Chapter 120: Strength and Weakness

In the afternoon, no one in Yunzhai went out to provoke, and Cen Bi also did not give the order to attack, after all, relatively speaking, it was more important to build their camp. Yunzhai was there, and they didn't need to attack in a hurry.

There was nothing wrong with both sides, and it was soon dark. Both sides lit torches on the edge of their camps, but they were both afraid of a surprise attack. There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, after the county soldiers rested for a night, under the organization of Cen Bi, they made preparations before attacking the village.

Cen Bi is not hypocritical, and it is a real siege when he comes up directly!

At the front of the army is the rushing car, also called the 'rushing car'. This rushing car is the only one that Cen Bi has brought from the pottery, this thing is the most bulky, one is okay, if there are too many, I'm afraid they will be a lot later to get here. The punch is about three meters high, three meters wide, and about five meters long before and after. There is a "human" roof on the top of the rushing car, which should be used to shield the arrows. In the middle of the car is a huge wooden pile, the length of the wooden pile is more than four meters, the diameter is about half a meter, the front section is slightly thin, and the rear end is slightly thicker. The front section of the stake is equipped with metal ramming angles, and the entire section is suspended from the top of the truck with iron chains. There were six wooden wheels under the rushing car, and there were twenty or thirty people inside and outside the rushing car. One of the soldiers who rushed into the car was one of the five third-order generals that Wang Yun saw yesterday.

After the rush was a group of sword and shield bearers, dressed in crimson leather armor, holding a black wooden shield in their left hand and a sharp and shining dagger in their right hand. Wang Yun watched from the gate of the wall, and after a rough estimate, he could see that the sword and shield hands dispatched by the other party were around 500 people. These sword and shield men were led by a third-order general, and their footwork was strict and orderly. They didn't seek to be fast, but steady, following the slow-moving rush ahead.

The sword and shield hand is followed by an archer, and the turban armor on the archers is the same color as the sword and shield hand, both of which are crimson red, but slightly different in style. With a short bow in their hands and quivers behind them, they were also in a rigorous formation, and under the leadership of another third-order general, they marched towards Yunzhai. And their number should be about the same as that of the sword and shield hands, all of them are about five hundred.

In the end, it was Cen Bi who personally led hundreds of people to suppress the formation. He didn't go into battle personally, and now is not the time. He was patiently waiting for his moment to make a move. Now it's up to us to see if the rush can do what he hopes. If the rushing car can knock the gate of Yunzhai open, then he can successfully take Yunzhai by making a wall at the gate of the village. And if the car is destroyed, he has no way in the past, after all, the opponent is on the five-meter-high walled gate, which does not change with his strength.

Wang Yun looked at the other party's formation and actions, and had to nod in praise. No matter how much resentment Cen Bi has with him, his ability Wang Yun does not dare to underestimate it, rushing to break through the gate of the village, protecting with swords and shields, and suppressing with archers, it is the best choice. Although this is just a very common routine, common means commonly used, and the commonly used strategy is always the most secure strategy! The two sides were about to go to war, and Wang Yun no longer stayed on the gate of the village, he silently walked down the plank road on the right. This battle was handed over to Zeng Hong to command.

After Wang Yun went down, he quickly went up from below, and many soldiers went up. Now above the gate of the village, there are nearly 100 soldiers in Yunzhai. At the front, behind the half-meter-high battlement wall, were nearly twenty people led by Qiu Hu, all dressed in turquoise clothes and unarmed. The turquoise clothes they wore were the military uniforms worn by all the soldiers in Yunzhai, and the reason why they were turquoise was also borrowed from the color of modern military uniforms. It's just that the technology of batch dyeing is not in place, so I had to choose not camouflage, but a slightly inferior turquoise. Although these twenty people were unarmed, the three rows of soldiers behind them knew that they had a huge role. It all came from the weapon that every three of them had in their hands!

It was a ballista, six in all, standing quietly by the battlement wall. They're not huge, at least they're much smaller than the ones outside! The length of the front and back is only a little more than a meter, and this is already the length of the crossbow arrows fired by the ballista. The height of the ballista is only sixty centimeters, slightly beyond the battlement wall, but it is not obvious from the outside. It's less than a meter wide, and half of it is with an arrow box! Looking at this small ballista, except for a very small number of craftsmen in Yunzhai, no one understood how such a small thing could cause so much damage. Even Wang Yun, who took out the drawings, couldn't understand it at all, of course, Wang Yun didn't understand it but could accept it. After all, there are examples of modern guns, and it is much easier for players to accept something small but with a lot of power. That's right, this is exactly the King Tiger Cannon (abbreviation) made according to the drawings provided by Wang Yun. Gathering a total of 67 craftsmen (including 35 carpenters and 32 blacksmiths) in Yunzhai, it took 20 days to make a total of only six King Tiger Cannons, and today is the time for it to exert its might!

These ballistas were followed by a row of man-to-man sword and shield men, or they could no longer be called sword and shield men, who had abandoned the short knife in their right hand and held a wooden shield in each hand. The two wooden shields were stacked on top of each other, but they were more than a meter high, and they were lined up in a row of more than thirty people, and the wooden shields were also together, but they formed a row of shield walls. At a glance, it was clear that they were there to guard against the archers of their opponents.

