Chapter 727 Mechanism Beast
Outside Xingyang City, the armies of the princes were lined up in layers.
Zhao Shuang stood on the city wall. Today, the armies of the princes gathered together. Among them, a general riding a black horse was particularly conspicuous.
He is very young, at least compared to the surrounding high-ranking princes and armies, he is very young and very heroic.
Xiang Shaoyu rode out, looked at the city wall, and looked at Zhao Shuang.
Zhao Shuang looked back and asked.
"How about the corridor?"
"Prime Minister, don't worry. The princes' armies attacked the corridor several times and were repelled. Aocang's grain can be imported into the city without any problem."
Xiang Shaoyu raised the Flame God Spear and shouted loudly.
"Siege the city!"
Following this order, the army separated, and six Poto Saburos came out step by step from the array.
Amid the majesty of the city, the giant bronze beast made clever changes and rushed in front of the army, heading towards the city.
Gongshu Xiu squatted in the corner of the city tower nearby, listening to the movement and murmuring.
"Interesting, does the old man Gongshu still have so much inventory?"
The army is moving together, the giant beasts are galloping, and accompanied by stone throwing and fire, the scene is like the end of the world.
Xingyang is a fortified city, but it is located in a plain area after all.
The large army can exert its greatest advantage in this area.
When Zhao Shuang saw this, he was not touched at all and spoke to Gong Shuxiu on the side.
"Play with them first."
Gongshu Xiu suddenly became interested. He was squatting on the ground and immediately stood up.
"Well! Gongshuqiu and these crappy things should have been eliminated long ago."
Zhao Shuang turned around and left, and Gong Shuxiu took over the defense. He took out a special horn from the bag, put it to his mouth and blew.
A deep voice resounded through the city gate. At the originally silent city gate, disciples of Gongshujia flew more than a thousand three-foot bat wings out of the city gate, blocking out the sky and the sun.
This sight immediately stunned the menacing armies of the princes.
More than a thousand three-foot-long bat wings flew towards the heads of the princes' troops. The princes' troops wanted to release arrows, but the height of the arrows was not high enough and they fell one after another before they could reach them.
Only giant crossbows have such a range. Unfortunately, the princes' army wanted to mobilize them temporarily, but it was too late.
The special mechanism on the wings of the three-foot bat was activated, and the small black altar it carried fell down. Small black dots fell from the sky one after another, fell into the array of princes' armies, and exploded.
The fragments exploded, flames filled the air, and lines of fire disrupted the array of the princes' armies.
…
The flames of war filled the air, but in Xingyang City, Zhao Shuang's shogunate was unusually quiet.
When Zhao Shuang came back, a group of staff were gathering together. Seeing him coming, they all separated again, as if they were discussing something just now.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Zhang Liang walked out of the crowd and asked.
"The State of Chu has won over Gongshu Qiu and brought many siege weapons, but we have been prepared in advance, so we will be fine for the time being."
"Is there any news from anywhere?"
Zhao Shuang's question silenced everyone again, and finally, Zhang Liang came out.
"Your Majesty, there is information from Guanzhong."
"explain!"
"Our army put down the rebellion in Guanzhong, but when they were rescuing the emperor, Zhao Gao and others jumped over the wall in a hurry, and even risked the disapproval of the world and killed the emperor."
Zhang Liang's voice was very heavy, and just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Shuang in front of him fainting as if he couldn't hold it together in one breath.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Send the message to the doctor quickly!"
For a moment, a group of staff gathered around him.
…
The sky is getting dark, the light of dusk shines, and the battlefield is in ruins.
After a day's attack, when the princes' troops withdrew, both generals and soldiers were more or less covered in blood and mud.
There was no end in sight of the military tents in the garrison camp. At this time, the army returned to the camp.
The main account of the Chinese army.
"I didn't expect the empire's defense equipment to be so powerful!"
In the first day's attack, the princes' army suffered heavy losses. The imperial army's attack was not an attack from one direction, but an all-round and three-dimensional attack, with no distinction between front and back formations.
"Gong Shuqiu, I heard that you were the first to develop these three-foot bat wings. Why didn't you explain to us how powerful they are earlier?"
After suffering a loss, all the generals were holding back their anger and vented their anger on Gong Shuqiu.
"The three-foot bat wings were indeed the first ones I made, but the original purpose was to compete with the Mo family's Suzaku machine. It was more to detect the situation than to attack."
Gong Shuqiu explained, although not many people present knew the art of mechanism.
"The flying height of the three-foot bat wing is limited, and it cannot move in the army array."
"Then why is this machine beast so powerful today that it can't be hurt by arrows?"
"It should be Gongshu Xiu who improved it..."
At this point, Gong Shuqiu's expression changed and he shouted.
"Oops!"
Fan Zeng looked at Gong Shuqiu and asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Gongshu, what's wrong?"
"If that evil barrier can improve the three-foot bat wing, then what about the Mo family's mechanism Suzaku?"
Fan Zeng's expression changed drastically. Xiang has a close relationship with Ji Wanggu, so he naturally knows what the secret agency Suzaku is?
You must know that the three-foot bat wings made by Gongshujia are inferior to the mechanical Suzaku in terms of flight height and range. They are better in flexibility and quantity. They can be used in various scenes, taking into account military intelligence and patrolling in the city.
But if the three-foot-long bat wings can be transformed, what about the mechanical Suzaku?
Once the mechanism Suzaku is equipped with the altar of black fire that fell in today's army formation, it flies around to the rear...
Fan Zeng thought of this, and a sense of urgency surged onto his face.
"Zhong Lihuan, quickly mobilize the giant crossbows and deploy them at the rear grain village!"
Zhong Lihuan took the order, but when he was about to leave, a Chu army general with a charred face broke in from outside.
"General, the Mohist organization Suzaku attacked our army's food and grass camp and burned half of our army's food and grass."
Xiang Shaoyu's face turned purple, his voice was trembling with anger, and he waved his hand.
"Pull it down and deal with it under military law."
Amidst the wailing, the military tent was filled with solemnity. Everyone said nothing, feeling a threat in their hearts. This threat comes from the fear of the unfamiliar.
In this silence, Fan Zeng looked at Gong Shuqiu.
"Mr. Gongshu, do you have a way to deal with the imperial army's machine beast?"
"Gongshu can mobilize three hundred three-foot bat wings from the rear, but it will take time to make more."
"Then transfer these three hundred planes first."
Xiang Shaoyu kept silent, and Fan Zeng made up his mind.
"At this moment, our army still has a strength advantage. As long as the grain transport corridor between Xingyang City and Aocang is cut off, the Yulin Army in Xingyang City will not be able to hold on for long."
Fan Zeng asserted and then issued the order.
"The enemy's trap beasts are powerful. Before the loser's trap beasts are sent, the generals must be careful to take precautions. The enemy will not only attack our army's food and grass, but will also harass our army's strongholds."
After a pause, Fan Zeng glanced at the demoralized crowd.
"The latest news is that King Tian Rong of Qi, who has just succeeded to the throne, has agreed to join the coalition. At the end of the day, our army of 400,000 will have an absolute advantage against the 100,000 Yulin."
As soon as this news came out, the morale of the army was restored.
"As you command!"
