A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

However, Li Wei wanted to keep a low profile, but Yuan Shao did not intend to let Li Wei paddle the water, but after everyone was quiet, he asked Li Wei, "I wonder if Li Yuzhou has a good strategy to defeat the enemy. If the spell destroys the Yellow Turban camp, can we use the spell to break the Hulao Pass?"

Li Wei didn't know what Yuan Shao's idea was, and he didn't get angry. He smiled and said: "At this time and another, although I broke the Yellow Turban camp with magic, Hulao Pass is not as simple as a camp, and this kind of heroic pass 0.5 is not so much. It is easy to deal with, even if it is bombarded with magic, the effect will not be much better. This kind of siege battle is an upright contest between the two sides, and it is not easy to find tricks."

"That's right, that's really a pity." Yuan Shao sighed with a sad face, but he was just pretending to be so sad, it didn't matter if he could get into Luoyang or not, he was just trying to gain fame.

Yuan Shao is also a sensible person. With He Miao's way of playing, something will happen sooner or later. If the change of dynasty cannot be completed within a year or two, He Miao will end.Therefore, Yuan Shao is only creating chaos for He Miao, but also creating opportunities for those defeated dogs in Luoyang who want to make trouble.Even if he lost this battle, Yuan Shao would leave the imperial court alone to play with himself. When He Miao tossed the Han court to the point of collapse, he could naturally begin to proclaim himself emperor. .

chapter 584. technology is the fighting force

There are not many generals in Li Wei's team. The real general is Ma Long alone. Ma Long is not outstanding in the "Four Heavenly Kings" under Li Wei, but he has his own skills in the use of various weapons of war. The doorway is the strongest in the "Four Heavenly Kings" in attacking and defending the city, and Ma Long himself is also a studious person. After self-taught Mohist mechanics and modern pulley block mechanization technology, Ma Long's skills in attacking and defending the city. The ability has reached a level beyond the reach of the other three.

For example, the self-propelled trebuchet that Li Wei sees now is a combination of the "turtle-style" chassis of the Mojia mechanical technique and the return cannon. The turtle-type chassis is driven by human and animal power, and the return cannons on the site are improved trebuchets made by people from the Western Regions during the Battle of Xiangyang in later generations. Combining the limits of the technology in this era, it has created a A weird monster.

Although this kind of shape like a big turtle carrying a trebuchet on its back really makes people want to complain, but compared to other siege machines of this era, it is already quite a black technology.At least this turtle-type self-propelled trebuchet can move at a speed of five kilometers per hour. Compared with the trebuchets that must be assembled on the battlefield in this era, they are completely out of the same kind in this era in terms of mobility and destructive power.

If it weren't for the fact that it is not suitable to expose too much of the family, Li Wei can even make a truck cannon. A truck powered by an internal combustion engine plus a howitzer is simply an unstoppable iron monster in this era.And the power of the grenade is not comparable to the stones thrown by the trebuchet. This thing is used to siege the city, and it is impossible to survive the Hulao Pass for a day.

Ma Long is the quality supervisor of these siege equipment. These things are the products of the elimination technology combination. Although Ma Long is not the first time to play, he still carefully checks the quality of each self-propelled trebuchet.People in the industry are more or less technically paranoid. For example, although Malone does not look down on these garbage, he still tries to maintain these garbage in the best condition.

Li Wei looked at Malone, who was addicted to technology, and did not disturb him, but left the craftsmanship camp.With such a siege master there, it would be a hassle for the coalition to lose. No matter how bad the troops of the other princes performed, as long as the city wall of Hulao Pass could be broken down, it would be considered a victory.

Li Wei had confidence in Ma Long, so he naturally let it go. Anyway, the Yuzhou Army would not rush to the front line, but would carry out siege operations in a self-contained system.Although it seems to be suspected of taking advantage, but in this kind of siege battle, "technology" ~ the party is the main force, so the other princes did not speak up, or because of Li Wei's strength, they did not dare to speak up.

After returning to the tent, he saw Sun Shangxiang lying on the table reviewing his homework.Li Wei assigned her some homework and let her learn new content. Although Sun Shangxiang is very much loved by her family, like most girls in this era, she has not received formal education, or can be accepted in this era. Very few girls are educated, let alone formal or not.

Sun Shangxiang didn't even know how to write many words, and was in a state of semi-literacy. Li Wei naturally wanted to educate her well, and this was for her own good.Li Wei specially made a copybook for her, and then asked her to copy the contents of the copybook on white paper, but Sun Shangxiang's handwriting was not very good either, and it would always be distorted, and there were a lot of typos.

