1481: Attack Nie Liang, attack Yang Tao, and point to the world (20)
Rao is a tentative attack, and Nie Liang's soldiers and horses are not easy to pinch, which actually caused a certain amount of pressure on Zhanjiang Pass.
However, Qi Guanrang had already considered this, making full use of the terrain of Zhanjiang Pass, and while commanding the city wall, he ordered the archers and soldiers who operated the bed crossbow to focus on attacking the weak defenses of the enemy's army formation, and with the terrain, the advance speed of Nie Liang's army was greatly reduced.
Jiang Pengji waited in the rear for a while, but she couldn't sit still.
Although the herald will truthfully convey the important information on the battlefield, it will not be as good as seeing it with his own eyes.
"It's been almost a quarter of an hour, and the enemy has no intention of retreating?"
At present, there are not many casualties on both sides, and when Nie Liang's army sets up a ladder to cover the collision of the gate post and the city gate, the casualties will increase sharply. Because of the dense crowd at that time, blind archery could also kill two birds with one stone. When the besieging party climbs the wall through the ladder or rope, the defending side will knock people down, and according to the height of the Zhanjiang gate, it is basically a fall of a child.
If you really want to enter this link, the losses of Nie Liang's army are much greater than they are now.
Jiang Pengji muttered, "It's just a feint, why work so hard?"
She wants to be idle now, the salted fish in the live broadcast room is even saltier than her, the battle report is not cool enough at all, they want to watch the frontline fight!
Just listening to the war report, it feels like scratching the itch in the boots, it's okay not to listen to it, but it's even more uncomfortable to listen to it.
[Gym Master]: Alas, why is Nie Liang working so hard this time, don't you have a little AC in your heart?
If she hadn't been angry with Nie Liang, how could people be angry?
[Weight loss is important to persevere]: I now feel like a player who participated in the World Cup but sat on the cold bench from beginning to end, watching his teammates gallop on the green field, and I could only be idle and moldy. Isn't the anchor a husky, can you stand it when you squat in the back?
Although there are many salted fish complaining that the live broadcast room is too bloody and violent, there are also many salted fish who like this bite.
Jiang Pengji, as a battle maniac on the front line of struggle, is now sitting on the cold bench, and those salted fish are uncomfortable for her.
The salted fish fanned the flames on the side, and Jiang Pengji was a character who couldn't sit still, so she decided to climb the city wall to make a kick.
Everyone: "......"
The walls of the city were in flames, and the enemy army had set up ladders and tried to fight on the city. The officer made the two of them calm down, and the enemy set up the ladder without panicking, and when they climbed to two-thirds of the way and then pushed the ladder down, the rope they threw up was treated the same way.
However, the same approach did not always work, and the enemy swarmed like hornets and gathered under the city. The enemy archers interfered with the guards on the city walls with rockets pierced with black oil, and at the same time provided cover for the soldiers climbing below the city, which was a great cooperation.
The area of the city wall is limited, and the number of guards is naturally limited.
If these people were in a hurry and did not effectively bring the enemy down, the loss of the walls was inevitable.
Qi Guanrang and Sun Wen naturally would not make this mistake, and the soldiers under Jiang Pengji's account were the most obedient.
They were brainwashed by the commissars of the barracks for several years after they were put into the barracks.
Even if they are afraid of death, when the horn sounds, they will rush forward, because their bodies have formed a reflex to the command.
Sun Wen was quite merciful, ordering the watchtower soldiers to observe the movements of the enemy's rear line, and on the other hand, ordering the archers to divide into three waves.
One wave of enemy archers shooting at the front line below the city retreats half a step after shooting, allowing another wave of archers to make up for it with their bows, reducing the vacuum as much as possible. The third wave is responsible for the enemy trying to climb the walls. In addition, there are soldiers with red tassel guns who shoot at the eyes, cheeks, throats and other parts of the enemy, and directly stab them down. There are many soldiers on the city wall, but the pace of the battle is fast and steady.
The official made it much more ruthless, not only did the archers and pikemen interfere with the wall, but he also poured boiling water and burned charcoal red. When a basin of boiling hot water went down, the faces of the soldiers at the top of the ladder were basically burned, and the soldiers at the bottom not only had to be smashed in the face by high-altitude human body throws, but also had to be splashed with hot water and charcoal by the unlucky ones. If it weren't for the lack of time, Qi Guanrang would also want to embed the battlements of the city wall with thistles. If the enemy dares to climb the wall, his hands and feet will be pierced with blood. However, this proposal was rejected by his own father-in-law.
The reason is also simple -
[Tribulus terrestris don't want iron!]
In addition to these regular operations, the officials also hung iron planks covered with thick iron nails from the city walls. The soldiers simply loosened the rope to pierce the iron planks at the enemy who tried to climb the wall, and when they pulled the rope back, the enemy's battered corpses were knocked off the wall.
A wave of temptation, the enemy failed to successfully reach the city.
Nie Liang, on his side, carefully noted down the objects used by the enemy army on the city wall.
The first wave of attacks did not take much advantage, and the Nie army did not give up, but ordered the soldiers to push dozens of stone-throwing trucks.
The catapult of this era was not original to Jiang Pengji, and it was also used on a large scale during the war, which can be regarded as a weapon of fire destruction in the war. The giant catapult she used to attack Cheng'an County has been improved several times, and its overall performance, whether it is the accuracy of fixed-point projection, the projection distance, and the striking force, is much higher than the average level of this era.
Of course, as a big country among the five countries, the technical level of Zhongzhao's control is not low.
Even if the power of these stone-throwing trucks in front of him is not as powerful as those prepared by Jiang Pengji, they are not weak.
Thinking of this, the official who originally planned to hide a hand had to show one of his hole cards.
The volume and transportation of the rock-throwing truck is a big problem, so Jiang Pengji asked Zhang Ping to study other types of stone-throwing vehicles.
Giving up a certain amount of carrying capacity in exchange for a longer throw distance and a more dexterous mention to further simplify the operation.
Simplified operation means that the time from loading and throwing objects to firing the catapult is shortened, and the enemy can fire a single shot, and you can throw it three times, and you can also adjust the projection angle. The power of the stone-throwing truck is great, but Zhanjiang Pass is a dangerous pass, and the stones used to build the city wall are all huge stones used to build the Great Wall, which are huge in size and dense, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary heavy objects to pose a threat.
Nie Liang's army obviously considered this as well, so they were aiming at the defenders on the city wall.
Because of the height of the city wall, the projectile distance should not be too far, and it is exactly within the range of the crossbow on the wall bed.
"Document, order the soldiers to aim at the joints of their catapults—"
Qi Guanrang's face was solemn, and he was already in a bad mood when he saw the enemy set up a catapult, and when he heard a familiar voice, he almost lost his breath.
"My lord, this place is dangerous, please leave immediately!"
How powerful the stone-throwing cart is, the official knows it well, even if he still uses the color, the casualties cannot be reduced.
But the lord of his own family climbed the city wall at this time, and he was almost dead.
