Don't say that in a remote place like Liangzhou, even in the Central Plains, in the late Han Dynasty, few people have ever seen trebuchets, trebuchets are generally only used in siege of cities, and large-scale wars have not yet occurred in the Central Plains, so trebuchets are not used.

And those who can attack the city in Liangzhou are often either the Huns who went south, or the rebellious Qiangdi tribes, but how can they have the technology and financial resources to build trebuchets? If the Han army didn't use it, then of course they hadn't seen it, and even the vast majority of the Qiang people, including Li Wenhou himself, didn't even know what a trebuchet was, let alone never seen it, and they hadn't even heard of it!

On a rainy and snowy night, suddenly an unknown object flew in the sky, no one would think it was a big stone, it was amazing, beyond the scope of the Qiang soldiers' cognition, they all thought it was a bird, even Li Wenhou thought it was a strange old eagle!

The unknown object roared in, and when it flew into the city wall, Li Wenhou saw clearly that it was not an old eagle, but a big stone, afraid that it was an extraterrestrial meteorite, right?

Did it rain meteor showers? The Qiang soldiers at the head of the city all raised their heads and went to see the meteor shower together!

The big stone smashed to the city tower, and suddenly smashed the tiles to the ground, and the big stone smashed through the roof, and smashed on the big drum, which was the big leather drum used by Li Wenhou when he beat the drum to cheer, smashed the big drum, the big stone smashed to the ground, and with a loud bang, the big stone smashed the stone on the ground to pieces, and the whole city gate trembled!

Li Wenhou stood unsteadily, and suddenly leaned on the battlements, he looked at the city tower, and was so frightened that he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't help but tremble! He didn't know what a trebuchet was, but he knew that this big stone, which weighed almost hundreds of pounds, must have been thrown by the Fujiao Army, but who threw it, he really couldn't guess, there were too many inhuman people in the Fujiao Army!

After the big stone hit the ground, there was an exclamation on the head of the city, but after the exclamation, there was a deathly silence, the Qiang soldiers could not understand the facts they saw in front of them, they could not understand this terrible thing, after the horror, they were all stunned!

Li Wenhou was the same, he leaned against the battlements, slowly slid down, sat down on the ground, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak!

The Qiang soldiers looked at the big stone in the city tower blankly, and turned their head stupidly to look at their King Li, it can be seen that King Li is also stupid, they become even more stupid, I don't know how to deal with it, if the enemy comes to attack, then they pick up swords and guns to resist, but now it is a big stone to smash, so what to do? Swords and guns are not easy to use, shields are definitely not easy to use, and there is nothing else to resist!

There was no sound from the top of the city, and it took a long time. Suddenly, the kind of whistling sound that can make people stupid came again, and in the sky, a big rock flew over, and the location was still towards the castle tower!

However, the accuracy of this big stone is a little worse than just now, and it seems that the person who threw the stone in the Fujiao army is not very skillful, and he can't hit the same place with both stones! There was another loud bang, and the big stone flew a little closer, not hitting the tower, but only hitting the battlements on the city gate, and the stone chips flew, and the battlements that were hit were gone, and the big stone fell to the ground outside the city, and the ground trembled again!

This time, the Qiang soldiers were no longer stupidly in a daze, from the initial horror to immobility, to hysteria, they screamed like crazy, scattered and fled, no one dared to stay on the city wall anymore, it was too dangerous, the visible enemy was not terrible, the invisible enemy was terrible, and the visible big stone was the most terrible of the terrible!

Li Wenhou was lucky, the battlements he was leaning on were not the ones that were blown away, they were separated by several battlements, and they were not close, but the smashed stones flew around, but they hit his body, smashing his forehead, and blood flowed down his forehead!

Li Wenhou struggled to stand up, and he shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, stabilize me!" ”

But no matter how he shouted, the Qiang soldiers couldn't hold down, and two big stones smashed over, although they didn't kill a single person, but they all frightened them, and the king didn't listen to his words, and they all fled down the stairs to save their lives!

The stairs were crowded together, and the more crowded they were, the more they couldn't escape quickly, the more anxious the Qiang soldiers became, and then they squeezed harder, and some people were so frightened that they even cried!

Fortunately, Li Wenhou's personal soldiers had not lost their minds, and ran to his side, shouting: "King, your head is injured!" ”

Li Wenhou sighed, stretched out his hand and touched his head, immediately felt a huge pain, and then looked at his hands, his hands were full of blood, his head began to dizzy, he didn't know that he was injured just now, he didn't feel anything, but now he found that his head was full of blood, he couldn't help but think of the Qiang generals who were stoned to death in front of the battle today, and the appearance of bursting brains immediately came to mind!

Seeing that he was staggering and about to fall, the soldiers hurriedly supported him, and called a few more soldiers, and everyone hugged Li Wenhou and ran towards the stairs. The pro-soldiers shouted loudly, telling the Qiang soldiers not to squeeze, quickly get out of the passage, and let the king go first!

There is chaos on the city wall, everyone is in danger, if the horn soldiers are attacking the city now, make sure that there is no resistance, set up a ladder, and you can climb up!

