Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 951 Gravity Catapult

Seeing Xiahou Dun blushing, Yu Jin was embarrassed to say it, but he still had to report the situation of the battle, so he said: "The thing is like this, I was ambushed by the Qin army."

"How did you fall?" Cheng Yu, a military adviser, asked.

Li Dian said: "The Qin army used scarecrows... and thought it was an ambush, so they charged forward."

"Ah!" Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Man Chong were all in the loop at that time.

Although Cheng Yu couldn't see it with his own eyes, he sounded terrified and said, "Qin Zijin's use of troops is weird and contrary to common sense, so he is cunning and cunning. It is really hard to guard against. Fortunately, the general is not in trouble. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The general does not need to let go." In my heart."

A piece of scarecrow was cut, and there has never been such a record since ancient times.Xiahou Dun had nothing to say, and ordered Cheng Yu to take care of the future, and he left.

By the second day.

Xiahou Dun held on to the shame of yesterday's defeat, and was promoted to the hall for discussion.

Then he got the aftermath report, the loss of over [-] troops and [-] equipment.The previous one beat the war drum and killed [-] enemies, but yesterday he lost over [-] in the straw man trick.In layman's terms, I lost seven thousand.

Xiahou Dun sighed, "Qin Zijin is too cunning, he must be careful in the future."

"Report... Qin's army has received reinforcements, and the army has been dispatched, and it is less than twenty miles away!" A small school ran wildly and shouted.

Xiahou Dun looked up, stood up and said: "This must be the arrival of the infantry of the Qin army. They muster their troops and horses and mount the city for defense. Yu Jin is at the south gate, Li Dian is at the north gate, and Le Jin is at the west gate."

So Xiahou Dun came to the east gate in person.

Cao Jun stood all over the top of the city, deployed giant crossbows, and thunderbolt chariots.This thunderbolt car is a kind of rock-throwing cart. It is named "thunderbolt cart" because of its loud sound when throwing stones.

After Cao Jun was fully alert, Qin Jun slowly came to the city.

The [-] Qin army was divided into hundreds of small formations, dozens of middle formations, and several large formations.The soldiers cover the ground, their sharp edges are soaring to the sky, and the back row is almost connected to the sky.

However, Xuchang City is also tall and majestic, just like a giant beast entrenched between heaven and earth.And the [-] Cao troops inside are the sharp teeth and claws of this giant beast.

The city wall of Xuchang is as high as a twenty-story building, but it's just a single building, so I don't think it's a big deal.But if the city wall spreads for more than ten miles, it will be huge, and people under it are really small.

Qin Feng stood at the foot of the horse city and looked up. The people on the top of the city were no bigger than a matchbox.

Such a majestic city makes people powerless just by looking at it, and ordinary people simply don't have the courage to attack.

"Qin Zijin, even if you have millions of troops, you still don't want to enter my city of Xuchang!" Xiahou Dun breathed out, "Show the enemy some flair."

Clack, clack, clack....

A giant crossbow as tall as a man flew down from the top of the [-]-story city, followed by stones overwhelming the sky.

Bang bang bang~, boom boom~.

The earth trembled, was in a mess, and was full of dust.

Even the soldiers of the Qin army who had been fighting for a long time couldn't help but change their expressions.

Qin Feng was naturally at a safe distance, and as the dust drifted towards him, he raised his hand and fanned the dust.

Old Jiaxu said: "My lord, Xuchang is Cao Cao's stronghold. It has been in operation for many years and the city walls are tall. It must not be attacked by force."

Today, the Central Plains Gunzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan area, and most of Yuzhou are all in Qin Feng's hands.In addition to his original land of four states, he already has seven and a half states in his hands.The world is only a land of thirteen states, and it can be said that half of the country is under control.

As for Cao Cao, only the Xuchang area, Guandu, and Chenliu areas are left.

Qin Feng was sympathetic to the soldiers. Although he was eager to unify the Central Plains, he did not plan to attack Xuchang by force.

