Cui Yanyou scratched the back of his head, but couldn't explain why.
This watchtower looks tall from inside the city, but when placed outside the city, especially compared to the towering turret, it is not even suitable for carrying shoes.
For the Jin army stationed outside the city, there was almost no threat.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Wang Mi's mind.
"Half a mile!"
Throw a cannon at half a mile behind Qixia Gate!
The watchtower may be just a coordinate, but the real key is the distance!
Although the ancient stone cannon is crude, the range can be adjusted to improve the accuracy of the stone cannon and hit the target.
The place half a mile away from the city gate must not be where the Xianbei Army is stationed. Cui Yanyou and Shen Suanzi both confirmed that there are no more than 5,000 Xianbei people in the city.
In this first battle, Murong Chui would definitely not release all his soldiers to work for Di Qin.
Then who is the person about half a mile away from Qixia Gate?
Di people!
It must be a Di person!
"Yanyou, I remember you said that there are about a thousand Di people in the city responsible for monitoring the Xianbei people, right?"
"Indeed!" Cui Yanyou nodded fiercely, he was very sure of this.
"Bros!"
"Put up the stone cannon!" Wang Mi turned around and shouted loudly to the Beifu soldiers.
"Let's go teach the arrogant Di people a lesson!"
If the Di people were closely monitoring the Xianbei army, then the distance between the two legions would not be too far apart.
The Xianbei people used the watchtower as a coordinate to send a signal to the Jin army outside the city. As long as they threw stone cannons in the direction of the watchtower, they could deal a heavy blow to the Qin soldiers and relieve the Xianbei army from the siege.
Wang Mi calculated it with his fingers and realized that the deal was not a loss!
The Beifu soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, were all in place. Liu Yu, who was originally commanding the cavalry, also jumped forward first and stood next to the stone artillery convoy.
"Adjust the range!"
"Throw stone cannons at the watchtower!" Liu Yu gave the order. Wang Mi stood behind the stone cannon cart and stood with his fists clasped.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
The Beifu soldiers rose into the sky with a shocking loud noise. The soldiers from Beifu were not just pretending, nor were they trying to convey a message. They were really going to launch an attack.
A string of stone cannons, dozens of them in total, flew into Xiangyang City at the same time!
Anyway, it is not Wang Mi's turn to charge into the battle now. There are fierce generals everywhere in front of him, and they will never give up the opportunity to him.
Xiao Wang also always finds something to do for himself.
All the stone cannons that could be used were pulled out by Wang Mi, and they were lined up in a row at the back of the battle formation.
The ostentation was really too big!
Wang Mi was so excited that he rushed up and down. The stone cannons were put in place, and the officials were also ready. The scene of more than a dozen stone cannons pointing at the Xiangyang City Gate at the same time was quite shocking.
Wang Mi waved his hand, and the officers and generals threw their weapons at Xiangyang City at the same time!
Those huge stone cannons were thrown into the sky by the stone bowl, drawing a beautiful arc. Unfortunately, that beauty was fleeting.
That beauty carries with it a fatal danger!
jump jump jump!
When the stone cannon fell, the Qin soldiers were completely unprepared and were immediately smashed to pieces.
"what happened?"
"The Jin army actually started throwing stone cannons!"
"Run!"
"Get back quickly!"
Wang Mi's inference was correct. Behind Qixia Gate, about half a mile away, the Di Qin army was watching the excitement.
The Xianbei Army in front was fighting desperately to defend Qixia Gate, but behind them, the real owner of the city did not move a finger, let alone fight.
Die!
These hateful Xianbei people!
Go to hell!
The sooner the better!
There was Commander Fu Rui at the main gate. Liang Cheng was happy and free, minding his own business and led a group of soldiers to Qixia Gate to watch the fun.
Liang Cheng has an extremely dark heart. He is happy when others are unlucky, but when he is down and out, he will never allow others to laugh.
Especially Murong Chui, who was brave and good at fighting, was a thorn in his side.
He wished that Murong Chui would be unlucky, so that a huge hidden danger would be eliminated in Xiangyang City.
Now that the Jin army is attacking the city, Liang Cheng thinks that the time has come, and hopes that the Jin army and the Xianbei people will fight each other, and Di Qin can profit from it.
After consuming the effective forces on both sides, Liang Cheng felt that he was just waiting for the Jin army and the Xianbei army to be defeated, and the Di Qin soldiers would send out most of them to annihilate them in one fell swoop!
enemy!
Regardless of whether they are Jin people or Xianbei people, they are all enemies of Di Qin!
This point will not be misunderstood by all Di Qin soldiers in the city.
According to the previous script, the Jin army also threw stone cannons into the city from time to time to attack the Xianbei people and delay their offensive.
Seeing the spectacular sight of those heavy stone cannons falling on the heads of the Xianbei people, Liang Cheng felt so happy that he died.
However, as happy as I am, I feel extremely happy and sad.
Not long after, a string of stone cannons rose into the air, and without Liang Cheng being prepared, they flew straight towards the place where the Qin soldiers were stationed!
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Until the stone cannons had flown into the city and appeared on top of the Qin army, Liang Cheng was still confused. He simply did not believe that what he was seeing would happen to him!
how can that be possible?
Liang Cheng was still doubting his life, but the giant stone cannon did not have the compassion to give him time to think about it. At the moment when he hesitated, the stone cannons began to fall one after another.
The Di Qin soldiers beside Liang Cheng were smashed to pieces in an instant. Many of them were crushed into pies by the huge rocks before they even realized what happened.
Even more terrifying things are yet to come.
I don't know what went wrong, but the stone cannons thrown by the Jin army were large and small, with different weights.
Although some stone cannons are small, their attack power is not weak at all.
Generally speaking, stone cannons mainly use their own weight to siege cities. The heavier something falls from a high altitude, the greater the dive force generated and the greater damage it can cause to the enemy.
This damage, if put on the battlefield, would naturally crush a large area to death!
At first glance, the lethality of the light stone cannons was much weaker, but when these small stone cannons actually fell to the ground, the Di Qin soldiers were shocked to discover that the truth was completely different!
These smaller stone cannons should not be underestimated at all!
They fall from the sky, and because they are not that heavy, they can often only crush one or two people. They cannot crush them to death, but can only injure them.
But this is not the point. The point is that these small stone cannons were polished very smooth. After falling from the sky, they rolled all the way into the city.
The speed was not slow at all. Many Di Qin soldiers with fast legs and feet were not implicated by the boulder for a while. Before they could get away with it for a long time, they were chased by the boulder again.
The round boulders rolled all the way along the Xiangyang City Avenue, which was not flat and had a slight slope, as if they were evil ghosts collecting debts or living zombies chasing the fleeing Di Qin soldiers.
Soldiers on horses might be better off, at least they can run faster and won't be overtaken by rolling boulders.
