Chapter 710: Divine Thunder Cannon
Yiling City.
The sound of the gong warning suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the city of Yiling, and the city, which had been guarded for months, was once again shrouded in the shadow of war.
A tired soldier rushed to the front line of the West Gate to set up defenses, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Wei troops stood in line and waited for them.
LΓΌ Meng and Wei Yan successively climbed to the top of the city, stood proudly with their swords, and looked at the enemy formation from afar.
"Liu Bei has been silent for ten days, and today he suddenly came to attack, and I don't know what tricks he wants to play." Lu Meng glanced at Wei Yan beside him.
Wei Yan snorted coldly: "In the past few months, Liu Bei hasn't played any tricks, are we afraid that he will play again." β
Lu Meng's expression was shocked, and he nodded and smiled: "Yes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, you and I will join forces, and I am afraid that the big-eared thief will not succeed." β
The two generals smiled proudly and stared at the front of the city with disdain.
In the distance, the battle flags came all over the sky, and the unclear Sergeant Liu spread to the front line of the West Gate like a tide, and the array was completed in a blink of an eye.
There are hundreds of large and small military formations, and the army is mighty, forming a majestic momentum of advancing against Yiling.
At a glance, Liu Jun's lineup is not much different from the previous sieges, and it seems that Liu Bei still intends to use the old routine to attack.
At the head of the city, the Wei army was in high spirits and the fighting spirit was gradually boiling, and they were ready to defeat the enemy attack again.
Enemy Formation Army.
Liu Bei looked at the city from afar, and there was deep jealousy between his eyebrows, and his eyes wanted to swallow and chew the entire city directly.
The siege of the city for several months, until the fall of Sun Ce, failed to capture, the best time has been missed, Liu Beiyan can not be annoyed.
"Pass the order, after capturing Yiling, be sure to capture Lu Meng and Wei Yan alive, and I will personally dispose of them."
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and ordered, his tone was full of hatred, which showed his grudge against those two.
The generals of Liu Jun on the left and right also held grudges, and their anger burned wildly in their chests.
"Lord, it's almost time to push our killer weapon up." Fa Zheng reminded.
Liu Bei nodded, raised his whip and said, "Order, push the divine thunder cannon up for me." β
The order was handed down, and the flag shook like the wind.
After the military formation, the behemoths were slowly pushed up to the front of the formation, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred huge objects were lined up on the west gate of Yiling City, lined up.
The huge thing was huge, the size of seven or eight oxen, and the height was also a few feet high, and even the view of the soldiers behind it was obscured.
Sergeant Liu looked at this behemoth, and couldn't help but let out a burst of shock, and after a while, he barely recognized that this behemoth seemed to be very similar to the trebuchet.
However, these special trebuchets are several times the size of ordinary trebuchets, and a huge wooden box is hung at one end of the throwing arm, which is full of stones.
At the head of the city, when the soldiers of the Wei army saw this scene, they did not change their color, and their faces were surprised.
Wei Yan frowned, suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he pointed and said, "Ziming, look, what are those things?" β
Lu Meng was also full of suspicion, and stared at it for a long time before saying: "It looks a bit like a trebuchet, but how can a trebuchet be so big, and how can such a heavy throwing arm be launched?" β
The two glanced at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.
Wei Yan slammed his fist on the battlements and muttered, "I have a bad premonition......
Lu Meng also clenched the hilt of the sword, and said in a deep voice: "At this point, I can only take one step at a time, I want to see what is unusual about Liu Bei's new trebuchet." β
Tom tom!
In the Liu army's formation, the war drums have been beaten.
On the front line of the city, Wei Yan Lu Meng and their thousands of Wei soldiers subconsciously clenched their swords and guns, and with a little uneasiness, they watched the enemy's trebuchet begin to move slowly.
Liu Junzhen, a giant trebuchet, has begun to load stone bullets, and the weight and volume of stone bullets are almost five times that of ordinary stone bullets.
Looking at the huge stone bullets, which were put into the basket with great difficulty by the soldiers, Liu Bei was sweating in his heart, doubting whether such a heavy stone bullet could be loaded into it.
"Ma Jun, what kind of 'divine thunder cannon' that you and Kong Ming's military division improved, is it really feasible?" Liu Bei looked at the young mechanical genius, and there was a little worry in his eyes.
The young Ma Jun smiled faintly and said confidently: "Don't worry, the subordinates dare to guarantee with the head of the item, there is absolutely no problem." β
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes looked at the two hundred divine thunder cannons again, forcibly dispelling the doubts in his heart, and there was only firm belief between his eyebrows.
In an instant, the two hundred divine thunder cannons were already loaded with stone bullets.
"Lord, it's time to launch." Ma Jun arched his hand.
Liu Bei's gaze extended to the city, looking at the banners of the characters "Wei" and "Lu", and his eyes burned with deep hatred.
After taking a deep breath, he waved his horsewhip and shouted in a vengeful tone: "Divine Thunder Cannon, launch, bomb Yiling City to the ground for me!" β
Tong! Tong! Tong!
The originally gentle sound of war drums suddenly became rapid, and the signal for the attack was issued.
The pitchers, who had been prepared early, immediately tapped the bolt with a hammer, and the high-hanging weight box immediately fell down, pulling the huge long throwing arm to warp up.
Woo β
The huge stone bullet in the basket broke through the wind, and roared towards the city with the sound of a ghost crying wolf.
Almost at the same time, two hundred stone projectiles rose into the air, cutting a long arc, like falling meteors in the sky, shooting towards the city.
At the head of the city, the Wei soldiers immediately changed color, and at the same time let out an exclamation.
Lu Meng's face also changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "How is it possible, such a big stone bullet can be launched!?" β
Wei Yan's expression also changed in shock, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly shouted: "The whole army avoids bombs!" β
Before he could finish speaking, he hurried down to the battlements.
Lu Mengyu reacted, didn't say a word, and hurriedly squatted down.
The tens of thousands of Wei soldiers along the line of the city didn't care much, and crouched down in pieces to avoid the huge bombs that attacked.
In the next instant, the group of bullets landed.
Bang bang bang!
Click!
The loud sound of the heavens and the earth cracking swallowed up all the sounds of heaven and earth, as if the end had come.
The huge city tower was penetrated by a huge stone bullet in an instant, and the temple pillars as thick as an arm's length were directly broken by several pieces, and the city tower that had not fallen for several months collapsed in a blink of an eye, crushing all the soldiers who had no time to escape under the ruins.
The battlements built everywhere were directly smashed easily, and they couldn't protect the Wei army hiding behind at all, and even the people and walls were directly smashed into pieces.
In the loud bang, the screams were mixed, but they were quickly drowned in the dust and fog in the sky.
Lu Meng, who was crouching on the ground, even saw with his own eyes that a soldier not far from his side was directly smashed into meat cakes by stone bullets on the wall of people, and even bones were smashed into pieces.
"What kind of trebuchet is this, how can it be so powerful......" Lu Meng gasped, his face turned white.
