Today's city walls are not as hard as iron as everyone thinks, nor are they built with regular boulders. They use materials such as stones, yellow mud, glutinous rice, glutinous rice juice, and lime. Cheng'an County is only a relatively remote county in the north. How hard can a city wall be
Blocking ordinary attacks is no problem, but facing Jiang Pengji's improved trebuchet is a little stretched.
What she dispatched was still a giant rock-throwing cart. In theory, even the city wall of Shangjing City could smash a shallow hole, let alone the city wall of Cheng'an County. The city wall is strong, but the power of the "foreign messenger" is beyond almost imagined.
The demolition team is not so brutal!
Except for Jiang Pengji, Zhang Ping and the audience in the live broadcast room, no one knew how powerful it was.
[Today's 5th watch]: Mad, this catapult of the anchor always reminds this baby of the Xiangyang Cannon that was used when Mongolia attacked Xiangyang City. A pit more than two meters deep...
[This is the first update]: Hey, isn't the prototype of the anchor's rock-throwing vehicle Xiangyang Cannon
[One Leaf Makes a Boat]: Not very clear, I watched the live broadcasts in those days, and the anchors were changed based on the existing ones. Anyway, liberal arts students can't understand such a complicated design, only know that the anchor chatted with Zhang Ping from the Mo family for a long, long time...
Jiang Nongqin calmly commanded the rock-throwing cart to shoot five rounds. The city wall had become riddled with holes, and the Tsing Yi army on the wall was even more dead and wounded. They lacked enough bows and arrows, and lost the powerful terrain of the commanding heights, so they could not wait for a while. 's charge inflicts effective resistance.
Jiang Pengji ordered the rock-throwing truck to stop throwing, and issued several military orders one after another, and dozens of elevators were pushed out from the military formation.
The ladders of this era are only relatively sturdy and long ladders, and they do not have the function of protecting the siege vanguard.
It should be known that in a siege battle, the loss of the siege side is often greater than that of the defender, because the siege side wants to get close to the city wall, and it must put itself in the attack range of the defender side, and the other side has a geographical advantage. , the siege side often uses the lives of the soldiers to pile up, build a ladder, and then force the city wall or break the city gate, the casualty rate is naturally high.
Of course, if the siege party chooses to dig a tunnel and sneak into the city, this is another matter.
She just wanted to break the city violently, so she didn't bother to let people dig tunnels like voles.
When Jiang Pengji made the ladder, she made reference to the existing materials and documents in this world, and made her ladder on this basis.
There are round hardwood rollers under the elevator, which can be used as solid tires to facilitate the movement of the entire ladder.
As for why make a lift function
She has two considerations.
First, the goal of the ladder is too large, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the enemy scouts and reveal the secrets of one's own armament. If the ladder can be folded, the possibility of exposure will be greatly reduced. Not to be taken lightly.
Second, the height of the city walls was not the same throughout the era. Some city walls were majestic and magnificent, such as the former Shangjing City, while some city walls were just mounds higher than the earth walls.
In addition to these details, the biggest breakthrough is the structure of the base of the ladder, where people can be hidden.
When the soldiers push the ladder, they can hide inside or under the ladder, and can use a thick shield to resist the attack on the city wall. With a shelter, even if the enemy shoots with arrows, the soldier who pushes the ladder can still successfully set up the ladder. on the city wall.
The Tsing Yi army on the city wall has been cleaned up, and the successors have not had time to replenish, so the danger of climbing the city at this moment is minimal.
She issued a military order, and the horn sounded again with a different rhythm.
The vanguard battalion infantrymen, who were full of fighting spirit, climbed the ladder first, one by one jumping faster than the monkeys.
Whose boy doesn't want to make a fortune
Especially when the female battalion is more agile than them, if the male soldiers don't live up to their expectations, how can this face still be seen
It was a little late when the Tsing Yi Army sent people to come to support them. The soldiers in leather armor drew their swords and slashed people.
There was a melee on the city wall, and more and more soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders, gradually occupying the advantage of the number.
Even though the Tsing Yi Army is leaderless, there are still many small leaders.
Now that it is too late to escape, they can only have a chance if they work hard to defend the city gate and keep the enemy out as much as possible.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in a short period of time, the number of troops that can come up from dozens of ladders is always limited. As long as the city gate is not broken, and the troops are concentrated to deal with the people on the city wall, the Tsing Yi Army may not be able to defend Cheng'an County... Well, they think very well. beautiful.
Dozens of soldiers were carrying a log that the three of them embraced, ready to smash open the closed city gate.
"one two Three!"
"one two Three!"
"one two Three!"
The soldiers read the numbers silently in their mouths, and when they count to three, they use force together.
The stone-throwing cart smashed the city wall before, which also affected the city gate to some extent. After the soldiers slammed together a dozen times, the city gate burst open, revealing more than a hundred Tsing Yi troops and various obstacles behind the door. Fighting at the door, the sound of fighting continued.
Blood splattered, and broken limbs were everywhere.
The blood flowing out gathered into a gurgling stream, like a meandering red snake.
In the battle at the gate of the city, the Tsing Yi army was defeated, and it was impossible to form an effective resistance and attack.
Soldiers stormed the city gate, and dozens of peculiarly shaped chariots came in handy.
The appearance of those chariots is very simple, and the cover hanging on them is lifted to reveal the true appearance of the chariots.
I saw twenty-one spears seven or eight feet long stuck in front of the chariot, with extremely sharp tops and sharp short blades on both sides.
Seeing this, the soldiers retreated, and their comrades in the rear pushed the chariot to the front of the team and rushed into the city.
This kind of chariot is specially used for lane warfare after the city is broken. It is like a hedgehog with thorns and roots, and it is difficult for the enemy to approach.
The Tsing Yi army is leaderless, and those little leaders can't even escape. How can they organize them on the battlefield to effectively defend against them
The soldiers on Jiang Pengji's side first broke through the high wall outside, and pushed them all the way to the inner city like chopping vegetables and tofu, leaving a bloody road along the way. Full of fear and despair.
Compared to the Tsing Yi army who had not eaten enough for several days, Jiang Pengji did not treat her army harshly.
Not to mention how good the food is, at least no one will be allowed to tighten their belts and go to the battlefield starving.
Meng Hun hadn't seen blood for a long time, and when the city was broken, he led his men to the front.
Unwilling to be outdone, Li Yun rode a horse into the city gate of Cheng'an County. He relied on the advantage of his agility to kill many Tsing Yi troops who could not escape. He waved his silver spear countless times and exploded dazzling blood flowers. The blood flower even dyed the white horse he stepped on into a "red horse".
Jiang Pengji was about to move, but she had two pairs of eyes staring at her, and if she dared to go in, they would die for her.
