Chapter 628 Killer (second update)
After Su Rong reversed the situation, she bent down and picked up an arrow feather on the ground, and compared it with the arrow feather in the hands of the Southern Chu soldiers, and then compared it with the arrow feathers in the hands of the soldiers she brought from Daliang. This comparison revealed that Dawei's arrow feathers are lighter and look sharper and thinner, but they are extremely tough, so they have a long range.
She thought, the bows and crossbows in the hands of the Wei soldiers must be extremely light and light, and they are more advanced and powerful than the crossbows of Daliang and Nanchu.
It seems that the Great Wei has not done nothing these years. It has been improving military weapons and enriching the country and strengthening the army.
Ye Guixue was a step slower than Su Ronglai. After he stepped onto the city wall, Su Rong had turned the situation around. He saw Su Rong was studying with an arrow feather, so he immediately walked to her side, "Prince, it's dangerous here. You just step back and go to the rear to command, I will come here."
Su Rong looked up at Ye Guixue, "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of danger. Although Wei's attack was fierce, Yuanzhao had 800,000 soldiers and I have 500,000 soldiers and horses. I can’t win the Black Cliff Pass for a month, so I’m thinking, Yuanzhao won’t just attack hard.”
She handed Da Wei's arrow feathers to Ye Guixue, "Look at this, since Da Wei has improved both the crossbow and arrow feathers, what about other weapons? Will they also be improved?"
Ye Guixue took over the arrow feathers, and when she heard the words, her expression became solemn, "It's hard to say."
"It has been sixteen or seventeen years since Da Wei signed the contract with Daliang. For so many years, if Da Wei has been researching and improving weapons, and concealed them very well, then it is not just for bows and crossbows. I am afraid there are other powerful things. .” Su Rong said.
Ye Guixue nodded, "Because the Nangong family colluded with Dawei, Ye Xiangfu also secretly planted a hidden stake in Dawei, but the hidden stake could not be inserted into the military supervision of Dawei, so no information about the improvement of Wei's weapons was sent back. information."
"It's normal. If it was easy to be investigated, Wei would not be so rich and powerful." Su Rong felt that although she never underestimated Wei, she probably underestimated.
Sure enough, when she finished speaking, Da Wei saw that the situation had reversed, so he simply replaced the siege cannons and began to attack the city. There were six siege cannons in total. When the rumbling sound came out, the walls of Heiyaguan City felt shaken.
Su Rong's expression changed instantly.
Ye Guixue's expression also changed drastically.
The two looked at each other and stepped forward together. They saw a large cannon barrel clamped on a device similar to a siege vehicle. More than a dozen Wei soldiers were pushing behind them. Two of them shook the iron lock one from the left and the other from the right. , a blazing fireball will be shot inside, and then the city gate will be bombed, rumbling and shaking.
"This thing must be destroyed immediately." Ye Guixue said immediately.
Su Rong nodded, "It's going to be destroyed, otherwise, no matter how strong the black iron city gate or the huge stone city wall is, it won't be able to withstand such an attack."
It takes a long time to fire the cannon barrel before firing the second shot. The siege vehicle is clumsy, and the siege cannon mounted on the siege vehicle is not very flexible, but such a fresh military weapon, even if it is a little clumsy Delicate, but enough to make people frightened and panicked.
Except for the Great Wei, neither Southern Chu nor Daliang had such things.
Before that, Daliang and Nanchu didn't get the slightest word.
Su Rong wanted to be on the border between Liang and Wei earlier, and Yuan Zhao actually withdrew his troops. Did he think it was not the right time to take out this thing? Now it is for her to use in Nanchu.
Su Rong gritted her teeth and said to Ye Guixue: "You are in charge of staying on the city wall to dispatch, and I will lead people to open the city gate and fight out."
Su Rong raised his hand to stop him, "The soldiers can't resist, you take people to resist for a while, I won't kill out immediately after I go down, I will make preparations, bring the hidden guards, and then kill out, it must be destroyed These siege cannons, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to last for half a month or three days."
"Princess!" Ye Guixue sullenly shook her head resolutely, "If I want to go, I will go."
Su Rong also sullenly said, "Master Ye, this is an order."
Ye Guixue was silent for a moment, but she still looked at Su Rong resolutely, "Shuchen can't take orders."
Su Rong laughed angrily, "Okay, Ye Guixue, do you really think I'm a princess, you call me nice, but you never think I can order you, do you?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "No, the princess should understand that among all your gold, it is impossible for me to let you take risks alone."
"Who said you are alone?" Su Rong said, "I will bring all the hidden guards."
"There is no need for me to defend the city here. Brother Ning Ze, Brother Zhang Mao, and Brother Jiang Zhu can all defend the city. Together with the princess, I went out to remove these siege cannons."
Su Rong glanced back.
Ning Ze immediately said loudly: "Prince, don't worry, the three of us can hold the city wall."
Su Rong looked at him and said with a smile: "With such little skill, how many people can you kill on this city wall? Go to the rear to dispatch, Rolling Thunder Stone or something, the more the better."
Ning Ze choked suddenly, slumped, and said in a low voice, "I'm not that useless, I just killed...three Wei soldiers."
"You killed three soldiers, and Jiang Zhu and Zhang Mao saved you twice." Su Rong pointed out.
Ning Ze fell silent immediately, and immediately threw the sword in his hand, went down the city wall, and ran to dispatch.
Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu looked at each other and said in unison: "Prince, don't worry, we can hold the city wall."
Su Rong nodded, and stopped arguing with Ye Guixue, and said to the two: "Okay, then I will leave this place to you."
After speaking, she turned and went down the city wall.
Ye Guixue explained to Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu, and changed the defensive strategy against Wei's siege strategy, and then followed Su Rong down the city wall.
As soon as the two walked over the city wall, they felt a little relaxed, Jiang Zhu yelled, "Defend the city wall and don't relax."
He swung his sword and killed a Wei soldier who rushed up the city wall. Zhang Mao also yelled sharply, and the two of them worked together to block a gap that the Wei soldier had just opened briefly.
Jiang Zhu and Zhang Mao were suppressed by Wei's ferocious siege at the beginning, and the soldiers of Southern Chu were the same. Now Su Rong, alone, reversed the situation on the tower in a short period of time, returning home at night. Xue re-deployed the defense strategy based on Wei's siege strategy, which gave them a backbone. Although the sound of the six siege cannons below the city and the shock of the fire made people dizzy, they were no longer frightened. He calmly commanded the soldiers to fight against the soldiers of Wei to defend the city wall.
The soldiers all woke up together and did not dare to relax. They quickly blocked the gap and protected the entire city wall airtight, making it impossible for the soldiers of the Great Wei to climb up the city wall with the help of human ladders.
