Under Zhong Kang's strict order, the remaining nine guns continued to fire, and they did not explode in successive rounds, but the distance of 600 meters was too far, and although the target was four feet high and 15 feet wide, there were very few shells hit. The Qin army had no quadrant, no shooting table, and even the most basic experience, most of the shells flew off, and very few of the shells actually hit the three city gates.

Others heard the sound of the artillery, but Ye Tunnel saw this scene in his eyes. According to the test of Zaofu, the double charge and the barrel of the cannon were fired at an angle of five degrees, and the range of the shell was more than 600 meters, not more than 650 meters—this was already the range of a trebuchet to throw light projectiles, which was equivalent to saying that the trebuchet alone could threaten artillery.

The artillery placed 600 meters away could reach Shenmen, and that was because the elevation angle of the gun body exceeded 30 degrees. The cannonball falls at this angle and must hit the top of the gate to hit the overhanging gate behind the gate, and if it hits the middle or even the lower part of the gate, the steep trajectory will only cause the cannonball to hit the ground between the gate and the hanging gate. After more than a dozen shells were hit at the city gate, the copper-clad door wood had been broken, but the hanging gate behind it had not yet been broken, and this was the reason.

I don't know if it's the reason, but he just doesn't say it. His ancestor was a courtier of the King of Qi, how could he, this grandson, allow a barbaric country like Qin to destroy the Qi State? Ye Tunnel is a great engineer, the hanging door is not broken, he can't see the sky on the other side of the doorway is very strange, and when the second cannon is blown up again, he called Zhong Dare over.

"The witch weapon is too far away, not as close as the hanging door." Ye Tunnel gestured, and he realized the existence of the problem.

"Or maybe it's because of poor archery." Don't make up a reason. "If you can hit the upper edge, the hanging door should be broken."

"Definitely." Ye Tunnel didn't notice Wuji's intentions, he said: "There are many witch weapons, and if you shoot them like this, there will be no one in ten." Before entering, shoot at the gate of the city one hundred and fifty paces away, and the gate will be broken. ”

"One hundred and fifty paces is within the range of the crossbow." Don't hesitate to shake your head immediately. "The last three hundred steps."

"Three hundred steps is too far!" Leaf tunnel emergency road. "Now only one of the ten shots will be hit, and the ten shots will blow up one door, and if you can't get close, the witch weapon will not exist. The captain must listen to me, everyone is panicked, and the crossbow is too late. ”

The two disagreed, and Zhong dared to be suspicious. Fortunately, this is not a technical problem, this is a matter of decision, he is still hesitating, there are two abnormal sounds of 'boom, boom' behind him, two more artillery pieces explode, and only six out of ten artillery pieces remain. Zhong Dang's expression was grim, he shook Ye Tunnel, and said loudly: "Dare not obey your fate!" Then he hurried to the front, ordered the riders to bring in the horses, and moved the artillery forward.

Ye Tunnel watched him go away, looked back at Wu Ji again, and sighed: "King Jing has no faith, and I am also the other!" ”

When I heard that the Jing people were going to exchange artillery for Xiong Qi and Mi Ling, the people of the Qin State couldn't believe it at all. Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, specially assigned him and Lord Bai Di to quietly go to the Great Liang Bai Mansion to inspect those artillery. The appearance of this batch of artillery is not different from that that of the Chu army, and it is exactly the same.

When the transaction was made, he asked the other party to test fire, but no one paid attention to the elevation angle of the cannon body when the test firing was nearly 45 degrees, and the people were excited to see the shell hit two miles away, and only when they changed back did they know that its power was far inferior to the active artillery of the Chu State. It is not as powerful as it, and it is very easy to blow up. During the test firing in Rongyang, five doors were blown up, and at that time, I was still thinking that it was a fluke mentality, thinking that it was an improper operation, and now I bombarded the Linzi City Gate, and I realized that it was the problem of the artillery itself.

