Cao Kun listened to the order, his blood burned all over his body, and his mood was extremely surging! "Yes!" he shouted. ”

Quickly turned around, climbed to the roof from the middle of the treadmill, held the flag in his hand, stood on the top of the treadmill, and began to shake back and forth, and soon, not far away, a horn sounded.

Soon behind the mechanical legion, smoke and dust billowed out, and one after another two or three feet high stone throwers moved forward steadily, like tall giants, slowly coming from a distance, and there were so many that there were six or seven white frames.

After moving hundreds of steps, it gradually gathered more than three hundred steps away from Shiyan City, as if hundreds of Tyrannosaurus Rex were about to tear a crack in the solid Shiyan City.

Xing Yike stood on the city wall, through the gap in the city wall, and saw the formation of the stone thrower outside, and his whole mood instantly became very bad.

Many of Zheng Jun's ordnance are modeled after the Song Kingdom, this stone throwing machine, he has also dabbled, in his impression, Zheng Jun's stone throwing machine, the highest is about two zhang, absolutely not as tall as the Song Army.

I couldn't help but sigh, the Song State was really a big country in ordnance, and the ordnance forging technology was brought into full play, and the vassal states, I am afraid that only the Song State was qualified to form a mechanical army.

After arriving at the predetermined position, there are eight supports on all sides, which pierce into the ground to ensure that during the attack, the stone throwing machine will not collapse due to violent shaking.

These are not the most important things for Xing Yike, the most important problem is that the stone thrower siege is very terrifying, and when attacking, by throwing stones, filth, wooden stakes, etc., all kinds of things, forming a similar arrow rain attack.

Under the rain of artillery and stones, no one can stop its edge.

If the opponent bombards continuously, day and night, the stone bullets thrown can almost fill up the city, and it is simply an invincible existence in the siege battle.

He participated in many battles of Song and Zheng, whether in the Eastern Front or on the Western Front, the Song army rarely used mechanical troops, and even in the memory of Xing Yike, in the battlefield of the Western Front, the Song army never used mechanical troops successfully.

For decades, the battle of Song and Zheng, the most tragic and worst situation, is nothing more than when Zhu Hai guarded Liangming Pass, more than ten zhang high, the checkpoint built by the mountain, Shengsheng was captured by the Song army's mechanical troops, 200,000 troops, under the joint calculation of Song and Yan, most of the army, forced to take refuge in the Yan army, the veteran Zhu Hai, in the face of the Song army's onslaught, directly killed!

From then on, Zheng Guo began to enter an eventful season!

Today, there are dense siege equipment outside Shiyan City, and the number is by no means less than the battle of Liang Mingguan, and Shiyan City is not as strong as Liang Mingguan, and he is not like the veteran Zhu Hai, who is famous for his good defense, so today's battle is very, very difficult.

However, after many fierce battles with the Song army, Xing Yike knew that the Song army was very strong, but it was not an iron scalp, and it would still die in battle, and as long as it occupied favorable terrain, it would still defeat the Song army.

He is also different from Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai is good at defending, he is good at attacking, today's battle, who is strong and who is weak, who wins and who loses, is unpredictable, but he doesn't want to lose.

Looking at the Song army's stone-throwing troops who were preparing to attack the city, Xing Yike shrank down, shouted to the guards on the city wall, and said: "All squatting, close to the city wall, the Song army troops have not reached the attack range, they must not take the lead, let alone attack, strive to preserve the living force, wait for the other party to enter the attack range, and then go all out to fight." ”

"Yes!" Hearing Xing Yike's order, the defenders in the city wall quickly shrank their bodies, squatted, and hid their bodies behind the city wall, and suddenly looked from a distance, as if there was no defense on the city wall.

Below the city wall, Meng Kuo couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Zheng Jun's actions on the city wall.

Defending to the death, it is definitely not a good way, the punishment of Ike is known as a famous general, if he defends Shiyan City today, tomorrow, he will step into the footsteps of Zhu Hai and become Zheng Guozhong, another famous general who died for the country.

Glancing at the well-prepared stone-throwing troops, he nodded to Cao Kun beside him, Cao Kun understood, waved the flag in his hand, and signaled the troops to attack.

"Fill!"

"Attack!"

After the slogan sounded, the soldiers quickly put the boulder and burning wood into the groove of the stone thrower, and then released the rope that controlled the groove, and suddenly released the groove to bounce up quickly, like a wild horse, going forward and following.

For a time, in the battlefield, six or seven hundred stone throwers sounded the sound of bang bang.

In the groove of each stone thrower, six or seven stones the size of a watermelon flew out of the groove and entered the air, spreading out at a speed and rushing straight to Shiyan City.

These hundreds of catapults attacked at the same time, the air was densely packed with stones flying, those burning firewood, moving forward quickly, facing the gale, making a whirring sound, the flames became more and more vigorous, the whole scene, as if it was the end of the world, meteorites fell from the sky, as if they wanted to destroy all the creatures in front of them.

The stones in the air, burning firewood flew wildly, forming a very terrifying scene in the air, and in the process of moving forward, it was like a huge creature, opening its bloody mouth in the air and engulfing Shiyan City.

