Chapter 691 Siege Equipment
The role of the military fortress is still very obvious. Relying on several military fortresses and connecting them with dots, Gurhan's army has built a very solid line of defense, which successfully blocked the attack of the Mengge army. For a fierce general like Xiao Feng, facing the military fortress, there is nothing he can do for a while, and the grassland tribes who don't have any engineering weapons can only fill with human lives!
But until now, it is the last hope for Gu'er Khan's army to build this line of defense. If this line of defense collapses, there will be a flat road behind, and it will no longer be able to stop Brother Meng's army. At that time, we can only rely on Wang Ting made the final struggle, so Gu'er Khan's army also fought hard and vowed not to retreat!

The generals on both sides know that this is a war where you die or you die.Facing the iron wall held by Gu'er Khan's army, Mengge's army continued to attack for several days, but with little effect. Let alone breaking through, even rushing up the city wall became extremely difficult.Zeng Yi and the others did not follow Xiao Feng to take the lead. This kind of siege battle, just their 2000-odd people, is no different from sending them to death, and other players did not participate too much. They have already experienced such siege battles several times, players We also know that participating now is a loss-making business!
Faced with such a situation, the players all knew that they were on Gu'er Khan's side at this time, and it was easier to kill people, so a large number of players chose to rebel and defected to Gu'er Khan's side. Zeng Yi actually wanted to defect to the opposite side. At this moment, it is a lot easier to stand on the opposite side, just stand on the city wall and shoot directly, but as far as the relationship between him and Xiao Feng is concerned, I really dare not do this, if Xiao Feng and the others see it, this relationship will not be good in the future up!

After hanging around with Brother Meng's army for a few days, there was still no progress. That night, Zeng Yi went to drink with Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng changed from the worries of the previous few days and became much happier. Zeng Yi knew something good was going on at a glance. Hastily asked: "What's the matter? Make big brother so happy?"

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Good thing! There are too many casualties these days, but still can't break through the enemy's defense line. Brother Meng Khan contacted the king of Xixia Kingdom. Xixia decided to support a batch of siege equipment. With this batch of hero equipment, The soldiers on the front line will shed less blood!"

Siege equipment!Zeng Yi was very surprised, he didn't expect Xixia would agree to support such a thing!Later, Zeng Yi learned from Xiao Feng that these siege equipment were not free, but Brother Meng paid a huge price, and it was not like what Zeng Yi thought, there were such weapons as ballistas and continuous shooting crossbows, they were just some weapons. Ordinary siege equipment, siege towers, ramming cars and so on!

The siege tower is tall, and there are wheels under the tower, which can travel.During a siege battle, push it close to the city wall, and soldiers can step directly from the platform on the top of the tower to the top of the enemy's city wall.The ramming car has a huge wooden stake, and there will be an iron head on the stake, which swings back and forth inside the cover, and hits the city wall or gate.After hitting the wall, the stake will swing back and continue to charge towards the wall.The force of this impact can break through a gate or stone wall made of planks, opening an opening for attack.

These two kinds of siege equipment have no direct lethality, but there are also a batch of catapults in this batch of siege equipment, which are more scary. They are also called cannons, which are a kind of siege weapon in ancient times. One or more boulders can be thrown into the enemy's wall and city to cause damage. It is the best siege weapon in the cold weapon era.Catapults can also throw filth, dead animals, the heads of dead enemies, and the corpses of prisoners to frighten the people in the city.

Zeng Yi never imagined that Xixia would take out his housekeeping weapon. These things are usually things that will not be sold for a lot of money!Later Zeng Yi found out that the Xixia people were not that stupid, they just gave Brother Meng a batch of human-powered catapults. The human-powered catapults use human power to pull the tips connected to the crossbar together at a place far away from the catapults.The tip of the cannon is mounted on a wooden frame, one end is tied with a rope to hold the leather sheath containing the stone bullets, and the other end is tied with many ropes to be pulled by manpower to throw the stone bullets. Seven gun tips are installed on one gun mount, and 250 people are required to cast it.

In this way, Zeng Yi was relieved a lot. He thought to himself: "Made, fortunately, the Xixia people didn't bring out the return cannon."It is a trebuchet, a weapon used for offensive and defensive warfare.This kind of trebuchet is a kind of trebuchet that people in the Western Regions have improved, improved, and innovated more advanced and more powerful on the basis of ancient trebuchets. If Brother Meng gets this kind of weapon, Gurhan's defense line will still be strong. Really can't last for a few days!
He was very interested in siege equipment, Zeng Yi calmly told Xiao Feng a lot, Xiao Feng didn't think much about it, but he knew everything, this was better than business, in fact Xiao Feng also played a big role, brother Meng and Yeluhong In the name of Xiao Feng, Ji and Xu Zhu talked about buying siege equipment with Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu facilitated the matter for Xiao Feng's sake, but Brother Meng didn't get all the siege equipment. Xiao Feng contributed a lot, so naturally he wanted to win some for the Khitan, and in the end about one-third was assigned to the Khitan tribe!
According to Xiao Feng, the Western Xia has already been prepared and will be transported to the grassland in the near future!After asking about these things, Zeng Yi drank wine with Xiao Feng calmly, and left Xiao Feng's place after drinking!As soon as he left Xiao Feng's camp, Zeng Yi hurriedly committed suicide and returned to the capital. These siege weapons can affect the situation of the battle. Zeng Yi must notify Qinglong in time!
Returning to the capital, Zeng Yi didn't care about the darkness, and came to Jinyiwei Yamen by himself. Fortunately, Qinglong was not asleep yet, and he and Tuotuo were having dinner. Zeng Yi was not polite, sat down on the table, and started eating , and said while eating: "The dishes in the Central Plains are still delicious. In addition to roasting, the grasslands are still grilled!"

Qinglong and his wife glared at him angrily, "It's late at night, why are you running back?"

"Hey! Master, I got a piece of important information. Brother Meng ordered a batch of siege equipment from Xixia, including a trebuchet!"

I thought that Qinglong might be shocked, but his expression was very flat. Zeng Yi immediately reacted: "Master! Did you know about this a long time ago?"

"A few days ago, I received a report from the spies, but I didn't expect that Xixia even provided the housekeeper with a trebuchet to Brother Meng!"

"No return cannons provided, just some human-powered trebuchets!"

"Oh! I also hope they provide return guns, so we can get a few back, and study it!"

"." Faced with such a shameless green dragon, Zeng Yi felt uncomfortable for a while!
