Chapter 377: Something Isn't Right

It's all nonsense.

Zhuge Liang was more concerned about killing and injuring some Shu soldiers.

The next step is to counterattack Sichuan and Shu, once Sichuan and Shu are captured, the soldiers and civilians of Sichuan and Shu will become the people under the rule of Uncle Liu, and if the Shu army is killed and injured too much now, isn't this reducing the population under the rule in the future in advance?

Besides, if there are too many kills and injuries to the Shu army, there will be public resentment in Sichuan and Shu, which is not conducive to Uncle Liu Huang's rule of Sichuan and Shu in the future.

You must know that behind every soldier of the Shu army, there is a family!

Therefore, if he can kill less, Zhuge Liang will try to kill as little as possible to the Shu army.

Of course, the killing and wounding above the battle array is inevitable.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang is trying to avoid a large-scale decisive battle with the Shu army.

Just after noon, outside the city of Hanzhong, the moat was almost filled, and the tide-like Shu army slowly retreated, and began to eat and rest, carrying out the final rest before the war. The war was on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense.

An hour later, the siege began.

The first to dispatch was the archers of the Shu army.

In other words, in siege warfare, the first to dispatch should be the catapult, and only by measuring the catapult can the archers on the city wall be suppressed, and the battlements on the city wall can also be bombarded. However, the trebuchet of the Shu army is far less than the trebuchet of the Hanzhong army. After learning the lessons of Jia Mengguan, Wu Yi didn't let the trebuchet come forward to be embarrassed.

Fortunately, the archers with the protection of the tower shield can still suppress the Hanzhong army on the city wall.

In the east of the city, the Shu army of 5,000 archers, divided into hundreds of small phalanxes, advanced to the left of Hanzhong City one hundred and fifty steps under the escort of shield soldiers. Then, the shieldmen set up the shield tower, and the archers began to rain arrows into the walls through the gaps in the shield.

In fact, archers should have been concentrated in one place in order to form maximum deterrence and lethality.

However, under Jia Meng's pass, the lesson of the vanguard of the Shu army also made Wu Yi dare not use the archers in one place!

Now, although the archers are scattered, they can still suppress the Hanzhong army on the city wall to some extent, right?

The archers of the Shu army began to throw arrows and suppress it, and then, a series of cloud ladders, under the shoulders of the tide-like Shu army soldiers, rushed towards the walls of Hanzhong City.

……

In fact, there are two main forms of ladders.

One of them is a long ladder, which can be easily made by cutting down some trees or tall bamboos. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of ladder was the main siege tool on the battlefield. Even now, in the process of attacking the city, this kind of ladder is also indispensable. In particular, this kind of ladder is simple to manufacture, can be made of local materials, and does not need to be carried with the army at all.

Of course, this ladder is the most unsafe, and can easily be overturned or smashed by the defenders on the city walls.

The second kind of ladder was invented by Luban in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as the ladder car.

This kind of ladder is basically a vehicle structure, and below it is a six-wheeled or eight-wheeled wooden car, which is equipped with an anti-shield and a winch. Then the front end of the wooden cart is supported by two pillars, on which are a long ladder with hooks.

A shield is a rain of arrows or gold juice on the city wall.

The winch is used to extend the height of the ladder.

After all, the city walls are high and short, and this kind of ladder with a car can adjust the height of the ladder anytime and anywhere.

The hook on the ladder can be attached to the city wall when it is close to the city wall, so that the ladder will not be easily overturned.

This kind of ladder, when attacking the city, is basically a nightmare for the defenders. This is because it is not easy to overthrow, and the defenders of the city such as a rain of arrows or gold juice pose less of a threat to this ladder and the enemy troops who climb it.

Most of the ladders pushed out by the Shu army now are the first type of ladders.

As for the ladder trucks, in the east of the city, there are twenty, and if you add up on all sides, there are less than 100 ladder trucks attacking the city.

This is almost the entire inventory of the Shu army.

It's not that the Shu army doesn't want more ladder cars, but the ladder cars are not easy to make, and they are not easy to carry, far less convenient than trebuchets.

……

Soon, the ladders of the Shu army were set up on the city wall, and then a string of soldiers of the Shu army climbed up along the ladders. Below, about one hundred and fifty steps away from Hanzhong City, the archers of the Shu army were still suppressing the rain of arrows relentlessly.

In the east of the city, thousands of steps away from the battlefield, Wu Yi and other generals were watching the battle, or supervising the battle.

Husband fights, courage also, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Whether or not Hanzhong City can be conquered actually depends on today's battle. If the soldiers of the Shu army can attack the city wall today, then it will not be a problem to conquer the city of Hanzhong, and if they can't get to the city today, there will be no hope of breaking the city in the future.

"General, something is wrong!" Huang Quan frowned.

He was also watching the siege battle, but Huang Quan always felt that something was wrong when he looked at the comings and goings. In fact, this feeling of being wrong has been around since yesterday, and it was not until today that the Shu army began to attack the city with a ladder, and this feeling of being wrong became more obvious.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yi asked indifferently, and then, he pointed to the battlefield not far away, and chuckled: "Join the army and look, the soldiers of my Shu army are attacking the city, and many soldiers are about to climb to the top of the city!" ”

Yes, from a distance, the soldiers of the Shu army passed through the ladder and were indeed about to climb to the top of the city. Even, there has been more than one place where the city is close to each other. Perhaps, as long as you hold on to a stick of incense for a long time, there will be soldiers on the top of the city!

In Wu Yi's opinion, their hope of conquering Hanzhong City is still quite big.

Even, Wu Yi was still mocking Zhuge Kongming in his heart: "What wisdom is so close to the demon, even the first wave of siege of my Shu army can hardly be prevented, and what kind of Wolong is it called, I think it is a crouching worm!" ”

Of course, Wu Yi did not declare this ridicule.

……

Huang Quan thought for a long time, and finally grasped what was wrong.

Pointing to the battlefield that was besieging the city, Huang Quan said almost incoherently: "General, think about it, is our army's siege too smooth?" ”

At this time, Zhang Ren, who was only listening to the side, chuckled: "What, isn't it good that our army is attacking the city smoothly?" Does it have to be a loss of troops and a fruitless siege of the city, so that Huang will feel normal when he joins the army? ”

Wu Yi also looked sideways at Huang Quan, his thoughts were similar to Zhang Ren's.

It can be said that the generals present also have similar ideas to Zhang Ren's.

The siege went well, why is it not good?! Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
