Chapter 50: We Are Artillery

What is this?"

Guo Zhifeng was the first to discover this strange thing that Yun Chubu had made.

"I'm going to use this thing to throw people on the city wall, so that I can be the first to go to the city to fight, and all the military exploits belong to Lao Tzu."

"I don't think it works, even if this thing can throw people on it, you'll be thrown to death."

"No way, I'll wear something thicker."

"No matter how thick you wear, you'll be crushed to death."

"Then throw rocks at it."

"There's already a trebuchet on General Gao's side."

"This one of mine is bigger."

When talking to the ancients about things like technology, Yun Chu usually said it in a joking way, and it was profound, and when they didn't understand it, when they didn't understand it, they would get mad and think that you were lying to him, so it was better to say it in a joking way.

Gao Kan was also fighting on the trebuchet, when he noticed the movement on Yun Chu's side, and looked up at Yun Chu's seven-zhang tall thing and asked Yun Chu, "What is this?"

Yun Chu said, "Trebuchet."

Gao Kan looked at it again and said, "It's not like a trebuchet."

Yun Chu said, "Those who can throw stones out are called trebuchets."

Gao Kan looked at the Goguryeo Fortress 80 zhang away and said, "Can you hit the city wall?"

Yun Chu glanced at the soldiers who were loading heavy stones into the huge wooden baskets of counterweights, and said, "I only know after trying."

Gao Kan found a folding stool and sat down, and said to Yun Chu: "Don't worry, the old man is watching here, you test well, the test is successful, and the old man will remember you."

Yun Chu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, General."

After the men had filled the huge basket with stones, dozens of strong soldiers pulled ropes and pulled down their long arms that were raised high and connected them to a leather bag.

Gao Kan saw the size of the stone in his leather pocket and said, "This thing weighs three hundred pounds, right?"

Yun Chu said, "The final requirement of the last general is to be able to throw a five-hundred-pound stone into the city."

Gao Kan pondered for a while and said, "Unthinkable."

Yun Chu smiled, just waved his hand, and a government soldier cut the rope with a knife.

With a bang, the rope was thrown into the air like a whip, and then the huge weight basket pulled up by the long arm sank suddenly, and the power was transmitted to the long arm, and the leather rope hanging on the long arm took the boulder weighing three hundred catties into the air, and then flew into the air.

Gao Kan, Guo Beifeng, Yun Chu, Wen Rou, and Yun Chu's whole army all stared at the stone, only to see that after the stone flew into the sky, it became smaller and smaller, flying over the city wall and city pass of the Goguryeo people, and finally only a loud noise was faintly heard, and there was no movement.

Gao Kan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "At least six hundred steps."

Yun Chu looked at the stunned Guo Beifeng and said to the soldiers, "Come here for a five-hundred-pound stone."

So, the soldiers pushed over a boulder of 500 miles, and then used a crowbar to reposition the stone on the leather pocket.

Yun Chu patted the thick log on the trebuchet, praying that it wouldn't suddenly break.

So, the government soldiers reset the long arm again, and Yun Chu also changed the position of the rope, so one of the government soldiers once again cut the short rope that connected the long rope.

It was exactly the same as the last time, except that the squeaky of the wood could be heard, but the five-hundred-pound boulder was still thrown smoothly.

This time, the boulder was very face-saving, and after flying over a distance of more than 80 zhang, it smashed into the towering enemy tower on the city of Jili.

After a loud bang, the enemy tower was immediately smashed, and under the flying of sawdust, a large hole was opened in the middle of the enemy tower, which had just been majestic.

Gao Kan looked at the power of this cannon, and then said to Yun Chu, "The next time you smash the city wall, until the city wall collapses."

Yun Chu nodded, this was a result that had been expected for a long time.

Gao Kan looked at the stunned Guo Zhifeng and said, "Let's go, if you don't have such a seven-trick exquisite heart, don't think about it, let's honestly follow the old man to attack the city."

Yun Chu looked at the big hole on the enemy tower with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Donghai: "Continue to load the stones, you have to grope slowly, see the relationship between the weight and distance of the knot and the stone every time, and record it, in the future, our brothers will use this thing to kill the enemy and break the city, I don't want to climb the city wall again."

Zhang Donghai said with a smile: "The general's whimsical idea is to top 100,000 male soldiers, and lowly people can also benefit from following the general."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Do you think we will specialize in this thing in the future, and use this thing to break the city and kill the enemy remotely, do you think there is a head?"

Zhang Donghai said: "It's not a big problem to break the city, but the field battle still can't be achieved."

Yun Chu said: "When attacking the city, we bombard it with huge stones, and when we fight in the field, we use small stones to cover it, and the throwing distance of this thing is basically the same as that of a sliding bed crossbow, and we can kill a lot of enemies without waiting for the enemy soldiers to get close."

Zhang Donghai said in a low voice: "The general is invincible in the battle array, why does he have the heart to fight?"

