Chapter 314: Strength Exposed

"Hey, hey! I'm aiming! Don't let any of them go! There are no catapults, no arrow towers, waiting for these dogs to fill with their lives! Xue Wanliang smiled fiercely and shouted loudly at the soldier who was operating the ballista.

Looking at the tall siege weapons, in his eyes, they were live targets, ignoring the enemies who were getting closer and closer, and he only had those large weapons in his eyes.

"Wait, when they're placed, it's time for us to do it!" Without binoculars, you can see the enemy in the distance, immobilizing the catapult. Xue Wanliang felt that the muscles all over his body were trembling, and he really couldn't help but want to shoot a crossbow himself. This is the nature of men, for any powerful weapon, they like it in their hearts, they want to have it, and they even hate to hold it in their arms at any time.

Wang Fubao looked at the attacking soldiers, constantly falling under the bow and arrows, and wanted to immediately let the catapult smash the arrow tower. Frowning and looking left and right, he was relieved to see that the catapult had begun to be placed.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I have observed the other side, although they have excellent weapons and armor, but there are not many real soldiers, we have more than 100,000 people, and we can take it no matter what." Gao Shixing smiled and explained.

"I hope so!" Wang Fubao suppressed his heart and said uneasily.

"Definitely... What is it! As soon as Gao Shixing was about to speak, a smile froze on his face, and he looked at the battlefield in front of him dumbfounded.

Because of the distance, he only knew where the catapult was, and it was not clear where it was caused.

Of course, this was the attack of the catapult, and when their catapult was just about to be placed, Xue Wanliang ordered the arrows to be released, and the thumb-thick crossbow arrows were aimed at the catapults, covering the past.

Wang Fubao's catapult, the soldiers only heard a roar, and then one catapult after another collapsed, of course, there were many soldiers who were unjustifiably affected, were pierced by crossbow arrows, and lay on the ground howling.

Wang Fubao and Gao Shixing looked closely, only to find that the catapult had been attacked, and before they knew what they were attacking, and without waiting for them to respond, the second wave of respectful arrived at the catapult again.

Both of them are "veterans", and when they think about it, they know that they were attacked by the bed horse, because at this distance, only the bed horse can attack, although the distance is much farther than theirs.

"It's... This... Where do you get so many beds! Inferred from the intensity of the attack, Gao Shixing said dumbfounded.

You know, in his mind, the bed is the kind of guy who needs to be transported by a big carriage and needs dozens of people to work together, and it is not bad to defend the city, and it is completely unnecessary to transport it to the wild.

If it is a field battle, not to mention how many people are needed to operate, just the loading speed, it can kill people urgently, and use so many manpower and material resources to pursue a lethality, this is really unnecessary, unless it is an army of hundreds of thousands of troops, it can be brought with it.

Now Zhang Zhongjian is defending and getting out of the bed, although he is surprised, but it is not too strange, the key is to deal with a hundred catapults, and there are too many beds, after all, this thing is not like a bow and arrow, and the accuracy is not so easy to control.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred catapults were scattered, how many beds would it take to do it, five hundred or a thousand?

Wang Fubao watched as the 100 catapults, which were the killer tools, were shot into a pile of waste materials, and the soldiers in charge of the catapults were either nailed to the ground or injured by the catapults, and only a few escaped.

Just when Wang Fubao was trembling with anger, the bulky arrow tower had just approached the front line, and was targeted by the ballista again.

Although most of the crossbow arrows will shoot into the gap between the catapults and the arrow tower, as long as one hits, it means that a pillar is broken, and the instrument made of pure wood is broken two, and the result can be imagined, the tall arrow tower fell, stirring up a lot of dust, and the nearby soldiers screamed and hugged their heads and rats, and the archers above the arrow tower fell and injured countless people.

"Collect the troops?" Gao Shixing said dejectedly.

Looking at the chaotic front-line battlefield, Wang Fubao asked weakly, "Do you say you can still fight it?" ”

"Can you still beat it down?" Gao Shixing also asked himself silently in his heart, and then shook his head violently, he knew that this was impossible, without engineering equipment, he really took human lives to fill in the few fortifications that had been built, I am afraid that it would not be enough to fill in by himself.

"Collect the troops!" Wang Fubao waved his hand weakly.

"Brother Wang, can you see how many beds there are?" Gao Shixing asked, turning his stiff neck.

"There should be thousands! Now the key, whether they have five hundred or a thousand beds, how do we fight? I can't help it. Wang Fubao asked bitterly.

"Brother Wang, you have no choice, and I have no choice but to report. Fight or not, wait for Your Majesty to make a decision! Gao Shixing took a deep breath and said.

