508:Attack on Fengyi County (16)
Today's city wall is not as hard as iron as everyone thinks, and it is not built with regular boulders, it uses stones, yellow mud, glutinous rice, glutinous rice juice, lime and other materials, Cheng'an County is only a relatively remote small county in the north, where can the city wall be hard?
It's no problem to block ordinary attacks, but it's a little stretched in the face of Jiang Pengji's improved stone thrower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She dispatched a giant stone throwing vehicle, theoretically speaking, even the city wall of the capital back then could smash a not shallow hole, not to mention the city wall of Cheng'an County, although the city wall is strong, but the power of the "foreign envoy" is beyond imagination.
None of the demolition teams are so brutal!
Except for Jiang Pengji, Zhang Ping and the audience in the live broadcast room, no one knew that it was so powerful.
[Today's fifth watch]: Made, the anchor's catapult always reminds this baby of the Xiangyang cannon used when Mongolia attacked Xiangyang City, which is also a counterweight trebuchet...... It is said to be extremely powerful, and can smash a deep pit more than two meters deep in the ground......
[This is the first update]: Eh, isn't the prototype of the anchor's catapult a Xiangyang cannon?
[One Leaf Chengzhou]: It's not very clear, I watched the live broadcast in those days, and the anchor changed it on the existing basis. Anyway, liberal arts students can't understand such complicated design drawings, and they only know that the anchor has been talking to Zhang Ping of the Mo family for a long, long time......
Jiang Rongqin calmly commanded the stone throwing cart to project five rounds, the city wall has become full of holes, and the Tsing Yi army on the wall has suffered heavy casualties, they lack enough bows and arrows, and they have lost the powerful terrain of the commanding heights, and they cannot wait for the charge to cause effective resistance.
Jiang Pengji ordered the stone-throwing truck to suspend the throwing, and issued several military orders one after another, and more than a dozen lifting ladders were pushed out of the military formation.
The ladder of this era was only a relatively strong and long ladder, and it did not have the function of protecting the siege vanguard.
You must know that in a siege battle, the loss of the besieging side is often greater than that of the defending side, because the besieging side wants to approach the city wall, it must put itself in the attack range of the defending side, the other party occupies a geographical advantage, and the besieging side often has to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, set up a ladder, and then forcibly attack the city wall or break the city gate, and the death and injury rate is naturally very high.
Of course, if the besieging side chooses to dig a tunnel and sneak into the city, that's a different story.
She just had the idea of violently breaking the city, so she didn't bother to let people dig tunnels as voles.
When Jiang Pengji made the ladder, she referred to the existing materials and documents in this world, and made her ladder on this basis.
There are round hardwood rollers underneath the ladder, which can be used as solid tires to facilitate the movement of the entire ladder.
As for why you need to make a lifting function?
She had two things to think about.
First, the target of the ladder is too large, it is easy to provoke the vigilance of the enemy scouts and reveal the secrets of their own armaments, if the ladder can be folded, the possibility of exposure is greatly reduced, and the defenders think that she has not prepared siege equipment, so they may take it lightly.
Second, the height of the city wall is not the same throughout the era, some city walls are majestic and magnificent, such as the former Shangjing City, and some city walls are just mounds of earth that are higher than the earth walls, and the height of the elevator can be adjusted according to the situation of the city wall.
In addition to these details, the biggest breakthrough is the structure of the base of the ladder, which can be hidden.
Soldiers can hide inside or hide under the ladder when pushing the ladder, and can use a heavy shield to resist attacks on the city wall, and with a shelter, even if the enemy shoots with a rain of arrows, the soldier pushing the ladder can still smoothly put the ladder on the wall.
The Tsing Yi army on the city wall has been cleared for a wave, and the successor has not had time to replenish, so the danger of landing in the city at this moment is minimal.
She gave the military order, and the horn sounded again in a different rhythm.
The infantry of the vanguard battalion, who were holding back their fighting spirit, climbed the ladder first, and jumped faster than monkeys one by one.
Who doesn't want to make a career?
Especially when I see that the women's battalion moves more neatly than them, if the male soldiers are not angry, can they still look at this face?
It was already a little late when the Tsing Yi Army sent people to support, and I saw those soldiers in leather armor draw their big knives and cut people.
There was a scuffle on the city wall, and more and more soldiers climbed the city wall with the help of ladders, gradually occupying the advantage of numbers.
Although the Tsing Yi Army is leaderless, there are still many small leaders.
Now it is too late to escape, and only by trying to hold the city gates and keep the enemy as far as possible can they have a chance of survival.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in a short period of time, the strength of more than a dozen ladders can always be limited, as long as the city gate is not broken, and then concentrate forces to deal with the people on the city wall, the Tsing Yi army may not be able to hold Cheng'an County...... Well, they think it's pretty beautiful.
Dozens of soldiers carried a log that three people hugged, ready to break open and close the gate.
"One...... Two...... Three!"
"One...... Two...... Three!"
"One...... Two...... Three!"
The soldiers silently recited the numbers in their mouths, and when they counted to three, they exerted themselves together.
Before the stone throwing truck smashed the city wall, how much also affected the city gate, after the soldiers hit the city gate more than a dozen times, the city gate broke open, revealing more than 100 Tsing Yi troops and all kinds of obstacles behind the door, the soldiers and horses of both sides fought at the city gate, and the sound of fighting continued.
Blood splattered, and stumps were everywhere.
The blood that flowed out gathered into a gurgling stream, like a small red snake that meandered.
In the battle at the city gate, the Tsing Yi army was defeated, and it was unable to form an effective resistance and attack at all.
The soldiers stormed the city gates, and dozens of oddly shaped wheeled chariots came in handy.
The chariots were very simple in appearance, and the shields hanging on them were lifted to reveal their true faces.
I saw twenty-one spears of seven or eight feet long stuck in the front of the chariot, the top was extremely sharp, and the sides were full of sharp short blades.
Seeing this, the soldiers retreated, and ordered their comrades in the rear to push the chariot to the front of the line and rush into the city.
This chariot is designed for roadway battles after the city is breached, like a hedgehog with spikes and roots, and it is difficult for the enemy to get close.
The Tsing Yi army has no leader, and those little leaders can't even escape, where will they go to the battlefield to organize them to effectively resist?
The soldiers on Jiang Pengji's side first broke the high wall outside, and advanced to the inner city like chopping vegetables and tofu all the way, leaving a bloody road along the way.
Compared with the Tsing Yi army, which has not eaten enough for several days, Jiang Pengji did not treat his army harshly.
Not to mention how good the food is, at least no one will be forced to go to war with their belts tightened and starved.
Meng Hun hadn't seen blood for a long time, and when the city was broken, he led people to rush ahead.
Not to be outdone, Li Yun rode into the gate of Cheng'an County, relying on the advantage of dexterity to kill many Tsing Yi soldiers who could not escape, and waved the silver spear countless times, blowing up dazzling blood flowers, and the blood flowers dyed the white horse he stepped on into a "red horse".
Jiang Pengji was about to move, but there were two pairs of eyes staring at her, and if she dared to kill her, they would die to show her.
