Chapter 1229
There were a few more muffled sounds.
The remaining nine catapults collapsed five at once!
This time all the Xiongnu people were dumbfounded.
Only then did they confirm that it was not their improper operation.
But that these catapults had aged and rotted.
Looking at the broken catapults, the Xiongnu people were speechless for a long time.
At this moment, they had the heart to die.
How come they did not think of trying to see if these catapults were still useful before coming here.
It caused them to be at the city gates now, only for this embarrassing scene to happen.
The remaining four catapults were intact.
Perhaps only these four were useful.
The Xiongnu people in charge of the catapults became ruthless and directly gave the order.
"Release!"
Now there was no other way; the arrow was on the string and had to be released.
Even if only four catapults were useful, they had to be fired.
The Xiongnu people guarding the catapults heard the command and swung their knives at the ox tendons of the catapults.
With a clang.
Four big stones whistled out!
They flew toward the direction of the Great Wall.
On the Great Wall.
The soldiers were laughing until they fell over.
They really did not expect that out of those ten catapults, six had actually broken.
Only four were left that could still be used.
It was truly beyond their expectations.
Were these Xiongnu people here to be funny?
Taking their large weapons to siege the city.
As a result, more than half were directly scrapped.
It made them feel that the Xiongnu people were just here to be funny.
But thinking about it, it was understandable.
After all, these siege engines and catapults were equipment from two years ago.
It looked like the Xiongnu people had not maintained these war carts at all.
That ten could still have four left that were temporarily intact,
was enough to prove that Great Qin's technical quality was solid.
Those four would likely be scrapped too.
"Be careful, four giant stones are flying over!"
The soldiers on the Great Wall saw this and shouted loudly.
Everyone at this moment looked at the flying stones.
And the soldiers below the Great Wall heard this and stared at the sky.
Because their line of sight was blocked by the Great Wall.
They could only identify which position the stones were falling toward by looking at the sky.
As long as they discovered it in advance, they could avoid being hit by the giant stones.
If they were hit, they would be crippled if not dead, at least they would be injured.
