194 The hand-stitched Gongsun family banner can express the sincerity of surrender

Cao Bao was also a little panicked, but in front of Tao Qian, Cao Bao did not dare to show panic.

My lord, “It’s just some catapults, and my subordinates have seen some catapults before. The stone is no more than thirty or forty meters tall, and the height is no more than two feet.”

Xuzhou “The city walls are strong and tall, so these catapults won’t damage the fur if they hit them.”

Not to mention “If these catapults want to hit Xuzhou City, they are already within reach of bows and arrows.”

After Cao Bao finished speaking, Tao Qian nodded.

Some other generals, Xiao Rong Mi Fang and others also nodded one after another.

I have to say that after Cao Bao finished speaking, he believed it.

Soon, the archers of the brigade brigade, at least three to four thousand people, all went to the city.

Just waiting for the catapult of the Sun Yi Army to come, shoot the soldiers operating the catapult to death.

At the same time, many archers use rockets, which can burn catapults.

Tao Qian became more at ease as he watched, and couldn’t help but praise Cao Bao.

At the critical moment, to protect the environment and the people, it still depends on General Cao.

Cao Bao’s modest expression is that the shepherd is wise.

The two were singing and making peace on the city wall. While they were flattering each other, the catapult of Sun Yi’s army stopped.

Chen Deng, who had been looking around on the city wall, looked at it, not feeling very good in his heart, and then he was about to come back with a bow and arrow.

Although Chen Deng was not a military commander, he was both civil and military. He drew a hard bow and shot an arrow.

Then the arrow landed about two feet in front of the catapult formation.

Chen Deng’s expression suddenly changed.

“General Cao, I’m afraid there is something wrong. These catapults are parked very far back, out of reach of bows and arrows.

At this time, Cao Bao didn’t want to listen to this, and laughed, “Chen Yuanlong is very business-oriented. Of course you can’t shoot with bow and arrow. It’s better to see my Xuzhou athletes withdraw from the enemy!”

When Chen Deng heard this, he gritted his teeth and threw his bow and arrow to the ground. He cursed a word of waste in his heart, but hurried to the house with his father.

Along the way, Chen Jue asked, “Yuanlong, what shall we do when we go back? When the city is broken, there will be no eggs under the cover.”

Chen Deng smiled, “Father, don’t worry, let’s go back and sew the Gongsun family’s flag by ourselves. The red background and blue lettering of the gold border flag is not very laborious. It can definitely be sealed before the city breaks.”

“When Grandpa Sun Yi leads the army into the city, we can just hang up the grand flag of the Grandson family.”

When Chen Gui heard it, he praised again and again.

At this time outside of Xuzhou City, Chen Niu’er had asked the engineers to push the catapult to the established position.

Speaking of which, Sun Yi once taught Chen Niu’er and other engineers the principle of distance measurement.

Chen Niu’er, in particular, is very talented. Now he can roughly measure the distance visually with his fingers, and the error is no more than two feet within one hundred feet.

“Ready to test fire!” Chen Niu’er gave an order, and the engineers suddenly became busy.



Some reinforce the base of the catapult and put wedges.

There is a way to adjust the angle of the catapult.

The other operating winches and those placing stones also moved in an orderly manner.

Cao Leopard on the city wall sneered at the catapult in the distance.

“There are only fifty catapults. It is really whimsical to deal with a hard city like Xuzhou.

“Archers, set the rocket! Burn their catapult.

As Cao Bao yelled, Tao Qian and other generals on the wall became excited.

The archer ignited the firelighter wrapped around the arrow and then threw it in the direction of the trebuchet.

At the same time, there was a tidy loud noise, and the catapult launched the first round of stones.

The rocket drew an arc in the air, and then sparsely fell to a distance between three feet and ten feet in front of the catapult position.

The farthest shot was not as far as Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong before.

The rocket stuck in the dirt and soon went out.

And fifty rocks larger than human heads slammed down with the howling of death.

There was a loud crackling noise.

Of the fifty stones, some hit the outside of the city wall, some hit the city wall, and some hit the city directly.

Although it doesn’t look particularly neat, all the stones actually reach the walls of Xuzhou City, and none of them fall outside the walls.

And these stones are powerful.

When I hit the wall, I smashed open the bricks and stones outside. After a burst of smoke and dust, it was a large hole the size of a well, and the rammed earth inside was exposed.

When it hit the wall, a few unlucky archers were hit by a stone. The first two were directly smashed, and the others were either dead or injured.

A stone smashed through the city wall, it was a mist of blood.



It’s not much better to welcome the city.

A house closer to the city wall was hit by a stone, and a ten-foot-sized hole was smashed directly into the roof. The house fell down after a short while.

Tao Qian’s face turned pale, and the others around Zia Rong Mi Zhu Mifang were so scared that they ran off the city wall one after another.

For a time, only Cao Bao, Zhao Yu and other generals were left on the wall.

Cao Bao was also scared, but he knew that riding a tiger was difficult now, so he could only continue to shout loudly and let the archers shoot again.

At this moment, under the command of Chen Niu’er, the catapults outside the city began to adjust their shooting angles.

In the words of the engineers themselves, the first round of firing was just a test firing, which was used for calibration.

Only later did they really start to exert the true power of the catapult.

“,”Target Xuzhou city wall! Catapult ready!

“put!”

This time the sound of the catapult was more neat.

Fifty howling stones basically smashed into the upper middle and upper parts of the outer walls of Xuzhou.

Suddenly, forty or fifty huge holes appeared in a section of the Xuzhou city wall.

The bricks and stones outside fell down.

The rammed earth layer inside was also cracked a lot by the catapult.

Cao Bao felt the entire city wall swaying under his feet, shouting and shooting arrows again and again.

The archers in Xuzhou kept firing arrows. This time they didn’t use rockets anymore. They didn’t have enough range, so they used light arrows.

But the one who shot the farthest just reached the edge of the catapult position.

There were soldiers holding wooden shields in front of the stone cart positions. The occasional few light arrows were also blocked by the wooden shields, and no one (Li Zhao’s) was injured by the shot.

Then came another round of catapults.

Cao Bao’s face turned pale again.

The rate of fire of these catapults is too fast, right?

Why did it launch again so soon?

Chen Niu’er outside the city still had some regrets in her heart.

Ever since Chen Niu’er saw the three-stage strike of the sword crossbowmen, he wanted to use the catapult to play the three-stage strike.

Let the catapult position launch one after another.

It is a pity that the current number of catapults is too small, only fifty, and they can’t even play a two-stage hit.



Only by launching together can there be momentum and the damage caused is even greater.

You can only use it when you build more catapults and smash a stronger city in the future.

Chen Niu’er regretted it, and the guards in Xuzhou City were even more regrettable.

Bows and arrows do not hurt the catapult at all, which is really a headache.

A series of catapults have been smashing the middle and upper layers of the city wall. The bricks fell more and more, and the rammed earth layer inside fell more and more. Chi,
