"Everyone is ready to fight! The generals will fight and take Yijing with me! ”

With Yuan Shao's order, all the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army tensed their nerves and paid full attention.

"Forward!"

"Roar!"

Countless Yuan army foot soldiers opened their legs and roared and launched a charge.

"Kill!"

As the horn of the attack sounded, the army of Yuan began to gather.

The wells, ladders, and rushing carts that attacked the city began to be arranged in an orderly manner.

"All troops on alert!" Tian Yu roared, and he also understood that the real battle had only begun now.

"Listen to me!" Tian Yu snatched the bow of the soldiers around him and put the bow on the arrow.

Under the command of his generals, all the soldiers followed Tian Yu's movements.

"Put!" Tian Yu drank again.

"Light the torch, aim it at the well, and let's go!"

"Puff puff!"

Arrows rained down.

"Shoot back! Back! General Yuan Jun immediately responded.

At that moment, there were several well-mounted carriages that stopped on the spot, and in an instant, many archers of the Yuan army climbed on the top of the well-mounted carriage and shot arrows towards Yijing City, so that the archers on Yijingcheng City could no longer use fire arrows to destroy Jingqicha unscrupulously.

These Yuan troops, taking advantage of their own height, shot directly at the soldiers of the Youzhou Army in the direction of the head of Yijing City from the car, and at the same time covered their own ladders, approached the city wall, destroyed the battlement wall, and directly attacked the defenders on the city wall.

In the middle of the arrow shuttle, there were about three or four well carts, which were pushed to the city by a team of Yuan soldiers.

Finally, there were two well carts, under the protection of the soldiers, braving arrows to approach the city wall, and at the same time as it lowered the suspended planks on the top with a bang, a team of Yuan soldiers quickly climbed the "attic" along the hollow staircase inside the well carriage, and then stepped on the "suspension bridge" and rushed to the city wall of Yijing City.

Offensive! Offensive!

Yuan Jun launched an assault.

Yuan soldiers and Youzhou soldiers on the suspension bridge, on the city wall, launched a desperate struggle, in a roar, roar, and screams, every time an eye blinked, a Yuan soldier or Youzhou soldier died, or fell on the city wall, or fell from the city to the city.

"Set fire!"

When the well car had just arrived at the city of Yijing City.

At this time, there was no need for Yuan's archers to attack the well carts outside the city with fire arrows, because those well carts were already very close, so the soldiers of the Youzhou army only needed to throw the oil cans and torches they carried with them and directly ignite the well carts.

Compared to rockets, this is much less labor.

But Tian Yu noticed that inside the wells that caught fire, there seemed to be Yuan Bing pouring water on the outer walls, so that the drops of water were dripping down.

At first, Tian Yu thought that those Yuan soldiers were stupid, but he gradually discovered that when Yuan soldiers splashed water on the inner wall of the well car, even though the outside of the well car was still burning, the spread of the fire slowed down strangely.

Is it because the wood sucks up water and stops the fire from spreading?

Tian Yu frowned and pondered, while his eyes stared at some chariots filled with wooden barrels in the ranks of Yuan soldiers outside the city, according to his observation, those wooden barrels seemed to be filled with water, which was obviously used to guard against his fire attack tactics in Yi Jingcheng.

It's not easy to do!

Tian Yu frowned, and began to think of countermeasures.

"Go up the ladder!" The generals of the Yuan army over there shouted loudly and commanded the dispatch of the army.

The ladder is composed of four parts: wheels, ladder body, hook and underframe.

The ladder body can be lifted up and down, and it can be carried and leaned on the city wall by manpower; There is a hook at the top of the ladder, which is used to hook the edge of the city; Wheels are installed under the ladder and can be moved.

The ladder bottom frame is made of wood as a bed, six wheels are placed below, the ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder, the top is equipped with a pair of rollers, after boarding the city, the ladder can move up and down freely along the city wall, and no longer need to be carried on the shoulder.

Soon, there are several ladders under the support of Yuan Jun's soldiers, close to Yijing City Pass, in order to avoid the premature separation of the auxiliary ladder and the wall, the top of the auxiliary ladder is equipped with hooks and ropes for fixing, and the personnel below adjust the direction of the ladder.

Since the ladder has the advantage of being able to reach the city as quickly as possible, it must move quickly.

After all, there were many ways to use siege in ancient times, but most of them were based on the premise of quickly ascending the city, and the ladder must be bold, fast, and take advantage of the situation to enter the city.

Therefore, there are all kinds of light and simple flying ladders that are commonly used.

All of a sudden, ladders flew in the air.

There is also a wooden city wall outside the city of Yijing City, and an earthen city wall is set inside, and the defense is quite tight.

The soldiers of the Yuan army who besieged the city first shot back with bows and crossbows, repelled the defenders of the city, burned the wooden city with fire, held crossbows, and used the long halberd to sway and cover, and then quickly approached the earth city, set up ladders on all sides, and ascended the city by ladders.

This siege method is to attack, try to shorten the confrontation time between the two sides, and quickly break through the city defense, so it is necessary to use a light ladder, the ladder structure is simple, light weight, and mostly wooden bamboo.

Bang! After incomparably heavy casualties, the first ladder hooked up the city walls.

Soon, the soldiers of the Yuan army parked the main body of the ladder under the city, and set up the auxiliary ladder on the city wall.

"Not good!" When Tian Yu saw such a scene, he immediately shouted, "Kill!" ”

"Come with me, gentlemen!" As far as everyone can see, one person is charging forward, and he is the first, it is Tian Yu!

Tian Yu's strength is really extraordinary, standing forward and defeating more than ten Yuan soldiers by himself, and then jumping on the top of the ladder, killing rings, where he passed, from time to time there were Yuan soldiers who fell down the ladder.

"Kill me!" The generals of the Yuan army also reacted, drew their swords and dispatched soldiers, and intensified the attack on the walls of Yijing City.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Yuan army gathered and followed, like a dense army of ants, flocking away.

"Smack! Bang Bang Bang! ”

All of a sudden, the sound of the ladder on the city wall was endless.

"Get on the crash!" Tian Yu slashed a Yuan soldier who climbed up head-on, wiped the scarlet blood splashed on his face, and shouted loudly.

Crashing is a weapon that is both offensive and defensive. It is composed of several parts: column, ram, beam, transverse shaft, chassis and wheel.

The hammer head of the striking hammer is made of iron, and the hammer is used to pierce through the gate or wall of the defending city during the siege; When defending a city, it can also be used to deal with cloud ladders.

In the era of cold weapons, most of the wars were fortified and mainly conquered cities, so the corresponding city defense system was very strong, and the attacking party was bound to use a variety of attack methods in the war to achieve the goal of winning the war.

With the repeated separation of attack and defense, a variety of siege and defense tools were born.

In fact, many times, offense and defense are the same, this moment is a siege tool, and that moment is a siege tool.
