Chapter 12 Ballista vs Artillery

snort!

Gao Yigong snorted coldly, and at the same time he spat out a mouthful of saliva, looking at the direction of the city wall with a ferocious face.

"Please the good stuff..."

After Gao Yigong finished speaking, the crowd quickly separated for several times.

Good good!

Is there such a thing that a thief?

Everyone on the city walls took a breath. It turned out that they had also brought a lot of artillery. Although artillery in this era was relatively backward, it was much stronger than those of the stone catapults.

When faced with these things, Zhu Cilang also frowned.

He had read some information before. The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was quite mature. Although its power was not satisfactory and its range was only a few hundred meters, it was still artillery.

Suddenly, Zhu Cixuan thought of another thing and looked at the Ming surrendered army under the city wall.

As expected, just like Zhu Cilang thought, these people were even more suspicious in their hearts at this moment.

You obviously have something like artillery, but you just don’t take it out. Just now, we just asked to use human lives to fill it out. Is this what we call "familiarity as brothers"?

“Can we have weapons to deal with?”

Zhu Cixuan looked at Hu Qiang. The weapons in the system must not be used, so he could only find them from this era.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, because the explosive power of gunpowder is too great, there are no artillery in the imperial city. They are all on the walls of the outer city. They should have been pulled down from the walls."

Hu Qiang also looked bitter. Although they were strong, they had no choice but to encounter this iron lump.

"Well, your highness, don't worry, I know that there is something that can hit them."

The situation was quite urgent. After Cao Renli finished speaking, he rushed to the arrow tower next to him. He didn't know what was inside. Didn't he say there were no artillery on the city wall?

Large crossbow arrow?

Zhu Cilang was a little disappointed when he saw Cao Renli dragging these things out.

Although the large crossbow has enough range, its power is not very good. If you face a siege car, these things are still OK.

A powerful impact can destroy the wooden racks of the siege car, but it doesn't have much force to face the cannons. After all, the cannons are made of iron.

"Eunuch Cao, don't cause trouble. This thing was the only thing that shot one or two soldiers to death in the past, and it would not have much effect."

Hu Qiang thought there was a way!

Cao Renli was not a member of the army. Hearing Hu Qiang say this, he looked a little disappointed.

Can someone who can shoot the other person to death?

Suddenly, Zhu Cixuan thought of something. Can’t he exchange it for a grenade? He can tie the grenade to it!

"Transfer things to me, I'm useful..."

Originally, Cao Renli was going to put this thing back. After all, this thing covers a large area and has not been used in the army of the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Who would use this thing if there is artillery? Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually asked him to move it here.

boom…

Damn, we are not ready yet, the artillery below is firing, of course there will be no one waiting for you on the battlefield.

The power of the cannon is much stronger than that of the catapult car. Several holes appeared in the city wall instantly, and many stones fell down.

The reason why the artillery was not pulled out just now was mainly because Li Zicheng's army did not create artillery shells.

The manufacturing bureau in Beijing is running away, so the shells are fired at one less. If they weren't doing anything, it would be nice for others to have a catapult.

"Be careful to hide, protect yourself, and retreat to a covered place."

Just like the strategy just now, Zhu Cixuan would not ask his brothers to risk their lives to defend here. Besides, staying here does not have much effect, and even if you shoot, you can't hit the other party.

Zhu Cixuan asked someone to find a rope and tied two grenades to the crossbow arrows.

The attack of the artillery became more and more fierce. Zhu Ciyang and the others could only speak half-lying on the ground, with scattered gravel everywhere, which would cut people's faces if they were not careful.

"You don't have to wait for my order later. As long as you see these two things smoking, you will fire immediately."

The buffering time of the grenade is only 7 seconds, and the opponent's artillery is 300 meters away. It is still hard to say whether it can fly to that place! So every second is very precious.

To be on the safe side, Zhu Cixuan found two instructors who exchanged them, but the others were really worried.

If these two grenades explode on the city wall, it would be equivalent to a foe.

The situation is already extremely urgent. More than a dozen shells hit the city wall, and some holes appeared everywhere. Fortunately, the imperial city uses the best materials, so it is impossible to use artillery to knock down the city wall in a short period of time, but if this continues, the city wall will not be able to hold it.

After the installation was completed, Zhu Cixuan immediately pulled the lead of the grenade, and now he didn't have the time to wait. More than a dozen soldiers were injured not far away.

With a whoosh!

A crossbow arrow rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

The strings of this thing are made of several pure beef tendons, so the kinetic energy is very powerful. Even with two grenades, the speed is not much reduced.

"Haha, there's really nothing left. I've taken out all this old thing...ah..."

Gao Yigong knew that this was a crossbow arrow and was about to laugh at him. Who knew that after this thing came out, it exploded in the sky.

The shrapnel were scattered everywhere, and many soldiers on the ground were injured and covered in blood. This was considered an air bomb in ancient society.

When did crossbow arrows have such ability?

This is indeed a crossbow arrow, but it was transformed by Zhu Cilang.

"Reduce the grenade to one, and immediately let those people lift the remaining crossbow out. The soldiers behind them who are fine asked them to tie the grenades, and they can tie as much as they can."

Zhu Cixuan was observing just now. The reason why he did not hit the enemy's artillery was because the two grenades were too heavy and could not fly over.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such ability to turn decay into magic at any time.

When I saw the traitor lifting out the cannon just now, I thought we couldn't handle it, but I didn't expect that I immediately gave them a whip.

The two grenades just now injured at least a dozen people. When the soldiers saw the prince, they felt full of energy.

As long as there is a backbone, the brothers below will not panic. Although the rebel artillery continued to bombard the city walls, everyone had seen hope just now, so no one was in chaos.

"Don't wait for my orders. As long as you are ready, fire at their artillery. Without the artillery, our city wall will be very stable."

Zhu Cixuan said while avoiding the explosion of gravel, that there is no way to attack collectively now.

Since he had received the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after the instructors adjusted their angles, several crossbow arrows flew out from the city wall.

Zhu Cixuan put his body on the wall and looked at the results of his modification. Sure enough, after reducing the grenades, the slow arrows could be shot into the local artillery positions smoothly.

Gao Yigong, who was so majestic just now, dared not show up like those artillery soldiers. The grenades are not powerful and cannot damage the artillery, but the artillery soldiers have lost a lot. Now not many people have fired their artillery.

Zhu Cixuan's mouth was slightly raised, it seemed that we still had the advantage!

"Damn it, let them carry these thunderbolts under the city wall. Whoever dares to come back will kill you..."
