Chapter 125 The landing war catapult shows its might
Susanoo hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Among the states, although the slave country has never been on good terms with me, after all, after all, after the same emperor, it may not be impossible to lend a helping hand......
Himiko shook his head with a bitter face, "The Han people were able to arrive at Yamato Castle quietly, and the slave country at this time, as expected, may have been wiped out." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh?"
Susanoo couldn't hide the shock on his face, he never doubted Himiko's divine judgment. But because of this, his fear of the Han army also reached its highest point for a while.
"Go, the matter has come to this, and we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven!"
Himi waved his hand happily, and sat down on the magnificent throne, staring blankly at the golden ceiling with his eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Yamato Castle, in the territory of Nara Prefecture in later generations, was close to the eastern Pacific Ocean, so the fleet of the Wooto Naval Division, in order to be able to directly smash the Yellow Dragon, under the instruction of Han Jun, made a big bend around Kyushu Island. But fortunately, the wind and waves along the way were calm, and the boat was smooth, so it didn't take too much time.
Only by surprise can we attack it unprepared.
Although the soldiers surrendered without a fight, and the soldiers did not fight bloodlessly, Han Jun was not sure that the Yamatai Kingdom would also be as spineless and non-resistant as the slave country.
Every soldier is a good man with iron bones, and they are also the pillars of their family. Therefore, if possible, Han Jun will not let them die in a foreign country in vain.
Although the Japanese people are hateful, the lives of the Han people are undoubtedly more precious.
It was already very close to the coastline, and Han Jun's line of sight could already see the royal palace high above Yamato Castle. However, he did not rush to give the order to land on the shore.
Because, the Yamatai Kingdom is really more backbone than the slave country, and it seems that the preparation for war is more sufficient.
On the steep cliffs and reefs, the Japanese people are densely packed, and they have already begun to build simple fortifications. Clearly, the legendary Himiko was not willing to be tied up.
Resistance, although somewhat unexpected, is also reasonable.
Xun You squinted his eyes, and there was obviously a trace of surprise in his expression that could not be hidden. The resistance of the Japanese people, in his opinion, is tantamount to a mantis arm as a car, is it true that these dwarf mongrels are not afraid of death?
In front of the towering and tall warships of the Han army, how could the Japanese not be afraid? It's just that the firm faith in their hearts made them grit their teeth and leave all their fears behind. They were convinced that the light of Amaterasu would surely bless and protect them. Moreover, their queen will never watch them die.
It is true that the Yamatai Kingdom is a loose alliance, but in the face of Himiko's great prestige, few tribes dare to stand up and say no to Himiko's decision.
They had never had direct contact with the Han people before, let alone seen such a large scene. They only know that the Han Dynasty is vast, rich and prosperous, but they don't have much intuitive feeling about the military strength of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, they are not like the Samhan people, who are cowardly before fighting, and just hearing Han Jun's name scares all their fighting spirit.
They are fearless because of their ignorance, and they look at death because of their faith.
Such people are often the most terrifying. Because you never know how much potential is hidden in their bodies.
Dressed in ugly armor and wielding a wooden club, the pupils of each widow exude a hideous look like a beast.
They are relatively short in stature, but their limbs are exceptionally powerful. The country is mountainous and has few fields, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Therefore, if you want to survive, you must go up the mountains and go down to the sea to fight for your life, fight with the sky and the earth, and even fight with people, so that it is possible to fill your stomach and not starve to death.
There are many poor mountains and bad waters, and the same has been true since ancient times.
Because of the small size of cultivated land, the Japanese people had to rack their brains to increase production if they wanted to be full. In this country where volcanoes can erupt at any time and earth dragons can turn over at any time, the Japanese people seem to be living on a powder keg, and they must always be extremely vigilant. The harsh living environment has created a tenacious and ruthless character of the Japanese people. It is precisely this kind of character that has made this country and this nation tenaciously inherited for thousands of years. The Mongolian iron cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent suffered their losses, the arrogant American soldiers also suffered their losses, and the Chinese nation, which has thousands of years of glory, suffered a big loss on them.
They are like a group of earthworms growing in sludge, desperately trying to absorb all the nutrients they can absorb in order to survive. There is no shame on them to grovel, because they have grown up in darkness. Even if you are crushed, you can grit your teeth and live strongly. They are despicable, they are shameless, they are the wolf of the mountain that is rampant when they have their will, but at the same time they are also a terrible people.
