Because of the memory of his previous life, Li Shen always believed that siege warfare was actually to climb the opponent's city wall, crash open the city gate at the bottom, and then rush in and start a street fight, or the other party surrendered and it was over.

Because this is how it is performed in TV series and novels.

But when Li Shen arrived at the real battlefield, he realized that it was not like that at all.

When Li Shen saw this westernmost fortress of Goguryeo, he knew that it was not so simple.

"Uncle Huang, isn't the siege battle very troublesome." Li Shen asked.

"Of course, especially this kind of important city, fortunately, my Datang is well-equipped and has a large number of people, if my Datang guards this city, 50,000 horses can withstand 150,000 enemies without much effort."

Li Daozong replied.

Li Shen glanced at the city wall in front of him again, and saw that there was a three-story building on the city wall, and many small windows were densely arranged on it.

This is the Arrow Tower, where countless arrows and feathers are shot with the windows open during the defense of the city.

The city wall must be about five zhang long, and even if it is different from the weights and measures of later generations, it must be more than ten meters.

Under the city are all kinds of fortifications, what sheep and horse walls, tiger falls, all kinds of wooden forks, wood sharpened and inserted into the ground,

It's dense, and the cost of making it all wood is low anyway, so I don't know if there are traps or anything like that.

And the most terrible thing is that the four gates of Wuliluo have urn cities, that is, they are setting a circle outside the city gates.

That is to say, even if you try to storm the city gates, it is useless, and you will find the defenders of the city standing on the city walls with their feet full, and they are staring at you in the urn like fat.

The next thing is to shoot with a bow and arrow, and carry all kinds of private goods: throw down some big stones, pour some hot oil or something. It was too much like cooking, and it was terrible.

And even if you occupy all the city walls and finally reach the city gate, it is very troublesome to open the gate, according to Li Daozong, the city gate has not yet broken through, and the defending side has already gone down to the Xuanmen and dropped the jack gate.

The Xuanmen that Li Daozong said is the city gate that Li Shen had seen on TV in his previous life, the kind with a lot of rivets nailed on it.

But the thickness is not the same as on TV, this kind of gate is a heavy wooden gate that can only be pushed by several people.

Behind the back is the jack gate, the jack gate is a real piece, some are made of a large stone slab, more than a foot thick.

Some of them are thick wooden boards with thick iron sheets, all of which are hung up by a winch, and when the rope is cut when defending the city, the jack gate automatically falls.

It can only be hit with a battering ram, a group of Hercules, shouting slogans, keep hitting until it is broken.

And inside the gates, you don't know what is waiting for you, whether it be hot oil, burning coal, or a race car.

After listening to Li Daozong's detailed explanation, Li Shen and Li Chengqian realized that fighting a war is really an art.

At that time, Li Shimin fought in the north and south, and it was not easy to quell the rebellion everywhere.

"Marshal, if you look carefully, the siege battle on the city wall is the most difficult, and the road to the city wall is also paved with flesh and blood." Li Daozong said expressionlessly,

He has followed Li Shimin to fight for so many years, and he has never seen any scenes, and he is used to it.

"Uncle Huang, how many people do we estimate to lose this time?" Li Chengqian asked.

"If it goes well, there are almost more than 20,000 people, if it doesn't go well, ......." Li Daozong did not say, the number does not mean anything.

I'm grass, Li Shen has grown his mouth, isn't this filling with people.

"It depends on how many arrows and rolling stones and oil the other party has. If it's more, it's troublesome, and if it's less, it's smoother. Li Daozong explained.

"No, there are too many dead. You can't attack so hard. Li Shen said suddenly.

"King Ji, this is already good, we are well equipped, if it is a Turk, 200,000 troops will not be able to capture this city." Li Daozong said. He felt that Li Shen was still young and too young to be a woman's kindness.

"Uncle Huang, we don't need to fight them to the death, our plan is to slowly encroach and retain our vitality." Li Shen said to Li Daozong.

This attack on one city will kill 20,000, and there are so many cities, no wonder the millions of troops of the former Sui have not been defeated.

"But under the military order, the departments are about to reach the combat position, and it is absolutely impossible to stop it." Military orders are like mountains, and it is not that they will be revoked if they are revoked.

Li Shen thought about it and said to Xue Rengui;

"Rengui, take out half of the fire oil bombs we brought, use a strong crossbow and trebuchet to launch them, and tell the generals of the three sides not to attack the city first, this thing is poisonous after burning, don't be poisoned by your own things.

After waiting for the marshal's order, he is attacking the city, regardless of the city walls or the city, burn it to him, and hit their spirit. ”

Originally, these things he took were intended for emergency use, but now it seems that it is worth exchanging half for fewer deaths.

If something is gone, it can be transported, but if a person is gone, it is really gone. (Tomato novels are free to read.) ）

Didn't imperialist wars always be bombarded in the air first, then bombed by artillery, and finally passed?

"Tenth brother, you still brought oil bombs?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Hehe, my oil bomb is different from theirs, my one is made of paraffin water, and it is not easy to extinguish when burned, but the gas after burning is poisonous.

Don't they also have oil bombs, so let's burn them first, in case the oil burns them too.

And inside the city, even if it can only be burned to the edge of the city wall, what is the use of their weapons and equipment in case it burns?

Or if we burn down the city, will we save trouble? ”

Li Shen fantasized he.

"It is definitely impossible to burn the city, but it is really possible to burn some utensils with this stone grease water, so do what King Ji said,

Just like King Ji said, we are not in a hurry anyway. The Treasure King can't send troops to arrive in a moment. Li Daozong also agreed with Li Shen's approach,

At the very least, it can also boost the momentum of our army and extinguish their prestige.

Soon, Xue Rengui sent two truckloads of fire oil bombs to the three parties, both of which were packed in small jars.

and told Li Shen's words to the generals.

Li Tao and Qiu Xiaozhong were mainly attacking the west, that is, the city gate in front of Li Shen.

When Li Tao knew about the plan, he also felt that he could give it a try, mainly because the distance between their catapult and the strong crossbow was very long.

This has all been transformed by Li Shen's research institute.

Li Tao did not wait for any orders, and according to the plan, the heavy shield soldiers moved forward, followed by catapults and crossbows.

Calculate the killing distance of the opponent's arrow feathers, and stay outside the killing distance. Began to order people to start shooting at the opponent's arrow tower with a strong crossbow tied to fire oil shells.

(Actually,I checked some related.,The ancient siege is really a meat grinder.,In this chapter, I just briefly told the difficulty.,

It's actually ten times harder. Especially in the capital, if it is an elite defender, it will not be able to attack it at all, unless it is several times more than ten times the number of people.

Finally, to explain, there are some other things that are delayed, and I'm already sleepy after updating the three chapters, so I owe one chapter and pay it back later. Sleep)
