Chapter 400 Isn't this cobblestone wall too strong? (first update)
Chapter 398

In addition to them, there are also two teams of heavily armed imperial troops, as well as the rushing cars, city crash cars, and catapult carts equipped by the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, and even the most powerful bed crossbow in the Song Dynasty.

What they were facing was a stone wall that was about three feet wide, one foot high, and three feet thick.

Rao Xu Degong made a mess of the raw materials, but now when he saw the iron-gray stone wall that seemed indestructible, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really possible for those imperial troops to make this wall even less wide than one-fifth of the city wall. Thick walls are destroyed.

"If it hadn't been for the fact that I had never seen this stone wall outside the Yuehua Gate before, the Ai family would have thought it was not a wall, but a huge natural rock..." Gao Taotao couldn't help saying with a bit of tongue.

The main reason is that its color is too similar to that kind of solid bluestone. Moreover, Xu Degong said that he only purchased a batch of pebbles in order to rush for time. But now, there are no protrusions of pebbles at all. It's like a whole boulder that has been deliberately carved artificially, isn't it?

A Forbidden Army officer stood in front of the stone wall with his helmet pierced. Hmm... Looking at the stone wall, he was in a bad mood. Who said this was built of cobblestones?I didn't even see half a pebble.

But now is not the time to complain, following his command, dozens of excellent archers first stood up, half of them used compound bows, while the other half used kicking crossbows.

Following an officer's order, twenty arrows were shot uniformly towards the stone wall twenty steps away. Then, everyone saw that the arrows just bounced on that wall. They all landed.

It seemed that there were only some small white spots left on the wall, and then the crossbows were kicked, and those powerful crossbows also met the same fate as the bows and arrows.There is simply no way to penetrate deep into the wall.

Seeing this, the contempt on Zhu Guangting's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cautious attitude with reservations.At this time, under the command of the general of the forbidden army, a crash vehicle specially designed to hit the city gate and the city wall, pushed by nearly twenty soldiers of the forbidden army, slowly approached the stone wall.

After arriving under the stone wall, with the sound of orders, the heavy copper-headed log in the ramming car began to shake. Accompanied by the chants, it swung upwards and then swung fiercely toward Hitting the front.

The dull and loud noise brought by every impact made people's heart skip a beat. Standing beside Wang Yang, Chen Andao didn't know when his hand was covering his heart. He seemed to be afraid. With the impact of the crashing car, this seemingly extremely solid stone wall will collapse accordingly.

"Five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten...eleven...Huh? Why hasn't there been any movement?" An old military official who has been in the field whispered the number of collisions beside him, This has far exceeded the usual times of dealing with mud walls as thick as three feet.

However, there seemed to be no movement at all on this stone wall. He simply went around behind the stone wall with several experienced military officials, but he failed to see any cracks in the back.

And more ministers, including Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, stayed where they were, but their expressions were very serious.

"Stop, stop!" At this moment, someone in the crash car suddenly yelled loudly.

The general who directed the siege drill couldn't help shouting loudly why he stopped.

"General, the head of our mallet is completely bald. Do you want to change the head of the hammer and smash it again?" The Forbidden Army is about to report.

"Then bring the hit car and see what the hit part looks like..." an old military official came up to him and ordered.

Soon, the heavy truck was slowly dragged away, exposing the part that was hit. What was exposed in front of everyone was a depression about half a foot deep. Inside, Finally, the bamboo basket was exposed, and even pebbles could be seen in it.

But the whole wall showed no tendency to crack and crumble.And at this time, even Gao Taotao came over.

Then his eyes fell on the few military officials who gathered in the depression to discuss fiercely and asked. "Laoqing's family, you are all veterans who have been in battle. If it is an ordinary city wall, will it be the same after such an impact?"

"Ms. Hui, the wall we built in the past was completely built with stones, cemented with lime and clay, and supported with wood. If it was hit by a city car like this dozens of times.

I'm afraid that this area, at least the wall within ten feet, will be in danger of being destroyed. If it's a hastily built stone fortress, and it's of this thickness, I'm afraid this wall will collapse within ten strokes. "

"Congratulations, majesty, congratulations to your majesty, the strength of this Yuanyou cement is as solid as the little Wang said, and it is definitely a rare and good thing in the Song Dynasty. If many forts in the north of the Song Dynasty have this It is almost helpless to use the siege equipment of Xixia and Beiliao." Another old military official was so excited that his lips trembled a little.

"Your Majesty, there are other siege machines that have not yet been tested, but do you still need to continue?" At this time, the imperial guard with a sore face walked up to Gao Taotao and asked in a low voice.

"There is no need to try this. Even the ramming vehicle won't do much. Don't you think other siege equipment can destroy this stone wall?" An old military official couldn't help but glared at this Unknown juniors.

"Your Majesty, since these equipments have been transported, why don't we let the trebuchet and bed crossbow have a try again, maybe we can do amazing feats?" Xu Degong was very unhappy, especially when he saw that the old soldiers were all After standing on Wang Yang's side, the mood became more and more unbeautiful.

Damn, I gave you pebbles, and you made it so solid, isn't this a slap in the face of our family?
"Since everything has been transported, let's give it a try. The Ai family really wants to see how this stone wall can fall down." Gao Taotao also nodded in agreement.

After saying this, Gao Taotao gave another loud instruction. "Give me half an hour. If we can destroy this stone wall, the Ai family will be in trouble."

Well, after hearing Gao Tao's words, those originally depressed Forbidden Army officers and soldiers were as if they had been beaten to death one by one.

The copper hammer head of the crashing car is broken, okay, let’s change the iron hammer head and continue to try. Over there, the catapult can throw as many rocks as you can, and you, the bed crossbow, this thing is so hard You can't let it eat dry rice after transporting it, can you?

Then, everyone began to watch the hundreds of forbidden soldiers using all their strength. Unfortunately, whether it was hitting with rocks, shooting with a giant bed crossbow, or ramming the city car, they continued to change people.

The stone walls stood there majestically, and from the beginning, Chen Andao looked like he was going to have a heart attack at any time, but later on, he was able to squat with Wang Yang, chatting and laughing.

"I said Wushan, this cobblestone wall is too strong, right? But you don't worry at all, what if it collapses within half an hour?"
