, which was comparable to that of Wu Yanzu.
The young man in front of me, who smiles kindly and looks like an elegant young man, is actually a powerful minister in the Gale Kingdom today who holds heavy troops to support the emperor?
Isn't this too inconsistent?
"Old Wang, was this battle hard?"
"It's not hard, it's just a day of fighting yesterday. Last night, Ren Jun was scared away by the lord's army. He ran all night, for fear that he would catch up with you today.
By the way, my lord, when we were defending the city yesterday, luckily we got help from a few righteous men and easily withstood the offensive. Without them, our army would have suffered a lot of casualties, and Ren Jun would not have retreated easily. "
After listening to Wang Hao's words, Nie Chen looked at the two people behind him and said with a smile,
"Are they the two young men behind you? They look like knights and are people from the world?"
