The commander glanced at the other party. You can see for yourself whether it is true or not. With so many soldiers and horses coming, if the Chinese are here for tourism, he himself does not believe it.
"Immediately spread the news to all ministries, have the troops climb the wall, and are the interception nets ready?"
Mifret also knew that he was lying to himself. Although he knew that the Chinese might be serious this time, he still wanted the other party to rest for a few days. It would be best to run out of food and grass and retreat as a whole.
"The interception network has been ready, and the generals of various ministries have also notified them. I believe these soldiers will board the city wall in a short time."
"That's good. Now that the Chinese are attacking, how should they deal with our interception network? Could it be that the other side has already figured out a countermeasure?"
Miffleit nodded, but he still couldn't figure it out. After all, he had an interception net and the opponent's trebuchet had been contained by him. Could it be said that the opponent could really break through?
"This is not something I can know. I hope that the Chinese people can't break through our interception network. In this case, their trip this time is destined to be in vain. After all, there are too many people on the other side. If they are equipped with trebuchets,
Then it might be difficult for us to defend this place."
Regarding Mifulet's question, the commander also shook his head. He has seen how powerful the opponent's trebuchet is. Even if there is an interception net, he will suffer a lot of losses. If the opponent really ignores the interception net, he will suffer a lot.
, he was very afraid whether the city of Gambilas could be defended.
"Don't worry, the craftsmen of the empire are still doing research. They still haven't figured out how to break through the iron interception net. I believe the same is true on the Chinese side. As long as the enemy's trebuchet is useless and the human sea attack alone, 200,000
It is easy for a large army to resist hundreds of thousands of Chinese people."
Seeing the frustrated face of the captain, Mifret patted the other man's shoulder and told him not to be too frustrated. The top scholars and craftsmen in his country have not been idle these days, and they have not thought of a way to break through the interception net.
It is impossible to believe the Chinese people.
The Chinese army arrived at the gate of Gambilas City, and the pressure brought by hundreds of thousands of troops lined up directly swept over the Kushan City.
"Your Majesty, would you like to assemble the nightmare trebuchet now?"
Tian Feng came to Yuan Shu and looked at the city wall that cost him his troops last time. He couldn't help but sneer.
"Well, the assembly of Nightmare is definitely necessary. In addition, I ordered the other trebuchets to be assembled as well, as well as the Scholar No. 2 trebuchet. Pull them out for me. As long as Nightmare breaks through the enemy's defense, I will let the Kushan people
Taste what despair is."
Yuan Shu nodded, little Kushan people, now let you taste what a nightmare is.
"promise."
Yuan Shu's military order was issued, and the trebuchets began to be assembled outside the array. At the same time, the nightmare trebuchets were also installed by countless craftsmen, and began to show their figures among the army.
Soon the assembly of the trebuchets was completed. Fifty trebuchets were lined up in a row, loaded with ammunition and ready to fire. At the same time, the assembly of thirty Scholar No. 2 movable trebuchets was also completed. As long as Yuan Shu gave an order, they could follow the troops to the enemy.
In front, suppress the Kushan soldiers on the city wall at close range,
A building truck was also formed in the army, thirty of them. This is already all the building trucks on Yuan Shu's side. The reason why they have to get them all is because Yuan Shu has made up his mind to capture Gambilas today.
city.
"The enemy's trebuchets are ready, why not attack?"
Seeing that the Chinese trebuchets were lined up in front of them, but they did not launch an attack, Mifulet's eyes were full of doubts.
"I don't know, maybe the Chinese people are waiting for something."
Faced with Mifflet's question, the commander also shook his head. During the last attack, the enemy launched an attack as soon as the trebuchets were assembled. This was too abnormal.
"wait for what?
Can you identify which one?
Did the last attack appear?"
Mifret also agreed with the commander's words. The opponent must have some secret weapon when they made it clear that they were ready but did not attack. However, he did not know what the secret weapon was.
"Absolutely not, but looking at this posture, he must be a big guy. Could it be that this is the opponent's secret weapon?"
The captain had long since noticed the nightmare trebuchet that occupies a huge area. If nothing else, in terms of the area it occupies, it must be an unimaginably huge thing.
"Let the Hamar scholar come over immediately and let him identify it and see what it is."
"yes."
Soon Hamar, the top scholar in the Kushan Empire, climbed onto the city wall under the protection of soldiers. As soon as he came up, his eyes were fixed on Nightmare.
