Chapter Seventy-Two: The Arrival of the Korean Army
"You call this a catapult?"
Zhao Kuo looked at the twenty catapults of different sizes and shapes in front of him, with a concave and convex top, and even the bark had not been scraped clean, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
Then he looked at Jin Contempt with a suspicious gaze, "Built according to the drawings I gave you?" ”
"Marshal, I ordered the craftsmen to build it according to the drawings." Jin said with some embarrassment.
Zhao Kuo instantly doubted that life was born, Nima himself gave Wei Jun and Mo Feng were obviously the same drawings, and the catapult created by Mo Feng was like carved out of a mold, and it was laid out in one word, which was called a shock.
And the twenty catapults built by the Wei army did not have a single duplicate!
I have to admit that this is also a kind of ability!
"Well, why don't you try to use it first, as long as you can use it, whether it looks good or not is secondary." Wei Wuji was playing a round next to him, he was a pragmatist.
"Alright, alright." Zhao Kuo waved his hand helplessly, "Just listen to Lingjun and give me a bang." ”
"No." Jin Wei beckoned excitedly: "Brothers, give me a stone." ”
He had suffered the loss of the catapult of the Qin State before, and now he also has the catapult, so if he doesn't vent well, he is sorry for the sins that the Qin State once made.
A group of strong soldiers struggled to lower the catapult arm, and a few strong men lifted a stone the size of a millstone and threw it into the basket.
Zhao Kuo looked at the unfamiliar movements of the soldiers, and then looked at the rough workmanship of the catapult, a bad feeling suddenly came to his heart, and he hurriedly retreated dozens of steps, and then he was relieved.
"Put!"
With Jin Contempt's order, thousands of strong soldiers let go at the same time, and twenty stones flew out like cannonballs.
Immediately afterward, only a "click" was heard, and the arms of three of the catapults broke in an instant, and the stones fell from mid-air and smashed deep into the earth, almost killing the soldiers operating the catapults.
There were a few catapults left that broke because the ropes were not strong enough, causing the stones to fall; The strength was not enough, so it fell off before it could fly to the city wall; The direction was not corrected, and it smashed into the Yellow River next to it, splashing a large string of water.
In short, it was smashed everywhere.
If it weren't for Zhao Kuo retreating dozens of steps in time, he suspected that he might have been smashed.
"This Nima, just how many heads the Wei army puts in the Qin State are not enough to cut off."
For the first time, Zhao Kuo felt that Qin Fa was really a good thing, and he should let these old six people of Wei State taste the taste of Qin Fa, and they would not dare to be so foolish in the future.
Fortunately, the twenty catapults were not completely destroyed, and four more stones hit the city wall, and even one stone hit the Qin soldiers.
The whole person was hit by a boulder of hundreds of catties, and was instantly blasted into pulp, and then deeply embedded in the city wall with the stone......
The whole scene was simply miserable.
Zhao Kuo can be regarded as having seen a big scene, and he almost couldn't help but vomit, and immediately turned around and walked towards the camp.
Jin looked at Wei Wuji, and Wei Wuji waved his hand: If you mess up, solve it yourself.
Seven of the twenty catapults were scrapped the first time they were used, and only four of them reached the city wall, so Wei Wuji didn't plan to defend this group of people anyway.
"General, general, cough cough, although the quality of these catapults is a little problematic, as long as they hit, the effect is still very significant, it is better to cough ......" Jin Yan hurriedly chased after him, and said with some embarrassment.
"Ordered to continue building, and by tomorrow I will see two hundred catapults, and I will smash them day and night." Zhao Kuo said.
Catapults did little damage to the rammed earth and stone walls, and the pits they smashed were sometimes not enough for the defenders to repair.
Now what Zhao Kuo has to do is to make the defenders have no way to repair it.
Two hundred catapults, even if only a tenth hit, is terrible.
Seeing that his companions were smashed into pulp and embedded in the city wall, Zhao Kuo didn't believe that these Qin soldiers could still fight normally.
"No, don't worry, general, it will definitely not be like this next time." Jin Yan hurriedly patted his chest and promised, as long as he didn't pursue it.
"Next time? Hehe! All the craftsmen are numbered in groups, and each catapult is engraved with the number of the corresponding group. The group of catapults with a damage rate of more than 10% after the first use was executed by all the craftsmen in the group. ”
Zhao Kuo said murderously.
He doesn't believe that he can't cure these people!
Since then, the Wei army has not seen a single catapult damaged in its first use.
"General, the 100,000 troops of South Korea have arrived ten miles away."
Not long after returning to the camp, Liu Ping walked in to report.
Zhao Kuo hurriedly got up: "Gather all the generals in the army and follow me to greet you." ”
The Korean army is finally here! The strength of the coalition forces has increased by half again!
Zhao Kuo didn't bring many people, only a thousand soldiers and some major generals, after all, the Korean army was not an enemy army.
Jin contempt stayed in the camp to prevent the Qin army from sneaking attack. In this military system in ancient times, if there was no commander in the army, 100,000 people might not be able to defeat even 1,000 enemies.
Not long after, a row of dense black dots appeared on the horizon, and then got closer and closer, revealing the true face of the Korean army. The steps were neat and imposing, and each soldier carried a bow and crossbow on his back.
"At the forefront are the strong crossbowmen of South Korea, the most elite legion in South Korea, with a full strength of 5,000 people. However, these are all just formed in recent years, and there is still a long way to go before the soul of the army is condensed. Wei Wuji pointed at Han Jun and said.
The strong crossbowmen of Korea, like the Wei warriors of the Wei State, were completely annihilated by Bai Qi as early as the Battle of Yique, and the current army has only inherited the name of its ancestors.
"It's really an elite, but it's a pity that it lacks murderous energy." Zhao Kuo commented.
He can be said to have experienced several major battles, and his vision is no longer what it used to be, and the strength of the army can naturally be seen at a glance.
The quality of these strong crossbowmen has obviously surpassed most of the elites, and even Zhao Kuo can see that most of the soldiers in them have internal qi, but they still lack the training of life and death.
Without going through the trials of life and death, it is impossible to form a real elite.
The Han army seemed to see Zhao Kuo and the others, a chariot galloped from the rear of the Han army, and when it arrived not far from the Wei army, the chariot stopped, and a veteran got off the chariot and strode towards Zhao Kuo and the others.
Zhao Kuo and his entourage also hurriedly greeted him.
"Storm Kite has seen the general." The veteran clenched his fists and said.
Although he has never met Zhao Kuo, only Zhao Kuo is the only one who can stand at the forefront at such a young age in the entire coalition army.
"General, follow me into the camp quickly." Zhao Kuo hurriedly helped the violent kite up.
Storm Duck is older than Lian Po, and he can be Zhao Kuo's grandfather, but Zhao Kuo doesn't dare to let him salute.
"Marshal, please." Storm Kite said, without the slightest arrogance.
Entering the camp, Zhao Kuo sat in the first place, and the generals of Han and Wei sat on both sides.
According to the rules, the violent kite handed over the Han Jun Tiger Talisman to Zhao Kuo.
Although Zhao Kuo had obtained the seal of the Korean general before, it was only in name, and he had to have a tiger charm to justifiably mobilize the 100,000 troops of South Korea.
"Now that the Korean army has arrived, then the two sides will take turns to attack Hangu Pass, no problem." Zhao Kuo looked left and right.
"No problem." Wei Wuji and Storm Kite nodded.
