After seeing the generals leave in a hurry, Zhou Bian turned his eyes to the front again, and the oncoming air still carried the smell of summer rain, but the morning sun had risen, and under the red sun, there was a black army moving slowly like ants, and the hundreds of tall instruments, flashing the color of logs, were like green insects carried by ants when they moved, and they were particularly conspicuous in a piece of black.

How did the Han army make the catapult? After arranging the countermeasures, Zhou Bian had time to think about this matter. Obviously, Han Jun learned about the production method of catapults from the royal family, because in this era, catapults are definitely Zhou Bian's originality, and if Han Jun knew it first, then why did he take it out this time? If Han Jun happened to invent it himself, it is estimated that no one would believe it.

Obviously, the Han army learned about the production method of the catapult ten days ago, so the Korean army strictly controlled the surrounding area of the military camp in the past ten days, and did not let the royal family find out the news, so it also made sense, it seems that the Korean army is also afraid of attracting the surprise attack of the Zhou room, or wants to suddenly take out the weapon that the Zhou room is proud of, in order to give the Zhou room a hard blow.

The purpose of the Korean army has been achieved, and the impact of hundreds of catapults on the hearts of the royal soldiers is still quite large, at least now, there are already the shouts of the commanders, but the noise has not completely subsided.

However, Zhou Bian believes that even if the Korean army brings catapults, it will not succeed today. Because the soldiers of the royal family have grown up, the mortality rate of both sides has grown from one to two at the beginning to one to three at the last time, Zhou Bian believes that this difference will become larger, and with the experience of dealing with night attacks last time, Zhou Bian believes that even if it is a short battle, the soldiers of the royal family will no longer be afraid of the Korean army. Koreanophobia, gone.

But how exactly did the Korean army make the catapult? This question has always been unavoidable, and finding out this problem is extremely important for the next series of work, otherwise, I believe that many people in the royal family will not be able to sleep well. So, how did Han Jun know how to make a catapult? Was it seen by soldiers during the siege after climbing the walls? Obviously not, if the Han soldiers could have the leisure to look at the structure of the catapult while being attacked on the city wall, then it was obvious that his martial arts skills could determine the victory of a war.

Could it be the Korean army spy in the city? So how did he get the news out? And it was only ten days ago, not earlier or later, could it be that there was something so special ten days ago that the Korean spy sent the news out? Zhou Bian thought about it, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

Or is there a mole in Luoyang City? It's hard to say about this, the scope is too wide, and there are all kinds of possibilities. But there are two problems, first, instead of passing on the information of the catapult, it is better for the traitor to spread some other useful news, or simply open the city gate, so it can be seen that if it is a traitor, the identity of the traitor must not be high. Second, it goes back to the question just now, how did the traitor send the news, although as a traitor than a Korean traitor, there are more channels to send the news, but I still can't escape that question, why was it ten days ago?

While pondering, he suddenly heard a voice beside him, "King, Han Jun has stopped." ”

Only then did Zhou Bian wake up, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Fan Yu.

Looking ahead, I saw that the tens of thousands of Korean troops had stopped two miles away, still an old place, a familiar seat, but what was different was that it was the tall equipment, which originally belonged to the royal family, but appeared in the opposing army.

The Han army paused for a while, and the earth-shattering drumming sound came from afar. In the midst of the drumbeat, the three large arrays took the lead, and the hundreds of catapults were among them, and it seemed that the Han army did not intend to warm up, so they directly got on the killing weapon.

Stepping on the drum, the three large formations slowly moved towards Luoyang, although it was not the first time that the scene of the army forcing the city was seen, but this time, it still gave the royal family great pressure.

Seeing that the three large arrays were getting closer and closer, all the catapults on the head of Luoyang City were pulled down, filled with large stones, and ready to give the attacking enemy the strongest counterattack.

As the sky gradually brightened and the three large formations of the Han army approached, everyone at the head of Luoyang City could clearly see what the tall equipment looked like. The wide base, triangular bracket and long catapult pole are exactly the same as the catapults erected behind the Luoyang city wall, except that the Korean army has set up a longer base to facilitate the movement of dozens of soldiers carrying the catapults. It turns out that Han Jun is really a copy, and I don't know how many people in Luoyang City have a strong sense of anger in their hearts, obviously it's my thing, why can you take it out?

