Section 1119 The Fall of Gaoque (1)

Under Gaoque City, two giant siege artillery cannons were finally assembled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yi Zong was standing beneath one of the siege guns at this moment, looking up at this terrifying and unprecedented human creation.

A huge wooden structure supports its main body.

Beneath the pedestal, a winch resembling an instrument that had pulled the rope tight.

At one end of the long boom hung a huge wooden box, all of which was sand, rubble, and waste, weighing at least hundreds of stones.

Yang Yi, the contemporary Mojia master, stood in front of this unprecedented giant beast and explained the principle and use of this weapon to the Han army.

"This is a counterweight box, the power of the so-called siege artillery depends on this......" Yang Yi pointed to the wooden box and said: "This is a bit similar to the principle of leverage, of course, the actual situation is more complicated......"

"This kind of siege artillery, under ideal circumstances, can throw stone projectiles weighing up to 200 catties (Han jin) to 300 steps away, causing great damage to the enemy's city walls, fortifications and personnel......"

Of course, for the Mo family, no matter how fanciful the lip is raised, it is not as shocking as actually taking a step.

Therefore, when Yang Yi introduced, the parts and gears on this terrifying civilization creation began to rotate slowly.

Two strong men lifted a stone ball about a foot in diameter and placed it into a spoon-shaped 'shovel' at the other end of the arm.

"Gentlemen, let us come together and make a witness to the first song of this thing!" Yang Yi said confidently: "Let it announce that all old-style fortresses and city defenses will be eliminated!" ”

In the dictionary of the Chinese, there is never a fortress that cannot be broken, and there is never a city that does not fall.

Even the famous Hangu Pass was occupied by the Jin and Wei dynasties in history.

Therefore, Wu Qi told Wei Wenhou that Jiangshan was not in danger in Germany.

Successive generations of Chinese rulers have also diligently pursued the rule of virtue and virtue.

Even Qin Shi Huang is not exempt from vulgarity.

Therefore, Yang Yi's words did not violate any taboos, let alone make people think of anything.

Everyone looked at the behemoth that was already ready to go.

………………

"Test firing preparation!"

With the order of a Han army officer, the thick rope that had been firmly bound on the 'weight box' that was hoisted in the air suddenly broke, and then everyone only heard a loud bang.

Like winter thunder, it exploded in the world.

Its voice was so loud that even the Huns in Gaoque City heard it.

And because Gaoque City happened to be stuck in the valley road in and out of Yangshan.

So, after the initial loud bang, endless echoes arrived in the cochlea of the Huns almost simultaneously.

However, before they could react, a boulder fell from the sky with a scream, and with a snap, it smashed directly into a horse in Gaoque City, and immediately blood flew everywhere, and the scene was unbearable.

From the perspective of the Han army, the vast majority of people only saw the operators of the Mo family, cut the rope of the weight box, and shot out the stone bullets at the moment when the weight box landed.

A lot of people didn't even react.

"It's a little farther away, and then adjust the ......" Yang Yi immediately took a pen and paper, wrote something in a notebook, and said while writing: "You can lower the height of the weight box and move the base forward three steps slightly, and test the ...... again"

In the eyes of others, in the eyes of many Han soldiers, the test shot that the Mo family had just operated could be called a miraculous workmanship, and it could even be compared to the legendary immortal blow - I'm afraid that even the immortal can't do it three hundred steps away and throw a boulder weighing hundreds of pounds at his enemy!?

But in the eyes of Yang Yi and these ink writers, none of this is important.

Why are they concerned?

Why is it that after adding a weight box, the siege cannon can be pulled by hundreds of people, but its power has increased so much?

Why, after a 100-kilogram stone bullet and a 200-kilogram stone bullet are projected by the same counterweight box and the same machine, the damage caused is not a multiple of the 200-kilogram piece and a 100-kilogram one, but several times or even more than ten times?

Through hundreds of experiments in the ink garden and continuous exploration and exploration.

Yang Yi felt that he had grasped the key.

His pamphlet was full of ...... Velocity...... Weight...... Words like that and a lot of thoughts.

Now, Yang Yi feels that he is getting closer and closer to the avenue.

