"Kill, ahh

"Climb to the top of the city and upgrade three levels in a row!!"

"Rush, !!"

"Kill !!"

"Fought with them !!"

"Defend Gaomi City!"

"The city is in the people! Hit the momentum of Liang Guo! ”

All kinds of shouts tore through the sky, and the otherwise peaceful environment was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

The originally gloomy sky became even more gloomy, and the sun was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, and the light could not fully reach the ground.

The cold lance reflects the cold light, like a jackal hunting in the vast dark night, once it strikes, it will definitely take a life.

The archers at the head of the city are like rows of emotionless killing machines,

"Buzz! Buzz! The bow and arrow were wound, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! The sound of arrows breaking through the air, and "Hmmm! Swish! Swish! The sound of crossbow firing is intertwined together, composing a magnificent killing movement.

Although each climax of the arrow can harvest the names of countless soldiers, the performance of this movement does not go well, and not only are the archers in the city taking the opportunity to fight back, but also a massive, gluttonous monster slowly attacking.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The battering ram, driven by heavy wooden wheels, moved methodically in the direction of the city gates.

In order to survive, the soldiers pushing the battering ram deliberately installed a huge iron sheet covered with old cowhide at the tail of the battering ram.

The iron sheet was at a forty-five degree angle to the ground, and in order to stabilize it, the soldiers on both sides did not push the cart when the battering ram advanced, but only used their hands to support the iron sheet.

The arrows as dense as rain "da-da-da" collided on the iron sheets, leaving countless small uneven holes.

"Everyone, keep it up! It's coming! ”

"Breach the gates, bounty ten!"

"No!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

This "glutton" continued to open its bloody mouth and move slowly towards the position of the city gate.

Under the escort of Ye Chuping and another lieutenant armor holding a shield, Bai Mingzhe was able to squat on the edge of the city wall and peek at the situation on the battlefield.

Because it was the first time he saw this kind of scene, his heart was beating "thump", and his heart rate was about to reach 15.

This is nothing, it may be that there is too much hormone secretion in the body, his right hand has a paralyzing feeling, it may be that the nerves have been violently impacted by electrical signals, and it is difficult to adapt for a while.

"Gaomi County is only a small county town, and there are no obstacles such as digging moats. And the battering ram is a huge threat to the city gate," Bai Mingzhe said secretly, and at the same time, his brain spun rapidly, "We must quickly find a way to resist the battering ram." ”

Generally speaking, siege warfare uses battering rams and trebuchets!

And the trebuchet, although it has been put into use in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has not been improved, it is very cumbersome, and it consumes too much manpower to use!

At the moment, to fully drive a trebuchet, you need at least two hundred and fifty people!

There are only more than 2,000 people besieging the city, if Ma Ning really divides five or six hundred people to use two stone machines, then he will definitely lose this siege battle!

For no other reason, they are far more than three hundred steps away from Gaomi County, and trebuchets must use human lives to enter within three hundred steps!

And when the trebuchet is driven, these five or six hundred people are completely ineffective...... As long as those forty-three daredevils took the opportunity to attack, they would surely be crushed.

At present, the biggest problem is how to stop the footsteps of the "gluttony" under the city!

He leaned his back against the city wall, not showing the flaws to the archers under the city, and roared, "Zhang Gong! Do you have a way to resist the battering ram? ”

The heavy black armor on Zhang Bo's body collided with each other, making a crisp sound like a silver bell, and he responded loudly while dodging the rain of arrows while slashing and killing the enemy soldiers who reached the city along the ladder to the head of the city, "Taiyuan-kun!" The battering ram, a large-scale siege weapon, was originally designed to deal with large city passes such as Jimo and Hangu Pass. I really didn't expect that they would use a battering ram against the small county town of Gaomi County! ”

He exhaled and continued to shout: "Please forgive me, I have no way to resist for the time being!" Now you can only have the soldiers strengthen the city gates, and throw stones at the city gates, cutting off their path! ”

"There's no way at the moment?" Bai Mingzhe looked anxious, and beat his head with his right hand, forcing himself, "No! You must find a way to fend off the battering ram right away!! ”

The Book of Changes says: "There is fire in Ze, and fire goes up and down Ze." Among them, 'fire in the swamp' is a description of the phenomenon of oil vapor catching fire on the surface of lakes and ponds. ”

"It's a pity, there's no oil around here! If you can dig up oil, let alone a few battering rams, even if it is thousands of enemy troops, there is nothing to fear. ”

"What else can you use but oil! Isn't it improvizing? Although the formula of black powder has been mentioned in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" and "The New Book of Ji Xiao", it is too dangerous to use it indiscriminately. ”

"Ahhh

Bai Mingzhe was so anxious that he was about to pull his hair out.