In the distance, Li Qin and the officers of the Fujiao Army all dismounted and stood near the Fujiao Cannon, everyone was anxious, they couldn't think of it, and they couldn't think that just two big stones smashed over, and the Qiang soldiers were scared to collapse!

Li Qin hurriedly said: "Gao Shun, how is it, can it be launched again?" ”

Although the weather was cold, Gao Shun was sweating profusely, and he shouted: "The leather rope is broken, and the spare one is being replaced, and it may have to wait for a quarter of an hour...... No, no, at least two quarters of an hour! ”

Li Qin stomped his feet and said: "Usually when I test, I don't prohibit it so much, how come at a critical moment, only two launches, and the rope breaks, which is too fast!" ”

Jia Xu sighed: "If I knew this, I would have built a few more, which can be used in rotation, and only two stones will be fired, and the deterrent power will be greatly weakened, I am afraid that Li Wenhou in the city will not be afraid!" ”

Li Qin couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted again: "Gao Shun, I heard the sound just now that it hit the city wall, can you estimate the extent of the damage to the city wall?" ”

Gao Shun's beads of sweat crackled down, he didn't even wipe it, his head was covered with sweat, but his mouth was so dry, he said hoarsely: "I'm afraid it has no effect, it's too far away, and I can't see it clearly!" However, the second stone smashed a battlement, but it fell outside the city, which is probably not enough to frighten people! ”

Dian Wei said angrily: "What kind of broken cannon is this, it took a lot of effort to make it, and after walking such a long way, it collapsed a battlement, and then it broke down, it might as well build a ladder!" ”

The generals of the Fujiao Army all shook their heads and sighed, but they really didn't expect that this Fujiao cannon would not be used and did not have the expected deterrent effect!

Li Qin shouted: "Hurry up and fix it, and then launch it, don't wait for dawn, there will be no deterrent power when it is dawn, and it will be good to scare people when it gets dark!" ”

The more anxious he was, the more bad things he could do, Gao Shun was so anxious that he stepped forward in person and changed the rope with his hands, but it was originally up to the gunners to change it, and it could be changed in two quarters of an hour, but as soon as he did it himself, it was even slower, and it took half an hour for the rope to be changed and it could be fired again.

And Li Qin and they are not in a hurry, they are all discouraged, everyone is sighing, and some generals are running to check the high cars and siege vehicles, it is estimated that they will have to use them to attack the city during the day tomorrow, in case they have something wrong again, then who can stand it!

Gao Shun shouted: "It's okay, it's time to launch again!" After shouting, he whispered to the gunners: "Li Lang looks, everyone sells some strength, this time no matter what, this corner cannon will inevitably be improved again, so you don't have to worry, just use a normal heart, just a normal heart!" ”

What he said made quite no sense, and he made the gunners work hard, and said that they should use their normal hearts, he was panicked, and the gunners were even more unbearable. Aiming at the city wall, Hudi launched a third large stone out!

Li Qin and the generals all quieted down, quietly waiting for the sound from the city wall, wanting to hear if it was smashed, the first big stone just now smashed over, it must have smashed something, but the Qiang soldiers did not shout, which shows that even if it was smashed, it was not smashed to any important place, so everyone was not messy, and the second big stone only smashed a battlement, although the cry from the city wall was loud, but it certainly did not kill people, these two launches, can be said to be a failure, just look at the third big stone, Can you make some credit?

The gunners were really attentive, they were very nervous to fire the third big stone, and after the launch, they all stopped and listened quietly!

The big stone roared and flew towards the city wall, but I didn't think that this time there was no big noise, the big stone didn't even hit the city wall, because it flew too high, it went directly over the city wall, flew directly into the city, and I don't know where it fell, and the city wall did not make any more shouts, the Qiang soldiers were very calm, and they were not afraid at all!

Li Qin sighed and said, "That's it, it is estimated that it may be the weather, so that the horn cannon is not easy to use, but the gunner can't be blamed." Gao Shun, let's do it tonight, you guys repair the horn cannon, if you keep your eyes on it tomorrow, it's not too late to launch it again! ”

After speaking, he whispered: "Go and get the high carts and siege vehicles ready, you can't count on the horn cannons, you can only rely on them!" ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he hurriedly went to check the car in person, afraid that there would be another problem.

The Fujiao army outside thought that trebuchets were of little use, but the Qiang soldiers inside didn't think so, and they were all so frightened that they blew up the camp!

The Qiang soldiers crowded down the city wall, thinking that it would be okay to hide in the city, there was no one on the city wall for a long time, let alone throw the third big stone, even if they threw the third big stone, Li Qin and they couldn't hear anyone shouting on the city wall, and there was no one shouting!

Li Wenhou was helped down the city wall and stood behind the city gate, when he encountered this situation, he didn't know how to react, so he could only use the trick of waiting and seeing, but after watching for a long time, he didn't find the change.

When the Qiang soldiers saw that the leader was here, their hearts were a little calm, and they all gathered around, gathered around Li Wenhou, and followed him to watch the changes. After a long time, no loud noise was heard, and the horn guards outside did not throw big stones again!

I thought that this was the case, and the danger disappeared, but the Qiang soldiers had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the third big stone smashed in with the sound of the wind, crossed the city wall, and smashed into the crowd of Qiang soldiers who were quietly watching.
