"Command the attacking troops to retreat, and don’t want to come up with a way to crack the butch army’s defense. You must not die in vain." Dourgen’s face was dignified and ordered.
Facing the advantage of Tiger and Leopard Army, the attack of Tatar troops comes and goes quickly.
At present, Dourgen, who has lost more than half of the attacking troops, finally could not suppress his anger and roared, "We must find a way to suppress the butch and leopard arms, or the warriors will suffer heavy losses. Don’t forget that the butch and leopard army dug six identical lines of defense around the mushroom valley."
Before making direct contact with the defenders of the first line of defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the attacking troops lost more than 400 people. After the attacking troops really broke into the first line of defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army, hundreds of soldiers were not going to lose everything.
One line of defense lost 100 people, and six lines of defense added up to nearly 5 thousand troops
That is to say, thousands of elites will be lost as soon as the troops attack the foot of the mushroom valley wall.
At the thought of this result, all the senior Tatar officers could not help but gasp.
At the same time, I will focus on the commander-in-chief Dourgen and hope that Duoer can come up with a solution for everyone.
Don’t let everyone down. After a short meditation, Dourgen Shen analyzed, "I need a shield weapon that can attack butch and leopard in 150 steps …"
"Artillery … we can also artillery …" A Tatar officer answered consciously.
Before Dourgen came to speak, an objection sounded behind him.
"No … butch army has qualified artillery in our hands, but we don’t, and we also put all the captured artillery in Zunhua City, even if it’s not shipped for three or four days now …"
Because of this, the Ministry argued with each other when Dourgen’s vision suddenly appeared in the mountains around Mushroom Valley.
Especially in the mountains, the slender trunks up to tens of meters are like a key that suddenly unlocks the troubles in Dourgen’s mind, which makes Dourgen’s eyes shine.
"With …" Dourgen consciousness cried.
"Stop arguing. I have an idea … to make weapons and suppress arms directly from local materials."
Chapter 13 Change
"Making weapons from local materials …" Hearing these words, everyone except Dourgen was stunned and puzzled.
In the face of everyone’s suspicious eyes, Dourgen confidently affirmed that "you didn’t hear wrong, that is, you made weapons from local materials and suppressed the tiger and leopard arms and weapons forces 150 steps away."
"What weapon is Baylor so powerful …" A lieutenant asked with a full face of expectation.
Dourgen directly replied without hesitation, "The trebuchet is simply made of logs."
"Although the range and power of the trebuchet can’t compare with that of the army artillery, the stone shells 150 paces away destroy the shield array of the tiger and leopard army, harass the tiger and leopard munitions forces and help the archers shoot the tiger and leopard army … these things can still be done by the trebuchet."
"In addition, we hand infantry can’t build artillery and infantry, but it’s no problem to build some simple trebuchets from logs …"
After a full day, the Tatars didn’t attack before blocking the position, not even a tentative attack
When Wei Zheng’s mind slowly got an ominous premonition, he exclaimed and suddenly the head of Mushroom Valley sounded.
When the Dalai Lama arrived, he couldn’t understand the consciousness of Wei Zheng. He raised his monocle and looked at thousands of Tatar cavalry formations two miles away.
The long and thin logs of the Wei Zheng telescope, which lasted for three battles, were continuously sent into the Tatar army with their shoulders and hands on their shoulders.
What happened later, even with the help of a telescope, could not be seen.
"What do the Tatars want to do? Cut so many logs at one time … Do they want to make stronger shield cars and shields?" Wei Zheng consciousness said.
Wei Zheng didn’t react, but Kelly Y Zhou’s face produced a different color
Speaking of understanding the way of cold weapons warfare in this era, Kelly Y Zhou definitely goes far beyond Wei Zheng
After a brief analysis, Kelly Y Zhou boldly speculated that "the general Tatar must not be so thick and long as a shield … not surprisingly, they want to make a simple trebuchet to break our shield array, attack and harass our firearms troops, cover the archers and throw arrows at us …"
"The trebuchet … the principle of leverage throws stone bullets at us …" Wei Zheng said something unnatural to Kelly Y Zhou and others in his heart, and they couldn’t understand.
Don’t understand it doesn’t affect Kelly Y Zhou’s judgment on the situation. Wei Zheng just said that Kelly Y Zhou woke up with a dignified face. "General, if the Tatar is really preparing for the trebuchet, it will become more and more difficult to fight our next battle, and the loss will become bigger and bigger …"
Weizheng eyebrows a twist to Kelly Y Zhou asked "is there a specific solution …"
Kelly Y Zhou first nodded, then shook his head, and finally said, "The best way to crack it is that the artillery will be destroyed, but our artillery quantity is limited and they are all small artillery with short range. Even if we bombard the Tartar trebuchet position, we will not achieve much success."
