Chapter 5 Artillery support

On the evening of the fourth day, nearly 50,000 Shaolin players withdrew to Xiangyang. In the early morning of the fifth day, the Mongol army finally approached the city, and the incoming army set up a defensive posture a mile away from the south gate, and there was no sign of attack. At noon, it was time for a million men and horses to set up a defensive position at the west gate, and the raising of the banner was the contempt of the Seventh Army... It was early the next morning. The Eighth Army Subutai and the Ninth Army Chagatai both arrived five miles away from Xiangyang to reorganize their troops and prepare for the attack. Except for the mine-towing units of the 10th Army, all the Mongolian troops participating in the war were considered to have arrived.

The siege equipment of the Mongol army is also being transported from the town of 171. There are ladder trucks for sale over there. This car is very different from the bamboo ladder that everyone watches on TV, with wheels under it, which can be pushed to drive, equipped with shields, winks, grappling hooks and other appliances, and some even have lifting equipment with pulleys. After a while, there was good and bad news from the ten major command centers, and the good news was that the maximum number of enemy ladders was 10,000, and they could not be repaired if they were broken. The bad news is that this car can not only siege the city, but can also be used as an arrow tower a hundred meters away.

The second weapon is a wooden cart with metal protection on the top, and a four-wheeled wooden cart with a large log with a diameter of one meter fixed underneath. As long as there are eight people, the cart can be pushed as fast as possible, slamming into the gates or ramming the walls.

The third weapon is, of course, an infinite supply of ropes and a five-meter-long bamboo ladder.

Cannon Tianming, Wushuangyu, Che, Ainannan, Misty Flowers, and True Men are all mixed together in the city wall from the south gate to the north gate to watch this rare majestic scene. The black oppressive crowd is invisible, and there is no edge in sight on the plain. And Xiangyang is also crowded with people, and the city wall is full of people. After Wushuang Yu and Zhenhan killed four people in a row, no one squeezed up their positions in Pao Tianming. The six people also have a more comfortable environment to watch. After a while, Jian Qin received the news and came over. Thunderbolt was killed, and Xiao Er joined the commando team and was on the road. A few friends who can get together are basically together, and after a while, the car, the Matchless Fish and the love girl leave their positions and take refuge in a safe position.

"When do you think they're going to attack?" Misty Flower asked.

"It's coming!" Tang Tang also came to the middle of them, saw everyone's surprised eyes, and explained: "Now the staff officer is useless. Alas! I'm just worried that it's so crowded. People shoot blindly and basically knock out. ”

"So you're here?" Pao Tianming and the others were within a dozen meters, just a few of them. "Can you hold it?"

"Can't hold it! We can only drag on for now. An extra day will give them one less day to clean up the gang. It turned out that the comparison of manpower was relatively easy, but unfortunately the 10,000 ladders completely changed the situation. The players were not united, and none of them bought heavy weapons, only the Blood Shadow had ten bed crossbows, and Caiyunfei was equipped with five thunderbolts. What can this thing do? ”

"Players are not players if they work together. Even in the army, there are not many deserters. I don't mean soldiers. Pao Tianming said lightly.

"I know you have a prejudice against me, but don't beat me to death. Let's get down to business, do you know Mozi? The Mohists recorded a lot of military books on defense and defense, but unfortunately the materials were limited. I can't even get my hands on it. However, I have found a way to break some of the ladders, and I hope you can do me a favor. ”

"Digging tunnels?" Misty Flower asked in surprise.

"It's called a cave attack. I found a player who learned how to dig tunnels in Huahegen, and he has dug 400 meters of tunnels and prepared 4 branches, covering the south, west, and north gates. I have prepared for you four people, ten sets of 999 Molotov cocktails each. When the enemy pushes out the ladder, you jump out and burn the cart. The ladder is heavy, but the guards and the enemy will be quite numerous, but they will not fire arrows at you. With the four of you. It should be possible to hold on for more than an hour. Burn the ladder while holding on..."

"Wait!" Pao Tianming stopped Tang Tang from going on: "You told the four of us to die?" It's going to be downgraded! The four of us will find a better location together, and in my opinion, it is not impossible to survive. Besides, there must be a reason why you let us die. Don't say anything heroic... At least I'm not rare. ”

Jian Qin thought about it and said, "I'll do it!" ”

The misty flower and the real man also nodded in agreement, looking like a strong man.

