Chapter 210: The Giant Catapult Siege

On that day, the battle was unfavorable, and Feng Yao ordered the siege troops to temporarily retreat, because tomorrow, the four buildings under construction would be completed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These four building cars are seven zhang high, one zhang higher than the city wall of Langling City, the base is also more than three zhang, the inside of the building car is hollow, and the soldiers with great life force can hide in the middle during the siege of the city, and push the building car to forcibly land the city from the building car!

After resting for a night, as soon as it was dark the next day, Feng Yao immediately ordered the soldiers besieging the city to be fed, and there were hundreds of people hidden in the building car, and Xiong Wei was assisted from outside and pushed hard.

Each building car is seven feet high, assembled from hundreds of trees, and all of them are freshly cut wet wood, weighing tens of thousands of catties.

Without Xiong Wei's assistance, even a hundred soldiers would not be able to push it!

On the left and right sides of each building car and behind it, more than 100 bear guards were wearing heavy armor, and a large shield of all steel in one hand formed a dense shield wall to defend against crossbow arrows shot from the city, and the other hand pulled the building car tightly.

Hey, hey, hey!!

Every time you roar in unison, the car will be able to travel more than a foot away!

From the building car to the bottom of the city wall, the distance is more than 2,000 feet, which means that at least more than 2,000 times in unison.

Although there were only four building cars, there were nearly 1,000 soldiers in operation, and the roars in unison resounded in the air.

At the same time as building the building car, in order to facilitate the command of the siege, Feng Yao ordered the miscellaneous servants to build a wooden platform nearly ten zhang high! From the wooden platform, you can see the general situation in the castle from a distance.

After building the high platform, Feng Yao led Xu Shu and others to the high platform as soon as possible, and his vision immediately widened a lot, and the originally tall Langling City seemed to be trampled under his feet at this time.

The people in the city did not behave as calmly as Li Tong's defenders, but ran around the city, or cowered in their homes, and from time to time soldiers could be seen in the city to behead the captured people on the spot, so as to force the people to stay in the city!

On the inner side of the city walls, the people of the city were forcibly recruited to serve the defenders.

"Hahaha! Yuan straight. According to this situation, I am afraid that Li Tong will soon be unable to control it! Feng Yao said.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Lord, it seems that our plan has been successful, and the people and soldiers of Langling have been shocked by the precedent of Yang'an City!" ”

When the four building carts were pushed forward and almost in front of the city wall, they were blocked by the ditch. Xiong Wei took the tools again, and while defending, he filled in the ditch, and finally laid the plank.

Pushing the building car again, a few feet away from the city, at this time, Li Tong ordered dozens of defenders to lift a huge log and hold the building car up.

Although the four building cars could not enter the city, they could not be damaged. Feng Yao saw it on the high platform, ordered the archers to enter the building car, condescendingly, first threw the canister of fire oil to the city, and then shot arrows in the air, and after a while, he shot dozens of defenders of the city.

Xiong Wei wanted to move the car out of the way again, but Feng Yao suddenly thought of a clever plan to make Xiong Wei retreat.

"Rebuild four more cars. I'm going to use the building cart to build a movable wall outside the city that is both offensive and defensive! Feng Yao said loudly.

Day 3. Although the four building cars could not get close, they kept shooting the defenders at the head of the city with bows and arrows, and killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, and the building cars were only killed and wounded because they were higher than the city wall, which was caused by carelessness.

However, there is an arrow tower on the front of the four building cars. It is about the same height as the building car, and it is very close, which is a great threat to the building car.

In the past two days, Ji Ling and Wei Yan of the East Gate also built three building cars, and Feng Yao ordered the East Gate to suspend the attack. Three building cars were transported to the north gate.

On the fourth day, Gong Du, who was in charge of building siege equipment, came to report that three giant catapults had been built, and four building carts had also been built.

Feng Yao was overjoyed and immediately led the crowd to the test.

