Nothing to say all the way. Lu Guang, Jiang Yu and others came to Shihaizi, but seeing that the more than 300 soldiers who had been transferred before were all in good spirits, the shape of the boulder cannon that Duan Ye said at the moment seemed to be smaller than the previous catapult, but looking at the stones in the pocket of the long arm, it was indeed much larger than the catapult that he had seen before.

Jiang Yu also looked at the so-called sharp weapon, and when he saw that it was actually another catapult, he couldn't help pouting, this thing existed in the Central Plains many years ago, and the Western Regions are no strangers, smashing people is indeed very threatening, and it can't smash the city wall.

was breathing a sigh of relief, but Jiang Yu felt a hot gaze sweeping on him, like a rough hand touching, and raised his eyes angrily, sure enough, Duan Ye, who had been looking at him shyly just now, couldn't help but throw away a roll of his eyes.

After a courteous conversation, Duan Ye said: "This time the Qiuzi envoy came, Duan Ye specially prepared some unique programs, please take a look at the festival and the jade envoy. ”

Lu Guang nodded with satisfaction, and led everyone to continue walking south with Duan Ye.

In front of it, there is a wall, although it is only a few zhang, but it is as high as three zhang. It is completely set up according to the specifications of Qiuzi, Duan Ye is just a pity that there are no bricks here, and there is no time to fire them on site. But then again, there's no need to waste bricks at all.

Obviously, this wall is the target.

"Under the section, everyone, although this wall is not made of bricks and stones, and the soil is also taken from the locality, but in order to be strong, the lower officials take the soil after boiling water and steaming the soil, try their best to tamp it, even if the cone is tied together, and the inch is re-rammed, just a few feet of land, but let the brothers work hard for half a month, take turns to build, there is this section, please check with the messenger under the section."

Someone had already carried a tray with two glittering awls on it. Lu Guang picked one up, walked into the city wall with great interest, gently stroked it with his left hand, and sighed: "Sure enough, it is extremely dense." After that, he suddenly shouted, but when he saw the cold light flashing, the awl only left a circular shallow pit on the wall, and Lu Guang's face was already a little red. You know, after all, this is a city of earth, not bricks and stones.

"Good! All right! Lu Guang put down the awl and laughed loudly, "It seems that Duan joined the army, you are really knowledgeable and talented, even the temporary construction of the city, can make this short wall so solid." "Lu Guang's martial arts are still very good, his strength is especially great, he can pull two strong bows, and now he is struggling to pierce it, but he didn't penetrate it, which shows that this wall is still very hard.

Everyone also applauded, and Duan Ye saw that Jiangyu's expression was different, so he smiled and said, "Jiangyu girl, would you like to give it a try?" ”

Jiang Yu forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said lightly: "The divine power under the festival, the little woman is naturally inferior, since the festival can't be cone into an inch, the little woman naturally can't either." But in her heart, Jiang Yu was a little worried. Obviously, this wall is still very strong, after all, the earth city is earth, and the awl is so sharp, it stands to reason that it will not be so shallow, unless it is extremely solid. And the density of this wall will not be worse than that of the Qiuzi wall, so today their purpose is obvious, to use those catapults to smash this wall, and by the way, to demonstrate.

However, he was still very familiar with the situation in Qiuzi City, and the stones thrown out by those catapults were nothing more than leaving a mark on the earthen wall, which could not hurt the roots. Could it be that this man-made one can smash the city wall?

Nodding, Duan Ye continued: "That being the case, Jiexia and everyone have already experienced it, and the strength of this wall is no less than that of a city. However, Duan Ye Bingjie's order, and the craftsmen in the army studied the wonder of the catapult day and night, and finally got a sharp weapon, today can show its prestige here, please save your life! ”

Lu Guangyunzhi. So Duan Ye ordered the flag to move, and the soldiers who had already practiced many times quickly took their places, and more than ten boulder cannons surrounded the wall in an arc, with a distance of more than 60 zhang. In fact, Duan Ye privately calculated that at about 80 zhang, the power of the boulder cannon could still be guaranteed, but this time in order to achieve a shocking effect, it was still a little closer.

