Because the distance is quite far, the head of Hongnong City must be at least a thousand steps away from the cliff, and there are more than 5,000 Han soldiers in front of it to block it.
Guanqiu Jian and others did not see the Han king's artillery being installed behind them.
However, Wei Jun, who was standing on several watchtowers near the outside of the city, looked a little confused: "What is that?"
"How do I know?"
"A big black root, who knows what it is?"
The closest watchtower to the Han army was about two hundred steps away. Although they saw the big guy behind the Han army, they just looked at it stupidly.
No wonder they are.
They are just ordinary soldiers.
Never seen such a thing.
Also, at this time, even if they wanted to send news to the city, it would be a bit difficult for them, because let alone sending news to the city, even if they contacted the nearby watchtowers, it would be difficult for them to do so.
Because each watchtower is seventy or eighty steps apart, they have no other way to convey the message unless they shout loudly.
If you really shout loudly, the nearby watchtowers may be able to hear it, but the Han soldiers not far away will definitely be able to hear it.
Besides, what on earth is that black guy?
They don't know either.
They don't know how to describe it.
Did the Han army prepare some big black sticks to shout to the city?
Looking at——
The Wei troops in several nearby watchtowers watched as the Han soldiers placed heavy-looking large pipes on top of something equally dark, as if they were watching a play.
Hongnongchengtou.
"The Han army is a bit slow today!"
A middle-aged general said speechlessly: "It's been almost an hour, how many people have come up now?"
"Are there ten thousand people?"
"No!" Another person shook his head and said, "At most six or seven thousand people."
Wen Qin also frowned, but Guanqiu Jian said: "The Han army also has rocket launchers. The rocket launchers need to be fired with a three-bow crossbow. A three-bow crossbow weighs three to four hundred kilograms."
"Wait a little longer!"
"Wait until they bring more bed crossbows, and when the battle is over..." Guanqiu Jian said and laughed: "At that time, all these bed crossbows will be used by our army."
"Hahaha!"
"The general is right!"
After all, after the last defeat of the Han army, fifty or sixty bed crossbows were left behind, and now they have become the equipment of the Wei army.
It was also the last time we obtained 50 or 60 bed crossbows from the Han army that made the Wei army officers discover the difference between the bed crossbows of the Han and Wei dynasties.
The Wei army's bed crossbow has three hard bows arranged in the same direction, but the Han army's bed crossbow is different. The front two hard bows of the Han army's bed crossbow face outwards, and the back hard bow faces inward.
Wen Qin sent someone to send three bed crossbows to Luoyang. After reading them, Ma Jun finally understood why the Han army's bed crossbows had a farther range than the Wei army's.
It turns out that the bow is placed in a different direction.
In Luoyang at this time, Ma Jun was arranging craftsmen to modify Wei Jun's bed crossbows, but it was too late for Hongnong City. After all, the time was too short, and Ma Jun could not leave Luoyang now. He had to supervise the production of more
Thundercracker.
However, Hongnong City has fifty or sixty bed crossbows captured last time, which can also increase the range of the Wei army's bed crossbows.
Among them, the twenty crossbows in the watchtower outside the city were actually captured from the Han army.
So for Guanqiu Jian at this moment, they really don't worry about giving the Han army more time to carry more crossbows.
Because they firmly believe that it has only been twenty days since the end of the last battle. No matter how strong the productivity of the Han army is, it will not be able to develop and produce a large number of thunder cannons in twenty days.
So, let’s fight today.
Wei will surely win.
Furthermore, Guanqiu Jian hoped that today's battle would kill more Han troops, preferably by blowing them up together with Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan.
If Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan can be killed by the explosion, then this achievement is by no means comparable to an ordinary victory. Perhaps this can instantly reverse the situation between Han and Wei.
Wait.
Wait a moment.
Wait until more Han troops come up before taking action.
The Wei army's calmness also gave the Han army enough time to prepare.
It took more than an hour for the Han army to set up 60 Hanwang cannons and 5,000 shells on the cliff.
After all the artillery preparations were completed, the Han army sent a cavalry of 5,000 people to the top of the mountain. Among the cavalry formations were the Han Emperor Liu Chan and the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
It's just that today is different from usual. Liu Chan usually wears golden armor and rides his pure white sweat horse, while Zhuge Liang rides his special wooden chariot.
But today Liu Chan is wearing the armor of an ordinary general and riding a black war horse. Zhuge Liang is also riding on the back of a black war horse.
Ten thousand people.
Five thousand infantry, five thousand cavalry.
The Wei army still made no move, and seemed to want to wait for more Han troops to come up the mountain. When they saw the Han cavalry, they thought there were more Han troops coming up. After all, the last time 30,000 Han troops attacked Hongnong City, they encountered
A disastrous failure.
And so far, the Han army’s three-bow bed crossbow has not been seen at the top of Hongnong City.
Perhaps they have moved up the mountain, but they have not yet pushed it to the front of the front army. After all, the front army of the Han army is six or seven hundred steps away from the head of Hongnong City at this time. The range of the Han army's bed crossbows cannot reach 700 steps.
This level.
The top of the Wei army's city was still quiet. The Wei army on the watchtowers on both sides also looked at the Han army in formation not far away, as if they were watching a play. Although the watchtowers on the edge could not see the movement at the foot of the mountain, they could still see the movement at the foot of the mountain.
Arrive at the Han army’s military camp on the west bank of the Hongnong River.
There are still troops moving in the military camp, and they should be preparing to cross the river.
But at this moment, in the Han cavalry formation, Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "Send the order!"
His voice was not loud, and only the generals around him could hear him.
"Order the artillery to attack the watchtowers on both sides immediately!" Liu Chan looked around and said coldly: "Don't leave any of them for me, or I will blow them all up."
"No!"
Upon hearing the promise, the primary school commander immediately turned around and ran to the rear of the military formation to deliver orders to the artillerymen.
Quiet——
Very quiet.
Just a sudden loud noise broke the silence of Hongnong City.
Bang——
On the top of the fourth watchtower on the east side, fire suddenly shot into the sky, and a violent explosion sent the Wei soldiers and three-bow bed crossbows flying all over the sky.
The ten Wei soldiers on top of this watchtower were blown to pieces before they even had time to scream.
The fourth watchtower was blown up, and the Wei troops on the remaining watchtowers have not yet reacted. What is going on?
"Not good!"
On the third watchtower on the west side, a soldier stared wide-eyed and shouted in shock when he saw a black ball coming from far to near.
However, as soon as he shouted, the ball had already landed in front of him, and then made a loud noise.
Boom——Bang!
Then the watchtowers on the east and west sides continued to explode, and the sound of explosions came one after another. After each explosion, the watchtowers were filled with flames, accompanied by blown-up crossbow components and blown-up Wei soldiers.
"This——"
At the head of Hongnong City in the distance, Guanqiu Jian and others were also in shock. Originally, they were still waiting for the Han army to continue sending troops, but with these sudden loud noises, none of the twenty watchtowers outside the city were spared.
All cleared.
"What's going on?!"
Everyone paused and looked at the Han army in the distance with their mouths open.
They were frightened.
What kind of weapon is this?
Rocket launcher?
Thundercracker?
......
