and construct a low and thick barrier-type fortification. It is used to deploy powerful counter-attack weapons. Stuffle the enemy's attack from the start. And it's a counterattack that leaves no dead ends. Its utility will be higher than that of traditional city architecture. It also has the important advantage that the old-fashioned fortifications are far inferior to. That is, it is difficult for the enemy to dig tunnels under the city walls. to make it collapse."

Master Yang said with great interest: "We are now on the attacking side. You won't need this knowledge for the time being. You can first learn about the manufacturing of offensive equipment and the scientific design and excavation of offensive channels. So be it. I'll take you to see the siege cannon we've built in a moment."

Master Yang's saliva is flying. Only then did I see that Guo Sheng had come to the tent at some point. Know what he's coming from. Conveniently." General Guo is also here. Let's take a look at the siege equipment."

"That's exactly what Ben wants. Master Yang, please."

"How dare you. How dare you. Or General Guo please."

"You're welcome to go down there......"

Several apprentices are disciples of Master Yang. Follow him in and out. He has been in and out of the craftsman's camp several times. But it's the scholars' tents that go there. All you see is piles of drawings and a mess of models. Unable to produce an intuitive impression. And this time. Master Yang took advantage of the interest. Took him to the storage site where the finished weapons were stored.

Giant stone throwing machines, ballistas, rams, excavation equipment for tunnel operations....... all kinds of attacking weapons. A feast for the eyes.

"This is a light cannon, this is a heavy cannon. Oh. Over there is a medium rapid-fire gun. Generally speaking. Various cannons can only be fired five or six times a day. And this rapid-fire cannon is under our continuous development and improvement. has reached thirty shots a day without scrapping."

Master Yang triumphantly introduced the terrifying murder weapon to his beloved apprentice: "Look. This is a field artillery . This is a siege artillery. There are also stone cannons with a caliber of 850 mm and a firing range of 200 to 500 meters. The main role is also siege. Oh. That's right. You see. This is our latest siege artillery."

Master Yang walked a few steps briskly. Come to a huge . At first glance, it is intimidating in front of the super-giant catapult. First sight. It's not this oversized cannon. Rather, it's shells piled up next to the war guns . Those shells were polished, extremely round stone balls. Look at this cannonball. Liu Yujue gasped. A cold look. I'm afraid that the stone ball weighs thousands of pounds.

At this time, a pound is sixteen taels. Other words. According to the algorithm of modern people. The weight of this stone ball. That's fifteen hundred pounds. It's horrible. If such a cannonball smashed on the city wall....... Guo Sheng suddenly thought of what Guo Yixuan had said in the bathroom just now. No wonder he dared to boast that the taller the city, the easier it was to be destroyed.

Stand in front of this behemoth. Guo Sheng could only touch the gun carriage of the towering giant cannon. He stroked the gun carriage and said, "This cannon. It takes two hundred skilled gunners and sixty oxen to tow and use. A maximum of seven shells can be fired in a day. Even so. After a few shots. The cannon also fell apart. But what does it matter ........ Hehe. Such a cannon. Just one door. It is enough to open an irreparable gap in the strongest walls. Let our valiant soldiers rush to the city."

Guo Sheng said in surprise: "Such a huge cannon. How could it be transported?"

Master Yang said: "The more you go east. The harder it is to get enough materials to build these gears. So. Gotta go here to build well. When the war began. Light siege equipment will be carried with the army. Heavy equipment is a little later. But it can't be delayed for long. Because these things can be disassembled. We used to do tests. Carrying this dismantled heavy siege machine. On average, you can travel 30 miles a day."

Although Guo Sheng has such a skilled craftsman. But I don't care much about these things on weekdays. His main energy was spent on how to please the Khitans. So I can't help but be shocked at the moment. Surprised, he said, "It can be so fast."

Master Yang said, "How is it. Now General Guo is on the attack on Qi County. Let's have some confidence."

Guo Sheng nodded again and again: "Not bad. With such a sophisticated weapon. Qi County must be no problem."

The first rays of dawn shine on the county seat of Qixian. The soldiers of the Tang Army, who heard the sound of the horn, rushed to the city. Looking at the tens of thousands of troops under the city, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The army under the city is under the banner of the word "Guo". Take 10,000 people as a team. Neatly arranged. There are also very tall siege stone cannons in front of the army.

The walls of Qi County are not extremely high. Ride the ladder. If only there was a miraculous archery cover. If there are fewer people in the city. Only one point was breached. That's the general trend.

Ge Congzhou, who defended the city, held two swords in his hands. Murderously: "Set up the mortar for me. Bombard their stone cannons." Immediately ran over a few soldiers and people. Help the gunner nervously adjust the position of the cannon.

"Boom......" a few cannon shots. The stone cannon that Master Yang was so proud of was reduced to nothing. Master Yang opened his mouth wide in the back. Granny legs. What a guy is this. So powerful.

Several mortar shells also affected the besieging team. But the good thing is that the range of the mortar is also limited. The impact is not too great. Guo Sheng's face turned cold. First Side. Rush me!" The dense Khitan Han soldiers carried the ladder behind and began to move forward. See the past from the city. It's like a dark cloud covering the snow.

"Boom." More than a dozen cannon shots. The 10,000-man squad was bombarded with mortars. Only a handful of centaurs carried the ladder forward for hundreds of steps. Then the overwhelming crossbow fired a powerful bolt. That's it. The first team was completely wiped out.

Guo Sheng's scalp began to tingle. 10,000 people. A whole 10,000 people died without even touching the walls. Of course hundreds of people fled back. were all beheaded by Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng's heart was full of bad water. After a moment, he said, "Someone. Pull me up the villagers I arrested a few days ago."

The sun has risen high. Everywhere shone but was a chilling cold light of swords and guns.

Guo Sheng's second team began to attack. Ge Congzhou raised his knife and pointed at the front and shouted, "Quick. Blow up that row of ladders in front of me".

The besieging team on the opposite side is getting closer and closer. The soldier lying in front of him with his bow and arrow suddenly shouted, "My lord. Ahead are our people. They...... Tartars, they took the people, and stood in front."

"Hmm." Ge hurriedly rushed to the front from Monday. Press the battlements and look down. At this time, the second wave of siege teams is getting closer and closer. You can clearly see that there are seven or eight hundred men and women, old and young, standing at the front. It's all Han costumes. This time, Ge Congzhou was also stupid.
