Chapter 67 Super Thunderbolt
Car
Do it as soon as you say it.
According to Sun Bin's instructions, the third row of the bamboo gun team equipped with battle axes was dispatched, half of whom were responsible for logging wood, half were responsible for collecting hemp, gurney and other objects, and the rest were on standby to prevent robbers from leaving the gate and raiding.
Since the required materials are very common, some of them are prepared in the mountains by noon.
Sun Bin did not delay, and asked everyone to eat some dry food and then started to do it.
Among the young and strong, more than a dozen carpenters began to use swords and axes to cut off the bark, and began to make parts according to the size and shape drawn by Sun Bin.
More than ten people with weaving skills began to process the cut hemp, kudzu and vines, and rolled them into a rope.
The rest of the people are still responsible for the alert.
For a moment, the Guqian was busy, which made the Thunderbolt, who had been guarding the wall with caution, very confused.
What the hell are these mud legs doing? Create siege equipment?
A bit like.
However, the slope before the level is so large that it is difficult to push up the larger siege equipment.
Of course, even if these mud legs can be pushed, they are not afraid.
When going uphill, large siege equipment not only moves slowly, but also has a very unstable center of gravity. Just close it and throw a little rolling wood and hit the stone, and you can easily knock it over, and you can't get close to the wall.
If the other party made a simple ladder or something, it would be easier, and it would be just a death sentence when you come up.
So, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Hmph, let them do it. I'll go down and rest for a while, and report it to me if there is any abnormal movement." After reading for a long time, the thief lost patience. He ordered the bandits and went back to the valley to rest.
Time passed gradually, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
Under the golden afterglow of the setting sun, three strange-shaped giants already stood in front of Sun Bin and others:
The rectangular chassis is more than two meters wide and nearly five meters long.
There is a cross beam at the middle front of the chassis, and a large stone is tied to the cross beam as a counterweight.
In the middle of the chassis, there is a thick horizontal rope composed of hundreds of hemp and kudzu. At both ends of the horizontal rope, there is a long twisting rod.
And in the middle of the cross rope, a strong long pole about three meters long was twisted.
At the middle and rear of the long pole, a rope is tied, and at the end of the rope is wrapped around a thinner beam at the back of the base frame.
And at both ends of this thinner beam, there is a pressing rod.
At the end of the long pole, there is a net bag made of rattan, which is about the same size as the Nets.
Such strange siege equipment, let alone the young and strong in Fenglin Town, even the knowledgeable Momen swordsman is unheard of.
What's even more amazing is that this kind of siege equipment is so simple that it is outrageous.
The entire structure does not use any metal material, just a simple mortise and tenon of wood, and then some hemp, kudzu, vine and so on.
It is true that it is said that it is made from local materials and can be made on the ground.
"Junior brother," Pang Juan glanced at the ground curiously, but the next one was still unaware of the point, and said with a confused look on his face: "What the hell is this?"
In the "Caval Cave" in Guigu, there are many classics that record various siege and defend the city equipment. Pang Juan has always been hard-working in his studies and is almost fully aware of it, but he has no impression of what is in front of him.
Bai Gui learned how to govern the country and business, so he was even more confused.
Only Han Wu went forward and looked at the horizontal rope, then looked at the long pole and net bag, and a smile appeared on his face as if he had some insight.
Sun Bin smiled and said, "Brother Han, you seem to be able to see something?"
"Not bad." After all, he is a disciple of the Mo Sect. He has seen many wonderful mechanisms. Han Feng's comprehension is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He exclaimed: "If I expected it is good, this thing should be driven by the powerful twisting of the rope to launch the things in the net pocket, right? What a exquisite design!"
"Not bad." Sun Bin exclaimed: "Brother Han has a great vision. I call this thing a trencher, or a stone cannon or a thunderbolt chariot!"
The catapult was invented in the middle and late Warring States period and was not yet born at this time, so of course no one knew it. There were many types of catapults in ancient times, and Sun Bin made it one of them - the torsional catapult.
Although this kind of trencher is extremely simple to manufacture, it is not very powerful. Sun Bin saw pictures online in his previous life and remembered them in his heart.
However, this kind of catapult also has its weakness, that is, it cannot last.
Because it takes less than a day or two, the twisting force of the horizontal cable will gradually be lost, and the entire catapult will be invalidated.
Therefore, this kind of trench machine is more of a disposable product and has a low efficiency ratio.
Of course, Sun Bin probably only used this time, so this weakness doesn't matter to him at all.
"Take machine?" Pang Juan said excitedly, "I understand. Do you want to use it to shoot stones to smash the wall? It's great, try it quickly and see how powerful it is."
"Okay." Sun Bin quickly asked someone to find a stone, as long as it can be filled into a net bag.
There may be a lot of things missing in the mountain, but the stones are the least lacking. In a short while, stones of all sizes were sent back, and hundreds of them were piled up in a blink of an eye.
"Okay." Sun Bin issued an order: "Erhu, bring ten people here, I will teach you how to do it."
"Okay." Erhu was overjoyed and quickly greeted the ten people in the first row and came forward to listen.
Immediately, under the command of Sun Bin, ten people stood on both sides of a stone-capping machine, and began to shake the twisting rods to slowly twist the thick cross ropes.
The long pole twisted in the middle of the cross cable slowly gained a strong rebound force, but it was tightly bound by the rope tied to the back of it and stuck to the bottom frame, like a trapped tiger in a cage, waiting anxiously for the moment of outbreak.
Finally, the horizontal rope collapsed very tightly, and when it could no longer be twisted, Sun Bin ordered the crimping rod to lock it.
Immediately, Sun Bin took a stone bullet of about four or five kilograms and put it in his net pocket.
Although he could build this torque trench, he knew nothing about its power and range.
Therefore, we must explore through test shooting.
After putting down the stone bullet, Sun Bin called Erhu and another young man, and ordered: "You two, we will pull the pressing rod together later, so that the stone bullet will be shot out. Remember: the movements must be consistent, and let go quickly, otherwise, the pressing rod will reverse violently, which may hurt you. Do you understand?"
"I understand." The two nodded.
"Let's start."
Sun Bin asked everyone to move aside. After all, it was the first time to release it, so as not to cause any accidents and hurt people.
On both sides of the pressing rod, Erhu and his men looked at each other and began to count: "One, two, three!" As soon as they finished speaking, they pulled the pressing rod at the same time and quickly released.
Chapter completed!
