Chapter 1069: Various Means (2)

Amid the shouts and drumming of the soldiers of the whole army, Li Wannian, who was sitting on horseback, turned his head again to look at the three-story giant stone throwing machine on the left and right.

This equipment is a strengthened version of the stone thrower built according to the design and structure of the military advisor Shen Bo, and its power should be more than double that of the previous ones, even if it is a strong pass like Jiameng Pass, its wall is afraid that it will not be able to withstand the continuous bombardment of boulders.

It's time to break through this hurdle!

As his thoughts turned, he quickly drew his sword and gave the order, "Attack!"

Crunch - Crunch -

The military order was issued, the order flag was waved, and the soldiers who were ordered to operate the stone thrower quickly got busy, constantly carrying the huge stones into the huge back bucket, and then designing the front counterweight according to the distance, which was really busy.

With such a huge siege weapon, every time it is launched, the manpower and time required are immeasurable, which is why such siege weapons are rarely used on the battlefield of the Central Plains today.

Because the conditions are too harsh, it has become the biggest constraint on the giant stone throwing machine. Once the blow is not effective and the enemy catches the gap killer, then these weapons are really decorations.

However, this completely unequal offensive and defensive battle avoids the biggest drawback of this giant catapult, in front of such a large army, the thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiamengguan will never dare to kill easily, especially to kill three or five hundred steps away, to kill in the Guanlong army array.

Therefore, they can calmly adjust the arrangement this time, and use this to put pressure on the defenders of Zuguan, while those Vietnamese troops can only watch dryly, waiting for the most worrying moment to come.

The attacker is the first to attack the heart, Li Wannian even felt that just waiting like this was enough to destroy the faith of too many defenders!

He even saw the Jiameng Pass in the distance, someone was starting to run wildly, and the figure kept shaking, as if they were throwing something out of the wall - what is this, they were so panicked that they wanted to directly throw the weapons and armor down the gate, indicating surrender?

No!

Soon, he saw clearly that the other party was setting up a rather ordinary-looking shelf outward, and then threw huge pieces of cloth along these shelves, and quickly propped up a huge, cloth-leather "shield" at the front end of the wall and above it.

What is this? Do they think that they can stop the thunderous boulder with this thing?

It's just whimsical, it's a big joke!

In fact, it was not only Li Wannian, but also the tens of thousands of troops around him, that is, the defenders of Guanshang, although they were making defensive arrangements according to the strategy they had set before, their hearts were still full of doubts and worries.

Can these things, made of cow and sheepskin, which look heavier than ordinary clothing, really help the wall block the bombardment of the boulder that looks so powerful?

No one opened their mouths to question, but their demeanor and actions still exposed the doubts in everyone's hearts, which made Gao Jinxian also uneasy for a while, and couldn't help but look at the man next to him: "Sun ...... Master Sun, are you really sure of this plan?"

Sun Ning sighed and looked at the other party: "Besides, does the general have a better countermeasure?"

They arrived at Jiameng Pass two days ago after passing the pass, and the defenders were really startled at that time, and almost caused a big mess in the pass.

Fortunately, soon, Sun Ning and the others revealed their identities, not only took out the handwritten letter of Zhang Yanlang, the Taishou of Langzhou, but also the waist card of the Wuyi Division that Sun Ning and the others carried. This made the officers and men believe that they were their own people and welcomed them in.

And those who entered Jiameng Pass with Sun Ning and them also had more than a dozen heads of Guan Long Haojie.

When the Guanzhong guards learned that they were coming from the Eagle Head Peak on the other side, and that they had intercepted and killed dozens of Guanlong masters who were about to appear behind them, everyone was terrified.

Because Gao Jinxian and the others knew that their home was really completely relaxed towards the rear, as long as the enemy bypassed the almost forgotten sheep's horn road and suddenly climbed the pass at night, the consequences would be extremely terrible.

At that time, Gao Jinxian only felt a chill in his back, and solemnly asked Sun Ning again and again

They thanked them, saying that they were the saviors of Jia Mengguan, and naturally they also respected them.

Soon, however, Gao Jinxian and his generals refocused their attention on the movement of the enemy in front of them.

Because judging from the enemy's various movements, they must be brewing a larger offensive, so as to achieve the effect of cooperating with the men and horses attacking from the rear.

Although they have no worries now, the strongest offensive of the frontal enemy still makes people dare not be careless, especially the catapult with incredible destructive power.

Sun Ning learned of their concerns, especially the threat of large stone bombs to the wall, and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"Boulder bombardment is naturally devastating to the walls, but they are not completely out of the question. Has the general ever heard of Roucokgang?"

"Softness overcomes rigidity?" Gao Jinxian groaned for a while, and he somewhat understood what Sun Ning's idea was.

And Sun Ning also took advantage of the situation to put forward his own idea, and put together a batch of cow and sheepskin hoarded in Jiameng Pass to make warm clothes after simple nitrate, and then put it together a few feet away from the wall.

In the absence of other better countermeasures, Gao Jinxian could only adopt Sun Ning's suggestion, after all, the other party had helped them a lot before.

Of course, in the end, it all depends on the final result.

And now, it is the last moment to test whether Sun Ning's strategy is feasible.

According to Sun Ning's intentions, the soldiers had already poured out the huge cow and sheep skins, covering almost the entire wall.

In this way, nothing else can be seen, but the biggest problem is revealed - it is difficult for the defenders to see the movement of the enemy troops on the opposite side. If this doesn't work, the next battle will be really difficult to fight.

But now, Gao Jinxian has no better choice, he can only go all the way to the dark, I believe that this Wuyi Si spy named Sun Fei can bring him a bigger surprise.

Not far away, more than a dozen Sichuan and Shu heroes who came with Sun Ning also looked ahead with apprehension, and their feelings were quite complicated.

Among them, the most worrying one is naturally Tang Feng.

He really didn't expect that this Sun Fei still had such a mind, if he really succeeded, he would regret it. I knew that I should have taken advantage of the chaos on the mountain at that time to get rid of this person.

It was only because he was afraid of being exposed that he held back. But this price is not small.

Just when everyone was waiting for the result to appear with mixed emotions at the gate, in front of the enemy army in front, with the bursts of force and shouting, all the stone throwers suddenly sank, and then the large and huge stones in the net pocket behind them rose up and roared!
