Chapter 278: Breaking the City
The sound just now is just a modern salute, just for listening. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But even if it's for a sound, if it's quite amazing, that's what you want.
The sound was enough to draw everyone's attention to it.
Take them to see him first, not artillery, but a large section of the city built there, the city wall.
The city wall is very high, it seems that there is a height of three or four zhang, and the width is also very wide, and the width of the ancient city wall can at least run side by side, four horses.
That is to say, there are two train tracks and up, generally wide.
None of the people present were short-sighted, after all, in those days, there were very few people who read dead books.
They believe in reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, so they are considered well-informed.
"This section of the wall looks like it's all in one piece, and there are no gaps.
Neither earth nor stone, could this be the legendary Peace Valley city wall? ”
A scholar has some property in his family, and the shopkeeper under his hand has been to the Valley of Peace, and has come back to say a lot of strange things about the Valley of Peace.
For example, a person-high glass mirror can reflect people in detail.
The glass lamps on the street can easily wash the dirty things off the clothes on the body.
A perfume that has swept thousands of girls.
There are many, many more, and one of them is the integrated city wall that I see now, and the whole circle of the city wall feels like a whole without any gaps.
Eventually, the city wall, which was not available anywhere else except the Valley of Peace, was called the Wall of the Valley of Peace.
When he was at home, he heard the shopkeeper talk about it, and at that time he thought that the shopkeeper was exaggerating.
Now that I see that Fang knows what the shopkeeper at home said, he is not exaggerating by half a point, and it is really tightly integrated.
"I just don't know if this wall of the Peace Valley is really as impregnable as the legend says!"
The scholar was curious.
"Here, give you a hammer, you try." A hammer was really stretched out for him next to him.
He took it naturally, and then ...... Please note this, then.
Then he almost got hit in the foot with a hammer, and he flashed his waist because of it.
Because the hammer was so heavy, he couldn't lift it at all, and he couldn't lift it with both hands.
The scholar wiped a cold sweat and looked back at the man who had handed him the hammer.
He wanted to see what this ill-intentioned man looked like, and what kind of grudges and grudges he had?
actually wanted to trap him so much, he almost hurt himself!
Then he looked back and saw a simple face, still smiling, this was a soldier from the Valley of Peace.
The hammer that was handed to him just now was one of the weapons in the soldier's hand.
"You want to hurt me?" The scholar said angrily.
"Nope!" The honest soldier is in a hurry, why is his kindness treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?
"Don't you want to know if this section of the wall is really impregnable?
Sir gave us orders long before you came.
If you suspect that this section of the wall is not strong enough, then we will help you as much as possible.
Destroy this section of the wall, just saw that you wanted to try it so much, so I handed you a hammer. ”
The soldier's face was full of innocence, which made the scholar embarrassed to blame him.
After the soldiers said this, everyone saw that there were many siege engines in front of the wall.
But of course, there are no such things as ladders, because all the siege equipment here is for city breaking.
For example, battering rams, such as hitting wood, and then rushing cars, if you want to siege the city, heavy weapons catapults are of course necessary.
Anyway, before the Song Dynasty, all the city-breaking weapons in history were all here!
What does this mean?
This clearly said that these people in front of them should test the solidity of this section of the city wall.
However, there are some scholars in front of them, so it's okay for them to study, it's okay to dream, and there are even a few who are okay with martial arts.
But to let them break the city, it will be too difficult for them!
Go up to the green building, drink wine, listen to little songs and sing songs, these are okay, break the city? Don't be funny!
However, there are always exceptions!
For example, Yue Fei is an exception.
He is now also a student of the academy.
And he was a former military student.
happened to come with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were some guards.
Therefore, after Chen Jincai said that they should find a way to break the city, Yue Fei made a move.
This section of the city wall has no gates, so the rudimentary timber is basically useless.
I heard that this thing is specially used to destroy the city wall, and Yue Fei uses it very slippery.
Sure enough, under his command, the chariots used by the guards began to destroy the city walls.
All right!
In fact, this thing is far worse than the battering ram.
What kind of thing is a battering ram?
It's just a big sturdy hanger, with a big hammer marked on it, something like a pendulum.
Well, it's just a big pendulum, swinging, swinging.
came to a phoenix legend, and then was surprised to find that the destructive power was very large, and the engineering hammer was also powerless against this section of the city wall.
"Ancestor, this section of the city wall is made of cement and stones burned in the Valley of Peace, as well as sand and some hard wood inserted in the middle as bones.
Poured out, absolutely worthy of the word impregnable, this word. ”
Chen Jincai said to Yue Fei: "If you still don't believe it, then there is only one last resort for you."
That's the catapult, whether it's a small, medium, or the largest, I've got you covered.
As long as you know how to use it, even a stone the size of a millstone can be thrown at it and smashed on top of the city wall. ”
Indeed, although Chen Jincai's words were harsh, what he said was the truth.
The battering ram that could be said to be a great threat to other city walls was actually powerless against this section of the city wall in front of him, leaving only a few shallow pits.
This is the power of high-hardness cement, cement!
When it comes to military and civilian use, when it is said to be modern, the difference between this is a matter of hardness.
Hardness is actually the result of a different ratio.
The results are different depending on the ratio.
For example, it is also nitrate and charcoal combined with sulfur. Some can be used to open mountains and split rocks, while others can only be used to set off fireworks.
The difference is a millimeter, and this is the case.
However, everything is afraid of seriousness, and for Heping Valley, it is not a problem to try eight thousand times and find the hardest ratio.
So this is completely there, the prototype of the modern kind of military fortress, that kind of fortress.
Although it is said that it cannot be protected against shells, it is not a big deal for a simple manpower siege equipment like a battering ram!
However, although it is said to be able to defend against battering rams.
But can you prevent the big catapult?
At a distance of hundreds of meters, it is impossible to determine how much kinetic energy a stone with the size of a grinding disc can be projected.
Yue Fei had already taken the people and was ready in front of the largest catapult, for whom the final attempt to break the city was about to begin!
