Liu Tai patted Ran Liang's shoulder and said, "You have achieved the first rank today, and you have really done a beautiful job." ”

When Ran Liang saw Liu Tai come over and pat him on the shoulder, his expression inevitably showed a little excitement, and he didn't even know where to put his hands, but his eyes were a little excited:

"I only hate being driven off the city wall by the enemy, insulting the prestige of our Han army, and asking the king to punish him!"

When Liu Tai heard this, he smiled calmly, and then said with a little calmness:

"This is just the first day of our attack on Tongguan, if we take this city directly, it will inevitably be a little too underestimating Youziyuan and this Xiongguan.

Being able to force the opponent to use the Broken Dragon Stone of the Urn City on the first day, and to push you back from the city wall, at least today's attack is very meaningful and the performance is very good! ”

Ran Liang heard Liu Tai's praise, although it was clear that Liu Tai was not much older than himself, but Ran Liang was still very happy.

Liu Tai saw that Ran Liang's mood had stabilized, so he continued, "What did you encounter on the city wall that made you retreat?" ”

Ran Liang heard Liu Tai's words, and said, "The other party is also wearing fish scale armor, although it is not as strong as our armor, if the big Han knife in our hands is cut a few more times, it can damage the opponent's armor, but the opponent uses a two-handed heavy weapon in his hand, if it is smashed on the body, the soldiers will be directly shocked to vomit blood, and even fall down from the city wall when they retreat!" ”

The big Han knife is actually a bit like the prototype of the Tang knife, after all, what kind of thing is the Tang knife, Liu Tai has never seen it.

The Dahan sword is a two-handed knife, and if it weren't for the kind of shield guard holding a shield, the warriors would basically carry more than three handles on their backs.

It can't be helped, because of the sense of security that comes with being covered in armor, which allows the soldiers to let go of their hands to slash and kill when they need to.

And the long-term use of weapons on the battlefield will make the relatively sharp knives wear out at an unbelievable speed, so it is natural to prepare more weapons for backup.

"I see!" Liu Tai nodded when he heard Ran Liang's words, and then said to Xun Xuan beside him,

"Record this first, Zhao Guo is not waiting for death, but wants to struggle again!"

Although Liu Tai had already predicted that after a long time, someone would definitely find a way to crack the model of a heavily armored soldier like this.

Even if you can't crack it, how much will it be imitated, and if you accidentally kill the original product!

Anyway, if you don't want to solve it, it will definitely be a dead end.

"King, can we imitate it and use two-handed weapons?" At this time, Zhou Ping, who was beside Liu Tai, couldn't help but say.

Obviously, the matter of heavy weapons restraining heavy infantry is not shown, but as long as it is taken out, the guys who have fought the war for several years will immediately react.

Especially for Zhou Ping, accustomed to his own superiority in military equipment, he immediately thought of copying the route.

After all, even if it was the same equipment, Zhou Ping didn't think that his Han army would lose!

Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words and said calmly, "What you think is naturally a good way, after all, copying the opponent and then crushing it with more efficient industrial resources than the other party is originally our best route."

It's just that this route is a bit unsuitable for siege, the kind of two-handed heavy weapons, it is impossible to let the soldiers carry the soldiers on the city wall, with such an elite here, we have a headache! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ping couldn't help frowning.

To be honest, if it was really purely in the field, then Liu Tai's army would naturally not have any fear.

But there is a limit to the number of people who can gain a foothold on the head of the city in siege warfare, and this kind of armor in armor and armed with heavy weapons, at least here, can play a role that is a one-man affair.

Liu Taidao: "Try it with a shield and a triangular pyramid first, as long as you can get close, even if you are wearing armor, the triangular pyramid can stab people to death!" ”

It's like a pikeman against a knife soldier, as long as the weapons in the hands of the two sides can threaten each other, it's not one-sided, the weapon in your hand can't break the defense, but the opponent's weapon can smash you with a concussion, then the two sides have to fight in the end.

"Triangular pyramid?" Zhou Ping was a little dazed when he heard Liu Tai's words, this weapon had not been used much.

Liu Tai waved his hand and said calmly: "It was the little thing I asked Xie Fei to study, just to make the infantry break the armor!" ”

This kind of thing is not worth mentioning for Liu Tai, after all, he has already estimated that someone will copy his war model first, after all, the heavy cavalry is not easy to copy without horses, but the heavy infantry can still be copied if he wants to, but it just costs a little money.

