Chapter 1080 Yuanyou's trebuchet can point to where to hit
Chapter 1080
"What the hell are those Song Cong doing? What kind of siege equipment they assembled? They transported so many trucks of wood..." On the top of the city, many Liao soldiers were looking around curiously.
At the city, Master Zhong was also silently calculating the time. It would take about half an hour. There was no way. Although the Yuanyou stone thrower was powerful, there was a big problem that the assembly and disassembly were very slow.
After the carriages arrived all the components of the eight Yuanyou stone throwers, they walked on the return journey without stopping. Of course, they did not squat back on the boat, but needed to transport ammunition.
After all, although the Yuanyou stone thrower can also use various stones, they still have to look for those things. This time, they brought two hundred giant cement bombs.
Since I found that stone bullets that were directly solidified with cement did not need to be cut or excavated to make them, using cement to make stone bullets has become a conventional ammunition production method.
If it is not for the attack on Xiazhou, it requires sudden or persistent combat, in addition to transporting a small number of stone bombs, more can be directly made on site.
After all, it only takes two days at most, and cement-poured stone bombs can be loaded and fired directly. Moreover, after testing, the cement stone bombs today are not the kind of complete solid live bullets.
Instead, when pouring, a few steel pipes or iron rods are stuffed into the middle, and when it is half-condensed, the sticks are then pulled away. In this way, the cement stone bombs can facilitate the rapid drying of the internal and external structures to be used in war.
Finally, half an hour later, the eight-stitched poles stood tall, piercing the sky like super long softness. This made the Liao soldiers who had never seen the true appearance of Yuanyou stone throwing machine all looked puzzled, and still didn't understand what the hell was.
"Is it a new type of crossbow? Look at the long rod-shaped object. I think this kind of crossbow must have a long range." A smart soldier guessed this.
"No, this thing doesn't look thick, and you see, there is a soft cotton thing hanging on the head of the pole, and it doesn't look like a crossbow arrow." The other man touched his chin and rejected his companion's guess.
"Shut up and be careful, that thing seems to be moving, everyone." At this time, an intermediate officer who was observing the siege machinery suddenly shouted loudly.
The Liao army and young and strong men above the city also noticed this abnormality. The long pole that originally stood tall in the sky is now getting lower and lower, slowly lowering its height.
It was just that it was too far away and it was not clear. I could only see Song Jun constantly coming and going in front of the eight machines, but I didn't know how they made the long poles fall slowly.
Of course, Zhong Shidao could see clearly that it was bags of cement, each bag of cement weighed fifty kilograms, and at least hundreds of bags of cement were added to the balance hammer in front of each Yuanyou stone thrower.
Only tens of thousands of pounds can the Yuanyou stone thrower lift a slight rock that weighs 150 pounds or even 200 pounds and throws a hundred feet away.
When the carriages returned again, and after the carriage's tent was lifted, the huge blue-gray stone bullets that were exposed showed their true appearance.
Yelu Yongping on the top of the city and countless Liao soldiers who had seen the power of Yuanyou stone throwing machine instantly stared to the extreme.
"Then, that's... those are actually the kind of stone throwing machines in Youzhou City, the Yuanyou stone throwing machines in the mouth of Song people?!" At this moment, Yelu Yongping's face instantly turned pale, staring at his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
Soon, Yelu Yongping, who had woken up to God, knew that he would never show any timidity now, and he would still start to vigorously instill courage in the soldiers.
"Don't be afraid, that thing is just a machine that deals with wood. It's just a weapon used to defend the city. It's a joke that the teacher actually brought this weapon to defend the city here."
"Yuanyou stone throwing machine..." However, there are still some veterans who have seen the power of such long-range weapons fighting with fear. He has seen his brave comrades wearing heavy iron armor when charging, and when he was hit by this stone bullet that bounced up from the ground. His whole person, along with his armor, was directly smashed into pieces.
No matter whether this thing is defending the city or siege, it is not something that humans can resist. What we can do now is to seek God not be hit by such a terrible weapon.
When all preparations were ready, everyone's eyes focused on Master Zhong.
Mr. Zhong rode his horse forward for more than ten feet and began to shout loudly. "I am the defense envoy of the Song Dynasty Yin, Shi and Long. Now, I would like to remind you to open the door and surrender quickly and offer Xiazhou. Mr. Zhong will give you a stick of incense. If you don't surrender after a stick of incense..."
As soon as this said, the guards around them whispered three times in a uniform manner.
Then, I saw a Song Qi put on an incense burner on the ground, and in the incense burner was a ignited incense. The clear smoke slowly passed by with the wind.
Yelu Yongping, standing on the city wall, had a blue face, took a deep breath, and shouted sternly.
"General Zhong, you have invaded my Liao territory for no reason and did not retreat quickly. My Xiazhou is as solid as a rock, so you should not be afraid of you. To the west, there is a 100,000 troops led by the general manager of the East Daliao River Road, and to the east, there are 80,000 elite troops from my Amitabha Cave.
If you hear that there are police in Xiazhou, you can come in the morning and night. I will advise you to retreat early and not provoke a dispute between the two sides, otherwise you will definitely teach you that you will not be buried in death.”
"This kid, there's so much nonsense. By the way, General Wang, can you just destroy this guy?" Listening to Yelu Yongping's chattering nonsense above the city, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but recruit the general who was responsible for the eight Yuanyou stone throwing machines. He lowered his voice and asked quietly.
"This is probably a bit difficult, but if his position is fixed and our eight stone throwers perform a covered shooting together, they will be at least 50% sure that they can smash this guy into meat paste." General Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yelu Yongping, who was dancing and shouting on the top of the city, and replied in a low voice.
"I can only be 50% sure?" Zhong Shidao's face couldn't help but glared at the guy with a bit of anger. "Didn't it mean that the Yuanyou stone thrower can point and hit wherever he points?"
"General, it depends on what the target is. If you refer to that city wall, you will surely be able to hit every Yuanyou stone thrower."
