Chapter 363: Great Zhou Heavy Industry, Who Can Be an Enemy?.
Above the city wall of Ganzhou, Luo Ge Ebony, the national minister, had a sonorous voice and resolute words. Anyone can hear the intention of seeking death.
Because after the break, it is almost sent to death!
“Let’s attack the city.”
Outside the city, Chai Hao waved his hand lightly, and said without joy or sorrow.
He persuaded Luo Ge Ebony to surrender, not because of anything else, but because he felt that attacking a group of old, weak, sick and disabled would insult the prestige of the Great Zhou generals. But when this group of old, weak and sick refused to surrender and took up arms to hold on, then they were an army, the enemy of the Great Zhou!
Then for the enemy, Chai Hao and the Great Zhou generals, there is nothing merciful to speak of!
With Chai Hao’s order, the war machine of the Great Zhou started in an orderly manner. The first to appear was the trebuchet phalanx.
These trebuchets range from large trebuchets that can launch tens of hundreds of pounds of stones to small trebuchets that can only launch fist-sized stones and are fixed on the back of camels.
There is no need to say that the small trebuchet is the invention of the Xixia people, who fix the small trebuchet on the back of a camel, launch a fist-sized stone, within two hundred steps, can smash the watermelon!
Western Xia also had an army dedicated to operating camel trebuchets, called the Puxi Army. Later, this equipment was obtained and improved by Dazhou.
Now with the same weight, the range has reached three hundred paces.
Other large trebuchets are also different from traditional trebuchets.
Traditional trebuchets are crude and bulky, and require local materials, which is cumbersome and takes some time to build.
However, under Chai Hao’s instruction and promotion, countless craftsmen in Dazhou brainstormed and created a trebuchet that was much smaller in size, but its power was not reduced.
And the components of these trebuchets are all constructed on an assembly line, and each team of craftsmen is only responsible for making one component, and the standards are uniform.
If a component is broken, take out the spare one and use it directly.
Therefore, this trebuchet can also be split into many parts and easily pulled by horse-drawn carts, ox carts, camels, etc.
Therefore, it was precisely because of such a powerful manufacturing capacity that the Great Zhou army was able to pull out a huge trebuchet phalanx when it first arrived under the city of Ganzhou.
If those armies in the past had attacked the city, just logging for material, it would take ten days and a half months to build trebuchets to start attacking the city.
Above the head of the city, the Prime Minister of Ganzhou looked at Chai Hao and gave an order, and Da Zhou immediately pulled out an assembled trebuchet army, and he couldn’t help but breathe!
This scene was something he didn’t expect!
He thought that with the tall city wall of Ganzhou to block the Zhou army, even if the Zhou army built a few trebuchets, it would take several hours of time!
But I never expected that Zhou Jun’s preparation was so rapid and sufficient!
“Such a powerful empire, even the engineering ability, is so amazing! Who in the world can be an enemy of it? ”
Khan is wrong nephew!
“Wait is all wrong!”
Yaoluo Ge Ebony sighed, and his eyes were full of bitterness.
“Trebuchet ready!”
He also waved his hand and let the trebuchet in the city prepare for launch.
He also knew that the trebuchets in Ganzhou would not have the power of the Great Zhou trebuchets, but they had a condescending advantage and should be able to save some of the battle situation.
As long as it can block the Zhou army for a few days, it will be a victory for Yaoluo Ge Ebony!.
