Catapults were placed in four rows, twenty-five in each row, a full hundred, each catapult was operated by ten Western Qin infantrymen, and ten large food prisoners carried fire oil bombs on the side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The trebuchet began to be fixed on the ground under the influence of the Western Qin infantry, and the parts on the vehicle were quickly assembled, one after another trebuchet was installed and formed, and each trebuchet was safely completed, and the flag bearer in charge of giving the order gave the flag to the commander to indicate that it had been assembled and could be projected.

After all the trebuchets were fully equipped, the commander sent someone to report to Zhao Ziliang: "King Qiqi, all the hundred trebuchets are safe, and they can throw fire oil bombs at any time, whether to drop fire oil bombs immediately, please give the king an order!" ”

"One hundred trebuchets go into battle together to attack the city, this is the largest scale of this king's army battle for so many years, in the past, we carried out a siege with thirty trebuchets is already very remarkable, now we can put a hundred trebuchets on the battlefield at a time, the progress is still great!"

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, since everything is ready, let's start, and give Zilz and the stubborn soldiers and civilians in the city one by one!" ”

"Yes, King!"

When the trebuchet commander saw the banner on the platform, he immediately drew his waist knife and raised it above his head and shouted: "The king has an order, the trebuchet is ready to be fired, and the fire bomb is on-"

The weight on each trebuchet was quickly lifted up by four big men with a winch, a soldier holding a fire oil bomb placed in a barbed wire net pocket at the other end of the firing lever, and a torch ignited the fuse of the fire oil bomb, and with a "boom", the whole body of the fire oil bomb burned, and the smoke was billowing with anger.

The standard-bearer waved the flag to the commander, "The fire bomb is ready!" ”

Almost at the same time, even if there were lagging behind, the difference was only two or three seconds, and all the fire oil bombs of a hundred trebuchets were ready, and the commander immediately cut down the command knife in front of him: "Fire!" ”

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

"Huhuhuhu・・・・・・"

One by one, the oil bombs rose into the sky, dragging out the tail wings of thick black smoke that were flaming red, and the soldiers of the Great Food Army on the city wall were seriously like the end of the world, they had seen so many and so large oil bombs for the first time, and they had never seen such a huge scene in their lives.

"Oh, Allah, bless us!" All the Great Food Generals on the city wall had frightened expressions on their faces.

Zilz saw countless fire oil bombs flying in the sky, his face was solemn, and he let out a loud roar: "Retreat! Retreat all! ”

After shouting, Zilz took the guards and hid in the city tower, and the other nearby big food generals hid under the battlements, and many soldiers who were far away stood in place stupidly because they didn't get orders, and only a few people hid first regardless of whether they had military orders or not.

Some of the big food soldiers who didn't hear the military order and stood stupidly in place suffered on the spot, and the fire oil bombs fell from the sky, and one percent fell on the city wall, and after smashing it, a fire ignited instantly, engulfing the surrounding big food soldiers and the materials defending the city, three percent fell outside the city or smashed on the city wall, sixty percent flew into the city wall, and the nearby houses and some big food soldiers walking around were engulfed in the fire.

"Ahh

Zhao Ziliang used the telescope to see that the first batch of fire oil bombs was launched and landed on the city wall, and he felt that the effect was not bad, after all, this was the first wave of launch, it was a visual distance, and it was already very remarkable to have this effect without calibrating the launch parameters.

After having the landing point of the first batch of fire oil bombs as a reference, the observers of the Western Qin Army who stood at a high place to observe immediately reported the landing point of the fire oil bombs, and reported the verification parameters one by one, and the soldiers responsible for checking the firing moment parameters immediately adjusted the parameters, and soon all the fire parameters of the trebuchets were adjusted, and the commander saw the flags played by the flag-bearers of the trebuchets, and immediately ordered the second wave of launch preparations.

"General, the second wave of fire and oil bombs is all ready, ready to be launched at any time!"

The commander held the command knife and swung it downward, "Fire!" ”

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

The second wave of fire and oil bombs was launched in an instant, and the tail wing of the smoke rose into the sky, and the end came again, and the big food army on the city wall just stretched out its head to observe, and saw the second wave of fire oil bombs flying, shouting: "Oh, Allah bless!" ”

"Bang, clang, clang・・・・・・" One by one, the fire oil bombs smashed on the city wall.

The fire on the city wall increased several times at once, almost all the equipment and supplies for defending the city were ignited, and the entire southern city wall was shrouded in flames.

"This time, thirty percent of the fire oil bombs fell on the city wall, and the accuracy was good! Then adjust the firing parameters and continue to fire fire oil bombs! Zhao Ziliang observed and ordered.

"Yes, King!"

Zilz saw that the city wall was full of raging fire, and the materials piled up on the city wall were all burning except for rolling stones and boiling water, and many soldiers were engulfed in the fire, and there was no room for anyone on the city wall to be left behind, so they could only wait for the fire to be extinguished before coming up.