Tao is the truth that Chinese scholars, scholars, literati, and even nobles and doctors have been tirelessly pursuing and exploring throughout their lives.

Confucius said: It is okay to die at night.

Qu Zi said: The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek.

At this point, the cognition of all schools of thought is the same.

But the difference is that everyone has their own opinions about what the Tao is.

For the Mohists, there are three thousand, which is the principle of heaven and earth, the basic rules of the world, and the guidelines set by God.

Just as a fire will go out, a man will die, and a plant will wither.

In order to get close to the Tao, everyone in the hundred schools of thought will do whatever it takes.

And the Mo family is famous for their love of drilling.

Yang Yi has clearly entered the mode of drilling the horns of the bull now.

So, he held the brush and bit the barrel of the pen holder, one moment excited, the other frustrated.

Until, an ink artist walked up to him with a report and said, "Juzi, this is the data ...... just tested."

Yang Yi nodded and took a look.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he grabbed the ink man and said, "Prince, are you sure that there is nothing wrong with this data?" ”

"Well, this is a ...... that personally supervised the recording," the man surnamed Wang asked, "There is a problem with Juzi?" ”

"No problem!" Yang Yi's face flushed excitedly, like a child, he took the data and said, "Your Majesty's words are always correct!" Mathematics is indeed the key to solving most of the unsolved mysteries in this world! ”

"I feel that I have mastered the key, and whether I can open the door or not depends on the next verification......" Yang Yi muttered to himself, leaving the Han generals aside, and like a low-level bureaucrat, he commanded the soldiers of the tunnel battalion, re-tied the counterweight box, and raised it with a winch.

"Speed ......"

"Weight ......"

Yang Yi licked his lips and looked at the weight box hanging high in the air, he thought, "If I expect it to be correct, I will issue it, a trace of the avenue ......"

He excitedly pointed to Gaoque City in the distance and shouted: "Release!" ”

Bang!

The loud bang rang out again.

This time, the Han army smashed a stone bullet of more than 200 catties accurately to the corner of the tower of Gaoque City, and the huge stone bullet with terrible kinetic energy directly smashed the city tower, a large amount of smoke and dust rose, and at the same time, there were obvious cracks in the city wall.

Under the blow of the siege artillery, the fortress built by the ancestors of Qin and Zhao, which was considered unbreakable at that time, was actually destroyed by a single shot!

Terrible!

Powerful!

Invincibility!

This is the opinion of the Han army.

But Yang Yi has already fallen into an even more euphoric carnival.

"This year's 'Xuanyuan Sword' is the ...... of my Mo family" Yang Yi took the pen and entered the crazy mode.

Xuanyuan Sword is a brand-new policy announced by the current son at this year's Great Court Conference.

It is mainly for scholars and scholars of all schools, and aims to reward those heroes and heroes who have made great contributions to the country and the nation, or who have discovered the irrefutable 'Tao'.

Every year, the Shaofu will send a special person to make a replica of the legendary Xuanyuan Sword as a reward for the winners.

The winner of this Xuanyuan Sword will not have a material reward.

However, it can be brushed up with the forced style of this school.

The holder of the Xuanyuan Sword is automatically elected as the Taixue Sacrifice Wine, which is also the highest-ranking position in the Taixue Institution except for the Taixue Order and the Taixue Superintendent, which is roughly equivalent to the director of teaching.

This is simply a natural sound for the Mo family.

As long as you can enter Taixue, then the learning of the Mo family can enter the world in a grand manner, enter and exit the market, the official office, and even open the mountain to accept apprentices, and carry forward Mo Zhai's knowledge and thoughts.

And that's just one of them.

More important is the struggle for the right to speak.

It is obvious that whoever gets the Xuanyuan Sword may be closer to the royal family.

Although the Mo family is very close to the royal family, Yang Yi and the Mo family feel that they should be more intimate.

For example, there should be a person who becomes a prince, or at least a teacher of a quasi-prince.

In fact, not only Confucianism will have a belly full of flowers and intestines and a belly of bad water, but none of the Mohists, Legalists, and miscellaneous families are vegetarians.

Today's Chinese academic circles have regained the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period.

Hundreds of schools of thought, each reviving and rising.

Countless schools of thought have risen and died, countless ideas have converged, and then collided, blooming with incomparably brilliant light.