"In addition to the armor, the other one is the broken dragon stone, but this kind of stone is easy to deal with, and it is generally used to break the stone by quenching it with water and fire, and it can basically solve this broken dragon stone!" Liu Tai couldn't help but take a deep breath and said calmly:

"Let's go down first to recuperate, and then hand over the daily fight to the shooting battalion and the engineering team, so that they can spend time with Tongguan!"

Liu Tai's year-old quenching to specialize in the city gate, and even specifically for the Broken Dragon Stone, has become the norm in the war.

Normally, a large brazier with red-hot grease and coal was pushed directly onto the city gate to burn down the city gate.

Because the basin is filled with oil, or coal that is burned at a very high temperature, if you splash water directly, it will cause the fire to spread, or because the temperature of the coal is too high, the heat will expand and contract, and the door will be more likely to be damaged.

Especially for the stone of broken dragon stone, under the thermal expansion and cold contraction, and then impact, the stone itself is prone to cracks, and cracks appear inside the stone, and it will break itself.

It's just that Liu Tai pays attention to science here, especially specializing in coal for a long time, so the temperature of the coal is higher, and as for the water to cool the coal, he has prepared ice water prepared with saltpeter, which ensures that this broken dragon stone will experience ice and fire.

Liu Tai spent the next time asking about the details of the battlefield in detail, and tried his best to use the information that the soldiers exchanged for their lives.

And Liu Tai is studying how to conquer Tongguan, but this does not mean that the attack on Tongguan by the Shooting Battalion and the Engineering Battalion has ended.

With the help of the turrets, the Shooting Battalion gained a condescending advantage, as well as the ability of the ballista to carry long-range fire, and then began to consciously shoot at the people on the city wall who were preparing to repair the wall, so as to exert a sniper effect.

It can be said that this kind of crossbow arrow, that is something that even a soldier wearing fish scale armor can't resist, let alone others.

And as long as someone dares to come up to this wall, this crossbow arrow will not hesitate to shoot and kill the opponent.

If there are too many people in one go, then notify the engineering battalion and let them throw stones and smash them, in short, it is to disrupt the speed of Zhao Guo's rearmament at the head of the city, whether it is a civilian worker or a soldier, if you dare to come up, you dare to kill!

Of course, such a strong crossbow shooting suppression forced Youziyuan to push out his ballista to shoot at the shooting battalion.

As long as the momentum of the opponent's ballista increased, Xie Fei decisively used the thunderbolt to invest in stones to suppress it.

After several times, Liu Tai single-handedly built a lot of turrets were destroyed, and the soldiers of the shooting battalion on it suffered losses but were not necessarily dead.

They only need to buckle their cloaks on the rope according to the procedure, and if the building is broken, take the initiative to jump down from the building and don't be caught by the east building itself, the special cloak can play a cushioning role similar to a parachute, increasing their survival probability.

Of course, there are also a lot of shooters, the ropes on the cloaks on their bodies are caught in the turrets, or they don't tie the ropes when they pick them up, and they jump down directly......

In such a situation, the crossbows of both sides shoot at each other, and Liu Tai can afford it anyway!

And the crossbowmen who are far away can't afford to consume, after all, crossbowmen are such a thing, the distance between the two sides is so close, and no one has better equipment than whom, basically shooting the target is the target will definitely die.

But this kind of mid-gate sniper really needs the courage of both sides, and the soldiers under Liu Tai's command, as long as the building does not fall, basically the soldiers of the shooting battalion are going forward and succeeding, and there is no intention of retreating at all.

And after Youziyuan's army fired several rounds at each other, and even some of the ballistas were shot, they soon became sluggish and even disappeared.

There is no way, any soldier who can operate a ballista is not cannon fodder in itself, because this is a technical class, and such a consumption speed will soon make the wanderer who does not have enough talent reserves feel that the hits of his soldiers are getting worse and worse.

However, the soldiers under Liu Tai's command are all able to do mathematics, and the two special military camps of the Shooting Battalion and the Changshui Battalion have higher mathematical requirements for the soldiers, so they can master the corresponding shooting skills faster, and naturally the threshold for supplementation is lower.

Of course, the best average quality is naturally the engineering battalion of Xie Fei, basically after the strong crossbows fired in waves or two waves from Youziyuan, someone soon calculated the approximate location of these strong crossbows, and then the thunderbolt did not hesitate to throw stones!

It was such an unpretentious confrontation that lasted until it was dark before the curtain came to a complete end, and at this time Liu Tai let the soldiers of the Shooting Battalion retreat and began to let the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion take over.

