Dong Wenfeng looked at Wei Gao's back and smiled sinisterly.
His favorite thing to do was to call Wei Gao "Little Wei" in front of Wei Jianxiong, the Minister of War.
Seeing Wei Jianxiong jumping up and down in anger but unable to do anything about him, he felt secretly happy.
He found Wei Jianxiong funny when he thought of his short hair.
It’s a pity that he didn’t get to experience the excitement during that period.
After he inexplicably fell off his horse and hit his head, he was in a coma for almost a month.
When he woke up, his memory was confused again for a long time.
Fortunately, after he was completely sober, he had no other problems, but he became more obsessed with practicing martial arts, and his martial arts skills became more and more powerful.
While his martial arts skills were great, he could no longer suppress the violent emotions in his heart and wanted to kill everyone.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little manic.
Dong Wenfeng took a deep breath and looked gloomily at the dark mass of rebels in the distance...
Meanwhile, Prefect Tong and his advisor were hiding in a corner of the tower, looking at the rebels in the distance with complicated eyes...
........
"Dong Wenfeng dug a trap on the only way into the city. The trap was filled with spikes smeared with poison."
Xiao Yunzhan took a branch and drew the situation at the gate of Shiquan City on the ground.
Everyone in the Xiao family and several important soldiers sat around Xiao Yunzhan.
Xiao Yunhao picked up a branch and pointed, "There's a row of traps, each one person deep, in the corners on both sides of the city gate."
Xiao Yunzhan nodded, "So the soldiers can't pass through this open space at the city gate."
"The traps are dug too densely. If you're not careful, you'll fall into one."
General Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard used a barricade, only it was even more immoral."
A chevaux-de-frise is a trap dug on the enemy's path, and then the people on the horses are shot down with arrows.
This area was full of traps. They had to pay attention to the road under their feet, so naturally they had no time to block the arrows shot from above.
"That's right." Xiao Yunzhan looked at everyone seriously.
"So we can't arrange to climb the city walls with ladders."
The situation at the city gate is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The God Army can carry ladders and use human wave tactics to attack and break through the city gate, but the damage will be too great.
"Attacking the city is the worst way." Xiao Yunyou looked at the simple drawing drawn by Xiao Yunzhan on the ground.
"Place four catapults in each of these two corners and throw them towards the city gate tower."
"Then have the soldiers surround the city. At the four corners, erect pillars higher than the city walls. Use crossbows from the tops to shoot into the city."
"Crossbows are much more useful than the bows and arrows they have. Even walls without bricks can be penetrated with a crossbow..."
“…”
Lin Yiran and the women of the Xiao family stared with their eyes wide open, listening attentively to Xiao Yunyou's explanation of how to attack the city.
As Xiao Yunyou was speaking, General Xiao and Xiao Yunchao had already started to arrange catapults and crossbowmen.
All these things were taken away by the Xiao family's private soldiers.
The newly recruited Heavenly God Army has no combat experience, but the Xiao family's private soldiers are very experienced.
Catapults, crossbows and other equipment were all pulled by carts and followed behind the main force.
"Second brother, do you think you should replace the sling's pull rope with something more elastic so you can throw the stone farther?"
Lin Yiran silently took out a slingshot from her arms.
Xiao Yunyou looked at the palm-sized slingshot in Lin Yiran's hand with a confused look on his face.
What effect can this thing have if placed on a catapult?
Everyone in the Xiao family looked at Lin Yiran's small slingshot and fell silent.
On the one hand, they knew that what Ranran took out must be good stuff.
On the other hand, I really can't understand how such a small thing, a stone thrown out, can cause any damage to the enemy.
Lin Yiran picked up a stone, pulled the slingshot, and shot the stone far away.
"Brother, try pulling it. This rope is elastic."
When Xiao Yunyou saw Lin Yiran pull the short rope into the length of his forearm, his eyes widened.
Then she saw the small stone she had shot out hit a tree trunk in the distance. She couldn't help but stand up in shock.
“Let me see…”
Xiao Yunyou took the slingshot, pulled it left and right, and then tried to imitate Lin Yiran and shoot out a stone.
"Is this a smaller version of a handheld bow and arrow?"
After observing and testing it, Xiao Yunyou found that this thing had the same function as a bow and arrow.
If you replace the stone in the hole with the small arrowhead of the sleeve arrow, you can still shoot it out.
Xiao Yunzhan took the slingshot from Xiao Yunyou and observed it.
"This elastic rope can indeed increase the range, but it's a bit too thin. I'm afraid it can't support the weight of the stone."
Xiao Yunzhan pulled the elastic rope a little harder and found that it was turning white in the middle and was about to break.
The stones used for slinging are not light, and the rope will break after a few throws.
“There are thick ones.”
As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, she took out a thick elastic rope that was 80 cm wide and 30 cm long from her arms.
This was the sample the store gave her. She wanted to buy a whole roll, so naturally she wanted to see the sample.
The pupils of the Xiao family members were shocked, and several female members looked at Lin Yiran with an expression that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant.
How can you hide so many things in your arms?
