The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 564
After a while, Guo Jing's face was as usual.

Possessing the two unique skills of Jiuyin Quanzhen, Guo Jing's attainments in internal strength cultivation are not inferior to his Dragon Subduing Palm.

"Rong'er! Mohe has completely retreated!"

After Guo Jing opened his eyes, he asked the first sentence.

Seeing that Guo Jing was fine, Huang Rong's heart was relieved.

"Brother Jing, don't worry, you smashed the gigantic boulder with one palm, the morale of Mohe's soldiers plummeted, and the sky became dark. They all retreated!"

Guo Jing was relieved after hearing the words, then got up and walked out of the tower.

As soon as they stepped out of the city tower, the soldiers who were repairing the city defense and clearing the battlefield all stopped what they were doing, and looked at Guo Jing enthusiastically, as if worshiping a god.

The power of that palm just now is really terrifying!
"General Guo!"

"Master Guo!"

Guo Jing also felt this surprise, and was at a loss for a while!

While hesitating, Huang Rong sent a voice transmission, "Brother Jing, you only need to be normal as usual, now you are the backbone of the generals of the Great Zhou, and when you are on this city wall, they will be able to show extraordinary courage! "

After hearing this, Guo Jing calmed down, and then walked all the way to the climbing path.

It was still the same as usual, greeting soldiers and martial arts people, but the reaction of the other party was obviously different!
Originally, although Guo Jing had a certain reputation in the martial arts, he was just like an ordinary knight in the rivers and lakes. His greatest reputation was the disciple of the Northern Xia and the son-in-law of Dongxie.

Disciple of the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River... This is not a big reputation.

Although Qixia is a chivalrous generation, his martial arts are really inferior, so he can't be considered a big man.

And the prestige in the army mostly comes from his method of leading troops and Yu Yanyi's trust.

Today's slap has completely created a reputation, even on the list of Tianjilou in Jianghu, his name will also be added.

In the army, the generals and schools respected him even more.

Just as Guo Jing and his wife were about to get off the ascent to the city, a big bearded man who was familiar with him came over.

"Wudang Mo Shenggu, I have met Guo Daxia, Huang Nvxia!"

It was Mo Shenggu, the youngest of the Wudang Seven Heroes.

Mo Shenggu has an upright personality, bold and open-minded, and is a bit of a social cow!
"My teacher once said in the past that among the two great schools of the Beggar Town Sect, the Dragon Subduing Palm is infinitely more powerful than the Sky-shaking Iron Palm and Yiqi Palm learned by my Wudang disciples. Back then I didn't believe it, I thought it was my teacher's self-defeating words, but today I realized that the palm power of Subduing Dragon is so powerful."

Under Wudang Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Qingyuan, the swordsmanship is respected by Mu Taoist, and the palm technique is undoubtedly the best of Ziyang.

Ziyang's Qi Palm is also extremely powerful, and Thunderbolt Palm is also fierce and indestructible, but compared to Guo Jing's Subduing Dragon Triple Waves just now, it is still more than a notch behind.

"Mo Qixia is ridiculous!"

Compared to Guo Jing who is a bit dull and shy, Huang Rong is a social expert!

"Speaking of which, Brother Jing and I have a nephew who is also studying under the Wudang sect. He is also very similar to Mo Qixia. He comes from the real Wudang lineage!"

In this way, isn't the relationship one step closer? !
According to the law of seven, everyone can recognize any seventh person in the world through the six people they know.

Including the old man Deng and Chuan Jianguo!
Mo Shenggu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, are they three generations of disciples in the sect? !There is no one of the three generations of Zhenwu disciples that he doesn't know!

"I don't know who the two nephews are under?"

"My nephew, surnamed Yang and Mingguo, studied under Yang Qingyuan and Yang Shaoxia of the Wudang sect!"

Hearing Huang Rong's answer, Mo Shenggu was embarrassed!

Second... second generation? !
He knew this Yang Guo, he had met him at the Zhenwu Taoist birthday banquet, and he was also the second generation disciple of Wudang Zhenwu.

Yang Qingyuan's disciples are the same generation as Mo Shenggu, and Guo Huang and his wife are Yang Guo's elders. After this calculation, Guo Jing and Huang Rong have also become Mo Shenggu's elders.

Huang Rong is such an astute person, when she saw Mo Shenggu's smile, she knew what he was probably worried about!

"Hero Mo doesn't need to care about red tape!"

It's not that Mo Shenggu didn't want to be called a senior, it's just that Mo Shenggu wanted to meet a good brother at first, but this good brother suddenly became his elder, so it's hard to accept!

With Huang Rong's words, Mo Shenggu regained his Sheniu character again.

