At this time, Li Zuoche pondered for a while, because after Ruan Weng Shao's question about what to do next, Li Zuoche had to ponder.

The North Korean army at the head of the city had clearly suffered heavy casualties, and constant news from the front line showed that the North Koreans seemed to have no more means. But Li Zuoche always felt that something was wrong.

But in the current situation, Li Zuoche couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, because there was too little information about the city. Except for the fact that the other party had a group of people who could fight with the Mo family swordsmen and still have the upper hand, he felt that there was nothing worth noting in the things he knew.

Then, a flash of inspiration quickly flashed in Li Zuoche's mind, that is, the appearance of these people showed what the other party was planning.

The tactic of blocking the city gate is reasonable in the case of holding on and waiting for reinforcements, but in this case, the prepared Koreans seem to know very well that the reinforcements that the North Koreans can mobilize are basically harassed by the guerrilla tactics of Han Xin and Du Cong, and there may still be, but to defeat them to support this city, Li Zuoche does not think that the enemy officers in the city will be so naïve.

Since this is the case, Li Zuoche thought of a situation, that is, in this city, it seems that something should be waiting for them.

"How do you know if you don't go and take a look?" Li Zuoche then nodded to Ruan Weng Shao: "Captain Ruan, you ordered the Cloud Ladder Warriors to attack the city, once you control the city wall, try not to go too deep into the city." ”

Ruan Weng Shao didn't know why Li Zuoche had such an order, but he still directly agreed.

......

The ladder warriors of the Qin army have such an establishment in many troops. Of course, the Ladder Warrior is just a sub-category of officers, and it is not an independent class at all.

Unlike the ladder troops in many other places, Zhang Jiashi specially assigned an additional piece of leather armor worn inside the iron armor for the ladder troops who went out this time.

Such an arrangement, after the experiments of the craftsmen, can relatively effectively reduce the lethality of the ladder troops in the face of the defenders.

Of course, for areas without armor protection, it is not effective.

And the weapons of the ladder warriors, it is naturally difficult to be like the heavy shield troops under Zhang Jiashi's command, specially equipped with a shield, such a combination makes it difficult for the Qin army troops who climb the ladder to quickly climb the ladder at least ten meters high.

In addition, in terms of weapon matching, an iron sword with a thickened sword body, or a two-handed weapon, has become standard equipment.

The ladders equipped by the ladders have also been replaced with a ladder made of metal at the top, which can effectively block the position of the battlement wall, and the defenders will have to destroy these ladders in many cases, and it is not ordinarily difficult.

Moreover, the front section of the ladder is not a simple ladder design, but uses an L-shaped lever to fix the base to increase the stability of the ladder.

If possible, the corresponding officers and soldiers of the ladder will be under the cover of others, and put nails in several round holes in the base to strengthen the fixing of the ladder.

Groups of ladder soldiers, holding shields with one hand to block the arrows that were fired at them from time to time, and the other hand clamped the ladder hard, and then under the command of the officer, they kept running forward.

The arrows shot at the head of the city were obviously much more sparse, and some of the remaining Korean crossbowmen had no chance to shoot the next arrow, so they were shot by the Qin crossbowmen who shot their crossbows and arrows less than fifty meters away, under the cover of shield soldiers.

It didn't take more than a few minutes for the ladder troops to rush to the bottom of the city wall, carrying the ladders equipped by their troops.

The units of the Korean army on the city walls again and again constantly threw all sorts of sandalwood stones downward. However, at this time, many North Koreans were shot by several arrows before they could throw down the wood and stones they had raised. And some of the ladder soldiers in front of them, on the way forward, were shot by arrows fired from the city wall, and some other Qin military material officers quickly took over the robes that had lost their combat effectiveness and continued to move forward.

Soon, the Qin officers and soldiers in front quickly erected the ladders, and then the two Qin officers and soldiers quickly fixed these ladders with nails on the round holes in several bottom plates.

The North Korean troops defending the city, after seeing the ladders being erected, used their own weapons or a few people to push these ladders with brute force, but they soon found that the ladders in front of them, even if they were chopped with a scimitar, were just a series of sparks, and they did not receive any damage at all, but also directly shocked their wrists numb.

And the North Korean army pushing the ladder then saw that the top of the ladder was directly stuck in the city wall by something that emerged from the ladder.

Faced with such a situation, the North Korean army did not know what to do. At the same time, the follow-up ladder troops threw away their shields, held their weapons in one hand, and quickly climbed upwards.

From time to time, the Ladder Warriors were hit by arrows fired from the battlements from the side by the Koreans. Some people were able to endure the pain from their bodies, gritting their teeth and continuing to climb upwards, while others fell from the ladder screaming because they had been hit or in the legs......

Some unlucky ladder warriors, one after another, were involved by the people in front, and after falling to the ground, they played with the crowd.

