Chapter 478: Ogil burns Xinye

……………………………………

Although he saw the military appearance and military formation of the Eighth Division, Lu Gong wanted to say to Ogil: "Take it, take it, don't bother me with these mundane things." ”

However, as Liu Biao's henchman, the Jingzhou Army confronted the forefront general of the Han Zheng Army, and it was impossible for Lu Gong to surrender without letting go of a fart and an arrow, right? Therefore, after the Eighth Division's request to take over Xinye was refused, Ogille immediately gave the order to storm Xinye.

Storm?

Well......

Instead of ordering the soldiers to rush to the city, let's start with a stone thrower!

The army formation of the Eighth Division did not move, but countless stone bullets suddenly flew out from the right rear of the army formation and smashed towards Xinye Castle. Xinye naturally also has a stone thrower, so Lu Gong ordered to fight back, and he saw that the sky was full of stone bumps flying around.

However, Shinno's stone thrower is a wooden frame called a "cannon rack", on which a wooden pole called a "cannon tip" is erected, with a rope tied to one end and a stone bullet at the other end, and then a person pulls the rope down sharply, using the principle of levers to raise the "cannon tip" high and throw the stone bullet.

This kind of stone throwing machine is simple to manufacture and easy to launch, but there is one ...... Fee! There are dozens of people, and hundreds of people are at large, and everyone has to work together to shout: one, two, three, go you!

The stone thrower used by the Han Zhengjun relied on torsion and elasticity, and the cannon tip was first tightly twisted by the "noose" made of many ropes, standing on the "cannon frame", like a telephone pole straight and straight towards the sky. When using, use the winch to pull down the "cannon tip", hook the machine bracket, put the stone bullet, and then hit the machine bracket hard, the "gun tip" will immediately bounce up, and throw the stone bullet out.

Not only that, this kind of "torsion stone throwing machine" actually adds a lot of black technology.

First of all, the bottom of its "cannon frame", the front end of the "noose", is installed with a set of springs, when the "gun tip" is pulled down, the spring group will be compressed, and when the stone thrower is launched, the spring group will release the elastic force at the same time, so it is said to be torsion plus elastic force.

Secondly, its "cannon tip" is not made of wood, but is made of many layers of bamboo strips pressed together. When the "cannon tip" is pulled down by the winch torque to approach the horizontal position, the soldier will continue to pull the bamboo tip downward, using the toughness of the bamboo to make it look like a bent, wound giant bow.

Therefore, when operating this "torsion stone throwing machine", there will be ten soldiers, divided into left and right sides, to twist the winch together, and at the same time, another ten soldiers are also pulling the bamboo cannon tips together. It is conceivable that when it is launched, it will be like a swaying bamboo, in addition to returning to a vertical position, it will continue to make a projectile action forward, adding another oil to the stone projectile!

Compared with the "manpower stone thrower" of Xinye City, the "torsion stone thrower" of Han Zhengjun actually has a disadvantage.

First, the stone projectile that can be ejected is not that large, because the value of torque and elastic force is basically fixed, and the larger the stone projectile, the closer the projectile distance. However, the stone throwing machine in Shinno Castle can change the size of the stone projectile or the throw distance by changing the number of people.

Second, the throwing speed of Han Zhengjun's stone thrower is actually not as fast as that of Xinye City, after all, they only need to loosen the rope and pull the rope.

But, so but, compared with 20 people controlling a stone thrower and more than 100 people controlling a stone, who is superior to whom

What about the inferior? And Han Zhengjun's stone thrower is much better than the stone thrower in Xinye City in terms of throwing distance, and it can even go dozens of steps away.

"And again", Han Zhengjun's stone thrower still has a wheel, which can be pulled and run around......

…………

The two sides bombarded each other for a whole day, and in the morning, Shinno City's counterattack was still very fierce, but in the afternoon it was significantly weakened, not necessarily the stone throwers were destroyed, or it was just that the soldiers responsible for pulling the stone throwers were really tired.

Another point worth noting is that the stone throwers in Xinye City can't be placed on the head of the city, so many people pull the rope together, and then squeeze a few from the city head, what should I do? So you have to put it behind the wall, and then the stone projectile flies over the wall and smashes it out. Because of the advantage of "throwing", the stone projectile can not only hit the city, but can even cross the city wall and smash into the city.

Well, to put it bluntly, in fact, no one on either side can see anyone, and they are all blind. But while being blind, we also have to explore experience and master technology, such as observing where the opponent's stone bullet was thrown from, and then we will smash it there.

Finally, the sky gradually darkened, and the Shinno defenders, who had been smashed all day, said in their hearts: Almost, right? You guys have to have enough to go crazy, so let's go back to dinner!

