The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 511
The rocket box installed on the eight-ox crossbow is a new technology invented by Ma Jun of Jiangdong College this year. In order to make the eight-ox crossbow more applicable, Ma Jun is considering upgrading the eight-ox crossbow.

At present, two upgrades have been completed. The first is that the arrows need to be designed differently in order to let the eight-ox crossbow launch rockets. The main reason is to lengthen the arrows by 20%!

Because rockets are soaked in oil with sackcloth, etc. to fully absorb them, then dried and then bound to the arrows, this makes the rockets very flammable. Imagine that the fire formed by thirty such arrows is not small. If you are not careful, you will burn the wooden eight-ox crossbow!
So Ma Jun lengthened the length of the arrows. At the same time, the arrows of the rockets are all special. The thirty arrows are separated by two iron walls, and each one is fixed in the arrows. Fire starter, to avoid burns when the loader ignites.

The second is that there is an exquisite device on the eight-ox crossbow transmitter, which is a scale device. The distance used by the eight-ox crossbow in each war is different. It cannot be fired at full capacity every time, so that the shooting distance exceeds a thousand steps. Above, and the enemy is only three hundred steps away, so the hit rate is very low, and each shooter needs to use experience to measure and measure the strength.

In order to achieve more accurate shooting and control, Lu Heng asked Ma Jun to test-fire each Banniu crossbow before leaving the factory. There will be a scale to measure the maximum distance, five hundred steps, four hundred steps... there will be a guiding scale, which will make it more accurate. Precise and targeted killing.

After explaining the upgrade of the Eight Bull Crossbow, let's go back to the battlefield!

When Han Qiong saw the siege vehicles and the roads burning with flames, Han Qiong didn't have the slightest expression. Because he had been fighting Du Gao for a long time, Han Qiong naturally knew how difficult the Suiyang defender was. As soon as the equipment appeared, the opponent knew his purpose.

So after seeing these siege vehicles burnt down, Han Qiong just raised the golden gun in his hand, and a few special siege vehicles were pushed out. Obviously Han Qiong wanted to use numbers to break the situation. got a backhand.

The siege battle continued. None of the first batch of siege vehicles could hold on under the wooden building, and they all turned into torches. The second batch of siege vehicles had already followed up, and even the number of the second batch was far greater than that of the first batch. There are many more batches, and each Yuan Shaojun is using his strength to push these heavy siege equipment.

The number of Yuan Shao's catapults also kept increasing, and huge boulders were thrown all over Suiyang. Unfortunately, there were no mechanical geniuses like Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang, Ma Jun, and Huang Yueying in Yuan Shao's army, and he was still unable to solve the problem of hit rate. Even so, some wooden buildings collapsed after being hit by stone bullets.

This equipment battle lasted for a whole day, and the ruins of siege engines were everywhere, but Han Qiong destroyed one batch after another every time. God knows how many siege trucks Han Qiong had built in the past few months. Sui The fire bombs in Yangcheng were rapidly consumed.

Until sunset, Han Qiong still had no intention of stopping, obviously preparing to attack the city day and night, but there were 'torches' everywhere on the battlefield like daytime, so there was no need to worry about the light.

Han Qiong has long divided the army into three parts, taking turns to rest and attack the city in shifts, and thinking that all equipment will attack each other, and the loss will be much smaller than that of ants climbing the city. , The damage is actually not that big! '

And Du Gao also saw that Han Qiong's purpose was to constantly consume the defensive equipment in the city, especially the fierce fire oil that had been consumed by more than half in just one day. If Han Qiong continued to fight like this in a few days, there would be no fierce fire oil to use , and what Yuan Shaojun paid was that the shield team suffered heavy losses and some wood.

The losses of these shield teams are far smaller than those of ordinary siege methods!

Time passed slowly, and after Han Qiong's siege vehicles were burned out again, there were ruins everywhere from Yuan Shao's camp to the city of Suiyang, and it was impossible for Han Qiong's large-scale "convoy" to pass by. On the battlefield, it was already past midnight.

At this time, Lu Junyi took over Han Qiong's team early in the morning and continued the attack. Han Qiong was a veteran after all, not to mention that siege was never something that could be broken in one or two attacks. Han Qiong ordered Lu Junyi to continue consuming the supplies in the city and take a break today. .

And Du Gao was nowhere to be seen in Suiyang City. Du Gao was replaced by Yang Zaixing. Du Gao also defended the city overnight and was replaced by Yang Zaixing to rest. The latter looked at the golden armor and golden gun in the distance. The opponent knew what was going on and continued to fight.

Like Han Qiong yesterday, Lu Junyi let the siege engines attack. The road had already been cleaned up by Yuan Shaojun soldiers last night. Just let the trebuchet use boulder shells to damage the siege engines.

Lu Junyi was overjoyed to see such a reaction, because he subconsciously thought that the Suiyang defenders had insufficient fire oil, which led to such a situation.

Even though Lu Junyi had such a judgment, he still didn't dare to attack in an all-out way. Instead, he watched the first batch of siege engines being slowly pushed through the city, and then smashed to pieces by stone bullets one by one.

After testing three waves of attacks, every time Yang Zaixing first sniped with a huge boulder, and when he was really close to the wooden building, he threw heavy kerosene to burn down the siege vehicles that were very close.

Lu Junyi thought that the time had come and launched a full-scale attack. This time, several times the siege engines were overwhelmed, and the shield army continued to guard as usual. In addition, there were two kinds of strange soldiers.

The first type is ordinary sword and shield soldiers, with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other hand, but each of them carries a large bundle of dry firewood on their backs, and the second type is soldiers with a few small jars tied around their waists.

Obviously this was Han Qiong's back-up plan, and it was also very simple, using manpower to carry firewood and strong fire oil to burn the wooden building!

To achieve this goal, the only way to achieve this goal is to consume all the fire oil bombs in the city, because these things are all flammable items. Han Qiong still freshly remembered the previous "Sky Fire". While running towards the city wall, he was doused with fire oil and then a handful Fire, don't talk about burning wooden buildings, just give the other party some fuel!
"Siege vehicles! Firefighters and heavy-fire oil soldiers are ready!"

Lu Junyi let the siege vehicles and shield soldiers clear the way, and let the soldiers carrying firewood and fuel oil slowly attack the city.

This time Lu Junyi threw out so many siege engines, and those strange soldiers were obviously preparing for a general attack. Yang Zaixing on the city wall looked at this scene, and did not change his tactics because there were so many siege engines. He still ordered Each trebuchet launched a sniper attack to destroy it, and one after another siege vehicles.

When these siege vehicles reached two-thirds, Lu Junyi ordered firewood soldiers and fierce fire oil soldiers to attack!
"Kill! Go! Set fire to them!"
