Chapter 207 Siege Weapon
After all, Hou Junji is a person who likes to be flashy by nature. With this opportunity to show off, even in front of two subordinates, he also has an urge to show off, so Hou Junji demonstrated it for Wang Dong and Xu Changfu as he spoke. He remembered how to use these ordnance he had just learned from those military craftsmen.

In fact, in ancient times, siege warfare and field warfare were two completely different things. In field warfare, cavalry and infantry were needed to cooperate with each other. To a large extent, manpower was used, while siege warfare relied more on siege warfare. mechanical.

After all, facing a solid city, only the bandits and other troops who have no siege equipment at all will come up with such a crazy method of attacking the city with ants.

The ancient city walls were originally used to prevent infantry assaults, so the real siege battle was actually more like a magic weapon between the two sides in the list of gods.The defender must always think about how to make their city stronger and defend the various methods of the attacker, while the attacker will use various methods and tactics to try to break the thin city wall.The manpower methods are naturally flooding, digging tunnels or even setting fire to them, etc. Besides these methods that require a lot of luck, the most important methods are all kinds of siege equipment.

Although Wang Dong seems to have some attribute points that can be involved in this aspect, he has never really been in contact with ancient siege warfare, and he has to listen to Hou Junji's introduction on how to fight.

As Hou Junji spoke, he happily demonstrated for the two of them. He picked up a model of a trebuchet, which was very delicately made. There was a rope underneath that could be pulled. When Hou Junji pulled the rope, the catapult was thrown The rod started to move, and Wang Dong probably could understand it. This is a human trebuchet using the principle of leverage.

According to Hou Junji's demonstration, their ideal way to attack the city is first to use trebuchets and other things to try their best to suppress the defenders on the high wall from a distance, and at the same time send some soldiers to take out a heavy-duty weapon to attack the city. The wooden sign and the fur-covered car, the soldiers hid under the car and pushed the car all the way under the city wall.Then the soldiers in the car took out all kinds of wooden structures in the car, quickly built tall buildings under the city wall, and then everyone climbed up from the tall buildings, climbed over the city wall, and fought on the city wall and the defenders on the wall. The soldiers organized a commando team ready to swarm in from the city gate when their army controlled the city wall.

Wang Dong found that according to Hou Junji's demonstration, the Tang people obviously valued the attack on Gaochang Kingdom this time, but in fact, Wang Dong knew in his heart that it would not take so many things to attack Gaochang Kingdom, because it only took three days for the Tang army to attack Gaochang. The sky will destroy Gaochang.

This is not to blame for Gao Chang, Qu Wentai is just talking about the monarch, he always thought that he would have no problem cursing with Datang, who would have thought that Datang would suddenly send troops to fight?Historically, because the Tang Dynasty sent troops, and the Western Turks didn’t want to help him at all, Qu Wentai was frightened to death, and then Hou Junji still marched slowly according to the rules, step by step, making various attacks while walking. City equipment, thinking that Gaochang Kingdom is a big country in the Western Regions, claiming to have more than 21 soldiers and horses in 2 counties, and it is also a force that cannot be underestimated in the Central Plains.Of course, the result was that the Gaochang people’s resistance was so weak that the Tang army couldn’t believe it. They surrendered county by county. Even if they marched slowly, within three days, the Tang people had already hit the capital of Gaochang state. Hou Junji finally felt that he should fight a tough battle to siege the city, so he dispatched catapults and various engineering equipment to greet the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, the catapults fought for a while, Qu Wentai's son Qu Zhisheng was so frightened that he opened the door and surrendered.

In the end, as soon as Qu Zhisheng's father's body was buried, he was granted the title of General Zuowuwei of the Tang Dynasty and Duke of Jincheng County, so he stopped being treated by Gaochang. It became the Xizhou of the Tang Dynasty, and later set up the famous Anxi Protectorate here.

Of course, at this time Wang Dong would not tell Hou Junji that Gaochang Kingdom was not worthy of attention. After all, without the detailed preparations of the Tang Army, the final outcome of the war might not be so simple.

At this time, after watching Hou Junji happily demonstrate all kinds of siege equipment like a child showing off his new toys, he happily said to Xu Changfu and Wang Dong: "Have you ever seen such a siege weapon? Haha, I It should be said that there is no more powerful engineering equipment than these things in the world."

Obviously, he is quite satisfied with these fresh engineering equipment.

After watching Hou Junji's demonstration, Xu Changfu nodded repeatedly. On the one hand, he was indeed surprised by the hidden equipment in Hou Junji's hands, and on the other hand, he naturally wanted to flatter Shangguan, so he said hastily. "These instruments are so exquisite that I have never seen them before. I think they are the strongest and most exquisite siege weapons in the world."

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help laughing.

Wang Dong knew in his heart that most of these siege equipment could still be improved, but he didn't need to save Hou Junji's face, so he quickly blew rainbow farts with Xu Changfu's tone.

"Hahahaha, the siege equipment displayed by Hou Shangshu is really good, really..."

Xu Changfu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes."

Hou Junji stroked his long beard happily.

[Ding dong, system task]

Wang Dong saw a system prompt flashing in front of his eyes.

[Mission Option [-]: "The siege equipment displayed by Hou Shangshu is indeed exquisite and ingenious, and people can't think of anything that can be improved"—Option Reward: Shaolin Dharma Sword Advanced Skill Book (Level [-])]

[Task option [-]: Point out the areas that can be improved in the siege equipment displayed by Hou Junji - option reward: add one random basic attribute point]

It's actually a level three mission...

"Hahahaha, the siege equipment displayed by Hou Shangshu is really good, but it really has a lot of flaws. "

"Hey, that's right." Xu Changfu nodded habitually.

The next moment, he couldn't help being taken aback, looking at Wang Dong, his face turned pale instantly, why don't you play cards according to the routine?

"What did you say?"

Originally, Hou Junji was waiting for the two to praise him. After all, he just showed off a new toy, hoping to get a lot of praise. He didn't expect Wang Dong to say that his things were defective, which instantly made his face feel like Some can't hold on anymore.

This kid is a bit clueless.

He thought to himself that if this guy didn't tell him something, he would be angry.

At the same time, Xu Changfu's cold sweat had already broken down, didn't he agree to blow rainbow farts together?Why did you suddenly become serious, kid?
