Chapter 248
Everyone made a surprise plan
"We cannot climb their city, and those ladders are simply unstable. As long as people go up, they will definitely fall. There is a section outside their city wall that looks like this!"
When he learned that the city had failed, Ashlever was disappointed and was out of the range of the arrows of the Aden Fortress. He ordered people to capture some soldiers who retreated without authorization from the Aden Fortress. If he did not take out some heads, he was worried that the morale and discipline in his army would be gone.
But the news above forced him to change his mind and looked at the soldiers in front of him who were about to be beheaded with doubts, wondering whether they were talking nonsense here to survive.
"How is it possible? How could the walls of the Aden Fortress look like this!"
The finance minister who had been following him, who had already regarded himself as prime minister, appeared behind him. His eyes were looking at those people, and the things sprinkled from the city were red as if they were rabbits.
"Dear lord, I believe their words. The bandits in the city of Aden, they have strange things, and you remember I told you that when they attacked the fortress, they used something that would burn like fire but was much more intense than that. With its violent and loudness, everything would be pierced by its fragments, whether it was thick wood or iron armor, those that might be witchcraft from far away East Asia! If they had witchcraft, the shape of the wall would not be a problem!"
The little city lord Ashlever was right when he thought about it. If the other party had even such a strange and powerful weapon, it would not be surprising that there was anything strange about them.
"Okay, let's spare you all, go down and prepare, we will launch the next wave of attacks soon! I don't believe that the bandits in this Aden Fortress will have more witchcraft to use!"
The little city lord Ashleff made a ruthless heart and asked his subordinates to prepare. This time he must attack Aden City. For this reason, he needs to prepare the arrow tower and ladder truck, as well as other siege machinery destroyed by the flying swallow crossbows. But he wants the archer and the stone thrower in the two strongholds, and the giant crossbows to constantly suppress the Aden Fortress.
"Before the sun sets, I will attack the Fortress of Aden. No matter how many people die, whether they are killed by the enemy or by military rules! Now I need infantry attacks continuously, but before attacking, if you think about why those ladders are unstable, go and take a look!"
This made everyone feel scared, and they have begun to worry that they may not die in the hands of those in the Aden Fortress, or in the hands of the little Ashlever City Lord who has begun to be angry.
Not long after, he was still the old finance minister. After the suggestion of the two strongholds, he thought of a way to crack the unique "serrated wall" designed by Gong Zi.
"We add a flat wooden board at the top of the ladder and put it on two teeth. Or we might as well extend the ladder so that our first ladder can be hung on its teeth!"
It is impossible not to say that when a person is driven by interests, his brain will burst out with special amazing creativity. This creativity is often the solution to the problem. In order to imprison himself as the future prime minister, this old finance minister has done all his strength.
At the same time, while they were preparing for a new attack, there was no idle in the Aden Fortress.
"We only have one stone thrower left, and the others are destroyed!"
When Muke heard the report from his subordinates, his eyes turned black. As a suppression weapon, if he lost them, what should he do in the face of the subsequent attack?
When the stone thrower is present, the opponent will be concerned about the attack of these weapons. Especially when siege, you will not use an overly dense formation. However, when the stone thrower in the Aden Fortress is damaged and discovered by the enemy, then the attack will be the vast majority of the opponent's army.
Of course, they will be hit by bows and arrows, and they will lose a considerable number of people on the way forward. However, due to the number, the pressure on the city will increase greatly. Of course, this must also happen after the other party overcomes the "serrated wall" of Zhugong Zi.
Despite this, Muke was already worried. If the city walls were lost, the battle would not have to be fought again. Just as he was worried, Gong Zi sent someone to call him and asked him to return to the castle to discuss matters.
"Miss Gong, I want you to go back to the castle to discuss matters. In addition, they should be busy and repaired the stone thrower, and the crossbows should not stop suppressing the opponent's stronghold."
Muke grabbed the telescope and looked at the enemy's position in the distance. He did not find that they had any plans to attack, and then ordered his men.
"Call me if you have something to do, come when you go!"
But before he could reach Gong Zi's room, he heard lively sounds coming from the room.
"Hey, don't swear me anymore, I'll be angry!"
Gong Zi seems to have a special hobby for irritating Juliana. She uses her charming voice to force Juliana.
"It's okay if I don't criticize you, but I'll come to see you in the evening, why don't you go where I will?"
What are they doing? They are still playing here when this enemy is in front of them? Not only Muke is asking such a question in his heart, but even if he doesn't laugh, he feels that Gong Zi's "slut" is not the time to be released.