Walk down the mountain with Guo Huang and his wife.
-
It was night, in the mansion of the commander-in-chief of Jinyang City, the military situation was being discussed.

Due to the failure to install the catapult early today, a lot of casualties were caused.

"Yu Shuai, the most casualties of our army today are the local catapults. Among them, the 12 yuan boulder directly hit our army on the city wall, and three boulders hit the magic crossbow array behind. The soldiers suffered heavy losses without checking. 97 divine machine crossbowmen were killed, more than 150 wounded, and [-] nine divine machine crossbows were damaged." Guo Jing concluded as the deputy general of Dongzhaomen.

"That's right! Yu Shuai! If it wasn't for General Guo Can take action today, my life would be under the catapult!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was on the side, still had lingering fears when he thought of the scene of the boulder flying towards him!
"In the bitter cold land of Jianzhou, naturally there will be no such equipment. It should be after entering the Central Plains that we began to plunder and learn. While our soldiers and horses are tempering, these Mohe people are also improving, absorbing and learning from our warfare. Law."

"Hey! There will be more catapults tomorrow. Today's catapults have played a big role. Presumably those Mohe people will continue to use them in large numbers. They should have craftsmen from my Great Zhou in their army, and they will definitely work hard to build them!"

Thinking of the catapult, Zhu Zhangui felt anxious for a while.These were originally the essence of Da Zhou's siege equipment, but now they are used by these Mohe people to attack Da Zhou's city. It's really uncomfortable!
Yu Yanyi, who was sitting at the top, comforted,
"You don't have to worry too much. The master craftsman who will be the supervisor has already found a way to neutralize the lethality of these catapults. I have sent people to make them overnight, and they can be used to defend the city tomorrow!"

"During the past two days, the Dongzhao and Dongzheng sects will be tight, but the other six sects must also be careful to guard against the massive attacks of the Mohe tribe! If there is any slack, the governor will punish them severely!"

"Follow Jun's order!"
-
In the early morning of the next day, with the sound of the horn, the Mohe army set up their formation and fought again.

The defense change has also been completed on the Jinyang City Wall.

The soldiers who had been guarding all night had returned to the camp to rest, and the soldiers of the Jinyang Army who had rested all night to recharge their batteries returned to the city wall.

Different from yesterday, the walls of Jinyang City today have more shelves covered with cowhide.The top is sloping.The places where the cowhide is connected have been specially reinforced and covered the city wall.

"Woo!" The familiar thick horn sounded in the Mohe army formation again, heralding the beginning of the siege the next day.

After two days of siege battles, Nurhachi can confirm that the effect of the catapult on the damage and morale of the Zhou army is excellent.

Then today's battle also started with the catapult.

Let's invite Catapult to speak!

"Catapult! Ready!"

The commander in charge of the catapults was Nurhachi's confidant. Seeing these big guys in front of him, the commander felt proud. Now he was in charge of these powerful catapults.

"put!"

In view of the performance of the catapults yesterday, Nurhachi urgently ordered five catapults to be transported from the rear, and asked the army's Zhou craftsmen to make five simple light catapults.

At this moment, there are already 22 light and heavy catapults in the Mohe army.

Light catapults have a shorter range, and they all go forward, but light also has the advantage of being light, and the rate of fire is slightly faster than large catapults.

The five newly-made catapults started to move at the same time. Due to the rush to make them, all the manufacturing techniques were rough, and the fit of the joints of the mechanisms was not high, making teeth-piercing creaking noises all the time.

Five small stone bombs flew towards the city wall of Jinyang.

Two fell in front of the city wall, one hit the front of the city wall, one flew over the city wall and hit the residential houses behind, and only one stone bomb hit the top of the city wall.

In the army formation, Kong Youde also saw the abnormality on the Zhou army's city wall, and suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Why is Mr. Kong laughing!" Nurha was puzzled.

Kong Youde smiled and said to Nurhachi, "I laugh at Yu Yanyi for being short-sighted and reckless, thinking that building these wooden sheds would be able to withstand the stones! You must know that the stone bullets are supported by the catapult, even if it is a light catapult. , the force of the stone bullet when it fell was also over a thousand jun, how could this kind of wooden shed be possible..."

Then Kong Youde couldn't continue talking, the slap in the face came unexpectedly.

The stone bullet hit the shed and was bounced away immediately.

Nurhachi and Kong Youde looked at each other silently, this is too embarrassing!

"Uh, don't worry, my lord, this is just a light catapult. Even if Zhou Jun can get away with defending it, it will definitely be difficult to deal with a large catapult!"

Kong Youde's tone was extremely firm, and Nurha Chi nodded frequently. What Kong Youde said was in line with his opinion!
Soon, the facts proved Kong Youde's point of view.

