I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 The Catapult Feast
Chapter 115 The Catapult Feast
Facing tens of thousands of Han soldiers approaching the city, Jingjue Kingdom's military strength was simply unstoppable, and the person who brought about all these consequences was the so-called monarch appointed by Queen Jingjue.

"Dear Queen, the Han army will attack the city after a few days' rest. I wonder if we can use divine power?" Zhan Zhan Keke, the prime minister of the Jingjue Kingdom, said.

In front of this queen with supreme power, his prime minister is just a display.

"Divine power? If Meng Chen, the leader of the Han army, came alone, divine power might be useful."

Queen Jingjue expressed her thoughts, as for what divine power is, only she knows.

In front of tens of thousands of Han troops, the divine power he possessed was completely meaningless.

The means to confuse people's hearts can only be effective at a specific time and place!

"The walls of Jingjue City are tall, and it is not easy for the Han army to break through the city. As long as they can hold on for a period of time, Jingjue Kingdom will have hope of survival."

After saying this, Queen Jingjue got up and left slowly, leaving behind a group of Zhan Ke Ke Da Da who were at a loss.

But the queen has made up her mind and there is no room for maneuver.

"Hey, pass on the order to resist the Han army's siege with all your strength." The prime minister sighed helplessly.

Five days later, everything was ready for the Han army, Meng Chen rode a black horse, accompanied by Chang Yuchun and Gao Xianzhi, and slowly headed towards Jingjue City.

Gao Xianzhi's Anxi cavalry were on the two wings, protecting the [-] Han troops led by Meng Chen, pushing forward with large siege equipment.

"Wen Xiansheng thinks, how long will it take to break through the city?"

"If you return to the lord, the city will be broken within three days."

"Hahaha, Mister is too cautious, the city will definitely be destroyed before the sun rises tomorrow."

Mengcheng laughed and said, the reason why he has such confidence is entirely because of the siege equipment he carried this time.

Among other things, the improved catapult and the newly developed incendiary bomb will definitely surprise the defenders of Jingjue Kingdom.

At this moment, the sun is slowly disappearing from the horizon, and Meng Chen chose to attack the city after sunset, which is also a last resort.

"My lord, the trebuchet is ready."

Chang Yuchun's excited voice came, this time to conquer Jingjue Kingdom, Meng Chen ordered his generals, obviously to give Chang Shiwan a chance to show his strength.

"Let's get started, let Jingjueren know the general's anger!"

Following Meng Chen's order, the soldiers operating the catapult began to get busy.

The sound of slogans and the sound of the winch turning can be heard endlessly.

"Target city wall, test fire once, let it go!"

There was a roar, and the catapult not far from Mengchen started instantly, and a huge stone bomb roared and hit the city wall of Jingjue City directly in front.

Such a scene, the elite soldiers on the city wall have never seen it before. They watched a huge black object flying towards them, and everyone paid attention to them.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the stone bomb just now roared over the city wall and smashed hard on a house.

Fortunately, the people in the city were all gathered in the palace, otherwise this blow would definitely bring casualties.

Even so, the effect of the huge stone bomb destroying the house made the elite soldiers on the top of the city swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"The stone bullet flew over the city wall, and the scale dropped by three." Another general order came, and the well-trained soldiers quickly adjusted the scale, waiting for the second method to be filled.

"Second test shot, target the city wall, let it go!"

Following the second launch, Meng Chen clearly saw the stone bullet hit the city wall.

The gravel rose instantly, and many elite soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

"Confirm the ruler, plus and minus one for each machine, target the city wall, launch freely!"

After getting the accurate data, the twenty trebuchets lined up made whistling sounds one after another.

Countless stone bullets cut through the resistance of the air and happily hit the target.

"My lord is really a man of God." Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Ru said with emotion.

"Haha, Wen Xian gave birth to praise, this is a masterpiece of a craftsman."

Meng Chen laughed, he liked to hear this kind of flattery, but at the same time, he gave the credit to those craftsmen led by Ma Jun.

Without these people, facing the strong city defense in front of him, Meng Chen could only choose to fill it with human life.

Li Ru nodded. Craftsmen are playing an increasingly important role in Xiliang, especially Ma Jun, the leader of craftsmen.

Every time a stone bullet is concentrated on the city wall, the entire city wall will tremble once, and some of the stone bullets will accurately fall on the top of the city wall.

Although the number is small, the lethality it brings is huge.

Not to mention the soldiers of the Jingjue Kingdom, even the generals of the Jingjue Kingdom have nothing to do at this moment, they can only watch blankly as the huge stones thrown by the Han army ravage the city wall one by one.

As time went by, the attack intensity of the Han army decreased slightly for a while.

But with the fireballs rising one after another in the night, Jingjue's nightmare has just begun.

At this moment, Mengchen adjusted his tactics, and a small number of trebuchets began to attack the city indiscriminately. The main purpose was to ignite the buildings in the city and create panic.

The remaining trebuchets continued to bombard the city wall, trying to completely destroy a certain city wall!

Two hours later, Jingjue City was engulfed in flames, even the top of the city.

"My lord, according to the craftsmen's calculations, the city wall will not be destroyed for a while." A school lieutenant hurriedly came to Meng Chen and reported.

Of course, all of this was within Meng Chen's expectations. If there were gunpowder, the army would have already entered the city.

"Chang Yuchun, lead the soldiers to attack the city!"

"promise!"

After watching the siege for two hours, Chang Yuchun finally got his chance to make a move.

He led the order and began to order the soldiers to line up in an orderly manner.

In this expedition to Jingjue Country, apart from trebuchets, Meng Chen also brought fifteen siege ladders and two chariots.

With the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Han army lined up for battle, pushed the ladder and began to lean towards the city, while the rushing chariot was one step behind.

The throwing of the trebuchet still didn't stop. This move was regarded as buying time for the slow-moving ladder. When it was a hundred steps away from the city wall, the trebuchet that had been whistling all day finally calmed down.

"Hey Yo! Hey Yo!"

The soldiers of the Han army uttered neat slogans, and the ladders accurately leaned against the city wall without any interference.

"My lord, this method is good, but if you encounter a city wall with a moat..." Li Ru's voice sounded, but he only spoke half of the sentence.

"Wen Xiansheng's income is correct. If there is a moat, we should use other methods. But Chen still has no idea. If you know, sir, I hope you can enlighten me."

"My lord speaks seriously. After this battle, I will wait for this old man to think about it carefully."

While the two were talking, a cloud ladder had been unfolded, and the soldiers of the Han army skillfully began to climb towards the top of the city.

The chariots at the city gate were also ready. Once the gate opened, Gao Xianzhi's cavalry would swarm in.

"General Gao, be careful when entering the city, and beware of fraud!"

Li Ru reminded Gao Xianzhi that the two of them had known each other for so long.

"Don't enter the palace easily, wait for Ben to arrive."

"promise!"
