Chapter 496: Go to War
However, the walls are much stronger than the buttresses above, and the six floors we are on are internally connected, and we can see that several places have been "shot", but only some damage, producing a lot of soot, and the stone bullets have not penetrated the building.
"Can they have more powerful ranged weapons?" I asked Jiang Jun.
"Isn't that amazing?" Jiang Jun asked rhetorically.
"Answer my question," I said, puffing on my cigarette and frowning, "this is the battlefield, why are you so unserious!"
Jiang Jun stood up: "Lord Huiyu, there is also a fire oil bomb, but we are Stone City, they won't use it!"
This Jiang Jun is still quite strategic, I have probably seen before, this city built on the stone wall, is indeed a veritable "stone city", the buildings in the city, it seems that all of them are built on the spot using the stone on the mountain, except for the slight difference in the color of the roof, the walls of the house, the steps and the stone of the city wall, are the same species, the same color of stone.
Ordinary cities in the plain area, there are more wooden materials in the city, suitable for fire attack, the attack method is lawful, can cause the whole city fire, threaten the food, grass and supplies in the city, and win without a fight, but attack this kind of stone city, can only be hard, throw stone bombs, and cause casualties.
"That's okay, I think these six floors are still quite strong, so let's fight here...... You also wonder why you have to stand on top to defend it?" I pointed to the shattered seven floors above my head.
"Uh...... Aren't they all so defensive? Wait until the enemy approaches the city wall," Jiang Jun pulled the rope next to the window, and with a bang, a thick stone slab descended from above, sealing the window, "The windows on all floors are closed to prevent the enemy from entering, the enemy can only climb the city wall, and the battle will start on the top floor!"
I waved my hand, "They won't get there, you open the window, it's too dark.".
Jiang Jun tried to remove the slate from the inside, and after several attempts, the slate stood firmly because it was embedded in a groove with a matching shape underneath.
"Uh...... My lord, let's change the window, this slate is too heavy." Jiang Jun said embarrassedly.
I nodded, went next door, and continued to watch.
After about fifteen minutes of throwing stones, the catapult stopped attacking, and in the yellow fog behind them, a cloth team in black armor appeared, and the team marched in order, apparently well-trained, and in the ranks, there were also some wooden machinery, like ladders, erected for siege purposes.
I passed through a few big trees on the battlefield, measured the distance, and ordered Bingbing, and when the enemy came to the third big tree, everyone, shoot together, there are about 400 meters away from the city gate, there are archers in the opposing camp, but I don't think the range of the archers can be so large, and all kinds of rifles on our side have a range of 400 meters, not to mention that they are condescending, the trajectory is straight, and it is easier to aim.
The first time I came to the battlefield, especially just now on it, I was almost hit, and I was still a little nervous, the opponent's big cloth team in order to maintain the formation, the marching speed was very slow, I lit a cigarette, patrolled around this floor, cheered up the big guys, and helped the soldiers who operated the guns to answer questions, mainly to emphasize that when shooting, you must be against the shoulder, otherwise it is easy to be injured by recoil, just now when I tested the gun, the huge recoil almost sits me on the ground.
These Yin soldiers, there are all dynasties, a few are modern, said to have used similar weapons, and another, is a veteran who participated in the Anti-Moon War, or Haijun, I asked him if he had ever fought the kind of anti-aircraft machine gun on the ship, air defense, in fact, that is the artillery gun, the veteran said that he had, I quickly invited him to the middle position, let him operate the aircraft, or let the professional do professional things, I am responsible for the command.
After two cigarettes, the enemy finally reached the preset position.
Bingbing immediately gave an order, and for a while, the sound of guns was like bursting beans, although they were all single-shot shots, but because they were all automatic and non-shooting, the point firing speed was also very fast, and the floor was soon filled with gunsmoke, but because we didn't breathe, we couldn't smell the smell of firecrackers.
It's a pity, I always like the taste.
