It's just that the Goguryeo people didn't see that the surface of the stone city wall had been cratered and was no longer as smooth as before.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
A soldier put his hands into his sleeves and looked curiously at the exploding ice ball more than 20 meters away.
"Hey, that's not right!"
"Why is the hockey puck so dark today?" ap.
"It's not black at all, it's just a little yellow."
But as more and more ice balls hit the city, some soldiers clearly felt something was wrong.
The soldier who was up to no good carefully went out to get some yellow crushed ice and smelled it.
"Ah, there's big shit in there."
"How disgusting."
"Ugh vomit vomit~~~~!"
Some ice fragments exploded on the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately hid towards the city gate as if they had been electrocuted.
"I'm going to die. I'm throwing a dung ball at the other side."
"Ah, your face..."
"What?"
The soldier touched his face and saw blood on his hands, yellow feces, and a faint stench.
Suddenly the soldier bent over and vomited directly.
Yang Gan stood on the chariot in the distance, instigating Yahuazi.
"too disgusting."
Zhang Yumeng's face turned pale. Thinking of so much feces falling from the sky, she couldn't help but shudder.
Krisna was not much better with Belika. They were only interested in physical attacks. This kind of magical attack was really disgusting and even possessed by horses.
"Yang Qian, I didn't expect you to be so mean and use such a mean trick."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Soldiers are crafty. As long as you can win, you can use any method."
At this time, a messenger ran over and whispered a few words to Yang Gan.
Yang Qian immediately raised his eyebrows and said happily, "Seriously."
"Your Majesty, the goods have arrived at the shore, they just need to be transported over."
"Is there a list?"
The messenger handed a scroll to Yang Qian.
When he opened it, Yang Qian felt happy instantly. The five-digit quantity was enough for use.
"Let Ouyang Moyan come to see me!"
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he took the girls back to the big tent.
Not long after, Ouyang Moyan walked in, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."
"Well, lately, the catapult's accuracy has been pretty good."
Ouyang Moyan said with a smile, "At the beginning, it needs to be adjusted. After you become proficient, all the ice balls can hit the city wall, and a few of them will hit the city wall."
But Yang Gan was a little dissatisfied and said, "I don't have any special requirements now. I just want the hockey puck to not hit outside the moat. Can you do that?"
Ouyang Moyan was stunned. This was the first time he heard such a request.
"Your Majesty, this is easy to solve. Most of the catapults hit the other side of the moat, and only a small part did not hit the moat."
"Apparently those catapults didn't adjust the rope torque properly. I fixed it after a little adjustment."
"How many catapults have been made in the past few days?"
"Ten cars."
Yang Qian was surprised and said, "So many?"
"Your Majesty, the wood has actually been prepared. I am afraid that there will be something wrong with one of the catapults, so if the quantity is small, it can be assembled directly."
Yang Gan rubbed his hands and nodded.
"Okay, okay, let's give the other side a tough dish tonight."
After this period of contact, Ouyang Moyan already knew Junshang's behavior.
Anyway, when you get the opportunity, you will punish your opponent to death. There are endless methods.
Yang Qian, who had almost understood the situation, asked Ouyang Moyan to go down, and also told him to drag out the finished cross catapult and smash it. This new vehicle just needs to be run in.
It's just that there are not enough rubber bands. Yang Qian plans to allocate some from other cities.
Approved.
The reason why the catapult is so powerful is because the rope is twisted with animal sinews, and the ice ball, no, the dung ball can be thrown out with twisting force.
sunset.
After Yang Gan had eaten, he walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky. It was almost night. Except inside the tent, there was no one visible outside.
"Jinghuai."
"The end will be here."
"Sixty catapults were launched on the spot and hit their walls hard. Don't let them get ahead."
"The remaining fifty vehicles will be pushed directly to within a hundred meters of the city. I will be of great use."
"promise!"
Jing Huai went directly to inform the people below.
It was dark at night, and almost every catapult was guarded with braziers.
The soldiers on the city wall crouched under the female wall. When they discovered that the opponent's catapult was advancing, some soldiers began to lose their composure.
"Mo, Master Mo Ke."
"Big things are difficult to solve."
The soldiers on the city wall started yelling and joking. During this time, the distance of several hundred meters was smashed like this.
If those things outside were launched under the city wall, wouldn't it cause disaster within the city?
Mo Ke, who was taking a nap at the gate of the city, stretched out his head to see if there was any dung ball falling from the sky. When he found that there was no dung ball, he immediately ran towards it.
"What's up?"
During this period, he was almost beaten to the point of nervous breakdown, and the defenders could not withdraw. What if they retreated and climbed up?
Don't leave. No one can tell when they will be hit. Some soldiers had their heads smashed in the corners of the ruined walls.
