Seventy-first Round: Showing the Majestic Siege Equipment to Protect the Allied Army, the Heroic Prapade Kills the General Again (II)
The soldiers who held on in the barracks, facing the flying stones from the sky, also suffered heavy casualties, and had to rush out of the barracks to find a secluded corner to hide. With the rounds of stone bullet attacks, the defenders of the city did not dare to show their heads at all, and the soldiers in the city were already panicked, and the morale of the army gradually tended to be unstable......
With the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield, Wang Xuance also saw the right time, and immediately ordered Lippo Capricorn, led a group of soldiers, with a trench filling cart, and prepared to fill in a few smooth roads by this moat!
Speaking of this trench truck, we have to talk about this moat first. Since ancient times, the wider and deeper the moat, the better, and in this moat, there is either muddy clay or bottomless water; At the same time, there are also sharpened bamboo and wood drills hidden inside. It is precisely because of the obstruction of the moat that many siege equipment, such as ladders, etc., are difficult to approach the city wall, which is a major obstacle to the siege. So, to get close to the walls, you have to fill him in!
In the seventh century, the Five Indians had a shield to cover the moat, carrying sandbags on their shoulders and burying the moat. At this time, the Tang people found another way and chose a time-saving and labor-saving, extremely efficient and low-risk method, so this trench filling car came into being!
To put it bluntly, although this moat can hold off the enemy's attack with the momentum of the current; But it can't be stopped, the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, who are good at carpentry! Where there is a spear, there must be a shield, and this trench cart is a weapon to deal with this moat. In other words, this trench filling vehicle was the armored vehicle used to fill the moat at that time!
There are usually two kinds of trench filling vehicles, one is simpler, except that a defensive shield is set up in front; The other is a large armored vehicle that is fully wrapped in leather planks!
According to the "Old Tang Book", the largest trench filling truck appeared in the Tang Dynasty. I still remember that the original text of the book is like this: the thief made the cloud bridge into this, dozens of zhang wide, with the huge wheel as the foot, push it forward, wet the felt to give birth to cow leather, and hang the water bladder as an obstacle, pointing to the northeast corner of the city, the wood on both sides is the house, the ox leather is rising, the loop belongs to each other, and the soil is transported under it, so as to fill the trench, and the arrow stone can not be injured.
This cloud bridge is the moat filling car, and this cloud bridge can not only fill the moat, but also because of its huge, after a little transformation, you can achieve the effect of the Lu bus, so it was quite favored by the generals at that time!
Of course, this time the Tang Alliance, the trench filling truck designed by Mr. Li Zhengji and Mr. Li is not so huge, but it is just enough! I saw this trench cart, wrapped around it with this cowhide, and loaded with this stone and sand; And a group of soldiers pushed it from within, and came to the moat, and threw the landfill into the river through the open window.
Looking at the city, Wang Xuance had such a method of filling the river, and Kapiwa couldn't smile bitterly. Because he has no way to deal with it! He never expected that after this battle, not only did he not hurt a single soldier of the Tang Dynasty Coalition Army at all; On the contrary, it was his own soldiers, but the stone bullets thrown by the stone throwing machine smashed their heads and bleed, and their morale was low.
At this time, Lipcapria led these thousands of soldiers to drive thirty trench carts, loaded with sand, gravel and earth, to fill the moat. Seeing that this moat will become a smooth road, I am also full of anger in my heart!
At this time, I only heard a young general beside him, named Chehda, and said loudly: "General, in the eyes of the last general, it is not a way to stick to it so much, and we can only shoot from a distance with a cluster of arrows, but in the face of such a defense of the Tang Coalition Army, it has no effect at all, it is better to have the last general lead the troops out to kill for a while!" Destroy their siege equipment, and relieve the resentment in our hearts today! ”
Seeing that Ceheda was so powerful and morale, coupled with Kapiva, he was also tortured by the Tang Dynasty coalition army, which was quite a headache; Although this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not easy to defend according to the attack speed of the Tang Alliance!
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to his request to invite the army out of the city to meet the battle. Order the rest of the soldiers to lead the headquarters out of the city to meet the enemy, and only allow to attack the nest cart and stone thrower under the city, and do not lead troops to chase and kill without permission!
So, after Cehda got the order, he counted the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and prepared to leave the city! But how could all this be escaped, the keen eyes of the observation post in the nest car?
When they found a general in the city, the whole army was lined up, ready to leave the city. The observation posts on the ten nest cars had already conveyed such urgent military information to Wang Xuance's ears in unison.
So, Wang Xuance immediately shouted loudly: "Who can kill the enemy at the gate of the city and raise the prestige of our army!" ”
Hearing this, Kampot, Dunzhu, Prapada, Xiaoliu and others unanimously asked for the battle. Seeing that everything went smoothly in the siege battle, the four generals were not willing to show weakness at all, so they made this move.
Wang Xuance was also overjoyed when he saw this situation; In view of Prapad's fierceness, he asked him to lead a thousand soldiers to meet the enemy at the gates of the city.
Therefore, under this royal city, on the side of the drawbridge at the gate of the city, before the soldiers defending the city left the city, there was already a fierce general leading this thousand elite soldiers, lined up in formation, and immediately prepared a magical landscape of a vicious fight......
I saw this Chehda leading his soldiers and horses, and when the soldiers defending the city lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate. The confident leader with a knife led out of the city, and as soon as he walked to the other side of the drawbridge, he saw this Prapade with big eyebrows, and his heart trembled.
But when the two armies face each other, they naturally can't admit it, and besides, boasting about Haikou in front of this Pikawa, wouldn't it be a joke to retreat like this. So, he took up his sword and went to fight!
Although Chehda was thirty years old, he had been in the army for quite a short time; Dare to make such a bold statement above this city, it must have some real ability, and the heart trembled, just because I didn't expect that this Wang Xuance information would be so well-informed, and the original surprise attack was unprepared, and suddenly, it became a little passive!
Watching this sudden scene, Zhou Zeng also personally cheered for Prapade on the nest car. Accompanied by the neighing of war horses, two sharp war knives collided from time to time; With the sound of the siege of the majestic mountains and rivers, it echoed in the sky above this royal city, which seemed so sharp and tragic!
The sound reached the palace and into Lahad's ears. Today's Lahad is also a day of extreme anxiety, and everything outside the city has been known through the attendants! In the face of the Tang coalition army and advanced siege equipment, Kapiwa was also colorless; But the county officials are not as good as the county officials, no matter what the result is, the last people who are injured are the thousands of people in this royal city! Therefore, I can only sigh helplessly, and take one step at a time.
What about the life of this little general? At this time, King Lahad will go in that direction...... Please see the next ......
