Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 122.Steadily occupy the city wall
Only after the real temptation knows how well prepared the other party is, all the good ideas are just conjectures, even if you see the hope immediately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the final result may be more powerful...
The position of the main attack of the Taiyun army is the city gate, and a company has prepared four or five special crashing woods, aside from the first crashing wood that was defeated due to insufficient preparation at the beginning, the remaining few on the battlefield basically did not suffer much damage, but it was inevitable that the potholes that were smashed on the top, but fortunately, they were prepared in advance and the binding was relatively strong, otherwise they might not be able to hold out for so long, and they would fall apart.
This also proves the benefits of a large number of people, there are dozens of people under a crash wood, and the arrangement of troops is more reasonable, unless it receives a relatively large area of pressure, so in the case of a certain point only losing one or a few people, the impact is not large, and others can steadily catch the pressure shared by their teammates, and the impact is not big after the deuce, but such a long-term defense is not a long-term solution, and their own side has not caused any threat to the enemy at all, and has been in a state of passive defense, every time a boulder or tree is smashed on the city wall, Everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Moreover, their task is to break the city gate, but they have been attacking continuously for so long, and they have used such a powerful weapon to hit the wood, but they still did not achieve their goal, and the city gate has only a few small holes or cracks that have been smashed out, plus the back of the door seen from the breach, it is full of all kinds of debris, I don't know how much has been piled up in the city gate hole, so it can be supported for a period of time in a short time, and the most important thing is that it is a blow to morale, and the confidence of the soldiers is getting lower and lower, and it has become a mechanical action.
The consequences of going on like this are very terrible, although Shang Feng is unwilling, but he is not discouraged, he changed the way of playing in time, implemented the second plan, hit the wood non-stop, and at the same time used the ladder to transfer the target of the main attack from the city gate to the city wall, such a change is not difficult, it is not a change in the battle, and the impact on the soldiers is not too great, but the main attack and the secondary attack are reversed, and the adjustment is also very simple.
The attack on the wood did not stop, and the other auxiliary front troops also began to build the ladder, because it was a temporary preparation, and the materials here were limited, so the production of the ladder was relatively simple, in order to save its weight, and the degree of durability, so there were many fewer materials to choose from.
With these two limitations, some old trees have been selected out, the thin straight trunk is the best choice, cut off some branches and vines, and then use the traditional ladder production method, double wood plus layers of horizontal blocks, but the finished product is always unsatisfactory, because the quality determines the weight, the trees cut down at this stage are the season of thriving, so the trees themselves contain a lot of water, and the weight is a few points more out of thin air.
And if you choose to be a little more detailed, you can't support the weight of several people climbing at the same time, Shang Feng tested a few, but the effect was not satisfactory, it was more laborious for four people to lift, not to mention that it was necessary to carry it from a distance when attacking the city, or to guard against the opponent's attack at any time, so improvement is a must, it is necessary to save weight, and it can ensure the degree of strength.
After several tests, a new type of ladder was made, its choice fully met the requirements of Shangfeng, originally with double wood as the main trunk became a single wood, so that even if the tree is a little thicker, there is no problem, the weight of a single wood is much lighter than that of a double wood, and then add enough rungs on both sides, and the base is installed with a triangular bracket to ensure its stability, a new special ladder has been invented and created, and it is the best method at this stage.
Compared with the traditional ladder, this ladder is lighter in weight, more convenient to carry, only need to be one in front of one and two people in the back can resist it, and the soldier can also pour out his hand to prepare a shield in the process of advancing, which not only saves physical strength, but also ensures safety, and is considered a relatively advanced invention.
Of course, there are still shortcomings, after all, the rungs of the double-wood ladder are installed more solidly, and this new type of ladder rungs are inserted in it, it is certainly not more secure than that, however, whether it is strong or not is relative, after several tests, as long as the rungs are installed more appropriately, there will generally not be too many problems, there must be gains and losses, it depends on how the parties to choose.
Here I also have to say that the carpentry technology of the Taiyun tribe, or the woodworking technology of the entire Eastern Regions, even if it cannot crown the whole continent, it is not far away, many world-famous carpentry masters on the continent are basically from the Eastern Regions, or it is also related to the production of mountains and forests here, up to the important military facilities of the tribe and the most critical secret base, down to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people, daily necessities, and woodworking technology is inseparable everywhere.
