General Qin

"Hei Hip, do you see that, that is Yang Xia who you want to raid at night."

On the chariot, Zhao Tuo called the black butt to the side, pointed at the city hundreds of steps away, and smiled at him, "How, do you still have the intention to make a surprise attack?"

Heibutt glanced at the surging human heads on the Yangxia City Wall, and set up the crossbows every few steps, as well as those tall axes, long vertebrae, and all kinds of strange looking weapons for defending the city.

Of course, the deep moat under the city wall, and the claws and sword blades that exposed the thatch cover and reflected the sunlight, also shook the black buttocks and hurt the eyes.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Why is the Chu army in Yangxia City like this? I, my black buttocks, have attacked the city so many times with you, General, but I have never seen such a battle. They have so many weapons. , How can people attack the city, it is simply too unethical."

Seeing that this guy actually blamed the Chu army in the city, Zhao Tuo couldn't help laughing angrily, "According to what you said, it's better to let the Chu people in the city open the door and surrender to you."

Heibutt smiled and said: "That's the best, General, this city is so difficult to attack, we might as well send a lobbyist in, maybe we can defeat others without fighting. Is it more important to attack the heart? It's a pity that the long tongue surnamed Li is not here, otherwise, let him enter the city, and he will definitely take down Yang Xia without a single soldier."

Zhao Tuo glanced at Hei Hip. This guy is really useful in learning the art of war, and he can say a few words casually when he speaks occasionally. He has the appearance of a senior military officer. But what he said about sending lobbyists into the city is probably useless in Yang Xia.

"These defensive arrangements are probably the means of the Mohists. Go and call me the Mohists in the army."

Qin Mo Zhao Ji, who used to follow his master Lu Jun when he was conquering Yan, served in the army, personally participated in the research and manufacture of cannons, and now he is with Zhao Tuo, the Qin army.

He was called over to take a look, and said: "This is the method of my Mo family, it is the method of defending the city recorded in the "Mo Jing", there must be Mo people in the city to help, could it be the Mo of the Deng Ling family who was hard-earned in the past? If it is true that there are Mohists helping the Chu army in the city to defend the city, it may be quite difficult to break the city this time."

Seeing Zhao Ji frowned.

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "The Mo family's technique of defending the city is really extraordinary, but if we attack the city with the giant artillery made by our army, can it be defended?"

Zhao Ji was stunned. Just now, he fell into the stereotype that the Mohist's defensive technique was difficult to break through. Now that Zhao Tuo mentioned it, he remembered that Qin Jun had already mastered the powerful cannon technique.

"What the general said is that the walls of Yangxia City are small and thin. Although the techniques of the Mohists can resist ants attacking the city, they are powerless against giant cannons..."

When Zhao Ji said this, he had a complicated expression on his face.

Although there are enemies in Yangxia City, they are defending the city with his Mohist techniques.

But now, Qin Mo, a group of them, wanted to attack the city with the giant cannon left behind by Gongshuzi.

How ridiculous.

...

At the head of Yangxia city, Deng Lingzi looked solemn when he saw that the dark Qin army had already set up camp outside the city, and at the same time sent a large number of soldiers and civilians to cut down trees nearby.

Beside him, disciple Bai Fai frowned and said, "Master, it's still early, do you think those Qin troops will come to attack the city?"

Bai Fai was young, and was quite obsessed with the various methods of defending the city in the "Mo Jing". He thought that if he defended with this method, no one in the world would be able to attack him, so he was very much looking forward to the Qin army's attacking the city. Show off his Mohist city defense skills.

Unexpectedly, these Qin people seemed to be many, but they only cared about camping and setting up camps, and they didn't appear to be attacking the city at all, which made him feel quite regretful.

Deng Lingzi shook his head, and whispered: "They are building siege equipment, and they want to wait until the equipment is built before attacking the city."

The corner of Bai Po's mouth curled up into a smile, and he said with anticipation: "When the time comes, let these Qin people know how powerful my Mo family's method of defending the city is."

