?Under the city of Xiangyang, Yuwen Wen was quite proud of looking at the catapults on both sides. This was a powerful weapon created by the Anzhou army with all its strength. It must be powerful and quantity.

Xiangyang is a famous city in the world. It is land in the east, south and west, but it has a wide moat dug. The river water comes from the Han River in the north of the city and will not dry up for many years.

But for time travelers, Xiangyang's greatest reputation comes from two historical events: the first is that during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yunchang's northern expedition to Xiangfan, flooded the seven armies, but were attacked by Lu Meng of the Eastern Wu and cut off their retreat. He was captured, defeated and killed in Maicheng, and left his eternal regret.

The second is the battle of Xiangyang in the Song and Yuan dynasties. The Legend of the Condor Heroes Guo Jing and Huang Rong led the Xiangyang soldiers and civilians to resist the Yuan army for several years and finally died heroically. The Condor Heroes Yang Guo killed the Mongolian Khan Mengge among thousands of troops...

Well, the plane is not in the right way and it will be repeated!

The second is the Battle of Xiangyang in the Song and Yuan dynasties. It took nearly six years from the Battle of Anyangtan, the general A Shu, who attacked Xiangyang by the Mongol General A Shu in the third year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty to the ninth year of Xianchun (1273).

During this period, the Xiangyang defenders repelled countless attacks, and the Southern Song court also sent reinforcements along the Han River countless times to try to support. The Song and Yuan dynasties carried out a series of offensive and defensive battles around Xiangyang. Finally, the Song army strongholds around Xiangyang were removed one by one and turned into an isolated city. The Xiangyang defenders suffered heavy casualties after years of besieging, and there were no reinforcements outside and no food or grass inside to support them.

At this moment, the Yuan army used the final weapon - the gravity catapult. This was the siege equipment built by the latest technology brought by the Arabs in the Western Regions. It eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xiangyang could no longer hold on and surrender to the defender Lu Wenhuan. The Southern Song Dynasty that lost Xiangyang was over was over in a few years.

Now Yuwen Wen has erected this "cross-era long-range gravity-projecting cannon" under Xiangyang City by nearly 700 years!

Countless Anzhou soldiers looked at the huge catapults in amazement. Some of them had seen the small number under Changshou City, and some of them had first seen the sharp siege equipment in the army.

Their only thought was: how many people would it take to pull this thing!

In this era, there are catapults, but they are all humans used as driving force. It is hard to imagine how many people will be needed to move such a huge catapult. What's more, there is no long rope tied at the bottom of the cap, and it seems that people don't need to pull it. So how can it throw a stone?

All the stones prepared by the cannon weigh fifty or sixty pounds. How far can this thing throw the huge stone?

Intentionally or unintentionally, many people are asking about the mystery, but soon they get the answer: this thing has magic!

I saw a Taoist priest murmuring in his mouth with a wooden sword hand, and pinching the talisman paper with strange patterns in the other hand. Then he put the talisman water on the talisman paper with his mouth, "The Lord of the Supreme One is as anxious as the rule!"

A soldier stepped forward to take the talisman paper, then climbed onto the tall shelf of the catapult cart, carefully pasting the talisman paper on the wooden basket hanging under the tip of the candle.

"I'm right, I'm right. They did this last time in Changshou City, so this catapult cart can throw a huge rock without human power." A soldier in the crowd said to the people around him.

"It's okay? This... Which mountain gate is this Taoist? I wonder how much it is to invite a ritual?" Everyone around leaned over and asked. This magic is really great. In the future, wouldn't it be a charity for the Taoist priest to plow the fields at home?

There is also no need to paddle when sailing on the water, and loading and unloading goods saves labor. It is really a spell that can boost wealth!

"I heard that it was a strange encounter between Xiyang County Duke. He knelt in front of someone for more than a month and impressed the Taoist priest with sincerity before asking his disciples to come and help the battle." Someone said with a striking remark, the man was Yuwen Shiwu with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek.

"Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes." This is the 'silly bold and bold' Chen Wudi who is echoing.

"Then where is this Taoist priest's law system?"

"It is said that he was a great sage from England in the extreme west, and the Taoist name is 'Newton's Heavenly Master'." This is Yuwen Wen disguised himself as a "Baoda Ting" and hid in the crowd to spread rumors.

"The Newton's Heavenly Master was originally a mortal. One day, he took a nap under the fruit tree and was hit by the fallen fruit. He suddenly became enlightened and obtained the true teaching of the way of heaven and created an immortal foundation."

"What kind of spell is this?"

"It is said that it is called the 'Law of Gravity'. If you learn the subtlety, you can ascend to the nine heavens in the sun. This is just a trick of carvings and insects!"

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this.

That's right. There is no equipment in the world that can automatically throw stones without human beings. This time, with the help of gods and men, the Anzhou army will surely turn bad luck into a lucky battle!

The power of rumors is great. After the Taoist priests put the talisman on all the catapults after finishing the trick, they 'sang and resonated' everywhere through many suspicious small groups. The entire Anzhou army knew that this "cross-era long-range gravity-type projectile cannon" was blessed with magic, and Xiangyang City could not be broken every day!

After the practice was completed, the catapult cart began to load the bullets. The soldiers set up formations on the edge of the trench in front of the catapult cart to raid the defensive army to destroy the siege equipment. Seeing this, the defenders on the city were busy lifting huge curtains.

A common and effective defense method for dealing with stones thrown by a catapult is to raise the curtain and stand on the top of the city. The so-called stones flying with softness and hardness will fall into the curtain and then fall to the ground, and cannot cause too much damage to objects or people after the curtain.

This time, the official army guarded the city and recruited the people of the whole city to assist in defense, collecting all the useful fabrics to sew cloth curtains. Now the curtains erected at the city heads of Xiangyang are of various colors, and should be sewn with different colors of cloth.

