"Command, siege!"

The horn sounded.

The order was handed down, and under the city of Buyeo, the soldiers of the army who had just had breakfast began to put on armor and prepare to go into battle.

In fact, Luo Shixin told everyone the truth, the general strategic direction of this operation had already been set, and at this time, all armies had already been in place according to the established strategy.

The siege of the city, the interception of the interception, the preparation of reinforcements, and the preparation of the siege are all in place, so Luo Shixin, the general, actually does not need to do much, as long as he advances according to the strategy set before the battle.

After all, so far, the situation on the battlefield has not appeared in the slightest unforeseen situation.

It was even better than expected.

All kinds of siege equipment that have been manufactured from armory workshops in various parts of Liaodong and transported by ship and water have also been assembled in the barracks.

At this time, siege vehicles, cloud vehicles, rushing vehicles, ladders, battering rams, catapults, etc. have launched the camp.

There are watchtower cars that are eight feet high.

With the vertical wood as the pole, it is the upgraded version of the nest car and the car, eight zhang high, the top is placed on the board layer, five feet wide, can accommodate a flag bearer holding the flag to watch the enemy's movements, and inform the enemy of the enemy situation with the herald below in the flag language.

Roll up the flag to indicate that there is no enemy, open the flag to the enemy, the flag pole is flat to the enemy is close, the flag pole is vertical to the enemy, the enemy retreats to slowly raise the flag pole, the enemy has retreated and roll up the flag.

For the battlefield, especially for the large army operations, it is very important to observe the enemy's situation, the more people, the more important the command, and the more difficult it is to command, so the establishment of this kind of eight-foot watchtower car on the battlefield can see farther, timely into the eyes of the enemy's movements, in order to respond at any time.

There are wheels under this kind of building car to push, there is also a pedal peg on the vertical rod, which can be used for the sentry to go up and down, the vertical pole is fixed with a thick rope diagonally, the watchtower itself is also equipped with a rotating shaft, which can be rotated in all directions to observe, this kind of car is higher and larger than the nest car, and the field of vision is broader.

For the besieging side, it can make up for the lack of vision.

There are also leather curtain cars.

It was a device with a plank on the front and then covered with raw hides on the outside, which allowed the infantry to hide behind the cart and close to the city, and was able to deal with the bows, arrows, stones and other weapons of the defending city.

And now the loyal army has created a sophisticated offensive version, the leather curtain car is very huge, dozens of people can be held behind, especially the wooden plank is still large, the leather outside is not afraid of fire attack, and the car has wheels, and it is easy to advance.

There are even horizontal boards on the car where people can stand and hide soldiers, and there are some shooting holes on it that can be switched on and off, so that you can return fire while pushing.

In addition, the Zhongwu Army also brought some pointed wooden donkey carts this time, this kind of car is an upgraded version of the previous cart, the cart is a four-wheeled bottomless wooden cart, the outside is like a closed carriage, covered with raw cowhide to prevent arrows, people push the cart forward in the car, can hide about ten soldiers, close to the city wall.

And the pointed wooden donkey is the universe general Hou Jing improved, this pointed wooden donkey has six wheels, the length of the car is one zhang five, eight feet high, the upper horizontal big wood is the ridge, the outer cover is raw cowhide, this kind of car is better anti-arrow fireproof, and it is specially used to advance to the city, digging tunnels.

In addition, there are Linchong and cloud ladders.

According to legend, Linchong was invented by Jiang Taigong, and because he was honored as Lu Gong in Lu Di, he was called Lu Gongche.

This kind of car is a kind of giant siege chariot, the car is several zhang high, dozens of zhang long, the car is divided into five layers, each layer has ladders to go up and down, a car can carry hundreds of soldiers, equipped with machine crossbows, poisonous arrows, guns and spears and other weapons, and even have special equipment to destroy the city wall.

During the attack, the people pushed the cart to the foot of the city wall, the roof of the car could be level with the city wall, and then the soldiers rushed to the city through the overpass to fight the enemy, and the city wall was destroyed by hitting the woods below.

This kind of large chariot is rarely seen during sieges, because it takes a long time to make and requires strict craftsmanship, and on the other hand, it is slow to advance and is more restricted by the terrain.

But this behemoth is also very powerful, and on the battlefield, it can give the enemy a huge deterrent.

If the early siege army can fill in the trenches, tear down the sheep and horse walls outside, etc., and pave a way for the Linchong chariots, then its lethality is also extremely strong.

In comparison, the ladder is simpler.

But the ladder is not a simple ladder, the ladder is also a kind of chariot, with wheels underneath, which can be pushed and driven, so it is also called a ladder car, equipped with shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment. It is said that the ladder was invented by Lu Ban, which is actually a kind of ladder car with a car chassis and wheels.

The ladder with a frame, equipped with wheels, pushes forward, reaches the bottom of the city, opens the ladder, and the soldiers climb the ladder to attack the city.

The ladder of the loyal army has been improved again, there is a main ladder and a secondary ladder, the main ladder is fixed on the chassis car at a certain angle, outside the main ladder, a movable upper city auxiliary ladder is added, the top is equipped with a roller, and you can slide up and down along the city wall when you climb the city.

This design, because of the use of fixed devices, simplifies the ladder erection procedure, shortens the ladder erection time, and the movable upper city ladder design greatly reduces the height of the ladder in front of the enemy.

In this way, when attacking the city, it is only necessary to stop the main ladder under the city, and then set up the ladder on the main ladder to go up the city, so as to reduce the danger and difficulty of the ladder in front of the enemy, and at the same time can ensure that the ladder is not too early to approach the edge of the city before ascending the city, so as to avoid being destroyed by the defenders.

Even the craftsmen of the Zhongwu Army also made various forms of auxiliary ladders, including flying ladders, bamboo flying ladders, tiptoe flying ladders, etc. These improvements made it easy and quick to enter the city and engage the enemy.

Compared to the simplest ordinary ladder, this siege ladder is more practical.

In addition, the craftsmen also built a number of moat bridges specifically for the siege, which were specially used to pass through the moat or moat, which was equivalent to a mobile bridge.

It was also with wheels, advanced to the edge of the trench, and then the bridge plate folded on the car was opened and erected onto the trench.

This kind of trench bridge can reach one zhang and five widths, and if eight trench cars are erected together, it can reach twelve zhang wide, and it can run cars and horses.

Of course, catapults and siege crossbows are also indispensable for siege.

The first ones are for approaching the city and climbing to the top of the city, while catapults and siege crossbows are specially designed to kill enemies or smash cities, and with battering rams, a complete set of siege equipment is ready.

When the horn sounded in the camp of the Loyal Army.

The watchtower cars that are eight feet tall rise one after another, and when the huge rushing car that is several feet high and dozens of feet long appears, the alarm bell at the head of Fuyu City rings for a long time.

Yuan Jiantu hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.

But I only saw that this behemoth monster with hundreds of planes under the city was slowly approaching.

"When did they build so many giant siege machines, and how did they build so many monsters overnight?" Yuan Jiantu collapsed.

"Prince, it must have been built in advance by the Sui people and assembled here." One person is a little knowledgeable.

Ke Yuan Jiantu where to care about this, what he thought was, in the face of so many behemoths, especially the Sui army, which was several times the defenders in the city, how would he defend it?

"Quickly send a messenger to the inner city to ask for help, just say that all the main forces of the Sui army are in Fuyu, let them come to help quickly."

"Marshal, the light cavalry of the Sui army has blocked the entire Buyeo River, and our messenger can't escape the hunt when he leaves the city."

"We're alone." A general looked at the slowly approaching Sui Jundao under the city with some despair.
