Chapter 398 Is this cobblestone wall too strong?
Chapter 398
In addition to them, there were two teams of fully armed imperial guards, as well as the rushing cars, city-striking cars, stone-throwing cars, and even the most awesome bed crossbows of the Song Dynasty.
What they faced was a stone wall that had just been removed from the wooden board. It looked like a super huge stone wall about three zhang wide, about one zhang high, and about three zhang thick.
Even though Xu Degong had damaged the raw materials, when he saw the iron-gray stone wall, he couldn't help but wonder if the imperial guards could really destroy this wall that was not as wide as one-fifth of the thickness of the city wall.
"If it weren't for not seeing this stone wall outside the Yuehua Gate before, the Ai family thought it was not a wall, but a natural giant stone..." Gao Tao couldn't help but say with a blowjob.
The main reason is that the color is really too similar to that kind of solid bluestone. Moreover, Xu Degong said that he only purchased a batch of pebbles in order to hurry up, but now, there is no bulge of pebbles at all, and it is like a whole piece of deliberately artificially carved huge stone.
An imperial guard was standing in front of the stone wall with a helmet and armor. Well... Looking at the stone wall, he was in a bad mood. Who said that it was built by pebbles? I didn't see any pebbles at all.
But now is not the time to complain. With his command, dozens of excellent archers first stood up, half of whom used compound bows, while the other half used a slash crossbow.
With the order of an officer, twenty arrows shot neatly towards the stone wall twenty steps away. Then, everyone saw that the arrows just bounced on the wall and landed one after another.
It seemed that some tiny white dots were left on the wall, and then there was a crossbow. The powerful crossbow arrows also encountered the same fate as bows and arrows. There was no way to penetrate deep into the wall.
Seeing this, the look of reticence on Zhu Guangting's face gradually faded, and replaced by a reserved and cautious attitude. At this time, with the command of the Imperial Guard, a city-killing car specially used to attack the city gate and the city wall, slowly approached the stone wall under the push of nearly twenty Imperial Guard soldiers.
After arriving under the stone wall, with the sound of orders, the heavy copper-headed log in the city car began to shake, accompanied by the horn, shaking it, and then hitting it hard in front of it.
The dull and loud noise caused by each impact made people's heart beat. Chen Andao, who was standing next to Wang Yang, had his hands covered his mouth at some point. He seemed to be afraid that with the impact of the city-striking car, the extremely strong stone wall would collapse.
"Five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten...eleven...hey? Why is there no movement yet?" An old martial official who had been through the battlefield whispered to count the number of impacts next to him, which was far more than the usual number of times he dealt with mud walls as thick as three feet.
However, the stone wall seemed to be silent. He simply walked around behind the stone wall with several experienced military officials, but could not see a crack in the rear.
More ministers, including Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, stayed there, but their expressions seemed very serious.
"Stop, stop, stop!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the car in the city.
The imperial guard general who was commanding this siege drill couldn't help but shout why he wanted to stop.
"General, our hammer head is already bald. Should we change the hammer head and then smash it?" After the little officer who was commanding the impact in the city crash came out, he wiped a sweat from his face and reported to the imperial guards' general.
"Then pull the city-killing car to see what the hit part looks like..." An old martial official walked up to him and ordered.
Soon, the heavy rusher was slowly dragged away, revealing the impacted part, and revealing the impacted part in front of everyone was about a depression of about half a foot deep. Inside, a bamboo basket was finally exposed, and even pebbles could be seen.
However, the entire wall did not tend to crack or be shaking at all. At this time, even Gao Taotao came over.
Then his eyes fell on the martial officials who had come to the sag and discussed fiercely, and asked, "Lao Qing's family, you are all old corpses who have been on the battlefield. If it were ordinary city walls, would it be like this after such a collision?"
"Greeting back to the emperor, the village wall we built in the past was completely made of stone, glued with lime and clay, and mixed with wood. If it was hit by a city car, it would be a dozen times.
I am afraid that this area, at least the nearest part of the village wall will be worried about destruction. If it is a stone fort built in a hurry, if it is the same thickness, it is probably not enough to use ten strokes, and this village wall will definitely collapse."
"Congratulations to the Queen, congratulations to Your Majesty, the solidity of the Yuanyou cement is as solid as this little Wang said. It is definitely a rare good thing for my Song Dynasty. If the many forts in the north of my Song Dynasty are bonded with this thing, there would be almost no way to use the siege equipment of Xixia and Beiliao." Another old martial official was so excited that his mouth was trembling.
"Empress, there are other siege equipment that have not been tested yet, but still need to continue?" At this time, the imperial guard with a distressed look on his face was about to walk to Gao Taotao and asked quietly.
"This is not something that needs to be tried. Even hitting a city car can't play a big role. Do you think other siege equipment can destroy this stone wall?" An old martial artist couldn't help but glar at this inexplicable junior.
"Empress, since these equipment have been shipped, why not, if you try the stone throwing cart and crossbow, you might be able to achieve great achievements?" Xu Degong was very unhappy, especially after seeing those old corpses standing on Wang Yang's side, his mood became increasingly unbeautiful.
Damn I gave you pebbles, you made it so strong. Isn't this slap our house in the face?
"Since it's all shipped, that's fine, let's try it. The Ai family really wants to see how this stone wall will fall down." Gao Taotao nodded deeply in agreement.
After saying this, Gao Taotao ordered again. "I'll wait half an hour. If this stone wall can be destroyed, the Ai family will have many experiences."
Well, after hearing Gao Taotao's words, the originally sluggish soldiers of the imperial guards were like they were injected with chicken blood.
The head of the copper hammer of the car crashed into the city is broken. OK, let's change the head of the iron hammer and continue to try it. Over there, the size of the stone throwing cart can throw as big as the stone. And you, the crossbow, this thing is finally transported over and you can't let it have a good meal, right?
Then, everyone began to watch the over a hundred imperial guards exerted their strength. Unfortunately, whether it was a stone smash, a giant crossbow shooting, or a city car crash and a city car to continue to replace people.
The stone walls stood there unmovedly, and Chen Andao looked like he would have a heart attack at any time from the beginning. Later, he could even squat with Wang Yang and chat and laugh.
