Chapter 693: Siege Equipment
The role of the military fortress is still obvious, relying on several military fortresses, connected by points, the Gul Khan army has built a very stable line of defense, successfully blocking the attack of the fierce brother army, and finally the Gurhan army has a fierce general like Xiao Feng, in the face of the military fortress, there is nothing to be done for a while, and the steppe tribes who have no engineering weapons can only be filled with human lives!
But now, the army of Gul Khan has built this line of defense, which is already the last hope, if this is relieved to collapse, and the back is flat, it will no longer be able to stop Brother Meng's army, and then it can only rely on the royal court to make the final struggle, so the army of Gul Khan has also fought hard and sworn not to retreat!
The generals on both sides know that this is a war where you die or I die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Facing the iron wall hooked by the army of Gul Khan, the army of the fierce brother attacked for several days, but with little success, let alone breaking through, it became extremely difficult to even rush to the city wall. Zeng Yi and they are not following Xiao Feng to take the lead, such a siege battle, as far as their more than 2,000 people are concerned, there is no difference between sending them to death, and other players are not too involved, they have already experienced several such siege battles, and the players also know that participating now is a loss-making deal!
In the face of such a situation, the players all know that at this time, on the side of Gul Khan, it is good to kill a little people, so a large number of players chose to defect and defect to Gul Khan, Zeng Yi actually wants to defect to the opposite side, at this moment, it is much easier to be on the opposite side, just stand on the city wall and shoot directly, but in terms of the relationship between him and Xiao Feng, I really dare not do this, in case Xiao Feng and they see it, this relationship will not be good in the future!
After a few days of mixing with Brother Meng's army, there was still no progress, this night, Zeng Yi went to Xiao Feng to drink, Xiao Feng changed the sorrow of the previous days, and became a lot of joy, Zeng Yi knew that there was something good at a glance, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Make the big brother so happy? ”
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Good thing! The casualties are too great these days, but they still can't break through the enemy's defensive line, Brother Meng, Khan, contacted the king of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Western Xia decided to support a batch of siege equipment, with this batch of heroic equipment, the soldiers on the front line will shed less blood! ”
Siege Machine! Zeng Yi was very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that Xixia would agree to support such a thing! Later, Zeng Yi learned from Xiao Feng that these siege equipment were not free, but Brother Meng spent a lot of money, and it was not as Zeng Yi thought, what kind of ballistae, crossbows and other weapons were just some ordinary siege equipment, siege towers, crash cars or something!
The siege tower is tall and equipped with wheels under the tower to travel. During a siege battle, push it closer to the wall and the soldiers will be able to step directly from the platform at the top of the tower to the head of the enemy wall. The crash car has a huge wooden stake with an iron head on the pile that swings back and forth inside the cover and crashes into the city wall or gate. After hitting the wall, the stake will swing back and continue to ram the wall. This force can break through gates or stone walls made of thick planks, opening a gap that can be attacked.
These two siege equipment are not directly lethal, but there is also a batch of stone throwing machines in this batch of siege equipment, this thing is more scary, also known as cannon, is a siege weapon in ancient times, can throw one or more boulders into the enemy's city walls and cities, causing damage, the best siege weapon in the era of cold weapons. Trebuchets can also scare the people of the city by throwing filth, dead beasts, enemy dead heads, and prisoner corpses.
Zeng Yi never imagined that Xixia would take out his own housekeeping weapon, this thing is usually something that will not be sold if it is not sold for a lot of money! Later, Zeng Yi knew that the Xixia people were not so stupid, but they just gave Brother Meng a batch of manpower stone throwers, and the manpower stone throwers were used to pull the tips on the crossbar together far away from the catapults. The cannon tip is erected on the wooden frame, one end is tied to the holster that holds the stone bullet with a rope, and the other end is tied with many ropes for people to pull and throw the stone bullet, the gun tip is divided into single tip and multiple shoots, and the maximum number of gun tips is mounted on a gun carriage, which requires 250 people to cast.
In this way, Zeng Yicai was relieved a lot, and in his heart: "Made, the Xixia people fortunately didn't come up with the return cannon," "back back cannon", also known as the Western Regions cannon, boulder cannon. It is a stone thrower, a weapon used in the offensive and defensive battles of war. This kind of stone throwing machine is a kind of stone throwing machine that the people of the Western Regions have improved, improved, and innovated on the basis of the ancient stone throwing machine to be more advanced and more powerful.
I was very interested in siege equipment, Zeng Yi quietly set Xiao Feng a lot of words, Xiao Feng didn't think much about it, but he didn't know everything, this is more than business In fact, Xiao Feng also played a big role, Brother Meng and Yelu Hongji, in the name of Xiao Feng, talked to Xuzhu about the purchase of siege equipment, Xuzhu looked at Xiao Feng's face and contributed to this matter, but this batch of siege equipment is not all taken by Brother Meng, Xiao Feng has contributed a lot, naturally he has to fight for some for the Khitan, and finally about one-third of it is assigned to the Khitan tribe!
According to Xiao Feng, Western Xia has been prepared and will be transported to the grassland in the near future! After asking about these things, Zeng Yi quietly drank with Xiao Feng, and after drinking, Zeng Yi left Xiao Feng! As soon as he left Xiao Feng's camp, Zeng Yi hurriedly committed suicide and returned to the capital, this batch of siege weapons can affect the existence of the battle situation, Zeng Yi must notify Qinglong in time!
Returning to the capital, Zeng Yi didn't care about the dark, he came to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, fortunately, Qinglong had not slept yet, and was eating with the two of them, Zeng Yi was not polite, sat on the table, ate, and said while eating: "The dishes of the Central Plains are delicious, and the grassland is roasted in addition to roasting!" ”
Qinglong and his wife glared at him angrily, "It's a big night, why did you run back?" ”
"Hey, hey! Master, I got a major piece of information, Brother Meng ordered a batch of siege equipment from Western Xia, and there is a stone thrower in it! ”
I thought that Qinglong might be shocked, but the expression was very bland, and Zeng Yi immediately reacted: "Master! Did you already know about this? ”
"A few days ago, I received a report from the spies, but I didn't expect that Xixia even provided the stone thrower to Brother Meng!"
"No return cannon was provided, only some manpower stone throwers were provided!"
"Whew! I'd like them to provide a return gun, so we can get a few back and study it!" ”
"......" In the face of such a shameless Qinglong, Zeng Yi was a little uncomfortable for a while! (To be continued.) )
