After Su Rong reversed the situation, she bent down to pick up an arrow feather on the ground, and compared it with the arrow feathers in the hands of the Nanchu soldiers, and then compared them with the arrow feathers in the hands of the soldiers she brought from Daliang. This comparison revealed that The arrow feathers of Dawei are lighter and look sharper and slender, but they are extremely tough and have a long range.
She thought that the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty must also be extremely light and lightweight, which were more advanced and powerful than the crossbows of Daliang and Nanchu.
It seems that the Wei Dynasty has indeed done nothing in these years. It has been improving military weapons and enriching the country and strengthening its army.
Ye Guixue was a step slower than Su Rong. After he stepped onto the city wall, Su Rong had already reversed the situation. He saw Su Rong studying an arrow feather, and he immediately walked to her side, "Prince, it's dangerous here. Just stand back and take command from the rear, I'll be here."
Su Rong raised his eyes and looked at Ye Guixue, "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of danger. Although the Wei attack was fierce, Yuan Zhao had 800,000 soldiers and horses, and I had 500,000 soldiers and horses. If he only attacked like this, half of I can't take Heiya Pass in a month, so I'm thinking that Yuan Zhao won't just attack hard."
She handed Da Wei's arrow feathers to Ye Guixue, "Look at this, since Da Wei has improved the crossbows and arrow feathers, what about other weapons? Will they also be improved?"
Ye Guixue took the arrow feathers and immediately looked solemn when she heard this, "It's hard to say."
"It has been sixteen or seventeen years since the Wei Dynasty signed the contract with Daliang. For so many years, if the Wei Dynasty has been researching and improving weapons and concealed them very well, then it is not just for bows and crossbows. I am afraid there are other powerful things. ." Su Rong said.
Ye Guixue nodded, "Because the Nangong family colluded with the Wei Dynasty, Ye Xiangfu also secretly buried hidden stakes in the Wei Dynasty, but the hidden stakes could not be inserted into the weapons monitor of the Wei Dynasty, so no information about the improvement of the weapons of the Wei Dynasty was sent back. information."
"It's normal. If it was easily detected, Wei would not be so wealthy and powerful." Su Rong felt that although she had never underestimated Wei, she might still have underestimated him.
Sure enough, when she finished speaking, the Wei Dynasty saw that the situation had reversed, so he simply changed his siege cannons and began to attack the city. There were six siege cannons in total. As soon as the rumbling sound came out, the walls of Heiyaguan City felt like the sky was shaking.
Su Rong's expression changed instantly.
Ye Guixue's expression also changed drastically.
The two looked at each other and stepped forward together. They saw a large cannon barrel clamped on a device similar to a siege vehicle. There were more than ten Wei soldiers pushing it behind. Two of them were shaking the iron locks one to the left and the other to the right. , a fireball will shoot out from inside, and then the city gate will be blown up, rumbling and shaking.
"This thing must be destroyed immediately." Ye Guixue said immediately.
Su Rong nodded, "It must be destroyed, otherwise no matter how strong the black iron city gate or the huge stone wall is, it will not be able to withstand such an attack."
This barrel fires one round, and has to pause for a long time before firing the second round. The siege vehicle is clumsy, and the siege cannon installed on the siege vehicle is not very flexible, but such a new military weapon, even if it is a bit clumsy and inconvenient, It's flexible, but it's enough to frighten people.
Except for the Wei Dynasty, Nanchu and Daliang did not have such a thing.
Before that, Daliang and Nanchu didn't get the slightest news.
Su Rong thought that Yuan Zhao had withdrawn his troops at the border between Daliang and Wei earlier. Did he feel that it was not the right time to take out this thing at that time? Now she is using it in Nanchu.
Su Rong gritted his teeth and said to Ye Guixue: "You are responsible for staying on the city wall and making arrangements. I will lead the people to open the city gate and fight out."
"Absolutely not!" Ye Guixue was shocked: "Not to mention the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, it is this siege cannon. Once it is hit, you have also seen it. Flesh and blood will fly everywhere. It is really dangerous. I should be the one to go. go."
Su Rong raised his hand to stop him, "The soldiers can't resist. You lead the people to resist for a while. I won't rush out immediately after I get down. I will make preparations and lead the hidden guards before I fight out. They must be destroyed." Without these siege guns, we wouldn’t be able to last even half a month and three days.”
"Princess!" Ye Guixue grimaced and shook her head resolutely, "I will go too."
Su Rong also grimaced, "Master Ye, this is an order."
Ye Guixue was silent for a moment, but still looked at Su Rong resolutely, "I forgive you for not accepting the order."
Su Rong laughed angrily, "Okay, Ye Guixue, do you think I'm the princess? You call me nice, but in your heart you don't think I can order you, do you?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "No, the princess should understand that among your thousands of gold, I cannot allow you to take risks alone."
"Who said we were alone?" Su Rong said, "I will lead all the secret guards."
"To defend the city here, there is no need for me to defend it personally. Brother Ning Ze, Brother Zhang Mao, and Brother Jiang Zhu can all defend the city. I will go out with the princess to remove these siege cannons."
Su Rong looked back.
Ning Ze immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, Princess, the three of us can defend the city wall."
Su Rong looked at him and said amusedly: "How many people can you kill on this city wall with your little skills? Go to the rear and arrange for rolling thunder stones and the like. The more the merrier."
Ning Ze suddenly choked, fainted, and whispered: "I'm not that useless. I just killed... three Wei soldiers."
"You killed three soldiers and let Jiang Zhu and Zhang Mao save you twice." Su Rong pointed out.
Ning Ze suddenly fell silent, immediately threw away the sword in his hand, got off the city wall, and ran to dispatch.
Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't worry, Princess, we can hold the city wall."
Su Rong nodded, no longer arguing with Ye Guixue, and said to the two of them, "Okay, then I'll leave this place to you."
After saying that, she turned around and walked down the city wall.
Ye Guixue explained to Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu, changed the defensive strategy according to Wei's siege strategy, and then followed Su Rong down the city wall.
As soon as the two of them walked on the city wall, they immediately relaxed a little. Jiang Zhu shouted sharply, "Guard the city wall and don't let up."
He swung his sword and killed a Wei soldier who rushed up the city wall. Zhang Mao also shouted fiercely, and the two of them worked together to block the gap that the Wei soldier had just briefly opened.
Jiang Zhu and Zhang Mao were initially overwhelmed by the ferocious siege force of the Wei Dynasty, and the soldiers of Nanchu were the same. Now, Su Rong alone reversed the situation on the tower in a short time. Xue redesigned the defense strategy according to Wei's siege strategy, giving them a backbone. Although the sound of the six siege cannons and the light of fire under the city made people dizzy, they were no longer frightened. He calmly commanded the soldiers to fight with the soldiers of Wei to defend the city wall.
The soldiers woke up together and did not dare to relax anymore. They quickly blocked the gap and protected the entire city wall airtight, so that Wei soldiers who used human ladders to climb up the city wall could not succeed.
