Chapter 400: The Battle of Xixian (5)(1/2)
The Hu people quickly set up siege equipment such as cloud ladders, flying ladders, and hung them tightly on the city wall.
The carriage was about the same height as the city wall and was slowly pushed over, and the Hu archers kept firing rockets to provide cover for the infantry.
These ladders themselves are extremely bulky and have hooks. The angle is tightly dependent on the city wall. No matter how strong the soldiers guarding the city are, they cannot push them open.
More importantly, it can not only be folded, but also covered with cowhide. It can not only prevent arrows, but also fireproof, and is the most important siege weapon.
A Hu centurion shouted, holding a shield and a big knife, climbed up the cloud tower, followed by a group of officers like him.
Feng Yongcheng from the gate building could see clearly on it and whistled.
A security guard ignited the thunder and Huang Wei stepped on the pedal hard.
The sky-bang thunder was rotated by the whirlwind cannon, and the powerful centrifugal force allowed it to escape from the whirlwind cannon and cross the sky above the Eight Immortals table.
The Hu centurion had just crawled into the middle of the ladder when a black thing suddenly fell from the sky.
In a hurry, the Hu centurion had just raised his shield when something suddenly exploded.
The Hu people, the centurion, saw a flash of light, and then the pain came from his eyes, forehead and neck.
He felt that something was going through him and his body, but he didn't know that it was a piece of ceramic.
The centurion's eyes turned black, his head heavy, and his feet rolled down from the cloud tower.
Not only did he fall, but a string of tribes behind him also fell down with him.
The centurion crawled the highest and fell to death on the spot. The tenth prince behind him was either seriously or slightly injured.
Even if the centurion did not die, he would be almost useless, and his eyes were shot into ceramic fragments and turned into blind.
Another centurion on the ladder reacted very quickly and quickly raised his shield.
The sky-booming thunder exploded on the shield, allowing him to escape this disaster.
He finally found a way to deal with the Nanman thunder, which was to hold the shield above his head to protect himself.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Holding the shield above your head can protect the thunder of the southern barbarians."
Hearing the centurion screaming, the ten-husband behind him imitated him and hurriedly raised the shield above his head.
This news was immediately learned by other Hu people on the cloud ladder. They all held their shields above their heads and crawled loudly on the cloud ladder.
The centurion was full of energy. He had just crawled two more ladders when another thunder fell.
But this time he was not so lucky, and the sky thunder exploded in the air behind his head.
He felt as if his head was hit hard by a hammer, and his neck, arms, and back were shot in and out of his pain.
He suddenly felt dark in front of him, his hands were weak, and he fell from the ladder on his head and feet.
The centurion fell down the moment he pressed the tenth prince behind him and then fell down.
Another centurion saw a black thing falling from the sky and suddenly felt something was wrong.
He was quick to learn to think, and pushed the thing out, and moved the thing to the right.
"Boom" the thing exploded in his lower corner, and his two subordinates raised their shields to resist the explosion above.
The centurion was not so lucky, and pain came from his two thighs.
This is secondly, the key is that a piercing pain came from his lower part.
He could no longer bear the pain, and he screamed and fell from the ladder.
When he fell, he slammed heavily on the shield of the ten-men below.
This centurion is also a burly man, weighing nearly 200 kilograms.
Papa, not only did his subordinates smash their shields, but their right arm was also smashed, and they rolled down with the centurion.
The centurion rolled down with the ten-men, and took the ten-men under the ladder and down the ladder with the ten-men under the ladder.
"The Hu people on the cloud ladder and the flying ladder seemed to be not as fierce as before." Feng Yongcheng was delighted when he watched the cloud ladder and the flying ladder.
Song Fei nodded and said happily: "The Hu people were caught off guard by our whirlwind cannon."
"The Hu people are still behind, Jinglan Car, and Lu Gongbuk has slowly moved to the side of the city wall at this time." Tan Xing glanced at Jinglan Car and Lu Gongbuk and said worriedly.
Huang Zhizhao, Huang Wei and Lin Sheng, Xiao Qiuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank the water bag, and sipped in his big mouthfuls.
Although the whirlwind cannon seems simple, it requires five people to operate, which happens to be the strength of a unit.
Moreover, the cyclone cannon cannot be forward and must be in the rear position because the enemy fires rockets.
What does Booming Thunder fear the most is the fire of the Rockets.
As long as the rocket is shot here, the thunder of the sky will not blow up the enemy, but will blow up itself after the explosion.
This cyclone cannon uses five people, one is to remove the thunder, one is to ignite the thunder, one is to place the thunder, and one is to stomp the thunder, and the other is to observer.
None of the first four people have any technical content. At most, they are strong and skillful.
