"Oh!" Li Zicheng took the initiative to find something to do, which made Gao Yingxiang a little surprised, he had said in front of Wang Jiayin that all the leaders who were under his control had to act with him, but these generals who were named by him were not active, and there were not even many who went to his tent to obey orders.

Just now he was a little worried, it is not difficult to cut down trees, most of the people and horses under his command are from peasant families, it is nothing more than to go farther, it is more difficult to transport over, but he will be blind to build a ladder, the city wall is so high, if you use the method of building an ordinary ladder by a farmer, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold so high, if you can't use it, or if you don't climb it up, it will be broken, not only will you lose face, but when will this cottage in front of you be even more hanging.

Li Zicheng's background and ability, Gao Yingxiang knows, since he took the initiative to ask Ying, he must be sure, but it saved him a piece of heart.

"Brother Chuang is really both civil and military, he will do it." Wang Jiayin praised that although he had been a border soldier, he was a big old man, he had seen the ladder and could climb it, but if he wanted to do it, it would be impossible.

"In this case, please ask the general brothers." Gao Yingxiang also hugged his fists and thanked Li Zicheng.

"The two leaders are polite, this is the honor of the last general." Li Zicheng bowed and replied, "I won't waste time, so I'll take someone to cut down the tree." ”

Luo Rucai in the crowd raised his eyebrows and strode out, "Big leader, King Chuang, as long as there is no ladder, we can only wait here, but there are no trees around, if you want to cut down trees, you will have to go far, I am afraid that the people of the first battalion are still a little insufficient, I am willing to help and build the ladder as soon as possible." ”

Whether Li Zicheng will build a ladder or not, Luo Rucai doesn't care, what he cares about is that he can take his subordinates away from the battlefield by cutting down trees to build a ladder, what are you doing, you can't die, and when the fight really starts, the men and horses of his battalion have already done something, so you can't let them go to death anymore, so many battalions of people and horses, how can they come in turns.

Luo Rucai is not the only one who has this idea, only half a step behind him, Zhang Xianzhong also walked out of the crowd, "Big leader, Chuang Wang, cutting down trees is also counted as my share of Huang Hu, Brother Chuang, I'll give you a hand, don't dislike it." ”

"Brother Cao Cao and Brother Huang Hu are willing to help, but the younger brother can't ask for it, how can he dislike it." Li Zicheng hurriedly said that he really wanted to build a cloud ladder as soon as possible so that he could knock down Zhuolu Mountain, but he didn't think much about Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts.

Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang didn't see through the intentions of these two, and they both thought that they were worried about the unfavorable war and came to help.

"Look, Lao Gao, if something really happens, the brothers are still willing to help, don't worry about it now?" Wang Jiayin said to Gao Yingxiang quite happily.

Gao Yingxiang also nodded slightly, and finally had a smile on his face, "Gao Mou is here to thank the three brothers." ”

Luo Rucai didn't speak, only arched his hand slightly.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled heroically, "Chuang Wang is polite." ”

"It's all my own brothers, thank you." Wang Jiayin said, "Okay, the three battalions of people cut down trees, I think it's almost over, you guys can go now." ”

The three of them retired.

The rest of the leaders, there are one or two who have seen through Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts, and they regret it a little at the moment, why did they react so slowly, they were preempted by Cao Cao and Huang Hu, and now if they want to be cheeky, they have no chance.

Most of the other people were as ignorant as Wang Er, and they didn't know that just now after such a while, they had already had a small confrontation internally.

The next morning, in front of the pass of Zhuolu Mountain.

The little leader who supervised the battle that day, holding a Yanling knife and his men, was giving a lecture in front of a large group of displaced people.

"I also rested for a day yesterday, and you have eaten enough this morning, so you all take out your spirits and take down this wall for me!"

"Go back, isn't that looking for death?" Someone in the crowd whispered.

The little leader naturally heard it, but he didn't pay attention to it, but continued, "Your leaders are kind to everyone, don't worry, you won't let you die like this." ”

"Someone!" The little boss shouted, "Carry the ladder over." ”

As his voice fell, someone not far away shouted, "Get out of the way!" Five or six men came to him carrying a long, narrow ladder and wide at one end.

"See?" The little leader patted the ladder triumphantly and said, "With it, you don't need to take a ladder, do you know what it's called?" It's called a ladder! ”

This thing is actually a long ladder, and the workmanship is really simple, and the leaves are still on it in some places, so it really doesn't deserve to be called a real ladder.

The real ladder system is composed of three parts, the bottom is equipped with wheels, which can be moved, the ladder body can be tilted up and down, carried by manpower, leaning on the city wall, and the top of the ladder is equipped with a hook to hook the edge of the city, and can protect the ladder head from the resistance and destruction of the defenders.

Since the rise of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, this huge and cumbersome ladder has been gradually abandoned because it cannot resist the attack of firearms, but the hook at the top and the support at the bottom are there, and it will not be so simple.

Although Li Zicheng has seen a ladder, limited to the lack of equipment at hand, he can barely make this appearance, but at least it is quite sturdy and will not fall apart at the first touch.

They were busy for a day and a night, running more than 20 miles to find the trees, and it took a lot of effort to build such a ladder, which is considered to be tried for the homeless people today to see if it works well and if there is anything that needs to be improved.

"Now you carry the ladder to the city wall, the narrow one is facing up, the wide one is down, and put up the wall for me to climb up desperately." The little leader walked back and forth and shook the knife in his hand, "Whoever dares to escape from the battle again, don't blame me for not having long eyes on this knife, do you hear?" ”

The homeless people responded a few times, obviously still a little afraid of the sudden falling rocks from the sky.

"Don't get too close to the city wall, so that the stone can't hit the person when it falls, and don't worry about climbing the ladder and the ladder, the stone can't be thrown so far at first, but when you get to the wall, if you want to live, your hands and feet have to be faster, only by grabbing the city, you can have the hope of living." Seeing that the morale of the homeless people was still a little low, the little leader had an idea, and said some words of comfort and instruction indiscriminately, saying that the danger of falling rocks was much lower, and half-threateningly asking the homeless people to desperately storm the city, which was a bit crooked.

"Okay, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, give it to me now!" The little leader was so dry that he finally got impatient and pointed his finger at the leader of the homeless people, "You! Carry the ladder with someone. ”

The crowd of black pressure was centered on the cloud ladder, like an ant colony, and once again surrounded the pass of Zhuolu Mountain.

"Get out of the way!" The leader of the outcasts shouted and raised the ladder high.

"Bang", the ladder hit the city wall, the length is quite surplus, the narrow end, set up the battlement, just climb up the ladder, you can go up to the city, it seems to be wonderful, the homeless people under the city wall sound a cheer.
