Chapter 351: Fighting Jia Meng Pass Again (1)
The night was uneventful, the Hanzhong army did not send troops to attack at night, I don't know if Wei Yan was really seriously injured, or he had no intention of attacking at night again, in short, the worried Zhang Ren spent the night safely.
After the morning meal, Zhang Renrang arranged for the soldiers to block outside Jiameng Pass and routinely call for battle.
The Hanzhong army on the Jiameng Pass, as yesterday, turned a deaf ear to the call of the Shu army under the pass.
By the afternoon, though, the situation had changed.
As Zhang Ren expected, at noon yesterday, after the main general Wu Yi received the news that his vanguard had been attacked at night and suffered serious damage, he sent reinforcements in time. This afternoon, 50,000 reinforcements arrived at Jiameng Pass.
With 60,000 troops in hand, it will no longer be difficult to conquer Jiameng Pass!
It's just that it was already afternoon when the reinforcements arrived, and the ants were attached to attack the fortifications, which was obviously not today's thing.
Another night was uneventful, and early the next morning, the 60,000 Shu army set up a siege posture.
Fifteen trebuchets were quickly assembled, and dozens of ladders, which had been built yesterday afternoon, were also ready to be put into place; Guarded by the tower shields, the archers were also ready to go. As long as Zhang Ren gave an order, the soldiers would rush to Jiameng Pass like a tide.
In the case of no tricks, whether it is attacking the city or tackling the fortification, it can only be done in the form of ant attachment!
Looking at the Hanzhong army that was waiting for Jia Meng Pass, Zhang Ren is now full of ambition: the Hanzhong army guarding the pass is only 5,000, and the Shu army under his command Zhang Ren has more than 60,000 people, even if their Shu army fills it with human lives, they can exhaust the Hanzhong army guarding the pass!
Moreover, the method of adding oil was used to fight with the Hanzhong army guarding the pass, and finally he Zhang Ren was able to capture this pass.
As long as they can capture Jiameng Pass, the Shu army can drive straight into the city and kill the city of Hanzhong in one fell swoop.
In this way, he Zhang Ren was able to recover Hanzhong for the Lord and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
Isn't it very common for some soldiers to be lost in the process?
……
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The war drums were finally beaten, not only the Shu army beat the war drums, but also the Hanzhong army on the gate also beat the war drums.
In the rhythmic sound of war drums, the first to make a move was the trebuchet of the Shu army.
Compared with the trebuchets improved by Pang Tong, the trebuchets of the Shu army are all old-fashioned.
Each trebuchet is very large and complex, and even if there is a wheel under the trebuchet, it takes forty or fifty people to push it, and when it is operated, it also takes forty or fifty people to make the trebuchet roar.
Normally, trebuchets are stored in the form of parts, which are transported to the front line when needed in wartime, and then quickly assembled by craftsmen. These fifteen trebuchets of the Shu army were brought by Yuan Jun yesterday and assembled yesterday afternoon.
With the efforts of a group of trebuchets, fifteen trebuchets were quickly put into place.
"Check the trebuchet to see if there's anything out of the ordinary!"
A lieutenant commanded, and then the soldiers operating the trebuchets began to quickly check.
These soldiers are specialized in operating trebuchets, and they are familiar with the various parts and properties of trebuchets, know which places are prone to failure, and know how to check them quickly.
"There's nothing unusual about Trebuchet One!"
"There's nothing unusual about trebuchet two!"
“……”
After a round of inspection, there were no abnormalities in the fifteen trebuchets.
This is also inevitable, after all, these trebuchets were assembled yesterday afternoon, and even if there was a problem with one of the parts, it would have been replaced and repaired when it was assembled yesterday. The reason why we need to check and confirm it now is only the last inspection before the war.
"The largest cantilever, twenty pounds of stone bullets, start the test firing!"
The lieutenant continued to order.
As a lieutenant in charge of the trebuchet, he is naturally familiar with the steps of trebuchet launch.
The trebuchet position here is about 300 steps away from the wall of Jiameng Pass, which is the maximum range of the trebuchet. In the case of the maximum combat range, the trebuchet must be adjusted to the maximum cantilever and can only use twenty pounds of stone projectiles. If you use a stone bullet of thirty catties or fifty catties, you can't reach Jiamengguan at all; If you use a ten-pound stone bullet, you don't like to increase the range by a few more steps.
This is common sense to operate a trebuchet all year round!
As the slingers turned the winch, the trebuchets creaked, and stone bullets were placed in the baskets used for projectiles.
"Put!" The lieutenant roared angrily, and even the sound of war drums could not hide his sound.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of stone bullets tearing through the air came one after another.
One by one, the stone bullets flew towards the Jiameng Pass at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the range of several stone bullets was still a little insufficient, and they fell to the ground in advance before they flew close to the wall of the Jiameng Pass, smashing the ground into a big pit. There were a few stone bullets that smashed into the Guanqiang Mountain, but they were only at the corner of the Guanqiang, except for smashing out small pits, there was no threat to the Hanzhong army on the Jiameng Pass.
There were only two stone bullets, and the range was enough, but they flew directly over the wall of Jiameng Pass.
As for whether there were any direct casualties, it is unknown.
Seeing this, the captain was a little disappointed.
The trebuchet is this virtue, although the maximum range is 300 steps, but there is no guarantee that the maximum range of each trebuchet is 300 steps, nor can it be guaranteed that the range of each trebuchet is about the same.
Now, his fifteen trebuchets, at a distance of three hundred paces, can pose a threat to Jiameng Pass, there are only about two.
Of course, if he continued to move the trebuchet forward thirty or fifty paces, his fifteen trebuchets would be able to threaten the wall of Jia Meng Pass. The problem was that if they moved forward thirty or fifty paces, their slingers would be within range of the bed crossbow and the rhubarb crossbow.
Within range of both sides, trebuchets and crossbowmen fight each other?
Unless the slinger's brain is gnawed by a donkey!
……
Jia Meng Guan, closed the wall, and when he saw the stone bullet flying, Wei Yan's eyes jumped.
The power of the trebuchet, even if it is a fierce general of the Condensation Gang Realm, if it is hit, it is still a pill. Moreover, Wei Yan had seen the Pang Tong brand trebuchet at the bottom, so when the Shu army first launched the trebuchet, Wei Yan secretly said that it was not good.
However, Wei Yan quickly put his mind at ease.
Except for two of these flying stone bullets, the other dozen or so pose no threat to Jia Mengguan!
If there are two stone bullets, even if they are desperately smashed, how many people can be killed after a day's fighting?
This has to be guaranteed to be 100% hit!
"General, do you want to destroy the enemy's trebuchet?" The Guards asked.
Wei Yan didn't care about the trebuchet of the Shu army, but his personal guards didn't care. Even if the enemy only threw two stone bullets, who knows when, these two sections will be smashed on the head of their general?
For the guards, this has to be guarded against.
And the way to prevent trebuchets is to destroy the enemy's trebuchets! Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
