Chapter 373 Jin people and Xianbei people perish together
When the stone cannon is used, Fang hates Shao!
The soldiers walked to a slightly higher hillside in Que'er Mountain, where the giant stone cannon cart was parked.
It cannot be blown by the wind or wet by the rain, and it is full of vigor and vitality.
Just a few days ago, in order to retaliate against the Jin army for occupying the Huikou area, Fu Rui specially sent people to pull this stone artillery cart from Xiangyang City to Que'er Mountain.
Along the way, I suffered a lot.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the stone cannon cart is huge. Although the distance from Xiangyang City to Que'er Mountain is short, the stone cannon cart really suffered a bumpy journey when it arrived here.
If it weren't for the difficult mountain road, Fu Rui would have brought a few more fighters over.
"Brothers, hurry up!"
"Bring all the stone cannons here!"
The Qin soldiers' fighting will was quite strong, but Zhai Sheng still did not relax his guidance.
He took the lead, jumped onto the stone cannon cart, drew his sword and commanded.
Although there was no need for a knife, and there were no Jin troops on Queer Mountain that needed to be killed, Zhai Sheng still felt that it was good to have a knife.
The stone cannons were all ready-made. In the past few days, the Qin soldiers had nothing to do on Queer Mountain. They used local materials and polished many stone cannons that could be used for throwing.
But it also saved Fu Rui's trouble, and he no longer had to transport it from Xiangyang City.
The Qin soldiers carefully moved down the stone cannons piled into a hill, and then rolled them to the side of the stone cannon cart. The Qin soldiers' blood boiled with excitement at the thought of beating the Jin army to pieces.
While they were busy working, they shouted slogans and were full of momentum.
After a while, the stone cannon was placed in place.
Talk back!
Jin army!
Just wait to die!
The Qin soldiers were ready, everything was ready, and they were just waiting to bounce the huge stone bowl!
Operating a stone artillery cart is also a skill. It requires adjusting the shooting distance and being able to skillfully use the mountain for aiming. Ordinary soldiers cannot do this well.
Specialized artillery is also needed.
The firing range has been adjusted, and with just one shot, those Jin troops would be dead!
"Wait a minute!"
Just when the Qin soldiers were ready and waiting to throw the huge stone cannon, Zhai Sheng suddenly spoke, causing the Qin soldiers to stop there.
As for the stone cannon, it could only stay safely in the stone bowl and could not run towards its intended target for the time being.
"General Zhai, what's going on?"
"Is something wrong?"
Although the Qin soldiers asked this, they could not see anything wrong with this set of continuous operations. The brothers had been operating like this in the past few days, but now they are just copying it.
What could be wrong with this?
"There's nothing wrong. It's just that the stone cannon like this won't cause much damage to the Jin army. It's better to change the target."
All the soldiers were puzzled and stared at Zhai Sheng suspiciously.
"There is a Jin army at our doorstep. Wouldn't it be great to attack there?"
"Moreover, we have been throwing stone cannons at the return area for several days, and we are absolutely guaranteed to hit the target."
Although there was no concept of hit rate in ancient times, as the simplest military common sense, ancient soldiers also understood that for weapons such as stone cannons and bows and arrows, accuracy is an element that cannot be ignored.
For the same weapon, just because the people operating it are different and the methods of operation are different, the final results may be very different.
Back at that place, the Qin soldiers had been attacking for several days. It was absolutely guaranteed that the stone cannons thrown were not in vain, and they all hit the big heads of the shameless Jin army.
However, Zhai Sheng now advocates changing the goal.
What is his intention?
Look at these people, what are their expressions?
All the Qin soldiers present looked suspicious, and no one could see Zhai Sheng's good intentions.
Why!
It’s so heartbreaking!
Zhai Sheng put his hand on his heart and lamented for a long time, and finally said: "We should adjust our target and attack Xiangyang City. This is the right way!"
This stone cannon is dead, but the people are alive.
Que'er Mountain is very close to Xiangyang City Tower. At least the area near Qixia Gate in the south must be within the attack range of the stone cannon.
The reason why no stone cannons were thrown in the direction of Qixia Gate before was because the South Gate was still under the control of Di Qin, and the Jin army had no intention of provoking a war.
But now, the war has begun. Having such a sharp weapon as a stone cannon, but having to limit the target to a remote return entrance is obviously overkill.
"Just hit in the direction of Qixiamen!"
"I dare to conclude that the Jin army stationed back at the gate is now likely to launch an attack under the Qixia gate. The Qin army in the city is in urgent need of support from stone artillery carts."
"The Jin army would never have thought that there were stone cannons on Queer Mountain. If our stone cannons were thrown on their heads, it would be equivalent to an alien object from the sky. It is guaranteed to give them a head-on blow."
"The beating made them dizzy!"
"This is also to provide support to the brothers over at Qixia Gate!"
The Qin soldiers had gradually changed their minds and slowly changed the direction of throwing the stone cannon. Zhai Sheng stood aside and looked at their slow operation and was very dissatisfied.
What's the fuss about?
Weren’t you very energetic just now?
"Brothers, work harder. If you throw this stone cannon, maybe it's not just the Jin army who will suffer!"
"Don't forget, the people responsible for the defense at Qixia Gate are from Xianbei!"
Zhai Sheng's words hit the hearts of the Qin Bing brothers hard, Murong Chui!
Xianbei people!
right!
These people also gathered at Qixia Gate!
Smashing them to death is the best way to relieve hatred!
When it comes to the Jin people, the anger value of the Di and Qin soldiers can only be increased to half. If you add the Xianbei people, the anger value is full and the anger of thunder!
The Qin soldiers quickly adjusted the stone cannon into position and pointed it in the direction of Qixia Gate.
No matter it is the Jin army or the Xianbei people, let's all die together!
With a dull loud noise, the stone cannon rose into the sky and flew towards its target...
Will it hit its target?
And can those poor Jin troops survive?
…………
"Slave, wait!"
"Wait for me!"
Liu Yu was eager to fight a tough battle, so he got Wang Mi's permission and rushed to Que'er Mountain without stopping, without caring whether there would be follow-up troop support behind him.
Liu Yu was a fierce man in Jingkou. Not to mention that he had thousands of men under his command, even if he only had a few hundred, with his courage, he would dare to pick up the guy and go up the mountain to teach the Qin soldiers a lesson.
Liu Yu's rapid march caused great difficulties to He Mai behind him.
Although He Mai had some martial arts skills, he was not a strong martial artist after all. He chased all the way, and by the time he reached Liu Yu's side, he was already out of breath from exhaustion.
"Jinnu, you ran too fast!"
“It’s just too much!”
Seeing He Mai, Liu Yu looked confused. He never expected that He Mai would come to support him.
"Did Zhiyuan ask you to come?"
"Of course. Even though Que'er Mountain is located in a remote area, there are quite a few defenders on the mountain. Zhiyuan was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so he asked me to come over to support you."
"Jinnu, don't worry. When we get to the mountain, I will listen to your command. If you tell me to go east, I will go east. I will never hold you back!"