Even so, Sun Shangxiang still copied the contents of the copybook earnestly. Her progress is not fast, but if you look at what she wrote, you can see her slow and firm progress. Sun Shangxiang has extraordinary skills in martial arts. The talent, but in words, that is, the level of ordinary people.Simply she still has a little foundation, so that Li Wei will not be taught from scratch.

"Husband, look, look, this is my new writing, is there any progress!" Sun Shangxiang seemed very happy to see Li Wei coming.

Holding his newly written words, Sun Shangxiang rushed to Li Wei in three steps and two steps, and pressed his own words into Li Wei's hands.Li Wei looked at it. Although it was still normal, he still had to praise it. After all, Sun Shangxiang's age is really lively and active, and it is not easy to be able to calm down.

"Yeah, there is progress. It takes only two days to practice calligraphy. The army will start in two days, and then there will be no such leisure time." Li Wei took advantage of his height and touched it. Sun Shangxiang's head.

Sun Shangxiang was like a well-behaved kitten, her head rubbing against Li Wei's slightly rough palm.

Three days later, all the siege equipment of the Allies was completed, and the assembled army slowly rushed towards Hulao Pass.The terrain of Hulao Pass is not suitable for the deployment of a large army. At most, the front of the pass can form a horizontal formation of [-] people. For the number of allied troops reaching [-] people, it is simply forcibly pulled into a long snake formation. very unfavorable.

However, the slow advance of a large number of turtle-type trebuchets still made the defenders in Hulao Pass feel threatened.A strange-looking catapult walked slowly and stopped at a distance of one kilometer from the checkpoint. The range of the crossbow is about [-] meters. It can be said that the Allies can unilaterally beat the defenders of Hulao Pass in a very comfortable way.

This is the advantage brought about by the difference in technology. The princes and warlords of this era generally do not pay enough attention to technology, so there are still shortcomings in various siege equipment, but Li Wei (Qian Dezhao) is different, he has always been very Focus on the technological development of the territory, so now the technology tree of the territory has far surpassed the level of this era and reached a new height.It's like this kind of garbage that has been combined with technology that has been eliminated. It is an incredible treasure for other princes. This is what Li Wei has already played.

After the tortoise-type trebuchet reaches the predetermined position, all four short legs do not shrink up, and the entire chassis is fixed on the ground like a support frame to ensure that it will not "." roll over when throwing stone bombs. .There are also a large number of carts behind the turtle-type trebuchet. The carts are filled with stone bullets that have been simply polished. Each stone bullet weighs more than [-] kilograms. When the trebuchet is thrown, unimaginable horror can erupt. Combat effectiveness, at least until the advent of large-caliber artillery, this turtle catapult was considered the king of siege in this era. .

chapter 586. head-on confrontation

Li Wei looked at Hulao Pass, which was already in a mess, and said with a smile: "Now there is no way to defend Hulao Pass. If the generals guarding the pass don't take the initiative to attack, then it will only be a matter of time before Hulao Pass is breached."

"But even if they fight, it can't change the situation. Now they have missed the best time to attack, and in front of the trebuchets are the elite troops of the coalition forces. Even if the defenders of Hulao Pass are killed, what will happen? This kind of narrow The terrain is very uncomfortable for the siege side, but in this case, it is equally uncomfortable for the defenders of Hulao Pass to take the initiative to attack." Diao Chan can see the situation of the entire battlefield very clearly. It's out of play.

The terrain in front of Hulao Pass is not very good, and it is not suitable for advancing. Although the width can reach the width of a thousand people, there are steep mountain walls on both sides, and it is difficult for even small groups of troops to maneuver, let alone large ones.In addition, the terrain itself is deliberately kept complex and rugged, making it difficult to launch a large-scale charge. It can be said that the defender's counterattack is quite troublesome in this case.

The situation of the battle did not exceed Diaochan's expectations. The defenders at Hulao Pass took the initiative to attack. Because of the inferior range of the defensive weapons, the defenders were unilaterally beaten, and their morale would collapse.Although the city wall of Hulao Pass is sturdy, and the city gate is also equipped with broken dragon stone (sealing stone), but after all, this is an ancient level, and the structure of the level has been aging due to the sun and rain all year round, and it no longer looks like it was just built. That kind of defense - invincible.

In particular, the attack of the kerosene cans made it impossible to carry out normal defenses on the city wall. The entire city wall was raging on fire, and there was no place for people to stand. The flames ignited by gasoline were not so easy to put out.

In the absence of burning materials, the local tyrants of the Allied Forces kept throwing kerosene cans, making it impossible for people to stand on the wall of the entire Hulao Pass, and the rabbits bit people in a hurry. The defenders of Hulao Pass can be said to be in the hands of He Miao The elite troops of the battalion had been suppressed and beaten like this, and they had long held back their anger. With the approval of the main general, these battered defenders chose to take the initiative to attack.