After the debugging was completed and confirmed, Duan Ye said: "Your Majesty, please test fire a shot before firing a salvo, so that you can see the real thing." ”

Lu Guang smiled and said, "It's okay, since this matter is made possible by you, it is natural to make the decision together." ”

Duan Ye no longer shirked, raised the order flag with one hand, pointed to the sky, and shouted: "No. 8 machine, prepare!" ”

Car No. 8 was in the middle, facing the earthen wall, Duan Ping pulled down the pole arm and stuck it with a fixed sliding hook, and then several soldiers stood on a high bench and quickly filled the basket in front of him with stones, and at the same time Duan Ping personally tied an 80-pound stone to the grenadier belt at the long end. When the rod arm bent slightly downward, showing that the counterweight was in place, Duan Ping shouted: "The No. 8 machine is in place!" ”

80 pounds of stones, Duan Ping can handle it alone, and it seems that his strength is really not small. Seeing that everything was stopped, Duan Ye ordered his flag to split, and shouted: "Release!" ”

Duan Ping pulled the rope violently, the spring was loosened, the hook was released, the stone basket on the side of the short arm fell rapidly, the rod arm rotated rapidly, and when the long arm was almost vertical, the stone was quickly thrown. When everyone stepped forward to take a look, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Originally, it was difficult for the awl to pierce into half an inch, and there was a large pit nearly a foot thick, and at the same time, there were many cracks in the surrounding earth rammed, obviously this stone smashed away, and the momentum was extremely great, completely penetrating the internal structure of the earth rammer.

The solidity of the earthen wall lies in the fact that the soil is soft, and if it is compacted, it is hard, and the force can be divided, so it can resist strong attacks. To break down the rammer, the key is not the strength, but the instantaneous speed, that is, the so-called relationship between momentum and impulse.

Jiang Yu is especially out of shape, no matter what, he can always maintain a dignified demeanor, but now he looks at it, that kind of catapult is so powerful, I am afraid that Guizi City will be difficult to resist, what should I do now.

Lu Shuihu's sons like to fight with iron horses, but they can't do anything about Jiancheng, and now they are quite surprised to see this catapult smashing a stone into it, and it has such an effect.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and after retreating to the same place, Duan Ye ordered a salvo again. Even though they were already mentally prepared, they were all extremely shocked when they saw that the soldiers had completed their preparations almost at the same time, pulled the ropes at the same time, and more than ten boulders flew up at the same time.

The smoke and dust had cleared, and the earthen walls, which had previously looked quite majestic, were crumbling, with cracks and pits everywhere. Everyone has seen the solidity of Fangcai, and now the appearance after being smashed is also clearly there. In the face of technology, even if it is an impregnable wall, it is by no means indestructible.

"The Chinese army, hundreds of brothers in the left battalion, work hard for more than a month, practice all day long, the craftsmen in the army work together, work day and night, and finally get this sharp weapon, please be a soldier craftsman, please merit!" Duan Ye came out and knelt on one knee and said aloud when everyone was smacking his tongue.

Lu Guang also woke up from the excitement, he has been on the battlefield for 20 years, what has he not seen? But such a sharp weapon is really unheard of. Now that Duan Ye is asking for credit for them, Lu Guang also pushed the boat down the river and said: "God bless Daqin, you have this sharp weapon, and you will be honored with this section Your Majesty, and I will ask for credit for you." Before His Majesty's reward, this section can be the master, reward 100 catties of copper, 1,000 horses of cloth, and 10 catties of salt and tea! ”

"Thank you for the reward!" Everyone is very happy, Lu Guang is generous enough, even if these rewards are evenly distributed, he can buy some land and property after retiring from the army and live a good life.

"As for Duan joining the army, there is another appointment, but you are relieved, this section will not treat the meritorious servant badly, ah, hahahaha." Lu Guang laughed.

Duan Ye naturally didn't have any opinions. People at Lu Guang's level also know that such talents can not be bought by relying on something outside their bodies. Probably now, I will be able to have more counselors.

At this moment, he heard Jiangyu say: "Under the festival, the heavenly army is mighty, Jiangyu knows, Qiuzi is willing to accept the people to surrender, as a vassal of the Heavenly Empire, the three conditions under the festival, Qiuzi is willing to bear, but he is willing to avoid the disaster of swords." ”
