first-class champion

And building a low and thick barrier-style fortification to deploy powerful counterattack weapons can suppress the enemy's attack from the very beginning, and it is a counterattack without leaving any dead ends. Its effectiveness will be higher than that of traditional city buildings. , it also has an important advantage that the old-fashioned fortifications are far inferior to, that is, it is difficult for the enemy to dig tunnels under the city wall and make it collapse, "

Master Yang said enthusiastically: "We are now on the offensive side, and we don't need this knowledge for the time being. You can first learn about the manufacture of offensive equipment and the scientific design and excavation of offensive channels. How about this, I will take you to see it later. The siege cannon we've built,'

Master Yang was drooling, and then saw that Guo Sheng had come to the tent at some time, and knowing his purpose, he said, "General Guo is here too, so let's go and see how the siege equipment is."

"This general has exactly the intention, Master Yang, please,"

"How dare, how dare, General Guo please,"

"Then you're welcome..."

Although several apprentices followed him in and out as Master Yang's disciples, and went to the craftsman camp several times, they all went to the tents of scholars, and all they saw were piles of blueprints and messy models , unable to produce an intuitive impression, but this time, Master Yang took him to the storage site of the completed weapons while taking advantage of the interest.

Giant trebuchets, ballistas, battering rams, excavation equipment for tunnel operations... all kinds of weapons for tackling tough problems are available in a dazzling array.

"This is a light cannon, this is a heavy cannon, oh, there is a medium-sized rapid-fire cannon, generally speaking, various cannons can only be fired five to six times a day, and this rapid-fire cannon has been continuously developed and improved by us. has achieved thirty shots a day without scrapping,"

Master Yang complacently introduced the terrifying killing weapons to his beloved disciple: "Look, this is a field gun, this is a siege gun, and there are other guns with a caliber of 850 mm and a range of 500 to [-] meters. The main function of the stone cannon is also to attack the city, oh, by the way, look, this is our latest siege cannon, "

Master Yang took a few quick steps, and came to a huge, super-giant stone-shooting cannon that was daunting at first glance. The first thing he saw was not this super-large cannon, but the pile of cannons next to the cannon. Cannonballs, those cannonballs are extremely round polished stone balls. When Liu Yujue took a look at the cannonballs, he gasped and looked at them coldly. That stone ball might weigh a thousand catties.

At this time, one catty was 16 taels. That is to say, according to the calculation of modern people, the weight of this stone ball is about [-] catties. It is too terrifying. If such a shell hits the city wall... , Guo Sheng suddenly thought of what Guo Yixuan said in the bathroom just now, no wonder he dared to boast that the taller the city, the easier it is to be destroyed.

Standing in front of this gigantic monster, Guo Sheng could only touch the mount of the majestic cannon. He stroked the mount and said, "This kind of gun requires two hundred skilled gunners and sixty oxen to draw and use it. You can only fire seven shells a day at most, even so, after a few shots, the cannon will fall apart, but..., what does it matter, hehe, as long as one such giant cannon is enough, it is enough to destroy the strongest wall. Open an irreparable gap in the sky, let our brave soldiers rush to the city, "

Guo Sheng said in surprise, "How can such a giant cannon be transported away?"

Master Yang Xuan said: "The further east you go, the harder it is to get enough materials to build these equipments, so you have to go here to build them well. When the battle starts, the light siege equipment will be carried with the army, and the heavy equipment will be later. But it won't take too long, because these things can be dismantled, we have done tests before, carrying this dismantled heavy siege equipment can travel an average of [-] miles a day, "

Although Guo Sheng has such a skillful craftsman, he doesn't care much about these things on weekdays, and his main energy is spent on how to please the Khitan people, so at this moment, he couldn't help but turn pale with surprise, and said in surprise: "It can be so fast,"

Master Yang said: "How about it, now General Guo has some confidence in attacking Qi County."

Guo Sheng nodded again and again: "That's right, with such sophisticated weapons, Qi County must be no problem,"

The first ray of dawn in the morning shone on the city of Qixian County. Soldiers of the Tang Army rushed to the top of the city after hearing the sound of the horn. Looking at the tens of thousands of troops below the city, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. People form a square team, arranged neatly, and there are very tall siege stone cannons in front of the army.

The city wall of Qixian County is not very high, if you put up a ladder, if you are covered by amazing archery skills, and if there are fewer people in the city, as long as a little bit is breached, it will be over.

Ge Congzhou, who was guarding the city, held two knives in his hands, and said murderously: "Set up the mortar for me, and bombard their stone cannons." Immediately, several soldiers and Min Zhuang ran over to help the gunner adjust the position of the cannon nervously. location.

"Boom..." A few cannons rang out, and the stone cannon that Master Yang was so proud of disappeared into nothingness. Master Yang opened his mouth wide in the back, "Grandma's leg, what kind of guy is this, so powerful.

A few mortar shells also affected the siege squadron, but fortunately the range of the mortars was limited, so the impact was not too great. Guo Sheng's face turned cold, "First squadron, charge me!" The Khitan Han soldiers carried the ladders and followed behind and began to move forward. Seen from the city, it looked like a dark cloud covering the snow.

"Boom," more than a dozen cannons rang, and the 1th square team was bombarded by mortars. Only a few people carried the ladder and advanced hundreds of steps, and then the overwhelming crossbow So a powerful crossbow was fired, and just like that, the entire first team was wiped out.

Guo Sheng's scalp began to tingle, 1 people, a full 1 people died without even touching the city wall. Of course, hundreds of people who escaped back were all beheaded by Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng's heart was full of bad water, and he said for a moment: "Come here, bring me the villagers who were arrested a few days ago."

The sun has risen high, but it is shining everywhere with the cold light of swords and guns.

Guo Sheng's second team started to attack, and Ge Congzhou pointed at the front with a knife and shouted: "Quick, blow up the row of ladders in front of me."

The attacking formation on the other side was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers lying in front with their bows and arrows suddenly shouted: "My lord, our people are in front, they... Tartar they captured the people and stood in front,"

"Well," Ge Cong rushed to the front on Monday, leaning on the wall and looking down. At this time, the second wave of siege team was getting closer, and it was clear that there were 800 men and women standing in the front. There are women, old and young, all in Han costumes, Ge Congzhou is also stupid now,