The city gate of Hulao Pass opened, and a cavalry rushed out. Although the terrain in front of Hulao Pass was not very suitable for cavalry deployment, in order to disperse the infantry in front of the trebuchet, it was necessary to rely on the cavalry's breakthrough power.

The Allied trebuchets beat the defenders to the brink, but in terms of troops, Hulao Pass was still quite adequate.He Miao mobilized [-] troops to guard Hulao Pass, and various support from the rear reached Hulao Pass in a steady stream. In a normal war of attrition, Hulao Pass could easily drag the Allied troops to death, if it weren't for Li Wei's tortoise-type trebuchet Make merit, then the current situation is reversed.

Because the Allies fought over long distances, they were under a lot of pressure on logistics. If the battle could not be resolved quickly, the food and drink of hundreds of thousands of people alone would be enough to make Yuan Shao go bankrupt. With such a high-intensity consumption, Yuan Shao could last for two at most. months.

In contrast, if the defenders of Hulao Pass were not beaten by the tortoise-type trebuchet, they could have been dragged down. fight back.

The heavy cavalry rushing out of Hulao Pass is like a moving steel Great Wall, and behind it is a large number of infantrymen, which clearly shows the rhythm of hitting hard.Seeing this formation, the Allied defensive units were not too frightened. Under the command of the grass-roots officers, they lifted all the long/guns placed on the ground.

The best way to defend against the cavalry is to refuse the horse, but the cumbersome refusal of the horse is inconvenient to carry, and is generally used as a peripheral defense when camping to prevent the cavalry from stepping into the camp.In the case of such an active attack, it is quite inconvenient to carry a horse to resist, but the infantry is not without the strength to fight against the cavalry, especially this narrow terrain is not conducive to the interpenetration/insertion of the cavalry, so let the alliance The infantry of the army had the courage to confront the cavalry.

As early as before, Li Wei considered that the defenders might launch a counterattack, so he suggested to Yuan Shao to use the current configuration. Yuan Shao also really wanted to enter Luoyang, so Li Wei's suggestion was unconditional support. A mixed formation similar to the Macedonian phalanx is the capital of the infantry against the cavalry in the cold weapon era.

The steppe cavalry's rushing skills are very strong in open terrain, and the heavy cavalry is strong as long as he charges the place. The infantry in the cold weapon era is actually very hard.However, Li Wei's formation, in this specific environment, can turn the infantry over and become a master/master.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·????

The soldiers in the front row are all long/gunners. The six-meter long/gun and the shelves hidden on the ground are all simple and easy to refuse horses.Relying on the gun rack hidden on the ground that can be pulled up, the spearmen in the front row can form a hedgehog-like long/gun formation.Without the need to move, the lethality of this super Macedonian phalanx to the cavalry is terrifying.

Moreover, the soldiers in the back row also have short spears for throwing in their hands, and behind them are the foot archers who cover them. It can be said that all-round strike methods are used.

"Steady!" The general of the Allied infantry leader roared.

The rushing heavy cavalry was like a huge wave, directly hitting the Allied long/spear formation, the cavalry in the first row was instantly smashed into a sieve, and the man on the horse also rolled down and was caught by the rear. The cavalry was trampled into flesh.At the moment when the two sides collided, a large number of long/spears were broken, and the subsequent cavalry continued to charge on the corpse in front. Because there were too many obstacles, the defending cavalry had lost their impact, and the Allied infantry had lost their impact. caught in a melee.

0...  

Although Li Wei's long/spear formation has many limitations, if it weren't for this narrow terrain, the opposite side would not have bumped into it so stupidly.But success is success. The defending cavalry was directly forced to stop by the "Hedgehog Array", and the cavalry that lost its impact was not an opponent to replenish.The spear throwers in the back row started throwing spears. The heavy cavalry all wore heavy armor. Although the defense was excellent, the armor was too cumbersome, and they would be beaten by regular infantry when they dismounted.

It is a little troublesome for ordinary arrows to break through this layer of heavy armor. In this case, it is time to throw spears to show their talents.

The impact force attached to a heavy spear is not comparable to that of an arrow. Even if it cannot break through the armor of the heavy cavalry, it can dismount the opponent. If you are lucky enough to hit the key point of the opponent, you can also get mixed up.

However, the front troops of the Allied forces were not able to take too much advantage, because the infantry of the defenders were also killed, and the two sides were about to start a melee like a meat grinder, but the situation was still strong for the Allies, because the defenders went out of the customs. The number of troops is limited, but the main force of the Allied forces can continuously support the front line. No matter how you look at this style of play, the defenders will suffer. .
