Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 112 Orthodox ancient siege warfare

The army in front of Dingtao City was assembled, but at this moment, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky. Looking at the situation, it was afraid that it would rain soon.

"As expected, it seems that the situation is in our favor!" Cheng Yu looked at the sky, "Feng Xiao was so accurate that he could predict that there will be rain today!"

"Woo meow..." Because of Cheng Yu, everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Guo Jia's side, who was extremely shy.

"Feng Xiao, you actually know the weather forecast?" Wang Yong stepped forward and patted her on the head lightly.He thought that the only villager Zhuge could do this... wait a minute, he can't say whether he is a villager or a villager...cough...didn't expect Guo Jia to do it too!

"Hey..." Guo Jia felt a little relieved after being hit twice.As for the weather forecast, the literal meaning is easy to understand, but it is not difficult to understand, "Mr. Shui Jing once said, 'If you are a general, you don't know astronomy, geography, strange gates, yin and yang, and array maps. Military power, even mediocrity...'"

Speaking of this, he suddenly panicked again.Just because when it came to this point, all the generals immediately looked at her. After all, most of them (he) don't understand this knowledge very well. Doesn't this mean that...

"But..." Guo Jia became a little flustered, "March to fight... that, that... I... Wen..."

"However, when marching and fighting, the situation is changing rapidly. Generals can't be considerate. We wait for civilian officials to check for omissions and fill in vacancies. Feng Xiao, is this what you want to express?" Cheng Yu said slowly. After all, the atmosphere is not very good, one is not good It will provoke conflicts between civil and military forces. The key is that she is also a general herself.

As soon as she explained it like that, the faces of the generals around her improved a lot.Guo Jia's status in the army is to join the army, which is the most basic civilian staff.Suggestions can also be made. Generally, suggestions for joining the army are rarely heard.

But Guo Jia is different, she has potential, she was too shy before, she couldn't even speak.It's gotten better recently, so I brought it out, otherwise, she wouldn't even have the chance to join the army.

As she said, the situation is ever-changing, and it is still changing rapidly.Under such circumstances, what's the use of bringing along a civil servant who can't say a word?Guo Jia, who once took refuge in Yuan Shao, was not even favored by Yuan Shao for this reason, and only Cao Cao was willing to believe in her potential...

In fact, it was because of Xun Yu's face. On the one hand, she didn't mind raising another idler for Xun Yu's sake.The second one recommended by Xun Yu, and who can make friends with Xun Yu, is definitely not a bad talent.

It is also because of her special nature that Cao Cao can consider her suggestion. At this time, Cheng Yu stepped forward and remonstrated: "It's okay to obey! If it really rains, it will not only ensure that there will be no problems with the luggage, but also the situation It is also more beneficial to us. Even if it is wrong, it is just a waste of some time, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!"

Cao Cao just made a decision and believed in Guo Jia once, but unexpectedly it actually rained!
"Siege Equipment Battalion, how are you getting ready?" Cao Cao immediately got up and shouted.

"It's ready and ready to go into the battlefield at any time!" Lu Qian stood up and responded.

"Siege the city immediately!" Cao Cao drew out his sword Yitian, pointed to the front, and immediately ordered, "Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, get ready!"

"The lord has an order, attack the city!" Lu Qian did not dare to neglect, and immediately issued an order.Immediately behind him, four large carts began to move forward, followed by four siege machines.

Not long after, the four large cars separated, and two small cars appeared in the middle, but the style was amazing!

There are roofs and eaves on the top of the car, which just cover the soldiers on both sides.There are four wheels at the bottom, which soldiers can push to walk and reverse.In the middle is a log.The forward end is wrapped in metal and is egg-shaped.This car got its name from this metal-wrapped log, called it——Crushing Car/Cracking Hammer!
Except for big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, the gates of ordinary county towns are closed with bolts behind them; the big cities of Shangxian County use winches to open and close the gates, such as Puyang before.If it is the capital city of Luoyang or Chang'an, there will be a broken dragon stone. Once it is put down, neither the inside nor the outside can be opened, and it can only be destroyed violently. The key is that it is very difficult to destroy!
Dingtao belongs to the big city and uses the winch switch, but with these two rams constantly colliding, there is still a chance to break away!

It is said that at that time, four or two carts began to move towards the city wall, and they were divided into four parts. The mechanism on one side was slowly raised, and a part of the long ladder was slowly raised from the folded state, forming a long ladder with the other part at the lower end.

There is also a turntable on the body, which can be turned up and down as needed to adjust the long ladder up or down, and finally put it on the city wall to form a stepped ramp that allows two people to go up side by side.This car got its name because of this, it is called a ladder!
The last one approached was a platform built on the basis of a cart.The platform is divided into three floors, with long ladders to go up and down.The soldiers boarded the three-story platform, either lower than the city wall, or higher than the city wall. They could shoot arrows and transport troops.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen soldiers, in groups of twos and threes, holding a long ladder with claws on the long ladder, which could be firmly hooked on the city wall.Using this as a boost, the soldiers climbed up and finally climbed onto the city wall.

This thing is very simple to make, and even local materials can be obtained, so if you are in a hurry, you can temporarily make this long ladder as a means of climbing the city wall.However, because it is very fragile, the person who uses it must bear greater casualties!
As for the rush car, the well rail and the ladder, they are bulky and can easily slow down the speed in the army.If it was changed to 300 years ago, it would be inconvenient to march with these siege equipment, especially when the roads are difficult to walk.

Later, Wanshiwu proposed the standardization of components, so the production department produced standard parts. From then on, the siege equipment was disassembled and transported, and then assembled at the destination.The benefits of building standardization are highlighted here. Parts can be replaced at will, and disassembly and assembly will not cause the siege equipment to be unusable again.

"It's raining..." Wang Yong felt the raindrops falling, looked up, and sure enough, the raindrops had started to fall again.

"Rain will prevent the enemy from using smoke, boiling water or gold juice, and rockets to destroy our siege weapons. The only disadvantage is that the siege weapons will be wet and cause slippage, but this can be ignored In other words, it is in our favor to attack the city at this moment!" Cheng Yu smiled lightly, "The only thing to worry about is Lu Bu!"

Indeed, with Lu Bu's method, if she wanted to make a move, she was afraid that all the siege equipment would be fake.

"So the lord has orders!" Cheng Yu's lips curled up slightly, "If Lu Bu goes into battle, Dian Wei and you will hold her back!"

"Didn't you say you won't take the initiative to fight?" Wang Yong immediately protested.

"But if we fail to attack the city because of this, or even lose troops, is it really okay?" Cheng Yu didn't intend to let him go at all, "And didn't you look down on Lu Bu before? If that's the case, what is there to be afraid of?"

Well, it seems that I pretended to be too forceful before, so others directly used this as a basis to come back!What else can I do, I can't say to her, "At that time, I was so scared that I wanted to pee in fear, but I just held back and didn't say it"?
Forget it, this is too cowardly!Men, I have to pretend so hard, with tears in my eyes, I have to pretend to risk my life!
