It is said that the tens of thousands of Jinling iron horses, pushing the siege of the city, as well as the ladder car, quickly rushed to the moat, everyone was amazed, only to see the overwhelming stone rain, and smashed up from below. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Gang found that more than 100 catapults behind him were filled with big stones, and after an order, another shower of stone rain flew down the city tower.

The speed of the siege, as well as the well-trained scheduling, really made Fan Gang a little embarrassed, just raised his head, but saw the stones flying from the sky, the officers and soldiers around him fell to the ground, quickly covered their heads with their hands, and shouted loudly: "Open the cannon! Shoot back with the enemy! Wait for the enemy to approach, shoot with a bow and arrow." ”

I only heard the sound of artillery fire, this artillery fire in the enemy, blossomed and bore fruit, many enemy troops were blown out, the enemy behind, rushed forward again, re-pushed the cart, battering ram, ladder, Hao bridge, forward and then towards the moat.

This battering ram, also known as a battering ram, is a blunt weapon used in ancient times to hit the city gate and city wall to destroy the enemy city and achieve siege victory. It is usually fixed to a four-wheeled vehicle by a huge pile, and the wall or gate is impacted through the pile head with huge inertia to achieve the purpose of breaking through the city.

Chongche: also called "Linchong" or "opposite building", is a kind of siege tower that is armored, that is, the main siege weapon that destroys the city wall or city gate with the force of collision, and belongs to the ancient Chinese siege equipment.

Linchong Lu bus is a kind of siege tower with eight wheels and five floors high. The lowest level is the soldiers who push the cart forward, and the other four layers are filled with siege soldiers. The car is about 12 meters high, 6 meters wide and 8 meters long.

The chariot uses its height to shoot directly into the castle from the car, and it can also be used to approach the city wall, destroy the female wall (battlement wall), and directly attack the guards on the city wall. In addition to being equipped with a variety of long weapons, the car is often loaded with heavy weapons such as crossbows and stone cannons.

A ladder is a tool for climbing city walls. Legend has it that the ladder was invented by the craftsman Lu Ban in the Spring and Autumn Period, in fact, it was as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and it was named "Hook Yuan" at that time. The ladder is composed of three parts: wheel, ladder body and hook. The ladder body can be lifted up and down, and carried and leaned on the city wall by manpower; there is a hook at the top of the ladder to hook the edge of the city; there are wheels under the ladder body, which can be moved. The ladder of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly improved compared with the Warring States Period: the bottom frame of the ladder is made of wood as a bed, six wheels are placed below, the ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder, and a pair of rollers are installed at the top, and when climbing the city, the ladder can move up and down freely along the city wall, and no longer need to be carried on the shoulder. At the same time, because the main ladder adopts a fixed device, the ladder procedure is simplified, and the ladder time is shortened, and the army only needs to stop the main ladder under the city when attacking the city, and then the auxiliary ladder is erected on the main ladder, so that it can "sleep on the city", thus reducing the danger and difficulty of erecting the ladder in front of the enemy. In addition, since the ladder does not come into contact with the edge of the castle too early before ascending the castle, it can also avoid the destruction of the defenders.

There were many ways to siege the city in ancient times, but most of them were based on the premise of quickly ascending the city, and the ladder must be bold, fast, and take advantage of the situation to enter the city. Therefore, there are a variety of light and simple flying ladders commonly used, such as "avoiding the wooden flying ladder", "tiptoeing flying ladder", "bamboo flying ladder", the shape is slightly different, but they are all light and practical.

The length of the bridge is subject to Hao, there are two big wheels in front of the bridge, and there are two small wheels behind it. If it is wide, then use a folding bridge, that is, connect the two bridges, and there is a hinge in the middle, and the usage is the same.

Catapult has been used in the Spring and Autumn Period, catapult is a large manpower long-range weapon that uses the principle of lever to throw stone projectiles, and its appearance is the progress of technology and the need of war. The original structure of the catapult was very simple, a huge lever, the long end was a leather holster or wooden basket loaded with stones, the short end was tied to dozens of ropes, when the order was given, dozens of people pulled the rope at the same time, using the principle of the lever to throw the stones, so as to achieve the effect of attack.

I saw that these tens of thousands of iron horsemen took the lead in pushing the trench bridge to the moat, and the bows and arrows at the mouth of the city fell down one after another, and for a time the arrows fell into the river, and the blood immediately stained the river red.

The artillery fire on the tower of this city was continuous, firing at the enemy under the city, only to see the soil flying and the stones splashed, and a lot of Jinling iron horsemen were smashed into the sky, but there was a sound of gold behind them, and they put down these wooden carts and fled.

Xie En put away the order flag in his hand, ran to Zhu Zaixiong's side, bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, this hard attack is not good, the casualties are too great, it is better to bury the pot and cook first, and wait for a good rest, how about a night attack at night?"

"Well, let's decide like this! I have a headache, go back to the tent to rest first, these friends of Dongying, treat them well, and there are still useful places in the back, don't neglect the distinguished guests. Zhu Zaixiong rubbed his temples, turned around and went into the tent.

After the moon set in the West Mountain, this Chen Zhi took more than 80 Jinyi guards and hurried all the way to the inner city upstairs, this Fan Bao recognized the pine and cypress, so he immediately greeted him, patted his shoulder and asked: "Brother! Why did you get a job in Jinyiwei? This matter is really impressive after three days!"

Songbai was taken to the side by Fan Bao, Chen Zhi waved his hand and smiled, signaling him to go over and chat first, and he took his subordinates and stomped away.

I saw this Fan Gang, whose face was covered with dust, was sitting under the wall of the city's stomping, snoring, and wiping a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

His subordinates just wanted to wake up this Fan Gang, Chen Zhi waved his hand to stop his subordinates, came to the position of the stomping mouth, and looked out of the city, only to see the three thousand iron horsemen of Jinling, singing and dancing around the bonfire, and there were actually bold officers and soldiers, coming to the moat in this remote place to get water, which was not at all like the scene of war confrontation.

This may be a natural reaction, Fan Gang noticed that something was wrong around him, so he immediately opened his eyes, and saw that it was Chen Zhi, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, so he immediately stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Guo, why did you come here?

Chen Zhi waved his right hand, motioned for him to sit down, pointed to the enemy troops outside the city, and stammered a little and asked, "I heard that the enemy who came here is the guard who accompanied the capital Jinling, what is going on?"

Fan Gang was about to stand up, Chen Zhi squatted down, pressed it to the ground, patted his shoulder and said: "It's okay, this great enemy is now, don't worry too much about etiquette, besides, my management is only a hundred households, adults don't have to be like this! ”

Fan Gang didn't have much courtesy, his head leaned against the wall, twisted his sour neck, and sighed and said: "Originally, I was also strange, and a report was sent to the public, saying that it was the southeast sea area, a large number of Japanese invaders in four ways, this guard Zhai Hu believed it was true, and opened the door for them to enter the city, I tried to dissuade them several times to no avail, so I immediately retreated to the inner city, sure enough, in half an hour, the outer city had no resistance, so it was surrendered to this group of thieves. ”

"That is to say, this siege army is the guard of Jinling, so bold, what does this Jinling King Zhu Zaixiong want? Could it be that he is rebelling?" Chen Zhi looked puzzled, still not daring to believe the facts in front of him.

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the city, and everyone poked their heads out, only to see a group of widows, laughing and chasing after a woman, and seeing the woman fall to the ground, everyone smiled lewdly and surrounded her......
