Chapter 358: Ant Attachment Siege City
Although a large number of ballistae were prepared on the city wall of Haiyang City, Hu Biao and they also prepared a trebuchet, in order to deal with such a situation. Diaphragm
They were all processed by three people, Wolf Qing, Lao Tie, and Lao Tie, with some carpenters and blacksmiths in the city.
As some modern people, it is naturally impossible to make such an old antique as a single cannon, and the Western-style torsion trebuchet is their choice.
The only problem is that due to the limitations of materials such as beef tendon, a total of six units have been produced.
After it was made, two were placed on the north and south walls, and only one was placed on the east and west walls without gates.
In the previous time, it was all covered with an oilcloth.
It's a little less numerous, but it doesn't matter? If a group of netizens say that compared with the ancients in terms of poetry and songs, they are basically at the level of scum.
But when it comes to the mathematics of ballistic calculations, it is definitely more than 99% of the ancients. Diaphragm
So, they can play more accurately.
Besides, don't they still have ballistas? This thing can also play a part in the next battle.
Or, the ballista they fire may not be able to solve the single cannon, but it can solve the person who uses the single cannon.
In short, under Hu Biao's order, Wolf Qing and the others ran to the trebuchet and the ballista respectively, and suddenly a primitive heavy firepower battle at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty began in such a situation......
"Quick, fast, fast~" I don't care about the recent fire, there have been several fire bubbles at the corners of my mouth, and Lao Tie shouted loudly in his mouth.
Commanding a few of his men, he turned the winch vigorously to level the catapult's throwing rod.
After the throwing rod was flattened and the tendon was tightened, a 30-pound, slightly polished and more rounded stone was put into a large spoon-like bucket. Diaphragm
When everything was ready, he aimed at a single cannon in the direction of 11 o'clock.
Before he had time to shout a 'launch' in his mouth, he hurriedly shouted after seeing another wave of stones beckoning the other party:
"Squat, raise the shield~'
Although the other party's accuracy is a little worse, but in case he is unlucky.
As a result, the most recent stone also fell seven or eight meters away, and it did not pose the slightest threat to their trebuchet operation team.
It's a pity that when the old iron after getting up shouted out the sentence 'launch'.
The 30-pound stone, which was also five or six meters away from the target, smashed into the air. Diaphragm
Fortunately, for such a result, Lao Tie also has some preparations in his heart, and when modern plane artillery fires, he pays attention to a test firing, looks at the landing point and then adjusts it.
After a quick calculation in his brain, he had an idea in his heart, and shouted a new order to his subordinates who were busy loading:
"When winding, don't twist the first half turn, adjust the two scales to the left, and do so."
In the process of shouting, the ballistas around him will also be fired one after another, as long as they hit the target, the operators on the opposite side will be directly put down.
Then, in the midst of the shouting and scolding of the supervising Jurchen soldiers, there were some new surrendered Liao soldiers, who refilled the position full of stumps and broken arms.
Then, the second shot of the stone commanded by Lao Tie was smashed off again.
At this point, Lao Tie was finally a little annoyed, and once again dodged behind a wave of stones on the opposite side; His mouth burst out of the gulp: "Ahh
"Twist the winding a quarter of a turn more, and turn it one scale to the left."
Then, the shot was still missed.
In the end, when the fifth shot of the stone was smashed, this time it finally hit an 11-point direction, and the bar was directly smashed in two by the stone.
After hitting the ground, the stone bounced off the ground and broke the operator's left leg.
It was also from this moment that Lao Tie seemed to have his head opened, constantly directing this trebuchet to fire after constantly adjusting and firing.
Not to mention that every shot must be hit, but in two or three shots, the result of being able to beat the opposite one is already very good.
It's just that Lao Tie, who was in the excitement, didn't notice that in such a process, because he was the most threatening here, the number of stones beckoning to him here was already increasing, and he was getting closer and closer to his position. Diaphragm
In short, when the opposing single cannons were fired in unison again.
Although he also beckoned everyone around him to squat down and raise his shield, he was obviously a little careless.
Then, after a loud bang of the shield above his head, before he could roll to the left and on the spot, a stone fell on his skull.
Although the helmet on his skull was of good quality, it still couldn't withstand such damage.
Anyway, after hearing the cry for help, Ah Li, who ran all the way along the wall and bent over, hurriedly came to Lao Tie's front and back.
Looking at the injuries that seemed to be visible through the wounds of the blood lake after lying on the ground, he sighed in his heart and knew that Lao Tie was hopeless.
At least at the level that she has only learned "Junior Veterinary Specialization" and has learned some on the Internet, she can't be saved. Diaphragm
So she looked at Lao Tie, who refused to swallow her breath, and said in her mouth: "Brother, don't panic, we will resurrect you, this thing will pass as soon as its eyes are opened and closed." ”
But under Ah Li's persuasion, Lao Tie still refused to close his eyes.
For this reason, Ah Li added another sentence: "If you have any last words, you can tell me, I just can't do it, and I will tell Lao Hu to help you do it." ”
After hearing this, Lao Tie's eyes suddenly flashed, and his mouth began to squirm.
Seeing this, Ah Li hurriedly leaned his ear over, and then he could hear a sentence in his ear: "Help tell everyone, the war elephant is mine, and no one can fight with me~"
After that, the thing walked away peacefully.
Ali: "......".
Ignoring Lao Tie's unlucky bastard, as well as his last words, in such a confrontation of primitive heavy firepower, Haiyang City's side won the final victory.
The battle lasted until early 10 a.m. and lasted almost four hours.
After the three double-bow bed crossbows were damaged and more than 30 people were killed, all the numerous single-tip cannons outside the North Gate were damaged, and the Jurchen side suffered more than 400 casualties.
After carefully planning for so long, and deliberately taking his subordinates to watch the battle, it ended up with such an ending.
As if he had been slapped more than a dozen times in public, Wan Yan Lou's face became extremely ugly.
In the end, he shouted to a personal soldier beside him: "Blow the trumpet, let the surrendered Liao army escort the remaining captives, and fill the moat with soil~ The archers cover the mound." ”
I never thought that in Wanyan Lou's room, under such an order. Diaphragm
One of his subordinates replied: "Dashuai, few of the captured people have died." ”
"Then send out cavalry to continue to capture, I must break through this Haiyang City." In the distorted face of Wanyan Lou's room, such a sentence was shouted.
Under such circumstances, this offensive and defensive battle was a relatively easy two days later.
It's back to the old, bloody, ant-attached siege way of fighting.
From this moment on, the soldiers and civilians in Haiyang City began to die one by one, including a group of netizens, Lao Tie was just a beginning.