Deng Lingzi glanced at him, and said: "This battle is difficult, don't take it lightly, you go to inspect the city wall again to see if there are any mistakes."

"only."

Looking at the Qin army outside the city who had no intention of attacking the city, Deng Lingzi's expression became more serious.

With the help of several Mohists, Yangxia City was built like an iron barrel, but the Qin army outside the city did not attack the city for a long time.

until the morning of the third day.

Wu Guang and Gua went up to the top of the city to defend the city with the Chu army.

Standing on the city wall, they could see at a glance that the situation outside the city today was very different from the previous two days. The Qin army that had been huddled in the camp began to come out one after another at this moment, forming an array in the open space outside the city.

"The Qin army is going to attack the city?"

Gua swallowed, his legs trembling.

Another civilian man named Dong next to him, seeing his appearance, grinned and said: "Don't be afraid, now there is Mohist helping us to defend the city, so why not be afraid, haven't you seen these crossbows and various utensils?" ?”

As he said that, Dong pointed to a strange big crossbow not far away and said, "Did you see it? I heard that it is the secret weapon of the Mo family. It can shoot sixty big arrows. Those Qin troops who dare to attack the city, be sure to Let them come and go."

After Dong's words, the Chu people's husbands and Chu soldiers who were still nervous around them calmed down a lot.

"Yes, if Qin Jun dares to come, let's see Nai Gong shoot them into a bunch."

A Chu pawn in charge of the crossbow machine screamed, causing a burst of laughter.

The dense defense equipment and iron bucket-like defensive measures gave them the confidence to defend the city.

Only Wu Guang ignored it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at about two hundred steps away from the wall. Qin Jun was carrying various giant logs and assembling something there.

Two hours later, at noon, the sun was scorching.

Guard General Feng Houyi of Yangxia, Deng Lingzi, Bai Yu and other Mohists stood on the city wall, looking at two hundred paces outside the city, the Qin army had assembled more than a dozen machines similar to catapults.

The soldiers of the Qin army were working together to move huge boulders and place them on the giant stone machine.

"Cannon."

Feng Houyi swallowed his saliva. Before seeing Qin Jun's giant cannon, he still had confidence in the method of defending the city of these southern Mohists. He thought that with the help of Mohism's defense technique, it would be no problem to defend for three or four days. .

Now when seeing those huge stone bombs, Feng Houyi has lost all confidence in his heart.

"No problem, don't be afraid. Even if the Qin army's cannon can fire a hundred catties of boulders, it's difficult to aim this kind of equipment, and it consumes a lot of manpower. I'm afraid they may fire dozens of stone bullets, and it may not hit one of them. Come over the walls."

Bai Po said loudly, encouraging everyone.

He is very confident in the Mohist's defensive skills, and feels that as long as the Qin army's giant cannons are not accurate enough, they will continue to use ants to attack the city after wasting their efforts.

After all, even the catapult machine made by their inkmen hits the target randomly, making it difficult to aim.

In response to Bai Fei's encouragement, there were several loud sounds of piercing through the air, and stone bullets weighing hundreds of catties flew from two hundred steps away, pierced the sky, crossed the head of Yangxia City, and smashed into the city heavily, sending out a huge explosion. The rumbling sound, and the smoke and dust all over the sky.

On the city wall, no matter whether it was the soldiers of Chu who guarded the city, the civilian husbands who were conscripted, or the Mohists, they were all stunned.

The 100-jin boulder really rose into the sky.

Bai Po's teeth chattered, and he shouted again: "Second and third sons, don't be afraid. I'm right. Although the Qin army's cannons are powerful, they can't aim at the city wall. There are probably only one in a hundred who can hit it."

Although the Mohist Bai Fai encouraged them, everyone on the city wall still looked ashen, and everyone was thinking about what would happen to them if they were hit by the boulder.

