Chapter 162: Casting stones to ask for directions
Three quarters past noon.
After receiving Xiao Yi's order, Li Fei quickly mobilized thirty elite soldiers to form a special team.
He personally watched them enter the minefield.
Some people recognized the words on the wooden sign at the edge of the minefield, so they knew it was a risky mission.
Their steps were slow and cautious, and each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
The entire team was so quiet that only the sounds of breathing and light footsteps could be heard.
Everyone's nerves are highly concentrated. They know that the slightest carelessness could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Inside Kunyang City.
Qin Rubing's jade bracelet began to vibrate violently, and at the same time, a reminder sounded in her ears:
"Someone has entered a minefield."
Qin Rubing immediately turned on the surveillance camera function, and the real scene of the minefield outside the city emerged in his mind.
A small group of Southern Army troops were cautiously moving forward in the minefield.
The minefield set up by Qin Rubing has a remote control device and is currently in a closed state, so it is safe for anyone to walk on it.
Qin Rubing came to the headquarters.
Wang Feng also received the notification and was about to send someone to invite her.
"Princess, some soldiers from the Southern Army have entered the minefield. What should we do?" Wang Feng said impatiently.
"Ignore them. They are just testing, not attacking."
Qin Rubing said lightly.
Wang Feng nodded, not quite understanding.
Wang Xing came over and asked, "Princess, when will the minefield be used?"
"Wait until they really come to attack the city before using it."
Wang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "Princess, why don't you scare them?"
Qin Rubing pondered for a moment and understood what Wang Xing meant.
"Ok."
Wang Xing was overjoyed, "Shall I go with you to have a look?"
Qin Rubing walked towards the city wall, and Wang Xing followed closely behind.
Qin Rubing climbed up the city wall and saw the thirty soldiers of the Southern Army wandering around not far below the city wall.
After walking around for a while, they didn't find anything unusual and prepared to go back to report.
Qin Rubing stared at them, watching them walk away step by step.
When they reached the wooden sign, Wang Xing couldn't help but say, "Princess, if we don't blow them up, they will be out of the minefield."
Qin Rubing smiled and said, "Let them go back."
Seeing those people walk out of the minefield and return to the barracks, Wang Xing asked in confusion:
"They've all gone back, so what are we watching?"
Qin Rubing said, "Wait a minute, wait for them to bring some goods over."
"What goods?"
Wang Xing was wondering when he saw more people coming from the Southern Army.
This time, it was not just infantrymen, but a group of people pushing siege rams and catapults who entered the minefield.
Qin Rubing looked carefully and saw that the battering ram was a giant siege vehicle, a main siege weapon that used the force of the collision to destroy city walls or gates.
A battering ram is a five-story siege tower with eight wheels.
The bottom layer is filled with soldiers who push the vehicle forward, and the other four layers are filled with soldiers fighting to attack the city.
There are ladders on each floor for going up and down. The vehicles can carry hundreds of warriors, equipped with weapons such as crossbows, poisonous arrows, spears, halberds, swords and spears, as well as equipment for destroying city wall facilities.
When attacking, the cart is pushed to the foot of the city, with the roof of the cart level with the city wall. Soldiers can rush to the city tower through the overpass, and tools such as battering rams can be used under the cart to destroy the city wall.
The sudden appearance of such a huge chariot often has a huge deterrent effect on the soldiers defending the city, thus disrupting their formation.
The battering ram can use its height to approach the city wall and directly attack the defenders on the wall.
In addition to being equipped with various long weapons, the vehicles were often also loaded with heavy weapons such as crossbows and stone cannons.
A catapult can use thick bamboo to throw stones out as a means of attacking a stronghold.
The car is usually equipped with a hinge that launches stones with a sound like thunder.
Wang Xing blinked and suddenly understood what Qin Rubing was trying to do.
He gave a thumbs up, "The princess is so awesome!"
