Chapter Forty-Eight: Breaking the Heavenly Barrier
Thank you for the tip of the most handsome star book friend in the night sky......
Although the ban on this day is strong, it is like being forbidden by heaven. However, the castle was built too old. I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that he still had such a powerful weapon in his hands.
Seeing that above the castle, there were only arrow and disc battlements between the places, and the city wall was high enough. Can be protected against arrows.
But there's no protection on top!
If the arrow is thrown, after shooting it at such a high distance, the damage force will be greatly weakened, and it will not be too big in the first place. But what if there is a more powerful weapon?
Thinking of this, he sneered even more.
Originally, it was just a feint, but it had to create some pressure on Guancheng, otherwise wouldn't it become a joke? So Fan Yi also brought a full set of siege weapons.
"Get on the thunderbolt!" Fan Yi ordered.
In a short time, horse-drawn carts arrived, and all kinds of large parts began to be assembled, and soon a huge trebuchet was formed, more than twenty meters high.
Seeing such a scene, the witches guarding the city were obviously a little anxious. Naturally, they had all seen trebuchets, but trebuchets were too cumbersome to carry over long distances, and they were often made improvised by cutting timber locally during sieges.
However, like Fan Yijun, I have never seen one that can be assembled with standard parts. What's more, this trebuchet is very different from the ones placed on the castle.
"It seems to be in the hands of the Golden Wolf King, God Cannon!" a witch man recognized it and cried out in panic.
Legend has it that the Golden Wolf King has been invincible since he received the divine revelation of the Great Light God. Invincible. In addition to the cavalry under his command, there is also one thing that is according to the divine revelation of the Great Light God. A special trebuchet is called the God Cannon.
This trebuchet has almost twice as long range as a regular trebuchet. What's more, this trebuchet is capable of throwing meteor fireballs.
During the siege or war, these divine cannons are launched, like countless meteor fires raining down. There are no more cities and no enemies to hold onto.
However, this kind of divine artillery is the top secret of the Golden Wolf King, and even the Golden Wolf King can't grasp it, and it is secretly controlled by the witch herds of the Great Light God. There is not a single body in this black wolf royal court, and it is difficult to even see it.
"Don't let them attack!" the witch general exclaimed in horror, "Where are the trebuchets in the city......?
The trebuchet at the head of the city began to kick in, pulling the long one. Dozens of people pulled dozens of leather cords made from animal tendons, and then threw stone projectiles.
The stone projectile flew in mid-air with a strange trajectory, and then smashed on the mountain wall, sparkling and rolling down, and it was still 108,000 miles away from Da Chu's army......
Fan Yi saw it, didn't raise his eyebrows, and shouted: "Go on......"
Conventional trebuchets use the ejection method to emit stone projectiles. However, dozens of pisos pulled, in fact, everyone exerted uneven force, and most of the force was offset by breathing.
Let such trebuchets not only have a limited range, but also do not have the slightest ballistic. Stones can only fly around, and it is all up to luck to hit.
The counterweight trebuchet, on the other hand, uses the principle of leverage. Rely on the force of falling heavy objects. Throw the stone projectile. Then calculate the weight of the weight, and then add or subtract it. It is even possible to roughly calculate the distance and angle of the throw......
It's so much more powerful!
Moreover, Fan Yi designed the trebuchet. It can also be used to assemble and prevent disassembly and taking away, which makes it even more precautionary. It can even be said that the power is even stronger than that of today's artillery.
It's just that Fan Yi is clear. Artillery is the direction of future development, without which the power of artillery can continue to be strengthened. And with the power of this trebuchet, there is not much room for improvement.
In less than two hours, a few thunderbolts were assembled. Rise tall.
Those witch generals, the more they looked at this thing, the more it looked like the divine cannon, and they were all shocked, thinking that countless meteor fireballs smashed down, enveloping the entire Heavenly Forbidden Pass in flames. It's just a chill.
"Maybe it's not a god cannon, it's just a little bit like it...... a witch general comforted, "After all, the god cannon is the treasure of the Golden Wolf King......
Even though they said that, everyone was still a little nervous. The more they look at this thing, the more it looks, but the order of the Black Wolf King to protect the heavens and forbidden the sky also makes them dare not escape.
