Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 Zang Ba Siege

Seeing that Zang Ba wanted to bully the few with more, Wu Anguo immediately rushed out with a loud shout.Zang Ba looked up and saw a general rushing out of the city, the most conspicuous thing about this man was the pair of big hammers in his hands, not only big but also with tooth spurs on them.

Originally, Wu Anguo didn't use a mace, but an octagonal hammer.Later, Zhang De asked them to make maces in Wu'an Tiefang to equip the Wuqi battalion. Wu Anguo's eyes lit up when he saw the maces, and he melted his original hammers and hit a pair of maces.

Besides, Zang Ba didn't see the mace. At this time, Zang Ba thought, why does this kid use the hammer like this? It's full of tooth spikes, but it's a strange weapon; If it hit him, not to mention broken bones and tendons, his flesh would probably be beaten to a bloody mess. Thinking of this, Zang Ba summoned up all his energy to fight Wu Anguo.

To be honest, Zang Ba's martial arts are good. When he was under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, none of the generals in Xuzhou was Zang Ba's opponent, so Zang Ba was still very confident in his martial arts.But Wu Anguo didn't give it in vain. After all, he was able to fight Lu Bu for more than ten rounds, and he was able to come back with his life.

These four generals fought for a long time, from morning to evening, at this time, Zang Ba and Zhou Cang's Ma He couldn't stand it anymore.The horses used by Zang Ba and Zhou Cang are ordinary war horses, while the war horses of Guan Hai and Wu Anguo are carefully selected from the Xiliang war horses. Naturally, they are much better than Zang Ba's war horses. Seeing that this situation continues, Zang Ba will suffer It must be me, and immediately made a feint, jumped out of the battle group, and shouted sharply: "Guan Hai, it's getting late today, we may have a hard time today, and we will come to kill you tomorrow!" At that moment, Zang Ba returned to the camp , Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and Zhou Cang also jumped out of the battle group and returned to the formation when he heard Zang Ba Ming Jin.

In the evening, Zang Ba frowned and sat in the tent.Unexpectedly, Zhang De had so many fierce generals under him, and he really underestimated the enemy.What's more, Zhang De still has cavalry outside, and Zang Ba still doesn't know how many cavalry Tai Shici has under him. Now Tai Shici's cavalry is Zang Ba's heart disease. After all, Zang Ba's men are all infantry, and he is still very afraid of cavalry. of.

Judging from Zhang De's performance in the past few days, Beihai City is not so easy to attack.Not to mention the height of the city wall, but the moat around it, I don't know how many brothers' lives will be lost.What's more, after a few days of fighting, it was found that Zhang De's men were all well-equipped, much better equipped than Tao Qian's Xuzhou soldiers.

In fact, it's no wonder that what Zhang De lacks most now is money, Zhang Rang's savings are all given to Zhang De, Fang Dali's private salt can earn Zhang De a lot of money every year.Therefore, Zhang De's current equipment of more than 1 people can be said to be much better than that of the county soldiers in other places.

After all, Zang Ba is not someone who makes fun of his brother's life. Although he has an army of [-], Zang Ba really has no idea whether he can take Beihai.Tai Shici's cavalry was in the rear, so that Zang Ba did not dare to attack the city with all his strength.

On the other side, Zhang De and Chen Gong were also discussing. After all, Zhang De had never experienced a city defense battle. In his previous life, when he was the Eighth Route Army, he often used cannons to bombard devils' artillery towers. It can be said that there is no experience at all.As for Chen Gong, he is a fledgling and has never experienced any battles. He can only say that he knows about city defense, but he is not very proficient.Therefore, Pei Yuanshao, the former general of the Yellow Turban, had the most experience in defending the city in Beihai City.

Pei Yuanshao was not well-known in the Yellow Turban Army back then. He belonged to the kind of people who were more than one, and less than a lot. Therefore, when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, Pei Yuanshao would be used as cannon fodder, while the Yellow Turban Army defended the city. At that time, Pei Yuanshao was assigned to the city wall to meet the enemy's first wave of attack. What was even more outrageous was that because Pei Yuanshao was good at water, he even led the "water army" once, although the so-called "water army" only had a few broken fishing boats. .

Zhang De didn't expect that Pei Yuanshao's way of defending the city turned out to be sound, so he asked Pei Yuanshao: "Pei Yuanshao, it seems that you have a lot of experience in defending the city, where did you learn it?"

Pei Yuanshao blushed, and said: "When I was in the Yellow Turban Army, I was beaten by the officers and soldiers to defend the city all day long, but so far, I haven't defended a city yet!"

……

After a few more days, Zang Ba's siege equipment was finally ready.In fact, Zang Ba's siege equipment is nothing more than ladders, rushing chariots, and toad chariots.As for large-scale siege weapons such as well rails and trebuchets, Zang Ba couldn't make them. First, he didn't have enough materials, and second, he didn't have the technology.Among these siege tools, the rush cart is the easiest to manufacture. The rush cart is mainly used to hit the city gate, and a large cart can be hung with a giant log; and the ladder is the most important weapon for siege, so it is made the most; as for the frog cart , It is a wide and long flatbed truck, which is full of soil, and it is used to fill the moat.

Compared with the simple siege weapons on Zang Ba's side, Zhang De's side has a lot more defensive weapons.First of all, the moat of Beihai City is very wide, and the moat draws river water, so the moat contains running water, which increases the difficulty of landfill.After passing the moat, Zhang De arranged a bunch of repelling horses around the city wall. Of course, these repelling horses were not to block the cavalry, but to block the ladders.In addition, the city was well prepared with kerosene, boiling water, rolling wood and thunderstones, and Zhang De specially prepared hundreds of thousands of arrows. After all, bows and arrows are very important when defending the city.More importantly, Zhang De also arranged more than ten catapults on the city wall.

The trebuchet was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. Unlike the catapult, the trebuchet cannot be moved, but because the trebuchet is fixed on the ground, the weight it can throw is greater than that of the catapult.Zhang De's trebuchet was learned from Zuo Cina.Zuo Ci knows the past and the present, there are many records and materials about the Mohist city defense in the master's school, Zhang De has such a good master, how can he not make good use of it, so he tricked Zuo Ci to get the Mohist classics back then , Zhang De also benefited a lot from it, but there are still many powerful weapons in the Mohist classics that Zhang De has not studied thoroughly.This trebuchet is simple to make, it is a lever principle, so Zhang De made a dozen of them first.

The next day, the large-scale siege finally began.On the first day, Zang Ba just sent some troops to test it out.I saw toad carts rushing towards the moat of Beihai City. The carts were full of mud, and it was this mud that caused too much damage to these toad carts with bows and arrows. The stone machine can cause some troubles for Zang Ba's siege army, but the accuracy of the stone machine is really not flattering.
