"This thing can throw a hundred catties of stone bullets, and the sound is like a thunderbolt, so it is called a thunderbolt car." Ram Valley said with a smug face. This is the masterpiece of his life's learning, and he is very proud to talk about nature.

Ram Valley has a withdrawn temperament, although it is a member of the Mo family, it rarely interacts with the same family, usually lives in seclusion in the mountains to study some strange things, Ran Yi once followed the master to visit him when he was young, and he was very impressed by his skills. So when Han Xin asked Ran Yimo if there were any outstanding craftsmen in his family, Ran Yi first thought of Ram Valley and introduced Han Xin to him in the name of Juzi.

Ram Valley was originally a Wei person, so he naturally had no good impression of the Qin people, but because of the face of Juzi Yuanzong, he had to agree to meet Han Xin. After all, even if he is independent in the world, he is still a member of the Mo family, and Juzi's orders must still be respected.

Ram Valley wanted to try not to speak, and then find an excuse to send Han Xin away, but unexpectedly, as soon as Han Xin saw what he designed, he became very disagreeable, saying that it was not right here and that it was inappropriate there, which aroused the old man's competitive mentality, and he immediately retorted. The two of them quarreled there, and it was needless to say that Ram Valley naturally knew a lot about the techniques of obscenity all his life, but Han Xin had the experience of two thousand years later, although the idea seemed to be wild and absurd, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make some sense.

After arguing with Han Xin, Ram Valley benefited a lot, and the originally confused place in his heart faintly opened up. At the moment, he was very excited, and kept pestering Han Xin to ask this and that, and after a few days, he actually took him as a confidant, Han Xin invited him, and he agreed to go down the mountain to help without hesitation.

Han Xin found a very extensive manor outside Handan City, and set it up as a separate site for the Ram Valley. More than 100 experienced craftsmen were urgently dispatched from Xianyang Jiangzuofu @, and hundreds of craftsmen were recruited from Zhaodi to match the Ram Valley. Ram Valley was poor all his life, and most of his secluded lives in the mountains relied on the help of the Mo family to carry out his experimental research, and he never dreamed that Han Xin would treat him so favorably.

"The man who is a confidant dies, and the woman is the one who pleases himself."

There are not many opportunities and luck in this era, and it is something that many people dream of being appreciated by their superiors and taking them as confidants. Although Ram Valley has a withdrawn temperament, he is not a person who does not know what is good, how can he not be grateful to Han Xin for treating him like this, and redouble his efforts to repay his respect.

Therefore, less than half a month after Han Xin went south to attack Qidi, he brought 20 newly built thunderbolts and 30 city kicking cars to help, and he came in time.

"100 pounds of stone bullets!" Zhang Er on the side couldn't help but change color and exclaimed. "Is that really possible?"

You must know that the trebuchet in the Warring States period is still in the enlightenment stage, and it is not as popular as in later generations, and the general trebuchet can only carry more than 50 catties, like the large trebuchet in Xianyang City because it is a fixed base, it can barely reach 100 catties. But this thunderbolt can be moved on wheels, and it can carry eggs for hundreds of pounds, which is really appalling.

Ram Valley's face was colorful, and he snorted; "What's all the fuss, it's just not knowledgeable. This is just a hastily created thing by the old man, and if I had given me more time, I would have been able to build a sharper thunderbolt. ”

Zhang Er also knew that this old man had a strange temperament, and he only laughed at his ridicule, and he didn't bother to bother with him. He also pointed to the thirty pedaling cars in the front row and asked; "What's the mystery of this, and how is it different from an ordinary ladder?"

Seeing that his proud work was asked, Ram Valley was naturally very happy to show off, so he said with a smile; "You don't understand that. The cloud ladder was made by King Chu Hui in order to achieve the purpose of domination, and it was claimed that it could 'stand according to the clouds, so it overlooked the enemy's city'. In fact, this guy is bragging, where can he build a ladder, it is really simple, ridiculous and ridiculous. ”

Han Xin and Zhang Er looked at each other and smiled, the Mo family and the public lost like they have always been at odds, back then, one main attack and one main defense became fire and water, and it was understandable that the Ram Valley was so demeaning about the public loss.

Between the valley of the ram said; "The ladder made like a public transport can be carried up and down and leaned against the city wall by manpower; There is a hook at the top of the ladder, which is used to hook the edge of the city; Wheels are installed under the ladder and can be moved. The 'flying ladder' I have designed today has been greatly improved, with the underframe made of wood as a bed, six wheels underneath, the ladder body fixed to the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "secondary ladder" has been added to the main ladder, and a pair of wheels are installed at the top. When climbing the city, the ladder can move freely up and down along the city wall, and there is no longer a need for people to carry it on their shoulders. At the same time, the main ladder adopts a fixed device, simplifies the ladder erection procedure, shortens the ladder time, the army only needs to stop the main ladder under the city when attacking the city, and then set up a secondary ladder on the main ladder, you can 'sleep on the city', thereby reducing the danger and difficulty of erecting the ladder in front of the enemy, and ......"

Han Xin and Zhang Er couldn't help but be a little dizzy, and Han Xin hurriedly stopped his tendency to continue, "In this way, this new type of ladder can reduce the casualties of my soldiers and soldiers a lot. ”

Ram Valley nodded; "Naturally, this is also the original intention of me to improve the ladder. If you first destroy the city wall and the fighting spirit of the defenders with a thunderbolt, and then quickly use the flying ladder to quickly climb the wall, you can go down to the city if you want to. ”

Han Xin looked at him, suddenly bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice; "Han Xin is here to mention that the people of the world worship Mr. Ram, if you get this sharp weapon, the world can be quickly pacified, and the people can suffer less, Mr. Ram is making a great contribution, please accept Han Xin's worship."

