Chapter 276: Ready
"Rocket, shoot!"
Dian Man pointed to the queue of Han soldiers and shouted, and the more than 100 archers on both sides of him pulled their bows to eight points, and successively loosened the strings, and the burning fire arrows broke through the air with a wisp of residual smoke, densely nailed to the bamboo shed.
The Han army bamboo shed has two layers of green bamboo, spliced with bamboo nails, about fifteen green bamboos form a small row, just enough to cover the width of one person.
It is about two zhang high, has a V-shaped support pole, which can be carried by a soldier on one shoulder, and carries the bamboo bundle long card sideways close to the Wei army's defense line, and is rooted down, standing steady with the support rod, so a stable shield wall is formed.
The front row is placed with a bamboo bundle long card, even after the bamboo bundle long card, the bamboo shed is erected with a fire to roast the bent green bamboo, a very long bamboo shed passage, and even the crossbowman carries the bamboo shed with a height of only one zhang to advance, and the front row has the bamboo bundle long card carried by the armor to open the way and shade.
Relying only on the simple equipment fixed in the shape of bamboo bundle long cards and bamboo sheds, the Han army not only ignored the Wei army's bow and crossbow suppression, but also steadily placed the offensive front one step away from the trench.
A strong crossbow shot is also difficult to penetrate two layers of bamboo bundles; Rocket shooting, it is difficult to ignite these green bamboo equipment.
Did it have to be put on the city to suppress the Han army's bamboo, wood, light equipment?
Zhang Liao did not have a thunderbolt, but had some bed crossbows and rhubarb crossbows to destroy the Han army's equipment and snipe the soldiers.
This is this kind of low-frequency attack, and there is no way to obstruct or interfere with the siege order of the Han army.
At this time, Tian Xin's 560 wheelbarrows were loaded with lime bags and pushed by crossbowmen to a distance of 50 paces from the Great Wall.
The wheelbarrow has a support frame, and after it is stable, its own professional military officials come to adjust the elevation angle and direction of the ballista.
With only one blow, it was necessary to try to let as much lime dust fall on the Wei army's defensive line.
Zheng Hun, who boarded to supervise the defensive battle, was amazed again and again, and he didn't know how to praise Tian Xin.
He said to himself: "Simplify the complex, simplify the complex...... It's a miracle! ”
Sensing that Zhang Liao was walking around surrounded by guards, Zheng Hun looked upright and went to greet Zhang Liao: "Marquis of Jinyang? ”
Zhang Liao stretched out his arms and pulled Zheng Hun to the battlement, and pointed to the Han army soldiers who began to retreat in an orderly manner behind the bamboo shield wall: "Sir, please look, this is the siege method of Beifu." If you deal with it early, how can you solve it? ”
The green bamboo was towed from the rear by water, and there was no restriction in terms of materials.
"If you can throw a bundle of grass, you can set it on fire."
Zheng Hun thought about it for a while, and looked left and right, and there were bundles of straw stacked at the head of the city, and these dry reed bundles were soaked in animal fat, which were set on fire and dropped into the city to burn the siege equipment of the Han army.
In order to prevent the Han rockets from igniting these sheaves, the sheaves were built into wooden sheds, which were covered with a layer of freshly watered earth.
It's a pity that the distance is a little far, and it is still possible to throw stones and throw them, and if you throw grass bundles, few people can throw them into the Han army's bamboo bundle shield wall array.
After a slight pause, Zheng Hun thought of two ways: "You can throw smoke into the nuisance, or you can use a thunderbolt to smash it." ”
Seeing that Zhang Liao's expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to look down on these three decent solutions, Zheng Hun said again: "If you recruit warriors and make them attack and set fires, it is easy to break their weapons." ”
"Mr. said with a smile, the soldiers of Beifu are not idle."
Zhang Liao is not surprised, Zheng Hun is a celebrity and a capable official, even if he is smart, he needs time to study cracking and coping strategies.
After a pause, Zhang Liao instructed: "Mr. is well-informed, would you like to go to Longpi and give advice to General Wei?" ”
Before Cao Pi became emperor, there was a yellow dragon in the Mopi well of Cao Cao's garrison, so the year name was Huang Chu, and Mopi was changed to Longpi.
Even in Luoyang, Cao Pi ordered the restoration of the old name, which was called Luoyang in official documents.
Zheng Hun is the younger brother of Zheng Tai, a core member of the anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance, and Zheng Hun has deep qualifications and great influence.