And the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion are also very simple, when they hear any movement on the city wall, or see any fire, they don't care about anything, shoot a wave of arrows first, and then say, under such a policy, it is guaranteed that the wanderer will not be able to repair much.

It can be said that after fighting from dawn until dark, You Ziyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this day would be so long.

At least on this day, after experiencing the combat effectiveness of the Han army, You Ziyuan deeply understood Liu Tai's prestige along the way.

Fortunately, this time relied on Tongguan for garrison, instead of going out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Liu Tai, even so, you Ziyuan did not expect that it was only one day, and Liu Tai's army almost knocked down Tongguan.

It can be said that the Han army surpassed its own soldiers in all aspects, whether in terms of quality, discipline, or organization.

This first day of the war is obviously just a tentative war, and the main purpose is to collect information about Tongguan, but then Liu Tai's attack is afraid that he will feel suffocated even more, and You Ziyuan feels that the road ahead is so dark!

At this time, the deputy general Zhang Tao walked over to Youziyuan with a big Han knife, and handed the big Han knife to Youziyuan:

"Captain, look at the weapons used by this pseudo-man!"

You Ziyuan took the big Han knife as he spoke, he weighed it in his hand, if he held the knife in both hands, it was actually not heavy, the whole knife body was straight and long, but it was very suitable for chopping, and it looked quite sharp.

"Is this the knife used by the Han soldiers?" You Ziyuan looked at the big Han knife in front of him, but he didn't directly use his soldier's weapon to test the knife, but said to Zhang Tao, "This is a good knife, how powerful is it?" ”

"The fish scale armor of our iron guard has been cut by this knife, and of course there are several broken knives on the city wall!" Zhang Tao said, "I tried it with the saber in my own hand, and the sword of this Han army is still sharp." ”

"Give it to the blacksmith and let them copy it!" You Ziyuan said to Zhang Tao, "What about the armor of the Han army?" ”

"Picked up the armor of several Han soldiers who were stoned to death by the lance, and their armor is indeed stronger than ours.

If an ordinary spear is stabbed up, not only will it be a little weak, but at most it will be a few scales off the fish scale armor.

If it is the all-iron armor of those soldiers who are pressed by the broken dragon stone, sometimes the force is too great, and the spear head will crack by itself! ”

"Are the weapons and equipment so much stronger than us!" You Ziyuan frowned when he heard Zhang Tao's words and said, "Can you copy it?" ”

When encountering good things, You Ziyuan naturally has to take the initiative to learn, at least with Tong Guan on the side, You Ziyuan feels that he can still compete with Liu Tai for a long time, in this case, You Ziyuan still wants to learn more and evolve more.

"Our iron is basically used to forge those elites, and we don't have time to make this!" Zhang Tao shook his head and said,

"And this thing looks the same as what we built, but we don't know the process inside at all, it's not something that can be studied in a short period of time, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how to deal with the opponent's ballista and thunderbolt!"

"The ballistas and thunderbolts of Liu Tai's army have been imposed, and they are stronger than ours in terms of accuracy, power, and range.

Especially in this kind of pure fighting, after a few rounds, the opposing soldiers still went forward one after another, but our soldiers obviously did not dare to go up again.

In such a confrontation, it is easy for the opponent to fight stronger and stronger, and we fall into a passive situation! ”

You Ziyuan looked at Zhang Tao, sighed and said, "If Liu Tai comes to attack, be ready to abandon the urn city!" ”

"Abandon the Urn City?!" Hearing You Ziyuan's words, Zhang Tao couldn't help but be surprised, "It's only been a long time!" ”

"Liu Tai is not an easy person, and now he has used a strong crossbow and a thunderbolt to suppress us to repair the urn city, and he is obviously prepared.

The next attack, whether it is the Broken Dragon Stone or the Iron Guard I have exposed, I am afraid that it will be targeted.

Let's build a second line of defense first! The wanderer worried.

Faced with You Ziyuan's worries, Zhang Tao didn't say much.

After all, Liu Tai's siege momentum today made Zhang Tao also understand that if it wasn't for You Ziyuan who took the opportunity to send the ironclad guards up today, and waited until the urn city was broken, and the city wall with almost no preparation was broken again, then this Tongguan would probably become a joke.

And on the first day of the outbreak of direct war between the two sides, it soon began to snow in the northern sky, and the early winter of this year came a little early, which was naturally a good thing for the defenders of the city.

Seeing this scene, You Ziyuan was even more pleased and said, "God, you are on my side!" ”
