Yuan Shu's order was Wang Fa. Since he gave such an order, there was no need to hesitate. With one order, all forty catapults were equipped with kerosene bombs wrapped in oilcloth.
"ignition."
"put."
With an order, the kerosene bombs on the forty trebuchets were instantly ignited, and then the trebuchets roared, and the sky was filled with kerosene bombs as hot as the blazing sun, and they smashed towards the Luxian city wall.
Looking at the kerosene bombs all over the sky, a trace of worry flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, but Gongye Chang on the side was calm and composed.
Seeing how calm Gongye Chang was, Liu Bei was worried but suppressed his worries to see what he had in store.
The city wall where the kerosene bombs hit was full of sparks, and the interceptor net was the same. But strangely enough, although the flaming kerosene bombs hung on the interceptor net were still on fire, the interceptor net did not burn with the kerosene bombs.
"Sir, what's the reason for this?"
Seeing that the net was intercepted even if it was not burning, Liu Bei couldn't turn his head. Why wouldn't ordinary wire nets be burned out?
"Sir, it is said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be invincible. Although I can't know my enemy, I can still know myself. What I fear most about my layout is fire attack, so I have also made preparations in advance. These lines and networks are all passed through
It is processed through a special process. Although it cannot be said that it is invulnerable to all fires, it will not be burned by ordinary flames for a while."
Chang Gongye saw Liu Bei's doubts and smiled directly to explain to him.
"As expected, he is a descendant of Gongshu Ban. He is so clever that Liu Bei admires him."
After hearing Chang Gongye's explanation, Liu Bei nodded. Whatever he could think of, Chang Gongye could also think of.
"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous."
Gong Yechang also smiled implicitly. These were just tricks to him. If he couldn't even think of this, he would have been a heir to the Gong family for so many years in vain.
"Lord, their master seems to be very familiar with the methods of siege. He knows what he is most afraid of, so he has strengthened it accordingly. This interception network must have been treated with corresponding fire protection. It is a bit difficult to handle."
Tian Feng saw that the interceptor net on the top of the city was not in contact with the fire, so he knew that the enemy must have anticipated the kerosene bombs, so he made corresponding fire prevention preparations.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the kerosene bombs don't work. I want to see how many stone bullets his interception net can block. Hit me as hard as you can. Hit me as many bullets as you bring. Launch a saturation attack. I
We are going to smash through the city of Luxian County. If that doesn’t work, we will put together nightmares and let them know what it means to be powerful.”
Since you, Liu Bei, are not afraid of fire, then use your strength to smash your turtle shell.
"promise."
Since Yuan Shu is determined to have a head-to-head contest with Liu Bei, and Tian Feng has nothing to say, let's give it a try.
"My lord has an order, hit it as hard as you can. If the trebuchet doesn't work, it will be a nightmare."
Yuan Shu's order was passed directly to the trebuchet troops, and when he heard this, Captain Yuan Yu's lips revealed a sinister smile.
Nightmare, haha, the lord seems to be really angry. You must know that it is not easy for this big guy to move once. Every shot is worth real money. Liu Bei is going to be unlucky.
"Zhou Shen, bring up all the trebuchets and ammunition for me. If one breaks down, replace it with another one, smash it, and throw all the stone bullets at me. In addition, order Nightmare to be ready to assemble it at any time."
"Boss, do you want to smash them all?"
When his team leader Zhou Shen heard Yuan Yu's words, he was a little confused for a moment.
You must know that Yuan Shujun's stone bullets are not ordinary stones, but carefully polished by craftsmen. Each stone bullet is made of real gold and silver, and the trebuchet used for launching also costs tens of thousands. Each one is made of money.
The piles are just like the live-fire drills of the current army, which saves stone bombs and trebuchets. But now the boss actually said that they can launch them at will, replace one if it breaks, and assemble a nightmare. Did I hear that right?
"Yes, that's right. Regardless of the cost or loss, crack open the tortoise shell of Lu County for me."
Yuan Yu smiled slightly at his men.
"Look, you can't take Lu County, so I'll take a look."
The team leader accepted the promise and then trotted all the way back to his position.
"Brothers, listen up, the captain has your life. Regardless of the cost, he will fire twenty rounds of heavy ammunition and break the city wall of Lu County."
"promise."
With the captain's order, the trebuchet troops were instantly excited. Heavy bombs were loaded into the trebuchets one after another, and then the machine's hammers mingled with each other, and all the stone bombs were smashed over.
Yuan Shu's army was excited about the trebuchet, but Liu Bei felt uncomfortable here. Although the interception net could intercept the stone projectiles of the trebuchet, there was a limit. Facing Yuan Shu's saturated attack, the interception net directly blocked almost half of the stone projectiles.
After the attack, the large-area interception net was torn apart by the saturated stone bullets, and then hit the Luxian city wall hard.
"Avoid, defend."
When Liu Bei saw that the interceptor net was torn apart, he shouted directly at the city wall.
"Mr. Gong Yechang, do you have any other clever ideas?
The things you mentioned that can fight against him haven't been assembled yet?"
Seeing that the interception net had failed and that the city wall wrapped in cooked cowhide was cracked by continuous stone bullets, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel anxious.
"alright."
Gongye Chang was also frightened for a while. Who knew Yuan Shu was so wealthy? You must know that the trebuchet cannot rotate continuously, so it is easy to be damaged.
What Yuan Shu did was clearly to use money to hit them, and they really couldn't withstand such a money offensive. Fortunately, his counterattack methods were also assembled and he could launch a counterattack.
"Then use it quickly and fight back."
Hearing Chief Gong Ye say that he was ready, Liu Bei immediately shouted back, even a little hysterical. He didn't want to see the Luxian city he had carefully prepared be buried under Yuan Shu's stone bullets.
After Chang Gongye finished speaking, he didn't talk nonsense and nodded directly to the person next to him. Then he saw that person immediately wave a red flag.
"Flag command, prepare the stone chariot."
Seeing the red flag on the city wall, the captain in charge below immediately became energetic and ordered the catapult to be ready.
The stones that had been prepared long ago were lifted together to the trebuchet's ammunition bag.
The red flag on top of the city waved down fiercely.
"There is an order at the top of the city, let go."
"put."
"put."
"put."
A series of words sounded, and the trebuchet that had been prepared erupted directly, and irregular stones cut through the sky and smashed towards the outside of the city.
The trebuchet troops couldn't help but panic when they saw the stones flying from a distance. After all, they had always had the advantage in sieges in the past and had never encountered an enemy's trebuchet.
"Calm down, they are not that accurate. No one is allowed to leave their posts without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
