Chapter 1725 The fortified city is indestructible
Because the catapult cart is too huge and bulky, it often takes several days to deploy the catapult cart position. Most of the soldiers of the Sima Army have never seen this counterweight catapult cart, but they have heard of its horror, and they will inevitably leave some shadows in their hearts.
Now they finally had the opportunity to see these real objects with their own eyes. It was true that they were really shocked by these huge catapults. If the super long catapult arm was raised, it would even be higher than Chen Cang's city wall.
Sima Jun soldiers held their breath one by one, and their eyes were filled with horror. Although Chen Cang's city walls were reinforced, can they really stop these terrible monsters?
Seeing that the Sima Army soldiers were in a wrong mood, Zhoutai shouted loudly: "What a panic? Chen Cang's city walls are built with stones. No matter how powerful the Bingzhou Army's stone catapults are, it cannot shake the city wall at all. If the order is passed, all the troops will strictly guard the position, and they will not whisper or confuse the public. Anyone who dares to neglect the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"
After the military order was ordered, the order of Sima's army suddenly became shocked.
In fact, Zhou Tai was not sure whether Chen Cangcheng could block the attack of the Wei army. Just looking at the Wei army's black catapult position would instinctively make people feel a sense of fear. But at this time, you must not be timid. A little bit of timidity will affect the morale and morale of the entire Chen Cangcheng defender.
The morale of Chen Cangcheng is never allowed to be leaked. After all, Chen Cangcheng itself is a weak enemy and has a disadvantage in military strength. Without Chen Cangcheng's solid walls as support, they would easily be swallowed up by the Wei army.
At this time, what you need is the courage and courage to die before you can live. Zhoutai does not lack this courage, but not every defender of Chencang City has such courage. Therefore, at this time, Zhoutai needs to stand up and boost morale and inspire the morale of the army, and do not be scared by the enemy's formation before the battle.
On the Wei army, Deng Ai and Yang Hu divided the work on command. Yang Hu was responsible for commanding the siege, while Deng Ai was responsible for attacking the aid. Before siege, Yang Hu had already put on a huge stance? He deliberately sent the news back to Longxi to create a momentum to siege Chen Cang.
If Sima Lun and Jiang Wei sent troops to rescue Chen Cang at this time, it would be the only thing that happened to the Wei army. Deng Ai had already gathered the forces of four cavalry battalions and secretly lay on the important road from Longxi to Chen Cang? As long as Sima Jun and Shu army dared to come, they would ensure that they would go without returning.
The Wei army's cavalry battalion has weaker ability to siege the city, but it is an invincible existence in the field battle? Besieging the city and fighting aid have always been the Wei army's specialty. Deng Ai is waiting for the Internet this time? I don't know if Sima Lun and Jiang Wei will take the bait.
Of course, Yang Hu couldn't delay the war again and again? As the weather gradually became colder, the disadvantages of winter combat gradually emerged. Although the Wei army's cold-proof equipment had been upgraded, it was still very important to encounter that extremely cold weather? So after Yang Hu was about to stop, he launched an attack on Chen Cangcheng, striving to take down Chen Cang in the shortest time.
Flying stones were like locusts, smashing towards the city of Chen Cangcheng in a way that covered the sky and the sun. The destructive power of the stone bullets was quite amazing. If a few stone bullets were smashed down, the city gate tower of Chen Cangcheng would be destroyed and turned into a pile of ruins.
The stone bomb hit the pile of people, and it was even more flesh and blood flying, screaming endlessly. Such a stone bomb that fell from the sky was so powerful and destructive that Sima could not resist with any weapon.
Those huge square shields can even withstand the attack of the bed crossbow, but under the destruction of the stone bombs of the catapult, they are as fragile as a piece of paper, and they are easily smashed into pieces. The Sima Bing who attempts to hide under the shield are also crushed to pieces and become a pile of red mud.
Zhou Tai hurriedly ordered the defenders to withdraw from the city, leaving only a few soldiers to observe the movements of the Wei army. Originally, he transferred the defenders to the front post to give them full combat preparations, but under the first wave of stone rain attacks of the Wei army, they almost collapsed completely.
This kind of power to destroy the world is really not something that humans can compete with. Zhou Tai, who witnessed the power of a catapult, was already full of confidence and was a little shaken at this moment. Can Chen Cangcheng really stand by the attack of the Wei army?
Fortunately, the walls of Chencang City were completely made of stone. When Guo Huai rebuilt Chencang City, he really didn't cut corners. Each stone in the city wall was built with long huge stones weighing thousands of pounds, stacked layer by layer, forming an indestructible stone wall.
A catapult can easily destroy the city gate tower and easily kill Sima soldiers, but those powerful stone bombs hit the stone wall, like mud cows entering the sea, and they can only smash some flying stone chips, which can't shake the city wall.
Yang Hu personally supervised the battle behind the catapult formation. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Chen Cang City's solidity was somewhat beyond his expectations. Even stone walls were divided into strengths and weaknesses. If sandstone or weathered fossils were used to build the city, the solidity of the city wall would be greatly reduced. However, if granite or bluestone was used to use stones with higher hardness, the destruction power of the catapult would be significantly reduced.
Of course, what stones to build a city are not man-made. Under the current transportation conditions, quarrying can only be done when there are mountains nearby, which determines that there is no choice for the stones to build walls.
Chencang City is close to Longshan, so naturally it was used to build the walls of Longshan stones. The quality of Longshan stones determines the solidity of the Chencang City walls. From this round of tentative attacks, it can be seen that the stones in Longshan are extremely hard and cannot be easily shaken by the Wei army's catapult cart.
Yang Hu had a lot of experience in using a catapult to siege the city, but this time Chen Cang's solidity exceeded his expectations. Obviously, the desire to use a catapult to destroy Chen Cang in one fell swoop was impossible. If the Wei army wanted to capture Chen Cang, it would have to spend more effort and a greater cost of casualties.