The Qin army at the bottom has often become a corpse after the robe on top has been moved by others.

In many ways, the Ladder is cannon fodder or something, but in many cases, the Ladder is often one of the main forces in capturing a city.

This is a contradiction that is a headache for many generals, because the importance of the ladder for capturing the city is naturally self-evident, but its high casualty rate also makes the ladder a class that is difficult to effectively accumulate elite personnel.

The casualty rate of the ladder is not only the various dangers encountered in climbing the ladder, but also the moment when the ladder is about to be climbed and the city wall is reached, which is also the main reason for the casualties of the ladder.

Many of the officers and soldiers of the Cloud Ladder Warriors, before they could fight the enemy, were directly hit by a few spears or North Korean weapons.

After many Qin officers and soldiers fell off the city wall, blood continued to bubble out of their armor and damaged armor in many places, indicating how many attacks these officers and soldiers encountered.

After falling to the ground for a short while, many Qin officers and soldiers who were seriously injured lost their breath one after another......

In the first wave of about 200 people, more than half of the Qin officers and soldiers who climbed from the 20 ladders were killed or wounded, and the 100 generals of the Qin army in charge of the command had to stop the personnel who continued to climb and fight.

In other words, this time the attack of the ladder troops ended in failure.

After Li Zuoche knew about this situation, he shook his head and sighed: "Use siege equipment." ”

After hearing this, Ruan Weng Shao nodded lightly.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

It's not that Li Zuoche didn't plan to use these siege equipment at the beginning, and it is also not that these ladder soldiers were sent to death.

It's these siege machines, which have not yet perfected some shortcomings. In layman's terms, it refers to these siege equipment, which are quite unreliable in Li Zuoche's eyes.

There are two main siege equipment dispatched by Ruan Weng Shao this time, one is the arrow tower vehicle, and the other is the siege tower vehicle.

The purpose of the Arrow Tower is to use the height to allow the crossbowmen to shoot at the enemy at a horizontal height or higher.

The siege trolley allows the siege troops to enter and exit from the trolley, directly from the top of the trolley to the aisle of the city wall, attack the enemy army of the city wall, and seize control of the city wall.

These two things were also common during the Warring States period.

Of course, Li Zuoche knows very well that although some defects have been improved, such as shortcomings such as too slow speed, there are still many problems with these building cars.

First of all, the use of the kind of metal chain, mechanical drive, assisted by pure human propulsion of the chassis of the building car, can not bear the excessive weight.

That is to say, the exterior of the building car can only be nailed with a thinner metal plate in some key positions to resist the penetrating killing effect of the bow and crossbow.

If the other side uses a large number of rockets to shoot at the building cars, these building cars will still be easily ignited and burn in the end.

And the kind of driving method similar to a tricycle, trampled by nearly twenty Qin officers and soldiers, in a sense, is indeed effective in speeding up, but because of reliability problems...... Once the chain is exercised, almost everyone has to be manually pushed again.

Zhang Jiashi did not emphasize the need to improve this aspect, but not to mention this much more complex design, because many things really cannot be made like later generations, products at that time. In the future, the tricycle will not have the problem of broken chains, not to mention that at this time, it can be regarded as a much rough product.

In a sense, Bai Qidu said something to Zhang Jiashi: "It's already a great thing that this thing can move, can you force more unrealistic?"

Well, Zhang Jiashi can only equip these things and observe the effect.

Of course, if Zhang Jiashi knew about the personnel under his command, including Chen Ping, he still didn't have too many expectations for this kind of thing, and even didn't directly pour cold water, what would Zhang Jiashi's mood be, this is a question.

......

In the next attack, Ruan Weng Shao sent eight arrow tower vehicles and four siege tower vehicles, and slowly moved forward under the cover of the next batch of 200 Qin army cloud ladder soldiers sent out.

There are no people on the building car, and these are arrangements to reduce the weight of the movement.

Otherwise, the arrow tower car that can stand fifteen people, and the siege tower car that can stand for a tun, don't even think about moving.

The shape and volume of the arrow tower car are smaller than the siege tower car, so under the same driving method, the movement speed of the arrow tower car is much faster.

After coming to a place about two hundred meters away from the city wall, the arrow tower cart slowly stopped, and the corresponding arrow tower cart crossbowmen began to climb the ladder, and then shot arrows at the enemy on the city wall from their combat position.

Because the arrow tower car sent out this time was higher than the city wall, after calculating the height difference, a Qin army commander waved the flag backwards on the arrow tower car, and said the siege tower car that was still moving slowly behind, and what kind of height to take, and released the wooden planks connected to the city wall.

Other crossbowmen fired their own winding arrows at the almost visible enemy.

