Chapter 370: Boom!

As a low-level officer in the forbidden army, although Zhang Zhongwu did not participate in the official combat of the forbidden army, he still knew the basic establishment of the forbidden army.

Twenty eight-ox crossbows and twenty catapults are the siege equipment that under normal circumstances, the Changying Army, or a standard engineer battalion in the forbidden army using the Changying Army as a template.

If that's all there is to it, the problem is that the convoy following behind the equipment of the engineer battalion has extended to the corner of the wall, which is really excessive.

According to the normal standard of the forbidden army, each eight-ox crossbow was equipped with 60 heavy crossbows, and the catapult was equipped with 30 stone bullets, which is the so-called ration of one base.

A base number of crossbows and stone projectiles does not seem to be too much, but it is enough to deal with most battles, after all, this thing is lost, the faster the frequency of fire, the greater the chance of loss, and it is impossible to use it indefinitely.

If the firepower brought by twenty catapults and twenty eight-ox crossbows was not enough, then the solution given by Guo Rong was to increase the number of eight-ox crossbows and catapults carried by sappers and sappers.

Just like the First Battle of Wuzhou, Guo Rong spent more than a month, and finally placed hundreds of large catapults under the city of Wuzhou.

Under the volley of 10,000 cannons, it took less than half a day for the fortified Wuzhou to be directly bombarded, which led to the Tubo people being forced to cede land and sue for peace.

The problem is that as far as Zhang Zhongwu can see, the number of heavy crossbows and catapult stone projectiles attached to the Eight Bull Crossbows has far exceeded the number of a base number.

After the engineer battalion arrived, the officer who led the team quickly asked Li Fangbang, the highest-ranking lieutenant on the scene, how to operate, and Li Fangbang simply pointed to the Cui Mansion in front of him, and then only gave the other party three words: Boom!

Most of the people living in the location of Yongjiafang are dignitaries, covering a large area, and the streets are relatively wide compared to other markets, but the width is not more than 100 steps, compared with the distance measured by 100 steps on the battlefield, it is basically to a negligible extent.

Therefore, after getting Li Fangbang's order that can be equated with being able to act recklessly, there is no superfluous action.

Twenty catapults lined up on the street at the main entrance of Cui's house, ten paces from south to north, in a row. Twenty eight-ox crossbows were divided into sections, ten crosses in groups, two steps apart, directly blocking the front of the Cui Mansion about twenty paces in front of the front.

The remaining ten crosses, in groups of two, were assigned to a corner outside the Cui Mansion to assist the forbidden army blocking the Cui Mansion to blockade it.

If the other party dares to take the lead, or dare to shoot cold arrows on the rooftop, then these sappers of the forbidden army don't mind having a mid-door snipe with them.

The soldiers of the forbidden army were constantly on alert, the sappers were constantly busy, and Li Fangbang was coordinating and commanding the soldiers, engineers, logistics and other arms to prepare for the Cui Mansion, but Zhang Zhongwu, who was familiar with Chang'an City as an assistant, was idle.

So, he shifted his attention to the peerless murder weapons in front of him. Looking at the huge body of the Eight Bull Crossbow, the round and huge winch, the thick rope wrapped around the winch, the length of more than half a foot, the thickness close to the mouth of the bowl, the arrow made of fine iron heavy crossbow lost.

Looking at the tall bracket of the catapult, the thick and powerful crossbar, the long and thick rod arm, extending to the edge, can hold a hundred pounds of bullet bags, and the stone bullets that are either round or square, weighing no less than 100 pounds.

Generations of soldiers, Zhang Zhongwu has not seen these siege equipment, but Zhang Zhongwu knows that these siege equipment from the hands of the Forbidden Army Engineer Battalion in front of him are absolutely not the same as what he has seen directly.

Not only is it more convenient to operate, it is more convenient to move, but more importantly, it is too terrifying. Recalling the scene he had seen at the test site, Zhang Zhongwu's scalp was numb for a while, but compared to Zhang Zhongwu, other forbidden troops, including Li Fangbang, were more excited, and such opportunities to brush up on military exploits were rare.

After all, they have not officially entered the sequence of the forbidden army. Compared with the forbidden army that was in full swing in a relaxed and excited state on the streets outside the Cui Mansion, the various people in the Cui Mansion were different.

