Chapter 175: A Taste of My Italy...... Oversized trebuchet! (1/5)
Zhao Huan pointed to the position of Wanyan Zonghan in the distance and asked the seed master if his new trebuchet could hit that position.
"If Li Shaoqing hadn't learned to brag after becoming Dazai, the new trebuchet of our Great Song Dynasty would have been able to hit that big position. Do you want to try it? The seed master nodded and said affirmatively.
If Li Gang didn't brag, then two thousand steps away, that is, the position of Yan Zonghan's big fight, would be no problem at all.
"Ten trebuchets fired together, add some hits." Zhao Huan turned around and returned to where he was sitting.
After Yan Zonghan will behead the tactics, will he not be?
It's just that I use a condescending gravity trebuchet.
After Li Gang got the "Mechanical Principle", he never stopped exploring the origin of the mechanical principle, and then after repeated improvements, combined with Zhao Huan's original idea of throwing bamboo tube fierce fire oil.
Created a strange giant machine.
A giant gravity trebuchet that can only be launched once in a quarter of an hour, that is, the kind of giant trebuchet that Yue Fei heard about that can move.
There is a bullet frame hanging under the long arm, which can hang hundreds of kilograms of boulders, while the short arm hangs nearly a ton of counterweight, gravity trebuchet, with gravity as the core, and the lever principle as the main application of the war weapon.
The ten-meter-high trebuchet had already been assembled and ready to be assembled, and under the trebuchet, there were two two-person cages hanging from it.
These two cages are very similar to hamster cages, except that this one is larger and has pedals inside.
Three people can be placed in a cage, and the soldiers constantly step on the cage to make the cage rotate, and through the gears, the counterweight arm is slowly raised.
The whole wood-framed trebuchet is actually a reinforced iron skeleton, and wood alone can no longer withstand the weight of this giant trebuchet.
Compared with the two-meter-high trebuchet next to it, the human-powered wheel gravity trebuchet that Li Gang took out was lying quietly on the head of the city with the pressure from the giant machine.
Like a giant beast from the wilderness, it has an extremely terrifying deterrent power.
It's just that Wanyan Zonghan can't see it because of the angle.
The reason why it took Zhao Huan a month and a half to rush to Jinzhong was also because this trebuchet was really difficult to transport.
"Left fifteen, back ten, full strength, ready!" Liu Jing, the sharpshooter of the officer, the commander in charge of the crossbow shooting of the car formation, and the current gravity trebuchet user shouted in his loudest voice.
The small red flag was erected, and Liu Jing, who was squinting slightly, looked at the atlas in his hand again, which was a codex written by Liu Yi, which had detailed explanations on various distances and angles.
Finally, make sure that the angle you have determined is correct.
Liu Jing wiped the sweat from his head and waved the small red flag hard!
The launcher pulled the top bolt rope in his hand hard, and the counterweight arm fell suddenly, and the stones in the frame flew towards the city gate with a roar.
When Yan Zonghan saw the little red flag falling, his heart was alarmed! What kind of tricks are these Song people playing?
Then he saw ten huge flying stones flying out of the top of the pass.
At this time, the battlefield seemed to stand still, and everyone looked up to see the huge stone swirling and speeding over their heads in the sunlight.
What is this?
This doubt rose in everyone's hearts.
It's not that I don't know the stone, it's all over the world.
But this was the first time they had seen such a large stone in the air, churning and flying.
"Dodge!" After Yan Zonghan shouted with all his might, he was all armored, and he went to the big push, and began to roll down the big push!
This flying stone is definitely coming for him Wanyan Zonghan!
Ten flying stones accompanied everyone's eyes and landed near the enemy's massacre, making a loud noise and raising smoke and dust in the sky.
The battlefield is still.
What is the origin of this emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to make the boulder fly? Mountain gods?
Zhao Huan was a little regretful, the accuracy of this trebuchet was a little poor, this drop and air trajectory, without a long time of correction, how could it be a hit, although ten trebuchets fired a salvo, but after Yan Zonghan's big shot was safe.
makes Zhao Huan extremely regretful, this blow, if he kills Yan Zonghan, it will be more than beautiful!
I can wake up laughing when I dream!
Wanyan Zonghan straightened his pocket very indecently, shook his head with a disgraced face, and took a few sips before he spit out the smoke and dust in his mouth and nose.
Although it was a little embarrassing, it was a blessing that the huge flying stone was not stoned to death.
The damage was not great, but the morale was low to freezing.
The nearby soldiers were in chaos, and even the Khitans in front showed signs of retreating.
"Look at what! Pass the order! Kill the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Jin Guogong! But hereditary grace! Palm 10,000 households! String control 30,000 people in armor! ”
Wanyan Zonghan roared like crazy, this big threat of almost dying made his sanity a little out of control.
When morale is low, you should lead the army to retreat and do repairs in the future.
But Wanyan Zonghan is undoubtedly a madman.
"Three thousand elite cavalry will go out with me, and I will personally cut off the head of the Great Song Emperor! No one can humiliate Da Song Xishuai like this! No one! Wanyan Zonghan was still roaring.
The generals muttered, wanting to remind their commander.
You are Jin Guoxishuai.
However, at this time, no one dared to correct Yan Zonghan's slip of the tongue.
Tens of thousands of Khitannu and tens of thousands of elite soldiers gathered at the foot of Ningwu Pass, even if the city pass is tall and several feet high, there are still Jin people climbing the nearby rock wall and climbing the head of Ningwu Pass.
"Official, it's time to go, Jin Bing is here." Zhao Ying rubbed his hands and said anxiously. If you don't leave at this time, it will be too late when the Jin soldiers attack the city.
"I can't retreat." Zhao Huan still didn't mean to move his buttocks.
The scattered Jin soldiers and Khitannu couldn't take the city wall at all, and Zhao Huan showed cowardice at this time, and his idea of planning to completely annihilate Yan Zonghan's subordinates would completely turn into a castle in the air.
The seed master Dao is also indifferent, just a dead country.
Wanyan Zonghan's cavalry team quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, climbed the cloud ladder of the high, and went up to the front of Ningwu Pass.
Although he looked like a madman, the most basic military qualities were still there, bypassing the front of the densest rain of arrows, and choosing to climb the city wall from the weak point on the side.
"Today's foot soldiers are all strong men, and when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does the soul of the sword of our others, there will be a reward from high-ranking officials. If you are afraid of war, military law is ruthless! Have you ever understood? Wanyan Zonghan stayed in the wooden building of the cloud ladder and shouted loudly to the foot soldiers behind him.
"Dare to die on the battlefield for the general!" Jin Bing's mask is very hideous, and from the eyes of the mask, you can see the kind of madness that has annihilated human nature.
The soldiers of a hundred battles are crazy, they know how to survive on the battlefield, and they also know what the greatest credit is on the battlefield.
Taking down the head of the enemy emperor is enough to grace future generations.
The iron hook of the cloud ladder hooked the city wall, and Wanyan Zonghan stepped on the head of Ningwu Pass.