"That's all there is to it!" Wang Fubao nodded in agreement.

The two returned to the camp and immediately had the crossbow arrows used to attack the catapult and the arrow tower over.

Looking at the crossbow arrows on the desk, the two of them couldn't help frowning, and Wang Fubao said: "This crossbow arrow..."

"Smaller! Shorter! Gao Shixing took over and said.

"Not bad!" Wang Fubao nodded.

"This means that their ballista is smaller! That is, it is lighter and easier to transport! Gao Shixing analyzed.

"Hmmm! It seems that Jinyang's various siege equipment is better than ours. Wang Fubao took a deep breath and said.

"This is not surprising, after all, there are craftsmen in the imperial court, and there are all masters! You can see He Shaofu! Just him, our catapult, is better than the others! Gao Shixing said.

"He Shaofu is indeed a capable person, but it's a pity that when he sent an envoy to Jinyang, there was no news!" Wang Fubao shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, hey! There is no news, not necessarily! Gao Shixing sneered.

"What have you heard, brother?" Wang Fubao frowned and asked puzzled.

"It is said that He Shaofu was killed by Jinyang, but in fact, the real reason is that Zou Changfeng cherishes talents and keeps He Shaofu strong." Gao Shixing recently collapsed.

"Where did you hear that? Didn't you say that Zou Changfeng, along with the escorts, was harmed together? Wang Fubao asked in surprise.

"The news came back just to forcibly detain He Shaofu, and the escort at that time, one of them was my fellow villager, because he longed for the life of Jinyang, so he told me in private, and he didn't expect to talk about it because of this!" Gao Shixing explained.

"You mean..."

"That's right, that's what you think, Brother Wang! Some people are worried about carrying a name with eyes and no beads, so they secretly execute the killers and the escorts! By the way, the blame is planted! Gao Shixing nodded and said.

"It's... This... Even if Zou Changfeng values He Shaofu, His Majesty doesn't need to kill people! Wang Fubao said dumbly.

"Then it depends on how much He Shaofu is used!" Gao Shixing said uncontrollably.

"Oh! In this way, He Shaofu has already come out of Jinyang! ”

"Yes, it is said that He Shaofu is in charge of building a large reservoir! Specifically, my fellow villager didn't inquire. Gao Shixing replied.

"Senior brother, you said that your fellow villager yearns for the life of Jinyang? What is life like in Jinyang? Is it really that good? Wang Fubao asked curiously.

"In the past, it was all hearsay, but this time it's really my fellow countryman, and I saw it with my own eyes! According to him, now in Jinyang, ordinary people, every household lives in a blue brick house! Like the coal we use, the people over there are using it, and the price is extremely low!

Not only that, but I heard that the government also prepared poultry cubs such as chickens and ducks for the people, and the people only needed to provide some labor to get them for free. Gao Shixing smacked his lips and sighed.

"Hehe, how do I feel like I'm listening to a story, these words seem to be the same as those of the merchants!" Wang Fubao laughed.

"I was skeptical at first, but when I think about it, it's not impossible. After all, in the past two years, there have been a lot of good things in Jinyang, glass mirrors, utensils, and white paper! There are so many good things that are sold, what about their own use? Gao Shixing asked meaningfully.

In other words, we're just the tip of the iceberg! More stuff that simply can't be seen! Wang Fubao said thoughtfully.

"Nope! I've seen it! Gao Shixing looked at the desk and raised his chin.

"Yes, Jinyang's weapons, armor, equipment, and even some small objects are better than ours!" Wang Fubao picked up a Mitsubishi nail and nodded and said.

This Mitsubishi nail was brought back to Wang Fubao by those unlucky soldiers who stepped on their feet, luckily did not die, and brought them back to Wang Fubao.

"This one is called thistle, and I don't know how they got so many." Gao Shixing rubbed his forehead and said.

In the absence of a mold, if you want to make this kind of Mitsubishi nails, you can only beat them by hand, even if you don't pursue perfection, you can get them one by one, and the speed can't be fast, so he doesn't understand very much, how can Zou Yu let people do so much, isn't this a waste of blacksmiths? With that time and energy, you can make a lot more weapons and armor.

"This only shows that they have a lot of iron ore! And it's a lot! This thing doesn't test skills, even if it's an ordinary person, as long as the blacksmith gives a little guidance. It can also be made. Wang Fubao said solemnly.

"Brother Wang is right!" Gao Shixing agreed.

"General Qiyu! Big things are not good! A soldier shouted anxiously outside the tent.
