Chapter 693: Cloud Ladder

Five miles outside Hancheng, the Tang army camped.

The Tiger Wolf Army had never failed like this, so morale was greatly affected.

The big tent in the army, all the civil ministers and military generals are there.

"Holy Lord, siege is not the strong point of my tiger and wolf army, if you keep attacking like this, it is really unfavorable, or tonight, still use hot air balloons to send people into the city, how about the inside and outside?"

Fang Xuanling was very keen on the wonderful use of hot air balloons, but after he said this, Li Yu shook his head.

"Although the hot air balloon is easy to use, it can only be used once, if Qi Guo has heard of this before, he is afraid that he will wait on the ground, in that case, can our people always float in the air? This thing, you can burn grain and grass, and then use siege, it won't work. ”

"How is that good, if we attack like this, our army will suffer heavy losses."

Everyone's looks aren't very good-looking.

Attacking a city is never an easy task, and it may take five or six times as many troops and horses as the enemy to capture a city, but even so, the damage is quite serious.

The problem is that they don't want to lose so much, after all, there are Jingzhou and Tongguan to pass behind.

They need siege weapons.

Li Yu frowned, if you talk about siege weapons, the best thing is the red-clothed cannon, this thing can directly blow up the city tower, even if the red-clothed cannon can't work, there is gunpowder, and if you get a little more, you can also blow up the city gate.

But unfortunately, neither of these things is easy to get.

Li Yu opened the system mall and wanted to find some siege weapons.

In the mall, there are really a lot of siege weapons, but what really makes Li Yu feel that it is a kind of cloud ladder that meets their needs very much now.

They also use ladders now, but the ladders they use are not very good, and standing on ladders like theirs, they can easily be hit by enemies on the castle towers.

When you climb up, you have to hold it with one hand, and it's still very dangerous.

However, there is a kind of ladder that can completely change these shortcomings.

Li Yu looked at the drawing, it was a ladder that was somewhat similar to the staircase of the later generations, and the whole ladder could be said to be a kind of ladder car, with wheels underneath and a fixed place.

After pushing it to the bottom of the city tower, it is directly fixed on the ground, and no matter how the soldiers push, they may not be able to push it.

In addition, the ladder is layered one by one, and if the speed is fast, you can run up directly.

Naturally, there are also disadvantages, that is, the volume is much larger than the previous ladder, although there are wheels, but it is not easy to transport it to the city tower.

Li Yu looked at the drawings and hesitated for a moment, and then decided to ask for them.

This kind of siege departure is much easier to use than the ladder they used before, which can save a lot of time and avoid a lot of unnecessary sacrifices.

The ladder can be made or purchased directly, Li Yu couldn't wait, so he directly purchased two ladders.

After the ladder was purchased, he found a reason to let people pull the ladder back.

In the early autumn evening, the barracks were desolate.

After the two ladders as high as the city tower were pulled to the barracks, all the soldiers were shocked.

"Holy Lord, you got such a big ladder from there, this ladder looks so big, if you attack the city, it must be a lot more convenient." Li Jing was a little shocked and a little excited when he saw such a ladder for the first time.

Because no matter who it is, after seeing this ladder, you can find the advantages of this ladder, and you can rush up directly, although the enemy army stands tall, a bit of a one-man posture, but this is also stronger than their previous ladder siege.

They added a slope to make the siege smoother.

"Then don't worry about it, tomorrow you will push this thing to the city tower for me to fix, rush up for me, tomorrow, you must break through Hancheng."

"Whoa!"

The morale of the soldiers was suddenly high.

--------------------

After one night, the next morning, the Tang army came to Hancheng again.

Fang Han saw that Li Yu was leading the troops again, he was very disdainful, and said, "Why, I didn't capture my Hancheng yesterday, and I still want to come today, to tell you, with my Fang Han here, you don't want to capture Hancheng, I want you Tang people, one by one, to die here." ”

Fang Han stood on the city tower and scolded proudly, but Li Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and waved his hand directly, and the mechanical crossbow flew away.

Under the cover of the mechanical crossbow, two huge ladders began to move towards the edge of the city, the most difficult thing was to cross the moat, they had to build a few large boards on the moat, and then dozens of people pushed the ladders over.

The whole process was a bit troublesome, and it took them a whole stick of incense to finally transport the two ladders across the moat.

After reaching the moat, they secured the ladder against the walls and began the siege.

Fang Han naturally saw this on the city tower, so he ordered people to attack violently, at the beginning, it did stop some of the Tang Army's speed, but after the cloud ladder was fixed, the whole situation changed in an instant.

After the ladder is good, the Tang army rushes up the ladder and runs towards the city tower, the speed is so fast, it is staggering, the Qi army panics at the same time, and also uses rolling logs and boulders, but the speed of the Tang army is too fast, as long as a few people rush up, their boulders and rolling logs will lose their effect.

The Tang army attacked quickly, and when a group of Tang troops rushed up, Fang Han surrounded them with soldiers and horses, wanting to destroy these Tang troops who rushed up.

It's just that the tiger and wolf army that rushed up had no fear at all in the face of the Qi army.

"Kill ......"

Fang Han killed him with a big knife, he was a fierce general of Qi State, just a few Tang soldiers, he really didn't pay attention to it, but when he slashed it, Tang Bing's Tang knife also cut over.

The blades collided, Fang Han's big knife snapped into two, Fang Han was suddenly shocked, his blade was much better than that of ordinary soldiers, it was broken like this?

When he was frightened, Tang Bing's knife did not stop, but slashed down along the way, directly slashing at Fang Han's shoulder.

Blood sprayed, how could Fang Han's body withstand the sharp blade of the Tang Dao?

The whole person was directly split in half by the Tang knife, perhaps, Tang Bing is not as strong as his martial arts, but with such a sharp blade, Fang Han is equivalent to being defenseless.

Fang Han was directly killed, and the Qi soldiers in the entire Han City were suddenly panicked, they were frightened by the scene just now.

I have heard that the Tiger Wolf Army of the Tang Kingdom is powerful, but now it seems that it is indeed so.

Fear soon spread among them, and the Tang army kept rushing up, and more and more Tang troops rushed up, and the situation became more and more favorable to the Tang State.

"Kill ......"

"Killing ......" In the sound of rushing and killing, the soldiers and horses of Qi State were scattered, and the Tang army was like a bamboo, and successfully captured Hancheng.
