Chapter 922 Are you sure you're not getting an axe in the class door?

He shot with a bow and arrow, and the range was not far enough, and sent suicide squads or cavalry teams to conduct a raid. However, this road seemed to block Sima Jun, but Yang Hu was not in a hurry at all. He was even calm and looked at the nervous and busy Sima Jun, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Maybe Yang Hu has no choice but to use other weapons, but using a catapult cart, Chen Qian, are you sure you are not showing off your skills?

Due to the lack of innovative spirit, the catapult car used by Sima Jun was still the same as when he was in Guandu. Even if Ma Jun invented a new catapult car, the people in power would ignore it without exception. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, who were the ministers at that time, were not interested in Ma Jun's invention, so they naturally missed the opportunity to improve the catapult car.

Perhaps they think that the catapult is already quite powerful and there is no need to improve it. Besides, the cost of building a catapult is relatively high. If all the existing catapults in the army are eliminated and new catapults are built, it will definitely be a considerable expense.

After all, catapults are just auxiliary weapons and equipment on the battlefield and will not become a mainstream weapon. It is not worth it when it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Cao Liang was different. His new catapult car was very interested in Ma Jun. On this basis, he also studied and invented a counterweight catapult car. This catapult car that only requires little manpower to operate has a longer range, stronger power, and simpler operation. No matter which aspect, it can surpass Sima Jun's catapult car by eight streets.

Yang Hu was not in a hurry at all because he had already placed the counterweight catapult and the continuous catapult on the city wall and could be launched at any time.

Seeing Sima Jun fiddling with the catapult cart in a hurry, Yang Hu's face was more of a mocking look, and he was not anxious at all, because he knew very well that it would take a long time to prepare these catapult carts. All he had to do now was to wait for Sima Jun to put out all the catapult carts and then smash them into pieces.

Because the location where Sima Jun placed the catapult car was completely within the coverage of the Bingzhou Jun counterweight catapult car. Although this powerful catapult car was much smaller than the pull catapult car, the stone bullets used were larger than it, with a longer range and more accurate accuracy. In any aspect, it was like a crushing force.

Neither Chen Qian nor Sima Shi realized this because the Bingzhou Army did a good job in keeping confidentiality in this regard. Of course, even if Sima Jun saw these catapults in detail, they only saw dead objects. They were not as big as Sima Jun’s big ones, so naturally they didn’t care.

Before the catapults of both sides had no head-on competition, Sima Jun had only a vague impression of the catapults of Bingzhou Army, so Chen Qian and Sima Shi dared to take out the catapults with confidence and boldness, trying to break out a hole in Jiexiu's city wall.

When Sima Jun was almost fiddling with him, Yang Hu had already completed the loading and equipment throwing cart and ordered an attack. Ball-shaped rock bullets roared out from the top of the city and hit the catapult position that Sima Jun had just arranged.

The biggest weakness of a catapult is that it has poor mobility and difficulty in moving. Once attacked, it is like a target there, and there is no way to dodge.

The first stone bullet thrown did not hit Sima Jun's throwing car, but it happened to hit the crowd. Every head-on collision between the big stone bullet and the real head was obviously a complete victory. A Sima Bing's head was hit by a stone bullet, as if a watermelon was smashed. With a "puff", his head completely exploded, and red and white objects splashed everywhere, causing Sima Bing to scatter and flee.

Stone bombs are time-consuming and labor-intensive than stones, but the effect is very different. Ball-type stone bombs have higher accuracy and will rebound and roll after landing, causing secondary damage.

The first stone bomb fell into the crowd, not only directly blew a head, but also caused many soldiers to be injured during the rolling process. They either broke bones or had broken tendons. They died when they touched and were injured when they were injured when they were injured.

The sudden attack of the Bingzhou army shocked Chen Qian and Sima Shi, but looking at the safe and sound catapult, they immediately felt relieved. The most difficult thing to control is the hit. At such a long distance, it was so difficult to hit such a small target. Seeing that the Bingzhou military stone was hit by a deviation, Chen Qian and Sima Shi looked at each other and smiled without any attention.

But the next moment, they couldn't laugh because the second stone bomb hit a catapult with great accuracy. Even though the rack of the catapult looked extremely thick, it was as fragile as paper in front of the rock bullet coming from the sky. With a loud "click", the wooden rack broke, and the entire catapult became a pile of rotten wood.

Chen Qian and Sima Yi were stunned. This was so accurate, maybe it was because of a coincidence. This was so accurate. It had never been heard that a catapult would have such a big accurate head.

By chance, this must have happened that the blind cat encountered a dead mouse!

However, they quickly gave up this idea because the Bingzhou Army's stone bombs shot over one by one, obviously aiming at these catapults. At first, the hit rate was not too high. They could probably hit one or two in ten, but the more they shot, the more they shot, the more they could hit four or five in ten.

This hit rate of nearly 50% is really terrible. Only when stone bullets fly in the air, Sima Jun carefully arranged the catapult cart turned into a pile of waste wood.

"Counterattack! Counterattack immediately!" Chen Qian ordered in a furious manner.

Seeing that the carefully prepared plan was destroyed, how could Chen Qian not be angry? But he was powerless because it was too difficult to move the catapult car. Moreover, if he retreated at this moment, it would have a serious impact on the morale of the army. Chen Qian was naturally unwilling to retreat like this.

Anyway, although hundreds of catapults were damaged, most of them were still intact. So Chen Qian ordered a counterattack. If you can shoot, I can't shoot. Using catapults to hit is the best counterattack method.

However, Sima Jun's catapult did not complete the final preparations. At this time, he was in a hurry to face the challenge and was even more in a hurry. Moreover, the stone bombs of the Bingzhou Army fell down one by one, either hitting the catapult or hitting the pitchers around the catapult, which made Sima Jun's pitchers panic. How could they accurately operate the catapult?