However, everyone knows that so far, it is only a warm-up game.

Among the hundreds of schools, they wooed each other, promised each other and even sent undercover agents.

However, with the princes of today, one by one they were born and grew up one by one.

This brief and quiet peace is coming to an end.

In order to be able to bet on the press, at that time, the hundred schools of thought will no longer show mercy.

The struggle will enter a fierce and white-hot one.

I don't know how many schools that were once powerful will decline in such a struggle, and I don't know how many lucky people will be able to soar to the sky.

Although, it is still unclear what the Son of Heaven means and attitude.

But it's always good to plan ahead.

Moreover, for a writer, the most beautiful thing is actually the moment when he is pursuing the avenue and glimpsing the truth.

……………………………………

Yang Yi entered a state of madness, and naturally, the command task of the siege artillery returned to the Han army.

With the help of the Mo family, the Han army also quickly mastered the use of this weapon.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the reload time.

A battering cannon, each shot, takes more than a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour to reload.

But fortunately, the Han army had two siege guns.

Therefore, after becoming proficient, the speed of one shot per quarter of an hour can be basically guaranteed.

Boom Boom!

Bang bang bang!

One stone bullet per quarter of an hour is equivalent to about eight shots in an hour.

And the stability of this weapon is surprisingly good, as long as the first shot hits, the subsequent hit rate can be basically guaranteed, even if there is a small error - whether it is smashed on the city wall, or on the side of the city wall or inside the city.

As long as it hits, it's a good thing.

The Huns, on the other hand, were hit by this sudden stone bullet and were so frightened that they were scared.

How could the Huns ever see such a method?

Many ignorant herdsmen knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods of heaven and the mountains, asking for atonement for their sins.

Who else in their eyes has such power but God?

Although the upper nobles knew that this was the role of the weapons of the Han Dynasty.

But they simply wouldn't and didn't dare to tell the slaves below about it.

For a while, the people in the entire Gaoque City were panicked, and they no longer dared to stand on the head of the city.

Because, now, there are countless meat mud on the city wall, warning those who come after it.

Bang!

Another stone bullet hit the city wall.

Although for the Han army, this is obviously crooked.

But for this stone projectile, it was a success.

The boulder, which weighed more than 200 catties, carried powerful kinetic energy and caused huge damage in an instant.

To make matters worse, because the Xiongnu lacked the skills to manage and repair a fortified city like Gaoque, they had only left this job to the Lu Hou people.

But the Lu Hou tribe's own technology is also at the level of repairing the county seat, and it is necessary to maintain a fortified city like Gaoque?

It's a little too hard for him.

Therefore, Gaoque City is actually in disrepair.

If it weren't for the fact that the quality of Qin Ren's project was really remarkable, and Lu Houren played a role more or less.

It can stand still in the erosion of the wind and sand.

However, in the Han army's stone-throwing offensive, Gaoque City was already greatly damaged, and many walls were cracked.

And this stone bullet is like the first domino that fell in the dominoes.

In an instant, there was a chain reaction - the entire section of the city wall, and suddenly, there was a strange clicking sound.

Then the wall of masonry, earth and earth slammed into the city fell down, and countless bricks, trees and earth flew sideways.

Gaoque, the great city, the fortress of King Wuling of Zhao, the end of the Great Wall of Zhao and the center of the Great Wall of Qin, finally opened a corner of the door to the Han army.

"How is this possible...... Hu Yan Dangtu couldn't believe his eyes, he stared at the collapsed city wall.

Even if he was a Huns, he knew that the fall of the city wall meant for the defenders?

This meant that the Han army could pass through this gap and attack the city of Gaoque, which could no longer be defended by the city walls.

"Damn it!" Hu Yandang said angrily: "Send someone to plug the gap immediately!" ”

In any case, the Han Dynasty could not be allowed to enter the city of Gaoque through this gap.

The current Xiongnu, not to mention whether they can fight with the main force of the Han army.

Fear......

In all probability......

"No one dares to stand up to the Han Dynasty army,......" Hu Yandangtu muttered.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty must not be allowed to enter Gaoque through this gap, in that case, everything will be finished. (To be continued.) )
