Naturally, Zhou's firearms cannot be compared with those of Chu. Not only are they incomparable, they are far behind.
The power of Zhentian Lei is far behind, and the distance of the bomb-dropping vehicle is also far behind that of Chu State. There is no telescope that can locate the Prairie Wolf Cavalry in advance and artillery for larger-scale destruction. The research on fire blunderbuss is basically the same.
at zero.
It can be said that if such crude firearms were used against the Chu State, they would definitely fail miserably, and it would be terrible.
But that's definitely enough to deal with these wolf pups in the grassland!
Let’s not talk about the level of damage for the moment. The explosion, which was comparable to thunder, would probably frighten many horses in the grassland.
Su Zhong stood on the city tower and watched from a distance. These wolf cubs would come to attack the city almost every few days. It was really frustrating for him to stay in the pass like this. He originally wanted to lead the crowd to fight out.
, killing the grassland to the point of losing all their armor, but there was no guarantee of victory. But it was different now, Su Zhong could finally lead the army to fight back!
The Imperial Preceptor standing next to Su Zhong looked at Su Zhong and said, "Since the day of counterattack has arrived, it's time for me to go back. This battle must bring out the prestige of our Zhou Kingdom!"
Su Zhong cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Imperial Master, at the end of this battle we will go all out to enhance our country's prestige!"
The Imperial Master continued to speak: "The Chu State is now absorbing all the tribes in the grassland, intending to completely conquer the grassland and make the grassland become part of our Central Plains. Since the Chu State is like this, we Zhou State cannot fall behind, otherwise if all the grasslands outside the pass become Chu
The territory of the country, then from now on our Zhou Kingdom will really be attacked from both sides."
Su Zhong said solemnly, "General, I finally understand."
In the past, even if the Central Plains could conquer the grasslands, they would withdraw into the pass because the grasslands were really not suitable for the Central Plains people to live in. Otherwise, why would all the grassland people want to take over the Central Plains?
But it won’t work this time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time the Chu State is not trying to defeat the grassland or completely conquer the grassland. If after this battle, the south of the grassland belongs to the Chu State, then the Zhou State’s position will be in danger.
Already.
Although Chu State had helped Zhou State a lot this time, the brothers still had to settle accounts, so naturally they had to guard against it, even if they couldn't guard it at all.
The State of Zhou was suppressed by the State of Chu for sixty years, and it also gained experience from being suppressed.
The experience they gained was to copy homework.
Just like the firearms this time, how to occupy the grasslands that normal people in the Central Plains are unwilling to go will naturally have to copy the work of the Chu State.
They would do whatever the Chu State did. Wasn't it just to win over the tribal people?
They pull too!
But before pulling, we have to eliminate the annoying group of grassland troops outside!
As soon as Zhou's firearms arrived, the craftsmen in the army began to build catapults, but instead of throwing stones, they threw thunder and kerosene.
This time Zhou State sent a large number of people to build the catapult, and it took seven days to complete it and push it onto the tower.
seventh day
In the handsome tent
The fourth prince looked at the third prince and said, "Third brother, Zhou's counterattack seems to be getting weaker and weaker these days."
The third prince nodded and said: "How can it be so easy to resist the wolf cavalry in our grassland? Even if it is a feint attack, it is still unstoppable!"
The fourth prince smiled and said, "I heard earlier that Zhou was ineffective and suffered many defeats at the hands of Chu. I didn't expect that it was so vulnerable. Look at these days, it has been huddled within the city gates, and even went out to fight the enemy.
I don’t even dare, it’s really unbearable!”
The third prince looked at the fourth prince and asked, "What do you think?"
The fourth prince said, "Now that the Zhou Kingdom's counterattack is getting weaker and weaker, it must be because of our successive sieges on the grassland, which scared them out of their wits. If we can lead the troops to win the Zhou Kingdom's first pass in one fell swoop, father
Khan will be very happy when he finds out! Then my third brother and I will be a great sight on the grassland!"
The third prince smiled and said: "It makes sense. If we can capture the passes of Zhou Kingdom, our grassland will definitely dominate the world. But we secretly disobey orders. If Father Khan tracks down..."
The fourth prince smiled and said, "If we can conquer the border, even if Father Khan tracks him down, it will be a great achievement of ours! Third brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The third prince asked; "Are there sufficient siege equipment?"
The fourth prince said, "The most built things these days are siege equipment. Let alone one city, it is enough to capture three cities!"
When the third prince heard this, he finally knocked on the table and said: "Okay! Let's do it! From today on, our grassland will no longer feign attacks. Within seven days, we will definitely defeat the Zhou Kingdom and seize the pass that the Zhou Kingdom blocks our grassland!"
When the fourth prince heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Third brother is wise!"
…
It can be said that the grassland has been smooth sailing these days. Even with a feint attack, they almost reached the pass city wall. Zhou's resistance became weaker and weaker. Even when they attacked near the city wall, they could vaguely see the top of the city wall.
Many military doctors are treating the wounded and bandaging their chests and brains.
It is not difficult to imagine that these wounded must be Zhou soldiers who were shot and wounded when they fired arrows in feigned attacks again and again.
Moreover, many of the Zhou soldiers who participated in the pass patrol were injured, and they could clearly see it under the pass city wall!
Since their feints can achieve such results, why do they still feint?
Maybe if they work together they can take down this already scarred pass!
Take a step back and talk, what if Zhou Guo really has an ambush?
How much success can they achieve by hiding in the city?
Even if they find that the momentum is not right, they can simply retreat.
It can be said that if their guess is true, they will make a profit; if they are fooled, they will not lose much.
So the third prince and the fourth prince combined together, this is what happened!
Since it is a business with guaranteed profits, why not give it a try?
…
On the top of the city tower, Su Zhong looked at the denser numbers of people approaching the city defense below the city gate, with a smile on his face. After playing the game for so long, they finally got fooled.
If there are no firearms, there is no point in being fooled on the grassland. They can retreat at any time. After all, the range of bows and arrows is only 150 steps. Although the city defense crossbow has a longer range and is more powerful, it is not a range of damage after all, and loading is also quite troublesome.
, after shooting two or three rounds and taking time to reload, the enemy troops should rush to the city wall, prepare wood, rolling stones and gold juice, and figure out how to defend the city.
But firearms are different, they can be used for both distance and close combat.
When the enemy is far away, just use the catapult to throw it further. Even if the enemy rushes to the bottom of the city, you can also directly light it and throw it down manually. The broken iron pieces inspired by it can penetrate even ordinary armor!
Although Zhou's thunderbolt attack on the city is still short of time, it is miraculous in defending the city!
Grassland has only missed one point in all calculations, and that is that their opponents already have firearms!
