Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 405 Don't be afraid, brothers, it's just embroidered legs!

Since he came out of Desheng Fort, Murong Chong's fate has changed several times along the way, ups and downs.

On the other side, under the leadership of Liu Laozhi, the Jin army brothers, led by Qingniu, followed on both sides of the chariot, and slowly approached the core battlefield.

The weapons have been placed in the chariot in advance, and when they reach the city, the soldiers will re-board the chariot under the cover of the shield player.

It would be too complicated to do so, but there is no way out.

In this era, only cattle and horses can provide animal power for pulling.The pulling power of oxen and horses is limited. Even the most eight horses can pull only 30 people.

With the scale of a toad cart, the load of 80 people cannot be pulled by oxen and horses alone.

What should I do?
No engine, no big truck.

After thinking about it, Xie Xuan can only use a compromise method. The chariot can be made as large as possible, because it is made of thin wood, even if the size becomes larger, the weight will not change much. The ox and horse can still be moved.

The soldiers had to follow on both sides of the chariot now, and when they arrived under the city wall, they would jump on the chariot at an opportunity.

This kind of combat method has extremely high requirements for the quality and mobility of the soldiers, which is why Xie Xuan devoted time and energy to individually train the soldiers who need to use the toad car to the building.

It's not all because the toad car is very difficult to operate, and the requirements are quite high.

With Liu Laozhi's shot, Xie Xuan can basically sit back and relax.

Surrounded by soldiers, he got up on the Hu bed and shook his feather fan lightly, watching a good show about to begin.

"General!"

"Look, General, what is that?"

Upstairs in Xiangyang City, Di Qin soldiers experienced round after round of fierce battles, their physical strength was obviously weakened, and their emotions began to be unstable.

But now, there is only one general on the tower, that is Liang Cheng.

This person had many defeats under the Beifu soldiers in the past, and his brothers were really suspicious of his commanding ability.

While they used various weapons to repel the successive attacks of the Jin army, they also had to pay attention to the battle ahead.

The soldiers in charge of the lookout saw from a distance that some strange-looking big guys were slowly moving forward from the Jin army's battle formation, and immediately ran to report to Liang Cheng.

On Liang Cheng's side, he had just driven away a group of Jin troops who were trying to climb the city. On this side, hearing the soldier's reminder, he immediately wiped his eyes and looked into the distance.

"hiss……"

"Strange, what is this?"

I saw that the big guy was not moving very fast. When it moved forward slowly from the rear of the battle formation, it could be clearly observed on the tower that the soldiers of the Jin army were dodging to both sides in a disciplined manner. Get out of the way for the big guys.

"It should still be a car, you see it has wheels."

The concept of the soldiers is very simple. When they saw the round thing, they immediately concluded that the big guy was a car.

"quick!"

"be ready!"

"The Beifu soldiers are going to the city again!"

As the chief general, Liang Cheng's eyes at this moment are more far-reaching than ordinary soldiers.

The Jin army did not mean to shy away from Di Qin, and there was no extra shelter in front of the chariot. It could almost be said that it was heading towards the gate of Xiangyang.

Liang Cheng's sight in the city was not blocked at all, and he immediately discovered that there were actually more than a dozen chariots with such a strange appearance.

More than a dozen chariots are enough for Qin Bing to be vigilant. What's more, according to Liang Cheng's visual estimation, there are some more strange guys in this wave of chariots.

The chassis is about a car, the car has no cover, and there is a ladder on the cover.

What kind of match is this?
All preparations are being made, but in the face of such a strange guy, Liang Cheng really can't make up his mind.

"Don't let them climb the tower for half a step later!"

"The Jin army will definitely come up from that ladder!" He waved his hand and pointed, only the chariot with the ladder was in sight of the soldiers.

In any case, facing the city wall of Xiangyang, which is about several feet high, the soldiers have to rely on the ladder to climb up. To repel the attack of the Jin army, they only need to focus on the ladder!

The so-called battle to climb the city is actually not that simple. The reason why Wang Mi and the others led a small number of Beifu soldiers to raid Xiangyang City before, they chose to attack from the side of the city wall was because they saw that the geographical location here was relatively superior and the defense was relatively lax.

The location is superior, where is the superiority?

On the side of the city wall, there are no trenches and puddles!
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, under normal circumstances, the city wall will not be empty.Placing trenches, or even blocking with wooden fences, are basic operations.

At this time in the Jin Dynasty, although the tactics of defending and sieging the city had begun to take shape, compared with the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still many shortcomings, and it could even be called a system.

Cities in the Ming and Qing dynasties have long developed into a mature stage. To defend the city, a winding moat must be needed. On the one hand, it prevents enemy troops from attacking the city.

However, this set of theories has not yet reached the level of popularization in the Jin Dynasty. More often, the construction of cities is still based on its original terrain.

The capital is built in Kang, surrounded by water, and water flows everywhere in and outside the city. This is the pattern of his own city, not artificially excavated.

As a result, these complex water systems have become barriers to protect Jiankang City.But the line of sight turned to Xiangyang City, where the waters were a little farther from the city, and the Jin army crossed the river, and they could station troops under the city.

The open space was completely sufficient, and the Di Qin soldiers in the city were not interested in water battles at all, so the two armies fought directly under the city.

In this way, the canals and trenches in front of the city gates became very important.

These trenches can well stop the enemy's chariots and chariots from charging and rushing forward. Horses and chariots are trapped in the trenches. That's no joke!

Not only will he not be able to play its due role, but it will also become an obstacle for the troops to climb the city.

Big guys like chariots and war horses are blocked on the outside of the city wall, how to erect the sky-high ladder?
Are you digging a hole for yourself?

At that time, it will take manpower to remove the chariot. This operation will naturally give the defending soldiers time to fight back.

As a well-known military town, there are such ditches around the city of Xiangyang. When there is no war on weekdays, the ditches are generally kept dry.

But now, the ditches outside the city are already full of mud soup, the soldiers are already inconvenient to move, and the foot soldiers are still limited to climb the city, not to mention those huge chariots!
Liang Cheng leaned on his waist and inspected the chariot team under the city. As the chariot team gradually separated from the battle formation, they moved faster and faster.

Although the chariot looked very big, it seemed to be very bluffing, but Liang Cheng found that the front of each chariot was only pulled by two green oxen, which should not look heavy.

"It's just a flower fist and embroidered legs!"

"Don't be afraid, brothers!"

"The bigger the chariot, the more immobilized it will be when it reaches the city. We just need to point the arrow at the Jin army!" Liang Cheng said loudly, he was full of confidence.