Ye Tunnel sighed, and he wanted to laugh for some reason. He was happy to see the defeat of the Qin army and was willing for the Qin state to perish, but he also did not want the Chu state to invade the Greek world. Compared with the Qin State, the Chu State is free, if compared with Greece, the Chu State is authoritarian, he will always stand on the side of freedom, unfortunately he does not know how to protect the illusory and ethereal freedom until his death.

After the artillery, the two people who looked like each other did not speak. At the head of Linzi City, when the second artillery exploded, the Qi soldiers in the city barely picked up some courage and began to believe that the Qin artillery was fake. Witnessing the Qin people blowing up two more cannons, they're fake artillery! Artillery fake also! The Qin artillery is fake! The cry became louder. Mu Chong also ordered the knights to rush around the city to announce that the 150,000 army led by the general Tian Luo had arrived in Changguo to calm the hearts of the army and the people.

After these behaviors, Linzi was truly stable, and the soldiers in the city were able to hold the halberd and remember how to defend the city. The Qin artillery stopped firing and put on the horse and prepared to move forward, and immediately someone said: "The Qin artillery is also in front of it!" ”

"Where's the repeater?" Tian Yang was in charge of blocking the doorway, and Mu Chong became the backbone of the city general's rate.

"The crossbow is here!" The crossbow general ran up to make a statement when he heard the sound, and in his nervousness he only thought of the repeater, and nothing else.

"Shoot it with a crossbow to prevent the Qin people from coming forward." Mu Chong's eyes looked at the Qin army's artillery that was moving forward, and he no longer trembled as he did just now. The artillery of the Qin army blew itself up one after another, and it must have been the Chu people who did it; The artillery rarely hit the city gate four hundred and fifty paces away, and it is estimated that the Chu people also made a move. Thinking of this, he shouted again: "Where is the weapon to break the city? ”

No one answered. He asked, "Where is the weapon that breaks the city?" ”

"Yu Junshi, the weapon to break the city is not in Shenmen, General Fu is leading people to move here." A company commander confessed. Mu Chong turned around and saw that the trebuchet was miles away, and the horses were dragging it, and a bunch of people were transporting the trebuchet to Shenmen.

"If you don't save the fire from far away, it's too late!" Mu Chong sighed. The trebuchet is a weapon to defend the city, but it is a pity that such a weapon to defend the city is very unsightly next to the gate of the royal city, and it is all moved to the royal city garden when it is not a war. The trebuchet was several times heavier than the artillery, and when the trebuchet arrived, the city gate was estimated to have been blasted by the Qin people with artillery.

The Qin artillery approached with Mu Chong's sigh, and soon after entering two hundred steps, the repeating crossbows on the city wall began to fire. Even the crossbow could not compare to the Jing crossbow, and the Chu State did not sell the Jing crossbow to the Qi State or transfer the Jing crossbow technology, and the weak arrows not only did not frighten the Qin army that was getting closer and closer, but provoked them to burst into laughter. It's telling them what distance is safe.

Amid the laughter, the cannons were spaced apart from each other where the arrows landed, this time at a distance from the cannons. When the engineer was about to test fire after the column was released, the crossbow general on the city wall shouted again: "Let go——! ”

More than 30 crossbows fired a salvo, and after the salvo was fired, the crossbowmen did not look at the target, immediately pulled the strings and loaded the arrows, and waited for the next round of salvo fire. The order was given quickly, and when the first round of arrows landed, the crossbowman shouted again: "Let it go——! ”

Qin was born simple, he was always bullied by the Jin people before, and now he is bullying the kingdom of heaven under the command of the Jin people. In addition to the official general rate of the three Jin Dynasty, the soldiers don't understand the fancy intestines of the Qi people at all.

