Chapter 1258: Damn Hao Xiaoren (2)
In modern society, there is a saying that the ideal is very full, xt download. The update is so fast. (Read the latest chapter for the first time)
After recruiting a large number of potters, the pottery bombs were successfully fired. In the hands of the carpenter, the catapult machine also made more than a hundred and ten frames, and then put them into the battlefield.
For the pottery bomb, the tower is very satisfied, because the clay outside the city is easy to take, the amount is sufficient, the quality of the fire is very good, and the city 'shot' out is better. In order to show off, the Taoists even put a glaze on the pottery, which looks like a handicraft.
The problem was on the catapult side, which Zhunta thought was nothing more than a shelf, and then a long pole with a long rope tied to one end of the pole
。 When used, more than a dozen pull ropes and drive the long pole to 'shoot' the pottery bullet hanging in the pocket at the other end of the city wall.
However, the trebuchet 'shot' the first time it went wrong. The Huai'an city wall was too high, and in order to increase the range of the projectile, the craftsman added a rope between the tail of the connecting rod and the pocket containing the pottery bullet, so that the cannon stone could be thrown out immediately when the "shot" was fired.
As soon as the cannon stone was thrown out, it lost its accuracy due to improper control, and fell directly into the crowd of Qing soldiers and smashed a shield.
The unlucky sword and shield hand was naturally directly smashed to pieces, and his mouth spat blood and fell to the ground. Fragments of the pottery bomb flew in all directions, stabbing the surrounding soldiers with blood on their faces, and the team was a 'chaos' and 'chaos'.
When the 'shot' was fired again, the pottery bomb was not far away, and only flew out two feet away and fell to the ground.
At this time, all the Qing troops were dumbfounded.
Zhun Ta couldn't figure out how the catapult designed by Hao Xiaoren could 'shoot' from the city, and the cannon stones could easily cross the city wall and accurately fall to the crowd outside the city.
This...... The cannon is still powerful, and it's already a goddamn demon.
After cutting down a few craftsmen, the craftsmen were also frightened, and simply continued to increase the size of the catapult. In the end, it's a giant like a watchtower. Moreover, the pottery bomb was finally able to 'shoot' smoothly into the city wall.
It's just that 'manpower' is too labor-intensive to 'operate' a machine the size of a house, and it takes half a day to prepare for each 'shot', which requires 30 people to work hard at the same time, and it is inconvenient to move, so it can only be used as a fixed battery.
Suddenly hit by a pottery bomb, the smoke and dust at the head of the city were 'chaotic', and the Shandong army was constantly directly bombarded off the wall.
Seeing that the trebuchet worked so well, all the Qing troops cheered.
Zhun Ta also has a feeling of raising his eyebrows, what better feeling is to repay the other body in the other way? Busy urging his subordinates to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and strive to enter Huai'an in the shortest possible time.
But at this time, a scene that made him vomit blood happened. The enemy's trebuchets began to return fire, and this time they 'fired' not pottery bombs, but jars of saltpeter, sulfur and kerosene.
This kind of cannon stone is also vicious, as soon as it falls to the ground, it burns into a piece, and in an instant, there is a raging sea of fire under the city wall, and everywhere there are terrible screams of the burned soldiers
。
Looking at the sea of fire, those huge trebuchets that had consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and time had already emitted white smoke all over their bodies, and burned into huge torches in the blink of an eye.
"Damn Hao villain, damn Liu 'Chun'." Junta's face began to drip blood, and he was completely dead to his craftsmen. Weapons such as the city's counterweight trebuchet can only be made by demons like Hao Xiaoren, and others don't even think about it.
With a calm face, he ordered all the carpenters and potters to be gathered together and 'forced' them to attack the city. Anyway, they are Ming people, and they are Huai'an people, if Liu 'Chun' still wants to gain a foothold in Huai'an, he will not dare to make a move against this kind of Tu tribe. Otherwise, even if he guards Huai'an, he will be full of enemies in the future.
It's a pity that he still underestimated Hao Xiaoren's ruthlessness.
