"And?"

Li Chuan's expression was stunned for a moment, but Xia Qi's expression and tone made him clearly realize that his thoughts were not thorough enough, and Li Chuan, who thought of this, couldn't help but fall into contemplation again.

Seeing this, Xia Qi chuckled, and then thought slowly with him, not that Li Chuan was stupid, but because he had not yet broken away from his previous identity and situation.

There is a saying that is not in its position, and it is not in its politics.

Li Chuan was originally a small soldier, and there was no room for him to interfere in things like this kind of marching and fighting and tactical layout, and over time, he naturally would not think about these things anymore.

And above the court, it has always been the royal court's insistence, and it is useless for anyone to say anything about the decision.

According to his original words, it is: Lao Tzu, a player from the information age, needs you NPCs to point fingers?

And Xia Qi is different, he knows that a person's power is limited.

As his power grows bigger and bigger, there will be more and more affairs, and he can't manage everything, and he will be exhausted to death if he grasps the military and politics.

Zhuge Liang, who is wise and almost demonic, is a good example.

What Xia Qi is doing now is to tell him to think that what people who are in a war and sit in the command position need to look at the overall situation, but Li Chuan's analysis just now is limited to the war in front of him, and Xia Qi wants him to think a little further.

Xia Qi looked ahead, then squinted his eyes and said, "This guy's battle is really not small." ”

What?

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then followed Xia Qi's eyes, and was shocked when he saw the city below.

"That's... Siege Towers! ”

As a siege machine, the siege tower can be much more expensive than the siege vehicle, and it is more time-consuming and laborious to manufacture, the height of each siege tower needs to be basically level with the city wall, and then a large number of soldiers will hide in the tower, and when the soldiers outside push the siege tower in front of the enemy wall, the soldiers hiding in the tower will rush out to capture the city wall in one breath.

At the same time, these two siege towers are obviously one of the killer features in the hands of the royal court, and this time in order to scare Xia Qi, they were directly taken out.

And that's not all, after a closer look, Xia Qi also found that there was also a special army carrying a ladder, that is, the kind of soldiers who rushed to the outside of the city wall, and then set up a ladder on the periphery to climb up, and the advantage of the ladder is obviously that it is cheap, and it is one of the instruments that win by quantity, after all, the siege tower is such a large equipment, just by looking at it, you can know how high the cost is.

I have to say that this has come and gone, and the threat index of the opponent's siege force has really risen all the way, which made Xia Qidu, who was standing on the wall, feel a lot of pressure, and at the same time, he also felt the heritage of the old players of the bronze rank.

"See this battle? It seems that the guy in the royal court is really in a hurry, or rather, he was forced to have no choice, and directly took out the old bottom. In other words, as long as Wang Ting is defeated again in this battle, he will lose the possibility of resisting. ”

While speaking, the siege troops outside the city had already sounded the horn of attack, looking at the bed crossbow launched in the enemy's formation, Xia Qi raised his hand, and the bed crossbow troops began to control the eight-bull crossbow he placed on the city wall to snipe the opponent.

A tentative outpost battle, but Xia Qi fought extremely seriously and pressed step by step, because he knew very well that once he showed weakness, the other party would directly attack the city with all his might, after all, there were two siege towers, with bed crossbows, ladders, siege vehicles and other siege equipment, the strength of this siege force was still quite strong, coupled with the advantage of troops, according to his current strength in defending the city, he really fought with all his might, and it was estimated that it was hanging.

So at this time, you can't show weakness, you must fight strongly, so that the other party can't figure out your reality and reality, so as to scare the other side back, but now it's not too late.

This outpost battle is destined not to have many casualties, Xia Qi, who does not have an advantage in troops, cannot go out of the city to pursue, and the besieging side with a tentative purpose is unlikely to lose too many of its troops in a temptation.

During this period, the royal court has not dispatched the siege tower.

Just like Xia Qi guessed, Wang Ting pushed out the siege tower, more to play a deterrent role, after all, he had seen the power of Xia Qi's eight-bull crossbow, there was no need to push the siege tower forward at the risk of damage in a tentative outpost battle, this thing is expensive!

At the same time, the news here was also quickly delivered to Wang Ting's hands, looking at the battle report in his hand, Wang Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the situation was stable.

