General Qin

Chapter 83 Gan Tang

The artillery bombardment shook the world.

As the noise ceased, the dust dispersed.

The city wall of Jicheng appeared in front of everyone again. The towering turrets of the city head were bombarded by artillery stones and collapsed on the spot, and there was a gap in the city wall hit by the artillery shells.

At the same time, the terrified cries of Yan soldiers on the city wall sounded.

The power of a shot is so terrifying.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, and Qiang Li, who was still waiting to see the joke with disdain just now, even opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.

"This...how is this possible."

"Why is there no one to pull it, but it can shoot a boulder? What kind of power is this?"

"How can it be so powerful to knock down the turret with one blow?"

"Tianwei, it must be Tianwei!"

...

The generals looked at the tragic scene on the city wall in the distance, and then turned their heads to look at the wooden equipment beside them, their eyes full of horror.

They still don't understand why the stone machine without the soldiers pulling it can throw a hundred catties of boulder two hundred steps, and smash the tower with one blow.

How could such power be achieved by manpower.

Li Xin's eyes were also horrified at this moment. He looked at Zhao Tuo with a calm face, and his emotions rose and fell like waves.

There are so many things that surprised him about this young man.

The large formation of the Qin army in the rear shouted again and again, screaming one after another, and even the military judge couldn't stop it.

Not only the Qin army watching from a distance, but even the soldiers who had already participated in the experiment were shocked by the actual combat power of the boulder.

Shejian showed a look of surprise, and the black buttocks even screamed: "My mother, if this is hit by a cannonball, I'm afraid it won't be turned into meat sauce on the spot."

If it is considered calm, it is the two Mohists.

Zhao Ji stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and the object he held fell straight to the ground.

He stared at the process of the object landing, and murmured: "Gravity. Gravity?"

Lu Jun on the side looked at the heavy object hanging from the gun shaft of the hair stone machine, thoughtfully, "It is said in the "Mojing" that "force is heavy. Down, and, and heavy." It turned out to be this What do you mean?"

Just when everyone was frightened or thinking, Wang Jian burst out laughing.

"Okay. It is indeed an artifact handed down by Gongshuzi. It really has unpredictable power. If you attack the city with this object, how can the city not be broken! If I, Daqin, get this object, the four kingdoms will surely perish!"

Hearing the general's voice, all the generals also praised.

"This thing is really powerful. With the help of this thing, my army of Qin will surely sweep all directions and be invincible in the world!"

"Gongshu Ziguo is a master craftsman in the world, and these objects can be called uncanny craftsmanship."

Facing the surprise and admiration of the generals, Zhao Tuo remained calm.

It is normal to use the most terrifying siege weapon 1,500 years later to bombard the city wall 1,500 years ago. With such an age gap, it is normal to have such results.

At this time, Wang Jian straightened his back suddenly, looking at Jicheng in the distance who was in panic.

"All generals obey orders!"

Wang Jian's eyes were piercing, and he had already spotted the opportunity to fight.

"All the generals return to their headquarters, take advantage of the chaos and attack the city, and take Jicheng in one fell swoop!"

"only!"

The generals bowed their hands and agreed, they suppressed the horror in their hearts, turned around excitedly and hurried back to the front line.

Among them, Qiang Li ran the fastest.

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Tuo.

He kindly said: "Young student, can you still have another shot!"

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "The general has an order, no matter how many cannons you can shoot."

Zhao Tuo prepared three sets of counterweight trebuchet materials for replacement. As long as you take it out, you can immediately assemble two more.

The soldiers moved the new stones that had been prepared, reloaded and fired.

The roar shook the sky and the earth.

At the same time, the passionate war drums sounded.

The black-armored army sang the ancient war song, with an indomitable momentum, rushing towards Jicheng like a wave.

...

Yandu, Tongxia Terrace.

Yan Wangxi sat on the couch in the hall, surrounded by red and purple mist, making his figure appear and disappear from time to time, making him look strange and blurred.

"Goddess saves the orphan, and saves my country of Yan."

He muttered in his mouth, staring straight at the open space in front of him, and at the same time stretched out his hands to grasp, as if there was a woman standing in front of him.

Boom!

A huge roar came from a distance, and the whole palace seemed to tremble. King Yan shivered and fell off the couch.

"goddess!"

Yan Wangxi got up from the ground, his eyes became clear again, but the goddess who was hugging him just now had disappeared without a trace.