Now that Xiahou Dun appeared on the top of the city, it is obvious that the enemy has no possibility of going out of the city to fight.Qin Feng swung his gun, "Didn't the Northland Academy of Sciences send a batch of new trebuchets a few days ago, set up a position and show the enemy some color."

Following his order, the Qin army's formation began to move, and at the edge of the safe zone, the Qin army began to assemble trebuchets, all of which were large trebuchets.

The scene of tens of thousands of people assembling the trebuchet is really hot.

Xiahoudun on the top of the city naturally saw all this, and he shouted disdainfully: "Qin Zijin, do you think your trebuchet can be thrown on the top of my Xuchang city?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. For a city like Xuchang, the height of the city and the width of the military path allow small trebuchets to be placed. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary trebuchets to have an effect on such a majestic city.But Qin Feng's catapult this time is not ordinary, it is the latest achievement of the Northland Academy of Sciences.

At this time, Qin Feng had set up the temporary tent of the Chinese army, and Qin Feng went back to the tent to rest.

Xiahoudun on the top of the city saw the Qin army's catapults taking shape one by one, and his heart began to flutter.

Man Chong said from the side: "Our army is condescending, and the range of the thunderbolt car is farther than that of a large trebuchet. The enemy will definitely not be able to throw a trebuchet outside the safe zone. Our army has already verified this matter. The general does not need to worry .”

Xiahou Dun was finally relieved when he heard the words, and said, "Here's an order, and the Qin army's catapults will be useless after a while, so just laugh at me."

But gradually, Xiahou Dun began to worry again.Because Qin Jun's trebuchet was too huge, let alone three feet high, depending on the head, a team of 50 people was required to operate a trebuchet.How high and far can such a trebuchet cast?

It took almost an hour to erect the Qin Army trebuchet.

When Qin Feng returned to the front of the formation from the Chinese army tent again, he saw a row of more than a hundred trebuchets as tall as old cranes.

This trebuchet is a new trebuchet independently developed by Qin Jun.It is the product of the perfect combination of Qin Feng's ideas for future generations, and the ideas of Ma Jun, the master of machinery, and Huang Chengyan, the master of mechanisms.

This trebuchet, also known as the 'gravity trebuchet', is infinitely close to the 'return cannon'.

When Mongolia attacked Xiangyang, there was a record: Cannons were placed in the southeast corner of the city, weighing 150 jin, the machine fired, and the sound shook the world.Song appeased Lu Wenhuan's fear and surrendered the city.

It can project nearly 1000 pounds of projectiles, which is very powerful.It can throw 200 to 300-pound stone bullets at a distance of about 300 yards. For every ten pounds of weight reduction, the throwing distance will increase by more than ten yards.

In medieval Europe, this kind of trebuchet was used to break down impregnable castles.The famous castle era also came to an end because of the appearance of this trebuchet.

When seeing Qin Feng's golden figure appear again, Xia Houdun's complexion turned sour.But he still said: "The trebuchet is only a bit bigger, and it must not be able to cast it. We have verified it before."

After Cao Jun heard this, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief.It was indeed verified at the beginning. Although the thunderbolt chariot at the head of Cao Jun's city is small in size, it is condescending and has a long projection.Therefore, a large trebuchet placed outside the projecting distance of the Thunderbolt Chariot cannot throw stones onto the city.

Hahahaha, Kaka~.

With the sound of winches and pulleys, more than [-] eyes from both sides were fixed on these catapults.

The Qin army's trebuchet troops were well-trained, and this first throw was really coordinated.The end where the ammunition is placed is pulled down, and the other end with the weight is lifted up. Hundreds of them are at the same time. The scene is amazing.

Bang bang~.

There was a huge sound, when the heavy object in units of tonnages fell, it smashed a deep hole of more than three feet in the ground.And the ammunition made of stones soared into the sky with a roar.

"I can't fly up, I can't fly up, I can't fly up!" Cao Jun's soldiers were all talking, but the shadow of the boulder was higher than the city wall.

When those boulders smashed towards the top of the city with the momentum of Mount Tai, Cao Jun's three armies panicked.And the Qin army under the city burst into cheers.

"Find cover!" Xiahou Dun exclaimed with a green face.
