Qin State Chapter 238 Catapult

When the Yanmen was closed, Li Python and Zhao Shi fought Amangula together, and even though Amangula was superior in martial arts, he was forced to retreat again and again for a while, and at this time, Loulan's army had begun to climb the city wall in a big way.

"Poof"

The shadow of death shrouded everyone's hearts, there were too many soldiers and horses in Loulan, and they had occupied a corner on the Guan Tower, with this corner, the Loulan soldiers found a foothold, and then poured up to Yanmen Pass in a steady stream.

A soldier of the Qin army fell in a pool of blood, although in terms of equipment, the Qin army had the advantage, but the Loulan soldiers were not idle, their short swords were extremely sharp, and they could easily pierce the leather armor of the Qin army.

"Fight to the death."

One of Zhao Shi's arms was drooping, which had just been broken by Amangula with a shield, but Amangula did not get any benefits, and was slashed by Zhao Shi on the chest, although the sword wound was not deep, but it also affected his combat effectiveness, and under the attack of Li Python and Meng Ying, who came to support, he could only defend passively.

"Driving"

Li Qing rode towards Yanmen, and after defeating the soldiers and horses of the Dayue clan, Li Qing left the foot soldiers in the clouds to defend, and rushed back to Yanmen with his cavalry, because he was worried about Yanmen, along the way, Li Qing did not spare the horsepower at all, and galloped wildly, and the two thousand cavalry only took half of the original time, and they were about to arrive at Yanmen.

At the same time, Meng Tian's 10,000 soldiers and horses were also on the way to Yanmen, and it only took half an hour to reach Yanmen.

After Meng Tian led the soldiers and horses to leave Shangjun, outside Shangjun, a large number of alien soldiers and horses suddenly poured out, a rough estimate, actually no less than 200,000, these 200,000 alien cavalry, most of them are composed of Xiongnu, Qian and Qiang, 200,000 troops, mighty came to the Great Wall of Shangjun, the momentum is huge, the soldiers and horses guarding the Great Wall do not dare to slack off, notify Meng Yi and Fusu, the two led the soldiers and horses to the Great Wall, looking at the enemy outside the city, everyone's faces, are showing a dignified color.

"Childe, it seems that the enemy is preparing to attack this time."

Meng Yi found that the enemy actually began to assemble siege equipment, and couldn't help but show a dignified look, the enemy's assembled equipment was excellent, and it was not weaker than the Mo family's equipment, which was completely different from the grassland alien race in Meng Yi's cognition.

"Da Danghu, what kind of Thor car is sent from this big snow mountain, can it really smash the Great Wall of the Central Plains?"

A braided Hun general asked as he stroked a catapult known as the Thor Chariot, which looked very hideous on the outside.

The Hun Da Danghu said with a smile: "Let's try it, we will know, twelve Thor cars are enough for the Qin people to drink a pot." ”

Fusu pointed to the catapult that was slowly advancing, with a solemn face, the catapult was the first to appear in the Warring States Period, and the Qin army was also heavily equipped, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang confiscated the catapult drawings, and this siege weapon became the exclusive property of the Qin army.

"Gongsun, is there a way to destroy the other party's catapult?"

Meng Yi looked at a black-robed old man, he was an elder of the Mo family, and he was also very good at mechanisms and instruments.

The black-robed old man stretched out his finger, put it in front of his eyes, estimated the distance, and then said: "Our big crossbow can only shoot 1,200 steps, and the opponent's catapult is still 3,000 steps away from us, with the big crossbow, there is no way to destroy the opponent's catapult." ”

Meng Yi smashed his fist on the city wall, and said angrily: "Three thousand steps, under normal circumstances, the range of the catapult is eight hundred steps, but the other party's catapult is much larger than an ordinary catapult, and I don't know if it can reach one thousand two hundred steps." ”

Fusu shook his head and said, "We can't take risks, we must find a way to destroy the catapult. ”

"Look, they're stopped, two thousand steps, oh my God, what do they want to do?"

Gongsun suddenly opened his mouth wide, pointed to the city and shouted, at this time, the Huns pushing the catapult had stopped advancing, they were moving wooden frames one by one, I don't know what was in the wooden frame, but it seemed that it should be a very heavy thing.

A group of people in white robes appeared next to the catapult, and then skillfully manipulated the catapult, it turned out that although the Great Snow Mountain provided the alien race with a catapult named Thor Car, it did not have time to slowly teach them to use the catapult, so the people who operated the catapult were all disciples from the Great Snow Mountain.

"Crunch squeak"

The winch turned, the long arm of the catapult was lowered, and several Huns immediately put the polished stone bullet from the wooden frame in the pocket of the long arm.

"Boom Boom"

Twelve stone projectiles the size of millstones shot out and smashed into the Great Wall with a roar.

"It's not good, Childe, let's go."

Meng Yi's complexion changed greatly, he didn't expect that the enemy's catapult could shoot a distance of two thousand steps, which was two hundred steps farther than the range of the Qin army's best catapult.

"Ahh

A stone bullet fell on the Great Wall and fell among the defenders, and more than a dozen defenders screamed and were stoned to death, spilling blood.

The rest of the defenders saw the tragic situation of their comrades, and they were all pale and weak.

In the first round of attacks, only three stone bullets fell on the Great Wall, and the remaining nine, three of which had already fallen outside the Great Wall before they could reach the Great Wall, and the remaining six smashed on the wall of the Great Wall, leaving several dents of different sizes on it.

Meng Yi wiped the blood that was splashed on his face, his face was very ugly, just in the first round, he killed more than fifty defenders, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the morale of the Qin army, because of the appearance of catapults, has become very low, like this, it only takes a few rounds of bombardment, and the Qin army has to collapse.

Fusu's face was also a little pale, just a stone bullet fell more than a dozen steps away from Fusu, and Fusu watched as the two Qin soldiers were smashed into flesh by the stone bullet.

Meng Yi said decisively: "I can't let the enemy bombard like this, I will take a group of soldiers and horses to kill and destroy the catapult." ”

Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, general, remember to be careful. ”

Yingqiu stopped Meng Yi and said, "General Meng Yi, you are a military advisor of our army, how can you take risks easily, let me go." ”

"General Ying, you ......"

Meng Yi had the heart to stop him, and Yingqiu came directly to Fusu and said: "Childe, I'm already old, I can't follow Childe for a long time, this battle, let me go." ”

Fusu nodded, looked at the veteran of the Ying clan in front of him, who had clearly recorded that he had died, and said, "Uncle, take care." ”

Yingqiu laughed and said: "The old man is a damned person, even if he dies in battle today, I will destroy the catapult." ”