"Goddess, why did you leave alone!"

Yan Wangxi screamed in grief and wailed loudly.

Since the Qin army besieged the city, Yan Wangxi has been in panic all the time. Fortunately, Jicheng, which was constantly reinforced by the ancient kings, was like an iron wall, and the soldiers and people in the city were united as one, keeping the Qin people out of the city, which gave him a sense of security.

However, as the Qin army continued to attack the city every day, coupled with the continuous consumption of food in the city, the warehouse would be bottomed out in a few months at most. This made Yan Wangxi more and more worried, and could only relieve his worries by taking the pills offered by the alchemists. .

The things offered by those alchemists are also miraculous. After eating a small thing, they can make him supernatural, touch the legendary fairy, and forget all the sorrows.

After Yan Wangxi took the pill, sometimes he could see the gods flying in the sky, sometimes he could see the villains running on the ground, and sometimes he could even meet the dead kings.

But until today, he did not meet the Goddess of his dreams.

He is confiding his heart to the goddess, hoping to get the help of the goddess like the former Jun Zhaowang to repel the Qin people and conquer the lost ground.

But at the moment when the goddess smiled at him and was about to embrace him.

The earth was shaken and Yan Wangxi was awakened from the fairyland.

"What it is?"

Yan Wangxi thought of the huge roar just now, it was a sound he had never heard before, like a landslide, it made him feel terrified.

He was about to call his attendants to inquire, when suddenly there was another terrifying sound, like a thunderclap, which made Yan Wangxi jump up from the ground.

"Is it the east side? What's going on? Could it be that the fairy in the sea heard Gu's call?"

Yan Wangxi's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of those alchemists who once said that on the ocean in the east, there are sacred mountains named Penglai and Yingzhou, and immortals with great supernatural powers and immortals live on the mountains.

Could it be that these immortals heard Gu's plea for help and came to save my country of Yan?

Just when King Yan was thinking about it, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

Yan Dan looked terrified, and yelled as he walked: "Father, something is wrong. The Qin army is about to break the city!"

"What?"

King Xi of Yan turned pale with shock, and shouted: "The city walls of my capital Yan are strong, and the soldiers work hard, so don't talk nonsense about how the Qin army can break the city."

Horror still remained on Yan Dan's face, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's a boulder. I don't know what method Wang Jian used to make a boulder weighing hundreds of catties fly into the sky. Ah. Although the city wall has not collapsed now, it will be a matter of time. The soldiers guarding the city all said that the Qin people used witchcraft, and they all ran away in a hurry.

"Jicheng, we can't hold it anymore!"

"Boulder flying into the sky?"

Yan Wangxi was dumbfounded, thinking of hearing the huge roar just now, his face turned ashen.

It turned out that the immortal was not helping himself, but the hateful Qin people.

"Let's go to Liaodong! There is still an elite soldier alone, enough to guard the city. As long as we can rush out, we can still protect our society!"

Facing the crisis of life and death, Yan Wangxi became decisive instead, and directly activated the backup plan.

He kicked Yan Dan and strode out of the hall.

After leaving the palace, a Gantang tree planted on the stage fell into Yan Wangxi's eyes.

He froze for a moment, looked at the big tree with luxuriant branches, and muttered in his mouth.

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it down, don't cut it down, call Boss Long.

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it down, don't be defeated, it's where Zhao Bo rests.

Hid Fu Gantang, don't shoot and don't worship, as Zhao Bo said.

Tears could not stop rolling down.

Yan Wangxi knew that he would never come back again.

The Gantang tree, which extols Zhaogong's moral government and represents the nostalgia and praise of the people of Yandi, will eventually fall under the sword and axe of the Qin army.

Under the tree, this piece of land ruled by the descendants of Duke Zhao for 800 years will also become the territory of Qin State.

How powerful the "cannon" is, in fact, it is still written according to the history, and the original words in the history books are used in many places.

After all, this is a historical novel, and the author can only try to write according to unearthed cultural relics, history books, and related academic papers. As for more professional physical science knowledge, I really don’t have the energy to study it slowly, and choose everything according to the needs of the plot.

"Mojing·Jing Shuo Shang": "Strength means weight. Down, harmony, and strength"

Because of the difference in punctuation and interpretation, the meaning expressed by this sentence is very different.

Whether it refers to "gravity" or not is a matter of opinion.
