Chapter 51: Dung Balls, Cannonballs, Trebuchets... Powerful Defense!(Collect!)

In the process of thinking about how to deal with the little nun, Li Daoyi went to the thatched house in the Qishan Village, where he occasionally saw a few shells rolling dung balls, and couldn't help but be inspired, so he thought of a plan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wouldn't it be possible to make some cannonballs out of that dung mixed with clay, and then fire at them when the fireheads attacked?

After going back, Li Daoyi told Luneng and Liu Xiong his ideas, and asked the two of them to find a way to make a batch of dung ball bombs overnight. After Luneng and Liu Xiong left, Li Daoyi brought Zhuge Zaotian and Bai Yu and asked the craftsmen of the two families to work together to make as many light trebuchets as possible for throwing dung balls over long distances.

While sleeping, Li Daoyi also used the carrier pigeon handed over to him by Wang Gui to have a brief exchange with the defenders of Wudang Mountain. Of course, he mainly wanted to make sure that Wudang Mountain, under the leadership of Li Daoer and others, would not be captured by Ma Chong's clone.

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next day, Luneng, Liu Xiong, Zhuge Zaotian and others took Li Daoyi to see the results of their respective nights.

More than a thousand dung balls are piled up under the walls of the inner walls of the fourth level, each about the size of a football. Because the wind does not blow for a long time, these dung balls are still slightly soft to the touch, and once they are thrown and fall on people or the ground, they will definitely snap and immediately fall into a broken cake shape and splash all around with juice and debris.

Although the dung ball in this state is not as painful as the dung ball in the dry and solid state, it is definitely the greatest threat to the firehead army. Therefore, Li Daoyi was afraid that these dung ball shells would be dried by the wind, so he motioned to several minions guarding the dung ball shells next to him to wet the dung ball shells with water or dung juice from time to time.

Looking at the three trebuchets placed near the city wall, except for the hemp rope at the switch, the rest of the place is a pure wooden structure.

To be honest, it would be difficult to make parts that require flexible twisting, even with 21st century technology, without parts such as nails. However, the skilled craftsmen in the two families of Zhuge Zaotian and Bai Eat vividly showed all the key parts related to rotation on the trebuchet with pure woodworking carving methods.

According to the introduction of several craftsmen, the maximum range of these three trebuchets can reach 500 meters, and of course the effective range is only 150 meters. The effective range refers to the maximum range at which a soldier can accurately strike an enemy according to the aiming scale engraved on the trebuchet when he is manipulating the trebuchet.

And the maximum range of 500 meters is only the limit distance that can be achieved by throwing a dung ball cannonball shell with all the full strength of the trebuchet, but the accuracy is not at all talked about.

Li Daoyi took out some scattered silver that he had brought with him, and after rewarding the main makers of dung balls and trebuchets in addition, he asked Luneng to find some more minions and carry three trebuchets and hundreds of dung ball shells from under the walls of the inner wall of the pass to the city wall in advance to prepare for battle.

Soon, before the trebuchets on the walls of the fourth pass were fully positioned, the enemy forces were already in action.

Li Daoyi motioned to the minions to speed up the handling, and at the same time hid in a small lookout to observe the three hundred fireheads under the gate.

I saw that about 100 meters outside the checkpoint, 300 firehead soldiers were guided by the three-pole red flag, wearing red shirts and holding a torch, forming a formation with the word "fire" and slowly approaching the pass. Each of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, with high morale and might, and at first glance it seemed to be a team of undefeated kings...,

And at the back of the 300 fireheads there was a red cart, and on either side of the red cart stood a bald monk with an iron rod. There is no doubt that the little nun should be sitting in the red car, and the two monks standing next to it are the protectors of the little nun when they are doing their work.

At the back of this force was Ma Chong, who was riding a horse, carrying a machete, and wearing a white armor and white robe! The mountain road in Qishan was relatively flat compared to Wudang, and the horses could be mounted, so Ma Chong had a mount at this time.

"Hmph! Rao is how brilliant your past achievements are, and today you will definitely be left without a piece of armor!"

Li Daoyi looked at those robot-like firehead soldiers, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

This was the second time that the 300 fireheads had launched an attack on the fourth checkpoint in Qishan. Yesterday, when the Huotou Army carried out its first tentative attack on the fourth checkpoint of Qishan, Luneng almost exhausted all the remaining rolling boulders on the mountain, and lost 200 defenders before he barely defended it!

If it weren't for the appearance of Li Daoyi today, Luneng would not have the confidence to defend at all. After all, the boulders that smash people best are almost running out.

