Chapter 186 The dragons in Nancun bully me because I am old and helpless, the city wall is crying!
Half a month later.
Sunrise (5:00)
The night in late winter is still gloomy.
Pang Nuan was sitting in the city gate tower, standing behind the wall and looking outside the city. His posture was sneaky, and his voice was hoarse and dry and he ordered: "Order, Qingshe's troops rescue Chen Mao's troops!"< br>
"Order...hu~hu~"
The ordering soldiers were preparing to receive the order when they heard Pang Nuan's snoring.
Pang De endured his heartache, stepped forward and pushed Pang Nuan, and reminded in a low voice: "General, general!"
"The war has changed!"
The safe word triggered, Pang Nuan suddenly woke up.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, Pang Nuan felt his pupils dry and stinging.
After closing his eyes for a while, Pang Nuan opened his eyes again, quickly observed the battlefield, and asked in a low voice: "How long have I been sleeping for?"
Pang De said warmly: "No more than twenty. Just rest."
Pang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay."
Moving his stiff legs, Pang Nuan re-observed the battlefield and continued to order: "Order the North City Wall to deploy five thousand people. Archers reinforce the southern wall!”
"Order the east wall to prepare to beat wood and roll stones, release the enemy troops to attack the city and kill them!"
"Order..."
Pang Nuan is already old, and now the weather is cold.
Squatting under the city wall in a half-crouched posture was a huge physical pressure on Pang Nuan.
But there was no way. In order to observe the battlefield, Pang Nuan had to stand on the city wall to see the overall situation.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy whether he had slept or not, Pang Nuan could only hide behind the city wall in such an embarrassed posture.
After issuing the orders one by one, Pang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief: "The Qin army has rotated."
Wei Qi had no idea how Pang Nuan judged that the Qin army had rotated.
But Wei Qi would not question Pang Nuan at all.
Seeing that Pang Nuan had relaxed a little, he immediately brought warm water that was right in his mouth: "General, drink water."
After drinking all the water in the cup, Pang Nuan handed the water cup to Pang De: "One more cup!"
Wei Qi grabbed the water cup, filled another cup of water himself, and dropped it on the back of his hand. After testing the temperature, he handed it over to Pang Nuan.
Drinking another sip of water, Pang Nuan took a few deep breaths and continued to give the order: "Order, rotate the garrison on each city wall."
"Today it should be Ying Chenglong. Lead the troops. The attack will be quite fierce when this person leads the army into the battlefield."
"There is no need to go out of the city to involve this person, just stick to the city wall."
Then he took off his helmet and handed it to Pang De. Pang Nuan ordered: "Put your head out with my helmet on every once in a while, so that General Qin will not find that I am sleeping and make him climb the wall!"
< br>"I will sleep for a while first. After an hour, or if the enemy's tactics have changed, I will wake up."
Wei Qi nodded quickly: "General, please let go..."
As soon as he said these four words, Wei Qi saw Pang Nuan leaning against the city wall and falling into a deep sleep.
When he first entered the city, Pang Nuan was still a handsome old man.
But now Pang Nuan's face is full of exhaustion and haggard. The dark circles under his eyes are as big as those of a giant panda, and his eyes hidden under his eyelids are even more bloodshot.
The cheeks are already somewhat sunken, and the skin has a lot of wrinkles. The originally silver-white hair is now full of dirt and oil.
Half a month of continuous suffering, destruction and torture has made this handsome old man no longer handsome!
Wei Qi sighed softly, blaming himself: "If I hadn't been incompetent, how could General Pang be so tired?"
Wei Qi took off his cloak and wrapped it around Pang. Nuan, and ordered his soldiers to get a fox fur quilt and cover Pang Nuan gently.
Walking further away, Wei Qi gave an order in a deep voice: "Send orders to all the troops to cheer up this general."
"You all can see how much General Pang has paid for our Wei Dynasty. "
"I am incompetent, but my officers and men in the Wei Dynasty are all bloody!"
"I will personally lead you to guard the city wall."
"I will not. Seek merit, but seek no fault, and give General Pang some time to rest!”
All the Wei generals raised their hands in unison: "Wei!"
......
Pang Nuan did not dare to rely on Wei Qi, and Wei Qi did not dare to believe in himself.
Pang Nuan can only bear everything alone.
But Ying Chengyu had full trust in Meng Wu.
Meng Wu also trusted Ying Chengyu's ability to lead troops, but what worried Meng Wu the most was that Ying Chengyu chopped off his head at night.
Now Ying Chengyu and Meng Wu will basically not appear in the rear army at the same time. On the contrary, Meng Wu can rest better.
While Pang Nuan was racing against time to rest, Ying Chengyu, who had slept for five full hours, walked out of the camp full of energy.
After drinking a bowl of venison soup, eating half a catty of roasted rabbit meat, and eating a pot of polished rice, Ying Chengyu got on his horse and led his army forward.
"General Meng!" He bowed his hands to Meng Wu from a distance, and Ying Chengyu smiled and said: "There is General Lao Meng."
Meng Wu bowed his hands and returned the salute: "General, you are very polite."
"Now that the general has arrived, the battlefield will be handed over to the general."
Ying Chengcheng nodded and said: "This is natural."< br>
“However, I intend to try out new ordnance today.”
“General Meng, please go back and rest first. After you wake up, you can come to the battlefield to have a look.”
Meng Wu smiled and said: "The general said this, I am not in a hurry to take a rest."
"It's not too late to take a rest after reading."
Neither did Ying Chengyu. With much advice, he turned around and shouted: "The rear army will become the center army and form a formation to besiege the city!" "Send the order for the master craftsman Qi Ai and the great craftsman Cao Mao to build the trebuchet!"
