Chapter 658

At this moment, a harsh creaking sound suddenly sounded. Wang Yang turned his head and saw that the horizontal column used by one of the heavy stone throwers to hang the balance hammer seemed to crack.

Wang Yang quickly stepped forward and shouted loudly, stopping the soldiers from trying to keep the cattle and horses pulling. After the cattle and horse slowly retreated and allowed the balance hammer loaded with tens of thousands of pounds to land smoothly, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

After climbing to the top of the base for a long time, he shook his head helplessly. "It seems that if this thing is not used, it will be impossible to hold on for a few times..."

"Sir, what should I do now?"

"What can I do? Of course I will replace this crossbar. If I hadn't stopped you in time, this stone thrower might have been destroyed." Wang Yang glared at the low-level officer who had just urged the soldiers to drive away and accumulate strength, intending to pull the balance hammer into the air regardless of the matter.

Soon, after dismantling the stone thrower, the thick crossbar was replaced by the craftsmen, and after careful inspection, re-reinforcement and filling butter into the groove, a new round of launch preparation began.

Looking at this long-range projectile weapon mainly made of wood, Wang Yang really wanted to put on his wings and fly back to Tokyo Bianliang, and devote himself to the gunpowder weapon workshop, directing the craftsmen to get the cannons out.

Unfortunately, now we can only think about it. Moreover, the Song Dynasty and the opposition are not very confidential. Under such circumstances, once the production of gunpowder weapons is leaked, it will be found by the Northern Liao, who also has a considerable number of skilled craftsmen.

Then in the future, if the Song Dynasty wants to conquer the Northern Liao Dynasty and recover the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it will be much more difficult. Therefore, at this stage, Wang Yang is also very clear that what he should do is to consider how to develop cold weapons to the extreme.

As for the research and development of firearms, it is safest to wait until I return to Tokyo Bianliang before implementing it.

Although the launch speed of the heavy stone thrower was extremely slow, with the joint efforts of four Yuanyou stone throwers, the three gates in the north, west, south and south of Wuyan Ancient City were completely destroyed at dusk.

It also caused the collapse of many sections of the city wall. Through telescope reconnaissance, it can be confirmed that the Xixia people were slowly retreating, and most of the troops were concentrated in the central and eastern part of the Wuyan ancient city.

There can be considered a safe area for the time being. The two crossbows that can almost reach the middle of the Wuyan ancient city, because the continuous shooting over the past few days has been damaged and have been maintained.

Although you can continue to fire the thunder, if you want to shoot stones weighing more than 20 kilograms, then forget it. I am afraid that you will not be able to shoot for a few rounds. These two crossbows that are about to reach their limit will be destroyed.

After seeing the power of the heavy stone thrower, the guy Zhe Keshi actually complained that Wang Yang only made four. "If you come in a few more, let alone the city gates and walls, I am afraid that the entire Wuyan ancient city would be turned into ruins."

"Do you think I don't want it? It's because the materials are insufficient. Do you know that the wood consumed by these four Yuanyou stone throwers can fill up fifty big trucks, and even a lot of poles of the camp tent were collected by me." Wang Yang glared at this guy. He was not a god, and these woods were finally collected.

If you have a few more units, you may have to fold the door panels of the houses in Hongzhou City and send them over. Otherwise, there would be no ready-made wood.

"Do we need to move the position forward by night?"

"This is not necessary. The night is not a cover for us. Instead, it is very likely to give those Xixia people a chance to launch an attack when we move our positions. It is better to slowly advance towards the Wuyan Ancient City tomorrow morning."

"As for the mission of the four stone throwers today, we are trying every means to smash the city walls on the east, so that the Xixia people cannot attack us with the advantage of geographical advantages."

"This is a solution, but then again, in the future, I will be bound to capture cities and land in the Great Song Dynasty, this thing will inevitably be left." Zhe Keshi smiled with a red face.

Before, he watched tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers guarding the ancient city of Wuyan so calmly, and then calmly withdrawing troops through the Wuding River. He felt as uncomfortable as a cat to catch him.

However, the Xixia people were able to defend themselves with the support of the Wuyan Ancient City, and Wang Yang kept assuring it, they would invent an excellent long-range weapon that could give the Song Dynasty a full advantage and be able to capture cities and land for the Song Dynasty beyond the range of the other party's bow and arrow.

Zhe Keshi then resisted the urge to attack Wuyan Ancient City. Now, Wang Yang did not make any mistakes. He used his usual superb invention level to make Zhe Keshi understand that as long as this guy can speak, he can definitely do his skills.

Even in the middle of the night, the Song people's stone throwing machines were still raking, and huge rocks fell to the ancient city of Wuyan, smashing the remaining city walls into pieces and collapsed.

The nearly 40,000 Xixia soldiers in the city no longer had the courage they had before, and the soldiers seemed to be in their throats at this moment.

Fei Tingdarong, when he learned that the Song army was crazy and kept shooting destructively at the city walls in the west, he finally had to send the defenders in the west to retreat a hundred steps behind the city walls, so as not to be smashed into meat pies by the huge rocks so unknown.

By the early morning of the next day, Fei Tingdarong came to the West City with a pair of dark circles that were even worse than the previous day. In the distance, not only the city wall, but also many buildings in the city had collapsed at this moment. The entire western part of the Wuyan Ancient City was close to the city wall, and it almost completely turned into a ruin.

Moreover, because the huge rocks thrown by the powerful stone thrower of the Song State not only smashed the west into ruins, but also completely blocked the three main roads.

Even if the Western Xia warriors want to overcome obstacles and attack the Song army, they must first travel nearly ten feet apart in the ruins. Moreover, they must not only pay attention to those unlucky houses, but also carefully avoid the pits formed after the huge rocks fell and fall into three feet underground.

In other words, the west area of ​​the city has become a stage for infantry fighting. As for cavalry, besides hehe, the elegant four-legged animals can't overcome the obstacles that make flexible humans also have a headache.