Pao Tianming sighed: "It seems that my thinking can't keep up with the times." Forget it, I'll go! Tang Tang was about to send a message to Pao Tianming to explain his behavior, but he didn't think that Pao Tianming had moved his name to the blacklist. Pao Tianming was really angry, Tang Tang seemed to be a different person, he understood that this might be a sense of responsibility cultivated in the army, but except for the real man, the other three people here can be said to be her better friends.

"What are you doing?" Tang Tang asked directly.

"What am I doing? I'll just ask you a few questions. You've been digging tunnels before. But why don't you come out to speak when there are no double fishes, phoenixes and love girls? Why do you want to tell us that we don't have your staff now? Why are you able to get supplies ready so quickly? Why just prepare four sets? Why do we have to be? ”

"Because... Because I think it's a real war. As you know, the biggest difference between ancient warfare and modern warfare is that the weapons are different, but the control of manpower, reconnaissance, tactics, the greatest victory with the least sacrifice and so on have not changed, and the domination of manpower is not only trust but also means, and the means are always simpler and more practical than trust. I... I... Whining! Tang Tang squatted on the ground and cried.

Option 1: Go to comfort her, then reflect deeply, then hug, eat some tofu by the way, and go to the prison cell to fall in love.

Option 2: Continue with the hard cap. With ideas such as friendship, she was hit incompletely. Then let them voluntarily ask to abandon the plan.

Option 3: Still lukewarm, let others comfort you, and be silent to express your lack of opinion.

If Pao Tianming wasn't so afraid of Tang Tang's words, he would choose one. If Pao Tianming was a brute, he would choose two. If he's not angry right now, he'll pick three. As a result, he chose four: "I'll go for a walk, and call me when the time comes!" ”

An hour later, the sound of shaking was already heard. It is undeniable that the quality of the schools in the disaster area is not as good as the quality of the schools dug in the disaster area. Not to mention the comparison with government buildings. After a few shakes, the soil fell downwards with a clatter. The cannon is calculated, even if the vibration is not too big. If you continue to shake like this for a few more minutes, you will have to be buried alive. It could be seen that today was not the day of the live burial, and half a minute later, the sound of a row of squeaky wooden wheels was heard. After waiting for another half a minute, Pao Tianming jumped up. Straight through the turf. He had to come out a little earlier to avoid a black comedy like hitting the wheels. Watching others is a comedy, but watching yourself is a tragedy.

At the same time as Cannon Tianming jumped up, a ladder cart was one meter away from him, and there were eight people pushing the cart, and there were four archers on top of the eight meters high. There is also a centurion next to him. Before the NPC soldiers could react, they were directly put down. Pao Tianming slapped his feet on the small platform. It was easy to tackle four more archers. Then throw out three Molotov cocktails to get one. The distance of the next one was not far, only ten meters away, and the archers on top had already shot arrows. But the four arrows are not much of a threat even to ordinary players, and the cannon will kill people and burn cars in the morning. It's also very easy...

It wasn't until the fifth part that a trumpet sounded five hundred meters away, and nearly a thousand cavalry rushed towards him. Pao Tianming hurriedly stopped the rhythm of killing and concentrated on fighting. Qianqi had no choice but to put away his bow and draw his sword. After their calculations, killing a player and losing 15 soldiers is very uneconomical. If it's 9 in exchange, it's worth it.

Thousands of horsemen can only dismount and fight on foot, there is no way. Unless you want to hit the ladder. In this way, there are only nine actual combatants, and the outlying areas can only serve as spectators and backups. This is also the best way for players to deal with the enemy, you have me, I have you, as long as the bow does not exert force, you can still hold on. But if he is surrounded by 9 captains, even if he canopy Tianming, there is no other way than to flash people.

Pao Tianming guarded the No. 5 ladder for a while, and only evacuated from the air after the system determined that it could not be repaired. The damage to the ladder was not entirely caused by fire, but the NPC knives were also responsible for its destruction. When Cannon Tianming arrived at the tenth ladder car, he noticed a red cloud rushing out from a mile away. Straight to himself. It is his acquaintance, King Jinlun. Pao Tianming hurriedly shouted: "Hey, someone is going to attack your handsome, go back and save the driver." ”

"He has been killed on the spot, thief, just take him!"

