Chapter 219: Chapter 219

He immediately turned his head to look and saw several Dazi crushed into meat patties by this giant boulder.

He pressed his lips together, Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow.

"If it weren’t for my boulder, you’d already be dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, Commander Qian said nothing more.

Not that he was genuinely grateful to Pei Shu’er, but speaking out wouldn’t give him any advantage.

Pei Shu’er had thought earlier that if she accidentally killed Commander Qian, she could claim it was a mistake.

But evidently, the accuracy of this catapult was quite good.

It just required calculating the angle and counterweight to maximize the aim of the catapult.

Pei Shu’er’s expression was cold as she patted Commander Qian’s shoulder.

"This life-saving comes at a cost of 20 taels of silver, remember to pay."

But right now, only this catapult was calibrated, there were still another fourteen.

Pei Shu’er said, "Everyone, transport this catapult to the city wall, the rest of you come with me to continue calibrating the catapults."

When this catapult reached the new city wall, several catapults from the Gulan Military Camp were already there.

But compared to this one, they were much smaller.

Just this bulky, unsightly thing didn’t seem particularly impressive.

The Dazi didn’t focus on it.

The soldiers were also full of melancholy.

And now, because the newly built city wall had many places already breached, it was still better than the earth wall.

This loss was within everyone’s acceptable range.

A soldier had a large boulder lifted, mounted it on the catapult, and then released the hook.

The catapult emitted a swoosh sound, then just like that, it was hurled at the Dazi Army.

This time, raising a huge dust cloud, several Dazi were crushed to death.

During the next few attacks, the enemy’s catapult also noticed this one.

They attacked this catapult, but the enemy’s catapult was below, merely able to hit the city wall.

Or hit other catapults.

And that catapult remained unaffected.

Its firepower still strong, continuously targeting the enemy’s catapult.

But the soldier’s aim was quite limited, only grazing the Dazi’s catapult, not destroying it.

Just , however, as the number of projectiles increased, the Dazi’s catapult was ultimately destroyed by the new-style catapult.

Then another one of the Dazi’s catapults was crushed.

The Dazi only had over twenty catapults, losing two in an instant; this speed of loss immediately drew the commanding officer’s attention.

At this moment, the Dazi commander arrived in front of a sedan chair, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

"Think Tank, there’s a particularly formidable catapult on the city wall now, our catapults lack precision; what can we do to bring it down?"

Coughing was heard from inside, lasted about ten seconds before stopping.

A pale, slender hand slowly lifted the curtain.

"Concentrate fire, raise the base height, and have archers interfere."

After speaking, the curtain was slowly lowered again.

The Dazi walked to the catapult and waved at everyone.

"Replace the base with a higher one, concentrate fire, prepare the archers."

Due to the intense fire concentration, the catapult’s base was smashed, and the lever was also damaged, having to be pushed into a turret.

Now, there were only five or six catapults on the wall.

And the battle below between Dazi and soldiers continued, with most of the casualties being from the Gulan Military Camp.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er had calibrated all fourteen catapults, and was pushing them alongside the soldiers.

Pei Shu’er saw those soldiers engaging with Dazi.

Pei Shu’er had a headache; it’s obvious they couldn’t win, so why continue fighting? Find the newest release on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Pei Shu’er looked at the vanguard who charged forward this time; this commander was brave but reckless, very combative, it was no wonder the vanguard suffered so many losses.

Pei Shu’er looked at General Zhao.

"General, the catapults are ready, you can have the soldiers withdraw."

General Zhao said nothing, Yan Huan Yu had a face full of reluctance, his eyes filled with pain.

"Sister, the city gate’s been battered by the Dazi’s ram, we have no choice but to fight."

Pei Shu’er’s eyes turned cold; no wonder so many Dazi had rushed in.

And it was the gate position supervised by Commander Qian.

He had insisted on occupying the gate position while sick to take credit, wanting to make the most impressive gate and win back a point in front of General Zhao.

Pei Shu’er said, "Get two catapults to the gate, and don’t leave the gate, stay at the inner gate, aim those catapults at them."

Pei Shu’er wanted to command other soldiers but if she did, she’d be overstepping.

Now she could only command these catapults.

When the catapults arrived at the gate, Pei Shu’er began adjusting the direction.

And those Dazi were already running toward her, wielding blades.

Other soldiers were anxious; if they didn’t fire soon, the Dazi might cut everyone’s faces up.

A giant boulder was launched.

The aim was precise, hitting the frontmost Dazi perfectly.

At the same time, it blocked others for a moment.

But there were still some who slipped through the net.

Tang Zan said, "Archers ready, shoot those escapees."

If shooting couldn’t kill them, Tang Zan would lead some skilled fighters to finish them off.

As the couple joined forces against the Dazi, those people were finally completely dealt with.

Pei Shu’er finished adjusting this side’s catapults and patted Tang Zan’s shoulder.

"Good luck, I’m heading to the city wall."

It’s fortunate she had built a road allowing catapults to ascend the wall while building it.

When these twelve catapults went up the city wall, the Dazi furrowed their brows.

They were about to win, yet more catapults arrived.

Still, such onerous machines.

But they had also noticed that even though powerful, the catapults took too long to start.

And because of heavy burdens, likely would be scrapped after a few launches.

The distance was 100 meters!

And the operators’ aim wasn’t very accurate, so they were somewhat relieved.

Pei Shu’er adjusted the direction of the catapults, targeting precisely the Dazi’s catapults.

Now as long as these catapults were dealt with, next would be the archers and wall-climbing attackers, then the Dazi would have no recourse.

"Everyone prepare, load stones, aim, release the hook, fire!"

Bang bang bang, enemy catapults were smashed apart one by one.

This accuracy reached seventy percent.

This accuracy at such distance is truly rare for catapults.

And Pei Shu’er, seeing this side was on track, moved to the first catapult and picked up tools to start repairing it.

Then replaced a lever and repaired the base, that catapult was ready immediately.

Then this catapult joined the fight.

Tang Zan suddenly frowned, glancing in Pei Shu’er’s direction.

Then his expression changed dramatically.