However, observers are very skilled and no less than craftsmen.
In view of the low radioactivity accuracy of the last Xixian attack, Zhao Ping improved the cyclone cannon and added a ruler.
Observers must come from Zhaojiazhuang Academy, because they often report numbers from the left and right up and down.
They must be able to arithmetic and calculate angles, and report the best shooting angle based on observations.
The pedaler can only adjust the angle according to the numbers reported by the observer and launch it.
Just now, when some Hu people attacked through the ladder, they found that using shields could withstand the sky-burning thunder.
After seeing this situation by the observer on the ladder, he calculated the angle and caused the launching position of the Sky Thunder to explode behind the Hu people in Yundi, which greatly shocked the Hu people's arrogance.
Observers can do the work of the other four people, but the other four people often do not do the work of the observer.
Therefore, the observers are generally the commander of the sergeant, and the other four have to accept it.
The Hu people attacked fiercely just now, and they never had a rest to be busy.
Huang Zhizhao and others finally had time to rest. Through this battle, the Hu people who had been afraid of them had won so easily.
Huang Wei took a sip of water and looked at Huang Zhizhao: "Father, this whirlwind cannon is indeed powerful. The Hu people were beaten down before they could kill the city wall. Although someone was injured in the city guarding the city, no one died yet."
"Don't be careless, Zhijie (Huang Wei's name), there are many traitors of the Hu people now. They are helping the Hu people to offer advice, so they must be careful." Huang Zhizhao thought for a while and reminded his son.
Huang Wei shook his head, and said with a very relaxed and pleasant tone: "The eldest son of the Song Dynasty is to defend the city, not to attack the city. If you continue to fight like this, you will soon make achievements."
"It's just started now. I heard that there are many Hu people attacking this time, and the ammunition must be used in a little bit." Huang Zhizhao reminded his son.
Huang Zhizhao and Huang Wei turned out to be Yongheng Village, one of whom was the leader of the village and the other was the leader of the village.
Yongheng Mountain Village was built by Huang Zhizhao and his son, and it was said that even if the Hu people came, they would not be afraid.
What I never expected was that within a day, Zhao Ping's personal troops were easily captured.
In front of Zhao Ping's whirlwind cannon and the Eight Immortals Table tactics, the father and son realized what it was as solid as a lie.
After the Yongheng Mountain Village was captured by Zhao Ping, the father and son finally realized that only by following Zhao Ping could they truly make achievements.
Seeing the majestic whirlwind cannon, the father and son’s biggest wish is to join the whirlwind cannon team.
The father and son were brave and resourceful. After a period of training, they joined the whirlwind.
After some efforts, under Feng Yongcheng's guidance, the father and son finally turned the hundred original copycat soldiers he brought into whirlwind artillery soldiers.
In addition to the observers sent by the security team, there was a formation of troops.
The father and son were originally people who made meritorious service and had no chance to become officers such as the leader of the formation.
Yu Mohua received a letter from her father, asking him to pass it on to Zhao Ping.
There is a jealous lady by Zhao Ping. This jealous lady is either someone else or Cuizhu.
When Cuizhu heard someone say it was a jealous lady, she was surprised and then said: 'I was originally a jealous lady, just to drive away the vixen."
When Yu Mohua saw Cui Zhu, she was not ashamed of it, but was proud of it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
She thought to herself, although you think so, at least you have to do the same thing.
Cuizhu saw Yu Mohua's expression and asked strangely at Yu Mohua: "Does my sister hope there are more girls around the official?"
"Sister doesn't have this kind of thought." After saying this, she seemed to have become a jealous lady, feeling a little embarrassed, so she had to bow her head.
Cuizhu now has the best relationship except Lan'er who grew up with her.
Xi Erniang, Wang Shijiu Niang, and Zhang Xiaoniang, the relationship has always been bad for her.
These people look down on Cuizhu maids, and more importantly, their families are not simple behind them.
Although Yu Mohua also has a certain background, he has always lowered his eyebrows and always pleased Cui Zhu's appearance.
Cuizhu looked at a letter in her hand, couldn't help but look at her suspiciously and asked, "What kind of letter is this?"
"This is a letter from my father and I ask my sister to bring it to the official." After saying that, she carefully showed the letter to Cuizhu.
When Cuizhu saw that it was indeed famous for the Yu Qishi, he nodded.
She made full use of her personal maid and guarded Zhao Ping very tightly. Not only did she firmly refuse those people to send women to Zhao Ping, but she couldn't even write letters.
This is a letter from Yu Mohua's father. Obviously, he would not recommend other young ladies to his son-in-law. He waved his hand and agreed to Yu Mohua go in.
