Gao Huaiyuan was happy, slapped the officer and said: I said earlier, you can't underestimate your craftsman battalion, this attack on Baoying County, once it is successful, you should also make a record, you will work hard in the past two days, if there is a shortage of manpower, this official will continue to deploy manpower to help you, and this kind of throwing the car is as much as possible, let Li Quanjun see the fate of our Great Song Dynasty! Hehe!

When Gao Huaiyuan was inspecting these throwing cars, Hua Yue and Zhao Futang also slipped here together, and saw Gao Huaiyuan also in the craftsman camp from a distance, so they also came to salute. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Today's lowly officials are only busy attacking the city, I don't know that the adults also ordered people to make such a new throwing car, just now we are discussing the siege of tomorrow, I heard that it is so lively here, so I came to take a look, now we have thrown the car a lot, no matter how much the troops may be insufficient, but the adults have to make more throwing cars, is it difficult to become a handsome you want to fill up the county seat of Baoying with stones? The number of stones near here is limited, not enough to support our army's use of them for a long time! Zhao Futang looked at the newly built throwing carts that stood up like a forest around him, and told Gao Huaiyuan his opinion.

Gao Huaiyuan said with a smile: You don't have to worry about the hands, these throwing cars are not the throwing cars we used before, each thing only needs ten people to operate, and the power is not weaker than the ordinary single-tip cannon, and the existing throwing cars I also plan to transform them as soon as possible, so that more troops will not be wasted, so for the troops in your hands, don't worry, I will be transferred out to do this! Hehe!

But your other question is good, there are not many stones available here, but it is a trouble, do you think there is any other way to solve it? You can't let the car throw sandbags into the city tomorrow!

Hua Yue is a caring person, just came here and noticed the difference of the new throwing car here, after a circle around a throwing car, pointed to the throwing car and asked: This thing seems to rely on this big box of soil and stone to breed, replacing the original manpower! Not bad! Hehe! This has greatly saved a lot of manpower, who came up with this thing? Why haven't I seen this before?

Li Ruohu has been aggrieved for many days, and today there is finally no Qiu Tong to follow Gao Huaiyuan, which makes him feel a lot more comfortable, and immediately said to Hua Yue and Zhao Futang: This is not blowing, this thing is also created by Dashuai, when we resisted the Jin army in Huangzhou City, Dashuai once sent someone to make this kind of throwing car, which is quite useful, but this time attacking Baoying County, Dashuai wanted to throw more cars, so he remembered this kind of thing again, and ordered the craftsman to make a camp!

Oh? Dashuai still has such skills? Admire the next level! After Hua Yue and Zhao Futang heard this, they were both amazed, and hurriedly complimented Gao Huaiyuandao.

Li Ruohu said triumphantly: There are a lot of things that our handsome will have, you just don't know!

Talkative! Don't listen to this guy's words, I also saw this kind of car throwing from a map from the Western Regions that I got occasionally, and I think it is more convenient to use, so I keep it in my heart, it is not what I created, and you don't have to compliment me! It's just that now we have to think about how to solve the problem of artillery, if you transport the cannonball from afar, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of manpower, do you have any good way to solve it? Gao Huaiyuan put aside Li Ruohu, who was triumphant, and then asked Hua Yue and Zhao Futang.

Zhao Futang opened his mouth and said: In fact, the handsome don't have to worry too much, not only can you use artillery to throw the car, sometimes you will use some fireballs, if there is really no artillery stone available, you can also use mud from local materials!

Oh? With mud? How can mud be used? Gao Huaiyuan didn't turn around for a while, and immediately asked Zhao Futang.

Hua Yue also laughed at this time: Dashuai can be said to be smart and confused for a while! Ha ha! What General Zhao said is true, wouldn't it be hard to make mud balls out of mud and then throw them in the fire and burn them? Throw it out and hit the city wall, it will immediately shatter, it is more powerful than a simple stone bullet, after the mud bomb lands, the fragments fly around, and the middle one is either dead or injured is terrible!

Gao Huaiyuan patted his head and scolded secretly: Stupid! This method of martial arts has to be described earlier, why did you forget it? I'm being laughed at now! Pig's head!

Gao Huaiyuan patted his head and smiled: Look at my head! I actually forgot about it, I really deserve to fight! Yes, yes, mud bombs are not bad, you should also work hard, go to the camp to mobilize some auxiliaries, and burn some mud bombs overnight for tomorrow's war!

In addition, I have another way, didn't we bring a lot of thunderbolts cast from Lin'an City this time? When necessary, if you set it on fire, you can also throw it into the city, and it is estimated that the power will be greater! Tomorrow, let Liu Qingfu and them have a good look at the power of ten thousand cannons! I don't believe they'll last any longer!