The random shooting just now was deliberately dissatisfied with the strings by the Qi people, so that the Qin people could get close and relax their guard. At this moment, seeing the prey caught, the crossbow at the head of the city was cut off, and more than 30 crossbows were fired in a salvo, those engineers and gunners still wanted to laugh, but they felt bad when they saw that the arrows flew halfway, and it was too late to block and hide, and several young engineers were immediately pierced by arrows, and the gunners were also killed and injured a lot.

Fortunately, it was only once they were fooled, and the Qin pawn next to him immediately raised their shields and protected them heavily, and the second round of salvo also injured some gunners, but the results were obviously not as good as the first round.

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the king!! "The soldiers in the city no longer shouted 'artillery is fake', and their morale was high, and they couldn't help shouting 'Long live the king'. Tian Jian, who was still half-paralyzed in the court, asked urgently, "What is it?" What do you mean by a soldier?! ”

"Tell the king, our army has won a big victory over the Qin people!" Anping Juntian said loudly. He is also a person with a lot of fancy intestines, even if he doesn't win against the Qin people, he has to say that he has won the Qin people.

"King, the artillery given by the Chu people to the Qin State is fake, and the Qin people fight with me with fake cannons, and our army will win!" The Minister of State, Tian Fake, also said.

The words of the two courtiers cheered up Tian Jian, and he sat in his position again, "In this way, Linzi can wait for the general to come to the rescue?" ”

"It must be so!" The ministers were unanimous, and their voices were very uneven, but so many people answered in unison, and the converging sound reverberated in the inner court, strengthening people's courage out of thin air.

"The 150,000 army led by the general can arrive in two days, and the 150,000 army of Jimo can arrive in six days, and I don't have to worry about it." The Great Sima Tianzong, who had returned to the Zhengchao from the city, brought up the rescue situation. "And the State of Chu, the State of Qin attacked me in a big way, the prince and princess will say to the King of Chu, if the Chu army does not save it, the King of Chu and Master Yingshi will save me. At that time, the Yingshi came to Zishui again, and the Qin people suffered from the enemy on their backs, and their army would be defeated. ”

Tian Zong is no longer muttering to himself at the head of the city, as the Grand Sima of the Qi State, he must boost the morale of the monarch and his soldiers, and try to wait for reinforcements close at hand. His words really encouraged Tian Jianhe and the powerless ministers in the court. Tian Jian's face showed some joy: "Da Sima said so, my Qi country will not die?" ”

"The general is more than 100 miles away from me, and the fast is one day, and the slow is two days. Linzi only needs to hold on for two days, and the Qin people are defeated. After Tian Zong explained, he said: "The minister heard that in the past, the Qin people attacked Chu, and the king of Chu performed a soil salute to the soldiers in front of the battle, and the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, so he won the Qin people. Today's ministers invite the king to go to the city wall, and also to destroy the whole army, and our army will defeat the Qin people. ”

“…… Widows, widows," Tian Jian's face turned white again, he thought of the battle with the Chu army five years ago, and shook his head vigorously: "The widow is sick, and he can't stand the cold in the city." ”

"What's wrong with the king? He understands medical skills. Tian Gu took a few steps forward and made a color on the tree. Tian Qi knew it, and he also said: "The minister also knows a little about medical skills, please ask the minister to diagnose the king." "Then step forward quickly.

"You, you wait......" The two courtiers came up as they said, Tian Jian was a little panicked, and he looked at his younger brother Tian Jiao while speaking, but Tian Jiao, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, also rebelled, he actually let go of the way a few steps, and let Tian Gu and Tian Qiu grab their arms left and right, and the two said together: "Please treat the king with the minister." With that, he carried him and walked out.

"Rude! You are rude! Save the widow, save the widow quickly......" Tian Jian shouted while struggling, and the servant Zeng Quan wanted to come over to stop him, but was kicked away by the doctors. Of course, his shouting was useless, as long as the ministers could keep the Qi State and their own cities, they would cook Tian Jian and give it to the King of Qin to eat, and they would not hesitate at all. The high-crowned doctors surrounded him and pushed him out of the court.
