Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 fierce battle
Under the dawn light, Sun Ce started the first round of siege from the east gate.

With the car in front and the ants behind, eight ladders slowly pushed forward in the center of the military formation...

The structure of the rush vehicle at this time was also very simple. There were two rows of wheels underneath, with huge heavy wood on top, and a roof to resist arrows on the top. Soldiers pushed it forward on both sides. It was mainly used for direct Crash against city walls and gates.

In today's siege warfare, there are basically only two offensive ideas on the battlefield: climbing the wall and breaking down the door.

Although Jinglan appeared during the Warring States Period, it did not become popular.

Jinglan's fighting idea is to erect tall, movable arrow towers and push them within a stone's throw of the city wall, so that the siege team can also arrange soldiers to shoot arrows from high places and recover some of the defenders' long-range attacks. Advantage.

The engineering difficulty is much higher than that of the rush car and the ladder, and it is easy to be destroyed, which is not as common as the first two.

In comparison, Lu Gong's car should be regarded as an advancement of Jinglan - a larger mobile device that strives to be as high as the city tower or even higher, and has higher requirements for sturdiness than Jinglan, and can be pushed directly to the city wall. Let the attacking party face-to-face with the city wall defenders to engage in platform battles, greatly weakening the advantages of the city wall, and omitting the process of ants attaching and climbing ladders.

However, although the "Lv Gongcha" is named after Jiang Ziya, it is actually a siege equipment that only existed in the Song Dynasty. It became common only in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still in Bai Tu's technology tree...

Lu Kang also let Bai Tu see how great the defender's popular support can be!
During the Battle of Qu'a, Bai Tu also relied on his wolf fangs to fight off the famous general Zhang Xun's [-] troops, dragging them out of their mental preparations for a war of attrition.

However, in comparison, when Bai Tu was first stationed in Qu'a, he had not received many favors and had no good policies. As a defender, he only had the advantages of the city wall itself and equipment.

But now in Shucheng, not only Minyong is on the wall, but you can also see the same "Flying Yaksha". Compared with when it was installed in Qu'a, the style of painting is slightly different - put together, it feels like parallel imports and original factory. .

And Baitu discovered that after installing Feitian Yasha in Shucheng, it is not only stronger and more powerful, but also has improved defensive performance, and even... it is more labor-saving to operate!
The racing car, which is famous for its simple structure and strong durability, was hit by Feitian Yaksha when it came to the city. Six or seven times out of ten, the axle would break. In more serious cases, it would break down on the spot and it could no longer be pushed.

Such heavy siege equipment does not need to be completely destroyed, as long as it cannot move freely...

Lu Kang even ignored the rush car at first, and only "incidentally" destroyed the rush car below when attacking the enemy troops surrounded by ants.

After all, in this world, the strength of a city wall is not only related to its architectural structure and materials, but also to the hearts of the people—the strength of a city lies in both danger and virtue!

It was like when a car crashed into the city wall of Shucheng, it was obviously just an ordinary city wall with earth and stone structure, Baitu could clearly see that at the moment of being hit, a layer of light golden barrier emerged, repeatedly The impact is greatly weakened...

It is said that this is the "people's heart".

Baitu: ...

To this, Bai Tu could only convince himself to adapt - this world not only had war horses, mechas, and castle princesses that seemed to be black technology, but at the same time, the military commanders themselves had unscientific power, and even people's hearts and other things could actually be manifested. ?
In Bai Tu's eyes, there are at least two systems here that should not exist in agricultural civilization. However, because for the aborigines here, this situation has been "like this since ancient times", so naturally they will not feel it. What a surprise.

And this is not what the current white picture can explore!
At the same time, Sun Cejun also let Bai Tu see what an elite soldier is - Bingzhou Cavalry is also an elite soldier, but as "one of his own", Bai Tu cannot directly feel his edge.

I saw that after the "Flying Yaksha" was smashed down, Sun Ce's elite troops were not like the Huainan Army under Zhang Xun before. They basically dispersed in a rush and cowered in the face of every spike. Although there were also casualties, there were many A warrior who rushes forward to attack bravely.

If it weren't for the fact that the "Flying Yaksha" was now used as a defensive weapon and enjoyed a defensive bonus, several might have been destroyed in one round trip.

Even when they discovered that the speed of the "Flying Yaksha" was far beyond imagination, some military lieutenants and generals jumped on the tree one by one, and even climbed up the rope of the tree to get up!

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the sun rose from the east. For the soldiers guarding the city, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, which slightly affected their performance.

It was at this moment that a "Flying Yaksha" was lifted up, and a green figure jumped up from below. After climbing the city wall, he saw it and killed several civilian warriors who were operating the windlass. !
I saw that it was a lieutenant colonel in green armor who had been hugged under the "Flying Yaksha"'s arms, and was brought up with him...

The green-armored captain already had a gilt armor. He didn't look too old, about thirty years old, with a slight beard.

However, he was very brave. After being the first to climb the city wall, he brandished a sword with a ring head, making it difficult for the surrounding defenders to get close.

Because the green armor was guarding the wall with an unyielding attitude, the surrounding ants' progress in climbing and ascending the ladder also improved a lot.

"Lord, please step back." Taishi Ci reminded Bai Tu before facing the green-armored general.

Naturally, Bai Tu would not show off. Without Tai Shi Ci by his side, he immediately felt a little frightened. However, he still said calmly: "Zijing, come to my side and I will protect you!" Stand out your armored chest.

Hearing this, Lu Su twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally—although Bai Tu had a battle armor, and he didn't, Lu Su still felt that Bai Tu might not be better at fighting than himself.

Lu Su had learned salvo shooting since he was a child, and he was proficient in bow and horse. Usually, three or five ordinary soldiers might not be able to get close to him, but Bai Tu... just had stronger strength and awakened the soldier talisman!

Generally speaking, if one of the official seal and the military talisman is awakened, it will be difficult to awaken the other. Otherwise, there would not be so few people who have both the talisman.

Bai Tu usually doesn't wear this wood and stone armor, but on the battlefield, Bai Tu won't be careless. His image and other things are not as important as his life.

Bai Tu's military talismans were just ordinary wood and stone military talismans, with no back patterns. Naturally, the battle armor was just an ordinary auxiliary exoskeleton style, but... it happened to have two feathers on its head, which were very similar to Lu Lingqi's and Lu Bu's.

That's right, it's the feathers. Bai Tu will not admit that his feathers look more like rabbit ears...

Although the green-armored general was brave, he was no match for Taishi Ci. After three or five rounds, he was shot in the chest by Taishi Ci. He still wanted to hug Taishi Ci's spear until he died, but he was thrown off the tower by Taishi Ci. , and knocked down several more enemy soldiers who were about to climb up.

At the same time, Taishi Ci kicked the uncontrolled windlass, causing the flying Yaksha in this section to fall down again...

The siege of the city continued until the sun was over the top. Sun Ce felt that his side was slightly dazzled, so he called for gold and retreated his troops.

In addition to the green-armored general's one, there were two other successful climbs, but he failed to maintain them.

After the First World War, Sun Ce's army left more than a thousand "corpses" under the city, most of which were new soldiers recruited in Huainan. The city defenders also lost more than 500 people, but most of them were civilian warriors transformed from service workers...
