Chapter 706 Equipment Siege

Asura warriors on the wall, as long as they push the ladder, they push the warriors on the side of the King of Fire that were climbing down the city wall. The height of this Rising Sun City, even with Asura's strong physique, would be injured.

As for whether there are such long arms, it is not the most important thing. This is not because Asura and his arms are particularly long, but because they have a special fork that can be extended out of this fork and push the ladder down by pushing it down.

It can be seen that although the Asuras have introduced a large number of technologies from humans and gods and other worlds, they actually have some of their own ideas.

In the Asura world where technology is not developed, mathematics always has some special Asuras, and use limited technology to create infinite possibilities.

Since the Rising Sun City was captured by Luohu, it has been transformed and managed by Luohu, and its status has been prominent. It has truly become a place that military strategists of all dynasties have not only had solid city walls, but also wide and deep moats were dug outside the city. Therefore, how to attack the city in the war has become a problem for the Fire King.

The two sides have fought each other for nearly 800 years, and the war has not stopped. The main focus of the war is the Rising Sun City.

With the need of war and the continuous improvement of combat experience between the two sides, the siege equipment and city defense equipment of both sides have also developed accordingly.

The emergence of these novel siege equipment and city defense equipment all show the unique wisdom of Asuras, which is also of great significance in the Asura world.

Since the Asura realm is basically full of soldiers, their cities are almost all closed fortresses. Not only are they solid, thick and tall city walls and tight city gates, but also piers, towers and other facilities are built at a certain distance. There are moats, moats and various obstacles outside the city walls. It can be said that they are forged layer by layer and are tightly protected.

Like the city of Rising Sun City, which has a certain scale, developed in a long period of war after the painstaking efforts of Luohu, various defense measures have become more complete.

Therefore, various offensive and defensive equipment are widely used in actual combat, and new equipment is constantly improved and created.

For example, in the vanguard team where Wu Feng is now, there are many siege equipment, including climbing tools, excavation tools, tools to destroy city walls and gates, etc.

"Roar up and take the place ahead!"

A two-headed and four-armed commander Asura waved the four weapons in his hand and shouted wildly.

A group of Asura warriors quickly pushed the flying bridge up. This flying bridge is a kind of equipment to ensure that the siege troops pass through the moat outside the city. It looks very simple, just use two long logs and nail wooden boards on it.

It is easy to carry, and there are two wooden wheels below.

The trenches in Rising Sun City are not in a completely consistent shape, and some places are wider. So these Asura warriors connected the two flybridges with rotating shafts to turn into folding flybridges.

When transporting, they folded one section on the bridge bed at the back, put the front section down when using it, and put it on the opposite bank of the river, which was a simple trench bridge.

Then a large number of Asura warriors rushed along the trench bridge. They stepped across Haogou, set up cloud ladders, and climbed up the city wall.

The cloud ladder, a tool for climbing the city wall, generally consists of three parts: wheel, ladder body and hook. The ladder body can be raised and down, and is carried and lifted by humans to the city wall.

There is a hook at the top of the ladder to hook and support the edge of the city, and there are wheels under the ladder that can be moved.

According to legend, the cloud ladder was invented by a skilled craftsman among humans. It was named Gouyuan at that time. Later, humans improved it and was introduced by the Asura realm.

Compared with humans, the cloud ladders in the Asura realm have greatly improved. They use wood as the bed on the bottom of the ladder, and six wheels are placed under it. The ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle. A movable sub-ladder is added outside the main ladder, and a pair of wheels are installed at the top.

When climbing the city, this kind of cloud ladder can move up and down freely along the city walls, and no longer need to be carried by people on their shoulders.

And this kind of cloud ladder is not the most advanced. At present, the latest cloud ladder in the Asura world has undergone greater improvements in the structure.

The latest main ladder of the Asura Realm Cloud Ladder is also divided into two sections and adopts a folding structure, connected by a rotating shaft in the middle.

This shape is a bit similar, the folding flybridge that was passed by at that time. At the same time, the secondary staircase also appeared in various forms, making it easier and faster to catch the enemy.

