The bombardment of artillery and stones shook the heaven and earth.
As the sound stopped, the dust dispersed.
The city wall of Jicheng appeared again before everyone's eyes. The towering city tower was hit by artillery stones and collapsed on the spot. A huge gap also appeared in the city wall where it was hit by the cannonball.
At the same time, there were also the frightened screams of the Yan people and soldiers on the city wall.
The power of one shot is so terrifying.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded. Qiang Su, who had just looked disdainful and waited to see the joke, even opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Why is it that no one is pulling it, but it can launch boulder shooting? What kind of power is this?"
"How could it be so powerful to destroy the city wall with one blow?"
"The power of God must be the power of God!"
…
The generals looked at the tragic situation on the city wall in the distance, then turned to look at the wooden equipment beside them, their eyes full of horror.
They still don't understand why a stone-throwing machine without soldiers pulling it can throw a hundred-jin boulder two hundred steps, shattering the city tower with one blow.
Such power cannot be achieved by human power.
Li Xin's eyes were also horrified at this moment. He looked at Zhao Tuo, who had a calm face, and his emotions were rising and falling like waves.
There were so many things about this young man that surprised him.
The Qin army's formation at the rear roared and screamed one after another, and even the military judge could not stop it.
Not only the Qin army watching from a distance, but also the soldiers who had already participated in the experiment were shocked by the actual combat power of the boulder.
Shejian looked shocked, and Black Buttocks even screamed: "My mother, if this was hit by a cannon, I'm afraid she wouldn't be turned into meat on the spot."
If we say the ones who are relatively calm are the two Mohists.
Zhao Ji stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and the object in his hand fell straight to the ground.
He stared at the object falling to the ground and murmured: "Gravity. Gravity?"
Lu Jun on the side looked at the heavy objects hanging on the gun barrel of the stone machine, thoughtfully, "The "Mo Jing" said that 'force, heavy means. Xia, and, heavy Fen', it turns out that is this. What do you mean?"
Just when everyone was either frightened or thinking, Wang Jian burst into laughter.
"Good. It is indeed an artifact passed down by Gongshuzi. It really has unpredictable power. If you attack a city with this object, no city will be destroyed! If I, the Qin Dynasty, get this object, the four kingdoms will surely perish!"
Hearing the general's voice, the generals also praised him.
"This thing is really powerful. With the help of this thing, our Qin army will surely sweep across all directions and become invincible in the world!"
"Gongshu Ziguo is a great craftsman in the world, and these objects are truly miraculous."
Facing the surprise and admiration of the generals, Zhao Tuo remained calm.
It is normal to use the most terrifying siege weapons from 1,500 years ago to bombard the city wall from 1,500 years ago. With such a gap in time, it is normal to have such results.
At this time, Wang Jian suddenly straightened his spine and looked at the frightened Jicheng in the distance.
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
Wang Jian's eyes were bright and he had already spotted the fighter plane.
"The generals all returned to their bases and took advantage of the situation to attack the city and capture Jicheng in one fell swoop!"
"only!"
The generals accepted the promise, suppressed the fear in their hearts, turned around excitedly and quickly returned to their formation.
Among them, Qiangxu ran the fastest.
Wang Jian looked towards Zhao Tuo.
He said kindly: "Young man, you can still have another shot!"
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment and responded quickly: "The general has an order, no matter how many cannons are available."
Zhao Tuo prepared three sets of materials for counterweight trebuchets for replacement. As long as they were taken out, two more sets could be assembled immediately.
The soldiers moved the prepared new stones, loaded the ammunition again, and fired.
The roar shook the heaven and the earth.
At the same time, passionate war drums beat.
The black-armored army sang ancient war songs and surged toward Jicheng like a wave with indomitable momentum.
…
Yandu, Tongxiatai.
King Yan was sitting on the couch in the palace, surrounded by red and purple mist, which made his figure disappear and appear, making him appear strange and blurred.
"The goddess saves the orphan and saves my country, Yan."
He murmured, staring straight at the open space in front of him, and at the same time stretched out his hands to make a grasping gesture, as if there was really a woman standing in front of him.
Boom!
A huge roar came from afar, and the whole palace seemed to tremble. King Yan trembled and fell off the couch.
"goddess!"
King Yanxi got up from the ground, his eyes clear again, but the goddess who had been hugging him just now had disappeared without a trace.
"Goddess, why did you leave me alone?"
King Yan Xi screamed in grief and howled loudly.
