The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 52

Generally speaking, if you want to siege a city, you must either have a ladder or a siege engine.

Relying on human power alone, even the innate master has nowhere to exert his power.

In addition, the Wei Dynasty had not yet discovered gunpowder and there was no such thing as explosives, so ordinary people were not prohibited from approaching the city wall at night.

What's more, some people spend the night leaning against the city wall.

"Feng'er, aren't you interested in the city wall? Come over and have a look. I'm guarding the carriage here."

Wang An smiled and raised his chin towards the distant city wall.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. If you encounter any trouble here, just shout and I'll be here soon."

Wang Feng responded.

"Don't worry, you, Uncle An, and I are only second-rate warriors after all. What trouble can we encounter?"

Uncle An waved his hand indifferently.

It is true that under normal circumstances, third-rate warriors can already stand alone, and second-rate warriors can be called masters.

As for the first-class ones, they are already strong men who are in charge of one side, and are generally only found in large caravans.

Now Uncle An has been in the second tier for several years. Coupled with his rich fighting experience, he can indeed handle most of the troubles.

Therefore, Wang Feng was not too worried. After nodding to Uncle An, he jumped off the carriage and walked towards the towering city wall.

It has to be said that the flow of people in the Imperial City is far beyond what other counties and cities can match.

Not to mention the daytime, there were countless caravans, hawkers and pedestrians blocked by the city gate because they didn't make it in time this night and had no time to enter the city.

Some pickers even opened the cloth covering the goods on the roadside and displayed their goods to the people around them in an attempt to sell some.

However, it is precisely because of the large number of people that even if most people are talking in low voices, the combined sounds are still noisy enough.

Fortunately, it is only April, the weather is cool, and although mosquitoes appear occasionally, they are not too many.

If it's summer, it's torture.

The national style of the Wei Dynasty is pretty good, and there are not many restrictions on women. Sometimes you can even see some female guards.

The closer he got to the walls of the imperial city, the more emotions Wang Feng felt in his heart.

In his previous life, he was a bit afraid of society and didn't like to travel, so he had never seen the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, or the ruins of the old capital.Now in this Wei Dynasty, I see a city wall that may be even more majestic than in the previous life. It is natural to be shocked in my heart.

After all, there were no warriors in the previous life, so in terms of city wall construction, they would naturally be inferior to the Great Wei.

The city wall is a comprehensive system, including the sheep and horse wall, the horse and horse piles, the moat, and then the city wall.

It is said to be a wall like a city wall, but in fact it is more like a mound.

The city wall is trapezoidal, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, the entire width of the city wall is even close to its height.

This kind of thickness, let alone ancient times, even in modern times, if you use cannons and tanks to blast it, you don't know how long it will take before it collapses.

And the city gate that seems to be the easiest to break into is actually not that easy.

The front of the city gate is also surrounded by the Moon City. If you want to attack the city gate, you have to attack the Moon City.

But if they really attack, the term "catching a turtle in a urn" perfectly reflects the situation of the soldiers who enter Moon City.

Sometimes, it is easier to enter from the city wall using a ladder than from the city gate.

It is very difficult to break the city without civil strife.

Either use three times the force to encircle and not attack, and use time to wear it down, or use ten times the force to attack forcefully.

At this time, Wang Feng finally saw the city wall that Uncle An said was difficult for top-notch warriors to climb up.

Although most city walls are not vertical at [-] degrees, but a trapezoid of about [-] degrees, it is relatively easy for warriors to climb, and the same is true for the walls of the Imperial City.

But it was built on a rough city wall with gaps.

The city wall in front of you can almost be said to be a unified whole. Not to mention the cracks between the bricks, you can't even see the bricks. They are all covered with special clay.

In terms of fineness, although it is not as good as modern walls painted with putty, it is far smoother than those painted with cement.

If it is slightly shorter, for example, only three to four feet, unless it is as smooth as a mirror, with the smoothness of the Imperial City, a first-rate warrior can still rush up to it.

But unfortunately, the walls of the imperial city are six to seven feet high.

Facing such a high altitude, only top-notch Qinggong warriors can dare to say that they can climb up.
