Volume 1, Chapter 86: The fierce battle at Gushi (2)

Qin Zaidao watched with satisfaction the advancement of the war.

Until now, the initiative of this war is still firmly in his own hands, but he also noticed that various enemy engineering weapons have begun to appear one after another.

Especially the appearance of the pointed wooden donkey and screen cards immediately played an immediate role. Bows and arrows and crossbows were difficult to cause damage to this kind of thing, and the mud applied on it was obviously used for fire prevention.

There are still some talents among the ant thieves. For example, in just three days, such a variety of siege equipment can be built, and there are still a lot of them. If it weren't for some professional talents who were proficient in this, they would not have been prepared for it.

Things like pointed wooden donkeys and leather screen cards are far from simple as ordinary cloud ladders. This can greatly reduce the casualties of ants thieves mainly composed of light armored soldiers and even unarmed soldiers in the crossbow covers in front of the city wall, and the effect is excellent.

Think about it, after these refugees joined the ants thieves, the thieves would of course spare no effort to support each other in order to achieve their own strategic goals. In addition, they fought with the Liang army and the Caizhou army for so long, and also captured many cities. In addition to ordinary refugees and poor people, the thief leader with a little bit of intelligence will also plunder higher value households such as craftsmen and take them for their own use.

These ant army are also getting bigger and bigger like snowballs. In this way, everything around you is wiped out, leaving you with nothing to eat and live without anything to live. If you want to live, you can only follow the ant army. If you are entangled in this way, you want to survive and have a better life, you will naturally contribute your wisdom and strength.

In this case, these craftsmen naturally had to do their best, no matter how much they could, where they were used.

As for construction materials, for the ant thief, it will be wiped out everywhere you go, leaving a piece of white land for you Liang Jun and Caizhou Jun. If you can demolish it, you can demolish it, and if you can move it away, you will naturally not be short of it.

It's time to use the killer weapon.

Jiang Feng told him that he did not need to use the improved stone thrower as a military secret to hide anything. The opponent is not a regular army that has been experienced for a long time. The best strategy is to kill the enemy to the maximum extent and destroy their morale. Although Qin Zaidao was a little worried, he still agreed.

If you can't pass this level before you, everything will be in vain.

The huge vibration made the entire city wall tremble. Only then did Jiang Feng realize how dangerous it was to exert so many stone throwers at the same time.

Perhaps an accidental resonance effect will cause the entire city wall to collapse. This is not just the Ming Great Wall, but the earth wall built with rammed earth, but only a layer of bricks is laid on the surface.

Although for some reason, Qin Zaidao still issued instructions to launch attacks in batches according to Jiang Feng's intentions to the stone-throwing machine operating group that had entered the launch stage.

There were too many things that unexpected to this coach who actually handed over the full command to his head at a critical moment. The improved stone thrower alone was enough to surprise countless people.

Dozens of stones of different sizes rose into the air with a loud bang, just like a black cloud rising above the city wall, and the rugged rocks showed their hideous fangs to the ant soldiers below.

There was almost no reaction, and in fact the ants thieves could not respond.

In dealing with such a crazy blow like Lecque, any means of resistance and defense are futile. Dozens of kilograms of stones fall from the air with huge gravity inertia, neither shield nor armor can compete with this evil god who falls from the sky.

If hail hits the delicate flowers, rain hits the residual lotus, the attack area set by the stone thrower immediately becomes an unmanned area.

With the muffled sound of slap, dust filled the dust, huge stones fell and smashed the yellow dust in the sky. Thrilling screams came one after another, and the horrific and panic shouts made the whole scene suddenly become chaotic.

The Huang Ant Army's originally extremely rapid attack front suddenly stopped, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with this scene.

"Let Xie Waibo press on me. Haven't he seen a stone thrower? Just say what I said, let him go to the front line in person!" Han Baling said sternly, "Chen Pizi, prepare your men for me! Even if you fill it with your human body today, you have to fill it with me!"

"Master, did you notice that their rock-dumping machine range?" Although he knew that Han Baling was in a bad mood at this time, Tu Lianju had to bite the bullet and make suggestions.

"What?" Han Baling looked straight at the wall in the distance, with flags waving on the top of the city wall, and a large "jiang" character in the center of the red flag was particularly dazzling.

"How could their stone thrower have such a long range? It can even catch up with crossbow arrows!" Tu Lianju said in a deep voice: "There is also a small Gushi City, how can there be so many stone thrower and crossbow arrows? Even Guangzhou City is afraid it's just that! I can't believe that this will be a county town! In just a few days, even gods can't transform these things!"

"What do you want to say?"

Han Baling's face became more and more gloomy. He didn't notice this. In fact, when the scout reported that Gushicheng had newly built a sheep and horse wall.

If the sneak attack on Heshen Beach can be far-fetched to the reason why Gushi's scouts are well informed, then it is a bit suspicious that the Sheep and Horse Wall, which cannot be completed in three to five days, will stroll outside Gushi City first.

Now every surprising performance in Gushi adds a stone to Han Baling's heavy heart.

In addition to the newly dredged trenches and newly built sheep and horse walls, and the newly repaired city walls, even more shocking surprises also appeared one after another.

Car crossbow? This is a heavy defensive weapon that only exists in Dayi, Tongzhou. Even if Gushi is an important military town, it is incredible that the crossbow arrow formation is incredible.

Han Baling believed that even the original Guangzhou army might not be equipped with powerful crossbows.

This kind of thing is not easy to make, it is expensive, and it is very easy to damage. It is basically a vulnerable product that needs to be scrapped in two or three times. Although it is powerful, it is not popular among the officials and soldiers everywhere. However, it actually appears on the wall of Gushi, which makes Han Baling mutter.

Could it be that the opponent is prepared for a long time?

The powerful stone throwing machine undoubtedly made Han Baling confirm this. Not only did the opponent be prepared for a long time, but he probably made targeted and careful preparations. Tu Lianju's question just aroused the questions in Han Baling's heart.

What exactly is going on? Could it be that Gushi City knew that it would attack Gushi before the Yan army had confirmed that it would cross the Huai East? This was incredible.
