In an instant, dozens or hundreds of stones as big as millstones were thrown out high at the same time, flying quickly to the sky above Jincheng. Each of these stones weighed about tens of kilograms, plus the weight of the thrown stones.
Out, and the potential energy falling downward after reaching the highest point, the force and impact generated become more powerful.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless stone bullets, with the impact of destroying everything, hit the wall of Jincheng almost at the same time, and instantly there was a huge roar that reached into the sky.
Under the flying rocks all over the sky, before the countless defenders on the Golden City could even realize what was happening, they were smashed into a pile of fleshy pulp by the huge boulders that were like falling rain, covered with scarlet blood and white blood.
His brains shot out and splattered out in all directions.
"Ah!~"
The soldiers who were directly hit died in an instant. Although the scene was a bit tragic, they still did not endure the pain. The most miserable ones were the soldiers who were rubbed by the rolling stones, whose muscles and bones were broken, and whose bodies were dragged behind. It was an unbearable drama.
The pain made them unable to help but let out shocking screams and wails, destroying the morale of their soldiers one after another.
"Spread out and avoid!" Cheng Gongying, who came to the city wall after eating the morning meal on the city tower, reacted immediately and shouted loudly, instructing the defenders on the city tower to avoid.
"Not bad!" Looking at the city wall that was instantly covered by the rain of stones from a distance, and listening to the loud noise that echoed through the sky, Meng Tian's heart trembled, and he silently turned around and looked at each other with Jia Xu, who was surprised by the trebuchet.
In terms of power, I am also thinking about how to make full use of the trebuchet, a powerful weapon.
"Continue to prepare!" After a wave of stone bombs were completed, the captain roared and directed the soldiers next to the trebuchet to continue operating. After quickly loading, he fired hard again.
With a bang, a loud noise sounded again. Even though they were on guard, many of the city's defenders still died under the flying rocks that filled the sky.
The blue city wall was instantly stained red with blood. The soldiers and horses of Jincheng, who had never seen such a scene, were greatly demoralized for a moment. They looked at the flying stone bullets in panic, and the retreat was right in front of them.
.
"The central troops withdrew the city wall, and the left and right troops moved closer to the two walls. Let's give up this place for the time being!" Cheng Gongying, who was always watching the status of his troops, understood that if this continued, he would not even need to attack Meng Tian outside the city.
He was about to break up first. In desperation, he could only order the soldiers on the section of the city wall facing Tushan to retreat down the city wall first, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses on both sides to move closer to the area away from this section of the city wall.
Although he didn't think of a good way to crack it for a while, Cheng Gongying also understood that if the stone fell from the sky, it was definitely a short-sighted master. Although Meng Tian could use this to drive away the defenders here, but
As long as he lets his soldiers and horses attack the city, he must stop the flying stone attack, otherwise he will hurt his own soldiers and horses, and the damage to their morale will definitely far exceed the damage to himself.
In other words, although this thing looks bluffing and has amazing power, it is actually more suitable for defending the city. If it is attacking the city, its shocking effect is far greater than its practical effect.
"Stop!" On the earth mountain, relying on his extraordinary eyesight strengthened by Gang Qi, Meng Tian immediately discovered Cheng Gongying's response method. He immediately waved his hand and stopped the stone-throwing troops who were preparing to continue the attack.
Jia Xu on the side said, "It seems that this old boy Cheng Gongying is not stupid at all. He discovered the weakness of the trebuchet so quickly!"
"Haha!" Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Zizheng, then you have underestimated the master's sharp weapon! But the deterrent effect at this time is enough for us. Next, as long as they dare to attack this section of the city wall,
Just order people to smash them if they show up. You don’t want to cause harm to them, as long as you can suppress their morale and prevent them from discovering and observing the movements here!"
"Huh?!" Meng Tian, who heard something in Jia Xu's words, glanced at him doubtfully, first turned around and gave an order to the trebuchet captain on the side, and then asked, "Wen He, what do you mean?
?”
"Zizheng, I heard that many of the soldiers and horses under your command have done the work of local masters before?" Jia Xu did not directly answer Meng Tian's words, but asked instead.
"Hmm?!" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, his expression changed, he pondered for a while, his eyes lit up and he replied, "There are indeed quite a few. When we first started the army, our base was weak. Under the order of the lord, a few of us,
I have raided Beiyuan several times, where the medicinal materials are produced, and the terrain is full of dragons and tigers, so I have indeed recruited a lot of brothers in this field!"
"Wen He, are you going to dig a tunnel directly from here into the city? Will you be discovered? If Cheng Gongying discovers it, no matter whether we use the horizontal tunnel method or flooding with smoke, our efforts will be in vain.
And the damage done to the brothers will definitely not be that low, are you sure you want to use this method?!"
"Zizheng, there are many flaws in the tunnel siege method, and there are many ways to crack it, but that is based on the premise that they will be discovered. Now we have made so many preparations, coupled with the shock of the trebuchet, let's not talk about it for now.
The probability of being discovered by Cheng Gongying, even if he is discovered, I have not said that I will use a large army to attack the city through the tunnel! I just want to dig a small passage first!" Jia Xu Weiwei
He smiled, looked at the confused Meng Tian and continued, "Don't you think it would be much easier for us to just dig a small tunnel and get a few hundred elites in and open the city gate than to storm the city? Besides, even if we don't open the city gate, we can send in some elites.
, wouldn’t it be good to find a way to kill Cheng Gongying, or contact the wealthy families in the city who are dissatisfied with the rule of Cheng Gongying or Han Sui, and even want to surrender and change their flags?!”
"No need to attack the city with a large army? Assassinate Cheng Gongying and contact the wealthy families in Jincheng to rebel in the city?" Meng Tian, who originally thought he had understood Jia Xu's thoughts, couldn't help but was stunned. He looked at Jia Xu's honest smile and thought about all the strategies he mentioned.
Seeing the final result, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble. He muttered something like Lao Yinbi secretly, and said, "Since Wen He knows what's going on, I believe you!"
"Okay, of course I won't joke about this kind of thing!" Jia Xu's round and fat face trembled slightly, turned around, and moved towards the bottom of the mountain while saying to Meng Tian, "Oh! By the way, Zizheng, if the other party
It has emerged. While you are ordering the trebuchet to hit the city, you'd better make a siege posture to confuse Cheng Gongying. Although the chance of success is not too high, it will be enough as long as it can make him think wildly!"
