Chapter 504: Trebuchet

What is the situation of an army of more than 50,000 people, neatly arranged below?

In later generations, the fixed seats of the bird's nest were 80,000, and the Shence army was 50,000 soldiers, plus war horses, which can be described as full of mountains and fields, and the vast sea of people cannot be seen.

Banner hunting, like a peerless beast waiting for the best time to hunt for food.

Zhu Wen, who was standing on the head of Guancheng City and looking down, only felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if he was being choked by a pair of invisible big hands, and it was difficult to breathe.

He regretted coming to oversee the battle.

The original idea was that the commander personally supervised the battle, which could boost the morale of the soldiers, but now it seems that when the war starts, I am afraid that my life will be in danger.

But since they have all come up, there is absolutely no chance to go down now, otherwise what if the soldiers can't think of it?

"This ...... This is the Divine Army?" Zhu Wen was in a trance, as if he saw the heavenly soldiers and generals covering the sky, the momentum was magnificent, and when he went to that station, a bad aura came to him.

No way!

How could the decaying Li Tang court have such a powerful army?

This must be fake!

Looking at this momentum, as far as the eye can see, there is silence, all the soldiers, including the war horses, are waiting for the order of their superiors, without an order, no one dares to take half a step forward. This momentum alone is enough to crush the rabble on the head of Guancheng City.

Those soldiers and generals reacted more than Zhu Wen, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, and their legs and feet were weak.

Mother, this, this is the legendary Shence Army?

Before, they were still thinking that Zhang Quanyi, that waste, actually fled without a fight in the face of the Shence Army, and he really lost the face of the Xuanwu Army, and he must make the people of the Shence Army look good and save the face of the Xuanwu Army.

But at this moment, none of them had the same idea as before, and they regretted taking on this mission.

It's a pity that deserters on the battlefield are going to be beheaded for public display, and no one dares to really turn around and run away for a while.

"Why isn't such an army that is forbidden in its own hands?"

Zhu Wen was indignant in his heart.

If you can master this army, won't the world be at your fingertips?

He finally understood why the imperial court dared to start a war with a number of feudal town envoys in a row, this is the idea of fighting to raise war, with the strength of the divine army in front of him, I am afraid that there is no feudal town army in the world that can compete with it.

If this army is allowed to run rampant, within three years, the world will be surnamed Li again.

……

Li Xun rode a high war horse and lined up in front of the battle. Looking at the city coldly, he could vaguely see the person in the middle of the crowd, and immediately stepped out of the battle.

"Huh?" Zhu Wen frowned slightly at the head of the city, squinted slightly and still couldn't see clearly, so he turned his head and asked the person next to him, "Who is that?"

The guard next to him replied: "It's Li Xun, one of the main generals of the Shence Army." ”

Zhu Wen snorted lightly, to be honest, he still looked down on it in his heart.

When there are no heroes, make the shaft famous.

Li Xun rode his horse and left the battle for about twenty steps, then he was full of breath and shouted at the head of the city: "Zhu Quanzhong, you intend to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, it is better to be arrested obediently." If you know each other and order your soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender, read it to you and my colleagues, and this general can also ask Your Majesty to spare your life, otherwise, Li Maozhen and Han Jian's fate is just around the corner!"

The sound reached the city clearly, causing quite a commotion.

"Zhu Wen angrily slammed on the guardrail at the head of the city, his face distorted, and he wanted him to surrender without a fight?

Dream!

Immediately he roared angrily: "Someone, where is the archer, shoot me, shoot him!"

A row of archers rushed up from behind, took arrows and bent bows, and all aimed at Li Xun under the city, and suddenly loosened the strings.

"General be careful!" Seeing this, the guards behind Li Xun rushed up in surprise.

Li Xun naturally saw it, but he was not afraid, and smiled coldly, he had expected Zhu Wen to react like this, but fortunately, he was standing outside the range of the archers, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

Since the negotiations have failed, let's storm it!

Li Xun turned the horse's head, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and trotted a few steps back into the camp of the Shence Army.

The arrows of the archers of the Xuanwu Army at the head of the city fell from the sky to the ground, and the farthest one was still twenty paces away from the Shence Army.

"With this ability, you still want to shoot General Ben?" Li Xun smiled contemptuously.

There were bursts of laughter and boos in the Shence army.

At the head of the city, Zhu Wen's face was pale.

When the laughter stopped, Li Xun had an indifferent expression and raised his hand: "Since Zhu Yi is stubborn and refuses to surrender, then he has no choice but to attack." ”

"Herald! Prepare to attack!"

As the high trumpets sounded, there was a commotion and confusion in the city, followed by a rumbling of drums that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Zhu Wen's heart tightened.

"Pull the trebuchet up!" Li Xun rode on horseback and gave the order in an orderly manner.

"Yes!"

After the order was given, the rear baggage battalion immediately sent a group of soldiers, carrying various equipment and rushing to the front, a total of ten trebuchets, with the concerted efforts of the soldiers, quickly assembled.

At first, Zhu Wen was still puzzled when he saw the Shence Army blowing trumpets and drums but not moving, but when he saw the ten tall and strange shelves erected in the front row of the Shence Army, his face suddenly changed greatly.

I don't know who shouted first: "It's a trebuchet!"

The surrounding soldiers were in an uproar, and their hearts were cold.

With this thing, can the city really be defended?

The Xuanwu Army, which was originally full of confidence, fell into self-doubt at this moment.

That's right, this is the secret weapon prepared by the Shence Army, it doesn't matter if Chen Jingle can't get artillery, and the power of the trebuchet is not bad.

The principle of the trebuchet is to use the principle of levers and the gravity of the counterweight to eject, and in the era when gunpowder was not used on a large scale, it was an absolute battlefield killer.

Li Xun learned a lot of tactics from Chen Jingle and understood that he should suppress the enemy with as much powerful output as possible. There will definitely be deaths in battle, but they are not willing to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, every soldier of the Shence Army is a baby pimple, and the death of one is a huge loss.

Therefore, powerful weapons and equipment are like life-saving weapons for soldiers to Li Xun

"Hit me! Hit the city!" Li Xun shouted loudly.

The 30-pound boulder, in a 45-degree parabola, flew towards the head of Guancheng, cutting through the air in mid-air, and making a sharp tiger roar.

The people at the head of the city were so frightened that they could only watch as the stones grew from small to large and smashed against themselves.

"Help!"

"Don't!"

"Ahh

Rumble!

The first boulder fell, the head was good, it happened to fall in the crowd at the head of the wall, several soldiers dodged in time, and were hit by dozens of pounds of stones, their heads and bodies were smashed to pieces, and the brains and flesh were splashed with blood, and many of them splashed on Zhu Wen's face, making him chills all over, and his eyes were full of fear.

Rumble!

The second boulder fell, this time it didn't work, it only landed on the city wall, and everyone only felt a shock, but they did not breathe a sigh of relief, but their hearts trembled more and more, as if this boulder was smashed on their hearts.