"Impossible! Then why did you come here so quickly. ”

"It's just Han water, and Lao Na can just think about it. Cannon Tianming cried, and hurriedly got out of the formation and ran wildly. The Golden Wheel was in hot pursuit from a hundred meters away. Pao Tianming saw that the speed couldn't catch up with him, and he was not in a hurry at the moment, so he smashed a few Molotov cocktails out every time he passed by a car. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, there was still 20% damage.

Pao Tianming took the Golden Wheel Dharma King to play outside the South Gate when he was on the head. Only five shrill whistling sounds were heard coming from behind the southern city wall. When Pao Tianming saw it, he almost lost his soul. Five boulders of 300 catties roared, and the formation of a formation is really called lewdness, like plum blossoms, directly covering their own area of more than 100 square meters. Of course, the plum blossom core is naturally itself. The cannon screamed. Ten percent of the internal force is sent out. Reluctantly ran out. The boulder smashed into the ground, and the cheap sand and gravel made him accept the slight injury. It's too late to drink first, so I directly sent a group message first: "Ya! Cut down the five thunderbolts at the south gate, especially the command direction. ”

The NPCs also seem to have received the news of the cannon sky. A number of ladders are approaching its location. At this moment, the command flag of the Mongolian Chinese army waved, and all the ladders dispersed and no longer approached the position of the thunderbolt. Pao Tianming took a look at the situation: Could it be that Caiyunfei and Genghis Khan colluded? The next second confirmed his opinion. The 5 boulders are covered with plum blossoms. However, it was obvious that this time he was not accurate, and Pao Tianming was in the plum petals and escaped easily. Then send a group message: "Cut! Whoever it is, cut it into eighteen sections. He had the heart to go back, but he was worried that once he went back, the rest of the sabotage trio would directly become the target of the Golden Wheel Dharma King. The Golden Wheel Dharma King is a high-level NPC, and he immediately understands the situation: there are traitors in the enemy army. So he followed Pao Tianming unhurriedly. He also signaled that all the soldiers and horses in this position were scattered. He threatened: "If you dare to run back, I will go to the west and north gates." ”

No Twin Fish, No Drunk, Che, Ainan, etc. were already at the scene of the accident, and several people were on the city wall holding their chins and watching the busy people under the city wall in a daze. Mushuang Fish sighed and sent a message and asked, "Do you really want to cut it?" “

"It's going to be cut."

After receiving the news, Wushuang Yu said: "Tang Tang, take your life!" ”

Tang Tang didn't know how to do it, jumped on the city wall and pushed away the Wushuang Fish ordered: "12 o'clock direction, 2/3 strength preparation... Put! ”

The four of them watched the stone fly towards the cannon Tianming, and they also estimated the amount in advance. But he saw that Pao Tianming stopped, and ran out of the plum blossom on the left, and at the same time received a message from him: "Don't cut it yet?" If Lao Tzu hadn't left a little light work, he would have turned into mud directly. ”

Tang Tang cried and said: "Why is he fast and slow, how can I measure the data." ”

Several people looked at each other. Wushuang Fish came up with an idea to message Tang Tang: "If you try again, you will set the target on Pao Tianming." ”

"9 o'clock direction, 3/5 strength ready... Put! As soon as the words came out, five stones pounced on the cannon Tianming with plum blossoms, and everyone saw that tears came out. Except for Tang Tang, they all laughed, holding their stomachs one by one. Tang Tang jumped to his feet and cried and asked, "Why doesn't he stop speeding up like this?" ”

The car laughed and cried and replied: "I told him not to run around and to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed." ”

This time, Tang Tang completely listened to the opinions of Wushuangyudi, while Pao Tianming completely listened to Che's opinions. And today is destined to be a day of disaster. When the boulder fell, Pao Tianming stopped urgently and shrunk himself into a tall bamboo pole. Trying to take advantage of the gap in the plum blossom to dodge. Although the plum petals designed by Tang Tang are masked, they can't stand the slender figure of Pao Tianming. Leng was standing firmly in the middle of the two stones.

But Pao Tianming obviously underestimated the sequelae of the boulder hitting the ground. He slammed his feet to leave, but fell to the ground. Busy checking the system, seriously injured, left leg crippled. Seeing that the Golden Wheel Dharma King was approaching, Pao Tianming hurriedly sent a message: Don't cut it! Leave it to me to do him back to level 10.