For a while, everyone's hearts were churning. For a while, I prayed to the Great Light God, hoping that this would not be some divine artillery. My heart was tormented.
However, it seemed that Fan Yi knew their feelings. said, "It's not early. That's all for today, set up camp, and attack the city tomorrow!"
The army has the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, although the long and narrow ancient roads are not suitable for camping. But the army obeyed. Quickly began to cut down the surrounding trees, and erected a wooden wall in front of it to prevent the enemy in the middle of the night from sneaking up on the city.
One qiē is well prepared, and does not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. The ability to set up camp is the basic skill of a general. Rely on various terrains to set up camp, so that it is convenient and safe, and so on.
This is the most important place to embody a soldier leader, so Sima Yi in the other world saw the traces of the camp left by Zhuge Kongming, and sighed: The genius of the world!
This Momotani Road is long and narrow, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But on the other hand, it is difficult to attack the enemy in the fortress. Coupled with the fact that Fan Yi's camp is very ten, there is no chance to take advantage of it.
The sorcerers at the head of the city were also preparing to see if they could attack the camp in the middle of the night and burn the trebuchets. But just by taking a second look, I knew that there was no chance.
This night, Fan Yi's army slept soundly. And the sorcerer general who guarded the pass tossed and turned all night, and he couldn't sleep because he was worried.
The next morning, the sorcerer had just fallen asleep in a blur when he was woken up. When I came to Guancheng, I saw that the Great Chu army was already cooking a fire and preparing to eat the siege.
After being tortured all night, now I see that the enemy army is about to attack the city. The conclusion of whether it is a god artillery or not will be revealed soon. In short, this qiē even gave the sorcerer general a sense of relief. He reckoned to torture like this again. My own family can even be tortured to death by such suspense.
Even if it's really a god artillery, grandma's. I admit it too!
Just thought so, but those Great Chu troops were unhurriedly cooking on the fire and eating slowly. After more than an hour, seeing that the sun had risen, he began to attack the city in a hurry.
"Not a god artillery ......"
The stone bullet flew over, and the witch general's hanging heart finally relaxed, and great joy rose in his heart.
I'll just say, the god cannon is the treasure of the Golden Wolf King, where will these southern barbarians learn it. Something that even the Black Wolf King didn't know......
However. He was happy a little early. It's not a god cannon, but it's a thunderbolt.
The stone bullet suddenly exploded in mid-air, splitting into dozens of fist-sized stones, and then enveloped them.
For a while, the soldiers standing at the head of the city had more than a dozen smashed flesh and blood.
The witch general didn't expect this, and was originally aiming at his surroundings. A fist laughed and the stone smashed on him.
Even with thick iron armor. However, it could not resist the huge kinetic energy brought by the ejected stone.
With a scream, half of his arms were smashed and flew out. There was chaos in the city. Three thunderbolts fired at the same time, enveloping almost the entire city in a rain of stones.
Dozens of people were killed and wounded immediately, and the other soldiers and horses defending the city cried and called for their mothers, and fled towards the city. Dodge.
Fan Yi smiled faintly, in fact, speaking of which, this kind of stone bullet separation. Actually, it's not a sophisticated technology. It's just a few dozen stones wrapped in rattan nets.
Flying into the air, the rattan net opened. And the stones flew all over the sky. Although he was not able to successfully separate in mid-air every time, he had enough skills. Out of ten, five or six times can be separated, but it is enough......
It's a bit of a shame to say, after all, this ancient road is too narrow, and there is no place for more trebuchets at all. It can only be lined up in a row of three planes in front and back, and if it is close, I am afraid that it will be counterattacked by the city. If it's too far, it's out of range.
Fortunately, Fan Yi also has artillery with him!
The sound of "boom......" landslide, the response of the earthquakes of the mountains, in this ancient road, the sound even became even louder, and the eardrums of people who continued to reverberate and tremble were painful.
These cannons are not even as lethal as thunderbolts, but they are much more dynamic. A huge buckshot hit the city wall, causing the entire city wall to shake, and a large stone collapsed with a bang, revealing the rammed earth inside.
"This day, the ban is really in disrepair!" Fan Yi continued to sneer.
At such times, the walls were almost entirely made of rammed earth. Only the most important city walls, such as the Heavenly Forbidden Pass, and places like Los Angeles and Xian'an, are inlaid with blue bricks on the rammed earth exterior walls.
