Chapter 242: Angry Birds Might

Xiahou Ba was originally ready for battle, and dispatched manpower to prepare for defense on the city wall, which can be said to be three layers inside and three layers outside, filled with people. Xiahou Ba is also a qualified general, and he still knows a little about the allocation of troops to defend the city.

He placed a platoon of archers in the front row, who were tasked with suppressing the enemy from a distance, and the enemy had to go through at least four or five rounds of bows and arrows before running under the walls.

Further behind was a platoon of able-bodied soldiers who were responsible for throwing the sandalwood rolling stones. When the enemy runs under the walls, that's when they come into play. Their job is to move stones or wood to smash people, so they must have a lot of strength and stamina.

Further back is a platoon of pikemen, and if the enemy can still climb the wall after the first two rounds of blows, then it is up to them to go out of their way, their job is similar to a game of whack-a-mole, except that instead of using a hammer, they use their spears to pierce the rising enemies one by one.

That's not all, Xiahou Ba also arranged a row of sword and shield men behind the pikemen, which was a class of troops that prepared for hand-to-hand combat after the enemy broke through the city wall. In addition to these rows of combat forces, there are also countless people shuttling among them, constantly carrying and replenishing arrows, sandalwood rolling stones, food, drinking water and other supplies for the soldiers.

There are also reserves in the caves of the hidden soldiers, which can be replenished at any time according to the specific situation. It's good now, he arranged such a dense crowd on the city wall, and all of them cheapened the Keqiu killing troops, becoming a beautiful blood flower in their credit book.

This is also because Xiahou Ba still lacks experience in fighting with the Hong army after all, especially in defending the city, if Lu Xun is replaced by Lu Xun, the "people who have come over" in Eastern Wu, then he will definitely not dare to configure such a dense crowd on the city wall, they are all afraid of being bombed.

In addition to the defenders on the city walls, many of the people who were driven to help defend the city gathered on the inner side of the city walls to help carry various supplies.

Many of the rockets born from the big fireworks flew over the city wall and flew into the city, these people gathered inside the city wall poured blood mold in the hall, and the dense crowd made the rocket's killing efficiency amazingly high, basically the bullet was not missing, each rocket killed a piece of people, Keqiu killed only a few rounds, and the people who were killed were already countless.

The tragic situation inside the city wall and on the city wall was almost the same, all flesh and blood were flying, and a large number of people were killed and injured. However, the chaos here is worse than on the city walls, after all, most of the people here are untrained, undisciplined civilians, and there is no restraint of officers, so it is strange that they are not frightened to lose their minds in the face of this hellish scene. As a result, these temporarily conscripted men blew up the pot in the hall, shouting and scurrying around.

Some of the hapless people weren't killed, but they were knocked to the ground because others were running around, and a stampede ensued. Stampedes in crowded places are terrifying, especially for people who have lost their minds. At this time, if someone falls, countless pairs of feet will follow, and the person who falls is basically not spared.

The city wall was chaotic, a scene of the end of the world, the Shu army outside the city was not idle, the Keqiu killing troops continued to bombard, the angry birds were not far behind, they suppressed the Wei army on the head of the city when Keqiu killed the Wei army on the head of the city so that they couldn't raise their heads, they quickly ran to the twenty meters in front of the city wall, and began to arrange positions.

If the Wei army on the city wall was not too frightened to raise their heads, they could see a large group of people running towards the city wall in a swarm with all kinds of strange things, and if they could see the things that these people were holding under the city wall, they would definitely feel strange. Some of these people were carrying sledgehammers, some were carrying a long steel pole on their shoulders, and some were carrying herringbone ladders.

I have seen those who besiege cities, but I have never seen those who besiege cities with these things. Even if you want to climb the city wall, you need at least a ladder several stories high, what is the use of this herringbone ladder how high is it? Soon the answer was revealed, and when the men reached about twenty meters from the city wall, they began to nail the steel poles.

The steel rod is as thick as an arm, pointed at one end, swollen at the other end, and is one foot two feet (3 meters) long, and the whole looks like a large iron nail that has been magnified countless times. A soldier below inserts the tip of a steel rod into the dirt and holds his hands steady, and a big man climbs the herringbone ladder with a sledgehammer, while the two people who originally carried the ladder hold on to the herringbone ladder.

After the big man climbed up, he began to swing the sledgehammer and struck the large end of the steel rod with all his might, and the big steel rod was knocked into the dirt in one fell swoop. The poles were quickly hammered into the earth to a depth of four feet (1 meter), and in some cases, they had to dig them up and re-hammer them when they encountered rocks underneath.

Soon, all the steel poles were in place, and then a soldier climbed a herringbone ladder and quickly hung two bullet arms on the two steel poles. This boom is made of springs and belts, and the two booms are connected together by a leather bag.

At this point, the Angry Birds have been installed, and it took less than ten minutes before and after, during which Keqiu Kill has been roaring non-stop. If Lu Xun was defending the city, at this time, he would have to drive the soldiers to the city wall to guard the enemy no matter what, and no matter how heavy the casualties were, he would not dare to let the Shu army outside the city go.

It's a pity that it was the Wei army who defended the city, it was Xiahouba, an inexperienced guy, the Wei army on the city wall was frightened and crouched on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, plus the smoke obscured the vision, no one found that a strange army had come under the city, and no one had time to fire crossbow arrows to attack the enemy close at hand under the city.

Soon, the Keqiu killing troops stopped firing, there was no way, the cost of rockets was too expensive, and it was also very troublesome to manufacture, the output was not large, so it had to be saved, and there were still many cities to attack on the road ahead.

Now the Angry Birds troops are powerful, the Angry Birds are just a bag of explosives, the process of making zuò is extremely simple, the cost is low and there is no technical content, find a few idle rural aunts, and everyone can give them a handful of scales to produce.

As long as they are not mentally retarded, they can basically learn how to make zuò in a quarter of an hour, because there is only one key point in making zuò: accurately weigh the weight of gunpowder, of course, it does not need to be accurate to grams, it doesn't matter if there is a little deviation, anyway, it will not be because of the amount of medicine or something, as for whether it will affect the accuracy of the head because of the difference in weight, does this kind of slingshot have an accurate head at all?

As for how to bury the fuse, how to wrap the gunpowder and tie it so that it does not leak, for these working women, the difficulty is similar to that of wrapping rice dumplings.

This is the most important reason why Liu Hou decided to use Angry Birds, which is cheap enough and has a large enough yield. Otherwise, where is there any use for a weapon with such a short range. After the bombardment stopped, the Angry Birds took over and continued to bombard the walls, with explosive packs being thrown onto the walls and inside the walls.

Because Keqiu's attack stopped for a while, the # military and civilians of the Wei State, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly fell into the Shura Hell again, and those who could run and had the courage to flee from this hell on earth, and those who couldn't run, the cowardly continued to lie down, burying their heads on the ground, and praying to the gods and Buddhas for protection.
