Chapter 684: Each Move (Part 2)

With the anticipation of the Huainan army soldiers, Sun Tu... turned around and went down the city tower, turned over and turned his horse, and then left without looking back.

All the generals watched him and his personal soldiers disappear completely in a daze, and they could not come back to their senses for a long time. Peng Yongzhen's face changed several times: "What does Chief Sun mean? If you have an idea, just say it, and you have to give us a correct word!" At this time, he didn't know what to say.

However, Fan Feng was quite confident in Sun Tu and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. The commander must have been his reason for doing this. Since he said there was a way to destroy the Thunderbolt chariot outside the city, he would definitely come up with a solution!"

Peng Yongzhen glanced at this subordinate. Although he was anxious, he could only calm the morale of the army first, so he quickly said loudly: "Fan Tuanlian is right. Since General Sun said there is a way, we must have confidence. It is too late today, and the anti-army will not attack again. One night is enough for us to prepare. Now, we will clean up the city first, otherwise it will be difficult to even guard the city tomorrow!"

When the Huainan Army sent people to clear many debris and stones at the northern city, Sun Tu had already appeared in front of a wide open space in the middle of the county town. More than a hundred elite soldiers were guarding there, let alone the people, even ordinary soldiers were not allowed to approach. But after seeing Sun Tu arrive, they quickly gave way out and let him enter directly.

There were many instruments guarding the city, and several large pots of stenched gold juice. However, Sun Tu did not care about this, but came to a young general who was standing by the huge crossbow and frowned secretly: "Chief Hua, how about it? Have you come up with some famous things?"

This young general has a handsome face and long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. He is the famous Li Guanghuarong in Liangshan. There are not many people who can compare with him today when he is a magical archery technique.

Once upon a time, he was a low-ranking military general in the court. Qingfeng Village knew about the village, but because he admired Daming, he embarked on the road of becoming a bandit. Even now he has surrendered to the court again, his original identity as a bandit made it difficult for him to get too much respect in the Shandong army. This time when Sun Tu deliberately transferred here from Song Jiang, he was also worried. It was not until Sun Tu expressed his purpose that he felt relieved.

At this time, when Sun Tu asked, Hua Rong quickly walked out of his thoughts and said with a serious expression: "Secretary, although this crossbow is also a type of crossbow machine, its principle is very different from that of ordinary crossbows. It is too large, and its range and strength are more than ten times that of ordinary crossbows. It is difficult to achieve accuracy like an ordinary crossbow... Even if I aim, I am afraid that one arrow may not be able to hit the three arrows."

It turned out that Sun Tu invited Hua Rong here to let him come up with a way to make this crossbow accurately attack the enemy!

Of course, Sun Tu, a powerful weapon to defend the city, could not be used without it, but because there were too few related "arrows" equipped, it was naturally impossible to use it as a conventional weapon like the Song army on the border, so it would require a considerable accuracy. If the enemy's chief general could be shot with one arrow like the Battle of Chanzhou, then the offensive and defensive battle would naturally win.

However, even an archery master like Hua Rong could not come up with a certain idea after facing such a huge monster. For this reason, he also tried to shoot a few arrows, but he could only maintain a certain accuracy within a little bit of the land. It would be difficult to go far.

After telling his difficulties, he added: "And once the arrow is shot, it will be affected by the wind direction. Anyway, as long as you leave the string, it will be difficult to control the direction and target of these arrows!"

Sun Tu nodded. Not to mention the crossbows at this time, even the guns and cannons with faster speeds and higher accuracy in later generations will be affected by external factors, which will make the difference a thousand miles away. However, he did not dispel the decision to use the crossbows to accurately strike them, but said seriously: "Actually, are you thinking too complicated? You just need to apply various methods of archery to the crossbows. For example, the speed, height, and arc when the arrow leaves the string..." Sun Tu really wanted to explain it to the other party with more scientific statements such as parabola, but now he can only use other statements to replace them. After all, it is impossible for human Huarong to understand the mathematical principles of a thousand years later.

Originally, Hua Rong was a little dissatisfied with Sun Tu’s statements, but with the other party’s in-depth introduction, a light suddenly popped up in his eyes. As a sharpshooter, he was too familiar with the various techniques of archery, but he might not be able to tell too many great truths. Now, after hearing Sun Tu’s introduction, he has a further understanding of this, and even feels that his archery skills have improved.

Sometimes, theory can provide further growth possibilities for practice! Of course, if you want to completely put these theories into practice, you still need the elites in it to complete them.

