"No!" The commander of the scout battalion shouted his orders.

"Second, the storming chariots, ladders, bows and crossbows of the Chengzhou camp must be inspected and repaired within twenty years, and at the same time, the craftsmen sent by Luoyi Shangfang will be integrated into the camp, and it will be determined that at least five craftsmen will follow the first large weapon at any time, and this order will be undertaken by General Gongsun Yu."

"No!" Gongsun Yu, who is good at fortifications, solemnly received the order.

"Third, all the infantry troops have gone out this time. Within a month, it is necessary to be proficient in all kinds of siege weapons, and at least three skilled soldiers must be assigned to each large weapon to ensure that they can take turns to attack, and this order will be assigned to the infantry commander Qiang Xing."

"No!" Hearing that all the infantry troops had gone on the march, the infantry general Qiang Xing was extremely excited, and his voice was extremely anxious.

"Fourth, in this war, the troops will be sent within 100,000, and each army must select the elite to fight within 20 days, and the whole army will be selected at that time, and whoever is the most prepared will go to war."

"No!" All the generals roared in unison, and the hall buzzed and trembled. The words of the Son of Heaven at the Luoyi celebration banquet had spread all over the barracks, and as soon as they heard that they were going to be selected to participate in the war, the generals first rushed to their blood, for fear that they would be left in the barracks and could not participate in the war.

After the gathering, the Chengzhou camp immediately became nervous and busy, and the military lights were also bright at night.

The cavalry battalions were busy inspecting the horses, and more than a dozen animal doctors were sweating profusely. The knights were extremely nervous, and followed the animal doctor around, for fear that their horses would be pressed by the animal doctor with a big red wooden seal with the word "disease".

Then inspect the harness and weapons, such as the scales and iron armor of the horse's body, the armor of the horse's head, the bridle with stirrups, the bow and arrow, and the long sword, all of which must be inspected by the barracks engineer one by one, and if there is a slight flaw or dark injury, it will be immediately replaced or sent to the craftsman's camp for repair.

In the end, the knights were selected, and those who had not recovered from their injuries were all laid off and left in the camp for treatment, and the non-general knights under the age of 20 and over 40 were also left in the camp, and the remaining strong knights were evaluated and selected one by one. However, none of the knights were willing to stay in the camp, and they were so impassioned that the cavalry commander Boyan frowned.

The battalions of the infantry army were a different busy scene: all kinds of large siege weapons were dragged out of the armory, the engineers spoke, the soldiers and equipment were reorganized, and the drills were repeated, and they tossed and turned without darkness and confusion. At the same time, all kinds of chariots and horses supervised by Rongyi also came, rushing cars, building carts, bows and crossbows and other siege equipment were transported in an endless stream, and two hundred master craftsmen from Luoyi Shangfang also arrived with the car, and the entire Chengzhou camp was steaming, as hot as a hot summer.

This time, Wei He personally sat in charge of the infantry army and checked whether the infantry army was really proficient in various large-scale equipment one by one.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, wars were mostly fought in the form of decisive battles in the suburbs, and there were few siege battles. Because of this situation, ordinary armies do not carry large-scale siege equipment in field battles, so that the Zhou army must be unfamiliar with large-scale siege equipment.

According to King Zhou Li's strategy of "destroying his country", not only to capture the capital of Hubei, but also to take all the cities of Hubei, so it is a large-scale siege war. Wei He had a keen insight into war, and took advantage of his trip to Luoyi to quickly find out the base of the siege equipment of the national capital. It was precisely in his heart that Wei He began to carefully plan the battle to destroy Hubei.

At present, the first thing that Weihe has to solve is that the infantry soldiers must be fully proficient in these long-lost large-scale equipment. The difficulty lies not in the technique, but in the coordination. Because of these instruments, except for the arm crossbow and the kick crossbow, which are operated by individual soldiers, each of the rest is dozens of hundreds of people working together, but if it is messy, it will lose its power.

A rushing cart, with at least 100 soldiers on the cart and the soldiers charging in the cart; A large stone throwing machine requires more than 80 people to pull the rope violently at the same time in an instant, plus stone transportation and protection, almost two teams of 100 people. And so on, if there is no strict drill, it will definitely be tiring, and maybe it will also nest the combat strength of the army.

Wei He knew in his heart that since the training of Kui Duoyou, the Chengzhou battalion has attached great importance to training the tactics of formation and coordination. The fundamental reason for this lies in the fact that the Eighth Division of Chengzhou was actually a patchwork of troops from the vassal states of the Central Plains, and it was necessary to form a coordinated battle as a whole in order to gradually form a cohesive combat force. It is precisely because of this tradition that it is now possible to train the infantry army in a set of effective siege tactics within a month, centering on large equipment.

Despite this, Wei He still visited the infantry in person, personally watched and did it, carefully evaluated the power of the first sharp weapon, and worked with the soldiers

Discuss how to do better. Wei He has been immersed in the army for many years, and almost every skill, tactic, and tactic of the infantry and cavalry is perfect, and he is also gifted and has a calm personality.

It is precisely for this reason that although Wei He is young, he has won the respect and trust of the soldiers in the army. He personally sat in charge, and the soldiers were not only not restrained, but their morale was even higher.

The school yard is full of all kinds of large-scale sharp weapons, made of copper and iron, which is really magnificent.

The first is to rush the car. This is an ancient siege machine. When the Western Zhou Dynasty was a prince of Yin Shang, King Wen of Zhou attacked the Chongshi state and used a rushing chariot to conquer the fortified stone city. The chariot was actually a kind of deformed chariot, which was generally made of iron or copper cast canopies, iron cast wheels, and iron wheels on the bottom, which were pushed by armor and violently attacked the city walls.

The second is the cocoon car. The cocoon car is the lookout car used during the siege of the city, the roof of the car is high and the watchtower is high, like a bird's nest, and the people of the time call it "nest car". Later generations of the General Dictionary. Soldier's Codex. The purpose of the nest car shape system recorded in the chapter of "Siege Equipment" is: "Use an eight-wheeled chariot to climb a high pole on a tree, put a roller on the pole, and use a rope to pull the head of the pole on the roof, so as to peek into the city." The slab house is four feet square and nine feet high, and it is not clothed on all sides, so that the car can advance and retreat, and go around the city." In fact, it is a siege command vehicle.

In addition to the nest car, it is more expected to be a building car. The watchtower car is slightly shorter, about five or six zhang high, but the shape is simple, only set up a high pole on four huge iron wheels, and the top of the pole can be equipped with a fixed watchtower. Ordinary small castles, such watchcars are enough to look down and give orders to the besieging army.

The third is the stone machine. Its shape is similar to the orange tree of hanging water by the well, the wooden pillar of about three zhang high is buried in the ground, or erected on the rubble frame, the top of the wooden pillar is extremely elastic tip material, less than two tips, more than twelve tips, the more tip material, the heavier and farther the hair stone.

"Fan Li's Art of War" has a cloud: "Flying stones, weighing twelve catties, are two hundred steps for the machine." This is the single-tip stone machine and the double-tip stone machine. In actual combat, dozens of people had to be used for the single-tip stone-sending machine, and more than 100 people were used for the double-tip to pull the rope violently, shoot out the large stone installed on the tip of the long pole, and smash it into the city wall or the defenders.
