Chapter 503

Today's city wall is not as hard as iron as people think, let alone stacked with regular boulders. It uses materials such as stone, yellow mud, glutinous rice, glutinous rice juice and lime. Cheng'an county is only a remote county in the north. Where can the city wall be hard?

It's no problem to block ordinary attacks, but it's a little stretched in the face of Jiang Pengji's improved riprap machine.

In theory, even the city wall that went to the capital in those years could smash a hole, let alone the city wall of Anxian county. Although the city wall is strong, the power of "heavenly envoy" is greater than expected.

The demolition team is not so cruel!

No one except Jiang Pengji, Zhang Ping and the audience in the live studio knew that they had such great power.

[it's five o'clock today]: Maddy, the anchor's riprap truck always reminds my baby of the Xiangyang cannon used when Mongolia attacked Xiangyang City. It's also a counterweight catapult... It's said that the Xiangyang cannon has great power and can hit a deep pit more than two meters deep on the ground

[this is the first watch]: eh, isn't the prototype of the anchor riprap truck Xiangyang gun?

[a leaf makes a boat]: not very clear. I watched the live broadcast in those days. The anchor was changed on the existing basis. Anyway, liberal arts students can't understand such complex design drawings. They only know that the anchor talked with Zhang Ping of the Mohist School for a long time

Jiang LongQin calmly commanded the riprap truck to project five wheels. The city wall has become riddled with holes, and the Qingyi army on the wall has suffered heavy casualties. They lack enough bows and arrows, and lose the powerful terrain of the commanding height, so they can't make effective resistance to the charge at the same time.

Jiang Pengji ordered the riprap truck to suspend the casting, issued several military orders one after another, and more than ten lifting ladders were pushed out of the military array.

The ladder in this era is only a relatively strong and long ladder, which itself does not have the function of protecting the siege vanguard.

You should know that in a siege war, the loss of the siege party is often greater than that of the defenders, because if the siege party wants to get close to the city wall, it must put itself within the attack range of the defenders. The other party occupies a geographical advantage. The siege party often needs to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, set up a ladder, and then forcibly attack the city wall or break the city gate. The death and injury rate is naturally very high.

Of course, if the siege side chooses to dig a tunnel and sneak into the city, it's another matter.

She is the idea of destroying the city with violence, so she is too lazy to let people be voles to dig tunnels.

When Jiang Pengji made the ladder, she referred to the existing materials and documents in the world and made her ladder on this basis.

There is a roller made of round hardwood under the lifting ladder, which can be used as a solid tire to facilitate the movement of the whole ladder.

As for why we should create a lifting function?

She has two considerations.

For one thing, the target of the ladder is too large, which is easy to arouse the vigilance of enemy scouts and reveal their own military secrets. If the ladder can be folded, the possibility of exposure will be greatly reduced. The city guard thinks she has no siege equipment, so she may take it lightly.

Secondly, the height of the city walls is not the same throughout the era. Some of the city walls are towering and spectacular. For example, in the former capital city, some of the city walls are just mounds higher than the wall. The height of the elevator can be adjusted according to the situation of the city wall.

In addition to these details, the biggest breakthrough is the basic structure of the ladder, which can be used for Tibetans.

When pushing the ladder, soldiers can hide inside or under the ladder. They can use heavy shields to resist the attack on the city wall. With shelter, even if the enemy shoots with arrows and rain, the soldiers who push the ladder can still successfully put the ladder on the city wall.

The Qingyi army of the city wall has been cleaned up for a wave, and the successors have not had time to supplement, so the danger of climbing the city is the least at this moment.

She issued a military order, and the horn sounded again with different rhythms.

The infantry of the pioneer battalion who were full of war spirit climbed the ladder first and jumped faster than monkeys one by one.

Who doesn't want to make a contribution?

Especially when they see that the women's camp is more agile than them, can the men's face be seen if they don't work hard?

It was a little late when the Qingyi army sent people to support. I saw those soldiers in leather armor draw out their big knives and cut people.

There was a scuffle on the city wall, and more and more soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of cloud ladders, gradually taking advantage of the number of people.

Although the Qingyi army has no leader, there are still many small leaders.

Now it's too late to escape. Only by trying to guard the gate and keep the enemy out as much as possible can they have a chance of survival.

People with a clear eye can see that in a short time, the number of troops that can come up by more than a dozen ladders is always limited. As long as they keep the city gate intact and concentrate their forces on the people on the city wall, the Qingyi army may not be able to keep Cheng'an County... Well, they think very beautiful.

Dozens of soldiers were carrying a log held by three people, ready to knock open the closed gate.

"One... Two... Three!"

"One... Two... Three!"

"One... Two... Three!"

The soldiers recited the numbers silently and worked hard together when they counted to three.

Before, the riprap truck smashed the city wall, which also affected the city gate to some extent. After the soldiers hit the city gate more than ten times, the city gate broke open, revealing more than 100 Qingyi troops and all kinds of obstacles behind the gate. The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought at the city gate, and there was a constant sound of fighting.

Blood splashed and broken limbs were everywhere.

The outflow of blood gathered into a gurgling stream, like a winding red snake.

In the first World War at the city gate, the Qingyi army was defeated and could not form an effective resistance and attack.

Soldiers attacked the city gate, and dozens of strange roller chariots came in handy.

Those chariots looked very simple. Lift the shelter hanging on them to reveal their true appearance.

Twenty one seven or eight foot long spears were inserted in the front of the chariot, with extremely sharp tops and sharp short blades on both sides.

The soldiers retreated and ordered their comrades in the rear to push the chariot to the front of the team and rush into the city.

This kind of chariot is specially used for roadway warfare after breaking the city. It is like a hedgehog with sharp thorns. It is difficult for the enemy to get close.

The Qingyi army has no head. Those little heads can't even escape. Where will they go to the battlefield to organize them to resist effectively?

The soldiers on Jiang Pengji's side first broke through the high wall outside and pushed all the way to the inner city like cutting vegetables and tofu. There was a blood path along the road. The Qingyi army ran away when they saw people, and even stepped on a place. Her face was full of fear and despair.

Compared with the Tsing Yi army who had not had enough to eat for many days, Jiang Pengji did not treat her army badly.

No matter how good the food is, at least no one will tighten their belts and go hungry to the battlefield.

Meng Hun had not seen blood for a long time. When the city was broken, he led people to rush ahead.

Unwilling to be outdone, Li Yun rushed into the city gate of Cheng'an County on his horse and killed many fleeing Qingyi troops by virtue of his dexterity. He waved a silver gun countless times and blew up dazzling blood flowers, which dyed the white horse under his crotch into a "red horse".

Jiang Pengji was ready to move. However, she had two pairs of eyes staring at her. She had the posture that if she dared to kill her, they would die and show her.