However, it has been 500 years since the unification of Dayu on this day. In the era of great unification, the ban on this day was inland, so naturally it would not pay too much attention to repair. It's like that Yanshan Pass.
And those Western witches are not good at defending the city at all. At first, even Xian'an refused to defend it, let alone ban it on this day! Naturally, it would not be repaired much.
Seeing the shells bombarding it, it really collapsed a large area, not only the bricks on the outside, but even the rammed earth inside collapsed a large area.
Seeing such a scene, these witches guarding the city were terrified for a while. For the first time, I felt that this tall and strong city wall could no longer guarantee their safety.
It was as if it was the roar of the gods, ready to bring down the walls entirely.
Fan Yi smiled with satisfaction, and the morale above the city really fell below half.
These cannons are not as powerful as trebuchets, but they are far more powerful than scare!
The range of these guns far exceeds that of trebuchets, and even the rate of fire is somewhat better. After a few rounds of bombardment, Fan Yi saw that the morale of the city was red and white, but he was in a trance.
"Very good," Fan Yi was overjoyed when he saw the morale of the Heavenly Forbidden Pass. As long as the morale of the forbidden gate on this day falls to all white qi, at that time, a fierce attack may be able to take it down.
It's just that this offensive must be fierce, and Mount Tai is overwhelming. Completely destroy the morale of the enemy.
Otherwise, as long as the enemy comes to his senses and resists by defending the city. Wait for them to find that the enemy can't attack at all, and then find out that these cannons are just bluffing, and find a way to deal with trebuchets. At that time, it was not so easy to break the city again!
"Keep throwing stones!" Fan Yi did not take advantage of the situation to let the soldiers attack the city. The order was given to continue throwing stones.
Wait, the time to attack. This time, Fan Yi had already made a bloody plan, and even sent his own personal guards.
I am ready and will never waste this opportunity!
Fan Yi has never been a person who is willing to put success or failure on others so much, especially this time, it is so important!
If there was no news from the White Wolf King, Fan Yi might be able to wait for the movement on Xian'an's side. But since there was danger on the Chengzhou side, Fan Yi couldn't sit still.
Although the environment of the snowy plateau is treacherous, and when you climb over to the territory of the Poor Qi Wu Clan, it is also full of poor mountains and bad waters, and dense forests and miasma. Fan Yi even left two armies, Shen Tuhu and Wu Lu, with a total of 30,000 horses to guard up.
And Zhai Leng sat in Chengzhou, and he was able to mobilize more than 100,000 government soldiers.
However, the situation is still very dangerous, indicating that the strategic focus of the Witches has shifted to Middle-earth.
Fan Yi wanted to completely unify Middle-earth before the army of the Golden Wolf King completely wiped out the Sassanids and moved his troops to Middle-earth.
At that time, according to Lingzhou, Lingzhou will be the front-line base to keep the enemy out of the country. Fight a war of attrition with the Western Wicans!
Then, with the huge manpower and material resources of Middle-earth, and the strict and efficient organization of the army, he fought a war against the Western witches for national strength.
It's like another world, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dragged down the Xiongnu, completely dragging down the Western witches.
In fact, just like the Ming Dynasty back then, the initial strategy to deal with Jianyu was very effective. Defend tightly, so that the enemy has no captivity, and finally consume the prisoners.
It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan, who is ambitious and talented, has ruined the overall situation.
Some people feel that there is some secret discussion between Yuan and Huang Taiji, and there are many traitors. Fan Yi didn't believe much in these things. But he felt that Yuan was a scholar and deceived the world, but in fact, he was just ambitious and talented.
It can be said that a large part of the overall situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was bad in its hands. Liaodong Jiangmen cannot be copied, and since then, it has been big, and a large part of it is also the result of its lack of control!
History is the best mirror, and from the history of another world, we can also see the current events of the present world.
In fact, in order to replicate the strategy for Tibet after the middle of the Tang Dynasty. This Lingqin Erzhou must be taken.
Then drain the enemy's strength in the defense, and it is better to start a counterattack and fight for the kingdoms of the Western Regions......
This series of strategies is based on taking the Heavenly Forbidden Pass in front of you first. (To be continued......)