Many North Korean soldiers hiding behind the battlement wall were shot one after another. And some of the North Korean crossbowmen, under the command of officers, fired rockets.

However, the number and density of these rockets are too low, and they will not cause any lethal effect on the arrow tower car for a while.

However, a sharp-eyed Qin army crossbowman had to shout after seeing that there were actually several bed crossbows on the city wall.

The North Koreans have bed crossbows, this thing really surprised these Qin army crossbowmen, judging from the performance of the North Koreans, the other party does not seem to be too familiar with the use of such heavy equipment.

Several North Koreans should have received orders to use these crossbow carts, but several North Koreans were busy for a while and could not effectively reload a crossbow.

The marksmen among the crossbowmen of the Qin army have set their sights on these Korean soldiers who operate bed crossbows.

North Korean soldiers who were operating the crossbows were shot, while nearby officers kept roaring for others to continue the operation.

But the other party should not know that there are many people among the crossbowmen of the Qin army, and they have regarded these people as the main targets.

More and more North Korean officers and soldiers fell next to the bed crossbow, or on the body of the bed crossbow, after all, with their own North Korean scientific and technological capabilities, it is still possible to make bed crossbows, but how many people can be proficient in operation is a more important question.

......

As the Korean officers and soldiers on the city wall were shot and killed one after another, the siege tower car of the Qin army finally "overtaken" the arrow tower car and continued to move forward.

After hearing the warning of the nearby material officer, a Qin army crossbowman stretched out his head to take a look, and after seeing the location of the black smoke gradually emitting, he grabbed a bucket next to the pulley, and poured water into it along some of the water troughs designed at the top.

The soaking planks of the water that gradually flowed from top to bottom quickly extinguished some of the flames that were relatively high. At a low altitude, several officers and soldiers in charge of power had already used buckets around them to extinguish the flames.

The more difficult to extinguish is the flame located in the middle of the building car, after all, this position is completely high or low.

However, there is also a way, that is, under the hanging of several Qin army crossbowmen, let a comrade land to fight the fire.

This kind of thing does have a certain danger, and in the corresponding training, some accidents have also occurred, and some Qin soldiers even fell to their deaths. However, after many trainings, the officers and soldiers of Qin, who were already familiar with this method, naturally knew very well what to do and effectively avoid accidents other than accidents.

After nodding to their subordinates, several Qin soldiers slowly put down the hemp rope in their hands, and this Qin army officer held a clay pot in his left hand, grabbed the hemp rope with his right hand, and gradually hung down.

After a while, the officer came to the vicinity of the place where the black smoke and obvious flames were gradually burning, pulled the hemp rope three times with his right hand, signaled the officers and soldiers under his command to stabilize his figure, and then poured the water from the clay pot in his hand continuously.

Soon, the water in the clay pot ran out, and the burning place was extinguished.

The officer, who had done all this, pulled his hemp rope four times again, and let his men slowly lower him to the ground.

The officer of the Qin Army, who had untied the rope, gently wiped the corner of his forehead, after all, if there was such a thing, he would have to fall half to death, or fall to death directly.

Although it is said that it is not a soldier to be afraid of death, but few people are willing to try such a way to die. After all, it's too aggrieved.

......

In terms of the fireproof arrangement of this siege equipment, Zhang Jiashi did not think about using some materials that are easy to soak or fireproof to make the main body.

However, materials that are easy to soak are basically non-existent, at least in the current environment where there is no cotton, and it is obvious that there is no such thing as this.

Furthermore, Bai Qi raised the question, that is, what if he now had a large amount of cotton fabrics?

In the case of a quilt, the weight of the quilt may be relatively light, but once the cotton is soaked in water, the weight is not lower than that of a metal plate that is not too thick.

Moreover, the quilt Shenma cannot be effectively used in this aspect at all, because according to the corresponding volume, it is better to directly design a set of metal bodies to cover the main place with the quilt.

In Bai Qi's mind, the main body of the metallized instrument is much better than the wooden body in many aspects, and of course, the design of power and load-bearing is a very important undertaking factor.

If you can't solve the most basic way of motivation, everything can only be empty talk.

Zhang Jiashi expressed his helplessness about this, because as Bai Qi said, many things now, although there are all kinds of problems, are also the best results that can be done now.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Under the city wall, there were dozens of Qin officers and soldiers who had to hide under the city wall in groups, using shields to block all kinds of attacks from above the city wall.

They gave up on the next assault for the first time, but they suffered considerable casualties.

Originally, there were about 50 officers and men, including the wounded, but only about 20 were still able to catch their breath or were not injured.

Others, either seriously injured and waiting to die, or ...... has become a corpse.

However, all this changed for the better with the four siege carts of the Qin army, slowly approaching, and the support of the crossbowmen who suppressed the Koreans on the city wall so that they could not raise their heads......