Behind this row of shield walls are two rows of archers from Yunzhai. There are not so many of them, and there are only more than thirty people in the two rows, however, they are the main force to suppress the opponent, after all, shooting arrows on a five-meter high wall has a great advantage!

There are only nearly 100 people on the gate of Yunzhai, but it is densely packed and it seems very crowded. Not for anything else, just because the gate of Yunzhai is too narrow. The width of the entire walled gate is only more than 20 meters, and the thickness of the front and back is only five meters, even on the side of Yunzhai, Wang Yun quickly added a two-meter-wide plank road, and the area above the walled gate is still too small! There is a small advantage, that is, the number of enemy attacks is also limited, which is conducive to defense. But there are also small disadvantages, just like now, the enemy is pushing the rushing cart and protecting it with heavy troops, but Yunzhai does not have enough soldiers to give the opponent a fatal blow above the walled gate.

However, Wang Yun is not worried. After all, he had seen the power of the King Tiger Cannon, not only was the destructive power amazing, but the speed at which it fired arrows was also amazing. Wang Yun believed that if he was targeted by it, the generals below would definitely not be able to escape death, and even if the third-order generals could dodge, they would be embarrassed. Moreover, its accuracy also reassured Wang Yun, not to mention where to hit, at least it has the accuracy of an ordinary crossbow. You must know that the crossbow is, after all, a long-range weapon that shoots directly, and it is a weapon that can exert the greatest strength when you get it in your hands, and its accuracy even makes many generals with poor bowing skills carry one with them to make up for the lack of long-range! Wang Yun believed that these six King Tiger Cannons were enough to make Cen Bi outside give up the idea of using a rushing car.

Seeing that the rushing car had entered the attack range of the Tiger King Cannon, Qiu Hu, who was in charge of the ballista, glanced at Zeng Hong, and after getting Zeng Hong's instructions, his right hand raised and fell, and shouted softly: "Release!" ”

Suddenly, the six King Tiger Cannons, which had already been aimed, buzzed and fired arrows. Of course, this humming sound is not the sound of the ballista being fired, but the sound of the arrow driving the air when it flies at high speed! The sound of these six arrows is staggering, but if you want to say that they are not very good, at least they are not terrifying. The arrows of the six Tiger King Cannons in Yunzhai are not huge, only one meter long, and the diameter is only three centimeters, there are iron arrows in front of them, and white arrow feathers in the back, and some lines are carved on them. The arrows of the King Tiger Cannon are specially made, which costs a lot of materials and labor, but in the eyes of outsiders, such a short ballista arrow is only seen. And small is always connected with weakness, and ordinary people will always unconsciously think that it is not powerful. But I don't know, this is a big mistake!

The car was still more than 200 meters away from the gate of Yunzhai, but it had already entered the attack range of the King Tiger Cannon. The destination of these six arrows was the cart team of twenty or thirty people inside and outside the rushing cart. The mission of these people is to use the rushing car, and the mortality rate of using the rushing car is amazingly high, Cen Bi certainly does not want his own elite to die, so their strength is not high. In the face of this 'giant' arrow that quickly arrived in front of them, they did not get Qiu Hu's unexpected arrow. When the crossbow arrows reached a distance of two hundred meters, there was already a downward trend, and the soldiers of Yunzhai would deliberately press down, so these crossbow arrows did not miss at all. Not to mention the miss, because the enemy had to push the rushing car and stand relatively densely, these six arrows even killed as many as fifteen people! This is still because the third-order generals on the other side are hiding quickly, otherwise, there will be one more person!

A salvo almost wiped out the opponent's team pushing the rushing car, and the power of the King Tiger Cannon can be seen! Seeing such a record, the soldiers of Yunzhai were also confused, and it took a while for them to cheer!

The third-order military general who was in charge of rushing the car on the other side was lucky enough to escape by reflexing, and he was naturally terrified. He trotted all the way to Cen Bi's side and told him about the power of the King Tiger Cannon.

Cen Bi just patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that the little Yunzhai would have such a good thing as a city guarding crossbow, I really didn't expect it!" Still, it's okay that only the enemy is stronger can keep us interested, isn't it? Instructed Zhang Qi to let some of the sword and shield men move to the front and guard the chariot. Isn't it just one or twenty people? I see how many people he can kill me! ”

The military general looked at Cen Bi's face, but he didn't immediately notify that Zhang Qi, but whispered to Cen Bi: "Captain, this Yunzhai actually even has a crossbow car, it looks like it can't be underestimated!" Our rush probably won't have much effect, and we're just dying. Why don't we withdraw, why don't we use catapults! "He was frightened this time, and almost had to 'retreat', only to change his words when he came to his mouth.

"Of course, the loss can be reduced with a catapult, but the accuracy of the catapult is very bad, and it takes a lot of time to destroy this short section of the other party's walled gate. Second, after destroying the enemy's wall with a catapult, the road is also not easy to walk, and we have to clear another path for volunteers to walk, and at this time the enemy archers can take the opportunity to inflict a lot of casualties on us. Therefore, it is best to be able to use the punch car to make contributions, if not, we will use the catapult as a last resort. ”
