Peerless Pirates

The Qi army spent a lot of effort building this ice and snow wall. Before the Qi army entered the customs, Li Yuandan made preparations and cut down most of the trees near Chang'an City in order to prevent the Qi army from building a siege city.

The latest chapter of The Instrument Cold Thorn.

There are slopes on both sides of the ice and snow wall, which looks like a long embankment. The side of the ice embankment facing Chang'an City is relatively rough, while the other side is very elegant, with slides and steps. Although these steps are also made of ice

It's made, but there are a lot of straws left on the ice, so it's not slippery when you step on it and it's easy to climb.

Just to build this ice and snow embankment, the Qi army collected all the snow and vegetation in a radius of five miles. Tens of thousands of troops worked continuously and spent a lot of manpower to build this embankment. This embankment is six meters away from the city wall.

More than ten steps away, within the range of the Xixia army's arrows.

In fact, during the construction process, Li Yuandan felt something was wrong. Not only did he have people shoot arrows, but he also used a huge trebuchet in the city to try to destroy the ice embankment. However, these stones were all used as materials for building snow embankments. As for the

The Qi army soldiers hid behind the ice embankment, and no matter how powerful the bows and arrows were, they could not hit the arrows. As a result, the embankment had another function. The Qi army could easily gather behind the snow embankment. The Xia army did not know that the Qi army

What is the army doing?

The Xixia army made a fuss, but instead sent a lot of arrows to the Qi army. At this time, Li Yuandan stopped, and he had people closely monitor him to see what the Qi army wanted to do.

The answer is there. Early in the morning on November 20th, when it was just dawn, the Xixia army at the gate of Chang'an suddenly discovered that rows of huge wooden frames suddenly appeared on the ice embankment. These wooden frames were from yesterday.

It was secretly transported up the chute behind the ice embankment at night.

Go. These days, the Qi army plays gongs and drums on the ice embankment every night, and it is very noisy. The Xixia army was nervous for a while at first, but then became numb and allowed the Qi army to do whatever they wanted. As long as the Qi army did not

Once you get to the city, everything will be easy to say.

The wooden frame on the ice embankment included two types of equipment, one was a trebuchet and the other was an arrow stack. The two equipment were separated from each other. The Xixia army had just given a warning when a sharp arrow flew out from the arrow stack and went straight into the Xia army.

The back of his neck. Xin Yu, who had recovered, stood on the tall arrow stack with a solemn face, letting the north wind blow his shirt and make a rustling sound.

This arrow was like a military order. In an instant, the archers on each arrow stack fired their bows at the opposite city wall. The arrows shot out like locusts, so that the Xixia army on the wall could not even lift their heads for a moment.

At this moment, the trebuchets started to move. What they threw were not stones, but ice blocks as big as millstones. In this weather, it was too troublesome to dig out the stones and it was not convenient to transport them. Xiao Dingguo had people cut through the Ba River and

The water was used to pull out the two-foot-thick ice block and pull it onto the snow bank.

This time, the two rivers in Baqiao Town, Ba Shui and Water, were used to the extreme. Large ice cubes were used as ammunition for trebuchets, while small ice cubes and river water were used to pour snow embankments.

Ice cubes are much lighter than stones and can be thrown farther. In addition, the trebuchet is set up on a solid snow bank, and the height is almost the same as the city wall, which increases the range. Another key is that these ice cubes are almost

It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

This is not a trebuchet, but a unique ice trebuchet.

The ice cubes and hockey pucks from Shida flew into the city with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, destroying any standing buildings on the ground. It directly turned the nearly one mile of the city wall into an uninhabited area. You know

, the Xixia army was ready and concentrated inside the city wall.

Not far from the side, even if Daqi used a trebuchet, they could not reach them. Who knew that Daqi had built such an ice embankment and only used ice cubes to throw them. At this time, the Xixia army suffered a disaster and was hit by ice cubes falling from the sky.

If it hits, it will still be smashed to pieces.

Of course, if an ice cube falls from such a high place, it will break into many pieces when it hits the ground. Unlike a stone, even if it cracks, it will only break into three or five pieces. It is precisely because the ice cubes are not as strong as stones, so they fall one by one.

The broken ice cubes flew up, leaving people bruised and bruised.

For a time, there were endless screams in Chang'an City. The ground within the entire shooting range was covered with layers of large and small ice blocks. The Xixia sergeants who were hiding everywhere were smashed into a miserable state. Although not many people died.

, but this deterrence is huge.

It was not only the city that was unlucky, but the city wall was also covered with ice. Coupled with the suppression of the archers, the Xixia army huddled behind the crenels on the city wall and did not dare to show their heads. As for the latest chapter of Xia Xing Troubled Times.

The tall towers on the city wall were still in ruins even after several large ice blocks hit them.

People rest, but machines never rest. On all sides of Chang'an City, Baizuojia ice-throwing machines worked for a whole day, sending countless ice cubes into Chang'an City. In the inner city near the four city gates, there were piles of ice cubes.

iceberg.

The Xixia army suffered heavy losses, and the Qi army was not easy either. Although there was a lot of ice, it was not easy to dig and transport it. All the Qi troops were on the move, and all the vehicles and horses were used to transport the ice. The soldiers of the Qi army were

I was so tired that I stinked to death. The only good thing was that there were no casualties.

The next day was another day of ice attacks. The ice thrown into the city yesterday was removed by the Xixia army overnight. Otherwise, once the Qi army attacked the city, the soldiers would not be able to go to the city wall to support them if there were these ice blocks.