"Send the order for the baggage. Camp, push the catapult to the front of the formation!”
After half a month of drills, the two soldiers were already very familiar with the rotation.
Ying Chengyu's troops quickly stepped forward to take the place of Mengwu's troops.
The soldiers who are still wandering are not in a hurry to return, but are waiting for new troops to join the battlefield and kill the enemy together.
Six catapults of different sizes and a large amount of wood and accessories have also arrived at the Chinese army's front line.
Ying Chengyu squatted on the ground, using snow as paper and a wooden stick as a pen, muttering words that no one could understand under the surprised eyes of Cao Mao, Meng Wu and others.
"It is known that the arm length of the resistance arm is eight times the length of the power arm. According to F1×L1=F2×L2..."
Every time the optimal position of a catapult is calculated, Cao Mao and others immediately Start assembling the accessories.
An hour later, the morning sun shone on the world, the Qin army changed their formations, and ten trebuchets stood outside Xiuyu City.
Meng Wu walked quickly to the newly built trebuchet. After looking up and down, he thought thoughtfully: "This machine is much more complicated than ordinary trebuchets. I don't think it is an ordinary thing."
Cao Mao said quietly: "It is indeed not a mortal thing, it is useless...ah!"
Qi Ai grabbed Cao Mao and said with a smile: "Cao Jiang wants to say that this is an extraordinary thing!"
Can't I hear the good words?
Ying Chengyu looked at Cao Mao speechlessly: "It's really a miracle that you can survive until now!"
Cao Mao said with a smile on his face: "I'm just telling the truth. It’s not illegal!”
“I can survive until now because of the protection of “Qin Law””
The "Qin Code" never stipulates that telling the ugly truth will result in death.
On the contrary, it is a grave sin to kill others because they speak unpleasantly!
The "Qin Code" also strictly stipulates the promotion and assessment of craftsmen. Even if Cao Mao speaks harshly, his superiors will not dare to target him too much.
So Cao Mao was a little proud when he spoke.
Proud that he is from Qin!
Ying Chengyu ignored Cao Mao, but shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to the command of the transport camp, fix the trebuchet, check the trebuchet, and press the tip!"
After the last round of inspections, the captain of the transport camp Wang Pan ordered: "Pull!"
Hundreds of horses were tied to ropes, pulling the ropes connected to the poles.
With the sound of wood creaking, the tip pole that was originally raised high was pressed down, and the wooden basket that originally hung from the bottom slowly rose.
When the tip pole was pulled to the lowest point, Ying Chengxiao ordered again: "Install rocks!"
In Meng Wu's surprised eyes, ten stones weighing the lightest 50 kilograms and the heaviest 200 kilograms were placed on the belt at the end of the tip pole.
Meng Wu couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "The general built this trebuchet just to throw such heavy stones onto the city wall?"
Cao Mao nodded and said: "That's it."
Meng Wu clicked his tongue and said: "How powerful will this stone be when it hits it!"
Cao Mao said quietly: "It only killed one person."
Meng Wu remained silent.
Although these words are harsh, there is nothing wrong with them.
But his general's face still needs to be taken care of. Meng Wu smiled and said: "Death means death, how you die is equally important."
"Death with a dented helmet and a broken skull is as important as death." Turning into minced meat and dying, which one can deter the enemy's morale more?"
Cao Mao suddenly said: "It turns out that the general is trying to destroy the enemy's morale, but I thought too little!"
"I have to apologize to the general!"
Meng Wu smiled and looked at the catapult: "Don't worry, let's see if this trebuchet can be used first!"
In Cao While all the craftsmen were watching anxiously, Ying Chengyu shouted again: "Throw!"
A sharp man holding a spear stood beside the catapult. Upon hearing the order, he aimed the spear at the copper pin.
The tip of the gun is firmly on the copper pin, and the grease-covered copper pin is pushed out of the bayonet with great force.
The tip pole that was originally fixed by the copper pin was no longer restrained, and the weight at the end suddenly dropped under the action of gravity, and fell faster and faster.
The front end of the tip rod is accelerated and lifted due to the lever principle, and the stones fixed in the belt are thrown along the parabola in the direction of Xiuyu City.
An hour has passed since Pang Nuan fell asleep.
Having just been awakened by Pound, he hit Hatcher and rubbed his eyes, when he saw a stone weighing 150 kilograms flying in his direction.
Pang Nuan:? ? ?
"Is it possible that I haven't woken up yet? Why is this stone so big?" He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. Pang Nuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he roared: "Run!"
Shout Suddenly, Pang Nuan ran away.
After just a few steps, Pang Nuan felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and there was a roaring sound in his ears.
"Boom!!!"
Pang Nuan looked back and saw a huge pit appeared where he had just been lying and sleeping, with a large number of gaps centered on the pit. Spreading around.
There was a lot of gravel scattered next to the pit, and more than a dozen slow-running soldiers were lying on the ground wailing.
Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, General Pang reminded us in time, otherwise we might all have died under this boulder!"
Pang Nuan's face turned pale. It was extremely ugly: "Fortunately?"
"You and I escaped, but the city wall couldn't escape!"
Wei Qi was stunned: "City wall?"
The city wall can't run, how can it escape!
But Wei Qi soon understood the meaning of Pang Nuan's words and looked at the dent made in panic.
"The flying stones thrown by the Qin army can destroy our city wall!"
Pang Nuan nodded and said in a difficult voice: "It's not just destruction!"
Turning to look at the huge trebuchet outside the city, Pang Nuan's voice became increasingly difficult: "Maybe we can destroy our city wall!"
