Chapter 71 Throwing the Car

(Thank you, the cold wind generation boy. Today, the little guy's condition has been under control, and fortunately there is no injury to the liver, kidney, heart and other organs. Fortunately! Finally, I can breathe a little relief! I can only guarantee two update for the time being. Please forgive me!)

When the sky lit up again, Zhuang Ding were surprised to see several things appearing in the open space outside the village overnight. The smarter people recognized what these things were at a glance, so they suddenly shouted in panic.

After hearing the news, the Fan family hurriedly climbed up the village wall one by one and looked out. When they saw these things clearly, they were immediately shocked and panicked.

"How did this come from? Didn't you find it last night?" As soon as Master Fan looked at these things, he immediately asked several sentry Zhuang Ding.

Several Zhuang Ding replied in con'ssment, "Young master! Last night, we heard the chaos outside, but we didn't see what they were doing. Besides, we couldn't see anything dark outside. It was not until dawn that we could see these things clearly! You can't blame us!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Think about how to deal with the pole outside! What's wrong with this! What about Luo Li? Where did Luo Li go? Fan Laocai put his crutch on the ground, interrupted his son and these Zhuang Ding, and asked Luo Li where he was going.

Fan Dashao immediately collapsed his shoulder and replied with an unlucky face, "Dad! Last night, Luo Li said that the pole didn't seem to be moving well. He insisted on going out to find out what the pole was thinking, but he was caught by the pole. I guess he had been cut off by the pole for a long time! I didn't expect that the pole would get these things out overnight! What can I do!"

It turned out that Xiao Tianjian didn't sleep almost all night. He took his men to help the carpenter. He even cut wood at night to create three simple throwing cars. Because of the rush of time, these three throwing cars did not even go to the bark. No matter how rough they were, they were even so primitive that there was no weights. They were just tied to the pole of the car. A few thick ropes are all dragged by manpower to raise the throwing rod. In this era when artillery has begun to be widely used, it can be said that many people did not expect to make this thing.

Although Xiao Tianjian now has a tiger squat gun, after the inventory, Xiao Tianjian is very frustrated. The ammunition of the tiger squat gun is only enough to release a few cannons. Before the suspension bridge is put down, if the tiger squat gun is bombarded with the Zhuang wall, it basically has no effect. It can only be used to bombard Zhuangmen at critical times.

So after thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered this original stone machine, so he began to make it overnight. Fortunately, the material of this thing is simple, it can be made of strong wood, and the structure is also very simple. Build a strong base, and a throwing rod on it can be used, so Three throwing cars were made overnight, and it was cast last night. Unexpectedly, a stone weighing several pounds was thrown nearly fifty steps away, which was enough for them to use.

Before dawn, he commanded his hands to get the three throwing cars outside the Zhuangmen and put them in place. When Zhuang Ding found out, they were ready for everything.

Looking at these three ugly cars, no one would think that they were just decorations. The people in Fanjiabao suddenly messed up and didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiao Tianjian stood in the open space outside the village from afar, pulled his voice and shouted to Fan Jiabao, "Fan Laocai listened! I have no grudge against you. I just ask you for the food in the village. If you have fun, open the door quickly and let us in. My surname is Xiao, I promise to only take food and not hurt your lives! I keep my word!

But if you are still reluctant, don't blame me for being rude! Once I pour it in, you will regret it! I'll kill all your chickens and dogs! Did you hear that?"

Xiao Tianjian's roar immediately spread to the wall of the village. Fan Laocai was so shocked that he almost didn't sit on the ground. He stopped his crutch and shouted, "What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this?" You all listened. I'm going to risk it today! You must resist these local thieves for me! As long as you fight back these poles, each of me will give you ten taels of silver! Did you hear that?"

Zhuang Ding was also frightened, but as soon as he heard that there was a reward of ten taels of silver, he was interested again. You know, ten taels of silver is not a small amount at this time, and it can't cost so much money to buy a young maid. This is put in a good New Year's scene, but it's enough for the family to spend a year to eat! So after listening to Fan Laocai's words, these people were as excited as a shot of chicken blood. They immediately rolled up their arms and rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "Don't worry, Fan! As long as you are willing to do it, we will dare to do it. We must not let them in! But you have to keep your word! We must be rewarded with enough money afterwards!"

At this time, Fan Laocai could not care about the money. It was worth spending hundreds of taels of silver to save his family property, so he swore that he would not owe these Zhuang Ding' reward money.