But even if there are dozens of soldiers carrying a catapult, the large array moves extremely slowly, it takes a while to travel half a mile away, and at this time it can be clearly counted, there are forty catapults in the middle of the large array, and there are thirty on each side, a total of one hundred, which is really a big deal, and compared with this, the royal family is only more than eighty around the Dingding Gate, ten to eight, does the advantage of the royal family still exist?

I still don't know how far the range of the Han army's catapults is, but I see that there are a full forty catapults going straight to the gate of Dingding Gate, and the panicked Zhou Mi Fan Yu and others are busy persuading the king to come, this flying stone can not be compared to the arrows, the top of the city tower hall can block the arrows, but it must not be able to block the stones flying from the sky, a burst of stone rain down, this city tower hall is only afraid that it will break many holes immediately, how to let the king take risks.

However, Zhou Bian was naturally reluctant to retreat, Fan Yu and the others had to grab the big shield, standing tightly beside the king, wanting to block the stones with layers of big shields, although they hadn't tried, but after all, the sergeant holding the big shield was alive, and there were still a batch of people who were stoned to death, compared to the top of the main hall, it must be much more reliable.

In the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, the hundred catapults are getting closer and closer, and it can be clearly seen that there are fifty soldiers carrying each catapult, and there are hundreds of soldiers carrying baskets behind them, and there are also hundreds of soldiers holding shields and spears to guard, it seems that the Han army is also very thoughtful.

Seeing that the three large formations had entered within a mile of the city wall, a sergeant immediately ran to ask for instructions, "King, the enemy army has entered the range of our army's stone-throwing, do you want to attack?" ”

"Fight, fight now, or wait until they have a good fight?" Zhou Bian immediately slapped the board.

Soon, nearly 100 catapults that had been prepared roared one after another, and the flying stones crossed the city wall of Luoyang, and smashed towards the invading Korean army, and more than a dozen pounds of stones smashed into the dense Korean soldiers, so that the Korean army quickly paid the first casualty of today's battle.

Braving the flying stones, the Han army still advanced slowly, and the tens of thousands of large shields were also raised, protecting the taxis carrying the catapults. However, he didn't go far, and the second wave of flying stones from Luoyang fell down again, this time the royal family's luck was extremely good, and it smashed at the foot of a catapult, knocking down half of the Han soldiers who carried the catapult, and the tall catapult suddenly crooked and fell in the army, causing a sensation.

The cheers immediately sounded from the head of Luoyang City, and everyone immediately understood the disadvantage of the Han army, that is, the opponent's catapult must be moved to its own catapult attack range to attack, so do not shout at the commander, the people learned the situation and used their best strength, and soon, the third flying stone flew out. This time, he didn't knock down another catapult.

"Swap the chain!"

As the heralds shouted, the latest military orders were quickly conveyed, and although many people did not agree with the words invented by the king, the soldiers and civilians still faithfully carried out the military orders. At this time, the Han army approached Luoyang another thirty paces.

It was a specially made chain bullet, and two stones were wrapped in a rope connected in the middle, and one after the other flew in circles in the air towards the enemy. The chain bullet really killed a wide area, and this round of the South Korean army not only paid the price of more than 200 people, but also smashed several catapults, although they were not knocked down, but the huge impact force will still bring some damage to the bracket of the catapult.

At this time, the Han army also seemed to enter a satisfactory distance, and the three large formations came to a halt with a bang, and a hundred catapults were quickly placed. Yes, a hundred, because one of the catapults that had just fallen was lifted up again and carried over by a substitution.

As soon as the 100 catapults were put down, there was a slight confusion in the Korean army, and groups of soldiers began to operate the catapults under the orders of the commander. And Zhou Bian, who has been watching the Han army's every move, didn't expect the Han army to turn from a walking state to a fighting state so quickly, Zhou Bian asked himself if the royal family set up the catapult outside, it wouldn't be so fast, after all, the catapult must be fixed before it can be used to attack, does the Han army have any tricks?

