Chapter 645: The Great Song’s New Sharp Weapon That Urges the City to Pull Out the Wall (Second Update)

Chapter 654

"Quick, quick, the No. [-] machine still needs [-] catties, the No. [-] machine needs [-] catties, and the No. [-] machine is still [-] catties short. How far is the No. [-] machine now?"

"The weighting of machine No. [-] has been completed..." Not far away, a sergeant stood there, glanced at the stone in his hand and added the weight of all the stones to get the total, and reported loudly.

In a short time, the four heavy-duty trebuchets, which were so high that all the soldiers were looking here curiously, began to slowly pull the counterweights weighing tens of thousands of kilograms slowly under the power of animal power. Float up.

And at this moment, on the left side of the four heavy-duty catapults lined up in a row, five feet apart, not only Wang Yang and Zhe Keshi, but even the coaches from the north and south gates were called over. .

Everyone looked at these four huge heavy-duty catapults with great curiosity. No matter the generals of the Song Army, Liang Yibu, Li Mao and other surrendered generals, they had never seen the performance of this kind of heavy-duty catapult.

Therefore, I am skeptical about the power of this trebuchet.However, when they all learned that this thing was another masterpiece of Wang Yangwang Wushan, the greatest, smartest and youngest inventor in the Song Dynasty.

I can't help but feel a little bit hopeful, after all, this Mr. Wang doesn't seem to have let anyone down in the link of invention and creation.

"Everyone, it's really not easy to explain, but don't worry, you will be able to see in a while how these four trebuchets smashed the ancient city of Wuyan to pieces." Zhe Keshi asked several relatives The well-acquainted general was so entangled that his brain ached, and finally he simply dropped such a sentence, which suppressed the complaints and doubts of those guys.

"Generals, the rock-throwing machine developed by Wang is now ready. Next, please focus on the wall of the ancient city of Wuyan ahead. Now, launch it!" After everything was ready, Wang Yang This side walked to a place not far from the four catapults, and after greeting these generals, he turned his head and shouted at the launchers of the four catapults.

At this moment, the four strong men drew their knives out of their sheaths in unison, and then, almost at the same time, cut off the thick hemp ropes that controlled the counterweight so that it could not fall.

The next moment, the four trebuchets, which seemed to be extremely calm, suddenly showed their power. Their five-foot-long throwing poles drew an arc in a uniform order, and then they threw the boulder weighing about 150 kilograms in their leather pockets. Tossed out.

#####
Those Xixia people on the city wall felt that the four wooden buildings of the Song Dynasty people did not seem to be dangerous, so they were chatting very easily at the moment, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

It seemed that they were not on the battlefield at the moment, but were playing a winter game. Their relaxed and freehand style also infected the tired soldiers who seemed a little nervous before, giving them a kind of relaxation both physically and mentally.

However, there was a sudden sound, as if they heard the sound of a wind blowing down a big tree, and many Xixia soldiers who were still focusing on the direction of the Song Army's camp suddenly focused their eyes.

They saw four, oh no, four pieces, four huge objects, seemingly thrown up from the four giant wooden towers they had laughed at before, and they were rolling in the sky.

Fei Ting Darong's expression froze at this moment, and he saw a gigantic boulder, weighing at least a hundred catties, rolling towards this direction. Edge, toward the city wall, falling.

Moreover, it seemed that the position where I was standing was within the envelope of one of the boulders.At this moment, Fei Ting Darong, with a dull expression and dull eyes, stood there stupidly like a clay puppet.

Not only him, almost all Xixia soldiers on the city wall didn't react at all, just staring blankly at the four flying boulders flying towards this side.

Fei Tingdarong watched helplessly as the huge boulder that seemed to be close at hand flew past his head, and then, there was a huge roar from behind him, and the vibration caused him to the point where he couldn't stand upright, and he fell straight away. He fell on the city wall.

And the moment he fell sideways, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, because he saw the rather glorious body of his niece and son-in-law, who was standing not far away, who was bragging and bragging with his companions. In front of the tumbling and falling boulders, it is not even as good as paper.

It was directly knocked down by the tumbling boulder, smashed, and even a large piece of the city wall collapsed...

Wang Yang and others could clearly see that three huge boulders had fallen into the ancient city of Wuyan, and only one fell on the top of the city. After the smoke and dust were blown away, everyone discovered in astonishment that the city wall of Wuyan Ancient City had cracked a gap that was nearly ten feet wide and extended down to the middle of the city wall.

"God..." Wu Qilang, the loyal guard who had been following Wang Yang, couldn't help but feel a big trough in his heart at this moment.

"Prepare to attack!" At this moment, Zhe Keshi seemed to have come to his senses, subconsciously pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted sharply.

Standing where he was, Wang Yang, who was proudly waiting for someone to praise the ultra-long-range destructive weapon he had developed, heard Zhe Keshi's roar, and almost staggered and fell, so he hurried forward and took a few steps to hold Zhe Keshi. Ke Shi Road.

"Slow down, don't be anxious, General Zhe. Now is not the time for us to be anxious, but for those Xixia talents." Seeing the confusion on Zhe Keshi's face, Wang Yang could only continue to explain patiently. "Now there are still a large number of Xixia soldiers and horses in the city, and they still have the city wall to rely on."

"We only used one round of volleys to make such a hole. If there are more than ten or twenty rounds, I'm afraid it will be enough to raze the city wall to the ground."

"At that time, without the cover and support of the city wall, those Xixia troops who have been harassed by our gunpowder weapons for several days can still be the opponents of the Song Dynasty elite who have been recharging their energy for so many days?"

Zhe Keshi glanced at the gap, then glanced at the four heavy-duty trebuchets that were slowly being adjusted in preparation for using the stored energy to pull up the counterweight again, and finally, took the unsheathed sword out of its sheath. Inserted back into his sheath.

"Okay, listen to you, hit them hard, until those Xixia dogs don't even have the guts to resist, let's attack again."

"Tell the battalions, let them cheer me up, and prevent those Xixia thieves from jumping over the wall in a hurry and breaking through from other directions."

"Here, I will entrust it to you, Mr. Xiao Wang. Zhemou rushed to the heavy armored cavalry first, to guard against the risky move of the Xixia bandit army."
