Chapter 936: The gap is too big
In order to rebuild the city wall of Jiexiu, Cao Liang deliberately built several large brick kilns around Jiexiu to burn green bricks, and the clay of burning bricks was abundant in the Jinzhong area. āµ Eight āµ Eight āµ Read āµ Books, .ā.ā²o
But rebuilding a city, it is not easy, and it took the state military nearly two years to officially complete, and the city of Jiexiu, which cost a great price, is naturally second to none in terms of defense, and Sima Jun wants to throw a few stones to break the wall of Jiexiu, which can only be wishful thinking.
Of course, the target that Sima Jun's catapult wants to attack is naturally not the city wall, although it is also a good choice to smash the city wall, but it will take time, as long as it takes turns to smash and attack, it is possible to destroy the city wall.
Before that, what they wanted to do most was to destroy the two most threatening things, the catapults and arrow towers of the Bingzhou army. It's a pity that they lack accuracy, and most of the stone bullets thrown out fell outside and inside the city, and there were very few that were really thrown at the head of the city, let alone destroy the catapults and arrow towers, and they didn't even get a single hair.
Sima Jun's stone bullets are not all carved into a spherical shape like the Bingzhou Army, they just carry out simple processing of the stones to be used, the stones are basically irregular shapes, and the weight is naturally difficult to ensure uniformity.
In addition, Sima Jun's catapults are all traction catapults, and the biggest problem with the catapults that rely on manpower is that the strength cannot be completely controlled, and even the most experienced pitchers cannot throw the stone projectiles to the same place twice.
So although in the first round of shots, Sima Jun did aim at the arrow tower in the city, but all the stones failed to hit the target. [ā eight [ā eightā read [ā book,.".o@
Before they could reload the second round, the counterattack of the catapult of the Bingzhou army had already arrived, that is to say, the stone bullet of the Sima army had just fallen to the head of the city of Jiexiu, and the catapult of the Bingzhou army had already shot.
Although it was also a hasty shot, the hit rate of the Bingzhou army was not so low as it was outrageously, at least three or four of the dozens of stone shells hit the target, and these few stone slings were destroyed instantly, and two bed crossbows were also carried with them, as for the casualties, they were negligible for the time being.
Under the wide brim, Sima Yi's face became solemn, as soon as the so-called experts made a move, they knew if there was one, it was only the first round of the competition, and Sima Jun's catapults were several times that of the Bingzhou Army, but the effect of the battle was very different, Sima Yi could finally understand why Sima Jun sent more than 100 catapults yesterday but the whole army was quickly wiped out, it seems that in terms of hit rate, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
Chen Qian and Sima Shi's faces also changed greatly, they originally thought that they could seize the opportunity to strike first by using the smoke barrier today, but now it seems that there is no point in striking first, and under the precise blow of the Bingzhou army, they will not be able to escape the end of the entire army.
But now it's too late to retreat, Chen Qian can only bite the bullet and fight against the Bingzhou army, fortunately, the loss of the Sima army in the first round of the battle is not large, and there is still the power to counterattack, Chen Qian ordered to aim at the opponent's catapult to attack with all his might.
At the same time, the bed crossbow also fired with all its might, nailing the treadmill arrow to the city wall.
After several rounds of adjustments, Sima Jun's catapult hit finally increased a little, so that they could not throw stone bullets to the moat, and they couldn't even throw the city wall, and they finally destroyed the first arrow tower, whether it was a blind cat or not that the dead mouse was encountered, but it was finally the first substantial result achieved by Sima Jun's catapult.
On the position of Sima Jun, there was a burst of cheers, and Chen Qian could finally breathe a sigh of relief, today's catapult's performance is finally stronger than yesterday's, yesterday's battle, the catapult was wiped out without even throwing a stone bullet, which is simply a great shame.
And today, Sima Jun's stone bullet finally smashed into the city wall and threw it on the city, and it can also destroy an important target, as for the opponent's catapult, because it has been hidden behind the city wall, the difficulty of hitting is too great, and it can't be destroyed if you want to, if you can destroy some catapults, then it is the real victory.
Chen Qian peeked at Sima Yi, Sima Yi's face did not change because of the destruction of an arrow tower, but became more profound, in fact, compared to Sima Jun's tragic situation, such a victory is indeed not worth complacent.
After firing several rounds of stone projectiles in a row, the hit rate of the catapults of the state army came up, although it was not as good as yesterday, but it was not too much of a ten, and the catapults of the Sima army were destroyed continuously, and the battlefield was a mess.
You must know that the catapults of the Bingzhou army are not concentrated in the south of the city, but are distributed on the four city walls, and the south city wall only accounts for a quarter of them, and the number cannot be compared with the Bingzhou army, but because the hit degree is much higher than that of the Sima army, it is the Bingzhou army that occupies an overwhelming advantage.
Sima Jun's numerical advantage was naturally quickly lost after the catapult was continuously destroyed, and it is no wonder that Sima Yi's face was not very good-looking, suppressing the opponent in terms of numbers, under the condition of preemptive strike, Sima Jun's catapult fought so badly, such a battle really could not be fought again.
Sima Shi saw that Sima Yi's gaze fell on the stone bullet that fell not far in front of him, so he immediately sent someone to bring the stone bullet back and let Sima Yi take a closer look.
After a close look at it for a moment, Sima Yi fell into deep thought, these stone bullets were completely different from those used by Sima Jun, could it be that just because the stone bullets were painstakingly carved into a ball shape, the hit rate could be improved?
Is it really that simple?
Sima Yi shook his head gently, before he saw the true face of the catapult of the Bingzhou army, he could not make an assertion for the time being, but in the catapult contest between the two sides, Sima Jun was completely defeated, and no matter what method was used, this defeat could not be reversed.
The attack of the bed crossbow does not seem to have a very good effect, these crossbow arrows were originally intended to be shot on the city wall, but the brick city wall is not as strong as the rammed earth city wall, no matter how sharp the crossbow arrows are, they can only just penetrate the skin of the city wall, and they can't bury the tip of the arrow deep into the city wall, and some crossbow arrows can't be shot into it at all, and after hitting the city wall, some bricks will break down, and the arrows will fall to the side.
This kind of stepping arrow will not work at all, and if Sima Jun wants to create an alternative ladder, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve this goal. 11. Baidu read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2 Xingwei Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