When they first began to be surrounded, these guys' morale was still very high, and in the face of Li Fangbang, who had just started shouting with a loudspeaker, these guys, who had no idea what they would encounter, did not respond at all.

Not to mention the response, in the hearts of many people, there is not even the idea of paying attention. However, as time progresses, some intelligent people have found that this state of development does not seem to be right at this time.

After discovering that the other party was the elite of the elite, he was besieged in the Cui Mansion, and people from different origins, different identities, and different purposes had fallen into a deep sense of unease.

After seeing that the forbidden army had mobilized a large number of real siege equipment such as catapults and eight-ox crossbows, the various people in Cui's mansion developed in two completely different directions.

Some rangers, swordsmen, doormen, and outlaws feel that the pressure has been reduced a lot, and in the eyes of these guys who can only fight fiercely, these guys who surround the mansion outside, although they look glamorous, but in essence, they are likely to be a group of silver wax spearheads!

After all, the equipment is so well-equipped, and the number of people is superior, and they don't even have the courage to attack directly, what can this be?

If it were them, if they had such an advantage, they would have entered a long time ago. Compared with these guys who don't know whether they live or die, can only talk about it, or can only fight fiercely, those who have really been on the battlefield, fought in battles, and even participated in siege battles, such as the generals of Cui Mansion and the fugitive soldiers who were hired, are already full of fear and even despair in their hearts.

Courage is very important in war, but the brain is more important than courage in most cases, and when they simply besiege and do not attack, they are not in a hurry, because they don't know what the other side wants to do.

Although there has been persuasion, the words of the other party's persuasion are obviously perfunctory and too serious, only punishing the evil, coercing never asking, and dealing with it in the future, these words are all farts.

Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, this is the truth that children understand, these veterans who have fought battles, seen blood, and experienced enough bloody and dark things will not believe it.

And persuasion of this thing will never be only once. Cui Mansion looks like a house, but it is actually a fortress, and it is definitely not an easy thing to capture such a fortress.

Wait until these forbidden troops of the imperial court have suffered losses, shed blood, and know that they are in pain, and then ...... However, after seeing a symbolic surrender from the other party, they directly mobilized the eight-bull crossbow and catapult, which are real siege equipment, these guys who have really fought in the war were instantly stunned.

When they couldn't understand it, this was inside Chang'an City, how could the other party be so frustrated, and put the catapult and the eight-bull crossbow into Chang'an City to attack a small mansion.

Even if this house looks a little sturdy, but you use an eight-ox crossbow and a catapult to go too far, what is the difference between this TM and killing chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife and anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes!

It is true that the Cui Mansion can be regarded as a small fortress, but the problem is that it can only be regarded as a small fortress, not a real fortress.

What's more, even if it is a real fortress, a real fortress, how many can resist the non-stop attack of catapults?

At this moment, the thought in their hearts is despair! While the other party is still making preparations and has not yet carried out the final attack, to fight for the only chance of survival, the reward of the Cui Mansion is indeed rich, but this must also be able to take it.

It's just that others may have a choice, but the generals of the Cui Mansion and the children of the families who have been raised since childhood do not have the opportunity to choose like this.

The generals and retainers are often in solidarity with the whole family, and while enjoying the family's offerings, they also bear obligations equivalent to this right.

Its status in the family is quite high, and in many cases, it can even make decisions on behalf of the head of the family when it is not half the master, and when the head of the family is not there, and when it is related to the survival of some families.

In the history of China, there are countless similar examples, Cheng Ying and Gongsun pestle are staged

The plan of "stealing the sky and changing the day".

The "Zhao orphan" is nothing more than this. It was these generals and children who controlled the defense power of the Cui Mansion at this time.

Faced with the mortal environment, more than a dozen of them experienced the battlefield, finally offended Shangguan, and were forced to flee from their original territory, and directly found the highest-ranking person among the generals of the Cui Mansion family, and put forward a proposal to surrender and save their lives.

Then, unsurprisingly, he was rejected by the general of the Cui Mansion, and the other party not only refused, but also his voice was full of mockery.

"Come if you want, leave if you want, what kind of place are you in Cui's Mansion?"

