It turns out those weird-looking things are siege engines built by Han craftsmen! "The speaker was a bearded Mongolian Taiji in the big tent.
He sat closest to Su Nang, and although his voice was not loud, Su Nang could hear it all.
"Hu Qitu, do you have any objections to the siege engines of Ji's army?" Su Nang asked coldly.
The Mongolian Taiji Huqitu who had spoken before hurriedly stood up and said: "I have no objection, I just think those siege vehicles look weird and are very different from the siege vehicles I have seen before."
Azlan, who was not far away, said: "Taiji, I have seen those siege vehicles. They are too simple and rough. They are just made of a few wooden boards. Let our warriors use these things to attack the city. I'm worried that we won't be able to defend ourselves against the bombardment of the fort."
Many Taijis around nodded in agreement with Arslan's words.
They had also seen those so-called siege vehicles, which were too crude, and they did not believe that they could withstand the bombardment in the fort.
"Dear Taijis." Wo Lunkuo stood up and said, "Though those siege vehicles are crude in appearance, they are indeed specially built by Han craftsmen to withstand artillery bombardment. They are naturally very different from ordinary siege vehicles. .”
Arslan said: "Even if it is different, it is too crude! It's just a few wooden boards placed on top of the cart. How can people believe that this thing can withstand shelling?"
"The Han people can't be trusted. Taiji, you can't let those Han people fool you." Hu Qitu said to Su Nang.
Although the other Taijis in the tent did not speak, they all showed expressions of disapproval of the siege vehicles.
Su Nang frowned and said: "Since you think that the Han craftsmen under Ji's hands are not trustworthy, then you can think of a way to withstand the bombardment in the fort, or build a siege vehicle that can withstand the bombardment. .”
As his words fell, the tent became quiet for a moment.
After a while, Arslan suddenly said: "Everyone on the left and right has nothing to do. It is better to wait for Kankantada Taiji and Batutaiji to come and find a way to solve the cannon issue together."
After saying this, Taiji in the big tent nodded in agreement.
Su Nang looked grim and said in a cold voice: "Since you all have nothing to do, then follow Ben Taiji's method and use siege vehicles built by the Han to attack the fort."
"Taiji, just wait!" Arslan advised.
Su Nang glanced at it coldly and said: "This time Bentaiji decided not to fill in the moat, but to use siege vehicles to open the way. The vanguard of the army followed behind and directly used ladders to cross the river on both sides of the moat."
"This..." Arslan's expression changed.
He is the vanguard of the Mongolian army. Once there is no need to fill the moat, he and his tribal warriors will use these siege vehicles to attack the city.
Sure enough, Su Nang looked at Arslan and said, "You are the vanguard of the army. Tomorrow your tribe will attack the city, and the three siege vehicles will also be left to your use."
"Taiji..."
Before Azilan said the next words, Su Nang said: "This matter has been settled. Whoever dares to disobey this Taiji's military order tomorrow will have his tribe handed over to the other Taijis in the tent."
In one sentence, Arslan's possibility of disobedience was cut off.
Arslan's face looked very ugly.
Once he disobeyed, he believed that the other Taijis present would never let go of the opportunity to annex his tribe in an honest way.
Su Nang said to Azilan: "It will be up to you to attack the city tomorrow. If you capture the fort with the Tiger Flag, I will allow your tribe to go inside and select some of the goods first as a reward for your tribe to be the vanguard." .”
"I will definitely live up to Taiji's expectations." Arslan gritted his molars and agreed.
Taiji from the main camp was summoned to the big tent to discuss matters in order to decide on the attack on the Tiger Flag Dunbao tomorrow. Now that the matter was settled, Taiji in the tent left the big tent one after another, preparing to return to their tribes to prepare for the attack tomorrow. City matter.
Arslan walked out of the tent with a gloomy face.
"Taiji, wait a minute." Wo Lunkuo chased him out of the tent.
Arslan turned around and said with an ugly face: "I have promised Su Nang that I will be the vanguard of the army tomorrow, and I will never go back on it."
"Tai Ji misunderstood, I came here because of these three siege vehicles." Wo Lunkuo pointed to the siege vehicles not far away and said, "My Tai Ji said that these three siege vehicles are all Leave it to Taiji and you can take it away now."
Arslan glanced at the three so-called siege vehicles, his face became more and more ugly, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Go back and tell Su Nang that I know, and I will send people to take these things away soon." .”
Speaking of the latter, he didn't even mention the siege vehicles. In his mind, these three things were not considered siege vehicles at all.
Wo Lunkuo said with a smile: "If Taiji is in a hurry, I can also have these siege engines sent over."
"Okay, you can send it there!" After Arslan said, he went directly to his horse, got on it and left.
He didn't like these three things called siege vehicles, and he didn't really believe that these things could resist the bombardment. But other than that, there was no better way to withstand the bombardment. He could only use these things Take it away and give it to the people of your tribe, hoping that these things can really prevent bombardment.
Wo Lunkuo called some Mongolian soldiers outside the big tent and asked them to send three siege vehicles to Arslan.
the next day.
The horn sounded, and the Mongolian army once again set out to gather on the grassland a few miles away from the fort.
Su Nang rode in front of the army, looking at the fortress waiting in front, and said: "Arslan, it depends on you as the vanguard next. Now the siege vehicles are ready. If we can't take the fort in front of us, I will surely cure your offence."
"Taiji, don't worry, Arslan will definitely break the fort and lead the army into the city." Arslan said solemnly.
Although he had no confidence in those siege vehicles, the army was about to go out, and he could not question the general Su Nang at this time and do something that would destroy his own morale.
"Okay, let's go!" Su Nang waved his hand.
Azlan rode his horse and galloped towards the left wing of the army.
Over there, his tribe had already prepared, with three siege vehicles in front, followed by Mongolian soldiers carrying ladders.
Su Nang turned his head and said to Wo Lunkuo: "Is Mr. Han here?"
"Here he is, right behind him. Do you want to bring him over?" Wo Lunkuo asked.
Su Nang thought for a while and said: "Bring him here. This time the siege mainly relies on his siege vehicles. It is just right for him to see with his own eyes whether the siege vehicles he built can withstand the bombardment in the fortress."
Wo Lunkuo turned and left.
Soon, Han Laoer and Tian Sanshui were brought to the front of the Mongolian army, standing in front of Su Nang's horse like two auxiliary soldiers leading their horses.
