After Chen Qing left, Zhao Ziliang came to the wall of the camp. Wei Gao, www.biquge.info leading troops to inspect the wall, saw Zhao Ziliang coming over, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "See the king, why did the king come up?" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and asked, "What happened to the big cannibals in the castle?" ”

Wei Gao replied, "It's chaotic, but the young and strong are all organized, and they are reinforcing some weak points in the defense!" We've observed that they're using all the wood they can use, from the wood to the door panels! ”

Zhao Ziliang listened and nodded, and while walking along the wall, he picked up the telescope and looked into the castle, this wall has been built much higher than the castle wall, standing on it, you can see the castle clearly, there is no secret in the city defense at all!

Wei Gao hesitated for a moment and asked: "King, now that these big cannibals have become turtles in the urn, we can completely condescendingly kill in and capture this Bam Castle in one fell swoop, Wei Chen doesn't understand why the king has not ordered to attack!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the big cannibal in the castle: "Look at it, although the castle is chaotic, they are very united, as long as the people who have the ability to work are doing things, this is a group of people with strong willpower, it is not difficult to capture this castle, but it will inevitably pay a great price, do you know what it means to be trapped and fighting?" If we are in the field, of course we can take the initiative to attack, but now in this kind of siege warfare, the number of enemies is several times higher than ours, once they desperately resist, we are only afraid that they will steal chickens and not lose rice! ”

Wei Gao was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "The king is thoughtful!" ”

Zhao Ziliang observed the situation in the castle, there was a relatively large earthen house in the northwest corner of the castle, there were people coming and going, the number of people here was the smallest, but there were many sentry posts around, and those who walked around were carrying supplies.

What is that? It's a sack, what's in the sacks? Zhao Ziliang quickly realized that there seemed to be nothing else in the sack except for grain.

I found a place where the food and grass of the Great Cannibal were stored, but it was very well guarded, and the soldiers stood guard everywhere, and the inspection was extremely strict, and the fine workers who had infiltrated the castle did not even want to enter that area.

Zhao Ziliang immediately turned around and asked, "Liu Dan, has the catapult arrived?" ”

Liu Dan said: "Only six planes were shipped, and they were shipped this morning, with only 30 stone bombs and 30 oil bombs. The rest won't be shipped in the next few days! ”

"Enough!" Zhao Ziliang immediately summoned Erzhu and pointed to the big cannibal food and grass hoarding house and said to him: "Do you see the place where that person comes and goes?" ”

Erzhu nodded and said, "Yes, the number of people there seems to be much sparser compared to other places in the castle, and there are quite a few people walking around!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "This king thinks that there should be a big cannibal grain and grass warehouse, this morning six trebuchets were transported, you immediately organize people to assemble the trebuchets by hand, first test fire with stone bullets, find the right launch angle, calibrate the torque, smash the grain and grass warehouse, and then throw fire oil bombs, burning their grain and grass!" ”

Erzhu's spirit was shocked, "Can the king be sure?" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Let you do it, you will go, don't ink!" ”

"Yes, Wechen will go immediately!"

Under the organization and order of Erzhu, the siege battalion quickly moved six trebuchet parts to the middle of the camp and assembled them, which, according to visual inspection, were the best firing distances and locations. Fortunately, there were only six trebuchets, otherwise the siege camp of the Guards would have been too busy.

The captives had already carried all the stone and oil bombs to the vicinity of the trebuchet position, and the observers had reported the preliminary parameters of the launch to the siege camp commander who had commanded the trebuchet launch.

After all the preparations were completed, Er Zhu quickly returned to the wall and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, everything is ready, you can launch stone bullets at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and waved forward: "Let's start!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Erzhu agreed, turned around and nodded to the herald beside him: "Begin!" ”

The herald immediately raised two small flags and kept waving the flags, and the general of the siege battalion saw the flags and immediately gave the order to launch.

With a loud shout, six strong men raised heavy hammers and smashed down, thousands of pounds of weight fell with a bang, and the stone bullets in the barbed wire pocket at the other end of the lever were thrown out, and these stone bullets rubbed against the air to make a sizzling sound.

Six stone projectiles flew into the sky at one time and fell quickly, all of them fell around the large cannibal grain and grass warehouse in Bam Castle, and the observers standing at a high place to observe the landing point immediately raised a flag to report the location of the stone projectiles, and the generals of the siege battalion asked the trebuchet operators to adjust the position of the moment fulcrum according to the position of the landing points of these stone bullets.

Zhao Ziliang secretly screamed a pity after observing the landing point of the six stone bullets with a telescope, but he did not make a sound, but waited quietly.

After four rounds of test firing, the soldiers operating the trebuchet continued to adjust the firing angle and various parameters, and the six stone projectiles fired in the fifth round all fell on the top of the grain and grass warehouse of the big cannibal. Keep in mind that the highest fortress at the top of Bam Castle is 60 meters above the ground.

