What is this for, putting flowers?

Seeing the rows of tubes with their muzzles facing the sky, everyone was a little puzzled, is this a new type of artillery, but is it to shoot birds towards the sky?

Even Zhao Gong and Arjuna were unknown, Zhao Rui waved his hand and called them forward and said, "I'm going to test fire now, you also learn this, these mortars can come in handy in the future." ”

Only then did Zhao Gong and Aruna know that this unremarkable cannon tube was originally called a mortar.

The people brought by Zhao Rui have also conducted test launches, and the basic use methods are still known.

Zhao Rui walked to the center of the artillery array and found a mortar, introduced the dial to Zhao Gong and Arjuna, and first manually aligned the left and right directions, and then asked the city guard of Jiaozhi to open the door and take aim.

The intertwined city guards are also the second monk who can't scratch his head, if there are so many or cannon salvos, the gate is so narrow, can they all be shot out of the gate?

Zhao Rui's words were military orders, and the city guards did not dare to delay, so they asked someone to open the city gate.

"Come, you guys do it with me."

Zhao Rui stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up, and closed his left eye at the same time, Zhao Gong and Arjuna were also doing the same.

"Remember, this is a method of measuring distance, called the eye-skipping method, and you'll use it a lot in the future...... Now the right eye is aimed at the left side of the target along the side of the thumb, the head and hands remain still, and then the right eye is closed, so that the left eye is on the same side of the thumb, and remember that the gaze is on a certain point on the ground, and then visually measure the width of the left side of the target to that point, and then change this predicted width to ten times, which is the distance of the enemy. ”

The two listened to Zhao Rui's words and made the same movements.

"Okay, now I've measured it, but I need to know the distance you measured first." Zhao Rui put down his hand and asked the two.

Zhao Gong measured the same amount and said, "I think it's about a hundred and twenty zhang away." ”

Arjuna said with some hesitation: "It's not so much, I think it's only about a hundred feet......"

Zhao Rui nodded and said: "Or Zhao Gong is more accurate, I measured 450 meters, that is, 135 zhang, you should be familiar with using meters as a distance unit as soon as possible, because the number on the dial is also meters, you use the size of zhang to calculate, it is inevitable that there will be a relatively large error." ”

The two humbly accepted the suggestion, and then looked at Zhao Rui to debug the dial.

"Because the target is behind the mountain, we have to increase the elevation angle......" After a while, Zhao Rui was almost debugged, and said: "The next is the test launch, but wait, let's go to the city wall to watch first." ”

Closing the city gate, the three of them went up the city wall together and faced the endless mountains, Zhao Rui ordered: "Test shot!" ”

Hearing Zhao Rui's command, the soldier who had been preparing for a long time put the **** into the barrel.

"Wow! Whoosh......"

The cannonball flew over the trio's heads with a sharp whistling sound.

"This ......"

"It's ......"

Zhao Gong and Arjuna were stunned, and it is estimated that the people in the city were also surprised, they had never seen an anti-aircraft gun like this, but it was similar to a catapult, and they all attacked the enemy camp with an arc.

Zhao Rui was aiming at the mountain directly opposite the center, and the catapults of the Angkor people were also centered on this mountain and scattered around.

But what Zhao Rui didn't know was that the back of the mountain here was also the place where the handsome camp of the Angkor people was located.

"Report ...... Report to the handsome! The city gate of Tuojiang Town was wide open just now, and then it didn't take long for it to close! ”

Because of the special situation, the soldiers who observed the enemy's situation hurriedly came to report.

"Huh? The door opens, but someone comes out? The coach asked in surprise as he held his glass.

At this time, the commander and the lieutenant general were drinking, they felt that this might be the most comfortable siege battle, they didn't need to show up, they just needed to throw stones, and the city was just around the corner, and the generals were even more comfortable, they only needed to drink and chat, and wait for the city to be broken and charge with elephants.

After hearing that the city gate was opened and no one entered or exited, the coach and the deputy general glanced at each other, and they were also puzzled, and the coach suddenly smiled and said: "Could it be that the Jiaozhi people are trying to breathe through the wind!" Ahahahaha! ”

The coach's witty conversation made the lieutenant general and the surrounding soldiers laugh together, because the Jiaozhi people really didn't form any threatening resistance to them for a while.

Because of the resistance and information of the artillery, they also all knew that Zhao Rui was leading the troops to defend, and they even felt that Zhao Rui didn't seem to be a big deal, there was nothing he could do with himself, and it didn't seem to be as powerful as the legend.

How many people were still laughing, and suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air?

What the?

Before I could react, I felt that something had fallen, and it happened to be the location of the catapult not far away.

"Boom!"

The earthquake shook with a loud bang, and the catapult was blown into debris in an instant, and the resulting *** spilled the coach with blood all over his face.

What the! What is it!

The boss suddenly lay on the ground, and at the same time looked around, and found that the adjutant next to him was dead, and it seemed that the skull had collapsed from a piece of rubble.