"Captain Cui! Don't talk so much nonsense, you're also fighting an old war, don't say you don't know those things outside, your Cui Mansion's mansion is not Chang'an City, how many times can you carry it? ”

"Humph!" After snorting disdainfully, Cui Yang no longer paid attention to this group of guys who had been frightened, and continued to arrange defenses while preparing to move forward.

Although these people in front of them are afraid of death, they are the elite of a serious feudal town, and more importantly, if they don't have themselves, they won't have a chance to escape even if they want to.

Seeing Cui Yang, who was the core figure of the Cui family, was unmoved, and the group was also directly fierce, only to see that the leader suddenly raised his hand.

The next moment, accompanied

The sound of "Cang Lang Lang~", a large group of people drew the horizontal knife on their waists in an instant.

"Don't you hear it, the surname is Cui, you can leave if you want to, but you have to give the yeses a word, yeses are here to get money, not to send them to death!" Seeing that the group of people directly exceeded the horizontal knife, Cui Yang, who was pointed at by more than a dozen horizontal knives, laughed instead of anger.

"The lord has taken the risk to shelter you, spent a lot of money, and provided you with enjoyment, and it was very enjoyable when you enjoyed it, and now you want to run away when you are in danger, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?" With a mocking smile, as he spoke, he walked directly to the person in charge, blocking the opponent's horizontal knife in front of his chest, and raising his hand at the same time.

With Cui Yang's movements, the Cui family generals behind him, the family members, bows and arrows, aimed straight at this group of guys who were ready to rebel.

In just this moment, the situation in Cui's mansion changed abruptly, and the fugitives who tried to rebel and force the other party to compromise suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Their strength is indeed good, and more than a dozen people can indeed take down Cui Yang, but at such a close range, in the face of a strong bow and crossbow, there is no possibility of survival at all.

Seeing that the knowledge was not good, the leader of the runaway directly threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the ground, fluttered, and knelt directly on the ground.

"Brother Cui, Brother Cui, I am also the old, the young, and the brothers who follow me are all the same, it is not easy for the brothers to come out to beg for a living......"

"Brother Cui, we have a good relationship, and we eat and drink together......"

"Cui Yeye, raise your noble hand and let us live, we will repay your great kindness by being cows and horses in the next life......" Looking at the group of people in front of him, Cui Yang and Cui Fu's family generals had a trace of disdain in their eyes, if it was possible, Cui Yang wanted to give the order and shoot all these guys who had no eggs to death.

To be honest, at this time, judging from the current situation, Cui Yang, who participated in the plot of his own family master, has already judged that his family master's plot may have gone wrong!

It's just that now that the enemy is present, it is still useful to keep them, and with the posture of the other party's forbidden army, it is obvious that they are not ready to stay alive.

"You are the Qinghe Cui clan, really rely on the Four Books and Five Classics to stand in Shandong for thousands of years? Do you really think you have a choice from the moment you enter this door? Rebellion has always been a sin of the Nine Clans! ”

"Let me tell you, we haven't lost yet, the family head has contacted almost all the nobles in the entire Chang'an City, as well as the support of many elders in the court, and we are not the only participants,...... There are even Hu Shang, as long as they hold on until the head of the family returns...... "With a big pie, Cui Yang suppressed the crisis that arose within the Cui Mansion, but at the same time.

Outside of Cui's Mansion, all the preparations had been completed, and the military academy of the engineer battalion that led the team quickly issued an order after asking Li Fangbang for instructions that he could attack.

A flag-bearer holding a red flag stood in front of the gate of Cui's mansion, in the middle of twenty catapults and ten eight-ox crossbows.

After receiving the order to attack, the victory was ordered.

"Put!" At the same time, wave the conspicuous red flag in your hand downwards vigorously. Hearing the sound of the order and seeing the waving red flag, rows of flag-bearers holding red flags quickly waved the red flag in their hands downward, and at the same time shouted their own orders.

Immediately afterwards, with the flag bearer as the center, twenty stone bullets flew towards the Cui Mansion in a relay state.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!" Since there was no unified aiming this time, there was no unified Zhuyuan, and all the stone projectiles flew in the direction they liked in a willful way.

As everyone knows, this has brought greater fear and destruction to all kinds of people in Cui's mansion.