Zilz's face was miserable, he had to reluctantly order the temporary abandonment of the city wall defense, let the soldiers all retreat to the city to standby, the city wall was full of fires, the temperature was already very high, and people couldn't stay on it at all.

A large food soldier with a black and gray face ran down the stone stairs from the city wall with weapons in his hands, and after getting out of the hot city wall, everyone gasped for breath and breathed fresh air.

"Poof!"

What was that? Zilz, who had just run down the city wall, stopped with his guards, turned his head to look back, and saw a huge crossbow arrow shining on the city gate, and before he and all the soldiers of the Great Food Army around him could react, a succession of crossbow arrows shot through the thick city gate.

Zilz's face turned pale, "Allah, what kind of crossbow arrow is this, which can shoot through such a thick city gate?" ”

There seemed to be some smell of burning in the air, and one of the generals suddenly shouted: "Not good, General, they have added flammable materials to the crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows are set on the city gate, and the flammable materials on the shafts of the arrows are burning the city gate outside, and this wooden city gate cannot bear the burning at all, and it will soon be on fire!" ”

Once the city gate is broken, the Western Qin army will definitely kill in desperately, and then the city will be full of blood, and the consequences are unimaginable, he shouted in horror: "Go and carry the stones to block the city gate, and they must not be allowed to enter the city!" ”

Faced with the huge threat of the city breaking, all the big food soldiers around them no longer spared their strength, they tried their best to run around to carry stones and bricks, but the stones were carried to the city wall to do defensive materials, bricks are there, but to demolish the houses of the residents in the city, but now where do you care so much, the big food soldiers knocked down the surrounding houses with heavy objects and began to move bricks to the city gate hole, bricks moved over and filled in the city gate hole, the number of people is strong, thousands of people work together, The gates were finally blocked at the moment when the gates were burned, and Zilz finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the city, Zhao Ziliang observed with a telescope that there was only a raging fire on the city wall, and it was already empty, so he immediately ordered: "Now is the right time to take advantage of the opportunity of no one on the city wall to destroy the city wall, pass on the king's military order, let the catapult crew shoot to extend the city, and the king wants to let a sea of fire appear in the city!" Ordered the rushing convoy to start attacking, and gave the king the fastest speed to dig out a few big holes in the adobe brick wall! ”

"Yes, King!"

With the issuance of the military order, the projection of the trebuchet began to extend in the direction of the city, and each trebuchet was ordered to throw freely, but the fired oil bombs had to be fired over the city walls.

One by one, the oil bombs with the tail wings of black smoke flew over the city walls into the city, some smashed on the streets, some smashed on the roofs of houses, some smashed on the mills, and some smashed into the stables.

A row of more than 30 huge rushing cars covered with iron sheets rushed to the city wall under the loud shouts of the soldiers of the Western Qin Army, and the front end of these huge rushing cars carried a huge and thick steel drill bit to hit the angle, this steel drill bit hit the angle with twelve sharp blades, the tip is not extremely sharp and tough, and its ability to penetrate and pierce armor is extremely strong.

"Hey," the Western Qin infantry in the rushing car shouted out the trumpet, and then the rushing car turned to the wall of the city wall with extremely rapid momentum, and with a snort, the huge drill bit of the rushing car crashed into the adobe brick city wall.

"Shake!" Shouted at the squad leader in the car.

More than a dozen Xiqin soldiers in the rushing car immediately collectively grabbed the wheel shaker and shook it vigorously, and the drill bit inserted into the wall immediately turned into the corner, and the soil and dust in the wall fell to the ground one after another, and soon a big hole was drilled, and as the car continued to move forward, the big hole drilled out became deeper and deeper, and this speed was extremely fast.

"Hey, this adobe brick wall is also hollow? Drill a few more holes in the side and make this hole bigger! The team leader found that the drill bit of the rushing car had actually chiseled through a city wall, and immediately ordered to withdraw and drill a hole next to it to expand the results of the battle.

The other Western Qin soldiers in the rushing car also quickly discovered that the city wall was hollow, and they all drilled holes next to it to expand the scope of the holes.

Zhao Ziliang quickly got the relevant report and said happily: "Okay, it seems that the siege on the first day is basically in place, Schneider and Wahid!" ”

Schneider and Wahid stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the city wall in front of him and said: "See, the siege convoy will soon be chiseled through the city wall, bring your men and horses to press up, as long as the city wall is broken, you will take the men and horses to kill into the city from the hole in the city wall!" Yesterday the king said that whoever of you breaks the city first will have a heavy reward, and now it seems that the siege convoy has broken the city, and the king still sets a goal for you, whoever catches or kills Zilz first or captures the city lord's mansion will be rewarded! ”

The two looked at each other, neither of them admitting defeat, and immediately said at the same time: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