"They are debugging, and I am afraid they will hit the city wall next time."

Deng Lingzi, who had been silent all this time, spoke, his eyes fixed on the giant cannon of the Qin Army two hundred paces away. With his old-fashioned gaze, it could be seen that Qin Jun was moving and adjusting.

Silence like death, seeing what the master said, even Bai Piao lost confidence.

He tremblingly said: "Master, you mean that Qin Jun's giant cannon can also adjust the range and direction?"

Deng Lingzi nodded silently, bringing a depressive atmosphere to the city.

"I don't believe it, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible."

Bai Po gritted his teeth, unwilling to believe it.

Soon, the Qin army's cannons were adjusted, and more than a dozen huge boulders of one hundred catties flew into the sky together, making a terrible and piercing sound of piercing the air.

This time, three or four boulders struck Yangxia's city wall directly as if they had eyes.

There was a loud roar, and the earth trembled.

In the past few days, I have exhausted the painstaking efforts of the Mohist. The city wall covered with long axes, crossbows and other various defensive equipment has not been used yet. It was turned into pieces under the bombardment of the huge stone, and a turret was smashed on the spot. In the middle, it collapsed and shattered instantly.

More than a dozen unlucky guards turned into corpses on the spot, and many people were also affected and seriously injured.

A salvo of giant cannons was so terrifying!

"Run!"

Someone shouted, turned around and ran down the city.

Wu Guang swallowed. Although he was not standing in the section of the city hit by the boulder, he was still quite frightened by the huge impact, especially when he saw with his own eyes that Dong, who had just opened his mouth to comfort them, was hit by a piece of flying gravel. After shooting through the head, he became a dead body on the ground in a blink of an eye.

Wu Guang followed suit and ran down the city wall.

Faced with such a scene, no matter whether it was the guards of the Chu army or the civilian husbands who were forcibly conscripted on the city wall, they all screamed and ran away. It's gone.

Facing the bombardment of boulders from 200 paces away, the so-called city defense technique of the Mohist school can't play any role. The huge city wall is just a passive target.

"Master... the giant cannons of the Qin army are so terrifying, we... let's withdraw too."

Bai Po's teeth were chattering, and he felt that his world was collapsing.

The once proud Mohist city defense technique is so fragile under the giant cannon.

What is the use of his whole life's learning and his life's belief under this giant cannon?

Deng Lingzi didn't answer him, but looked at the strange hair-stone instruments outside the city with complicated eyes, and whispered.

"Gongshu Ban and Zimozi are attacking each other. Gongshu Pan has nine plans to attack the city, and Zimozi has nine distances. Gongshu Ban's offensive weapons are exhausted, and Zimozi has more than enough defense."

"For hundreds of years, we Mohists have thought that Gongshu's lineage is not only devoid of morality, but also is no match for my Mohist in terms of ingenuity. Even if it is Gongshu's most proud ladder, my Mohist has a way to restrain it ...How could he have created such an astonishing weapon. With this siege equipment here, I am afraid that even Zimozi would be helpless after seeing this scene!"

"Gongshu's technique is better than my Mohist's."

Outside Yangxia City, the Qin Army was in formation.

Standing on the chariot, Zhao Tuo looked at Yangxia City, which was shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance, with the deafening bangs still echoing in his ears.

Following a new round of giant cannon salvos, more than a dozen boulders weighing hundreds of catties bombarded the fragile Yangxia city wall one after another. Boom and collapse.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Tuo smiled to the left and right and said, "Most giant cities may still be able to withstand a few, but these small cities, in front of the cannons of our Qin army, are really as ruined as they are."

"So what if the Mohist city defense technique is more exquisite... The times have changed!"

When Zhao Tuo's words fell, the Qin army's war drum sounded.

Amidst the sound of the drums, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty walked in neat steps towards Yangxia City, which was covered in smoke and had lost the protection of the city wall.

On that day, Qin general Zhao Tuo selected Yang Xia.