Since the Qin army besieged the city, King Xi of Yan has been in panic all the time. Fortunately, Jicheng, which has been reinforced by the ancestors of the past kings, is like an iron wall, and the soldiers and people in the city work together to keep the Qin people out of the city. He has no sense of security.
However, as the Qin army continued to attack the city every day, and the food in the city continued to be consumed, the warehouse would be bottomed out in a few months at most. This made King Yan more and more worried. He could only rely on taking pills donated by the alchemists to relieve his worries. .
The things offered by the alchemists were also magical. If they were eaten, they would be able to have supernatural powers, touch the legendary fairies, and forget all their sorrows.
After King Yan took the pill, he could sometimes see immortals flying in the sky, sometimes he could see little people running on the ground, and sometimes he could even meet the long-dead king.
But it was not until today that he saw the goddess he had dreamed of.
He was talking to the goddess from the bottom of his heart, hoping to get the help of the goddess like his late king, King Zhao, to repel the Qin people and conquer the lost territory.
But just when the goddess smiled back at him and was about to embrace him.
The sky shook and the earth shook, awakening King Yan Xi from his fairyland.
"What it is?"
King Yan was delighted to think of the huge roar just now. It was a sound he had never heard before. It was like a landslide and the ground was collapsing, which made him feel frightened.
He was about to call his attendants to ask, but suddenly, there was another terrible sound, like thunder exploding the ground, which frightened King Yan to jump up from the ground.
"Is it the east? What is going on? Could it be that the immortal in the sea heard Gu's call?"
King Yan's eyes suddenly shone, and he remembered that those alchemists had once said that on the eastern ocean, there was a sacred mountain called Penglai and Yingzhou, and on the mountain lived immortals with great supernatural powers and immortality.
Could it be that these immortals heard Gu's plea for help and came to save our country, Yan?
Just when King Yan was thinking happily, there were rapid footsteps outside the palace.
Yan Dan looked horrified and shouted as he walked: "Father, something bad has happened. The Qin army is about to break the city!"
"What?"
The King of Yan was overjoyed and frightened, and shouted: "The walls of our capital, Yan, are strong and our soldiers are attentive. How can the Qin army break the city? Don't talk nonsense."
There was still horror on Yan Dan's face, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's a huge boulder. I don't know what kind of method Wang Jian used to make a boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms fly into the sky. That huge force hit the city wall, and it was impossible to stop it." Ah. Although the city wall has not collapsed now, it will be a matter of time. The soldiers guarding the city all said that the Qin people used witchcraft, and they all fled in a hurry. The city was furious, rumors were everywhere, and the Qin army was attacking the city from all sides..."
"Jicheng can no longer be defended!"
"Boulders flying into the sky?"
King Yan was stunned, thinking that he had heard a huge roar just now, and his face was like earth.
It turns out that the immortal is not helping himself, but the hateful Qin people.
"Let's go to Liaodong! I still have an elite army, which is enough to escort us out of the city. As long as we can rush out, we can still protect our country's blood and food!"
Faced with a life and death crisis, Yan Wangxi became decisive and directly activated the backup plan.
He kicked Yan Dan and strode out of the hall.
After leaving the palace, a Gantang tree planted on the stage fell into King Yan's happy eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, looking at the leafy tree and murmuring.
Cover the Fu Gantang, do not cut it or cut it down, Zhao Bo will do it.
Cover the Fu Gantang, don't cut it, don't break it, call the uncle to rest there.
Cover Fu Gantang, don’t cut it, don’t worship it, as Uncle Zhao said.
The tears couldn't stop rolling down.
King Yan knew that he would never come back.
The Gantang tree, which extols Zhao Gong's virtues and policies and represents the memory and praise of the people of Yan, will eventually fall under the sword and ax of the Qin army.
Under the tree, this land that has been ruled by the descendants of Duke Zhao for eight hundred years will also become the territory of Qin.
As for the power of "cannon", in fact, it is still written according to history, and the original words in the history books are used in many places.
This is a historical novel after all, so the author can only try his best to write based on unearthed cultural relics, historical books, and relevant academic papers. As for more professional physical science knowledge, I really don’t have the energy to study it slowly and carefully, and choose everything according to the needs of the plot.
"Mo Jing·Jing Shuo 1": "Strength means heavy. Xia means and means heavy Fen."
Because of the different segmentation and interpretation, the meaning expressed by this sentence is very different.
Whether it refers to "gravity" or not is a matter of opinion.
