Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371 What Should I Do?
When Zhu Wei came to fight Liu Biao this time, he was naturally prepared for all kinds of siege.

This kind of high-rise cart is an improved siege equipment. It is a simple siege mobile arrow tower designed with reference to the structure of later siege carts. It is used to suppress the defense of the defenders on the city wall.

The base under this simple siege mobile arrow tower is a cart equipped with eight pairs of wheels, and each pair of wheels can be pushed by seven or eight auxiliary soldiers to move the cart.

As for the arrow tower body on the base, the bamboo and wood tower platform fixed by a tripod can allow soldiers to climb along the platform to the top arrow tower platform, and attack the enemy on the city wall through the gaps in the wooden boards.

In addition, if this simple siege mobile arrow tower can be pushed to the front of the city wall, the wooden planks can also be directly mounted on the city wall to form a sampan-like passage, and then the attacking soldiers can run up directly along the tower platform passage, rushing forward. Jump onto an enemy wall.

This can also avoid the loss of troops caused by ants attaching to the city, which is equivalent to constructing a safe siege slope directly in front of the enemy's city wall.

Of course, the scale of a real siege vehicle is much larger, it really looks like a movable building, and the inside can be divided into several floors, and the siege soldiers can be hidden in the vehicle in advance. In addition to all kinds of long weapons and long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, they can often be loaded with heavy weapons such as crossbows and stone cannons.

It's just that if you really want to build a siege vehicle, it's not very convenient to transport, and it takes some time to build it on the spot.

Therefore, the most important function of the simple siege cart used by Zhu Wei now is to become a mobile arrow tower platform. In addition, the cart base and the high-rise arrow tower platform that constitute this simple siege mobile arrow tower are also It can be separated, and then assembled on the battlefield.

In this way, it has the advantages of convenient transportation and can be quickly put on the battlefield.

Of course, as this simple version of the siege vehicle, its weakness is that it is not strong enough. If the enemy sends people to rush out of the city to destroy it, it is easy to collapse the temporary arrow tower platform, and it is easy to push forward the enemy's city. Sometimes, it is also necessary to support and protect with bamboo poles, so as not to shake and collapse during the movement.

However, Zhu Wei is not worried that Liu Biao will send people out of the city to fight, but Zhu Wei can take the opportunity to consume Liu Biao's troops.

In fact, as long as the base trolley below is not destroyed, even if the high-rise arrow tower above collapses, it is easy to rebuild it again.

At the same time, it is not afraid of the rocket attacks from the city defenders. Even if it burns the wooden boards in front of the arrow defense, it can directly replace these wooden boards without igniting the entire siege vehicle.

Zhu Wei's purpose of using this simple siege to move the arrow tower now is mainly to consume the vitality of Liu Biao's army, not really to break through Yicheng at once.

From now on, it seems that the effect of this simple siege mobile arrow tower is not bad. Now thousands of archers on more than a dozen mobile arrow towers have suppressed the defenders on the city wall, so that these defenders can only hide around. No time to fight back.

Originally, Liu Biao's defenders had prepared some defensive items such as kerosene on the city wall, but at this time, the archers commanded by Tai Shici shot them down with rockets. Instead, they burned on the city wall, attracting Liu Biao's defenders on the city wall There was another confusion.

Seeing the chaos on the city wall of Yicheng, Tai Shici issued an order to attack the city, so the siege swordsmen who had already hidden behind these tall buildings and carts rushed over to the city wall with the climbing ladders.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the defenders on the city wall had no time to defend at all, the siege soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall. From this siege situation, it seemed that they could break through the city wall of Yicheng in one fell swoop.

Liu Biao, who was commanding in the Jiange of the city gate tower, saw such a scene, and his expression became serious. He sent orders repeatedly, telling the guards on the city wall not to mess up, and quickly returned to their defensive positions, desperately trying to defend the city wall , To prevent Zhu Wei's soldiers from attacking the city wall.

Then Liu Biao turned his head to look at Liu Qi, Kuai Yue and other people around him, and said in his mouth, "Zhu Wei's siege methods are indeed extraordinary. What should we do now? If this continues, I'm afraid Yicheng will Difficult to defend, even Xiangyang City is difficult to defend!"

"My lord, now I have to take the initiative to attack and destroy this wooden siege cart. However, I am worried that Zhu Wei must be prepared, and I am afraid that some troops will be wasted!"

Kuai Yue saw more than a dozen cars standing high in front of the city wall of Yicheng, like walls that were as high as the city wall. The suggestion he could give for the time being was to send someone out to destroy them.

Otherwise, with the means of defending the city wall, I am afraid it will be difficult to counteract this kind of siege equipment. If this continues for a long time, the defenders will lose sight of the other, and they will definitely not be able to stop Zhu Wei's soldiers from climbing the city. It's just that I can't hold it anymore.

"Okay, I don't know who dares to take the order to go out to fight! This battle does not ask for anything else, as long as these equipment are destroyed!"

Liu Biao's eyes immediately swept over the generals below. Naturally, he couldn't order his son Liu Qi to fight this time. This battle was almost a battle of death, so he had to let the generals under him go out.

Apart from Liu Qi here, only Deng Yi is considered a military general recognized by the Three Kingdoms game system, but that doesn't mean that there are no other generals.

So there were still seven or eight generals who belonged to Liu Biao's account standing, but at the moment their eyes were flashing, obviously they did not dare to lead the troops out of the city.

"Why, no one dares to take orders? Hmph!"

Seeing that none of these people took the initiative to speak, Liu Biao couldn't help but snorted coldly, and glanced at the city wall again, because just now he ordered the defenders on the city wall to defend the city desperately, so now the defenders on the city wall can only be protected by shields. Going down, against the feather arrows of the archers on the tall buildings and carts outside the city, he went to the city wall to block the Zhu guards who were climbing and attacking the city.

However, the protection of the shield will still go wrong in such a hurry, so from time to time you can see defenders on the city wall shot by arrows. Although they may not be directly shot to death, most of them are unable to continue to defend after being injured, so they can only be shot. Sent to the city wall to bandage and treat.

Up to now, more than 1000 of the [-] guards on the city wall have been killed or injured, but this is just the beginning.

Such a loss is absolutely unreasonable for the city defenders. Even the soldiers of the Taishi Mercy God's Arrow Battalion who attacked the city did not die much.

In fact, although Tai Shici's Shenjian Battalion launched a siege at this moment, the siege was not very violent, as if there was an action to attract the defenders on the city wall, and then let the archers on the simple siege mobile arrow tower , can take the opportunity to kill Liu Biao's defenders.

It can be said that Tai Shici is still carrying out tactics with the main purpose of consuming the vital strength of Liu Biao's army at this moment.

Although Liu Biao didn't know about Tai Shici's tactics, he couldn't bear the fact that the defenders on his side were suppressed by the enemy, so he glanced at the generals in the Jiange, and quickly ordered two of them On weekdays, they can be regarded as somewhat brave generals, let them go down to command three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city, to destroy these high-rise siege equipment...
