Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 393
"I'll help you!" Yuan Shu was counting people, but he didn't want Zhang Chao to find him, and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was also with him.

"Thank you for your generous help!" Yuan Shu didn't expect that there were people willing to help him, so he was naturally grateful.

"I thought I was the fastest?" Li Ming also walked over.

"Ri Yao, why are you here?" Yuan Shu was a little surprised, his relationship with Li Ming was very bad, and in his opinion, Li Ming was on Yuan Shao's side, not his own.Even Yan Xiang had analyzed before that the instigator of the diarrhea in the entire army was probably Li Ming, the key was the lack of sufficient evidence.

"I provide all the siege equipment, and I am responsible for using them! I don't plan to directly participate in the battle. After all, the city wall is so wide, and there is no way to accommodate so many people! But I will support from behind, if necessary We will go to the rescue! Of course, I will naturally ask you to settle the previous accounts, but the main premise is that we are all coalition forces seeking Dong!" Li Ming said slowly.

"Hmph, thank you very much!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, but he actually accepted Li Ming's affection in his heart.

What he didn't know was that Li Ming would make a move, mainly to show Yuan Shao.Everyone could see that Yuan Shao was also worried about Yuan Shu's safety, but with Yuan Shu's attitude, it was not easy for him to come forward directly.At this time, if he helps out, not only can he increase Yuan Shao's favorability, but if he is lucky, he can also increase Yuan Shu's favorability. Why not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?
He even suspected that Zhang Chao and Tao Qian might have the same idea!
The heavy catapult was assembled one mile away from Hulaoguan under the arrangement of craftsmen.This thing is actually an enlarged version of the catapult, not the Xiangyang gun of later generations.However, such a big catapult throws a lot of stones. The key is that Li Ming deliberately loaded a lot of bowling ball-sized stones, and these stones are not used to attack fortifications.

The rush car is ready, and the ladder is in place.Yuan Shu, Zhang Chao and Tao Qian had counted the soldiers and gave Li Ming a signal.The latter immediately issued an order to let the catapult throw stones.

"Bump bump..." After a few sounds, the stones on the catapult flew out suddenly, a few landed very close, but most of them fell into Hulao Pass.With the help of powerful kinetic energy, these bowling-sized stones fell into the checkpoint like cannonballs, many of them smashed the tiles on the tower, and a few fell into the enemy army, at least they were killed A dozen enemy soldiers.

"It's not very powerful!" Li Ming looked at the results of the trebuchet, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"My lord, you are embarrassing me!" The captain of the artisan battalion suddenly complained, "We are asked to build trebuchets at the last moment, and we can do this well! If we are given a year or two to study and improve , it’s not easy to increase the power? Besides, this is the first test shooting, of course there is a problem with the accuracy!”

"Come on, come on, you think I don't know? Come on, come on, you did a good job!" Li Ming smiled wryly. After all, he did not intend to use the trebuchet from the beginning, so he knocked down the tiger prison.

Look at those stone bullets. When they hit the city wall, there are only some white traces. This level is not generally strong. Unless you use artillery, it is estimated that it will be difficult to blast the city wall away.

"Sunday, don't blame them. The catapults from the Artisan Camp are doing very well!" Yuan Shu stepped forward to comfort him. He had to say that the catapults are really good. According to this trend, after a few rounds, the army can charge with peace of mind.

Artisan camp, it really is necessary to set up one!The three princes at this moment are all thinking in their hearts...

The catapult caught the defenders of Hulao Pass by surprise. After a while, the heads hanging on the city wall were dropped by the stones. Of course, some of them turned into meat sauce.This made many princes heartbroken, but it was hard to say anything.

"Ordinary stones are useless, replace them with larger ones!" Li Ming took a look. Although the tower of Hulao Pass had been damaged a lot, the city wall was fine, so he ordered it immediately.

The soldiers quickly brought over the stones, all of which weighed about two hundred catties, and put them directly into the throwing pockets.

"Throw!" The captain of the engineering battalion shouted, and another round of throwing began.It's just that this kind of primitive trebuchet is really not very powerful. The [-]-jin stone flew out, drew an arc at the end, and hit the city wall directly. It didn't even hit the upper city wall of Hulao Pass.

However, the effect is still very good, at least a trace has been smashed out. If dozens of them are smashed, it is estimated that the outer layer of defense can be smashed.The key was the gate. The iron-clad gate was hit three times, and as a result, the gate was deformed to a certain extent.

"Continue, focus on their gate!" Li Ming shouted, Yuan Shu and others also saw the hope that the Hulao would be closed and broken. Everyone was ready to move, and even the princes behind seemed to be preparing to attack the city.

"My lord, are we still on the way?" The officer in charge of the rush car and the ladder stepped forward and asked.If the catapult continues, they will have no chance to play.

"Since the catapult is easy to use, you can just wait!" Li Ming said with a smile.

Hearing this, the two officers retreated depressedly.I don't know if I cursed the broken trebuchet in my heart, but I guess there will still be frustration about not being able to play.

"Click!" A few times, after the third throwing stone loaded with heavy stones, the throwing arm of the trebuchet also broke.After all, the wood was made from temporary logging, and it had more than enough toughness but not enough elasticity. Several high-intensity throwing actions still broke it.

"Highway, the trebuchet can't be played anymore, are you ready?" Li Ming looked at the city gate.

A lot of bluestones were directly smashed with cracks. As long as they continue to smash a few times, it is estimated that a large piece of the city wall may be smashed down directly.On the other side of the gate, the city gate has already begun to deform. It feels like if it continues to be hit four or five times, it may be destroyed.

"There are also Chongche and Yunti troops, right? Leave the rest to me!" Yuan Shu, Zhang Chao, and Tao Qian are also full of confidence. Poor.

"My lord, the rushing car and the ladder are probably going to be difficult!" Just at this time, a soldier from the engineering battalion came to report, "The stones thrown earlier blocked the road!"

When everyone saw it, it was true that the stones spread across in a straight line. Although these stones depleted the defense of Hulao Pass to the greatest extent, they also hindered the advancement of subsequent siege equipment.

"My lord, we have ordinary long ladders, we can try..." one of Yuan Shu's generals whispered.

"Okay, let's go up first! Sun Yao, can you let your people clear the road?" Yuan Shu looked at Li Ming.

"Okay!" Li Ming didn't have anything to say, and he had to bear the blame for himself to the end.

"The whole army obeys the order, follow me to fight!" Yuan Shu shouted, and in an instant, more than 20 long ladders with hooks and claws were carried out by the soldiers and moved towards Hulao Pass.At the same time, more than 1000 sword and shield soldiers held shields and covered the soldiers to advance.

"Use rocks! Don't let them get close! Archers, use rockets!" Seeing the situation on the city wall, Xu Rong immediately ordered.

The soldiers rested in a panic, and then began to counterattack according to Xu Rong's instructions...

　Catapults are not catapults, one can be pushed forward, the other can only be fixed, and must be disassembled and assembled before use.