Hao Xiaoren couldn't control so much, and a rain of arrows went down, and he easily 'shot' thousands of craftsmen to kill.
Zhun Ta didn't know if Liu 'Chun' would be able to gain a foothold in Huai'an in the future, this Hao Xiaoren couldn't control that much, he just wanted Huai'an. Anyway, this city belongs to Sun Yuan, and Liu 'Chun' can't gain a foothold, which is exactly what this villain wants.
The enemy is so ferocious, and the tower is helpless. But he still did not give up, and continued to use the method from the book to attack the city.
For example, send people to pile up a mountain of earth in front of the city wall, and let the archers 'shoot' arrows at the wall. However, Hao villain's method was simpler, and he directly smashed Tushan's archers down with a single cannon. Then he sent people down the city at night, buried thousands of catties of explosives under the dirt mountain, and directly flattened the matter.
Seeing Hao villain using the method of 'hole' land, this incident reminded Zhun Tower. He also dispatched soldiers and horses to start digging tunnels, preparing to dig tunnels directly into the city, and then the army suddenly jumped out of the tunnels, so that Huai'an took it. In order to implement this plan, he deliberately set the tunnel entrance far away, and his movements were very hidden.
Seeing that the tunnel was gradually extending towards Huai'an, Zhun Tower's heart began to be nervous, and he always felt that something would happen to this matter.
Sure enough, when the tunnel dug under the city wall and was only one step away from entering the city, the enemy suddenly appeared. It turned out that they were also digging tunnels in the city, so the tunnels dug by the enemy and us were connected. The soldiers on both sides scuffled and 'messed' together in the pitch-black tunnel, as if two groups of rats fighting for territory had met each other.
It is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army is indeed much higher than that of the Shandong army
。 But in this case, even if you have the martial arts that destroy the world, you can't use it.
After a day of fighting, the tunnels were clogged with corpses. Suddenly, water spurted out of the tunnel. But it was Hao Xiaoren who directly dug several rivers that flowed through the city and directly diverted water into the tunnel.
Pity the hundreds of Qing troops who had already burrowed into the tunnels had no time to escape and drowned directly in the tunnels, and because of the water, the tunnels collapsed in pieces, so that those dead Qing soldiers didn't even have to be buried by people, and they would never see the light of day.
Zhun Ta could not have imagined why the enemy knew that the Qing army would dig tunnels and pinched the time so accurately, it was really incredible.
Later, Zhun Ta learned that it turned out that Hao Xiaoren had already prepared for the Qing army's move of attacking the city in a 'hole', and had already sent a special 'gate' to squat under the city wall and set up a ground to listen. The so-called ground listening is a special thin cylinder, and the cylinder mouth is "covered" with a thin layer of cowhide. In order to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels, dig a deep well at a certain distance behind the city wall, generally the well is two zhang deep, put a drum-shaped new urn, the listener can listen to it in the well support urn, so it is called the urn to listen again.
These Ming soldiers who listened were all people with outstanding ears, lying in the tank day and night, listening to the movements underground. Once the Qing army 'holes' are on the ground, the sound from below can be easily heard through these vats.
According to the reconnaissance center, the reason why Hao Xiaoren 'made' this trick was because he saw a book written by a wise man in ancient Han China, called "Mozi".
The spy also memorized a passage from it, reciting it in front of Zhun Tower, and was so angry that Zhun Tower kicked and broke his 'front' teeth.
All the moves can be said to have been exhausted, and the tower is beyond imagination, and the book he found was also angrily thrown into the fire and burned.
On the contrary, after a month of training in the defensive battle, the Shandong army in the city became more and more handy, especially after Hao Xiaoren designed a large number of strange weapons.
It can be said that the weapons that Hao villain 'made' to defend the city are really exhaustive of human imagination.
The simplest thing is to tie long 'hairy' bamboos to the city wall, and then use a rope to bend them parallel to the city wall. Wait until the Qing army climbs the city wall and cuts the ropes.
Then, the bent 'hairy' bamboos popped out violently, like a huge whip directly 'pumping' the besieging soldiers.
