Chapter 697： Luban catapult [fifth more]

All the troops in Xiyi City added up to 2.1 million, of which there were only more than 800,000 elite soldiers, and the rest were newly recruited recruits.

Although he had been trained, he was not a good soldier.

Now Meng Tian is using all these recruits as the Chinese army.

Because in his plan, the most important thing is not the Chinese army, but the army of three people: Yuchigong, Hansen, Qinqiong.

As long as they complete the task, the battle will be won, and the role of the Chinese army under his command is more oppression by the army than fighting.

Meng Tian had just acted on the side of Xiyi City, and Rong Shiyun, who was in charge of the severance, got the news the first time.

"Meng Tian's speed is so fast!"

Rong Shiyun's face was solemn.

Regarding Meng Tian's ability, he would not doubt it, because it was because Meng Tian was guarding Xiyi City, Fan Haosheng ordered the army to attack the city several times, and he was beaten back before the city wall was even close.

Not to mention that Meng Tian was still the leader of the Ziyang Kingdom before, and his ability was beyond doubt.

Now facing the full-scale attack by Meng Tian's army, even if Rong Shiyun's subordinates are basically good soldiers, he can't feel the slightest ease.

"Pass the order, let the generals rely on the barracks, defend the barracks, and buy time for the army to retreat!"

"At the same time, send someone to pass the news to General Fan so that he can arrange for the army to assist me, otherwise I can't stop the enemy for long." Rong Shiyun ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

His guard immediately went down to pass the order.

After Fan Haosheng got the news, his expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that his army would attack Meng Tian as soon as he moved, and he would not give himself extra time to retreat.

But at Rong Shiyun's request, he pondered a little, shook his head and said: "Give Rong Shiyun the order, the army has already begun to retreat, and there is no more people to give him."

"Order him to block Meng Tian's army, dare to give up the position and engage in military law!"

Soon, the soldiers who had specially sent the order passed Fan Haosheng's order to Rong Shiyun.

When Rong Shiyun heard this, he was furious and cursed: "Fan Haosheng, you **** who kills a thousand knives, you are going to kill my six hundred thousand sons!"

Meng Tian's army is coming, and you don't need to think too much to know that the enemy army must have come with the determination to break the enemy, and his 600,000 army will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

However, Fan Haosheng's order came down, and Rong Shiyun did not have the right to refuse. He could only curse twice before passing the order to his generals to let them do their defensive work.

He also went down and rushed to the camp.

Facing the offensive of Meng Tian's millions of troops, he did not dare to be careless.

Meng Tian brought more than one million troops to the camp of Rong Shiyun.

"Meng Tian, ​​the army of my Bailan Kingdom has not attacked your Xiyi City, so you dare to send troops to attack my camp, it's just looking for death!"

On the camp, Rong Shiyun shouted angrily at Meng Tian below.

Meng Tian looked at it and smiled: "The city of Bailan, the capital of your Bailan Kingdom, has been captured by my Emperor of the Nanyan Kingdom. Why don't I dare to fight against your small camp?"

"Come on, prepare to attack the city!"

Under Meng Tian's order, a group of tall and strong soldiers pushed out a hundred huge wooden boxes and stood in front of the army.

These soldiers pressed down on the huge wooden box, and the wooden box soon changed and became a catapult more than ten meters high.

The lower formation pattern is engraved on the car body, and the spirit stone is used as the power on it, and huge stones are launched for siege.

Over a thousand years ago on the mainland of Kyushu, the catapult was still used as a siege, but it was abandoned later.

The reason is very simple. The catapult is heavy and moves very slowly. In addition, the speed of reloading is very slow. After a round, it will be unusable for a period of time.

During this period of time, it was enough for the enemy to shoot several rounds with a bed crossbow.

In addition, the stones thrown by the catapult were easily blocked by the warriors, which caused the catapult to be gradually abandoned.

Up to now, the two armies are fighting, whether it is a plain battle or a siege battle, basically they will not use catapults. Most of them are crossbows, which are more powerful and faster to reload.

But the catapults that Meng Tian has launched at the moment have been improved by Lu Ban.

He uses formations to bless and fill the spirit stones. At the same time, the catapult can't be used by just finding a stone as before. It uses special stones.

These stones can use the formation method to pour the spiritual energy in the spirit stone into it, and then be thrown out by the catapult. With the blessing of the formation method, it is difficult for the martial artist to resist.

And if the thrown stone is stimulated by the true energy, it will directly detonate the spiritual energy inside, which is powerful.

In addition, Lu Ban made changes to the catapult by using mechanical techniques, and it was no longer as heavy and difficult to move as before.

The catapult in Lu Feng's army now turns into a mechanism box when it is not in use. Although it is still very large, it moves a little faster than the previous catapult on the Kyushu mainland.

This is also one of Meng Tian's confidence to break through the enemy's barracks this time.

"This is a catapult?"

Rong Shiyun in the camp frowned when he saw it.

He has seen the drawings and records of the catapult in the military classics. Many years ago, it was used in military operations, and it became the three major weapons of the military.

But later, as the bed crossbow was improved by some craftsmen, the catapult was completely abandoned, and the three great weapons became two great weapons.

"Meng Tian, ​​Meng Tian, ​​I thought you had any means to attack the city, but I didn't expect it to be a catapult!"

With a sneer, Rong Shiyun waved his hand, and suddenly a group of warriors in the army came out and took precautions. When the catapult came out, he immediately fought back.

"put!"

With an order from Meng Tian, ​​the formation of one hundred catapults was activated, and stones the size of a millstone were thrown out.

"I said how Meng Tian dared to use a catapult to attack the city. It turned out to be a catapult capable of continuous shooting!"

"This craftsman from the Nanyan Kingdom is really capable!"

"But what if you have some skill?"

Rong Shiyun's face was cold, and said: "Under the martial artist's block, the catapult is waste!"

When the stones were halfway flying, Rong Shiyun immediately waved his hand, and the warrior who had been prepared for a long time immediately flew out, with true energy in his hand, and hit the stones.

They all used their full strength, ready to break the stone, so that the enemy could see how powerful they were.

But when they touched the stones with their fists with real energy, they suddenly felt a strange wave inside the stones.

Before they could react with a ‘boom’, the stone exploded, and a violent energy directly hit the bodies of these warriors.

"puff!"

These warriors were immediately beaten up, and those with weak strength were directly killed.

For a time, only the explosion of'Boom Boom' was heard.

Under everyone's attention, those menacing warriors either flew upside down and crashed into the camp, or they were dead.