The safest place recognized by all soldiers is the opening under the city gate, but no matter how big the opening is, it cannot accommodate all the defenders.
It can only be used as a temporary command post.
"Lord Mo Ke, look."
The soldiers pointed to the outside of the city wall, everyone started talking, and an atmosphere of fear began to spread.
Seeing dozens of catapults advancing towards this side, Mo Ke was horrified, and his hands pressed against the female wall began to tremble uncontrollably.
There were very few siege battles in Goguryeo, not even catapults. The first time they encountered such siege equipment, they were already frightened. Now they are getting closer. Is this the rhythm of a large-scale attack?
Thinking of this, he became afraid.
"Quick, go and inform Lord Laisa."
"Call everyone up and shoot arrows for me. Shoot everyone next to the brazier to death."
"yes."
A large number of Goguryeo soldiers began to pour into the city wall, some holding javelins and some holding bows and arrows, and began to find their positions.
Although it was a bit noisy, it could be seen from the formation of the defensive army that the defenders of Heshenggu City were indeed elite.
"Light the brazier~~~!"
A large number of braziers on the city wall began to light up.
In such an environment, without the blessing of the brazier, it is basically impossible to see the feather arrows clearly, there is no place to take them, and it may even accidentally injure the robe.
Standing on the chariot, Yang Gan was covered in a black cloak and a red headdress on his head, looking extremely solemn.
Jing Huai hurriedly came over and reported, "Your Majesty, the brazier on the other side's wall is on."
Yang Gan nodded and said, "The sixty catapults behind will be launched in groups of ten. Hit them hard. Don't let them have the chance to kill our catapults."
"promise!"
"Ten catapults in the back row form a team, and only one team is launched at a time."
.......
Military orders began to be passed on.
The soldiers who received the military order began to wind the strings, put in the dung balls, picked up the big hammers, and waited for the order.
"Team 1, let go!"
A sledgehammer strikes a wooden dowel.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Ten dung balls "bang" under the huge kinetic energy and precise calibration
"Bang bang~~" hit the city wall.
Suddenly, the defenders who had just been preparing to fight back were knocked upside down after being hit.
"Team preparation after launch, second team, launch."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Team 3 launches!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang!"
.......
Just like that, ten dung balls began to be fired non-stop. Thousands of defenders on the entire city wall were smashed and their armor was thrown away. The brazier was overturned, and some soldiers were even knocked off the top of the city.
It was already dark, so he could see things because of the torches and braziers. After the brazier on the city wall was smashed upside down, the defenders only heard the sound of "swish, swish, swish", but could not see the trajectory of the dung ball. Immediately, my liver and gallbladder burst into tears, like a bald fly.
The power of the catapult is not only huge destructive power, but also an unparalleled sense of oppression and fear.
Anyone who is mortal will not be afraid once the enemy's catapult is launched.
"Jing Huai, go and ask if the catapult in the front row is ready. If it's ready, just launch it for me."
"promise!"
Jing Huai came to the catapult camp in the front row. It was already quite dangerous here, but the Goguryeo people started to fight back. At a distance of 100 meters, it would be very easy to hit the arrow no matter how bad it was.
For this reason, these catapults are almost covered with large shields, which can at least provide some safety guarantee to the soldiers operating the catapults.
I have to say that the catapult created by the Mo family is really clever and can be operated by five people. It is a pity that Yang Qian also arranged some people.
Each winding operation consumes a lot of physical energy. The two soldiers would spin the wheel once or twice and they would be exhausted. Several rounds of complementation had to be prepared before the catapult could be used perfectly.
"how's it going?"
Arriving at the position, there were now sixty catapults behind them to suppress the area and fight back, but Jing Huai was still a little frightened, so he still held a shield in his hand.
A soldier wearing thick cotton clothes and black armor raised his hands and said, "General Jing, we are ready."
"Is that okay? I heard that you are using a new weapon this time. I wonder how effective it will be?"
The soldier smiled and said, "Although it is a new style, it has not been tested yet. This time it is also your intention. Take it out and test it, and you will know whether it works."
"Well, your Majesty has ordered us to prepare for launch when we are fully prepared."
"promise!"
The soldier held up his hands, came to the middle of the fifty catapults, and shouted.
"Black reload!"
The slingshot driver, who was clearly trained, immediately opened a wooden barrel, took out a wet linen bag from the barrel, and put an oval glass bottle with a black circle about the size of half a water dispenser bucket into the linen bag. , put inside the basket.
Seeing that everyone completed it successfully, the soldier said with some worry.
"Everyone should pay attention to the use of torches. Every time you open a barrel, you need to close it. Otherwise, it will be a big mistake and you will be killed on the spot."
"promise!"
"ignition!"
The torch ignited the linen bag, and suddenly the glass ball inside the shot burned and turned into a fireball.
