Chapter 802 Digging and digging until you doubt your life (first update)
Chapter 811

And after dusk, countless soldiers of the Liaoxia coalition army who had had their dinner and rested for half an hour stepped onto the battlefield again.

In the siege team, from time to time there will still be figures rushing cars, but the chances of rushing cars have become less and less.

Because every time the car is dispatched, it often becomes a pile of broken wooden boards before it reaches the attack position. Not to mention the Xixia people who are in charge of the construction work, even Yelu and Luwo, who are the coaches, feel distressed Gotta bleed.

This huge siege weapon is not only difficult to manufacture, but also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but the important thing is that once this kind of siege weapon has a sufficient scale, it will form a huge threat to the defenders above the city wall. deadly threat.

But in the end, when he arrived at Yuzhou, the routine was broken. It wasn't that this thing started to become unusable, but that the opponent's long-range weapon was really too sharp.

Even at night, once the Song army finds out the location of the car, a huge and solid stone bomb will fall from the sky with the effort of a stick of incense, and smash the car to pieces with its destructive power. Scarred and unlucky, wait to turn into a pile of fuel that can be used to start a big campfire.

Therefore, the use of rush cars is becoming more and more cautious, because this thing has changed from more than [-] cars at the beginning to exactly twenty cars now.

Compared with other siege weapons, the damage done by other siege weapons is not that much. At least there are hundreds of ladders. However, the powerful crossbow of the Song army really caused the Liao and Xia allied forces to suffer.

Unless it is going up against the shield, otherwise, even the well-made Xixia wart armor can easily be drilled with bloody eyes by the Yuanyou crossbow.

Nowadays, the tyranny of the Yuanyou crossbow has left a deep impression on the Liaoxia coalition forces, and the bright silver armor whose entire chest is only made of a steel plate has become the heart of many Liaoxia warriors. Nightmare, that thing can almost be regarded as the nemesis of sharp weapons and bows and arrows.

The slashing of a sword can only leave a series of marks on it, unless it is a heavy and powerful weapon, it can dent and smash that kind of armor.

But the problem is, who the hell would have thought that most heavy weapons are long weapons, and after short weapons, there are more swords and the like. Only a few healthy people will use one-handed hammers, whips, maces, etc. It hurt the Yuanyoujia weapon of Song Jun.

If before, the armor of the Song Army was only worn by a small number of elites, but now, hehe... almost everyone of the Song Army guarding the city has one.

What is this concept?Just like the soldiers of the Xixia country, everyone is wearing Xixia wart armor. You must know that the Xixia kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, and the reserves of Xixia wart armor are less than [-].

And in this city of Zhuzhou, there are probably at least [-] sets of Yuanyoujia with outrageous defenses. Victory over confidence and courage.

On the contrary, the morale of the Liaoxia coalition army, which has the upper hand in terms of number of troops, is getting lower and lower.

After all, after so many years of continuous attacks, Youzhou's city defense is still very complete. Moreover, the Liao-Xia coalition forces discovered to their dismay that this Youzhou City is just a city wall with a horse excrement on the outside and a bag of chaff on the inside. structure.

In the past, the city defenses were all built with rammed clay. The more advanced ones were to cover the outer walls with a layer of green bricks to increase their firmness. The more advanced ones had more green bricks inside and outside. Add two layers of thickness.

But this Yuzhou City, uh... what all the Liaoxia Allied Forces want to say most is NMMP, this is not just an ordinary frontier fortress city.

The outer wall is completely made of hollow red bricks, and then cement sand is poured into the hollow. Behind the outer wall, hehe, bamboo baskets are filled with gravel, and then mixed with cement mortar, and then one by one. are built together, and then there is another layer between the two layers, which is a prefabricated board with bamboo strips as ribs.

The soldiers of the Liao and Xia allied forces dug up the city carts and crashed the city carts day after day, and had already dug up doubtful lives, missing countless hoes, and smashed countless bronze bumpers.

But the deepest part of the excavation was only less than two feet deep, but after their army retreated.When I attacked again the next day, hehe...

Even though there are no bricks in those places, the Song people used some method to fill up the hole. The most important thing is that its hardness is still not inferior to that of bricks.

#####
"This should be the Yuanyou cement that is often said by Song people. I heard that after it is made, it is like a pile of dust, and it will disperse as soon as you rub it. However, once it is mixed with water, it will soon become Something as hard as a rock."

Xiao Wuna picked up a lump of cement weighing two jins and shook it in his hand, his eyes fell on those hideously notched hoes placed in the military tent, as well as the broken bronze bumpers. on the head.

The reason why these things look so bleak is precisely because of Yuanyou cement, the hardness of this kind of thing, the Liaoxia coalition army finally experienced it personally.

Yelu and Lu Wei sat in their seats with extremely ugly expressions. Their big hands were gently stroking the sharp sword. Before, he really wanted to use this royal sword to build a city like this in the Song Dynasty. The urge to strike.

But in the end, after seeing the miserable appearance of the hoe colliding with the bronze head, he had to put away this reckless idea.But he was too embarrassed to pull out the knife and quickly retracted the sheath, so he could only continue to hold it in his hand and pretend to be cool.

"That means that as long as the opponent still has enough Yuanyou cement, no matter how we deal with the city wall, we will not succeed, right?"

"Since this Yuanyou cement needs to be exposed to water before it can solidify, it must take time. If we can attack one point repeatedly within a day, then if Song Jun can't repair it, we can poke a hole out ..."

"This general, the city wall of Yuzhou is definitely not built by tamping the soil like in the past. That kind of city wall can be easily collapsed just by pushing its roots."

"But at present, even if we dig a small hole regardless of the cost, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake the city wall built with this material." On the other hand, it will have more say.

And his words, although many generals present were not pleasant to hear, but they have to admit a reality, that is, the Youzhou city wall is indeed different from the clay they have seen in the past Rammed walls.

However, in terms of the compactness of its structure, it far surpasses the clay city wall, and it is only possible to dig two feet when dug to doubt the life. You must know that in order to support the work of the excavation team yesterday, the army at the east gate was much larger. It cost hundreds of lives.
