Gunpowder can't be used for the time being, so I can only think of other siege equipment.

Nowadays, there are a lot of siege equipment, such as ladders, trebuchets and so on.

However, these ladders and trebuchets were a little behind compared to what Qin Tian knew.

For example, the ladder of Datang, Datang's ladder is already advanced, and it is not like in the TV series, it is a ladder, Datang's ladder can be fixed on the wall, but the slope is still a bit steep, not to mention that it is not easy to climb, and it is not particularly stable, if it can be as stable as an uphill road, and it is very wide, it is relatively easy to attack the city tower.

And in Qin Tian's golden finger, there really is such a cloud ladder.

Then there is the trebuchet, Datang's trebuchet is also relatively simple, the range is not far, and the strength is not large enough, if these can be strengthened, whether it is a siege or a battle between the two sides, it is definitely a powerful weapon.

With this understanding, Qin Tian basically had a direction and a goal.

It's unlikely that you'll be able to create new siege machines, so strengthen the existing ones and make them more powerful.

After making up his mind like this, Qin Tian sent someone to get the things he needed.

Then, he spent a few days obsessing with an improved version of the ladder and trebuchet.

During these few days, the Tang army did not move.

In Jingzhou City, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Tang army is not good at attacking the city, and it is a good thing that it does not dare to attack the city easily."

Li Hedong was a little proud, but Jiang Buhe said beside him: "Lord Wang, that Qin Tian is by no means an easy person, it is better not to underestimate the enemy, and on the side of the city tower, it is still necessary to strengthen patrols." ”

Li Hedong nodded, Jiang Buhe's suggestion, he felt that it was still very reasonable, he Li Hedong was not the kind of stupid and complacent person.

The security on this side of Jingzhou City is still tight, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

A few days later, Qin Tian finally finished the siege equipment.

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang came to watch, and after watching it, they were a little speechless.

"Master Hou, this is your siege machine, isn't this a ladder and trebuchet?" Hou Junji pursed his lips, and Su Dingfang snorted next to him, laughing straight.

Cheng Chumo and the others were also dumbfounded, they originally thought that Qin Tian could make something powerful, but it turned out that they were just the ladders and trebuchets they saw on weekdays.

Everyone couldn't look at it, but Qin Tian smiled: "Do you think this is the same as the previous ladder and trebuchet?" ”

"Isn't it different?"

"Of course it's different, come on, stretch this ladder open."

An order, immediately someone ran to open the ladder, so open, everyone was stunned for a moment, because, after the ladder was opened, one side was supported on the city wall, and the other side was directly in contact with the ground, forming a small slope, and this slope was much smoother than their previous ones.

If this thing is erected outside the city tower, it is equivalent to having a slope, and with this slope, is it not easy to attack it?

Everyone was amazed, but before everyone could speak, Qin Tian ordered again: "Test the trebuchet." ”

Someone put a carriage in front of him, and then used a trebuchet to throw it, and after a moment the huge stone was put on, he let go and flew out directly, and the stone was impartial, and just hit the carriage.

Only a bang was heard, and the entire carriage was smashed in half.

Its power is so great, although it is not comparable to ammunition, but in the eyes of Hou Junji and others, it is already very shocking.

"It's so powerful, if this is smashed on the city tower, not to mention smashing a hole in the city tower, and smashing the people on the city tower into meat sauce, there should be no problem, right?"

Hou Junji said, but Su Dingfang couldn't help but speak: "If you encounter cavalry, this trebuchet is also very useful. ”

When encountering cavalry, such a big stone can be smashed down even with men and horses, right?

Shocked, shocked.

"Brother Qin, with these things, let's attack the city tomorrow." Cheng Chumo was already a little impatient, he could now imagine the siege of the city tomorrow.

Everyone else also looked at Qin Tian, with these things, it would be easy to capture Jingzhou City tomorrow.

Qin Tian smiled: "It is true that the city can be attacked tomorrow, but some more arrangements need to be made, tomorrow, I will send someone to fly over Jingzhou City in a hot air balloon, and then let them burn the Chu Wangfu with rockets." ”

"Burn the Chu Palace?" Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Qin Tian was going to do, but Su Dingfang was more intelligent, and said, "Divert the tiger from the mountain?" ”

If the palace of the king of Chu is on fire, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, will inevitably send people to fight the fire, at this time, they can lead the troops straight to Jingzhou City, reducing the pressure of defending the city, and it will be much easier for them to take it.

Su Dingfang's words made everyone immediately understand, and Qin Tian's side also nodded: "Yes, transfer the tiger away from the mountain." ”

After the people said so, they waited only for tomorrow.

After one night, early the next morning, the cicadas chirped unconsciously, Qin Tian immediately sent more than 20 people to fly over Jingzhou City in a hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon was huge, and after it flew into the air, it quickly caught the idea of the people in the city.

"It's not good, Tang Jun has dispatched a hot air balloon, go to the prince."

A rebel shouted loudly, and then hurried towards the palace of the king of Chu, but by the time he arrived, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, had already seen a hot air balloon in the sky.

And next to him, stood Jiang Buhe.

"Coming, follow these hot air balloons all the time, and after they land somewhere, they will be killed directly."

In Li Hedong's opinion, these hot air balloons sent by Qin Tian may have wanted to come to the inside and outside, but he sent people to follow these people, and whoever came down would kill them, and he saw how Qin Tian could come to the inside and outside.

Even, as long as these hot air balloons fall, they can immediately launch them with sharp arrows and shoot these people to death, and if they can't shoot to death, they will shoot hot air balloons and make them fall from the air and fall to their death.

It's just that when Li Hedong gave such an order, Jiang Buhe frowned: "Lord Wang, the situation is not quite right, there are only these hot air balloons, Qin Tian shouldn't be stupid enough to use them to meet the outside, right?" ”

There are too few people, it is impossible, when Jiang Buhe said this, he suddenly found that those hot air balloons were hovering over the Chu Palace.

"Not good!" Jiang Buhe said a word, and just as he finished saying this, one rocket after another flew from the sky.

Suddenly, the entire Chu Palace's mansion soon became a sea of fire.
