More than three hundred meters away, on the busy snow, Zheng Bao's water thieves were holding a trebuchet, pulling the rope and pressing the bar, busy getting the trebuchet back into battle. Because the first
The success of the projection, hitting the tower and causing chaos to the enemy, they all saw it, so this group of water thieves are in a good mood now, some even hummed a tune from their hometown. As long as they insist on letting the trebuchet continue to attack, they have seen it
A smooth dawn.
The trebuchet itself is quite bulky. Every time a stone is thrown, quite a few people have to turn the catapult-like thing over again, load it again, and adjust the angle before it can be launched. This is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming.
At the same time, Xu Chu, Wang Ping and others who were lying on the top of the city watched the arrows with explosives shoot far away, and finally staggered and clattered into the snow a few meters away from the trebuchet.
Zheng Bao's water thief saw another one coming, and laughed wildly while mocking: "Damn it, this arrow can still shoot quite far, hahahaha..."
One of the water thieves who saw it patted his companion next to him and said in a sneaky way: "Oh! There's something tied to that arrow."
These water thieves haven't seen clearly the true nature of explosives yet. The arrow just now was far away from them and exploded when it hit the ground. The mines thrown by Xu Zhu were even further away, so they haven't seen clearly the so-called "thunder fire" yet.
"What does it look like? I just think that it can at most cause them to shake, send out a big fireball, and raise a puff of smoke. There is nothing else. It is not as scary as the barbarians said. They now think that the barbarians are exaggerating.
With the power of "thunder and fire", their trebuchet is the most powerful weapon.
At this time, several water thieves saw what was tied to the eagle-feather arrows, and they muttered and walked towards the arrows stuck on the ground.
"Isn't it a surrender letter?"
"Haha... Hey, look at that, you're still getting angry!"
"Coax!" The explosives went off at this time.
When Wang Ping saw that the arrow still hadn't hit the enemy's formation, he couldn't help but sigh. He turned around and asked someone to send iron arrows to him. He wanted to try again quickly.
Cao Zhi also retreated to the battlement immediately after the arrow hit the ground and the explosive had not yet exploded. He did not have time to look at the power of the explosive. He had already turned around to tie the explosive to the iron arrow. He tried to tear the strip of cloth as thin as possible.
Reduce its own weight. "The heavier the weight of the arrow, the more it can improve the flight speed and the accuracy of grasping the direction. Maybe this one can..." Cao Zhibang had not finished thinking while holding the cloth.
At this moment, explosives exploded outside the city. Cao Zhigang muttered, "This fuse is long enough!" In fact, Cao Zhi and the others deliberately selected long fuses when they selected the explosives, in order to ensure that the explosives were not on the city wall.
It explodes in advance.
Just as the loud bang of explosives came from the city, a sling shot flew towards him with a whistling sound. Cao Zhi was tying the explosives and when he heard the whistling sound like a cannonball, he quickly shouted: "Get down!"
quot;
The soldiers in Wang Ping's city learned the lesson this time and immediately fell down on the spot as soon as they heard Cao Zhi's cry.
"Bang!" The earth and rocks flew, and this time the flying stone hit a battlement, making a big hole and killing and wounding several soldiers.
Cao Zhi "poofed" the dust in his mouth, got up, looked up at the battlements that had been smashed open, and cursed: "How the hell did you let Zheng Bao do this?", he didn't care at this time.
We can no longer rescue the wounded soldiers, so we must quickly get rid of this troublesome trebuchet.
Suddenly, Xu Chu, who was lying on the battlement again, burst out laughing like crazy. The disgraced Cao Zhi, Wang Ping and others all glared at him in unison, only to see Xu Chu, shirtless and pointing at the city, still laughing wildly.
Only then did everyone stand up and look down at the city. They saw two enemy "trebuchets" in the distance. One of them had flown more than two feet away from the original place. With its base facing upwards, it hit the crowd, killing and injuring them all.
The reel of a trebuchet was still rolling forward on the snow, and it fell crookedly to the ground for a long time. After a commotion, Zheng Bao's water thieves began to rush over under the command of a leader to capture
The trebuchet turned over.
Everyone was surprised and didn't know what happened. They only heard Xu Chu laugh wildly and said: "These kids are not very good at using this trebuchet. They didn't use iron bolts to fix the base. The trebuchet was lifted up by the blast of our explosives."
, turned around and killed many of his own people, hahaha...".
Cao Zhi understood a little bit. The explosive they fired seemed to be very powerful. It exploded a few meters in front of the enemy's trebuchet. The gas blast actually shook the trebuchet. And the trebuchet was being attacked.
Before overturning, the projectile hand may have just opened the projecting piston, or it may have been shaken and the mechanism opened on its own. It also happened that the vibration generated by the trebuchet itself coincided with the gas generated by the explosive, and the two forces added together.
, that’s why he overturned the huge trebuchet. However, the fired stones hit the battlements accurately. This trebuchet fulfilled his final mission.
After hearing Xu Chu's explanation, everyone couldn't help being surprised and happy. Cao Zhi ran out and saw this weird scene, and felt very funny in his heart.
But then he immediately realized that there was still one trebuchet that had not been dealt with! The other trebuchet was lying quietly on a dark mound. At this time, the enemy was busy moving the damaged trebuchet.
Although no one thought there was one available, we should seize the time to attack the enemy's wall.
"Wang Ping, hurry up, keep shooting, blow up all the enemy's trebuchets, don't aim for accuracy, just hit the trebuchet range, and prevent these bastards from having another chance to throw stones." With this experience.
, the accuracy is negligible, Cao Zhi only requires that the arrow be shot near the trebuchet.
Wang Ping said "Oh", took an iron arrow tied with explosives, and was about to bend the bow to set the arrow. At this time, Cao Zhi noticed the blood on Wang Ping's hand. Cao Zhi shouted "stop" and hurried over to take a look.
Looking at Wang Ping's hands, especially his right hand, the four fingers used to pull the bow have been cut and bleeding. The left hand holding the bow should also be holding the bow too hard to tighten the iron bow and ensure it is stable, and it is deeply cut.
Blood groove mark.
Cao Zhi pulled a strip of cloth and asked Wang Ping to wrap it around him, while asking: "My hands are cut like this, can you still do it? If not, don't force it, let Xu Zhulai do the same."
It was only at this time that Wang Ping realized that his hand was bleeding. He had ignored the pain just now because he was too nervous and too concerned about whether he hit the target. Now, as soon as he wrapped the cloth strip, the slightest pain penetrated into his heart. But he still said he didn't care.
He replied: "It's okay, just a little injury, nothing to worry about."
Xu Zhugang was so excited that he wanted to try an iron bow. As soon as he touched the edge of the iron bow, Wang Ping snatched it away. He narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Don't even think about it!"
