At dawn, Xitang and the others were all lying on the crevice of the wall and looking down, and everyone laughed with open eyes.
Four corpses lay in the mud of the moat, and three corpses lay on the edge of the moat.
Just how high is the courtyard wall of their Zhuangzi, and how wide can the moat be
So they could clearly see that the seven people were already dead, and the red blood beside the corpse had stained the mud red.
Although only seven Japanese pirates were killed by them last night, they were still very happy.
Everyone can understand that these seven are completely dead, and since the living people have become corpses, the Japanese pirates will naturally not drag them back.
As for the Japanese pirates who were shot on the fence last night, they must have been rescued by their companions.
Therefore, the number of Japanese pirates killed and wounded must be much more than the seven dead under the nose.
As for the Japanese pirates who are still alive and kicking, they have naturally retreated a stone's throw away.
Even though the hundreds of Japanese pirates are still under pressure, with the victory last night, the people on the fence are at least not as nervous as before.
But when everyone looked at the Japanese pirate's back, their complexion became a little ugly.
In the cold weapon era, the number of the enemy and the enemy is not too much, and there is no threat to each other with a stone's throw.
So Xitang, they can see clearly on the wall.
There are six long ladders just behind the Japanese pirates, and this ladder is naturally the siege tool of the Japanese pirates.
"What's that?" Xitang asked, pointing to the two objects two to three hundred steps behind the Japanese pirates.
At least Xitang has never seen such a thing.
That thing was a wooden shelf with a long wooden pole inserted diagonally.
Because they were so close, they could see clearly that the wooden pole was still turquoise. It was made by removing the branches and leaves of the newly cut tree, and there was a pocket-shaped thing hanging on the top of the wooden pole.
"Simple artillery cart." Han Wenmu answered.
"Huh?" Xitang didn't understand.
"Used to throw stones into the city." Han Wenmu explained again.
"Oh." Xitang felt that she understood a little bit.
Isn't that just putting a stone in a pocket that you don't know what it is made of, then pressing down the wooden pole, and then throwing the stone into the village as soon as you let go!
"Have you ever played chess?" Han Wenmu asked again.
"I haven't played, but I have seen it." Xitang answered honestly.
"Isn't there a cannon in the chess piece? It's this game." Han Wenmu said very clearly this time.
And Shang Zhen also fully understood: "Painting at Geshan, that's how it came from!"
Yes, the cannons that Shang Zhen they are seeing are the "cannons" in Chinese chess.
The earliest artillery was not a firearm. It is what Shang Zhen sees now. It is called a trebuchet in the West.
When the red cannon or the Flange cannon appeared later, the "cannon" in chess also became the "cannon".
Although the power changes during the launch, the shells have also changed, but whether they are shells or shells, they are all thrown out.
"It's a bit troublesome this time, and I don't know how big a rock this cannon can throw.
This group of dog days, I said that there was no attack yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be building ladders and guns. "Bai Yuchuan also interrupted.
He just woke up, with a look of sleepy eyes.
Only when Bai Yuchuan finished speaking, everyone on the fence saw that the Japanese pirates in front of them were really moving.
Moreover, there were a lot of people when they moved. There were dozens of people who pulled the rope on the wooden pole of the gun cart and bent the wooden pole.
Then two people really carried a stone into that pocket.
"Fuck, can they throw it here? Can they throw it here?" Xitang said in surprise, but he also felt guilty.
"Of course you can. Didn't you see that the stone does not weigh
This is the simple artillery cart they are building now, and the book says that if it is that type of artillery cart, it would be much more complicated than this.
It is not a problem for the artillery cart to toss hundreds of catties of stones onto the tower. "Han Wenmu explained again.
"Hundreds of catties of stones?" Xitang's eyes grew long when Han Wenmu said this.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like when a stone weighing hundreds of catties fell from the sky.
If it hits a person's head, the person's head will definitely collapse. If it hits the roof, it can definitely make a big hole in the house cover!
"So how do you hide?" Xitang asked with a guilty conscience.
"It must be impossible to hide in the house, just hide behind the wall." Han Wenmu said.
They really did not expect that the Japanese pirates had built two artillery carts.
"This bench ran out last night and wrecked it. Now there is no movement." Bai Yuchuan complained.
But then he smiled "hehe" again.