Fortunately, Ike had ordered the soldiers in the city walls to hide behind the battlements in advance, and they could not see the spark flickering. Otherwise, witnessing this fierce and violent scene with your own eyes, you will not be scared to roll N.

Gush!

Squirt!

Bang bang bang!

The first stone struck the city wall, sending out a slight vibration, which could not shake the wall made of rocks at all, but the stone was shattered and quickly fell under the city wall, and the good thing stone was thrown into the lake, and the splash was almost negligible.

When the second, third, and even more stones hit the city wall, it instantly caused the city wall to shake violently, and many Zheng Jun who were hiding under the city wall were even shocked by the heavy impact of the stones on the city wall, and were blown away through the battlements of the city wall.

It seems that countless stones were thrown into the lake at the same time, causing turbulent waves on the surface of the lake, not to mention, and causing the fish in the lake to be directly bounced away, and the situation was very bad.

The thick city wall, under the continuous impact of stones, is like a giant as a mountain, and the battlements built of those huge stones are also safe and sound, only the soldiers hiding behind the city wall are miserable.

The sound of heavy impact, like a heavy drum vibrating in the ears, makes people miserable, and more importantly, when those stones fall on the top of the city wall, temporarily forming defenses, those simple defenses, not to mention the collapse of those simple defenses on the spot, when the burning firewood falls on it, sparks splash everywhere, directly ignite a fire, and smoke billows up on the city wall.

The fire, the smoke, the stones, the sound of the impact, Zheng Jun's situation has become very bad, it is simply indescribable!

Looking at the spreading flames, Xing Yike was anxious and built a defense on the city wall, just to block the Song army's arrow rain, but he never expected the Song army to start a war, so he used a stone thrower to throw burning firewood, so that the built defense ignited a fire, not to mention, but also threatened the lives of the soldiers on the city wall at any time.

He did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly extinguish the nearby flames, as for the farther places, which could not threaten the lives of the soldiers, simply let them burn, even if the smoke and the strong west wind would quickly blow away all the flames, but it would not threaten the lives of everyone.

Otherwise, if a large army is sent to fight the fire, with the continuous attack of the Song army's stone-throwing troops under the city, it will definitely cause serious casualties, and it will not be cost-effective at that time.

After doing all this, he led the soldiers to continue to stay behind the city wall, not daring to take the lead, let alone fighting back, and the situation was aggrieved, but he was still able to save everyone's lives.

Under the city wall, Meng Kuo's eyes watched the situation on the head of the city, looking at Zheng Jun's turtle and not moving, seeing that Shiyan City was under the onslaught of stones, there was no damage, and he was not in a hurry, he turned around and sat in the rest place in the treadmill, and said to the deputy general Bai Yufei: "Stone throwing troops, continue to attack for half an hour, and then, you personally lead the siege tower, cloud ladder, and three-bow bed crossbow troops, cooperate with each other, try to attack the city, and test the reality of Zheng Jun." ”

Although the walls of Shiyan City are strong, they are made of huge stones after all, not a natural piece, under the onslaught of stones, he does not believe that he cannot destroy the city!

Even if after half an hour, the city wall cannot be destroyed and the city can be entered, as long as Bai Yufei personally leads other troops to attack the city, at that time, attacking Shiyan City will be like walking on the ground, and there will not be too many obstacles.

At present, in his opinion, the only thing that the Zheng army relies on is Shiyan City, as long as Shiyan City is breached, the Zheng army has no danger to defend, the two sides fight hand-to-hand, the Song army has an advantage in numbers, and the trapped camp is a very good siege army, Shiyan City can't hold it at all.

Bai Yufei took the order, quickly left the treadmill, turned around and walked towards the rear army, attacking Shiyan City, annihilating the main force of the Zheng army, it will be a battle to destroy the country, to be able to participate in such a war, as a general, he feels that he is lucky, so he is bound to go all out.

The trebuchet troops, still attacking continuously, they seem to be mechanical, the technique is standard, unified, C is very skilled, every time they attack, there are always overwhelming stones, like dense birds, stormy, quickly flying under the city, and finally heavy on the city wall.

A quick stone, a piece of flame, fell from the sky, even if the Zheng army hid behind the city wall, even if the city wall defense helped them block many attacks, it was still inevitable to cause accidental casualties.

When those stones are smashed on the city wall, they will directly hit into powder, but it does not matter, once they are smashed in the corridor of the city wall, they often cause unnecessary problems, often causing life danger and death.

Those soldiers who were hit by stones were almost killed or wounded, and if they were stoned to death on the spot, they would not suffer any pain, and those who were seriously injured were in a miserable situation.

And after experiencing the pain, the next moment, maybe he was killed by a flying stone falling from the sky, and Zheng Jun was in a very dangerous situation.

For a time, on the city wall, there were many places where ghosts cried and wolves howled.

Zheng Jun is more or less a veteran of a hundred battles, and he fought the battlefield of the crowd of people, but unfortunately, he only fought on the battlefield of the crowd of people.

They had never experienced this kind of fierce attack like a rain of artillery and stones, if it weren't for the refusal to defend the city, there would still be a defense, not to mention their casualties, and their inner will might have completely dissipated under the onslaught of the Song army's machinery.

Become a frightened bird and flee in all directions!
