The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Regardless of how leisurely he is here, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu have already begun to command the siege.

Without the Jinglan cart, the crossbowmen would have to cover the assault cart at this time.The sword and shield soldiers were in front, covering the crossbowmen. The latter came carefully to the bottom of the city wall and shot towards the top of the city wall with arrows and crossbow bolts.

Shangguan Yu even drew his bow himself. When he joined the army, he carried a two-stone bow, which was almost equal in range to the enemy troops on the city wall.The latter has an advantage in height, shooting condescendingly, the power and effective range of the arrow are significantly improved.

To be honest, unless you use Jinglan carts, or even your own army has twice as many archers as the opponent, it is difficult to say who will take advantage of the shooting.After all, under such circumstances, it is not easy to easily hit the opponent.

"Hitted!" In the archer team, an archer looked at Shi Chang next to him, "Shi Chang really shot."

"..." Shichang didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but continued to bend his bow and set his arrows. Unlike the others, this Shichang was holding two stone bows, just like Shangguan Yu.

As another arrow was shot, an enemy archer on the city wall who poked his head out to shoot was killed immediately.

"What's the background of that superstar?" Liu Tao was in the Chinese army, so he naturally noticed that superstar.

"He's a ranger. He was originally an enshrined person of the Zhang family. His name is Yang She...but he lives up to his name and has first-class archery skills." Lu Yan thought for a long time, but Jian Yong still remembered him.

"It's a pity that Xianhe recognized him..." Lu Yan laughed at himself when he heard the words, "This person is ordinary-looking, let alone placed in the crowd, even if he is standing there alone, if you don't pay attention, you will ignore his existence."

"I don't know his person, but his bow. Except for Shangguan Tun Zhang, he is the only one who uses a two-stone bow in the army. It's really easy to recognize." Jian Yong shook his head and said.

It is indeed a bit sad that people are not as conspicuous as bows and arrows, but this person's archery skills are really good, and one person can actually hold down an area, and the thieves don't even dare to show their heads.

Having said that, the city rush car has begun to move slowly forward.After all, this is something made with a cart and a hammer.There are eaves on the top, and the soldiers hide and push under it, which can avoid the arrows on the city wall.The defense against round wood and stones is not high, but nowadays thieves hardly dare to show their faces, and the occasional round wood and stones can be avoided.

The design of the four wheels is indeed difficult to turn, but the city rush car generally only needs to move forward and backward, so this is just right.

Following the five soldiers pushing the chariot towards the city gate, they quickly pushed towards the city gate, only to hear a "bang", a small piece of wood of the gate was dented.The gate stood still, but it wasn't because it was solid, but because something was blocked behind it.

"Continue!" The corporal commander who operated the city rush car shouted, and the soldiers pulled the car back one after another to a distance of about ten meters.

"Throw stones, hurry up and throw stones!" Seeing that the other party had already started to hit the door, Gao Sheng shouted angrily.They attacked the city with the battering hammers held by the two of them. Unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers used this kind of battering vehicle that seemed to be more useful to attack the city.

"General, I can't throw it. The opponent's arrows are too dense, and our people can't raise their heads at all!" The adjutant quickly replied, and the throwing action is naturally to get up, lift the stone, and then smash it down.But as soon as he got up, two to three arrows were shot, especially those crossbow arrows, which could be shot in a second or so, so it was very difficult to be safe and sound.

But if it is thrown around, the opponent's city rush car has two lookout hands, directly pull the car to avoid it, and the long eaves cover it, which also protects the soldiers from harm to a certain extent.

Continuous smashing is a waste of stones, and the intermittent effect is not good. If you aim and smash, you have to risk your life. This is the problem.

"Attention is all around the city gate..." Guan Yu noticed this situation, and immediately shouted behind him, "Prepare for the first test shot!"

The two siege machines at the back began to prepare, and immediately two soldiers lifted a large stone into the basket and shouted towards the front.The more than 100 soldiers in front pulled down suddenly, and with the help of the principle of leverage, the stones in the basket were thrown out.

Seriously, it's not accurate at all, it's probably forward, but it's basically left to chance where it hits.These two things have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period - trebuchets!

The pure trebuchet is relatively simple to make, a bit like a seesaw, but taller, allowing one side to throw the stones on it.The power can't be counted on, after all, there is no winch, and at the same time, one side is not pressed by heavy objects, but pulled by human power.

"I still need to improve it in the future... This thing is not good enough..." Liu Tao sighed.Having said that, how to improve it is a bit hard to say. After all, he probably knows the principle of the trebuchet, but knowing and being able to do it are two different things.

It is necessary to find some qualified craftsmen, and after some trials, it can be built.If you are lucky enough to develop a heavy-duty trebuchet like the 'Xiangyang Run', let alone the city wall of Anxi County.Even the city wall of Chang'an can be easily knocked down.After all, in memory, the walls of Chang'an City in this era seem to be only about six meters.

"The cannon is firing, it's the mother!" Liu Tao subconsciously recited.

"Cannon?" Lu Yan's ears trembled next to him, and he asked in confusion.