So Zhuang Ding and others rushed to fight against the bull one by one, and immediately began to load the loaded. The bow took the bow and put on the posture of fighting with the outside pole. A pot of boiling water below was immediately burned. As long as they could think of it and could do it, they took it out at this moment, and some people shouted, "No, it's just three. Throwing the car? We are not afraid of cannons. If we can be afraid of this thing, just be careful later! Let's see what they can do! Brothers, work harder! ......”

After Xiao Tianjian roared, he waited for a while, but there was no response in the village. Instead, he prepared livelyly and knew that the last threat still did not work, so he stopped waiting.

He turned his head and greeted the people behind him, "This Fan Laocai is going to die for money!" In this case, let's not be polite to him! According to my schedule, let's go! Pour in the big guy to drink and eat meat!"

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's order, these people who were beaten to the ground yesterday also cheered up and shouted in unison, "Kill!" They immediately copied the guys and rushed forward one after another.

This time, Xiao Tianjian divided the people into several groups. Zhao Er donkey temporarily led some of the knife and shields to continue to the front, carrying the big shield to provide cover for the three throwing cars. After all, this distance is already the effective killing distance between muskets and bows and arrows. No one is carrying the shield to cover in front of them. The person who operates the throwing car is basically following the live target. Zi is ordinary, and it is easy to be defeated by Zhuang Ding.

There is also a group of knife and shields led by Iron Head to prepare behind the team. Everyone holds a knife and a shield, and the whole body is tightly wrapped in clothes. It looks very strange. They have selected a total of 20 people, most of whom are old people under Xiao Tianjian. There are also a few newcomers who have just received it. They are basically fierce guys. They are a temporary commando. At the same time, they are also given two long ladders. These two long ladders. Last night, they temporarily asked the carpenter to make a bent hook with hardwood and hit the top of the long ladder. As long as they are on the wall, these hooks will immediately hook the village. At the top of the wall, it is not so easy for Zhuang Ding to push down the long ladder again. Unless they cut hard with a big axe, they can cut off such a hardwood hook. Originally, Xiao Tianjian wanted to make such a thing with iron, but if he didn't get together, he could only replace it with hardwood.

The rest of the people were divided into three groups. Each car was equipped with 25 or 26 people, and one person was left to serve as the commander. At the same time, he was also a gunner, who was responsible for observing the landing point of the things launched by the car.

One or two hundred people rushed to the open space outside Zhuangzi at the same time and surrounded the three throwing cars.

More than 20 people stood behind each throwing car and grabbed the ropes on the throwing car. This thing was called a cannon before the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was also used as a cannon on the battlefield. Later, Genghis Khan of Mongolia learned a new gun-making technique from the Western Regions and made a counterweight stone car, that is, a return cannon, so he It replaced this kind of cannon that relies on manpower to produce stones. Later, after entering the Ming Dynasty, the use of artillery became more and more widely, and this thing gradually faded out of the battlefield, so that few people thought of using this guy as a weapon to attack the city and pull out the fortress.

As long as more than 20 people use their strength in one place, they pull the rope together. This force is still quite large. The raised pole is enough to throw more than ten catties of stones dozens of steps away. It is still very useful to deal with such a small fortress.

With Xiao Tianjian's order, the three throwing cars immediately operated, and someone immediately placed a stone in the pocket bag sewn with coarse cloth at the front end of the throwing rod.

Then under the command of their respective gunners, those who pulled the rope immediately roared in unison and dragged the rope in their hands back, so the three throwing cars immediately raised the long throwing rods, and then saw three stones of more than ten catties flying out.

Zhuang Ding exclaimed and quickly stared at the three stones, running around the wall, avoiding the three stones falling from the sky, for fear of being accidentally hit by the stone.

However, their worries are superfluous. The first round of launch effect can be said to be extremely poor. Everyone has no experience and can't put the position to throw the car. As a result, only one of the three stones hit the wall. Before one stone flew to the wall, it fell to the ground, and the last one simply ran away. However, he flew out diagonally, and he didn't even touch the edge of the wall.

Such a result made Zhuang Ding suddenly breathe a sigh of relief and laughed in unison. They lay on the wall of Zhuang and laughed loudly at the poles outside. They relaxed a lot one by one. They said that this thing looked scary just now, but it really used it, but you! It's okay to scare people, but it's actually useless!

So the people in the village were much more stable. Some archers and musketeers began to open fire outside, trying to prevent the outside from continuing to threaten Zhuangzi with this rag.

However, the effect of Zhuang Ding's counterattack is also very poor. Most of the muskets and bows and arrows are fired on the big shield, so it does not pose any threat to the people outside. Instead, the sound of ping-pong is very lively.

Xiao Tianjian was naturally not satisfied with such accuracy, but he was not discouraged. He immediately let the three cars adjust the angle and prepare for launch again.