"Poof!"

"Bang dang!"

On his right, another Liang soldier fell from an arrow.

The sound of weapons colliding in my ears became more and more intense, "Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Die!"

"Ahh

"I'm waiting for you!"

"Kill, ahhhh

"If the rolling stones are not enough, push the ladder!"

"Ahhh

Because of the lack of physical strength, the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city could not stop this group of brave and combat-ready Liang soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, so they could only fall from the top of the city dozens of meters high with unwillingness, and fell to pieces.

"Boom! Rumble! Thundered! The battering ram continued to move, and by this time it was less than a hundred and fifty paces from the gates.

"Poof!"

"Ahhh Another Liang soldier collapsed after screaming.

Bai Mingzhe gritted his teeth and made a decision, he shouted, "Gong Zhang, how about our battle damage?" How long can it last? ”

Zhang Bo glanced at the city, and by observing the lack of soldiers in each place compared to before the siege, he estimated and said: "It has been about two quarters of an hour since the battle began, and this wave of rebels attacking the city is extremely fierce!" We killed more than 100 enemies, inflicted heavy losses on more than 300 people, and the number of casualties was about 40 people! ”

He paused and continued: "According to the current siege situation, as long as it holds out for more than half an hour, the rebels should retreat and repair. But ......"

He suddenly changed his words, "If the battering ram under the city arrives at the city gate, the rebels may not retreat, but will continue to attack the city desperately!" Because, as long as the city gate is slammed open, we are like fish and turtles in the urn, and there is nowhere to escape! ”

Bai Mingzhe groaned, patted his chest, and said, "I understand! Jun continues to organize men to defend the city! I'm going to get ready to destroy the battering ram stuff! Give me half an hour, and you should be ready! ”

"Everything is up to Taiyuan-kun!" Uncle Zhang's face was solemn, and after he finished speaking, he immediately shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city, "Brothers, hold on for a while, and after a stick of incense, change guards with the remaining two hundred people!" ”

"No!"

……

Bai Mingzhe took the three lieutenants and soldiers and left from the city wall temporarily.

"Chu Ping, you immediately led people to look for sulfur, willow charcoal, saltpeter, wooden pestle, wooden bowl, clay pot, and a small scale. Among them, saltpeter is in the toilet excrement and the color is white! And willow charcoal, there should be there in the blacksmith! As for the brimstone, go to the city medicine shop and get it. Remember, the more the merrier! Within three sticks of incense, be sure to come back. ”

Ye Chuping bowed his hand, "No! ”

Looking at the departing backs of his subordinates, Bai Mingzhe gently recited the ancient fire gun recipe in the "New Book of Ji Xiao".

Qi Jiguang summed it up very well.

If it weren't for the fact that charcoal iron smelting had just been developed and the craftsman skills were not in place, Bai Mingzhe would even want to sacrifice the large-scale killing weapon of the fire gun.

…………

More than forty minutes later, Ye Chuping came back with two lieutenants and sergeants who were full of stench.

Behind them, there is a wooden basket full of materials.

Ye Chuping carefully placed the wooden basket in the place, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Gong, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" It's all here! ”

"Good!" Bai Mingzhe immediately squatted down, ignoring the stench of saltpeter, and said happily: "Time is pressing, immediately, after scooping, sort the things and pour them into the clay pot."

Ye Chuping was puzzled, "Ah, Bai Gong, what are you going to do." ”

"A baby! Although it can be dangerous when you use it, if you succeed, you can definitely destroy the battering ram! Bai Mingzhe didn't care about the explanation, and continued to concentrate on scooping the saltpeter in the bowl.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

With each blow, they have more hope of holding on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Ye Chuping looked at each other, although he didn't understand, Bai Mingzhe had already made a move, and as a subordinate, he naturally couldn't be lazy, so they all hurriedly joined the battle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Under the city wall of Gaomi County, a dense sound of percussion sounded.

A terrifying thing, something enough to subvert the war of cold weapons, is crawling out of hell with the help of the hands of a few of them!

Later, with gunpowder and advanced muskets, hundreds of people can deal with tens of thousands of Qing troops, and now, although they have no muskets and no guns, but the use of exploding clay pots to deal with thousands of Jiaodong local army should not be a problem, right?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the hammering speed of the wooden pestle in Bai Mingzhe's hand accelerated even more.