Bastard!

How could the shells of the Cochins come here!

The coach struggled to look up at the mountain, unharmed, could it be that the cannonballs of the cochins would not be able to turn?

"Haha! Not bad! ”

From Zhao Rui's point of view, the wood fragments that could splash out of the mountain knew that he must have hit the catapult.

Then Zhao Rui immediately issued an order to adjust all mortars to the same scale.

"Ready, three shots in a row!"

Fifty mortars were loaded at the same time, the momentum was extraordinary, and the onlookers and the people also opened their eyes, thinking about how this kind of cannon could be fired without loading, and the shells were fired directly with the soldiers.

"Whoosh ......"

Countless shells flew over the heads of the trio again.

"Haha, look at it!"

At this time, many Jiaozhi officials also climbed the city wall, looked at the mountain opposite, and wondered what the effect would be if so many cannons were fired in unison.

The Angkor people on the other side are still thinking hard about why the cannonballs of the Cochin people turn around, although they have no basis in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but they still feel that such a situation is impossible to happen.

Maybe the cannonball was changed by rocks on the top of the mountain......

The Angkor people can only and only understand it in this way to be more reasonable.

Therefore, the people of Angkor regarded the destruction of the catapult as an accidental event, that is, the blind cat met the dead mouse, and there will be no second time.

The coach's face was covered with blood, and he lost another lieutenant, and he secretly screamed bad luck in his heart, and just stood up and was about to wash his face, but the sound of breaking the air just now appeared again.

I still didn't have time to look up, and the thing fell down.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

This time it was terrible, causing a series of explosions, and the location of the explosion was still on the back side of the mountain.

This time the commander was in a lucky position, there was no shell attack, he looked at everything in front of him in horror, only to see that many catapults were destroyed, and many soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain, obviously injured.

Oh, my God?!

How do the Cochins do it?

If one shell is a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, then how should so many shells be explained at the same time?

The coach looked up at the sky in horror, and suddenly noticed a group of black dots approaching rapidly, these black dots were not shooting directly, but moving like catapults.

"Not good! Dodge! ”

At the same time as the boss shouted, the sound of breaking the air appeared again, and the shells flew extremely fast, giving people no time to react, and they carried out an indiscriminate explosion attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This time, the shells landed near the previous ones, destroying most of the catapults that had been lucky enough to escape the first wave.

This time, thanks to the manager's cleverness, he quickly ran away and survived.

Finished...... Most of the catapults were destroyed, the soldiers were also affected, and even the elephants were scared away by the explosion of the shells.

Angkor boss hated the ground, and he didn't know how to go back to explain the current loss, so he said that the Jiaozhi people had a kind of ** that fell from the sky, and they could explode, who would believe it!

The soldiers were also unacceptable, hiding behind the mountain and being beaten so badly is something that cannot be explained by common sense.

War is brutal.

Soon the third wave of **** hit again.

At this moment, all the Angkor people collapsed, crying for their father and mother, and fled abruptly, as for the armament, food and grass, they all left behind, and nothing was important in their lives anyway.

As for the stone throwing truck, it is now high-tech and expensive, and it was also abandoned by the Angkor people at this time, and most of them were destroyed by artillery shells anyway, and basically it was not very usable.

The mortars used in this battle really frightened the Angkor people, not only abandoned their positions and fled, suffering heavy losses, but also suffered most casualties, which was also embarrassing.

The Tuojiang city wall became a sea of cheers, and everyone couldn't imagine that Zhao Rui used this thing called a mortar to repel the Angkor people, looking at the embarrassed figure of the Angkor people, the soldiers who had been suppressing the city before, not to mention how enjoyable!

However, Zhao Rui had been a mortar for so long, and he even felt that it was a little unpleasant to retreat from the enemy three times, so he led his troops out of the city to pursue, and by the way, he recovered the cage county near the west of Tuojiang Town.

It was said that it was the recovery that the Angkor people themselves scared themselves away, there were not many officers and soldiers stationed in Lang County, and they saw that so many siege vehicles were also beaten and scattered, so they didn't dare to meet the enemy, and before Zhao Rui's army arrived, they had already fled cleanly.

Hehe...... Invincible is really lonely.

Zhao Rui felt that once it became a crushing situation, it would be boring to pursue it again, so he ordered the Jiaozhi people to defend the city, and he took Zhao Gong, Arjuna and a group of soldiers back.

With the idea of mortar development, Zhao Rui even wants to be a hand **or**, although the power is not as good as mortar, but after all, it is easy to carry by a single soldier, and it can produce unexpected effects in war.

The battle report of the victory had already reached Thang Long City, so when Zhao Rui and the others arrived in Thang Long City, they were ceremoniously received by Chen Xuan.

Hearing that Zhao Rui won two cities and invented a new type of artillery, which was infinitely powerful, Chen Xuan looked at Zhao Rui's eyes with infinite admiration, and at the same time put his attitude very low.
