Hearing these words, everyone except Dorgon himself was stunned, stunned and puzzled.

In the face of everyone's skeptical gaze at him, Dolgon confidently affirmed: "You heard it right, it is to use local materials, make weapons, and suppress the Haw Par Firearms unit one hundred and fifty paces away. ”

"Lord Belle, what kind of weapon is it, so powerful......" An adjutant general in front of him asked with a look full of expectation.

Dolgon did not hesitate and replied directly: "Trebuchet, a trebuchet made directly from logs. ”

"Although the range and power of trebuchets are not as good as those of the Ming artillery, one hundred and fifty paces away, they used stone projectiles to destroy the shield array of the Tiger and Par Army, harass the Tiger and Par Army Firearms Unit, and helped the archers shoot the Tiger and Par Army...... These things can still be done by trebuchets. ”

"In addition, the infantry under our command can't build artillery or be infantry, but it's still no problem to build some simple trebuchets out of logs......"

For a full day, the Tartars blocking the position did not attack, not even a single tentative attack.

Just when Wei Zheng slowly had an ominous premonition in his mind, an exclamation suddenly sounded at the head of Mushroom Valley City.

Wei Zheng, who was puzzled by the Tartar behavior, subconsciously raised the monocular in his hand and looked at the military formation of thousands of Tartar cavalry two miles away.

In the Wei Zheng telescope, slender logs that were three battles long were continuously sent into the Tartar army under the shoulders of the Tartar infantry.

In the subsequent situation, even if Wei Zheng hoped for the help of a telescope, he couldn't see any clues.

"What do the Tartars want to do, cut so many logs at once...... Do they want to make zuò stronger shield chariots and shields? Wei Zheng subconsciously spoke.

Wei Zheng didn't react, but Zhou Shuyuan's face had a hint of discoloration.

Speaking of his understanding of the cold weapon combat methods of this era, Zhou Shuyuan is definitely far superior to Wei Zheng.

After a short analysis, Zhou Shuyuan boldly guessed: "General, the tartar must not be used to make a shield, and the shield does not need to be such a thick and long log...... Not surprisingly, they wanted to make simple trebuchets, break our shield array, harass our firearms units with stone projectiles, and cover the archers to throw arrows at us......"

"Trebuchet...... Use the principle of leverage to throw stone projectiles at us......" Wei Zheng was stunned in his heart, and said something brainless to Zhou Shuyuan and the others, which they didn't understand at all.

Not understanding does not affect Zhou Shuyuan's judgment of the situation, as soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Shuyuan reminded with a solemn face: "General, if the Tartars are really preparing trebuchets, then the next battle will become more and more difficult to fight, and our losses will become bigger and bigger......"

Wei Zheng frowned, and asked Zhou Shuyuan, "Is there a specific way to crack it......

Zhou Shuyuan first nodded, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "The best way to crack it is to destroy it with artillery." However, our artillery was limited in number, and it was all small artillery with a relatively close range, and even if it was used to shell the Tartar trebuchet positions, it would not achieve much success. ”

If you haven't really seen the power of trebuchets, you can't spot their weaknesses.

With the idea of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, he decisively ordered: "In that case, let's wait until the Tartars have built the trebuchet, and then we will think of a specific solution......"

After a night of hard work by thousands of infantry, fifty very rudimentary trebuchets appeared in the Tartar formation. Each trebuchet was operated by two Tartars and thirty infantry followers, scattering ten pounds of stone bullets at the positions of the Tiger and Par Army.

Seeing the fifty heel throwing pole erected by the Tartar one hundred and fifty paces in front of the position, the bad premonition in Wei Zheng's heart became even stronger.

With a hint of worry, he ordered: "With trebuchets, the Tartars' attack today will be very fierce." In order to reduce unnecessary casualties among the brothers outside the city. After the Tartars had rushed forty paces, the troops retreated. The last requirement is that during the battle, the soldiers must be prepared to defend against stone bullets. ”

"Yes, General......"

The morale of the Tartar army was high, and Dolgon, as if admiring a work of art, held a meeting to scan the fifty trebuchets that had been built overnight in front of him.

At this moment, a subordinate who had used a trebuchet said with a face full of surprise: "Lord Belle, so many trebuchets will definitely be able to smash the position of the Tiger and Par Army...... The minion asked for his life and led his warriors to attack the position of the Tiger and Par Army. ”

Dolgon shook his head and refused very unexpectedly, "No, let's not attack ...... first."

"In yesterday's attack, we were passively beaten for so long, and today, it is the turn of the opposite Tiger and Par Army to taste the taste of passive beating."

"Order the trebuchet troops to first throw stone projectiles at the position of the Haw Par Army for half an hour, first see the combat effect of the trebuchet, and then it is not too late to launch an attack on the position of the Haw Par Army."

"Yes, Lord Belle, the minion is going to give orders......"

"Woo woo woo ......" A whistling wind sounded behind him, and the trebuchet's long arm quickly swung upward.

The stone projectile located in the cloth pocket at the end of the boom draws a beautiful arc in the air along with the boom.

When the long boom suddenly stopped in mid-air and no longer swung, under the action of the boom, the stone projectile that was flying at high speed quickly broke away from the restraint of the cloth bag and flew into the sky under the action of inertia......

Fifty stone projectiles flew out of the trebuchet position, and with the expectations of all the Tartars, flew towards the position of the Tiger and Panther Army.

Because the Tartars did not conduct test firing, only two of the fifty stone shells hit. However, instead of seeing disappointment, Dolgon's face showed a hint of excitement.

Because, as long as a stone projectile hits the target, it proves that the idea of using trebuchets to suppress the Haw Par Arms Unit can be realized. After some excitement, he shouted loudly with a face full of joy.

"Good...... Just fired stone projectiles at the positions of the Haw Par Army and smashed the positions of the Haw Par Army......"

The ordinary Tartar soldiers also seemed to have found a way to vent their anger, screaming and pulling their arm, throwing ten pounds of stone bullets at the position of the Tiger and Par Army.

As time passed, the Tartar infantry became more and more skilled in maneuvering the trebuchet. Correspondingly, the target of the stone projectiles they fired became higher and higher.

Soon, casualties began to occur among the Haw Par soldiers hiding behind earthen walls and in the inner corners of the trenches.

A stone bullet smashed towards the earthen wall with a whistling sound, and before the Haw Par Army soldiers hiding behind the earthen wall could make any reaction, the whistling stone projectile had already made a gap at the edge of the earthen wall, and then, without slowing down, continued to smash towards the body of the Haw Par Army soldiers behind the earthen wall.