A few minutes later, the firehead army had stopped thirty meters from the outer wall of the pass, and trebuchets and more than 500 dung ball shells had been placed on the wall of the pass.

"Hehe, Master Li, I can really see you anywhere!

Ma Chong stood at the back of the Huotou Army, and when he saw Li Daoyi standing at the fourth pass of Qishan, he symbolically arched his hand and asked like a panacea.

In addition, General Ma, don't forget, at the first checkpoint of Wudang Mountain, you lost three battles in a row under Poor Dao! And today when Poor Dao comes to Qishan, you are destined to lose again. Poor Dao advises you in advance, quickly lead the troops to leave Wudang and Qishan, otherwise, one day Poor Dao will personally send you to the Western Heaven, and then you will regret it!"

"Master Li, you are really lonely. As everyone knows, if you can really send me to the Western Heavens, then I really have to thank you for your help! Because the Great Compassion Shakyamuni Buddha is in the Western Heavens, and I just took the opportunity to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures! In addition, the battle in Qishan is not as easy as that in Wudang. Because along the way, I invited the invincible and invincible Firehead Army as the advance team!"

Liu Xiong immediately laughed loudly and said, "Haha! Ma Lao Er! It's a pity that you only care about your own anger for a while, but you want to bury these 300 firehead soldiers with you!"

"Hmm, it's Liu Sanye! Although you have killed my doppelganger, for the sake of being a hero, as long as you can submit to me, I will recommend you to the leader of the rebel army without thinking about it! You know, as long as you can become a general in the rebel army, and at least you will be rewarded as a marquis after your success, why do you bother to bury your youth here for the rest of your life?"

Liu Xiong burst out laughing again, and then scolded loudly: "You are such a confusing world, a short-sighted rat, you are really full of nonsense! I never thought that your death was just around the corner, and you were still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period of the founding of the Marquis, which is really pitiful!"

Including Li Daoyi, the defenders on the gate heard a loud ridicule.

"Ahh

Ma Chong kindly wooed Liu Xiong, but ended up like this, and couldn't help but scream angrily.

The 300 fireheads received the commander's decree and began to march towards the gate of the fourth checkpoint. ...,

Due to the powerful monster fire of this firehead, their way of attacking the pass was very domineering, that is, they rushed to the enemy's gate desperately, then set fire to the gate and all the defending soldiers, and then took the opportunity to open the gap and rush in to occupy it.

Luneng just wanted to give an order for the soldiers to start throwing dung ball shells at those fireheads, but Li Daoyi quickly stopped and said: "Slow! If we throw dung balls and shells now, then they will have a chance to escape after they feel that they can't stand it! We will wait until these 300 fireheads are completely below the pass and have no choice but to retreat quickly, and then throw dung balls and shells at them." ”

"Uh... After extinguishing the strange fires used by those fireheads with dung ball shells, the miscellaneous family took advantage of the fact that they could not retreat in time, opened and closed the door, and led the troops to rush out to cover up and kill!"

After Liu Xiong listened to the conversation between Li Daoyi and Luneng, in order to create the illusion that his side did not have new weapons, so as to further tempt the Huotou army to "go deep alone", he began to order the archers around him to fire arrows at the rushing Huotou army like the previous defenses.

After Ma Chong saw this scene, he was immediately overjoyed and muttered to himself: Liu Xiong, I didn't expect you to be a stupid pig too! After the first few battles, don't you know that bows and arrows pose the slightest threat to the Huotou army? I can't sum up such a simple truth, and I really bring about my own destruction!

While Ma Chong secretly sighed in his heart, Li Daoyi also opened his eyes and truly saw the horror of the Huotou Army. I saw that before the bows and arrows shot from the pass approached the fireheads, they were completely burned by the flames that erupted from the mouths of the fireheads.

It's like a small comet trying to hit the Earth, and the little comet burns itself up completely in the atmosphere.

And when those fireheads spewed fire into the sky at the same time, Li Daoyi could clearly see that there were waves of hot air in the void!

Fortunately, Liu Xiong and others had already smeared the important defense facilities under the minions in the Qishan village with dung, otherwise, the place where the Huotou army passed would really be "not an inch of grass left, not a drop of water left"!

Seeing that those firehead soldiers had rushed to the gate and began to burn the gate with strange fire, Li Daoyi felt that the time was almost ripe, so he said to Luneng: "Quickly order the soldiers guarding the pass to throw dung ball shells at the firehead army under the pass!"