When the catapult attacked the city before, it was also built, but the power was not very large, the stones thrown were not large, and the accuracy was insufficient, although the momentum was amazing, but if you want to hit the defenders hiding behind the female wall of the city and holding the shield, it can only be said that it is too difficult, unless hundreds of catapults are built at the same time to bombard intensively.

Because the stones were small in the past, it was difficult to damage the city wall, so Feng Yao changed his strategy this time and only built three catapults, but these three catapults were several times the size of the previous ones, and at the same time, more than 100 people were needed to exert the power of the catapults, and the stones thrown required to be at least 100 catties or more.

After Feng Yao saw the three giants that were four feet high, he laughed: "When tomorrow passes, I will let Li inform me of something, no matter how strong the city is, it is a dead end to defend it!" ”

Seeing this catapult, Gan Ning was secretly frightened, looked at Feng Yao's gaze, and said with a little more fear, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, I am not in Langling City at this time, but on the side of the siege!" ”

"Let's take a fifty-pound stone first!"

Feng Yao personally led his entourage as the first test shooter and stood under the Big Mac.

The handymen loaded a stone in response, and shouted in unison, Feng Yao pulled the rope violently, only to hear a sharp whistling sound, and the stone cut through the air and disappeared into the distance.

I took another stone of about 100 catties, although it was not as good as the first time, but the visual inspection still threw a distance of more than 100 zhang.

"Come again! Two hundred pounds of stone!! Feng Yao said excitedly.

Several handymen struggled to lift the stones onto the catapult.

Launch hard!! Although it felt several times heavier, the stone weighing two hundred catties still flew out steadily, and with a terrifying bang, it fell fifty zhang away, and the boulder rolled all the way, plowing the ground out of a ditch.

"Good!!"

The generals cheered in unison, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Feng Yao was very satisfied with the results of the test, and said: "The distance is still a little close, first double the number of catapults, use a hundred catties of stones, and smash those arrow towers first!" ”

When three huge catapults were pulled under the city, the defenders at the head of the city shouted in surprise, trying to find a good place to hide.

"Attack the Arrow Tower at the same time!"

Three catapults, pulled by six hundred people at the same time, shouted loudly, and three burning boulders wrapped in oilcloths roared towards the city.

"Ahh Come on!! The archers in the tower were so frightened that they fled their way, but when they reached the bottom floor, they heard a bang from the tower, and a large hole was blasted out by the burning boulder, and the four archers, who had no time to dodge, fell to the ground and died, two of them had their heads shattered by the boulder, and the other two had their sternums shattered, and they had time to spurt out a mouthful of blood and die in their eyes of fear.

"It's a pity!"

Outside the city, Feng Yao, who was watching the battle from afar, said lightly.

Only one of the three boulders hit the target, the other two were thrown into the city, smashed into a makeshift camp for the miscellaneous servants in the city, and one was thrown at the city wall, smashing the wall to a shock, but eventually rolled down the outer wall without causing any casualties to the enemy.

The people of the city also fell into panic at the same moment, and several men and women rushed out of the house where they were hit, screaming loudly, and fled in the opposite direction.

After the catapult was fired three more times, the arrow tower standing at the head of the city finally fell with a bang, and at the same time ignited a fire.

"Lord, as long as you continue to attack in this state, Langling City can be broken tonight!!" Dai Ling said excitedly.

All the generals also nodded in agreement, and Gan Ning asked for his life: "Lord, under such an attack, Li Tong will definitely not be able to sit still, either flee or go out of the city to fight to the death!" Please allow your subordinates to lead 3,000 soldiers and lie down at the West Gate, if Li Tong escapes from the West Gate, I will personally take Li Tong's head and return! ”

When Zhou Cang heard this, he said: "I am willing to go together, Li Tong and I have a grudge against killing my father and destroying the clan, I swear to kill Li Tong and never let him escape!" (To be continued.) )