The ice cubes were thrown for three days in a row, which made the Xixia army feel miserable. Later, the Xixia army also thought of this method and planned to retaliate in the same way. The ice cubes thrown into the city were collected,

When water is poured on it, it melts into ice balls. However, these ice balls are not yet useful. Because they have been frozen for too short a time, they are not strong when melted together. Unlike the ice cubes dug out by the Qi army, they have been frozen for nearly a month since the beginning of winter.

Many months of freezing.

On November 23rd, the ice-throwing machine worked for a whole day until it completely darkened. At this time, a team of more than 60 people sneaked into the ice embankment and quietly headed toward the city through the darkness of night and the sound of gongs and drums.

Touch in the direction of the door.

The leader of this team was none other than Zhang Bing. They were wearing thick cotton clothes and their heads were wrapped with cloth. They crawled on the ground and slowly crawled towards the city gate.

Perhaps he was so numb from being tortured by Qi Jun that he didn't even notice this team. It took Zhang Bing nearly half an hour to crawl under the city gate. Soon, he took off four bamboo tubes from his body. Each bamboo tube had

The thickness of the arm is two feet long

Yu. Then he took out a rope and tied the four bamboo tubes together. The other soldiers also took out their own bamboo tubes and ropes and passed them to Zhang Bing. Zhang Bing began to tie them up again. He carefully,

Afraid of making any noise.

After more than half an hour, all the bamboo tubes were tied together. A sergeant next to him handed over two more bamboo tubes. Zhang Bing opened the stoppers and poured two balls of liquid on them.

At this time, behind the ice embankment, groups of soldiers stood quietly, not breathing.

Xin Qiji climbed up the ice embankment and looked towards the city gate with a solemn expression. Half an hour later, when Zhang Bing and others climbed back, Xin Qiji said calmly to Xin Yu beside him, "Send the order and raise the fire."

Soon, the Qi army lit up their torches. The flames soaring into the sky behind the ice embankment immediately attracted the attention of the Xixia defenders at the city gate. They loudly warned the sergeants. The Xixia army, which had been tortured by the ice-throwing machine for a day, reluctantly cheered up and prepared.

Fighting with the Qi army at night.

However, before they could fully react, two lights of fire suddenly appeared on the ice embankment. Xin Qiji and Xin Yu, father and son, each holding a rocket, stood proudly on the ice embankment.

"Hurry, release your arrows and shoot those two people!" the Xixia army guard shouted loudly. The Qi army's abnormal behavior made the Xixia army guard feel something bad.

At this moment, Xin Qiji immediately fully opened his bow and shot out the arrow with a swipe. The rocket suddenly hit the city wall and began to fall down. The firelight illuminated the direction of the city gate. Immediately afterwards, Xin Yu's arrow

He also shot out. With the rocket shot by his father, he could clearly see the pile of nearly two hundred bamboo tubes stacked together.

With a bang, the rocket was piercing the bamboo mountain, and the bamboo tubes that had been poured with kerosene suddenly burned.

At this time, arrows from the Xixia defenders came over. The Xin family turned over, slipped down the slide behind the slope, and plugged their ears.

A moment later, there was only a violent bang, like several thunderbolts exploding at the same time, making a huge noise. The ground beneath my feet shook violently, and even the solid ice wall made a cracking sound.

The Xin family and his son were shaken by the shock. The sergeants behind the ice embankment all sat on the ground. Everyone was trembling, their heads were dizzy, their ears were buzzing, and they seemed to be about to faint.

The power of six to seven hundred kilograms of gunpowder is indeed extraordinary. These gunpowders were all the gunpowder in the Daqi military camp. They were packed into bamboo tubes and placed at the city gate in one breath. In fact, the ice on the other three sides of Chang'an City

The embankment is just to confuse and frighten, in order to cover this explosion.

Thanks to the ice embankment, otherwise, I don’t know how many Qi troops would have been injured by this huge explosion.

With a whooshing sound, an object fell from the sky and landed in front of Xin Yu, startling him. After seeing clearly that the object turned out to be a piece of blue brick, Xin Yu was overjoyed, "The city is broken, brothers."

Rush quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant drum behind the army was beaten, which was the signal to march. All the Qi army immediately divided into three groups, two groups bypassed both sides of the ice embankment, and the middle group climbed over the ice embankment and headed towards the city gate together.

Rush in the direction.

Xin Qiji and Xin Yu climbed back onto the ice embankment and looked forward. The scene in front of them was astonishing to them. The entire city wall of more than ten feet to the left and right of the city gate had been blown down, forming a huge gap. Countless fire dragons.

They rushed towards the gap, and on the city walls on the left and right, the Xixia army was directly shocked to death by the huge explosion. More than a hundred soldiers were killed, and the others were still lying on the city wall wailing.

Inside the city wall, due to the ice-throwing machine during the day, the Xixia troops hiding outside the range of the ice-throwing machine had no time to rush to the gap to block it.

The city of Chang'an will be destroyed tonight!

"Father, if there are no explosives, how can we break this fortified city?" Xin Yu shook his still dizzy head and asked the question that had been hanging in his mind for a long time.

Xin Qiji smiled bitterly and said, "Then there is only one stupid way, which is to dump the ice and snow forward, and push the ice embankment forward little by little until it is pushed under the city wall. However, it will take more than two months to do so.

.Until the spring of next year, whether it can be piled under the city is still a question. And we can't wait so long."