Cutting grass must be eradicated, and killing tigers must not be left behind!
Han Jun squinted his eyes and quietly stared at the busy widows on the shore for a long time, and then slowly raised his hand, "Catapult, prepare!" ”
Catapults were already around in the Spring and Autumn period, and at one time they played a huge role in warfare. At the end of the Warring States period, the Qin general Li Xin attacked Chu, but he was defeated by the great power of the catapult.
However, due to technical reasons, the development of catapults in the Qin and Han dynasties was greatly limited. At this time, the catapult, basically after being used once, will be greatly reduced, will soon be scrapped, and because of the high cost, so it gradually withdrew from the stage of history. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that technological progress solved this problem, and catapults regained their role as a pivotal weapon in warfare.
For Han Jun, the so-called problem, is actually easy to solve. He remembered the principle of leverage, although it was not very clear, but he still had an impression of the difference between laborious and labor-saving levers. The trebuchet in ancient China used a laborious lever, which had the advantage of being far range and powerful, but there were too many disadvantages.
Although Liu Hui, who annotated "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in history, has not yet been born, there is also no shortage of capable people who have studied "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", Han Jun just woke up, and then roughly drew a sketch of labor-saving leverage, and he would immediately wake up the person in his dream.
The catapult with counterweight, the launch distance and launch power are slightly inferior to the previous traditional catapult, but it is better to save time and effort, and can be used continuously and effectively for a long time, and the advantage is not a little obvious.
A new catapult is installed on each warship of the Naval Division, which is destined to bring lifelong memories to the Japanese people.
Han Jun's order quickly turned into a flag and reached the battleships. Then, in the dumbfounded gaze of the Japanese people, with the wave of the launching flag, a huge stone the size of a grinding disc smashed on the top of the Japanese people's heads.
It is conceivable that the horror in the hearts of the Japanese people. Catapults, which were nearly a thousand years ahead of this era, were used on the Japanese people who had just escaped from slave society, and there was a sense of absurdity that anti-aircraft guns were used to fight mosquitoes.
An earth-shattering muffled sound followed, leaving corpses all over the floor. The improvised fortifications built in a hurry by the Japanese could withstand such a bombardment, and they were already unrecognizable in the dust.
The screams of anguish and the screams of terror spread far and wide in the vast sea. But even if the fear in my heart was extreme, the widow who escaped with his life still did not completely collapse. His legs were shaking violently, tears were already on his face, but they were still gritting their teeth and holding on.
In fact, the indiscriminate attack of the catapult is actually very limited in its damage to the Japanese people, but it seems to be more bluffing. Presumably, there are a few people with bright brains who have realized this problem. Therefore, the Japanese were still able to hold their positions and not retreat.
Han Jun smiled, very happily, because he suddenly remembered those "divine dramas" he had watched in his previous life. The plot of tearing the devil and hiding the thunder in the crotch of his pants is so similar to the scene in front of him. It's just that it's just self-amusing nonsense, but what is happening in front of you is so real.
"Fierce fire oil, ready!"
The corners of Han Jun's mouth twitched unconsciously, and after giving this order, he already realized what might happen next. Rao is that his heart has been honed as hard as a rock, and Rao is that his mind is full of irrepressible hatred. But at this moment, he still uncontrollably gave birth to a trace of compassion.
Taking a deep breath, Han Jun remembered what Emperor Kangxi had said, and used this sentence to remind himself that a moment of soft-heartedness would only bring endless troubles.
The trembling and waiting people watched as the terrible dragon raised its hideous head again, and the more timid ones began to plan in their hearts to run away. And the rest of the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, who were loyal to Amaterasu and the queen of Himiko, inevitably trembled.
In the face of the threat of death, no one will really regard death as home, but the difference is that some people would rather sacrifice their lives for righteousness, while some people will always regard "it is better to die than to live" as the first creed of life.
"Rocket, ready!"
Before the fire oil was launched, Han Jun gave another order, an order that was enough to send all the Japanese people to hell.
The huge power of the fierce fire oil has spread all over the Han Dynasty, and it is a very important reason for the surrender of the three Koreas without a fight.
However, the widows who are lonely abroad do not know. Therefore, when they saw from a distance that what the Han army threw this time was just some clay pots and jars that did not look threatening, some bold Japanese people actually laughed arrogantly, laughing at the Han army's poor donkey skills, and they actually took bottles and cans to make up the number when there were no stones to use.