With a sound of a sound, the tip of a catapult cart outside the city began to flip, and then a huge rock roared towards a huge curtain at the top of Xiangyang City.

After a harsh tearing sound, the huge rock that hit the cloth curtain was wrapped in cloth but continued to rush forward and tear it apart and then crashed into the house behind the city wall.

With a "boom", the house turned into a pile of ruins and dust.

Seeing this, the nearby defenders were silent. Among them, there were many veterans who had attacked and defended the city. This cloth curtain is a necessary equipment to defend the city and has miraculous effects on flying stones. Why is it useless now?

Several of the catapults outside the city were launched one after another. Some of the thrown stones fell on the moat and stirred up the sky water column, some fell under the corner of the city wall, and some flew over the curtains on the top of the city and flew into the city to stir up a burst of dust.

The sentry inside the Anzhou army erected a nest car that was observing the situation at the city gate was shouting something loudly to the ground, and then saw the soldiers who operated the catapults climbing up the bracket and fiddling in the wooden basket, putting things in or throwing things out of it.

The defenders on the arrow tower couldn't help but shoot arrows outside the city, and the feathered arrows floated in front of the army guarding the catapult cart. The location of the catapult cart had exceeded the effective range of the bow and arrow.

In other words, the defenders could only silently withstand the attack of the catapult but could not effectively fight back.

Wang Yi looked at the densely packed catapults outside the city with a look of pale face. Now he finally knew why the Anzhou army was so sure of capturing Xiangyang City: they knew magic and could make huge catapults without human power!

Save manpower, these catapults can probably throw stones day and night. In the southwest of Xiangyang City, Hutou Mountain is inexhaustible. How long can Xiangyang last if it is thrown day and night?

The continuous sound of trumpets interrupted his thoughts, and the dense catapults outside the city were launched, throwing dozens of kilograms of huge rocks into the city wall, and the whistling sounds one after another.

With a "boom", an arrow tower was broken by a huge rock. Half of the arrow tower fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The archers on it were unaware of the life and death. The huge curtains erected on the top of the city lost their effect and were knocked down by the huge rocks one by one.

Bang, bang, bang, the huge rock hit the surrounding guards at the city head, only to feel the bricks and stones splashing on the ground, and stood firm and saw that the huge rocks had knocked out a pit in the city wall, and several cracks spread out, and the battlements on the city head were gone without a trace.

The Anzhou army also attacked the city walls on the east, south and west sides of Xiangyang City. After the first round of attacks, the arrow towers on the three sides of Xiangyang City lost 10% and the curtains were removed 60%.

Wang Yi looked at the miserable situation on the city with a pale face. Just now, the huge rock fell on the side and splashed stones not far away. He hit his guard. A lucky helmet blocked the impact of gravel on his head. Some unfortunately was hit by gravel and fell to the ground with blood and blood.

He saw the catapult outside the city pull the winch and slowly pull the pole down. Then several people pushed the huge stone into the cloth bag, and a new round of cannon attacks would begin.

"Hurry, everyone except the observation post is going to the city wall to hide!" He issued an order to let most of the defenders on the city wall leave the city to hide from Shiyu. After all, standing on the city wall under the attack of such terrifying weapons can only die in vain!

However, not long after the attack began, the huge rock fell like rain and the arrow tower collapsed. The gravel on the top of the city was mixed with broken arms and limbs, and the bloody aura spread out.

After receiving the commander's order, the defenders rolled and crawled to the top of the city. Except for the sentry who observed the enemy situation, no one saw anyone outside the city. Wang Yi, the corner of the city wall, gasped and ordered: "Appoint the Xiangyang navy to go on a move, and no matter how much the price, it will burn the Hannan floating bridge!"

"Except for sentries, let everyone hide under the city walls, not too close or too far!"

"Prepare wood and stones to repair the gap in the city wall."

"Send people to Jiangbei to ask Fancheng to recruit most of his men across the river to support him, and send a message to Cui Yanmu, so that he can quickly reinforce him!"

The Anzhou army had no naval army, so they were eager to attack Fancheng in Jiangbei. The Xiangyang naval army would rather go south than do nothing in the water camp and burn the Hannan floating bridge and cut off the connection between the Anzhou army and the east coast.

"Send people to Jingzhou General Administration to inquire!"

After one round of arrangement, Wang Yi calmed down a little, but his frown could not be unlocked. The Anzhou army had magic to help him. How long could it take to attack the Xiangyang city wall day and night?

Outside the city, the soldiers of Anzhou were stunned as the sky was filled with stone rain falling to Xiangyang City, stirring up dust. Outside the central army tent, Yu Wenliang was twisting his beard and looking at the Xiangyang city wall, nodding slightly, and the generals beside him were all surprised.

Among the onlookers, Yuwen Wen led three hundred 'thorn hands' and a group of personal soldiers away. Yuwen Shiwu followed him and asked, "What will the Lord of the United States do in a while?"

"I have come up with a few new gameplay packages and you will be happy."

"What is the new way to play?" Everyone became interested when they heard this. Although they could not steal the heads and generate income, the "Sunset County Duke" took advantage of the generous military salary to give them enough food. Although the training was a little harder, it was quite interesting. Anyway, the County Duke would not deliberately spend them.

"The long spear with a boiling blood thrusts, running towards the armed cross-country running towards the setting sun, and chasing back and forth by the river with a passionate love!" Yuwen Wen showed his deep white teeth, "I am optimistic about you!"

In the water camp on the north side of Xiangyang City, naval warships sailed into the Han River in a dense manner and sailed downstream to Hannan. They just received the order from the commander Wang Yi to break the downstream Hannan floating bridge at any cost.