Yun Chu sighed and said, "If I hadn't been in charge of you, I probably wouldn't have this kind of thought."

Zhang Donghai said: "I see, the general still has some women's kindness, and when he goes into battle, he doesn't care about casualties, this is not the mood that a general should have."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Don't forget, my duty is the Wannian County Order, and what I think about is how to increase the number of Dingkou in this county, how to make the people richer, and how to make the annual taxes paid to the imperial court more.

Once upon a time, when the official was walking in the countryside, he was overjoyed to hear a newborn baby crying.

Every time I see other people's houses all over the sky, I feel disgusted in my heart.

These government soldiers are all strong laborers in my Wannian County, they should be cultivating in the fields, or working on the construction site, they are obviously living people, but under the order of this official, they fight to the death with the enemy soldiers, and such a general will not do it."

Zhang Donghai arched his hand and said: "The general thinks like this, which is naturally a blessing for the people of my Wannian County, but fighting at the border is also a major event of the country, and it is a blessing for the brothers to have the honor to serve under the general.

I don't know if the general has thought about it, if the commander of the government soldiers in Wannian County is not a general, and is replaced by Guo Beifeng and others, I am afraid that more than half of the casualties will have been killed and injured at this time.

Therefore, the lowly people still hope that the general will command the government soldiers of our Wannian County."

Yun Chu was silent for a moment, nodded gloomily, and saw that the soldiers had loaded the boulder again, so he ordered a bombardment.

This time it was just right, the boulder bombarded the city wall, and it was still firmly embedded in the city wall, and the huge spider web-like cracks were densely covered on the city wall, looking at this appearance, the city wall could no longer withstand the second wave of attacks from the boulder.

Everyone was overjoyed, and the Tang army, who was ready to attack at any time, was even more in an uproar, and Yun Chu happily ordered the soldiers to continue throwing stones.

Zhang Donghai watched on the side for a while, worried, and happy for a while, and in his mind, the two Zhang Donghai were fighting fiercely.

I really don't know whether I should report the cowardly side of Yun Chu to the emperor today.

In Zhang Donghai's view, Yun Chu is almost a perfect commander, brave and invincible in battle, not simply brave, but also full of wisdom and fighting very smart.

At the same time, he never shirks when carrying out the orders of the officials, and he can complete it every time, and there are surprises.

The soldiers of Wannian County followed him, all the way to the present, the battle loss was less than two percent, and throughout the whole army, only the battle formation under the command of General Dingyuan was the most neat.

Not to mention the first soldier, it is obvious that the person who is famous for good food in Chang'an, since he entered the army, he eats the same pot of rice with his subordinates, and he is willing to share it with his subordinates.

Such a person, in Zhang Donghai's view, will definitely be the talent of the new generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty over time.

But the heart is too soft, so far, the most severe punishment for his subordinates is just a military stick, just ask, which general has not been stained with a few of his own lives since the battle.

Only he didn't, there were some mistakes, he would rather carry them himself than risk the lives of his subordinates.

Looking at Yun Chu's heroic posture of commanding the trebuchet to continue throwing stones, Zhang Donghai groaned painfully in his heart and said, "General, Ci is not in charge of the army, this is a taboo for generals for thousands of years."

Of course, Yun Chu didn't know what Zhang Donghai was thinking, but since he gently said that Zhang Donghai was not only the commander of the Chong Dynasty, but also very likely that the Baiqi Division was facing the emperor's secret agent, he wanted to infect Li Zhi by infecting Zhang Donghai's emotions.

That's right, people's emotions will be infected, especially with Yun Chu's current prestige in the army, coupled with the coercion generated by the trebuchet like a huge thing, his emotions can easily infect Zhang Donghai, and let Zhang Donghai give birth to something called empathy.

Yun Chu doesn't need to expose Zhang Donghai's identity, let alone buy this person, he only needs to develop empathy through the experience of living and dying together for more than half a year.

In this way, Zhang Donghai will stand in a moral trench with Yun Chu intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, the seemingly objective and fair words that came out of the mouth of this seemingly third party were all praise for him, even if the shortcomings were pointed out, it was because of kindness.

So, when the trebuchet threw out the third boulder, the boulder fell on the wall, and with a bang, the solid walls of the city, which was made of stone on the outside and rammed earth on the inside, collapsed with a bang.

The foot soldiers of the Tang Army, who had long been ready to attack, rushed forward.

And the Yun Chu army was in the rear, methodically using boulders to smash all the obstacles in front of the Tang army for them.

When the Tang army had already attacked the front city of Jili City, Yun Chu used hundreds of horses, dragged heavy catapults, and slowly advanced on the wood-paved road, continuing to play his irreplaceable role in attacking the defenders of the back city on the ridge.

The defenders of Goguryeo were in a very bad mood at this time, and they thought that the impregnable city would be shattered in an instant under the attack of the huge stones, even in the face of the Tang army, when their side was on the defensive, the boulders would fall from the sky at every turn, smashing many people into powder.