"Scholar Hamar, can you tell what that thing is?"
Seeing that the other party also noticed the nightmare trebuchet being assembled, Mifret asked directly.
"I don't know, this seems to be some kind of large engineering equipment. Judging from the area of the area, this siege weapon should have the characteristics of long attack distance and strong attack power. If it is really a trebuchet, it is difficult to imagine that the opponent will
What kind of ammunition is fired?"
After all, Hamar was very knowledgeable. He could see the possible effects of nightmares at a glance and made predictions at the same time.
"Then according to your estimation, if the opponent is really a trebuchet, can we withstand the opponent's attack, or can they break through our interception network."
Hearing Hamal's words, Mifulet couldn't help but frown. If it was true as what the other party said, he didn't know if he could resist it.
"If we look at the maximum strength of the interception network we calculated, it should not be able to withstand the opponent's attack."
Originally Hammar didn't want to say anything, but since the other party asked, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the other party if he didn't answer.
"Then what should we do? There must be some countermeasures. Should we just let the Chinese people bombard my city wall?"
Sure enough, Hammar is a scholar, not a politician. He did not hide the current situation at all and expressed his estimation.
"It's not that there is no way. One layer of interception net may not be able to withstand the opponent's attack, but if the interception net is stacked in multiple layers, it may be able to work. However, this also has a drawback, that is, there may be gaps in the city wall. If it is
The enemy's scattershot attack may cause heavy losses."
Hamar is also a smart man. After thinking about it in his mind, he directly expressed his thoughts on how to deal with the nightmare trebuchet.
"I can't control that much anymore. In this way, order the soldiers to prepare. If the other side doesn't have any new offensive, it's okay. If something is really difficult to resist, use the method of Hamar scholars.
Even if you abandon some unimportant places, you must ensure the safety of the city defense equipment. This is a powerful weapon for us to resist the Chinese attack. We must not make any mistakes."
Although Hamar's response method still has some shortcomings, it is already the best method.
"yes."
After hearing Mifulet's order, the interception net that originally walked the entire city wall began to gather towards the place where the defense equipment was located. If something unexpected happened, they would not be in a hurry.
As time goes by, the construction of the Nightmare Trebuchet is getting faster and faster. The main pole with a height of more than ten meters and the throwing arm with the same length, as well as the objects piled up around it with steel, all demonstrate the power and transcendence of the Nightmare.
The sense of technology of this era.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Nightmare Trebuchet will still take some time. Do you want to use the trebuchet to attack first to warm it up?"
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shu. He also asked Yuan Wei just now that it would take some time for the nightmare to be completely completed and whether he wanted to warm up first.
"No, warming up now is a waste of ammunition. Wait, I can wait, why can't you wait?"
Yuan Shu shook his head. Although it was said that these stone bullets would be recovered even if they were fired until the battle was completed, but people don't know how valuable materials are. Ju Shu and Xun Yu were already tightening their belts in the back. If they were still
I am a rich second generation, and when the time comes I will be done with it until I run out of ammunition and food.
"Your Majesty, haven't you noticed the movements of the Kushan people?"
Although Yuan Shu said so, Tian Feng had a different idea.
"Um?
Listening to what you said, the enemy is indeed somewhat different. It seems that the interception nets are beginning to gather in the direction of the defensive equipment. Do they feel something? Could it be that they have guessed the attack power of the nightmare and want to rely on the multi-layer interception nets to protect those attackers?
City equipment?”
Yuan Shu was not stupid either. He might not have cared about it at first, but after Tian Feng spoke, he immediately noticed the enemy's strangeness and analyzed the enemy's thoughts.
"That's right, that's why I want to let the trebuchets launch an attack and conduct a pre-warming attack to let them see our strength. In this way, their interception network will inevitably spread out again. When the nightmare is assembled, they can attack
The enemy launches his most powerful attack."
Tian Feng nodded to Yuan Shu. Since the enemy wants to carry out key protection, he will launch a full-scale attack and beat you to pieces to see how you respond.
"Then just do as you say, and do whatever you want."
Now that Tian Feng has made it clear, Yuan Shu also thinks that what the other party said makes sense.
"promise."
Yuan Shu's order soon spread to the Chinese army. Yuan Wei was now concentrating on directing the assembly of the nightmare trebuchet, so the trebuchet on the front line was temporarily handed over to another counselor.
"Everything is available, and one shot from the trebuchet is ready."