Although Ram Valley was arrogant, he also respected Han Xin very much, and when he saw this, he hurriedly helped him up, and said in a hurry; "General, you are tormenting the old man, how can the old man be virtuous, how can he afford your worship!"

Han Xin straightened up and smiled when he heard this; "How can you not afford it, what you have done is not only in the present generation, but also in the future, if you get this sharp weapon, I will be invincible in China, and the reunification of the world will be greatly accelerated."

Seeing the two of them pushing Zhang Er, there was a knowing smile on his face, and regardless of whether Han Xin's words were sincere or not, his statement undoubtedly made Ram Valley die for him for life. This is the strength of Han Xin, he does not have the arrogance of the children of the nobility at all, he can treat people and things according to people's conditions, and he does not feel superior. treats Wang Jing and Zhao Wuji with brotherhood; treats Wang Qi and Gongsun Hong, who are old ministers, and he uses the righteousness of the country; And to treat these people in Ram Valley is to respect and buy their hearts.

This is much stronger than Liu Bang, who is good at grasping people's hearts, and it is no wonder that Liu Bang is far from his opponent.

At this time, the Qin army had already been assembled, and groups of armor soldiers stepped out of the camp in an orderly manner under the leadership of the officer, and were ready for battle. Looking at the mighty and majestic army, Han Xin suddenly became heroic, turned over and waved his hand; "Pass my command, and the thunderbolt will go into battle."

The red flag flipped in front of the battle, and soon twenty huge thunderbolts were loaded with stone shells on the pitchers who had been waiting for a long time.

"Ready." The officer's hoarse voice rang out in front of the formation, and the pitchers untied their ropes and gritted their teeth to pull desperately.

"Put!"

A huge roar sounded, and twenty black shadows flew into the air, roaring and smashing towards the Boyang city wall, splashing a cloud of dust. The guardrail of the women's wall made of rammed earth could not resist the impact of such a huge stand at all, and the hula that was hit collapsed at once, and several Han soldiers who were leaning on the women's wall suddenly fell into the city, and they were not stoned to death on the spot and fell into flesh.

Such an earth-shattering momentum is really like a thunderbolt. Seeing such a momentum, the Ram Valley in front of the formation was suddenly very excited, dancing wildly and waving his hands and shouting; "Put, put, put! Give them a taste of the power of the thunderbolt!"

Soon, dozens of stone bullets rose up in the sky as he wished, and smashed into Boyang City like a meteor shower, and some fell under the city with deviations, and many of them fell far into the city, but still half of them smashed on the city wall, making a huge roar. In the dust, there were screams of Han soldiers.

Zhou Bo, who was standing on the city wall, was stunned and motionless, just staring at the stone bullets that kept flying with wide eyes. His hands and feet were suddenly cold, and a thought kept coming to his heart: I am afraid that this time it will be his turn to die in battle.

"General, be careful." A personal soldier beside Zhou Bo threw him to the ground, and Zhou Bo, who was unaware of it, was held and rolled around several times, only to hear a loud noise behind him, which almost broke his eardrums. Immediately, a burst of rubble splashed all over the world, and his cheek was scraped by the rubble, and blood was dripping immediately.

"General, go down quickly, it's dangerous here." Several soldiers rushed up and forcibly pulled Zhou Bo down the city. Zhou Bo had already come to his senses, pushed the soldier away, and shouted urgently; "Gather the reserve camp immediately, the Qin army is about to attack the city, hurry, hurry!"

Zhou Bo is experienced in a hundred battles in the end. He was right, the Qin army first bombarded the city wall with a thunderbolt, and then a large number of cloud ladders were pushed up by the dense armor soldiers, taking advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack.

In fact, although the thunderbolt cannon is amazingly powerful, it is limited in number after all, and it has caused great pressure on the psychology of the Han soldiers, and the real casualties are not much. Later, Han Xin saw that the purpose of shock and deterrence had been achieved, so he gathered all 20 thunderbolts and bombarded a section of the city wall, smashing the upper part of this section of the city wall into a broken brick wall.

At this time, the war drums and horns in the Qin army camp had already sounded, and a large number of armor soldiers surrounded by thirty flying ladders to storm the broken city wall, and the remaining Han army immediately drilled out, brandishing broadswords and halberds to step forward. A large number of Qin soldiers who had died climbed the ladder, braved the rain of arrows and dense trees to climb upward, and then jumped onto the city and killed the superior Han army without hesitation.

This is the Qin army crossbowmen who are on the field have also arrived, and they have shot at the guards at the head of the city, and the defenders at the head of the city are not to be outdone, and they also use arrows and sassers.

Knife to knife, halberd to halberd, the city has been slaughtered, the Qin army and the Han army are like two fierce beasts that meet on a narrow road, both with red eyes and desperately biting each other, never dying. There were constantly soldiers of the Qin army and the Han army scuffling with each other and falling from the city wall, becoming a mass of flesh, and there were also stumps and broken arms falling, and screams came and went.

Neither side had any intention of preserving their strength, and the first round of attacks sent their most elite troops, and the already arduous battle of the city defense began in such a tragic way.