"Sick, you still laugh? How great is that experience!" Shang Zhen said with air.
"Hey, you said it would be great if this stone was thrown into Zhuangzi to kill Zhu Xi," Bai Yuchuan whispered.
At the same time, he glanced to the right again.
A few dozen steps away from the right, a Jin Yiwei is also looking at the situation ahead.
"I think it's OK, just hit Zhu Xi and don't hit others." Xitang rarely agrees with Bai Yuchuan.
In fact, it is not only Xitang Bai Yuchuan, but also Han Laoliu and others looking at Jin Yiwei.
The two sides shook hands and made peace, but Jin Yiwei did not work!
Yesterday when they were transporting stones and bricks to the fence, none of Jin Yiwei's handle was extended.
The hand-held embroidery spring knives, all of them resembling door gods, were watching from the sidelines, as if everyone else was coolie, but their Jin Yiwei was a supervisor.
But yesterday after dark, the Japanese pirates attacked Jin Yiwei and came to this big wall.
But Zhu Xi saw that the Japanese pirates got the bamboo sticks of the wedding candy and there was no regulation, so Zhu Xi took the people back to sleep!
You say, who is not angry about this matter? !
I was surrounded by Japanese pirates. Even if everyone has conflicts, they should all help each other. You Jinyiwei is so awesome that you still put on a stinky air!
"Look, the Japanese pirates are going to throw stones, they are all hidden!" Han Zhuzi shouted at this time.
The courageous still curled his neck to look, and the timid swiped and hid behind the wall.
"Test shot, it's impossible to be accurate." Han Wenmu said disapprovingly.
At this time, someone from the Japanese pirate screamed, and that was undoubtedly the command to fire the gun.
Then, everyone on the big wall saw that the wooden pole that had been smashed to the ground was a bullet, and the stone in the pocket of the wooden pole really flew toward them!
Imagining that a stone weighing more than ten kilograms that is getting closer and closer is hitting it down. It is really terrifying.
However, in fact, as Han Wenmu said, how accurate is this throwing, it's just a temporary gun wagon.
Sure enough, the parabolic stone fell down after flying to the highest point. As for the landing point, it was still forty or fifty steps away from the city wall!
But it was quite shocking to make a dull sound when he fell on the ground.
Seeing that it was okay, no one was hiding, but they all looked out again.
The Japanese pirates began to move the artillery cart. Since it was thirty or forty steps away, the Japanese pirates naturally moved the artillery cart forward by thirty or forty steps.
Then, the Japanese pirates began to put stones in that pocket again.
"Sooner or later, we can't hit our heads like this?" Xitang said.
However, what can they do well? Isn't this how it is in this era
Although they could clearly see the actions of the Japanese pirates, the position of the Russian artillery car was far beyond the distance of the bow and arrow.
They could only watch the Japanese pirates use the artillery cart to play the "game" of smashing people with stones.
The first stone was not thrown to the place just now, but this time the second stone flew by!
The second stone flew over from a height more than two feet above the fence.
When everyone turned their heads, they saw that the stone was hitting the courtyard wall of the house behind them.
The courtyard wall was a soil wall, the hostess of that house was feeding the chickens, and the group of roosters and hens were crowing around the host, and then they "boomed", and the unbearable soil wall was knocked down.
The hostess didn't touch it. Everyone heard the hostess's frightened scream in the dusty place.
But the yard was naturally dusty, and there was a lot of hoops, and as for the few chickens that were shot dead, no one really counted them!
"I've got a good look, it's hit us this time, avoid the line projected by the stone!" Han Wenmu shouted loudly.
And this third time, the Japanese pirate's artillery cart really hit the wall where they were.
It's just that this wall is of course not a farmyard wall, but it's made of stones, it's thick, and it's impossible to knock down the wall.
In the "bang", everyone felt the vibration of the wall, and there were fine stone chips splashing away, and they even saw the sparks produced by the collision of the stones.
As for the person who hit the big wall, it is still impossible.
Although the gun carriage adjusted the distance, the line of the shot was not adjusted, and everyone had avoided it a long time ago.
And at this time, the Japanese attack began. The six groups of Japanese pirates each carried a long ladder and ran towards Zhuangzi. At the back were those with knives and shields, and then the Japanese pirates. Archer.
