Chapter 120: Sneak Attack on the Horse Farm

When the soldiers saw the boulder coming, they did not panic, but they methodically hid behind the female wall on the city wall, and used the female wall to protect themselves from being smashed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After all, this catapult throws stones every day, and there are results in the first few times, but in the back, everyone is familiar with it, and they know how to dodge, so they are not so afraid of these flying stones.

However, today is destined to be different. Today's boulders don't seem to be ordinary, they are bigger, and they hit the female wall, and the female wall collapsed in a large piece, and smashed into the city wall, and the city wall cracked a big hole.

In this way, the soldiers who hid under the women's wall were all unlucky, and the women's wall collapsed in pieces, and groups of soldiers were crushed under the women's wall.

And those generals who are familiar with the flying stones on weekdays have also encountered new problems today, the flying stones are dodging, but this is a boulder, the boulder smashed to the city wall, a huge shock, so that the generals next to him fell to the ground, and the flying gravel is like cold water added to the hot oil pot, instantly shot out, within a range of ten meters around the boulder, almost no one can be spared.

Just one round of stones came down, and a large number of casualties were caused. Sadly, the boulder fell like dumplings on the city wall, and it didn't stop until dark.

After a day's ravage, the walls were like dogs gnawing, full of gaps, and as for the towers, they all collapsed. The soldiers on the walls had to go down to the walls to avoid the boulders, and although the boulders kept rolling down the walls, they could only hit some unlucky ones.

Fortunately, the Mongol Tatars outside the city did not take advantage of the situation to attack, otherwise the city would have been guarded in disarray. Of course, the Tartars outside the city were not stupid and could not grasp the fighters, but felt that it was unnecessary, because they saw the power of the new siege engines, and naturally thought that there was no need to risk taking the city.

At this time, even a fool knew that the rich Mongol Tatars outside the city had found a new type of siege weapon, a powerful stone-throwing vehicle.

Therefore, the defending generals in the city also knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and if they didn't think of a way, the city would be smashed sooner or later, and the city would be breached sooner or later.

If you want to live, you must take some other measures, otherwise you can only wait for death. To tell the truth, Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu, the generals of the defenders of Fancheng, are both experienced generals, so they naturally saw the situation clearly at the first time, and also understood why the Tartars did not attack the city, but only used catapults to smash the city.

But then again, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you have any siege tricks, I will have my defensive strategy, you use catapults to smash the city wall during the day, and I can arrange people to repair the city wall at night, anyway, there are a lot of bricks and stones, if not, just go to the kiln.

However, today's boulders are coming too violently, and no matter how much they are repaired at night, it is estimated that it will not help. Because many boulders hit the waist of the city wall, there is no way to repair such scars.

Generally speaking, the higher the walls of a city, the better, and the higher the wall, the less difficult it is for the enemy to attack. But today's experience has made Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu change their views, the city wall of Fancheng is tall, more than 30 meters high, but at this time Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu hope that this city wall will be shorter.

The reason is simple, the higher the thing, the higher the center of gravity, and the higher the center of gravity, the worse the stability. Under the impact of the catapult, the greater the possibility of the overall collapse of the poor stability, which is also the reason why the theory of the high wall of the giant city has lost the market after the appearance of the giant catapult. After all, the higher the blast attack the wall, the better.

Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu thought hard about countermeasures, but they were helpless.

This time, the methods used by the enemy army are extraordinary, there is no way to crack it, unless you go out of the city to demolish these siege equipment, there is really a dead end!

Of course, it is indeed easy to talk about going out of the city, but once you get out of the city, you will have no advantage of relying on the city, and with such a sharp weapon, how can the enemy not send heavy troops to protect it?

Especially on the night of the first day, it is estimated that an ambush has been set up around the stone throwing truck, and he is waiting for himself to send people to destroy it. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, you have to wait for a day before going out of the city, otherwise it will really be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.

At this time, Li Tang experienced a day of boulder purgatory, and he was also amazed by the cruelty of war! Li Tang knew that this must be the return cannon of the Mongolian Tatars, and the walls of Fancheng were estimated to be unable to be saved. And his task is to protect the people of Fancheng, how can this be done? Now trapped in the city, can't even go out of the city, how can you protect the people of Fancheng!

Li Tang didn't think about sneaking over the city wall and sneaking outside the city to wait for an opportunity to destroy. But at night, the city wall was full of soldiers and civilians repairing the city wall, and if they went down the city wall by themselves, if they were called by these people, their whereabouts would be discovered by the Mongolian Tartars, which was so inappropriate.

So, Li Tang endured it, and in the evening of the next day, the guards in the city summoned the people who dared to die to go out of the city to destroy the stone throwing cart, and many people flocked to sign up for a while. Li Tang saw that this was a good opportunity to get out of the city, so he also signed up for the death squad.