In order to ensure the safety of the ladder pusher, Asura Cloud Ladder has learned from the improvement of human cloud ladders, designed the bottom of the ladder as a shielded vehicle on all sides, and then used ferocious animal skins to reinforce the outside, and a talisman array was drawn on it.

When the Asura warrior pushes a cart in the shed to approach the enemy city wall, it can effectively resist the damage of the enemy arrows and stones.

The nest car is a kind of observation car specially used for observing enemy situations. The bottom of the car is equipped with wheels to push. Two long pillars are erected with solid wood on the car. A wheel shaft is installed at the top of the column, and a small board house is tied to the wheel with a rope.

The house is thirty meters high, with 12 observation holes on all sides, and covered with raw cowhide outside to prevent the enemy's arrows and stones from being damaged. The house can accommodate two people, and it can be raised several meters through a pulley cart. When siege, the situation of enemy soldiers in the city can be observed.

Later, a kind of silhouette car appeared, which fixed the silhouette on a high rod. This car uses solid wood as a rod and is equipped with a plate layer at the top. It contains the contents of holding a white flag to watch the enemy's movements and stills, and uses simple flag words to inform the enemy of the soldiers below.

In specific use, roll up the flag to indicate that there is no enemy, open the flag and the enemy will come.

If the pole is stretched flat, the enemy will be close; if the flagpole is vertical, the enemy will arrive. If the enemy retreats, the flagpole will be slowly raised. The enemy has retreated and rolled up the flag.

As for the bottom of the car of the tower, there are wheels that can be pushed back and forth, and there are foot pedals on the vertical pole, which can be used for the sentry to climb up and down. The vertical pole is fixed by a thick rope, and the tower itself is equipped with a rotating shaft, which can be rotated on all sides to observe.

This kind of tower car is taller than the nest car and has a wide viewing field. Later, with the continuous improvement of observation equipment, a fixed watchtower was installed to observe the enemy situation.

Cartridges are also an important tool in ancient siege wars. They are used to cover siege personnel to dig city walls and avoid damage from enemy arrows, stones, arson, and wooden slugs when digging tunnels.

A siege truck is a kind of siege operation vehicle with four wheels under the car. It is equipped with a roof-shaped wooden frame, covered with raw cowhide and mud. People can work under its cover, and they can also use it to transport soil to fill ditches, etc.

There are many types of siege operation vehicles, and there is also a flat-top wooden ox cart, but the roof is flat, and stones can easily damage the carport when they fall. Therefore, now, Asuras have changed it to an equilateral triangle roof, which can more effectively avoid the damage of enemy stone arrows.

In order to cover the siege personnel to transport soil and convey equipment, a combined siege operation vehicle called the head van appeared in Asura's team.

This kind of car is equipped with a battle shed, and there is a screen sign for shielding arrows in front. It is a series of siege operations that combines combat chariots, combat sheds, etc.

The front chariot is more than ten feet long and seventy or eighty feet tall. The roof is covered with hay more than one foot thick between two layers of leather fences to prevent the enemy's cannon stones from being damaged.

There is a hole in the center of the roof for people in the car to get up and down. There is a window in front of the roof. A screen sign is set in front of the window for observation and archery. Fences are hung on both sides of the car and mud is applied to the outside to prevent the enemy from setting fire.

The special combat shed is connected to the front chariot, and its shape is slightly the same as the front chariot. A mechanism is set up behind the battle shed where the enemy's arrows are beyond the reach of the arrows and stones, and a large rope is used to connect the battle shed to twist the head chariot and the battle shed.

In front of the front car, there is sometimes a screen sign with an arrow window on it, and there are side panels and covers on both sides of the barrier sign, and the outer ferocious animal skins are provided.

When using the first chariot to attack the city, connect the screen sign, the first chariot and the battle shed together, push it to the foot of the city, and then remove the screen sign to make the front chariot and the city wall close together. The personnel dig the tunnel under the cover of the first chariot. The battle shed is between the first chariot and the city wall, and is twisted with a winch to transport soil back and forth.

What is currently presented to Wu Feng is such a fierce and busy scene.

This kind of siege operation vehicle that combines combat chariots, war sheds, etc. is a major innovation in the local military engineering of the Asura realm.
