Chapter 796: Why Not Try
The power of Zhentianlei is a lot worse, the distance of the bombing vehicle is also a lot worse than that of Chu State, and there is no telescope that can locate the prairie wolf in advance and the artillery with a larger mass destruction. The research of the firecracker is basically the same. at zero.
It can be said that if such a simple firearm is used against Chu, it will definitely fail miserably, and it will be terrible.
But it's definitely enough to deal with these wolf cubs in the grassland!
Leaving aside the level of damage, the explosion, which was comparable to a thunder, probably shocked many horses in the grassland.
Su Zhong stood on the tower and watched from a distance. These wolf cubs would come to attack the city almost every few days, and they just huddled inside the pass, which really made him aggrieved. Originally, he wanted to lead the crowd out , Killed the grassland to the ground, but there is no certainty of victory. But it was different now, he, Su Zhong, could finally lead the army to fight back!
The national teacher standing next to Su Zhong looked at Su Zhong and said: "Since the day of counterattack has come, I should go back. This battle must be fought with the prestige of our Zhou Kingdom!"
Su Zhong cupped fist and said: "Please rest assured, the national teacher, at the end of this war, we will go all out to show our country's prestige!"
The national teacher continued to speak: "The state of Chu has now absorbed the tribes of the grassland, intending to completely conquer the grassland and make the grassland a part of our Central Plains. If it is the territory of the country, then from now on, our country of Zhou will really be attacked by the enemy."
Su Zhong said solemnly; "The general understands."
In the past, even if the grasslands could be conquered in the Central Plains, they would withdraw to the pass, because the grasslands were really not suitable for their life in the Central Plains. Otherwise, why did all the people in the grasslands want to occupy the Central Plains?
But this time it won’t work. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time Chu State is not trying to defeat the grassland, but has the tendency to completely conquer the grassland. If after this battle, all the south of the grassland belongs to Chu State, then Zhou State’s position will be dangerous. up.
Although Chu State helped Zhou State a lot this time, but the brothers still have to settle their accounts clearly. Naturally, they have to guard against what they should, even if they can't prevent it at all.
The state of Zhou was oppressed by the state of Chu for sixty years, and the experience of using it was also suppressed.
The experience they have gained is - copying homework.
Just like the firearms this time, how to occupy the grasslands that normal people in the Central Plains would not want to go will naturally have to copy Chu's homework.
They will do what Chu State does, isn't it just to win over tribal civilians?
They pull too!
But before pulling, we have to wipe out the annoying prairie army outside!
As soon as Zhou Guo's firearms arrived, military craftsmen had already started to build catapults, but instead of throwing stones, they threw thunder and kerosene.
This time Zhou Guo sent a large number of people to build the catapult, and it took a full seven days to build it and push it up the tower.
seventh day
Among handsome tents
The fourth prince looked at the third prince and said, "Third brother, Zhou Guo's counterattack seems to be getting weaker and weaker these days."
The third prince nodded and said, "How can our wolves on the grassland be so easy to resist, even if it is a feint attack, they are still unstoppable!"
The fourth prince said with a smile; "Earlier, I heard that the state of Zhou is useless and has suffered many defeats at the hands of the state of Chu. I never thought it would be so vulnerable. Look at these days, I have been huddled inside the city gates, and even went out to fight against the enemy. Don’t even dare, it’s really unbearable!”
The third prince looked at the fourth prince and asked, "What do you think?"
The fourth prince said, "Now that Zhou's counterattack is getting weaker and weaker, it must be because of our grassland's successive attacks on the city, which frightened them. If we can lead our troops to take down Zhou's first pass in one fell swoop, father Khan will be delighted when he finds out! When the time comes, my third brother and I will have a great time on the grassland!"
The third prince said with a smile: "It makes sense, if we can take down the pass of the Zhou Kingdom, our grassland will surely dominate the world, but we disobeyed the order privately, if Father Khan traces it down..."
The fourth prince smiled and said, "If we can conquer the border, even if Father Khan traces it down, it will be a great achievement for us! Third brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The third prince asked, "Are there enough siege equipment?"
The fourth prince said, "Siege equipment is the most built these days. Let alone one city, three cities are enough!"
Hearing this, the third prince finally knocked on the table and said, "Okay! Done! Starting today, our grassland will no longer feign attacks. Within seven days, we will definitely defeat Zhou Guo and take down the pass that Zhou Guo blocked our grassland!"
The fourth prince immediately laughed when he heard this: "Third brother is wise!"
...
To say that the grassland is going smoothly these days, even if it is a feint attack, it almost hits under the city wall of the pass, Zhou Guo's resistance becomes weaker and weaker, and even when they attack near the city wall, they can vaguely see the city wall Many military doctors are treating the wounded and bandaging their chests and brains.
It is not difficult to imagine that these wounded must be the soldiers of Zhou State who were shot and injured when they feinted and shot arrows again and again.
Moreover, many of the soldiers of Zhou State who participated in the patrol of the pass were all wounded, and they could clearly see it from under the city wall of the pass!
Since their feint attack can achieve such an effect, why do they feint attack?
Maybe they can take down this already scarred pass in one go!
Take a step back and talk, even if Zhou Guo really has an ambush, so what?
How much can they achieve by hiding in the city?
Even if they find that the momentum is wrong, they simply retreat.
It can be said that if their guess is true, they will earn blood; if they are fooled, they will not lose much.
So the three princes and the four princes combined together, this is the case!
Since it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money, why not give it a try?
...
Above the city tower, Su Zhong watched the denser and denser figures approaching the city defense under the city gate, with a smile on his face. After acting for so long, they were finally fooled.
If there is no firearm, it is useless to be fooled on the grassland. They can retreat at any time. After all, the range of the bow and arrow is only 150 steps. Although the range of the city defense crossbow is longer and more powerful, it is not a range of damage after all, and it is also quite troublesome to load. , After two or three rounds of shooting plus loading time, the enemy army should rush to the city wall, prepare wood, rolling stones and gold juice, and think about how to defend the city.
But firearms are different, they can be used for long-distance combat or close combat.
If the enemy is far away, use the catapult to throw it far away. Even if the enemy rushes to the bottom of the city, you can directly ignite it and throw it down manually. The broken iron pieces stimulated can penetrate even ordinary armor!
Although Zhou Guo's siege of Tianlei is not yet ready, but the defense of the city is miraculous!
The only thing that the grassland missed was that their opponents already had firearms!