When he heard this, he looked at Zhang Liao, and then looked at the Han army's armored soldiers who retreated to rest and slow down their strength, and they were replaced by medium-sized infantry wearing only two crotch armor.
This kind of light infantry lined up in the corridor of the bamboo shed, and passed the bamboo and wooden square benches tied in the rear to the front row, and the Han troops in the front row were thrown into the Wei army's trenches to fill them.
The speed was extremely fast, and the trenches three or four feet wide were quickly filled with these small square benches two feet square.
I also saw the long bamboo that the Han army in the rear passed forward and reinforced, and the three long bamboos were in a row, which had been reinforced with bamboo nails, and it was not easy to fall off and separate.
This kind of long bamboo was transported by the alternating Han army armor soldiers to the gap of the bamboo bundle shield array, poked out of the gap, and slid forward from the back.
In this way, bamboo and wooden square benches are filled with trenches as supports, and rows of fixed long bamboos are pushed forward and laid on the trenches.
The deep and wide trenches that the Wei army relied on were thus blocked by the Han army.
Zheng Hun had already understood the siege tactics of the Han army, so he naturally knew the importance of this information, accepted Zhang Liao's kindness, led the guards to retreat calmly, and rushed towards the camp in Leqizhong in the east, just like a normal military transfer.
As long as there is green bamboo, the Han army can get rid of the great dependence on siege equipment!
This information must be spread at a faster pace, so that a solution can be developed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the Han army would have swept through the Central Plains at an unpredictable speed for the Wei army without siege equipment!
Zheng Hun left, Zhang Liao looked at the Han army under the city for a long time without saying a word, his eyes were deep.
The Han army also has a price, from the beginning to the end, the Han army crossbowmen did not send arrows, but only assisted in arranging the equipment, and now they are ready, but they still did not fight back, hiding under the bamboo shield wall and bamboo shed to recuperate.
Unsuppressed, the Wei crossbowmen caused too many obstructions to the Han army's armor in setting up siege equipment.
Although there were few examples of casualties on the spot, it was almost an hour of shooting, and the Han army moved at least 300 people to the wounded reception area.
Zhang Liao heard the sound of choking and crying and howling, which was the voice of pain and guilt of the captured Han soldiers and soldiers in the city.
"The prince makes good use of bamboo, and his name is well deserved!"
Zhou Cang observed behind the formation and touted Tian Xin to Luo Qiong, who was passing here.
At present, the Dangkou army and the Duliao army are still resting, and the officials take off their armor, drink hot water, and eat dry food.
casualties caused by the Beifu soldiers in the deployment of siege equipment...... This is normal, the Beifu soldiers can admit this kind of casualties, and so can the Dangkou army.
Not only can it withstand casualties of such intensity, but it can also maintain its mobility, and will not be slack or perfunctory.
In this way, casualties in the early preparations were unavoidable.
If the generals take pity on the troops when attacking the fortifications, and the military officials cannot set an example and take the lead, then the soldiers will definitely be perfunctory and slack.
On the ability to tackle tough problems...... There's nothing to talk about, Wei Jun and Wu Jun just can't.
Zhou Cang praised it, but he saw these dull tactics of the Beifu soldiers clearly, and went back to the military officials to practice, so that he could become the tactics of the Dangkou army.
Tian Xin, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in front of the car, with Fang Tian's halberd in front of his lap, and he was wiping it with a silk cloth.
There was a hunch that this might be the last time he would use Fang Tian's halberd to fight.
There are two lances of the sun and moon in cavalry warfare, and if you fight on foot, you will ...... Fang Tianji was a little lighter.
Now it can be regarded as a good hand, but during the Northern Expedition, he can definitely be promoted to another level, and at that time, it will be a bit of a waste of his combat power to use Fang Tianhalberd.
Fang Tian's halberd must be used in a circle, and each halberd strives to use all its strength, either the enemy dies or he dies, and there is no room for tricks and neutralization.
Opening and closing is the most consuming of physical energy.
You have to change to a blunt weapon, as long as you swing and strike, you can produce a blunt weapon that is absolutely lethal.
Instead of pursuing armor-piercing and slashing damage from strength and speed bursts, you only need to hit the opponent.
Switching to a heavier blunt weapon will save your physical expenditure and make you more resistant to combat.
Copper hammer?
The longer the copper hammer, the more difficult it is to master the balance, and the hammer horse battle long pole weapon is a bit of a hindrance no matter how you look at it.
Cudgel?
Dinghaishen needle?
If you add a spiral mounting accessory, the combination becomes ...... Yu Wang lance?
Get four accessories, finger fist cross?