Under the nervous gaze of thousands of troops on the city wall, the long catapult rod of the Han army's catapult was pulled down, and according to the operation steps of the royal family, it was time to load the stones here. I didn't think that at this moment, Luoyang's catapult was once again powerful, and the chain bullets that swirled in the air whistled and smashed towards the Han army, this time it was even worse, and knocked down a large number of Korean soldiers, among which a catapult was smashed over, and the huge elasticity made the catapult shelf shake, and then it smashed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and I don't know how many of my own people were injured.

However, after this flying stone was smashed, the Han army finally began to fight back, this was the first show of the Han army's catapult on the battlefield, and suddenly everyone in Luoyang City turned their curious eyes to the ninety-nine catapults, even the royal soldiers, who completely forgot to dodge. Zhou Bian also clenched his fists and stared at the city tightly, so panicked that Fan Yu and the others had already raised the big shield, and they were almost in front of the king and on his head.

Seeing that the long catapult under the pressure of the other party's catapult bounced up fiercely under the action of gravity of the weight, everyone in the city held their breath, the huge power of the catapult, the people of Luoyang thought it was, and now it ran into the hands of the enemy, how can people not pay attention?

However, in the eyes of all the people, a funny scene appeared, more than 90 catapults, nearly half of them failed to complete their debut and lay down, under the gravity of the heavy object, some of the nearly half of the catapults turned directly forward, some fell to the left, some fell to the right, and some directly broke the shaft and collapsed to the ground, in short, there were all kinds of situations, the huge equipment smashed to the ground, stirring up not only dust, but also I don't know how many Korean soldiers were injured, which shocked a riot among the Korean army.

And most of the remaining fifty or so catapults that completed their debut were not so beautiful, a small number of them directly smashed the stones in front of them, and the huge impact smashed on the Han soldiers who had no time to dodge, and Zhou Bian in the distance couldn't help but shiver when he saw it, this was only afraid that it was really going to be smashed into a meat pie, but there were still most catapults that threw stones, although the curve was not so beautiful, although some were thrown out directly, but after all, they were still thrown out, but most of them were smashed to the ground before they reached the Luoyang city wall, This range, fortunately, the South Korean army will not attack the city, otherwise their own people will be beaten by their own equipment, and it is good that the South Korean army does not immediately collapse.

There are still a very few, and it is estimated that only about 20 stones fell on the Luoyang city wall, but not a single Luoyang soldier was hit, because on the sparse city wall and behind the city wall, it was not a difficult thing to dodge a stone falling from the sky, of course, this loose formation was also specially ordered by Zhou Bian to go down. However, a few corpses smashed on the wall of the city wall, or smashed a small pit, if there are a few more in the same position, not to mention the wall bricks, even the wall has the possibility of collapse, which is also the great power of the catapult as a siege weapon.

Suddenly there was a cheer on the head of Luoyang City, and the sound of cheering, a boiling, indeed, a hundred catapults, at least five hundred stones, only twenty or so hit the target, but nearly half of the catapults fell down on the first work, accidentally injured a piece, there is nothing more funny than this funny scene, in this era when there is no big drama and almost no entertainment, it is estimated that this scene will be deeply imprinted in the minds of many Luoyang soldiers, and will be told to the companions over and over again in the days to come.

In fact, at the moment when the first other party's catapult fell, Zhou Bian breathed a sigh of relief, because others didn't know, how could Zhou Bian, who was the inventor of the catapult, not see that the Korean army had built a hundred catapults in a hurry for ten days, where would it be carefully debugged, where would it be good to train soldiers and even formulate meticulous plans, and it would be good to think of using people to carry it, and where could you notice that the catapult also has extremely high requirements for the ground because of its own huge strength?

The royal family's catapults are fixed on the ground with wooden stakes, so as to ensure that they are not overturned, and although the base of the Han army's catapult is wide, it is placed on the ground, where can it withstand the huge force at the moment when the rope is cut, not to mention that the ground outside the Dingding Gate is not flat, so some of the Han army's catapults fall forward, some to the left, and some to the right.

So, Zhou Bian, who figured this out, relaxed his nervous heart in an instant, and then looked at the chaotic Han army, Zhou Bian's eyes were only left with pity for Han Bing, this has not started yet, and he killed many of his own people by mistake, how can this be fought?

And just after the poor twenty or so stones fell on the city wall of Luoyang, immediately, with the cheers and laughter in the sky, the royal family's catapult began a new round of power.
