Four Thunder Cannons are being assembled one after another.
During this period, although Liu Chan's army spread out and shouted to fight, no one actually came forward.
"What is that?" Yong Jie on the tower looked confused at the strange things being quickly built among the enemy's army.
Behind him, a thin middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar stepped forward and said: "General, look at this from below...it looks like a stone car."
This person's name is Huo Huan, a dog-headed military advisor assigned to him by the family owner. Yongjie usually knows that he has limited knowledge, and although he is mean and unkind, he is not a bad person.
"A stone-making vehicle?" Yong Jie frowned and looked at it, "When you say it, it seems to be a stone-making vehicle...but why does it look different?"
Huo Huan was speechless now. After all, he had never seen such a stone car... What was that thing like a big wheel?
"Ha! Even if it's slightly different, it's just a stone-shooting chariot. Someone also asked what Liu Bei's ability is. He's mysterious but doesn't attack cities. It turns out it's this thing, and there are only four of them!"
Yong Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
He still knows about stone throwing trucks. Two hundred people can throw a stone weighing several dozen kilograms more than a hundred meters, and there are only four of them. What is there to be afraid of?
"Go, order the crossbowmen to prepare to fire arrows to fight back! Once the enemy begins to attack the city, send the cavalry to break out from the south gate and go to the owner of the house to bring reinforcements."
"yes!"
The city tower was high up, so he had an advantage in shooting range. He also had plenty of arrows in the county town, so he didn't have to worry about any stone-launching carts.
Even if the city wall is not very strong, how can your four stone-shooting chariots be able to break it down overnight? At that time, the head of the family and Meng Huo will lead their troops to help, and they will be safe.
Huo Huan frowned and looked at the four guys outside the city who were obviously much larger than ordinary stone carts. There was always an ominous premonition in his heart.
"General, I see that this car is quite strange. It would be better to hang a leather curtain."
Yong Jie smiled and said: "Haha, it's better to be safe, sir, so I'll just follow you."
There was plenty of leather in the city, and naturally a lot of leather curtains were made to guard the city.
"In your opinion, sir, how long can we hold on?"
Huo Huan looked at the uniform appearance of the soldiers outside the city and the murderous military formation, and raised three fingers with a heavy expression.
"It's only been three months?" Yong Jie frowned, "Sir, are you being too conservative? We are fully prepared and it won't be difficult to keep the food and grass in the city for a year and a half."
"It's the 30th...the enemy's army is well-trained, especially the front army where the flag with the character 'Li' is located. It's an elite division at first glance." Huo Huan said seriously, "If the enemy forces attack at all costs, they will not be able to leave." In thirty days, the county will be destroyed."
"Well..." Yong Jie seemed to comfort him, but also seemed to comfort himself, "Even thirty days will be enough for reinforcements to arrive. Sir, there is no need to worry."
Huo Huan nodded and relaxed his brows.
Yes, before, Deng Fang sent 2,000 men to attack and failed miserably, with less than half of them escaping back.
When those untouchables who are afraid of being captured as slaves and plundering their wealth come to harass us from behind, our army will wait for the opportunity to go out of the city to harass them like last time. Even if we cannot defeat the enemy army like last time, it will not be difficult to burn some of their siege equipment.
Thirty days... you should stick to it, right?
…
At this time, the advantage of the high average cultural level of the Red Star Army soldiers was shown.
Ding Feng took the drawings and commanded the Red Star Army reserve team that had practiced disassembly and assembly. Four Thunder Cannons were being assembled with extremely high efficiency.
It would be very laborious if this work were left to the craftsmen to direct ordinary soldiers to do it.
After all, the thunder cannon is much more complicated than the ordinary stone-fired vehicle.
"Prince, the Thunder Cannon has been assembled!" Ding Feng said excitedly. He had seen this big guy test-firing with his own eyes and his memory was still fresh in his mind. At this time, he just wanted to let others take a look.
Zhang Yi looked at the four Lei Gong artillery vehicles. Although they were indeed larger and more complicated than ordinary stone-shooting vehicles, there were only four of them?
"Prince, is this thunder cannon missing a little?"
And it seems that the enemy has also hung up the leather curtains. Coupled with the enemy's bow and arrow harassment, I'm afraid it will take a long time to attack the city with just these four artillery carts...
