Chapter 644 What the hell is Song Jun building, a sentry tower? (first update)
Chapter 653

"Okay, let's measure and walk to see how far these stones fly..." Wang Yang felt extremely relaxed at the moment, and the last stone weighing 150 kilograms flew farther than before The distance the stone flies.

The craftsmen began to measure in a hurry, while Wang Yang paced slowly, keeping the same speed as the craftsmen, but Na Zhe Keshi couldn't bear it any longer. "Let's go, let's go over quickly and see where those stones flew to..."

Wang Yang had no choice but to speed up his pace, and walked towards the general Zhe who was eager to fly over to see the projectile fall.

The sixty-pound stone was completely submerged in the ground, and it could be seen that the surrounding area was filled with mud and snow foam that had been violently squeezed by the stone.

"Hey, it fell so deep. If it hits a building, I'm afraid that no building can withstand the impact of this thing. Even the city wall will definitely have problems." Zhe Keshi tutted his tongue repeatedly.

"Yes, even the Yuanyou cement I developed, if it is not specially reinforced, it will at least be smashed into a big hole or a big crack." Wang Yang also said with a full face.

He remembered that this kind of thing, which was named the return gun by later generations, could definitely be regarded as the most powerful siege weapon before the appearance of gunpowder long-range weapons.

Compared with the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow is more like a powerful unit-level lethal weapon. It has a long range and great power, but the damage it causes is more point-shaped.

Moreover, if the special crossbow is not used, even if it has been modified by itself, the heavy objects it can shoot cannot exceed twenty catties.

But this kind of trebuchet is completely different. Its inherent conditions are destined to be a destructive long-range weapon.

It can throw objects with a very large weight, whether it is a stone or even other heavy objects. Moreover, the lethality brought by a heavy object during the fall process and the rollover process after it hits the ground, It will also become even bigger.

"One hundred and three feet...Oh my God, this, this is incredible..." When the craftsmen reached the long ruler in front of the pit that was about one person high and sunk deep into the ground, the number they finally reported was , so that everyone was so surprised that they could not contain themselves.

"More than a hundred feet, isn't that similar to our bed crossbow, we can easily bombard the city, while those Xixia barbarians can only watch and be beaten obediently." Zhe Keshi He was so excited that he kept patting Wang Yang's shoulder with his big hands, and burst out laughing.

"It seems that it is really beyond my expectation, but this is unexpected, but it is developing in a good direction." Wang Da Inventor said seriously, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

An hour later, Fei Ting Darong, who had received the report from his subordinates, hurriedly boarded the western wall of Wuyan Ancient City.

He didn't need the guidance of the anxious-looking guard in the east of the city. He also saw that the Song army's position had moved forward to a distance of about a hundred feet from the ancient city of Wuyan.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that behind the walls that are being built, there are many Song people who don't know what they are tinkering with, and they can clearly see that they should be four rather tall wooden buildings.

"Do these Song people want to build a siege tower?" Puru Guangzan narrowed his eyes in confusion and looked at it carefully.

"Xiu is so tall, I also think it should be a siege tower, but is it too late for them to think of building this thing now?" Another general next to him couldn't help but mocked.

"If I, Great Xia, wanted to build a siege tower, it would take a hundred craftsmen, and it would take at least half a month to build it. However, although the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty were more sophisticated, no matter what, it would take ten days. In the past ten days, I am afraid that there will be no one left in this ancient city of Wuyan..."

"The generals of the Song army can't be so stupid, right? Perhaps, this is some new weapon of the Song Dynasty, or they are building a higher guard tower, so that they can check our movements in the city and prepare for the attack." In addition A general gave an explanation that made everyone deeply agree.

"The old man also thinks that the people of Song finally couldn't bear it anymore. Hehe, that's okay, our son-in-law has already been suffocated by the harassment of the people of Song these days." Fei Ting Darong narrowed his eyes It was cold inside.

"If they don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, it's just for the children to sharpen their blades with their bones. When they come, they will send an order immediately, and then send five thousand soldiers and horses to the west city wall to wait for orders. The other two walls Also pay attention to strengthen vigilance, don't give those Song dogs any opportunity."

Soon, the entire Wuyan Ancient City began to commotion. Teams of soldiers left Dongcheng District, which is closest to the Wuding River, and marched in other directions along the roads in Wuyan Ancient City.

And a total of [-] Xixia soldiers who were sharpening their knives rushed to the west city wall and waited. When those Song people dared to attack the city, they would suddenly appear on the city wall and give those Song dogs a fatal blow. hit.

Fei Tingdarong and a group of generals did not leave here, but continued to stand on the west wall of the city. They were very curious about what kind of buildings those Song people were going to build. After all, human beings are curious. It is to wait until the mystery is unraveled, which will relax.

For example, at this moment, these Xixia generals would rather face the bitter cold wind, but also wanted to see what happened. After another half an hour passed, they heard bursts of cheers coming from the Song Army camp. .

And the busy figures on the wooden buildings gradually disappeared, as if those wooden buildings had already been built, and they were celebrating the completion.

But the question is, what the hell are these things built by the people of Song Dynasty?

"Why is each one like a chess pole? Could it be that the people of Song Dynasty just wanted to build four tall and pointed flag towers here in order to save time?" A Xixia general couldn't help crying and laughing authentically.

The Xixia general next to him said with a serious look on purpose. "I still think that this should be the ultimate sentry tower invented by those Song dogs. Maybe the Song people have mutated and can climb to the top of these poles like monkeys to spy on the situation in our city."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of laughter, and the two guys all smirked. "Yes, yes, you are so right, haha..."

Even Na Fei Ting Darong couldn't help laughing and cursing. "The boy from Mi Qin's family is indeed very vicious. It's okay, this is a battlefield, don't be too playful, let's see, those Song people are really going to climb up the ladder, or do they want to go up? do something."

　I wish my dear book friends a happy May Day, and have a happy holiday, okay!