At least after five rounds of continuous stone bomb attacks, the outer wall of the fortress where grain and grass was stored was smashed out of some potholes and cracks, but there was far no sign of collapse, and the Western Qin army could only continue to fire stone bullets.

The actions of the Western Qin army soon alarmed the big food army, Manhard got the news when he had already gone through four rounds of test firing, and when he climbed to the top of the highest fortress to see that the grain and grass warehouse was being smashed by the West Qin army's trebuchet, there were exactly six stone bullets smashed on the top of the warehouse, and suddenly the slag flew around, the dust was scattered, and the grain depot was already shrouded in dust, many big food soldiers were smashed to the head of the rat, screaming and shouting in horror, there were many unlucky ghosts who were hit by stone bombs but did not die, lying on the ground and crying wolves.

The big cannibals in the castle panicked, just because the population density was too large, every stone bullet shot into the castle could hit at least one person, although the killing effect was not very good, but the hit rate was almost 100%!

Manhard saw that the soldiers and civilians were scared to run around, and there were many people, which caused a stampede in an instant, and many people were pushed to the ground and were trampled to death and injured by countless feet, he was so anxious that he immediately shouted to the lieutenant general beside him: "Quickly pass the order, everyone should not hide in the castle, all come out, otherwise it will be easy to be buried inside!" Let everyone obey the order, don't push, just squat in place and don't move! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The adjutant immediately turned around and went to execute after agreeing.

But now that a large-scale stampede has occurred, chaos has been caused, and the chaos of tens of thousands of people is definitely not something that can be quelled in a short period of time, especially in this kind of situation where even if you try your best to shout, you can't shout loudly, and the people in the chaos can't hear or listen to it at all!

"What's going on, why do the stone bullets of the Western Qin people always fall on the top of the grain depot?" A subordinate general couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

When Manhard heard this, he immediately looked at it, and sure enough, he saw two consecutive stone bullets falling on the top of the grain depot, his face changed, and he immediately exclaimed: "The people of Western Qin know the location of our grain depot, and they are purposefully launching stone bullets, wanting to collapse our grain depot and bury the grain on the ground!" ”

Another general said: "Your Excellency General, I think I'm afraid that it's not just like this, even if they can smash his grain depot, we can completely clean it up afterwards, and the grain can still be eaten!" ”

At this moment, six fire oil bombs emitting thick smoke rose into the sky together, Manhard and all the generals changed their faces, and Manhard shouted: "No, they are going to burn our grain, send someone to grab the grain, if the grain is burned, we will have nothing to eat, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, General, I'll take someone to get the food out!" One of the generals said yes loudly and ran under the city walls.

・・・・・・Even if there is nothing on the ground, only the oil bomb will be smashed on the ground, and the oil and flammable materials will splash out, which will immediately cause a fire and the stones will burn.

The grain depot that had been smashed burned in an instant, the fire oil splashed everywhere, and the sacks filled with grain that were exposed outside were themselves flammable, and they burned instantly after being stained with fire oil and flammables.

"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!" The soldiers ran over to try to extinguish the fire with shields and weapons, and some even took off their robes and turbans to extinguish the fire, but they didn't know that doing so made the fire burn more and more.

After three rounds of fire oil bombs fell in a row, the general of the Great Food Army, who had brought people to put out the fire, shouted: "Everyone go find something to go to the wellhead to get water to extinguish the fire, go quickly!" ”

It's too late, it's too late, even if it's raining heavily, it may not be able to extinguish the fire, the grain in the granary is completely burned, a large area of billowing smoke rises, the fire spreads quickly, in a very short period of time it covers the entire grain depot, there are some fire-fighting cannibals in the process of fighting the fire were burned clothes, and soon became a fire man, burned to death in a blink of an eye.

When Manhard saw this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he sat down on the wall of the city without any image and cried to the sky: "Why doesn't Allah protect us?" Your people are suffering, why don't you protect us? ”

The fire burned all night and was extinguished the next morning, when all the grain in the depot was burned to starving ashes, and the lieutenant general of the Great Food Army reported to Manhard in despair: "General, all the grain and grass in the depot have been burned!" The soldiers only had enough food left over for three days! ”

Manhard's heart tightened, and he immediately ordered: "Send the order to go down and collect all the food for the distribution of the ration system, hoping to hold out for a few more days until the reinforcements arrive!" ”

The adjutant general reminded: "General, I have to remind you that those people didn't carry food when they came in, and if they had to distribute food to them, no matter how careful they were, the rest of the food would only last for three days!" ”

Manhard's face froze, and it took a long time before he waved his hand: "I know, you can do it!" ”

"Yes!"