"Haha, less or more, Bo Gong will know when we see him later." Liu Chan said to Ding Feng, "Have the thunder cannon in position and aim at the east side of the north wall to fire."
"Yes!" Ding Feng, who temporarily served as the artillery captain, immediately directed the soldiers to push the artillery truck forward.
At the same time, the defenders on the tower immediately stood ready. Yong Jie and Huo Huan felt nervous, they were coming!
"...Huh? Why did you stop?" Yong Jie asked doubtfully.
Huo Huan also looked confused. The stone cart was still more than 300 steps away from the tower. It was not within range at all?
Zhang Yi also had the same question in his mind, but this time he chose to wait silently.
Since the prince stopped the artillery truck here, there must be a reason.
"Hey! Hey! Hey..."
Four soldiers came together carrying a large stone.
Zhang Yi and other ordinary soldiers were stunned.
"Isn't this stone weighing 400 kilograms? What is it used for?" (Han Jin)
"Are you stupid? The rocks brought here are of course stone bullets."
"I think you are stupid. How can you have a 400-pound stone bullet! Can you throw it?"
The soldiers of the Red Star Army reserve team did not care about the comments around them. The four soldiers held the handles of the two roulette wheels respectively, and worked together to swing down and bend the throwing arms that had been loaded with weight in advance.
The four soldiers carrying the stone shouted a chant and put the big stone into the arm spoon.
The chatter stopped.
When everyone saw that it was really a stone bullet weighing at least four hundred kilograms, everyone swallowed their saliva and stared nervously at the four thunder cannons.
Ding Feng was particularly excited and went to calibrate the direction of each thunder cannon in person.
"Prince, the thunder cannon is in position!"
Liu Chan waved his hand.
"put!"
As Ding Feng gave an order and pointed his flag in the direction of Cunjian County, the four soldiers on standby immediately lowered their handles!
Boom——!
The sound of the engine shook the heaven and earth, just like a thunder god dropping thunder.
Four huge rocks flew toward Cunjian City, which was more than 300 steps away, at a speed and height beyond everyone's imagination...
Yong Jie was startled by the louder sound than expected, and the four stone bullets seemed to fly higher than expected.
The stone bullets grew larger and larger in his sight.
He was quite calm at first, so what if the range was long, but there were only four...
Wait, why is the rock still getting bigger? Is it a little too big? !
Boom! !
"Ah——!" The feet were shaking like an earthquake, and the unsteady soldiers shouted in horror.
"Legs, my legs!!" There were also screams mixed in with it.
One of the four giant stone bullets hit the city wall, and a crater was immediately created in the weak city wall... And with the crater as the center, spider web-like cracks appeared.
One shot landed on the ground in front of the city wall, and the other shot fell directly into the city.
And there was another shot that unfortunately hit the city wall... it made a hole and then rolled down.
An unlucky guy was directly smashed into meat. If Cheng Yu were here, he might be reminded of his special eating habits...
After another person fell, his legs were run over by a boulder and immediately changed into a strange shape.
What? Leather curtain?
The hanging leather curtain and its wooden frame had long been smashed away.
In front of such a heavy stone bullet, the resistance brought by the leather curtain is not much greater than the force of a fart.
Yong Jie looked at the tragic situation on the tower, and his hands trembled unconsciously... Is this a stone machine? This is a damn stone machine!
Although Huo Huanren was thin, he was unexpectedly calm at this moment.
Facing four powerful stone bullets, he calmly presented his first strategy to Yong Jie in this battle. The strategy was concise and clear, with only seven words:
"General, why not surrender?"
Yong Jie: "..."
Compared to the chaos and shouting on the city tower, the army below the city was eerily silent.
The Red Star Army did so because of military discipline, while the ordinary soldiers looked at the city wall that was shattered by a single blow with their mouths wide open.
Liu Chan immediately tried his best to maintain a majestic expression, but in fact, if someone could hear his heart...
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck..."
During the test firing, the stone projectile penetrated seven feet into the ground. Although it also showed great power, it was still not as shocking as directly hitting the city tower.
"Drive!" Liu Chan immediately rode forward, and the Red Star Saber Shielder immediately stepped forward to protect him.
After getting closer, a loud roar came from his mouth: "A man of the Yong family! If you don't open the city and surrender, do you want to smash the city wall with it?"
【Trigger of drinking stop】
After a few breaths, another prompt appeared in Liu Chan's field of vision.
[Defense breaking trigger]
