Chapter 813: Hot Air Balloon

"Your Majesty, all the artillery has arrived, and in addition to that, the last general has brought tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, enough to support the needs of the army for several months. After www.biquge.info separating from Qin Shixin, Shi Huaiyi soon came to the outside of Dragon City, sent all the supplies to Li You's camp safely, and reported what he saw along the way.

"Well, General Shi has worked hard, and when this battle is over, he should give General Shi a great credit." When the army goes out, logistics is particularly important, and Shi Huaiyi can smoothly transport supplies, which is indeed indispensable, "These grains and grass are all accumulated by the people of the Jia Dynasty, and we must not waste them." ”

The reason why the attack was not launched before was because the defense of Dragon City was indeed tight, secondly, because the siege equipment such as cannons, trebuchets and nest carts had not yet been built, and thirdly, it was out of scruples about the cavalry scattered by Arubu, but now that these three problems have been solved, it is time to attack.

During this time, the Jiazhou Army was not idle, and the staff department made a large-scale model of Longcheng, pondering various strategies to break the city all day long; The craftsmen turned the wood brought by the Jiazhou army from afar into the equipment used in the siege of the city; The infantry is conducting the final siege drills; The artillerymen were constantly measuring the data from various places in order to find the most suitable artillery positions; Under the leadership of Chen Heng, the sappers dug pits here to check the local soil quality and find a suitable route for digging tunnels.

These tasks have also come to an end, the data required for the siege has been collected, and the soldiers are ready for battle.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Jiazhou army is about to attack the city." The generals in the city quickly passed the news to Arubu in the palace, Arubu did not dare to slack off, immediately put on his armor and hurried to the city wall, looking at it, only to see that the Jiazhou army was slowly approaching the city wall in a neat line, and there were countless siege weapons such as cannons and trebuchets in the team.

Compared with the immediate battle of Gyeonggi Province, the Jiazhou army seems to be stronger, Arubu not only felt a pang in his heart, but quickly comforted himself, this dragon city is not as good as those wood, mud made of camps, Jiazhou army wants to break through the dragon city is definitely not so easy, he shouted loudly, "Hahaha, it seems that the grain and grass of the southern barbarians can no longer withstand it, let us teach them a good lesson, and then wait for them to retreat and take advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture the capital!" ”

Bewitched by Arubu, the morale of the soldiers in the north of the city has improved somewhat, but it still can't be compared with the Jiazhou army under the city; Suddenly, several huge guys suddenly appeared in the military formation of the Jiazhou Army, these guys looked extremely hideous, which was intimidating, and many people blurted out at the same time, "What the hell is that?" ”

Arub couldn't help but stick his gaze to the biggest and most eye-catching guy, only to see that this guy's was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually turned into a huge ball, the ball slowly rose into the sky, chasing a hanging basket below, and there were several soldiers of the Jiazhou Army in the hanging basket.

"Devil!" I don't know who started first, but many of the soldiers of the Northern Captives began to bow down to these hot air balloons on the city wall, and they regarded these as legendary monsters, otherwise why did these guys look so terrifying? Can you still rise into the sky? This is not something that mortals can do! The little morale that Arub had worked so hard to boost was gone, and the soldiers at the head of the city were filled with panic.

"Your Majesty, this thing is truly miraculous!" It was the first time Zhou Bofu had seen these things, his eyes widened, even if he was so unafraid of heaven and earth, he couldn't help but tremble a little when he saw the soldier rising to such a high place along the hot air balloon, he probably didn't have the courage to go up.

"This is all the credit of Mr. Gu's little disciple." A young man in his twenties beside Li You was nervously looking at the hot air balloon slowly rising in the distance.

This Mo family disciple named Zhou Zhengxin is an orphan, when he was a child in the capital to beg for a living, accidentally picked up Gu Jiangzi's lost Mo family box, he took it as a toy to spend three days dismantling it and reloading it, when Gu Jiangzi found the lost property, he couldn't help but be surprised, so Zhou Zhengxin was accepted as a closed disciple.

Zhou Zhengxin did not disappoint him, and soon became the most diligent among the disciples, more than ten years not only Gu Jiangzi's body learned cleanly, but also made many achievements in other fields, Zhou Zhengxin often claimed that he was the first in the machine, the second in smelting and casting, the third in the ranger technique, and the fourth in Mojia academics; This hot air balloon was completed after several years of research and development by Li You, who led the team.

In just a few moments, the hot air balloon had risen to a high place, and the soldiers in the hanging basket relied on binoculars to see Arub's arrangement in the city clearly, and the drawings with city defense information were packed in bamboo tubes and fell to the ground along the cables of the hot air balloons, and the staff officers waiting next to them hurriedly picked them up and handed them over to the staff officers.

The staff officer quickly showed this on the map, and quickly calculated a set of data, which was transmitted to the artillery battalion and the trebuchet battalion.

There is no way to keep the trebuchet now, the current power of the cannon is not able to break the solid city wall, if you want to attack the enemy facilities behind the city wall, you can't do without the trebuchet that can be curved, of course, the trebuchet used in the Jiazhou army today has also been redesigned by the Mo family, and the weight, distance and accuracy of the launch far exceed the equipment in the Arub army.

After receiving this data, one trebuchet after another began to reload their thunderbolts, aiming at the Northern Captives' trebuchet positions hidden behind the city walls.

"Launch!" With the commander's order, hundreds of thunderbolts hit the predetermined location at the same time, and the northern soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly shrank behind the battlements to hide.

However, to their surprise, very few of the projectiles fired by the Jiazhou army fell on the city wall, and most of them fell over the city wall and into the city.

"Oops, not good!" Before the soldiers in the city could be a little pleased, Arub cried out, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction in which the projectiles had fallen.

"Boom!" The thunderbolts landed and made a loud explosion, and the trebuchets that Arub had specially hidden to give the Jiazhou army some color to look at were reduced to waste in the explosion, and these trebuchets withdrew from this high-stakes battle without even firing a single stone bullet.