Time passed day by day, since the outpost battle, Wang Ting's troops should have directly found a place to camp nearby, and then ran to Xia Qi's eyelids to walk around every day as if they had completed their daily tasks, and from time to time they would suddenly attack the city, clearly consuming their energy and attracting their attention.

The whole situation is relatively simple to summarize now, and it can be explained in a few sentences, so Xia Qi focused on the opponent's siege troops, and the focus of the opponent's siege troops was undoubtedly the two siege towers and the ladder troops.

After all, Great Xia City did not have a super-large siege machine like a siege tower, nor did it have a cloud ladder force like that, because he didn't need it for the time being.

The characteristic of siege equipment such as ladder troops and siege towers is to avoid confrontation with the opposite wall, and directly achieve the purpose of occupation by climbing the opponent's wall.

And for Xia Qi, who has an eight-bull crossbow, he can directly blast the opposite city gate, and then push it all the way over, there is no need to fight in such a 'roundabout' way, not to mention that the price of the detour is not small, the height of each siege tower must be level with the city wall, just imagine, you should know how much time, resources and manpower it takes to make such a super-large siege machine.

At the same time, Xia Qi really didn't know what the specific effect of these two siege towers was, because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he simply handed over the task to Li Chuan.

As a soldier of the original Dayan, Li Chuan had obviously seen the power of the siege tower, and now he looked decent.

"Siege towers usually advance with infantry units, and the sheer size of these two siege towers allows them to attract a lot of firepower to infantry units, but in reality this is a trap."

"Trap?" The white wolf cast an inquiring glance at Li Chuan.

"Yes." Li Chuan nodded, "On that siege tower, a large area is made of bronze, and the archer's attack will not be able to penetrate that layer of bronze baffle at all, and if you concentrate fire to attack the siege tower, you will only return in vain." ”

"I actually used bronze...... What a big dog. ”

At that time, the distance was too far, and the siege tower had been left behind, and it had never been pushed up, so it was a little difficult to see the material on the surface of the two siege towers in detail, and now when he heard Li Chuan say that the surface baffle of the siege tower was actually made of bronze, Xia Qi was obviously taken aback.

This is simply a Bronze Age armored car, worthy of the old driver who has developed in the bronze rank for at least a few decades, while consuming bronze forged weapons and armor, he also saved up two armored vehicles, no wonder these two siege towers can be hidden by the royal court as a killer weapon.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he only listened to Li Chuan continue to say, "When the siege tower is pushed in front of the city wall, the erected bronze baffle will be lowered, and the soldiers hiding inside can easily rush to the top of the city wall." ”

"What about the number of people? How many soldiers can a siege tower transport? ”

"The siege tower is divided into two levels, and each floor can hold forty to fifty people."

"Those two floors are nearly a hundred people, and two siege towers can transport about two hundred enemy troops to the city wall in one go." As he spoke, Xia Qi's voice became a little solemn, and two hundred enemy troops were killed on the city wall at once, and it was a headache to think about it.

"Arrange the corresponding axe and shield soldiers on the city wall, and you should be able to cope with it." The bear spoke, his tone full of desire to kill the enemy.

After Xia Qi, Li Chuan felt that there was another person here that he couldn't figure out, but no matter what, he still had to remind him of all the things that should be reminded.

Then, I heard him speak again: "It's not that simple, there are three rows of ladders on the back of the siege tower, in other words, once the siege tower is close to the city wall, the soldiers behind will continue to climb the siege tower through the three rows of ladders, and then climb the city wall through the siege tower." ”

At this moment, it really gave the two of them a headache, and Xia Qi's brows wrinkled even more, "Can the bed crossbow penetrate the bronze baffle and destroy the siege tower?" ”

This kind of thing, in the previous siege battles, other players must have done it, and what Xia Qi needs is an answer!

"It depends on the distance, it is possible to leave obvious dents, basically after every use, the siege tower needs to be repaired, as for the direct penetration, the subordinates think it is unlikely, because the bronze baffle is very thick." While speaking, Li Chuan also made a slight gesture, which made the mood of Xia Qi and the others present instantly become heavy.

The royal court has really invested heavily in these two siege towers! The bronze baffle with such a thick brick, it is really thanks to him that the cost of these two siege towers is estimated to be several times more exaggerated than Xia Qi expected.
