In ancient times, large-scale equipment such as scaling ladders were usually used to attack cities and seize land. However, such equipment often required human lives to fill up.
Lin Yi didn't want to sacrifice his brothers, so he didn't need to consider the ladder.
"Retreat!"
Lin Yi started thinking about how to break the city.
Huayin City was the last barrier to the east of Chang 'an. Therefore, the entire Huayin City was built very firmly. Its city walls were not made of rammed earth like ordinary cities, but made of giant bricks, which were extremely hard.
Ever since the founding of the Great Tang, Li Yuan and Li Shimin had rebuilt Huayin City, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Lin Yi wasn't someone to be trifled with. He had the system, so how could he be stopped by a city?
It would be great if he could bring the Italian cannon of the second battalion commander over and bombard the headquarters of Huayin City!
Just as the thought popped up in Lin Yi's mind, the system notification rang again.
"Detected that the host needs war machine x 1, fire attack x 1, divine weapon descending from the sky x 1."
"What's a war machine?" Lin Yi asked, startled. What was a fire attack? And what the hell was this Divine Weapon Descent?”
"This is the method that the system has carefully selected for the host to break the city.”
"Choose one?"
"Then what are you hesitating for?" Lin Yi smiled. Of course…I want them all!"
"All of them?"
"Doing this is a waste of points.”
"Only children make choices. Of course, I want all the adults! Moreover, if he didn't deal with a bastard like Zhangsun Chong properly, he would really be letting him down!”
"Beep! The war machine was ready, the fire attack method was ready, and the divine weapon was ready!”
Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at the system's power.
"Very good, very dirty and very violent!"
The so-called war machine was the ultimate boss of the cold weapon era, the only divine weapon that could conquer cities and seize territory-the Hui Hui Cannon!
The Hui Hui Cannon was also known as the Western Region Cannon. It was a catapult, not a cannon, but it was extremely powerful. It was an improved version of the ancient catapult, but its power was incomparable.
In history, the Hui Hui Cannon first appeared during the Song and Yuan Dynasties War.
In this famous war, the Yuan army used the Huihui Cannon to attack Fancheng and Xiangyang.
The main makers of the Hui Hui Cannon were Alvardin and Yismayin. Both of them were from the Western Regions (west of the Jade Gate Pass), Hui Hui (Muslim), so the cannons were called Western Region Cannons and Hui Hui Cannons. They were the pinnacle of the development of siege weapons in the cold weapon era, representing the terrifying firepower projection ability.
The Hui Hui Cannon weighed hundreds of kilograms. According to the records, its shooting range was 250 steps, which was about 391.25 meters, which far exceeded the width of the moat and trenches in Huayin City.
When the Mongolians attacked Xiangyang and Xiangfan, they could not take them down for a long time. Later, they invented the Huihui Cannon. Huge rocks weighing 150 kilograms were repeatedly thrown into the city, turning everything into powder wherever they went. To the defenders in the city, the sky had collapsed, and there was no hope of defending the city anymore. The city was in turmoil, and many of the generals jumped over the city to surrender.”In the end, Xiangyang was conquered and Lu Wenhuan surrendered. At this point, the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty was only a matter of time.
It was not that the Southern Song Dynasty did not have catapults, but compared to the Hui Hui cannons, be it in terms of power or range, they were inferior.
From then on, the Huihui Cannon became the nightmare of the Song army on the battlefield. Cities were conquered by the Huihui Cannon. From the Yangtze River to the Yashan Mountain in the South Sea, the Song army's superior navy was also destroyed by the Huihui Cannon. In the end, they were completely conquered like the countries in Asia and Europe... To put it bluntly, the Huihui Cannon was invincible. When one side had the advantage of having heavy artillery firepower on the battlefield, one would understand why when one thought about Napoleon in the future.
Looking at the huge thing in front of him, the war machine, the Huihui Cannon, Lin Yi was so touched that he drooled.
"System! Just like this, give me a battalion! No, I want a group!"
"Yes, sir!"
Next was the fire attack.
The fire attack technique given by the system was called the Apricot Sparrow Technique. To be precise, it was a fire attack technique invented by Li Jing, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty.
It was very simple. They tied white phosphorous and other flammable materials to the feet of the sparrows and released them. After the sparrows flew into the city, they would land under the eaves and on the straw. At this time, the white phosphorous and flammable materials on their feet would ignite and soon cause a fire.
This move was called the Sparrow Apricot Technique.
"F * ck! You can even play like this!"
Lin Yi was impressed-the wisdom of the ancient working people was really impressive, to think of this!
The most shocking thing was that this fire attack technique was stolen from Li Jing. Who knew what Li Jing would think after seeing it?
"Then what is the last Divine Weapon Descending from the Heavens?”
"Hot air balloon!"
"The hot air balloon specially made by the system can carry more than a few tons of weight and can fly at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.”
"Understood!"
Lin Yi finally understood what a war machine was. It was an army riding a hot air balloon, carrying all kinds of boulders and arrows to give the enemy a gift.
Some people might ask," Then wouldn't the enemy shoot a hot air balloon with a bow and arrow?
Then fly higher!
