Chapter 132: Ballista
The next day, when the sky was bright, the wind wolf guard went to the city of Qizhou, although the number was not large, it was not enough to surround a wall of Qizhou City, but today it was a clear carriage and horse, and it was blatantly called under the city.
Without waiting for the Pinglu army to make too many preparations, the horse step formation was set up, and the strange-looking ballistae were also revealed, and when the wind wolf guard arrived outside Qizhou City, the wind wolf guard was in the camp and began to assemble the ballista machine.
The ballistae built by the Yucheng Craftsman Battalion were designed as a combined structure that could be disassembled and transported and quickly assembled for use on the front line.
Liu Feng also made composite materials for the main structure of the ballista, which was made of iron, copper, steel and wood, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the ballista, the two sets of torsion springs were strictly guaranteed to balance the force.
However, the Pinglu army never knew about all this, under the cover of Wuze Deng Jieyu's deliberate recklessness, Wei Maode was still thinking about the intention of the Wind Wolf Guard, and in his heart, he never thought that the Wind Wolf Guard alone could capture his Qizhou City.
And when the ballista of the wind wolf guard under the city began to fire, it became a little serious.
"Buzz!"
The Wind Wolf Guard did not probe or say hello, and after the ballista was in place, he carried out the first round of stone bullet attacks, and about thirty catties of stone bullets swirled in the air and roared down.
"Boom!"
The stone bullets flew to the inside and outside of Qizhou City with extraordinary accuracy, and in the city wall city, there were stone bullets flying in, the sound of houses collapsing, the sound of Pinglu Army screaming, and the sound of stone bullets hitting the city wall.
When the first stone projectile is fired, it means that the siege is the beginning.
Wei Mao Dru, who had just rested in the city, woke up in a miserable scream, and climbed the city wall together, they would not believe that the Wind Wolf Guard would attack the city, of course, this is also the norm, when there is no absolute certainty between the military towns, they will never rashly capture the cities of other military governments.
Carefully looking at the wind wolf guards under the city, there were neither ladders nor crashing cars, but dozens of strange-looking stone-throwing carts, constantly attacking, and those horsemen around the ballistas were completely attacking, so much more like they had come to humiliate the Pinglu army.
The stone bullets still did not stop, and they were fired at the city without stopping, and in just a moment, they brought certain losses to Qizhou.
Wei Maode calmed his face and said sharply: "A few milky children, how dare they be so arrogant, come here!" Hit a certain stone thrower back! ”
"Whoosh!"
The stone bullets on the city and under the city come and go, the fight is very lively, the stone throwing car on the city occupies the advantage of height, and the ballista of the wind wolf guard under the city is not only light, but also far more accurate than the stone throwing car on the city.
Although the stone bullets flying in the air whistling, but under the city of Qizhou, there is a strange landscape, and there is no siege organized under the city. There were no arrows flying in the city.
Another hour passed, and it was too late, and the ballistae in the Wind Wolf Guard stopped abruptly and stopped firing, but the gunners were still moving around the ballista.
Wei Maode, who had been supervising the battle in the city, did not relax with his subordinates, and stared closely at every move of the Wind Wolf Guard, and the Wolf Guard prepared something with great fanfare, and suddenly felt a little bad.
But he couldn't tell the reason, but he just ordered him to go down, and a battalion of sergeants from other places was transferred and climbed the city wall to prevent accidents.
……
The position of the Wind Wolf Guard under the city.
was hurriedly making all kinds of preparations, in order to go down to Qizhou City for the first battle, Wuze Deng Jieyu did a lot of work, the medicine bag in the gunpowder camp has been hidden, not useful, and the newly established grenadiers have also rested for several hours.
When fighting with the stone throwers of Qizhou City with ballista stone shells, each ballista measured the azimuth strength of their respective projectile packs, but the two-hour stone bullet battle also brought some damage to the ballista of the Wind Wolf Guard.
There were only thirty-four ballistae left, making the final adjustments, Deng Jieyu carefully calculated on the side, thirty-four ballistas, each ballista fired a twenty-kilogram medicine bag, a total of nearly seven hundred kilograms of gunpowder, exploded in a similar amount of time.
Even if the first round could not open the north gate of Qizhou City, there were two full rounds, which would be enough to make the Pinglu army on the city wall frightened.
In the rear formation, Liu Mou also led his sergeants to prepare, each of them was a quick horse, but they also prepared more than a dozen medicine packs, which were used to supplement the ballista siege when it was blocked.
It is precisely because of Liu Mou's bravery yesterday that today's assault order also fell into his hands, which also made him look great among his colleagues.
However, as Liu Jiabao's own family, Liu Mu is not arrogant, he is still carefully doing the final inspection, this is the first time he has to lead the team to complete such an important task, so he attaches great importance to it, and he is also making adjustments.
Wu Ze led the other battalions of the Wind Wolf Guard to prepare for the attack, and when the city gates were wide open, they rushed into the city.
Artillery Commander Deng Jieyu, who was at the ballista, waved the ready order flag, took a deep breath, and nodded to the herald.
Listen only to the sound of trumpets and the beating of war drums.
The fire twist on the medicine bag has also been lit, and with the sound of breaking the air, it flew to Qizhou City.
Wei Maode, who was in the city, was very alert, and when he heard the dull and screaming sound of a stone bullet breaking through the air, he suddenly looked up, only to see a medicine bag with a faint spark, flying straight towards the gate under the city tower.
And there were also medicine bags that flew to the city gate, seeing this, Wei Maode was shocked, although he didn't know what was flying, but such an accurate throw, but he was surprised.
Just as he was about to order everyone under his command to take precautions, he heard a loud rumbling sound, which sounded continuously.
In this loud noise, Wei Maode on the city gate tower was also lifted into the air, and more Pinglu sergeants were injured by the iron nail porcelain pieces in the medicine bag.
Seven hundred catties of fine black gunpowder exploded in the sky above Qizhou, and the city gate tower, which was under key care, collapsed, and the city gate, which had been negligent because of the wind wolf guard, was also blasted open, which saved Liu Mu a lot of trouble.
The entire city of Qizhou fell into a panic, and the soldiers of the city wall section that had not been bombed were sluggish before all this, while the villagers in other parts of Qizhou City only heard the rolling thunder and the earth trembled.
"Kill!!"
The sergeant of the Wind Wolf Guard under the city was also shocked by the movement brought by the medicine bag fired by the ballista, but fortunately, Liu Mou, as the assault forward, reacted in time, shouted loudly, and led the wind wolf under his command to ride straight to the north gate that was bombed.
The wind wolf rider, who had already been prepared, instinctively followed his own head, galloping on his horse, one by one with high spirits and awe-inspiring killing intent.
The smooth was a bit excessive, the Pinglu army in the city was still sluggish, and Wei Maode was blown up and disappeared, so he did not organize a decent counterattack for a while.
It's just that a few of the Pinglu troops who have come to their senses are still dying, shooting a few arrows scattered and counterattacking.
But how could this stop the surging wind wolf horse, the wind wolf guard quickly took control of the north gate and the northern end of the city wall.