After a long silence, Hua Rong finally let out a long sigh, and then bowed to Sun Tu solemnly: "Thank you, Master Sun, for your guidance. I will have a better understanding of this crossbow technique. If you aim as you said, I will believe that I can shoot a target of about a meter within three to five miles, but it is not as accurate as it is." In the end, he showed a look of regret, which is obviously quite far from what Sun Tu proposed to snipe the enemy generals.

But Sun Tu had already revealed his joy: "Are you really sure to do this?"

"I dare not say 10% of the time, but I am sure it is still possible." Hua Rong nodded.

"That's good. Follow me to the North City quickly, and ask someone to send everyone's crossbows. I will destroy all the enemy's catapults early tomorrow morning!" Sun Tu was overjoyed and said hurriedly.

Speaking of which, after finding the several crossbows in Nancheng that day, Sun Tu thought about using them on the battlefield. However, because the enemy general was extremely cautious and did not really get close to the Changshu city wall, and the accuracy of the crossbows, Sun Tu temporarily dispelled this approach. Moreover, he was afraid that there would be spies from the Wu army in the city to destroy such powerful weapons to defend the city, so he took them off the city and put them here for Hua Rong to familiarize himself and debug.

And now, it’s finally time to use these crossbows to make achievements!

At this moment, the troops here quickly moved, dismantled the huge crossbows and transported them to the northern city in batches. This made the Huainan army there slightly puzzled. It was not until the crossbows were reassembled one by one that they understood the intention of Sun Qianqin, but everyone still had some doubts about this.

"We have seen this crossbow before. Can we really hit those thunderbolt cars as we wish?"

"I think it's so hard. They are too far away. Even if they are lucky enough to hit one or two, the other thunderbolt cars will hit stones and destroy our crossbow!"...

Various statements were spreading below, and the soldiers who had been beaten to death by the enemy's catapult cart really had little confidence in this. However, Hua Rong was not affected by such arguments. He just ordered people to set five crossbows at key positions according to their own wishes, and kept coming forward to give instructions, so that someone could fine-tune the arrow position: "Yes, the body of the fourth crossbow machine was three inches west, stop, and retreat two feet later, yes, that's it..."

With his greetings, the soldiers were sent to the ground, and even Sun Tu couldn't understand what he was doing. But Sun Tu absolutely believed in Hua Rong's professionalism. If anyone in the city can let these crossbows fully exert their power, it would be him Hua Rong.

"Qin Sun, can you really destroy the anti-army thunder chariot with a bed crossbow?" After enduring for a long time, Peng Yongzhen finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Sun Tu glanced at him and looked at the rock-throwing cars that were already hidden in the dark: "This is our only way to turn the situation around, and I also believe that with Hua Rong's ability, we will definitely live up to our responsibilities!"

"Thank you for your trust from the commander. I can only say that I have done my best. But today it is dark and I can't accurately aim. Maybe I can finally settle it when it dawn tomorrow." Hua Rong also came over at this time, and said with a little nervous expression. To be honest, he has not had much confidence that he has never used the precise strike of the crossbow.

Sun Tu smiled and stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Just let go of your actions, I believe in your ability."

This made Hua Rong stunned, and his heart was even more enthusiastic, and he didn't know what to say.

To be honest, since he voted for Liangshan, he felt a little regretful, and this emotion became even worse after he returned to the court. After all, he had already been marked as a bandit, and even if he became a government army again, he still had no chance to stand out.

It is precisely because of this idea in his heart that Hua Rong has been restless recently and can only follow Song Jiang with one mind. But now, Sun Tu's attitude of trust in him has made him feel a different feeling, and even touched him a little.

After a while, he was sober that he said seriously: "The last general will definitely not disappoint the chief!"

The constant busyness of the defenders on the city naturally fell into the eyes of Wu Jun outside. Soon the news also reached Pang Wanchun, which made him hurriedly leave the tent and check forward.

Although it was dark and it was not very real to see it several miles apart, he still understood that the crossbow was being arranged on the top of the city, which made his brows frown again: "It was such a mistake. The one who shouldn't have sent the crossbow here to kill more Song army, but now it's a good deal for the Song army!" Of course, what he wanted to complain about was Fang Shifo's unauthorized action, which led to big problems in his entire plan.

But even so, Pang Wanchun still did not take the threat of these crossbows seriously: "Hmph, then Sun Tu was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. He actually wanted to use these crossbows to break my thunder cart. Do you really think he is a god? Tomorrow, let him know how big a mistake he made!"

Yes, when tomorrow dawn will be the last battle between the two sides!

At least that's what Pang Wanchun thinks.
Chapter completed!
