The arm of this kind of trebuchet is made up of several wooden poles and thick and long tendons that are connected longitudinally, and then tied into a circle with wider strips of raw animal skin. When the animal skin dries, it will be reshaped.
Tight, hard, and indomitable, like a modern metal shell. Because the core technology of the tendon rope has been gradually lost after many rounds of circulation.
Therefore, Gao Huan only heard about it but could never make use of it.
Unexpectedly, Beihuang actually got such a thing. And there was not just one, but five.
Four small ones, specially used to throw rubble and dust, just to attack the enemy's crossbowmen.
In the center is the largest large catapult. This trebuchet can launch a projection range of about 550 to 580 meters.
At this time, the distance between the trebuchet and the city gate was about 500 meters, but in the middle were eighteen powerful men from the North, stirring the trebuchet and the rope, and a huge stone bullet roared.
, hit the west wall hard.
Even Gao Huan, who was on the top of the city, clearly felt the ground shaking under his feet. His expression suddenly changed, because he had never encountered such a clumsy guy in previous wars. The commander was horrified, and the soldiers were even more so.
In panic, there was a cheer from the Northern Army camp.
Gao Huan was even more panicked. Now, ordinary crossbowmen could not reach such a range. This was great. The opponent was waiting for work. He only used this guy to hit him one after another, but his own side was completely unable to fight back.
However, the Qi army only heard the loud banging noise and thought it was just a blow. They were not very frightened. For a while, they all lined up their troops on the city and prepared for the attack.
Gao Bao quietly asked: "Uncle, what will happen if they fight like this?"
"It will knock down our city wall..."
"Oh my god, no way..."
As soon as he finished speaking, another huge stone hit him, and the city wall almost shook. Everyone felt unsteady on their feet.
"No, if we let the Northern Army continue fighting like this, we will be doomed..."
Gao Bao also panicked: "Uncle, what should we do?"