Hua Yue and Zhao Futang also heard that this method was really powerful, so they nodded and accepted the order, and went down to arrange the production of mud bombs for backup.

Early the next morning, the Song army lined up again outside the three gates, after the war drums rumbled, the northern army defending the city also boarded the city one after another, Liu Qingfu hurriedly climbed the city wall, fixed his eyes to look out, and his scalp immediately went numb again.

Overnight, the number of throwing cars outside the city has increased a lot, the artillery racks stand outside the city like a forest, the throwing rods have fallen, loaded with stones, so many throwing cars to attack the city, he really saw it for the first time, a salvo is hundreds of big stones, if they let them smash down like this, no need to attack the city, half a month, the city wall of Baoying County will also be collapsed alive by them.

After hearing the sound of cannons outside the city one after another, I saw that the throwing cars outside the city were immediately raised, and a black spot immediately rose up and flew towards the city wall, Liu Qingfu shrank his neck and immediately shouted: Be careful to dodge, don't be smashed!

As soon as the words fell, these stone bullets fell on the city wall one after another, and the huge stones fell on the city wall, which immediately shook the city wall for a while, and many stones were embedded into the brick city wall at once, so that the city wall, which was originally quite smooth, turned into a pockmarked face like countless acne on a white face.

After yesterday's day of attack, the defenders have been somewhat accustomed to this kind of stone bullet attack, damn the bird to the sky, not to die and the New Year, this thing falls, as long as you are lucky, you can't smash it, if you hit it, you will just wait for death, no one can survive such a blow, it's all up to luck!

Therefore, some of the northern troops seemed quite calm, sticking their heads to observe the landing point of the flying stones in the sky, and as soon as they saw that the landing point was wrong, they immediately jumped aside and hid aside.

What about our throwing car? Hit! But also fight? Mother can't keep being beaten like this! Some of the Northern troops shouted and beckoned the enemy to throw their own carts upstairs to return fire.

As a result, the carts that had been repaired overnight on the city wall also began to get angry and threw stones at the city, and the two sides shot at each other.

Seeing that a throwing car on his side was smashed to the ground by the artillery stones in the city, and several soldiers who operated the artillery were killed or injured, Zhang Wenhu, the commander of the crossbow battalion in charge of the artillery, immediately became furious, and immediately ordered: Give Lao Tzu a mud bomb, let them taste the yellow mud bomb first, and kill their throwing car! Let's get some fireballs and throw them into the city, and let them taste the power of our cannon today!"

So the artillery soldiers immediately followed the order, and carried over the mud bombs that had just been fired last night and still had residual warmth, and put them into the skin bags, and some people replaced the skin bags and loaded them with fireballs wrapped in rattan tarpaulin, and prepared for another round of launches.

Gao Huaiyuan also paid attention to the situation of the artillery army, and as soon as he saw that they had replaced them with fired mud bombs, he immediately took out the single-barreled telescope in his arms and looked carefully at the city wall.

Today is also the first large-scale appearance of the counterweight stone throwing machine in the Central Plains, more than ten years earlier than the return cannon used by the Mongols in the siege of the city, he also has to observe the actual effect.

The counterweight stone throwing machine relies on mechanical power as the launch power, no longer relies on manpower for the launch power, and the use of combined pulleys greatly reduces the work of manpower loading, so that a single cannon is really less than ten people, can be operated, this liberates a large number of manpower, yesterday a day rushed out of more than 100 single-tip guns, actually only occupied more than 1,000 people, and the people used do not need to be too strong, ordinary auxiliaries are enough to operate this new artillery, which liberates a large number of manpower, At the same time, the siege firepower was greatly increased.

The only drawback is that the counterweight catapult is a bit slower, but it's nothing compared to its advantages!

After the mud bombs were loaded, the guns of the respective artillery frames set their cannons, and with a command, the guns became angry, and the throwing rods dragged the leather bags containing the cannons on the ground, making a muffled sound, and then the throwing arms reached the highest end, and the mud bombs flew away from the buzzing group of the skin bags towards the city wall.

Many mud bombs hit the façade of the city wall, and they immediately shattered into powder, raising a cloud of dust, and a lot of stone bombs fell on the city wall, and even if they were shattered into countless pieces, a cloud of dust and smoke was raised.

At first, the Northern Army, who were hiding on the city wall, was still laughing at the Song army for running out of ammunition, and actually threw some mud bombs on the city wall, but they soon realized that something was wrong.