Of course, with the development of society, some of the things that are usually used are gradually replaced by iron tools, but if you want to replace them comprehensively, it will be impossible for a while, and the Taiyun tribe has never stopped researching this aspect, they have reached some more sophisticated and meticulous mechanisms can be made, from the mechanism of the wooden winch on the city gate, it can be seen that a small wooden disc can control a huge city gate, and the power can be imagined.
Therefore, it is not too difficult for the Taiyun tribe to improve the ladder, and some of them can be inserted into the position arrangement and fixation of the rungs, and they can also do the best, so that the guarantee of safety can also be the best, not to mention the dense seams, but there will be no halfway off.
The first ladder is erected on the city wall, more and more ladders appear on the city wall, I have to say that the calculation of the Taiyun tribe is very accurate, the size of each ladder is basically the same, and the length can just be stuck on the edge of the city wall, after all, it is their own city, so they must be very familiar, but to be able to do such accuracy, this ability is not something that ordinary people can do.
The top of the ladder is deliberately made in a curved hook, just to firmly jam the edge of the city wall, so that with the base tripod of the card position, the fixed ladder is more stable, as long as someone stands on it, even if the wooden imperial army on the city wall is pushed away with all their might, the ladder has not moved, and now thanks to the special troops temporarily prepared by Mu San, the heavy weapons they prepared can just restrain these wooden ladders, and under the hard chopping, a ladder is finally cut off.
The unfortunate one is the first batch of enemies waiting for the city wall, seeing that they will soon be able to show their heads on the city wall, and they can fight head-on with the opponent for a while, but the ladder is cut off at this time, and the person steps in the air in one step, falling to the ground, although he has not yet died, but the person has not yet risen, he was trampled by his own side with it, and he can no longer get up, plus the city wall is smashed with all kinds of heavy objects, and there is no room to dodge, and the flesh and blood of the smash are blurred, and it is extremely miserable.
On the battlefield, once a person is injured and falls to the ground, there is basically no possibility of survival, not only to face attacks from all directions, but also to guard against trampling from teammates, and relatively speaking, the trampling of teammates is more terrifying, because the space on the battlefield is relatively narrow, and it is more laborious for everyone to flicker and move, how can it be possible to pay attention to the situation under their feet, so once they fall to the ground, they must immediately find a way to get up, but the first batch of climbing Taiyun Army has no chance to choose again.
The situation here did not affect the entire occupation, there are more and more ladders erected all over the city wall, it can be seen that the other party has made sufficient preparations, and is ready to climb regardless of losses, and the main force of climbing has also become the Chinese army, for this army, Mu San is also extremely concerned, after all, the troops that can make him feel dangerous are rare, and he doesn't want Mu Yujun to suffer a big loss from his rival.
There are constantly ladders being cut and pushed to, and all kinds of heavy objects are constantly falling on the city wall, resulting in a mess at the scene, and the screams are continuous, although the city wall is not high, but the end of falling in mid-air is very miserable, but both sides are unmoved, everyone is actively doing the tasks arranged above, as if the opposite side is not a person at all.
Although the Mu Imperial Army is relatively well prepared, but the Taiyun Army's attack this time is not unprepared, on the contrary, after they suffered a loss, they became more cautious, and the plan of action was more rigorous, so they were not afraid of such a siege of attrition, and as long as this continued, although their own sacrifice was great, but the result must be that the other party could not bear it first, as long as their own side attacked the city, then the two sides would be on the same running line, in this case, the Taiyun Army will definitely defeat the opponent completely.
The first Taiyun army finally jumped on the city wall, although he didn't hold on to the city wall for too long before he was killed by the surrounding Mu Yujun, but this is the hope, as long as there is the first, there will be a second, and then they will climb to the top of the city one after another, and occupy a larger area with a little area.
At the same time, this also stimulates the morale of the Taiyun army, the enemy is on top of their heads, the feeling of being pressed and beaten like this makes people be prepared and depressed, the most important thing is that they can't reach the enemy at all, and the enemy can smash all kinds of heavy objects towards themselves, so that the battle without fighting back is finally going to pass, as more and more Taiyun troops gain a foothold on the city wall, the area they control is getting bigger and bigger.
forced back the surrounding Mu Yu Army, the number of Mu Yu Jun and Taiyun Jun gradually disparity to almost the same, after all, the space on the city wall is relatively small, and one place has been broken through, and loopholes have gradually appeared in other places, the whole situation is becoming more and more dangerous for Mu Yu Army, this is also a matter of no way, the advantage of numbers is so helpless, Mu San has no way.