That night, after Li Tang and nearly 100,000 other people who dared to die were full of wine and food, they secretly opened the closed city gate and quietly went out while the night was dark. These people took advantage of the direction of the catapult throwing stones during the day and touched the catapult. After Li Tang followed everyone out of the city, he walked to a bush, pretended to have a stomachache, unbuttoned his pants and stool, so he slipped smoothly and staggered the large army.

After Li Tang left the large army, he tried to summon the Roaring Sky Dog from the Qiankun Bracelet, but he was able to summon it. Then, Li Tang took out his Jiyun Martial Arts and put it on his body, and at this time Li Tang felt a little more at ease.

With the Roaring Sky Dog by his side, Li Tang felt a lot more at ease. After all, the detection ability of the Howling Sky Dog is not covered, and the strength of the Howling Sky Dog is not bad, and it is more than enough to deal with the general situation.

Li Tang followed the Howling Sky Dog and ran towards the enemy's military camp position, because there were too many checkpoints along the way, and with the ability of the Howling Sky Dog, he couldn't force his way through. Of course, the roaring dog is naturally okay, but Li Tang can't.

Therefore, one man and one dog walked around for several hours, and it is estimated that it was not until the second half of the night that they arrived at an area with relatively weak defenses, which should have been very far away from the Mongol camp at this time.

The place where the Howling Dog came was naturally a military facility of the Mongols, but the defense was relatively weak. There are not many guards, and the guards are relatively lazy, and the patrols are not as frequent and serious as in other places, it is estimated that it is an unimportant territory, and Li Tang estimates that it may be a place like a material warehouse.

The roaring dog took Li Tang around and around, basically bypassing all the levels, and if he couldn't get around, he would directly kill the dog, and if he encountered the same kind, he would directly solve it. In the end, Li Tang came to a huge camp, and the camp was not soldiers, but military supplies.

Speaking of which, this military material Li Tang is really not rare, but it is just a stack of hay, which is estimated to be the rations of war horses. Seeing this forage, Li Tang was excited, the forage is here, will the war horse be far away?

Sure enough, in another camp not far from the forage, a large number of horses stood. This is exactly what Li Tang is interested in, but I just don't know if I can receive the Qiankun bracelet, if I can, then Li Tang will make a lot of money.

Li Tang tried, and sure enough, there was an extra batch of horses in the Qiankun bracelet, and it seems that it is really possible, this can be a stable horse breed that can endure hardships and stand hard work - Mongolian horses! Fortunately, the horses also need to sleep at night, otherwise there is really no way to receive these horses into the Qiankun bracelet.

It is as simple as collecting a fallen asleep war horse and collecting a fallen asleep person, and the war horses are standing and huddled together when they sleep, which is more convenient to collect.

Therefore, it is extremely simple for Li Tang to collect these war horses, because the thinking of war horses is simpler than that of people, so it is a little faster to collect them.

So, after one night, there were only some horses left in the horse farm that were not asleep, and the number was no more than 10,000, and there were almost 800,000 more horses in his Qiankun bracelet.

At this time, the sky was already a little bright, but Li Tang didn't want to slip away, because he heard that there were millions of Mongolian Tatars attacking Fancheng this time, and many Mongolian elites were one person with two horses, or even three horses, even if it was one person and one horse, plus those horses pulling carts, etc., the number must be more than these. self

It's been a long time to sneak into this core area, how can you leave so easily? Besides, leaving at this time also has a certain risk!

Therefore, Li Tang and the Howling Dog retreated to the forage yard, found a straw stack closer to the center and climbed up, hid in the middle of the straw stack and began to fall asleep, while the Roaring Dog was on the side.

Of course, Li Tang doesn't need to sleep, he only needs to meditate to recover his energy, although the Howling Dog can't meditate, but, because he came in as a player, even if he becomes a pet, he hasn't lost the privilege of not having to sleep, so the Roaring Dog can recover to full value just by staying still.

Li Tang and the roaring dog hid on the top of the haystack, the haystack was 4-5 meters high, and Li Tang hid in the grass, even if others went up to other haystacks, they couldn't see Li Tang, so even if there was no vigilance, there was nothing to do.

It is said that the death squad that went out of Fancheng found the return cannon and destroyed part of it, but the Mongolian Tatar is not a fuel-efficient lamp. They had been in ambush for the middle of the night before, but no one came, causing a lot of money and complaints.

The next day, the Tartars estimated that the defenders in the city did not dare to come out, so they did not deliberately set up a trap and ambush. However, a lot of people were still arranged to defend this time, and as a result, the two sides met together, and they fought fiercely, causing mutual damage.
