Chapter 364 – Lord Prime Minister, Times Have Changed!.
“The trebuchet is in place!”
Outside Ganzhou City, one loud sound after another came from the camp of the trebuchet phalanx.
The main pitchers responsible for operating the trebuchet have assembled and calibrated the trebuchet they are in charge of, and report loudly one by one.
Chai Hao, who was located in the middle of the Chinese military tent, saw that the trebuchet phalanx had been prepared, and nodded lightly. So Han Shizhong, the great general beside him, understood His Majesty’s meaning, waved the Ling Banner in his hand, and at the same time, shouted a wind in his mouth.
As Han Shizhong waved the Ling Flag, where the trebuchet phalanx was, the main pitchers holding clairvoyant mirrors immediately got the order, raised their arms one by one, and then waved their hands violently.
At the same time, they all drank a word of the wind.
The 760 wind is nothing else, it is a tradition in the Western Army.
Since ancient times, whenever the men in Guanzhong fought in a big battle, they drank high and fought in the wind.
This is a tradition left since the era of the Great Qin Empire, since the ancient Qin army has endured hard battles, the war will move forward, and death will not rotate. It is about the tenacity of the soldiers born in Guanzhong.
In this western expedition, the vast majority of the soldiers are also Guanzhong men from the western army. This attack on Ganzhou was also the main combat strength of those Western Army soldiers to attack the city.
“Buzz.”
There was a sudden sound in the sky, like the sound of bees surging and vibrating their wings.
But it was not the sound of bees surging, but the sound of the trebuchet’s winch turning and shaking.
With that tooth-biting sound, stones of different sizes flew from various models of trebuchets. A perfect arc was drawn in the sky, like a meteorite falling from the sky, falling directly to the head of Ganzhou City.
Moreover, these trebuchets and divergent stones were not aimless random strikes, but in the first round of offensive, they each aimed at the enemy trebuchets at the head of Ganzhou City.
Bump.
Thundered.
Click.
The next moment, above the city head of Ganzhou, various voices sounded one after another.
With a burst of smoke and dust, the trebuchet at the head of Ganzhou City was destroyed by more than half in an instant. The remaining small half was also crumbling under the follow-up blows of the Great Zhou army.
Above the head of the city, the Prime Minister of Ganzhou, who presided over the battle, looked at such a scene.
I couldn’t help but breathe sluggishly, and my whole brain was almost blank. When he was young, he was also experienced in a hundred battles, but he had never fought such a battle.
It’s not that he didn’t want to let the trebuchet in Ganzhou strike first, but the trebuchet of Da Zhou. Most of them are outside the range of the trebuchets at the head of Ganzhou.
In the eyes of the Prime Minister of Ganzhou, it is such a distance. The Ganzhou side could not fight the army of the Great Zhou, and the army of the Great Zhou should not be able to fight the defenders of Ganzhou.
But he never expected that at such a distance, the trebuchet of the Great Zhou soldier could not only be launched, but also hit so accurately.
This made Ganzhou Guoxiang’s thinking feel subverted.
Because in ancient times, I have never seen such an accurate trebuchet.
Even with a crossbow arrow that is more accurate than a trebuchet, even those well-trained archers are not guaranteed to shoot a crossbow arrow at such a distance!
If Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi at this moment, knew what the Prime Minister of Ganzhou was thinking at this moment. Then he will definitely tell this minister of state with a smile: Lord minister of state, times have changed!
