"Old General, if we want to smash the city wall, these trebuchets may not be powerful enough. There will be hundreds of them at least, and we need bigger vehicles."

Feng Yong explained.

"Is there any bigger one?"

Zhao Yun turned his head, his eyes bursting with strange light, and his gray beard was trembling slightly, showing his master's excitement.

He looked at the rock dump truck below with some disbelief.

The trebuchet that requires a base is already one size larger than the common trebuchet, but there is actually a larger one?

After receiving Feng Yong's affirmative answer, Zhao Yun laughed loudly and pointed at the city wall, "Quick, quick, hit it twice first!"

Then he narrowed his eyes again, "There seems to be a white circle on the city wall?"

"Ahem, exactly. That's the point they usually use to try to aim."

Feng Yong had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Okay, just hit that spot."

Zhao Yun nodded, "You smash it first, I will take a look at it later. I will make my own judgment on whether this thing poses a threat to the city wall."

Three hundred steps away, if it can still be so accurate, as long as it lands in the same position for several days or even dozens of days in a row, coupled with the power of such a throwing car, it is really possible to break the city wall.

The riprap truck below began to increase the lever and counterweight to the maximum. Even the stones weighed a hundred kilograms (hajin).

With the sound of wind and thunder, the huge stone hit near the white circle, making a roaring sound, as if there was muffled thunder in the sky.

Zhao Yun set up a pavilion and saw a puff of smoke rising from the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, stones were thrown one after another, and they all landed at the same approximate location.

"Excellent! Excellent!" Zhao Yun repeatedly praised, "As for the city walls, they are thin at the top and thick at the bottom. Most of the time, they can only hit the city gates if they are hit by cars."

"Now if this trebuchet can really break through the weak point of the city wall above, and then use a ladder to enter from the cave entrance, the city will be easily destroyed!"

On a sunny day, thunder continued to rumble. Zhao Yun was extremely happy. He asked Feng Yong to order to stop ejection, and then got off the high platform.

First, he walked under the incomplete arrow tower and looked at only half of the arrow tower, and then at the stones scattered not far away and sunk deeply into the soil.

He even bent down and tried to move it, then stood up straight and laughed: "Okay, okay!"

Everyone behind him laughed in unison.

Seeing Zhao Yun walking towards the city wall, Feng Yong quickly advised him: "Old General, this wall has been smashed, so be careful."

Zhao Yun waved his hand, "I can trust the work of the Nanxiang engineering team."

Feng Yong:……

Zhao Yun stood under the tall city wall and saw scattered stones falling at the base of the city wall.

He raised his head again and looked at the big white circle, with one word written inside: Dismantle.

There are many signs of being smashed around the word "demolished" and there are even two shallow pits, and small cracks can be faintly seen.

Seeing everyone looking up at the word "demolished", Feng Tubou followed slowly, "Old General, it's a bit dangerous here, let's get out of here first..."

Zhao Yun ignored him, and after a while he suddenly sighed, "I have been fighting all my life. I thought I was familiar with the war, but I didn't expect that my vision is not as good as that of a junior."

Although he was sighing, his tone was one of joy.

Wei Yan, on the other hand, looked a little ugly - the slap in the face came too fast and the taste was not pleasant.

Zhao Yun pointed to the word "demolished" and asked, "Is this city wall ever repaired?"

Feng Yong looked up and felt a little unsafe. Hearing this, he quickly replied: "Exactly."

"It was crushed by the rock dump truck of your engineering battalion, right?"

"right."

Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and looked at Feng Yong with great admiration: "How many riprap trucks were used and how long did it take?"

"Uh..." Feng Yong was speechless for a moment and quickly flipped through the notebook that Amei had handed to him earlier.

Sure enough, after turning a few pages, I saw the record inside: "A total of one hundred units were used, the longest one lasted twelve days, and the shortest one only seven days."

When he saw a note at the bottom, he quickly added, "Old General, this wall is built according to ordinary city wall standards. But those specially reinforced have not been tested yet."

The city walls of the Han Dynasty were far less mature than those of later generations, and were basically made of rammed clay.

The difference lies in the thickness of the city wall and the solidity of the rammed city wall.

What's special is that very few cities are partially covered with bricks.

So now most cities can only be younger brothers in front of counterweight trebuchets!

"That's enough!" Zhao Yun waved his hand proudly, "I have never heard of anyone being able to throw a cart to break the city. You are the first one now. The rumors about Longguan and Shanggui are true!"

While everyone was in a mood to admire the traces of the trebuchets, Jiang Wei secretly touched the city wall, then ran to the side and looked at the thickness of the city wall to confirm that it was a real city wall.

Recalling General Zhao's lament about the military talent, and seeing Zhang Ni, Jufu, Huo Yi and others who were protecting the Qiang Colonel's Mansion, they all looked calm.

He finally couldn't help but look at Feng Yong with horrified eyes.

Feng Junhou trained his army well and used his troops well. In addition, he had tigers and wolves under his command, and his officers and men were responsible for their lives.

If we were to attack the city again with overwhelming force, who would dare to stop him if he was not a famous general in the world?

After Zhao Yun repeatedly praised him, he directly took Feng Yong's hand and asked him to walk side by side with him, back to the stone dump truck.

The soldiers had no instructions for the next step, and they all lined up in a straight line.

If it had been any other time, Zhao Yun would have had to look at these soldiers a few more times.

But at this moment, his eyes had already been attracted by the stone dump truck.

He surrounded the car, like a child who sees his favorite toy, touching here and there, then he looked up again and gestured at the height, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Such a sharp weapon, paired with such a soldier and craftsman, is indeed worthy." Zhao Yun nodded, "If it were replaced by an ordinary soldier and craftsman, would it be a problem?"

Feng Yong shook his head: "It can't be done. Even if the car is dismantled and other craftsmen make it according to the pattern, the power will be reduced, and there are rules for how to operate the car."

"The power of the same car in the hands of the engineering battalion is very different from that in the hands of other people."

The production and operation of a counterweighted riprap truck requires certain basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, geometry, etc.

Ordinary craftsmen can indeed make a rough counterweight riprap truck if they have a prototype of a riprap truck, but they definitely don't know why they do this.

How could Feng Yong let such a thing wander outside intact?

As for the stone-making operation, it is more complicated.

Just writing parameters, soldiers who are literate, can do arithmetic, and can understand the terminology in the manual... can only come from the engineering battalion.

"This thing is an important weapon of the country!" Zhao Yun patted the trebuchet and looked at the soldiers, "The camp led by Feng Junhou is actually a powerful army of the Han Dynasty!"

When the soldiers heard the words of General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty, their faces almost glowed.