Without really seeing the power of the trebuchet, we can find its weakness.
Holding the idea of knowing yourself and knowing yourself, he decisively ordered, "In this case, we will think about the specific solution after the Tartars have built the trebuchet …"
After a night of hard work by thousands of infantry, 50 mangonels with very simple shapes appeared, and each mangonel was operated by two Tatars and 30 infantry, scattering ten kilograms of heavy stone bullets at the positions of Tiger and Leopard Army.
Seeing that the position is 150 paces away, the Dalai Lama stands 50 feet high and throws the pole to defend the Wei Zheng. The bad feeling in his heart becomes stronger with it.
With a little bit of worry, he ordered, "With a trebuchet, the attack will be very fierce today, reducing unnecessary casualties outside the city, and the troops will retreat after 40 steps. The last requirement is that the soldiers must be prepared to defend against stone bullets during the battle."
"Is the general …"
The morale of the Tatar Army was high, and Dourgen had a meeting just like enjoying art. He scanned his eyes and made 50 trebuchets overnight.
At this moment, a man who had visited the trebuchet department said with a full face of surprise, "Baylor’s so many trebuchets will definitely smash the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army … I plead to lead the warriors to attack the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army."
Dourgen shook his head and unexpectedly refused, "No, let’s not attack first …"
"We were passively beaten for so long in yesterday’s attack, and today it’s the turn of the tiger and leopard army across the street to have a taste of passive beating."
"It’s not too late to order the trebuchet troops to throw a stone bomb at the position of Tiger and Leopard Army for half an hour first, and then look at the effect of the trebuchet mechanical warfare and then attack the position of Tiger and Leopard Army."
"It’s Baylor’s slave who’s going to reach the order …"
"Boo-hoo ….." A long boom of the trebuchet sounded behind a whizzing wind and swung quickly.
The cloth pocket stone bullet located at the tail of the arm bar draws a beautiful arc with the arm bar.
When the long boom suddenly stopped swinging, the boom was flying at a high speed, and the inertia of the stone bullet quickly broke away from the cloth bag and flew to the sky …
Fifty stone bullets flew out of the trebuchet position and flew to the Tiger and Leopard Army position with all the Tatar expectations.
Because Tartars didn’t test fire, two of the fifty stone bullets hit, but Dourgen’s face showed a little excitement instead of disappointment.
Because want to have a stone bullet hit the target, you can prove yourself. The idea of suppressing the tiger and leopard arms with a trebuchet can be realized. After some excitement, he shouted with a full face.
"Well … so to launch a stone bullet to butch army positions will butch army positions smashed …"
Ordinary Tatar soldiers also seem to have found a way to vent their anger, screaming and pulling the arm to throw a ten-catty stone bullet at the position of Tiger and Leopard Army.
As time went by, the Tatar infantry became more and more adept at manipulating the trebuchet, and accordingly, their aim of shooting stone bullets became higher and higher.
Soon after hiding behind the earth wall, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army began to suffer casualties.
A stone bullet roared to the earth wall and broke it open behind the earth wall. The soldiers of Tiger and Leopard Army haven’t come to react yet. The stone bullet roared and hit a gap on the edge of the earth wall, and then the speed continued to hit the soldiers of Tiger and Leopard Army behind the earth wall.
Chapter 14 A tooth for a tooth
"Boom …" A huge impact sounded on the battlefield, and the musketeers’ thighs were directly smashed into a pile of meat sauce and exposed dense bones.
With the soldiers screaming, the battlefield sounded, and the tiger and leopard army gradually began to suffer casualties.
At this moment, Wei Zheng is a dignified wall and witnessed a beautiful arc in several stone bullets, and then it rained down on the tiger and leopard army positions and the positions set off pieces of smoke and dust.
Seeing that his department began to suffer casualties, Wang Feng first shouted at Weizheng according to his worries in his heart …
"General Tartars fired a stone bullet, which was too powerful for the shield to get up … what should we do …"
"What to do … at present, it seems that there is a way to do it … it must be an unprecedented blow to the morale of the soldiers to retreat now …" Wei Zheng shook his head and answered with a face of nai.
When I heard this, not only Wang Fengwei but also Kelly Y Zhou on the other side became silent.
Frowning and thinking about possible solutions
"The general doesn’t have enough artillery to suppress the other side’s trebuchet. There is only one way to choose …" After a short silence, Kelly Y Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and answered in a tone full of nai.
At this moment, Wang Feng suddenly complained in an absent-minded way, "If we can throw the explosive bag that was late that day into the position of the Tartars’ trebuchet, we can definitely blow up the Tartars’ hard-made trebuchet …"