However, on the side of the Han Zhengjun, as if he had just smashed some meaning, the division commander Ojile personally ran to the stone throwing machine position and asked urgingly: "How is it, how is it?" It's been a day of practice, maybe? ”

Brigade Commander Lu Kuang didn't dare to pat his chest and promise, and said vaguely: "It should be about the same." The key is how long the lead is reserved and how far it will be thrown before it explodes, which we have to test and error. ”

Ogille didn't care about this, and immediately reprimanded: "Such a precious treasure, and let you try it again? I'm telling you, you have to up! Otherwise, the commander can't spare me, and I can't spare you! ”

In desperation, Lu Kuang had to grit his teeth and say, "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

The atmosphere on the catapult position suddenly became tense, Lu Kuang first ordered the three stone throwers to be wound at the same time, in a state of readiness, and then under the ardent expectation of everyone, he saw three soldiers carefully carrying three ...... Glazed jars.

In fact, the jar is not big, and it is not too heavy, so careful, maybe just because it is glazed?

Watch as the three soldiers put the "glass bullet" on the "firing spoon", then lift the lid and pull out a long lead. Lu Kuang took a deep breath and resolutely ordered: "Ignition...... Put! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, the three "glass bullets" drew a perfect arc in mid-air and headed straight for the head of Xinye Castle.

Burst...... The first one was missed.

To be exact, before he could fly to the top of the city, he fell in front of Shinno Castle and shattered.

Ogil just wanted to be anxious, but he saw that the second one directly hit the gate building of Xinye City, and it seemed that the roof of the building had leaked and fell directly into it.

Everyone didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly heard a loud "bang", although the city gate building was not blown down, but it instantly ignited a raging fire!

Immediately afterward, the third glass bullet crossed the city wall and was about to disappear before it could be seen by everyone, but it actually exploded in mid-air, scattering a rain of fire in the sky. At the same time, the glass bullet that had fallen in front of Xinye Castle and shattered also sounded, and the sound was not loud, as if it was a stink, but it also ignited a sea of fire.

…………

Well, such a high-end and high-grade new weapon is naturally not the work of one person. The king made a fuss that the fierce fire oil would run, and the longer it was left open, the less it would be; Zhuge Liang said that if the gunpowder is not powerful enough, it may not be able to explode; Liu Hanshao said that we will all use glass to make cans and bottles, if we make it thicker, it can be used to hold fierce fire oil, and the glass fragments after explosion are also extremely sharp, and they can also hurt people, how good.

So, the three masters and apprentices jointly made the first batch of glass bullets in Dahan!

Because there is not much fierce fire oil brought by Wang Nao, high-end goods such as "glass bullets" are also extremely rare...... To be exact, there were only three of them in Ogille's hand.

However, it was these three glass bullets that caused a fire to ignite at the same time up and down the castle and outside the city, as if the entire Shinno Castle was set on fire, and it also reflected the sky that was about to darken.

Fortunately, Lu Gong didn't stay in the city gate building before, otherwise, it would be a question whether he could get out. But even so, it didn't fall well, and the glass shards from the explosion not only scratched Lu Gong's face, but also burned his hair and clothes. The guards recovered from the panic caused by the explosion and came up one after another to help Lu Gong extinguish the fire, but this kind of fire is not easy to extinguish, do you dare to shoot it? If you get a little bit of it, you have to be lit yourself!

In a hurry, a guard kicked Lu Gong to the ground, and shouted: "Get out, general, get out!" All the guards also reacted and kicked Lu Gong together.

After some hurried "kicking and rescue", he finally helped Lu Gong extinguish the small flame of enthusiasm on his body, but at this time, his people were almost roasted, and his face was full of big bubbles.

Is there anyone like you? If you can't beat it, you can set it on fire?

Lu Gongbei came from it, and he just wanted to cry bitterly, but he immediately stopped when he grinned...... The face hurts!

…………

The military formation of the Han Zheng army has been set up for a day, and at this time, seeing that the head of Xinye City is on fire, making a mess, the generals of all departments have asked Ogil to fight, wanting to rush into Xinye and grab the first credit, but Ojile said: "What is rushing, standing for a day, aren't the brothers tired?" ”

It is said that the fighter plane is fleeting, but Ogille really gave the order to collect the troops and return to the camp at this time, and led the brothers back to dinner, and at the end he didn't give everyone an explanation, but just ordered the brothers who patrolled the camp to keep vigil to strengthen their vigilance, not to be attacked by the enemy.

However, in the second half of the night, many people really came to the camp of the Han Zheng army, but they all came to surrender, or to send information and rush to make meritorious contributions.

Because seeing the Han Zhengjun collecting troops, Lu Gong felt that he really didn't have the ability to carry it the next day, so he immediately gathered his subordinates, collected his goods and carried grain and grass, and then hurriedly fled to Xiangyang with a part of the soldiers and horses, and these people who stayed behind did not have the courage to run out of Xinye and come to the camp of the Han Zheng army to report the news until they were sure that Lu Gong had run away.

However, Ogille still did not give the order to capture Xinye and pursue Lü Gong, but waited until dawn the next day to let those soldiers who surrendered enter Xinye with their vanguard troops, and after making sure that it was safe, he led the Eighth Division into Xinye City with a swagger.

On the first day, the gate building of Xinye City was burned, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city or the people of Xinye, they were all panicked, but after the other night, they happily welcomed the Han Zhengjun into the city, as if they were finally looking forward to their relatives going home, Ogil saw this situation, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "The people of Xinye are looking forward to me for a long time!" ”
