The role of military fortresses is still very obvious. Relying on several military fortresses and connecting points, Gurhan's army built a very solid defense line and successfully blocked the attack of Mengge's army. In the end, Gurhan's army had
A fierce general like Xiao Feng had nothing to do when faced with a military fortress. The grassland tribes who had no engineering weapons had no choice but to use their lives!
But now, the defense line built by Gurhan's army is the last hope. If this line of defense collapses, the vast plain behind will no longer be able to stop Brother Meng's army. At that time, they can only rely on
The royal court made its final struggle, so Gur Khan's army also fought for their lives and refused to retreat!
The generals on both sides knew that this was a war in which you died or I died. Facing the iron wall hooked up by Gurhan's army, Meng Ge's army attacked for several days, but with little effect. Let alone a breakthrough, even
It became extremely difficult to rush up to the city wall. Zeng Yi and the others did not follow Xiao Feng to take the lead. Such an siege battle with more than 2,000 of their people was no different from dying. Other players did not participate too much. They had already experienced several times.
This is the first siege battle like this, and the players also know that if they participate now, they will lose money!
Faced with this situation, the players all knew that at this time, they were on Gu'er Khan's side to kill more people, so a large number of players chose to rebel and defected to Gu'er Khan's side. Zeng Yi actually wanted to defect to the other side.
At this moment, it was much easier to be on the opposite side. He could stand on the city wall and shoot directly. However, due to his relationship with Xiao Feng, he really didn't dare to do this. If Xiao Feng and the others saw him, this relationship would not be good in the future!
After following Brother Meng's army for a few days, there was still no progress. That night, Zeng Yi went to see Xiao Feng for a drink. Xiao Feng changed from the sadness of the previous few days and became much happier. Zeng Yi knew something good was going on and hurriedly
He asked, "What's going on? What makes eldest brother so happy?"
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Good thing! There have been too many casualties these days, but we still can't break through the enemy's defense line. Meng Ge Khan contacted the king of Xixia Kingdom, and Xixia decided to support a batch of siege equipment. With this batch of hero equipment,
The soldiers on the front line will shed less blood!"
Siege equipment! Zeng Yi was very surprised. He didn’t expect that Xixia would agree to support such a thing! Later Zeng Yi learned from Xiao Feng that these siege equipment were not free, but that Brother Meng spent a lot of money and did not ask for anything.
As Zeng Yi thought, weapons such as ballistae and repeating crossbows were just ordinary siege equipment, siege towers, ramming vehicles and the like!
The siege tower is tall and equipped with wheels under the tower, allowing it to travel. During a siege battle, push it close to the city wall, and soldiers can step directly from the platform on the top of the tower to the enemy's city wall. The ramming vehicle has a
The huge wooden pile will have an iron head on it, swinging back and forth inside the cover, and hitting the city wall or gate. After hitting the city wall, the wooden pile will swing back and continue to hit the city wall. This kind of impact
The force can break through city gates or stone walls made of thick wooden boards, opening a gap for attack.
These two kinds of siege equipment have no direct lethality, but there is also a batch of trebuchets in this batch of siege equipment. This thing is quite scary. It is also called a cannon. It is a kind of siege weapon in ancient times. But
Throwing one or more boulders into the enemy's walls and cities to cause damage is the best siege weapon in the cold weapon era. The trebuchet can also throw filth, dead animals, enemy dead heads, and prisoner corpses.
To scare the people in the city.
Zeng Yi never expected that Xixia would take out his own special weapon. This thing is usually something that you won’t sell for a lot of money! Later Zeng Yi found out that the Xixia people were not that stupid, they just gave it to fierce people.
A batch of human-powered trebuchets. The human-powered trebuchet uses manpower to pull the tip connected to the crossbar at a place far away from the trebuchet. The tip is mounted on a wooden frame, and one end is tied with a rope to hold the stone bullet.
The other end is tied with many ropes for manpower to pull and throw the stone bullets. The cannon tips are divided into single tips and multi-tips. The most has seven tips mounted on a gun stand, which requires 50 people to cast.
Zeng Yicai felt relieved and thought: "Madeh, it's a good thing that the Xixia people didn't bring out the Huihui artillery." "Huihui artillery" is also known as the Western Region artillery and the boulder cannon. It is a trebuchet, a weapon used for offensive and defensive warfare.
This kind of trebuchet is a kind of trebuchet that people from the Western Regions improved on the basis of the ancient trebuchet. It is more advanced and more powerful. If Brother Meng gets this weapon, Gurhan's defense line will still be
I really can’t hold on for a few days!
He was very interested in siege equipment. Zeng Yi quietly tricked Xiao Feng into talking a lot. Xiao Feng didn't think much about it, but he knew everything. In fact, Xiao Feng also played a bigger role in this than business. Brother Meng and Yeluhong
The two of them, in the name of Xiao Feng, talked with Xu Zhu about purchasing siege equipment. Xu Zhu facilitated the matter for Xiao Feng's sake, but Brother Meng didn't get all the siege equipment.
Xiao Feng contributed a lot, so naturally he had to fight for some of it for the Khitan, and in the end about one third was allocated to the Khitan tribe!
According to Xiao Feng, Xixia has been prepared and will be shipped to the grassland in the near future! After asking these things, Zeng Yi calmly started drinking with Xiao Feng. After drinking, Zeng Yi left Xiao Feng! As soon as he left Xiao Feng's camp, Zeng Yi
Yi hurriedly committed suicide and returned to the capital. These siege weapons could affect the situation of the war. Zeng Yi must notify Qinglong in time!
Returning to the capital, Zeng Yi ignored the fact that it was getting dark and came to the Jinyiwei Yamen. Fortunately, Qinglong was not asleep yet, and he and Tuo Tuo were having dinner. Zeng Yi was not polite, sat down on the table, and started eating.
, while eating, he said: "The dishes from the Central Plains are still delicious. In addition to grilling, the grassland is also grilled!"
Qinglong and his wife glared at him angrily, "Why are you coming back so late at night?"
"Hehe! Master, I got some important information. Brother Meng ordered a batch of siege equipment from Xixia, including trebuchets!"
I thought that Qinglong might be shocked, but the result was that his expression was very dull. Zeng Yi immediately reacted: "Master! Did you know this earlier?"
"A few days ago, I received the report from the spies, but I didn't expect that Xixia even provided the trebuchet to Brother Meng!"
"We didn't provide return artillery, we just provided some man-made trebuchets!"
"Aw! I also hope they provide return cannons, so that we can get a few back and study them carefully!"
"..." Facing such a shameless Qinglong, Zeng Yi felt uncomfortable for a while! (To be continued.)
