Chapter 714 The pointed wooden donkey

Curry is an important general in this army of tens of millions. He is fully aware of the current situation of the army, the actual weakness and corruption of the Fire King.

As an important general who can control an army of hundreds of thousands, he knows how to hold the banner of union, fight and talk while fighting, and hang out with various factions within Asura, constantly unite, strengthen his own strength, disagree, and eliminate other parties.

As an important general, he naturally knew that he should despise the Luohu army strategically and attach importance to the Luohu army tactically.

After all, what he was going to attack this time was the largest and most solid city in the Asura world.

At this time, the Rising Sun City consists of three levels: Outer City, Licheng and Palace City. In addition, the Rahu Army is also equipped with the most advanced, most powerful and comprehensive protective equipment in the Asura world. It has thick walls and high city, strong soldiers and sharp weapons, which can be said to be as solid as a god.

The failure of the Yanhuo Army in previous sieges was largely related to the lack of equipment in the siege of Yanhuo Army, the tactics were relatively single, and the wrong way.

But this time, the situation was different, because other Asura kings were really not satisfied with the combat strength of the army under the Yanhuo King, so they sent a team of instructors to force the U Yanhuo Army to study.

The Fire Army soon learned and mastered many siege tools and their tactics.

The most terrible thing is that the King of Fire and Fire didn't know what purpose it was, so he let the prince down and commanded the army.

Compared with the slight and inscrutability of the King of Fire, His Highness the Prince is much more generous and enlightened. The soldiers and generals are particularly energetic because of this.

All the advanced equipment and technical secrets of the army were also created with new tactics, and the engineers of the Fire Army naturally replaced the cannons with their bird guns. In a short period of time, they suddenly matured and became stronger.

Therefore, we have to face the fact that the siege's fire army, using newly created weapons, newly learned tactics, and even newly formed teams, began to siege another siege before and intensively encouraged preparations before the battle.

According to the new tactics, the Fire Army will build several viewing towers. As the name suggests, the viewing tower is a military equipment used for high-altitude waiting and reconnaissance operations.

As the saying goes, "Those who can face the changes of the enemy are called gods." In other words, whoever controls the information rights on the battlefield will gain the initiative on the battlefield.

Especially for the siege, we must have a comprehensive and timely understanding of the city guards blocked by the city walls. The best way is to use high-altitude reconnaissance facilities to reconnaise the enemy situation.

This type of military facility such as Wanglou includes other equipment such as oars, flying towers, cloud towers, and nest cars. However, the shapes are slightly different, but the principles and functions are the same.

.

The tall tower may be more suitable for alert and command during field battles, because such a height is a waste compared to the city wall, and the locked fixtures are not conducive to maneuvering.

According to the suggestions of the instructors, the Yanhuo Army adopted a lookout car or nest car that is more in line with the motor needs. The lookout car is the same as the lookout car, except that there is an additional four-wheeled seat below, and the height has been adjusted. The height of the car plus the height of the lookout rod is obviously more in line with the actual combat needs.

The form of the watchtower truck is very simple. A high pole is erected on the base of the four-wheeler, called the watchtower. There is a relatively wide plate house at the top. The outer skin is solid and the observation holes are provided around it for viewing the enemy.

In order to cross the wide moat outside the Rising Sun City, the Fire Army must also prepare a flexible and mobile trench bridge.

As early as the era of Emperor Asura, the trench bridge had become a large-scale equipment that the army must be equipped with when siegeing. It can be imagined that when the engineer troops on the siege side, the mechanized siege weapon of the flying bridge, and eight are built at the same time, forming a very wide frontal attack channel. In an instant, the natural barrier will become a thoroughfare, which will cause a powerful psychological impact and visual shock to the defending side.

Moreover, based on the convenience of military transportation and on-site operation, flybridges are often two-layer folding structures connected by pin shafts, while winches use rope pulley principles to control the pitch angle of the extended bridge deck.

