Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 864

"What's going on, what's going on?" Seeing the flames ignited, even Liu Bao realized that something was wrong, let alone senior officials.

"Is the other party planning to ask for help?" Gao Gan was thoughtful. The other party would light a beacon here, which meant that there should be enemy reinforcements behind or around Lin Lu County.

"Our scouts didn't find anything!" Liu Bao couldn't believe it. The scouts he sent directly covered a range of fifty miles. It was impossible for the enemy to get close.

"That means, either the enemy is hiding very well, or the opponent is beyond the detection range of the scouts!" Gao Gan pointed to the beacon, "Look at this beacon, I'm afraid it can be seen a hundred miles away!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Bao laughed out loud when he heard the words, "One hundred miles, if the enemy is a hundred miles away, it may not take even one day to get there. What am I afraid of?"

"This is the problem!" Gao Gan reminded, "We must take down this city within one day, otherwise, we will face the enemy's siege!"

Even if they were defeated, the enemy would still surround him, but he didn't know how many enemies there would be... Gao Gan didn't say this.

"Didn't I say that?" Liu Bao retorted, "If the other party dares to fight me, I will let the other party never return!"

Then he pointed to the city in front of him, and said to Gao Gan, "But I will leave it to you to be responsible for the siege!"

"Yes, I know, I will send troops right away!" Gao Gan felt that the situation was not that simple, but after thinking about it carefully, as long as the city can be captured and Cao Ang captured, then no matter how many enemy troops there are, they can still be defeated. As a threat, he forced the opponent to retreat.In other words, as long as this city is captured...

"Prepare the rush car and the ladder immediately!" The high-ranking officer immediately ordered, and the soldiers immediately prepared the parts behind the luggage. It only takes more than 20 craftsmen to cooperate with the soldiers to assemble, and the assembly can be completed in less than half an hour at most. .

"General..." On the city wall, Zhou Cang looked at Cao Ang beside him.The opponent is building a siege weapon, and it is not easy for a small county like Linlu County to resist it.

"Didn't you see those jars behind?" Cao Ang pointed behind him, where there were more than 50 jars full of grease.

"The problem is that rockets are not so easy to ignite the car!" Zhou Cang reminded that she was limited by the problem of IQ, so she basically would not participate in military meetings.

"Relax, I have prepared specifically for the opponent's siege weapons." Cao Ang said gently.It is his responsibility to appease the emotions of his subordinates. The key point is that Zhou Cang has some relatives with Wang Yong, and Wang Yong is his stepfather.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Cang speak to him so openly?
About half an hour later, four or five ladder trucks were assembled, and there were two rushing trucks at the same time.In addition, there are a large number of long ladders, and hooks with ropes.

"Your Han army's field combat capabilities are not very good, but the methods of attacking and defending the city are emerging one after another!" Watching the other party constantly directing soldiers to play with these engineering equipment, Liu Bao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The ethnic groups on the grasslands are almost always migrating, so there is no need to build walls to protect themselves.Naturally, he is not good at siege and defense.Their enemies in the grassland are either wild beasts or their own people who also don't know how to build cities, so even if 800 years have passed, they are still not good at it if they are not good at it.At most, there are some more methods like long ladders or battering hammers.

"General, can you cover our army with bows and arrows?" Gao Gan didn't intend to let the Southern Huns just watch and do nothing.

"That's no problem. I'll send elite soldiers to cover you around the city. Besides, I think the ladder cart is quite wide. I don't know if it's strong..." Liu Bao looked at the ladder cart and calculated the width, which seems to be completely acceptable. The horses go up.

"These ladder cars are made by the best craftsmen, they are absolutely sturdy!" Gao Gan seemed to realize something.

"Okay, let's set up the ladder cart, and let's see how our cavalry climbed the city wall!" Liu Bao smiled lightly, feeling a little longing in his heart. In the past, the Han army bullied them and couldn't run horses on the city wall. It is necessary to prove to the world why this cannot be done! ?

When the Mongolian army in the original time and space fought, it sometimes encountered low city walls.It's just that they didn't have a ladder truck, so they asked the soldiers to each have a bag of sand, and then dumped it under the city wall continuously, and finally rammed a ramp to come out.

Compared with taking the ladder truck directly, not to mention the trouble, it is an advantage that the ladder truck does not need to be carried with the army. At the same time, the road paved with rammed earth is not afraid of rocks and fire attacks, and it is more convenient for cavalry to charge.

The ladder car starts to move forward, and the city rush car starts to move forward.The soldiers with long ladders and claws are ready to attack the city as soon as Gao Gan gives an order.

"Charge! Take cover from the flanks!" Seeing that the ladder car began to move towards the city wall, Liu Bao immediately issued an order before it even arrived.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Gan didn't know what Liu Bao was thinking, but at this time, there were already many Xiongnu soldiers running towards the ladder cart.After a run-up, he jumped straight forward, with a distance of five or six meters, and jumped towards the top of the city like this.

"This is... the equestrian skills of the Huns!" Gao Gan felt shocked at the moment, that he was able to make the horse jump such a long distance.

"Shoot!" Cao Ang gave an order on the city wall, and the archers who were already ready started shooting the moment the opponent jumped up.These Hun cavalry who rushed to the front were quickly filled with arrows, then hit the city wall and fell down.

"The slingers attack!" Cao Ang ordered again, and a row of slingers put a glass bottle on the sling, then turned it around a few times, and threw it out when it reached the highest speed.

The sling is a relatively primitive long-range weapon, but as long as it is strong enough, it can throw glass bottles like this.Glass bottles fell on catapults, rams, and ladders, breaking apart and spilling their contents.

"This is... fat!" The soldier touched it and found it was slippery. His heart felt cold, and he took it over and smelled it. It smelled very bad. It was the cheapest fish oil.This thing is not necessarily made from the fat of fatty fish. All kinds of fish can be boiled together, especially the internal organs. In the final analysis, it is mixed oil.
Sea fish is very cheap, so some people boil fish oil along the coast. This stuff is used for siege or military lighting. As long as there is war, they will buy it.There is also high-quality fish oil, which is fish oil for drinking, but the acceptance is not high.

Soybean oil, rapeseed oil and peanut oil, it would be too wasteful to use these things to defend the city.Will not be used unless necessary.

The grease had been poured out, and then the archers came out immediately, and their hands had been replaced with rockets.It was shot violently, shot on these siege equipment, and after the combustion of the grease, the fire quickly expanded, and it was not so easy to extinguish it.

The fire made the horses frightened and did not dare to go forward. These siege weapons that had been completely burned prevented the Hun cavalry from approaching.But the archers on the city wall have a longer throwing distance, and they can shoot the Huns who are approaching!

"Senior Gan!" Seeing this, Cao Ang yelled towards the city, "Is there any other way?!"
