Although a large number of ballistae were prepared on the walls of Haiyang City, Hu Biao and the others also prepared equipment such as trebuchets in order to deal with such a situation.
They were all made by three people, Lang Qing, Lao Tie, and Lao Tie, together with some carpenters and blacksmiths in the city.
As some modern people, it is naturally impossible to make such an antique item as a single-shot cannon. The Western-style torque trebuchet is their choice.
The only problem is that due to the limitations of materials such as beef tendon, only six units were produced in total.
After it was produced, two were placed on the north and south city walls, and only one was placed on the two east and west city walls without city gates.
Previously, everything was covered with tarpaulin.
The number is a little less, but that doesn’t matter. If netizens say that they compare to the ancients in terms of poetry, lyrics, and poetry, they are basically at the scum level.
But when it comes to the mathematics of ballistic calculations, it definitely surpasses more than 99% of the ancients.
Therefore, they can shoot more accurately.
Besides, don't they still have ballistas? This thing can also play a part in the next battle.
Ignoring the unlucky guy Lao Tie and his even more ridiculous last words, in such a fierce battle with heavy firepower, the Haiyang City side won the final victory.
Ali: "..."
Anyway, after hearing the cry for help, Ali ran along the wall, bent down, and hurriedly came to Lao Tie.
After carefully planning for so long and deliberately taking his subordinates to watch the battle, the result was such an ending.
Unfortunately, after standing up, Lao Tie yelled "launch".
That 30-pound stone was also five or six meters away from the target, and it hit nothing.
At least she had only studied "Junior Veterinary Specialization" and some other courses on the Internet, so she couldn't be saved.
At this time, Lao Tie finally became a little annoyed and dodged a wave of stones on the opposite side again; he shouted out:
"Twist the winding one quarter turn more and turn it one notch to the left."
After the throwing rod was flattened and the tendons were tightened, a 30-pound stone that was slightly polished to be rounder was placed into a bucket that was as big as a spoon.
Then, the second shot of rocks directed by Lao Tie was missed again.
Not to say that every shot is sure to hit, but in two or three shots, he can defeat the opponent's opponent, which is already considered very good.
"Kneel down and raise your shield~'
I never thought that Wanyan Lou would be given such an order.
Although the helmet on his head was of good quality, it still couldn't withstand such damage.
After saying that, the guy left calmly.
He directed his men to turn the winch vigorously to level the catapult's throwing pole.
As if someone had slapped her in the face more than a dozen times in public, Wanyan Loushi's face became extremely ugly.
After the stone hit the ground, it bounced off the ground and broke an operator's left leg.
The battle lasted until early ten o'clock in the morning and took almost four hours.
After three double-bow crossbows were damaged and about 30 people were injured or killed, all the numerous single-shot cannons outside the North Gate City were damaged, and the Jurchen side suffered more than 400 casualties.
As he shouted, the ballistas around him would also be fired one after another. As long as they hit the target, the operators on the opposite side would be knocked down directly.
So she looked at Lao Tie who refused to die, and said, "Brother, don't panic, we will resurrect you. This thing will be over as soon as your eyes open or close."
In short, when the single-shooter cannons on the opposite side fired in unison again.
Before he had time to yell out "launch"; after seeing the other party greeting him with another wave of rocks, he quickly yelled:
Seeing this, Ali quickly put her ear to it, and then she could hear a sentence in her ear: "Help tell everyone, the war elephant belongs to me, no one can compete with me~"
Although he also asked everyone around him to squat down and raise their shields, he was obviously a little careless.
Although the other party's accuracy is a little worse, but in case you are unlucky.
After hearing this sentence, Lao Tie's eyes suddenly flashed with IGRS look, and his mouth began to move.
After a quick calculation in his head, he had an idea in his mind, and shouted a new order to his subordinates who were busy loading:
"When winding, twist the upper half turn less and adjust two scales to the left, facing like this."
One of his men tried to defeat him and replied: "Commander, very few of the captured people are dead."
Finally, when the fifth stone hit, this time it finally hit the one at 11 o'clock, and the bar was directly smashed into two pieces by the stone.
In short, under Hu Biao's order, Lang Qing and others ran towards the trebuchet and ballista respectively, and suddenly a primitive heavy firepower battle in the late Northern Song Dynasty began under such a situation...
Then, this shot still missed.
But despite Ali's persuasion, Lao Tie still refused to close his eyes.
It was also from this moment on that Lao Tie seemed to have a new idea, constantly directing the trebuchet to adjust and fire.
After lying on the ground, looking at the injuries that seemed to be visible even to the brain through the bloody wounds, I sighed in my heart and knew that Lao Tie was hopeless.
Finally, he shouted to a soldier next to him: "Blow the trumpet and let the surrendered Liao army escort the remaining prisoners, fill the moat with earth, and use the earth mounds to cover the archers."
Then, after the shield above his head made a loud bang, before he could roll to the left, a stone hit his head.
Fortunately, Lao Tie was somewhat prepared for such a result. When modern dimensional artillery fires, they all pay attention to a test fire, check the impact point, and then adjust.
In other words, the ballista they fired may not be able to deal with the single-shot cannon, but it can kill the people who use the single-shot cannon.
"Quick, quick, quick~" I didn't care that there were several fire bubbles forming at the corners of my mouth because I was angry recently, and Lao Tie shouted loudly in his mouth.
The result was indeed the same. The nearest stone also fell seven or eight meters away, posing no threat to their trebuchet operation team at all.
Then, while the Jurchen soldiers who were supervising were yelling and scolding, some new surrendered Liao soldiers filled the positions full of stumps and broken arms.
It's just that Lao Tie, who was in excitement, didn't notice that during such a process, because he was the greatest threat, the number of stones beckoning towards him was increasing, and they were getting closer and closer to his position.
To this end, Ali added: "If you have any last words, you can tell me. Even if I can't do it, I will tell Lao Hu to help you do it."
After everything was ready, he took aim at a single-shot cannon in the 11 o'clock direction.
"Then send out the cavalry and continue to capture. I must break through Haiyang City." Wanyan Loushi yelled out such a sentence in his twisted face.
Under such circumstances, this offensive and defensive battle went through a relatively easy two days.
It has returned to the original ancient, bloody, ant-infested siege fighting method.
So from this moment on, the soldiers and civilians in Haiyang City began to die one by one, including many netizens. Lao Tie was just the beginning.