Seventeen catapults were launched together, and the 17-yuan boulder rose into the sky!

But in the end only four pieces went as planned.

Almost in no particular order, the four pieces hit the temporary howling cowhide barrier heavily, and the Zilin bamboo and iron wood supported below also made the sound of bearing huge force and deformed.

Although the momentum was frightening, he still supported it.

In the end, the boulder, whose power was completely dispelled, was ejected by the reaction force of the cowhide for a short distance and landed directly in front of the city wall.

The Zhou army on the city wall and the Mohe army below watched this scene in complete silence.

This is too childish!

Yu Yanyi watched the satisfied scene on the tower, Nian Xu smiled and nodded to indicate that he was one of the creators of the scene here.

Looking at the actual combat effect in front of him, Yu Yanyi felt that the night last night was not in vain!
This is the fortification that the master craftsman in the prison made after a night of experiments with multiple layers of howling cowhide as the surface, Zilin bamboo as the bone, and iron wood as the support.

This howling ox is a kind of cattle unique to the southeast, its hide is extremely tough, it is difficult to break through a crossbow at a distance of [-] steps, and its defense power has caught up with a well-trained Yuanhua master.

The Zilin Bamboo is also extremely tough, and it is difficult to break due to the strength of a thousand junctures. It is often used to make weapons.

Earlier, Yu Yanyi ordered to bring all the materials that might be used in the prison warehouse in Shendu to be brought in, and they were indeed used.

This cowhide canopy can not only withstand bows and arrows, but even the stones of the Mohe tribe's catapults can defend against dozens of stones without breaking!
"Continue to prepare!" The commander in charge of the catapult of the Mohe army felt that his faith was about to collapse!

Ever since he saw the power of the catapult, he began to be superstitious about the power of the catapult, thinking that the powerful and indestructible flying stone was blocked by the cowhide that looked like such a joke, how could he believe it! ?
The second round of boulders continued to be launched under the command of the commander. This time, the accuracy was even worse. Only two boulders hit directly, but the huge impact force attached to them was still dispelled by the tough howling cowhide.

The commander's eyes were a little dull, and his supposedly invincible catapult failed again.

Nurha Chi in the army also looked at Kong Youde with resentful eyes, which was different from what he said!

Kong Youde stopped talking, he was also very embarrassed!
But this can't be blamed on him, he's a liberal arts major, so he's a master!How can you understand science and engineering? !
The situation is the same here at Dongzhaomen!
Zhu Zhangui watched the scene and smiled, now it's time for Da Zhou to fight back!

"Get ready! Aim at the target! Set up the elements!"

"[-] enemy catapults ahead! Prepare! Release"

Both sides shouted preparations, but the latter part of the sentence was completely different.

Under Zhu Zhangui's order, four huge boulders spun upward from behind the wall of Zhaomen in the east of Jinyang City, soaring into the sky and flew towards their target catapult.

Only one of the four stone bullets hit the Mohe tribe's catapult, and the two deviated extremely far!
The rest also fell within fifty steps of the catapults of the Mohe army formation.

The Mohe soldiers also felt the feelings of Zhou Jun in Jinyang City yesterday.It is useless to resist and struggle in front of the fast-flying boulder.The only thing they can do is to pray to Tengger, the god of heaven, that the stone will not fall on their heads.

"The enemy also has catapults! Fight back!" The catapult commander of the Mohe tribe felt his blood boil, and he finally had a decent opponent!
"Behind the target city wall! Let me go!"

The commander had a good idea. Since there was no catapult on the city wall, it must be hidden behind the city wall. After estimating the approximate angle of the shot, the Mohe catapult began to fight back.

But what they didn't know was that Zhou Jun's catapults were not within their range at all, and the performance of both sides was not in the same order of magnitude.

The catapult used by Zhou Jun is called the Flying Stone Pao, which was conceived by Yang Qingyuan, a former scholar of the Imperial Academy, and made by the craftsman who will be the supervisor.

This kind of flying stone cannon is actually a counterweight catapult.

It consists of a horizontal lever, a base, and the counterweight used is lead. The entire catapult is pulled apart by a winch. There is a cable on the winch, and the end of which is connected to the driving wheel of the iron winch. The beam arm of the trebuchet is pulled down.

These four catapults are the works of Jiang Zuojian, and they are finely crafted. Compared with the old-style catapults of Dazhou, although [-]% more people are needed to operate them, they are both powerful and ranged to a higher level.

I remember that when Yang told the design concept of this catapult to Jian Jian, who will be the prisoner, everyone was astonished.After testing, this new type of catapult is not only more powerful than the original design, but also has a range of [-] steps beyond the original old catapult.

Yang Qingyuan named it "Huihui Pao"!