When Muke entered the room, he saw Gong Zi holding a bamboo with a small hole drilling at one end of the bamboo. He could only push the pole extending from the bamboo, but he could shoot a water arrow. Not only that, the distance to which the shooting was not close.
On the other hand, Juliana, who was her enemy, looked so embarrassed when she put her golden bangs on her head and looked on her forehead. Although she felt that Gong Zi's behavior seemed to be shaking, as the chief of staff, Gong Zi had a higher status than Muke, and he had no right to criticize her.
Gong Zi raised her eyes and saw Muke coming, and then she took the new toy in her hand and pointed at the sand table.
"Come here, I have something to tell you!"
In the sand table, Muke saw that Gong Zi had already made the model of the enemy's two attacking strongholds. Although due to the observation problem, what she did was just metaphysical.
"I ask you, did you leave some thunder for you when Fu Bo left as the last resort to defend? What I want to ask is whether the number is enough!"
Muke, who was unknown, just nodded without comment. You should know that the charge in "Shocking Thunder" is a fire-mulch. Although it is not big, it is much more powerful than ordinary gunpowder.
"See what!"
Gong Zi was not very satisfied with Muke's short answer. If he hadn't known that he was like this, he would have thought he was dissatisfied with him. "Okay, give me some thunder. I see that thing has great power. We put it into the stone bombs thrown by the other party. Then we still return it. I see that the thing is more powerful when it explodes. If we throw it with a stone thrower... But you should try a few first to see if it succeeds. If it succeeds, throw the bomb first and drive the person away. Then burn the place to ashes with the rain of fire!"
Muke understood, don't watch Gong Zi not fight. But he was not idle at all in the room of this tower. Not only did he observe the other party with a telescope, but he also came up with a countermeasure. Looking back now, the reason for the poor effect of using fire rain to attack the two strongholds is definitely as Gong Zi said, because the other party quickly extinguished, which caused huge casualties.
"There's another thing, I think they'll be able to figure out a way to crack the jagged wall soon. But as for me, I've prepared some new things for them!"
As he said that, Gong Zi picked up the water gun that had just long arms that had just shot Juliana in a mess.
"We have a lot of bamboo in our hometown, which are water guns used by the poor to put out fires."
As he said that, he immersed one end of the bamboo into the basin, pulled the piston behind him, and then raised it up and looked at Juliana with a smile and malicious intention. The latter, who had already suffered, immediately shook his hand to her to express his surrender.
"Okay, okay, come back..."
When he said this, his voice became lower and lower, and his face turned red like the red clouds in the evening. Seeing Julianna's compromise, Gong Zi smiled and pointed the bamboo tube in her hand at Muke. Then he pushed the piston in his hand forward, and a small water arrow immediately ejected on Muke's face.
This scared him, and he just stared at Gong Zi blankly, wondering what the use of this thing was. Could it be that the enemy soldiers under the city were squirting them? I'm afraid they were already running away and needed some of these things.
Muke's reaction made Gong Zi quite bored. He had to hide in such a thing, and it would be better to laugh so hard that it would be fun. Muke was about to be fun, so Gong Zi then threw the bamboo tube into Muke's hand.
"It doesn't matter if it is used to fill hot oil. But if it is tinder oil, put a torch in front and spray a fire out of it. If you dare to go to my sister's city, there are ways to cure them!"
As soon as Gong Zi said that, Muke knew that this thing was vicious. The tiny oil penetrated the torch and it was a deadly flame when it went out. The people under the city were climbing up from the ladder, and when they fell down, their backs would be burned to pieces. Not only that, the ladder would have to be burned into charcoal.
In fact, Dasong already had a hot oil cabinet at this time. Unfortunately, they were all bulky and not like this thing. They could only suck a cup of oil, but no matter what the cup of oil was, it would be enough to burn one person to death. In addition, this thing is too light and too simple.
Depending on the appearance, just remove the westernmost end of the bamboo, put it in the piston, and make small holes on the bamboo joints at the back, install a wooden wall in front, and bring a small cut-off pipe on the outside, and do the whole thing. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if there is no iron pipe, anyway, this thing is not worth it.
While thinking about it, Muke seemed to be trying it out, but with his hand, he pushed the piston mark hard, and a stream of water sprayed out and sprayed on the proud Gong Zi's face.
"you……"
Looking at the smile in Muke's eyes, Gong Zi felt resentful.