"Cannon, a stone-packed cannon, is a siege machine that shoots stones out to attack the enemy. It is similar to a catapult, but it is more powerful than a catapult..." Liu Tao quickly started talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"Oh...but since brother knows about this, why didn't he bring it up earlier?" Lu Yan immediately asked.

Chapter 85

"I know the principle of this thing... but I don't know the specific structure of this thing..." Liu Tao was embarrassed, and finally simply spread his hands and replied helplessly.

"That can't be helped..." Lu Yan also knew, and it was obvious that there would be no result after asking.

Speaking of which, the stone was thrown out with the trebuchet... The first test shot was really not very good. The stone about ten catties was thrown out, which is similar to the principle of throwing a shot put, and it is really not powerful.

One piece hit the city wall at any rate and brought some dust with it.The other piece fell under the city wall, making a muffled sound.

"Maybe I really have to try to improve it some other day. The power of this thing is really not good!" Liu Tao shook his head. If these craftsmen can't help it, they will find a way to recruit Ma Jun or Liu Ye... No, no, Ma Jun seems to be still children.

Children... children... children are also very good!Cultivated from an early age, isn't the skill higher than history?That's right, I have to find a way to get him, who is he from...

I was having a headache, and a page of novels came to mind deep in my memory. It was not "Three Kingdoms: The Explosive Soldiers", but a certain novel. Anyway, it seemed that there was such a sentence as "Fufeng man" Ma Jun, yes, this guy is Fufeng... Fufeng belongs to the mother!

The area in Chang'an is Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng are Sanfu, belonging to Sizhou.My memory is correct, Youfufeng has [-] counties under its jurisdiction, so where can you find Ma Jun in such a large area?

"Brother?" Lu Yan watched Liu Tao's expression change several times, and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, the ladder is starting to be used, right?" Liu Tao replied casually, turning his attention back by the way.

To be honest, this siege really bullied Gao Sheng a bit.This silly boy blocked all three city gates, he couldn't get out by himself, and he didn't have a catapult or anything, so he just watched from two miles away, even if he jumped in anger, he couldn't do anything to him.

Let's say this catapult is thrown out three hundred paces away.The opponent counterattacked with a bow and arrow, at most a hundred steps.No, seeing that the first throwing effect was not good, the artisans asked the soldiers to push the catapult forward by [-] steps, making it clear that they wanted to bully the defenders.

"If you don't have any reinforcements, you don't have rhubarb crossbows, bed crossbows, or catapults, so you dare to stay behind closed doors..." Liu Tao shook his head, no wonder he came here to formulate a siege plan.

On the one hand, it does not affect the marching speed, and on the other hand, it really does not waste.Let's just say that now, with such a siege machine, the opponent is so cruel that he dare not show his head.

"It's no wonder they attacked Lunu County for more than a month, but they didn't take it down." Lu Yan also smiled lightly.

"Boom...boom..." This was the fifth time that the main entrance had been hit by a ramming vehicle. The depression was getting bigger and bigger, and sawdust had been knocked out.As expected, two more strokes will almost break a hole.

"It's probably useless to rely on the city rush car..." Jian Yong has been observing and found that the other party has blocked the city gate. Under such circumstances, it is not an ordinary difficulty to break through the city gate.

"Always put on an appearance to attract their attention to that side." Liu Tao replied, "The ladder is almost the same. The catapult will stop after throwing two more rounds!"

"Here!" The messenger got the order and passed it on immediately.

"Second and third sons, get ready!" Guan Yu received the order at the first time, and then immediately shouted behind him. The sword and shield soldiers must be in front of Chongcheng, which can resist rocks and logs, and has a certain resistance to spears.

The key is that I am secretly protecting you... Liu Tao looked at Guan Yu's department.No nonsense, directly cast a 'stone skin' on the whole army.The defense is improved, and the probability of survival can also be increased.

When necessary, I will brush another 'Guanglong's Faith', which not only improves morale, but also increases defense by 3 points.

After all, the magic did not follow the game completely. It is said that adventure magic can only be used once a day, and other adventure magic cannot be used once it is used.Although it is once a day here, I have never used other adventure magic.But can continue to use.

The two rounds of throwing ended soon, and the city wall was deformed, for example, a hole or two was missing in the upper part, and then the soldiers above slipped down from it or something.The other thieves also tried to stay away from this part of the city wall, so as not to cause a large-scale collapse.

"Charge!" Guan Yu didn't care about this, and directly ordered to charge, and the three long ladders were brought under the city wall by the soldiers.

The long ladder is made into the shape of a staircase. The ladder is relatively large and naturally heavy. Fortunately, it is only more than three meters long, so it is not very heavy.Ten soldiers carried it, and they were about to reach the bottom of the city wall.

"How are the stones and logs, golden juice and boiling water ready?" Gao Sheng greeted quickly.

"It's all ready, but there's no way to pass through a piece of the city wall!" The deputy said hurriedly, that piece of the city wall was not strong at all, and even if you approached it, the city wall under your feet felt soft and crumbling.

People walking on it feel that it will collapse at any time, let alone holding stones and logs.The opponent directly used the catapult, not intending to smash the city wall at all, but to turn this part of the city wall into an undefended state.