In the hands of Asura, this kind of trench bridge equipment technology is more mature and has a wider variety, especially its mobility has been greatly improved.

This is mainly because Asuras can obtain a lot of high-quality materials when they fight everywhere.

There are five types of trench bridges made by the Fire Army this time. Each trench bridge is equipped with large wooden wheels, which is convenient for rapid movement and deployment according to the needs of the battlefield. However, this trench bridge has a fatal weakness, which is that it is all wooden structures and is most afraid of fire attacks.

As we all know, the biggest feature and strongest advantage of the Luohu Army is that it makes good use of fire-type magic and various weapons. The trenches around Rising Sun City are not only deep and wide, but also have a developed water system. If an attacking passage is built with wooden trench bridges, it is very easy to be destroyed, which affects the continuous attack and attack strength of the Fire Fire Army.

Therefore, under the guidance of the instructor group, the Yanhuo Army had already prepared. If it was time to abandon the use of the trench bridge, it would adapt to local conditions and adopt a very economical and practical method, namely, stacking bridges.

This method of stacking bridges is simple but quite creative. It is to collect wood and tie it into simple wooden rafts, connect it into one, float on the water surface, then cover it with a layer of dry firewood and a layer of reed mat, and finally lay the groundwork with soil.

This method of stacking bridges is not only economical and convenient to build, but also has very strong anti-strike ability. It is really a genius in terms of its practicality in technology.

Law.

Since the most common siege of siege tactics used in siege cities is ant-attached siege tactics, it is necessary for soldiers to perform wall-climbing operations.

Cloud ladders have a long history and were first called hook and spurt. They have long been an important engineering tool on the battlefield. However, the cloud ladders at that time were heavy weapons and it was difficult to move. The early cloud ladders were still a relatively primitive and rough siege combat tool.

Later, the development of cloud ladders made major breakthroughs. Not only were the technology advanced, the maneuverable and flexible, but also the shapes were rich and diverse, including flying ladders, bamboo ladders, tiptoe flying ladders, wood-avoiding ladders, chess, overpasses, sky-ribbons, women's walls and cloud ladders.

The biggest feature of the cloud ladder in the Asura realm is its advanced design, strong mobility and strong protection. Taking the heavy cloud ladder like Xingfeng as an example, it uses thick wood to make the seats and axle wooden wheels, which are very easy to move.

The ladders set up on the seats are folded, each section is connected by a rotating shaft. During combat, the occupants push the ladder to the place where they are ready to climb with manpower, and then release the second ladder with the winch behind the car.

The second section folding ladder is equipped with an iron hook at the top, which can quickly fix the ladder, making it easier for the Shura warriors who ride in it to launch a safe attack at a high place.

In addition, the protective properties of the ladders were greatly improved during this period. Not only was there a female wall at the top of the ladder, it could provide simple protection when it was close contact with the defending troops, but also added raw cowhide to the body of the car to prevent occupants from being injured.

The cloud ladders made by the Yanhuo Army now adopt this advanced design concept and manufacturing method. The types of equipment made by the Yanhuo Army, either fire ladders, or cloud ladders, or bridges, are not only huge in regulations, but also as high as the city slalom. Some are also higher than the city. The ladder feet are all driven by axles, which are very flexible.

According to historical records of the cloud ladders, the bridge can be built on the city. It can be judged that the front ends of these two cloud ladders should also be equipped with "wheels" such as flying ladders so that they can quickly move up when pushing the ladders to the city.

The cloud ladder made by the Fire Army also has a small niche sealed with cowhide on the lower floor, which is designed to store several people to dig the city.

In this siege battle, the most creative thing about the instructor group was to learn and apply a kind of siege equipment called Eche Cave.

The goose car cave, also known as the pointed wooden donkey, is a siege operation vehicle with strong protection, which is equivalent to a mobile combat vehicle. At this time, it has been widely used by the firearms on the battlefield. The spire, four wheels, wooden boards are used for protection on both sides and tops of the car, and the hard leather in the outer clouds is used.
