This time, the army of the Fire King was mainly infantry. Logically speaking, whether it was attacking or defense, as long as it entered the combat area, it was necessary to choose the terrain that was dangerously located in the mountains and valleys to build a camp and accumulate food and grass. In fact, it was a fast-growing city building, which was usually used when the army camped in the field.

Its defense system is no different from that of a city.

It is just that the scale is small, the structure is simple, the construction is rough, and there are no urban facilities such as enemy buildings. The army marching is carried with tools, equipment and moving obstacles necessary for construction. Usually, the trenches are dug to obtain soil, and the soil is accumulated as a base, without ramming.

The wooden fence is used as a wall, and the most common one is an circular fortification. A circle of wooden structures is used as the main body. A trench is built outside. The soil dug out from the ditch can be used as fillings for the city wall.

Building a ditches at the same time is equivalent to increasing the height of the city wall and helping to form obstacles to the action of destroying the city wall.

Various obstacles such as bamboo and wood stakes, horse-resistance, and caltrops were also set up. Towers were built at certain intervals on the camp walls, and mesh curtains hung on the walls were used to block bows and arrows.

This is an important measure to increase the strength of the defender. Since the tower protrudes from the wall, the defender can shoot sideways at the attacker from the tower.

Those who attack towers also have to face side shots from city wall defenders. Because the shooting effect on the soldiers' flanks is good, it is much easier and safer to project weapons to enemies attacking adjacent towers or walls than to directly projecting on enemies in front of them.

However, the team on the Fire King's side did not have a serious camp and squad since the beginning of the appearance. Wu Feng and the others all set a random place and lie on the ground in a unit of a legion.

Anyway, these Asura warriors have rough skin and rough flesh, and they can't be damaged even if they are frozen.

This situation is equivalent to the Fire Fire Army having no defense facilities. If the Luohu army in Rising Sun City comes out to attack, it is likely to suffer significant losses. Therefore, after the instructors arrived, the army of the Fire Fire King quickly improved this mistake and established its own camp, which was far away from Rising Sun City.

The newly established battalion is set up with observation posts about dozens of miles in front of the barrier area to maintain visual and audio contact with the home plate. When discovering the enemy situation, it will report backwards with flags during the day and drums at night. It will place crossbow warriors and warriors with long weapons such as halberds and spears on the base, and place warriors with short spears and short weapons such as slashes and swords behind the base. When the enemy approaches the position, the observation post reports with signals and the army enters a state of combat readiness.

When the enemy advances to the frontier of the obstacle, the crossbow-carrying warriors, under the shield protection, fire arrows on the wooden walls to kill enemies that are blocked by the obstacles.

When the enemy passes through obstacles and advances to the front of the base, the warriors with long weapons will stab the enemy whose formation is already in chaos to protect the home base from being broken through by the enemy.

When some enemies enter the camp, they hold short weapons

Warriors fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy to eliminate all enemies who thrust the enemy without escaping.

Generally speaking, the enemy who was able to break into the position after fierce battles was already in a state of exhaustion and was easily annihilated.

After such arrangements, the Fire Army was no longer afraid of the Luohu army in Rising Sun City coming out to attack.

Only after the camp is established can it be said that it can be fully dedicated to attacking the Rising Sun City.

In the battle for the fortress, you can use a powerful weapon to determine the outcome of a battle. Among the wide variety of siege equipment, siege towers are the first essential weapon.

The siege tower is hundreds of meters high and is made of wood. It is covered with leather and other protective surfaces. There are huge iron wheels at the bottom to facilitate soldiers to push.

The siege tower is an auxiliary siege equipment and does not have the ability to attack. However, when approaching the city wall, it can provide an extremely convenient access to the city. Asura warriors can quickly climb the city wall along the siege tower.

At this time, the siege towers of the Fire Army had completely connected to the city walls, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting hard.

From time to time, soldiers from both sides fell from above and fell into meat pies, or were shot to death by arrows when they were still in the air.

The long-range stone cannons also continued to attack the Rising Sun City.

Stone bombs, as dense as rainstorms, kept passing through the sky and falling towards the Rising Sun City, and smashing hard on their city moat formation.

At the city, there are Asura warriors who fired a multi-engine rocket at the enemy on the city wall. They used a special wooden barrel to hold rockets. The barrel was long column-shaped, large at the top and small at the bottom. There was a second floor of the arrow grille, with a fire door on the side and a piston on it.

This was a rocket driven by war, which was driven by gunpowder gas. It contained multiple rockets. When shooting, it was like a swarm of bees leaving the nest, which was endless, so it was named.

The Cloud Ladder is one of the biggest siege protagonists.

It is mainly composed of three parts. One is the bottom is equipped with a wheel that can be moved. The other is the ladder body that can be raised up and down, carried by manpower, and leaned against the city wall. A hook-like object is installed at the top of the ladder to hook and support the city edge, and can protect the head of the ladder from being pushed and destroyed by the defenders.

In fact, At this time, Asura's cloud ladder was greatly improved compared to before. The main ladder was fixed on the chassis at a certain angle. In addition to the main ladder, a movable upper city ladder was added. A pair of wheels were installed at the top, which could slide up and down along the wall surface of the city wall when climbing the city. It was called a flying cloud ladder.

The bottom of the ladder is made of large wood as the bed and six wheels are placed on the bottom. Since the main ladder adopts a fixed device, the ladder is simplified and the ladder is shortened. The design of the moving upper city ladder greatly reduces the height of the ladder before the enemy is connected.

When siege, just dock the main ladder to the city

Then set up an up city ladder on the main ladder to "go up the city", thereby reducing the danger and difficulty of setting up a ladder in front of the enemy. At the same time, it ensures that the ladders will not be close to the city before entering the city, so as to avoid damage from the defenders.

The structure of the Yanhuojun's cloud ladder has been improved even more, using a folding structure connected by a rotating shaft in the middle, and adding protective facilities to the bottom of the ladder.

In addition, there are many forms of uptown ladders, including flying ladders, bamboo flying ladders, tiptoe flying ladders, etc. These improvements make it easy to move to catch the enemy by climbing the city and getting to the enemy quickly.

According to legend, cloud ladder was invented by famous skilled craftsmen. In fact, it was found as early as the time of Emperor Asura, and was named Gouyuan at that time.

The current ladder consists of three parts: wheel, ladder body and hook.

The ladder body can be raised and down, and can be carried and leaned to the city wall by human power. There is a hook at the top of the ladder to hook and support the city edge. There is a wheel under the ladder body, which can be moved.

The bottom frame of the cloud ladder on the side of the Fire Army is made of wood, with six wheels underneath, and the ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle. A movable secondary ladder is added outside the main ladder, and a pair of wheels are installed at the top. When climbing the city, the cloud ladder can move up and down freely along the city wall, and no longer need to be carried by people on their shoulders.

At the same time, since the main ladder adopts a fixed device, the ladder is simplified and the ladder is shortened. When the army attacks the city, it only needs to park the main ladder under the city and then mount the secondary ladder on the main ladder, and then "go up the city", thus reducing the danger and difficulty of setting up ladders in front of the enemy.

In addition, since the ladder contacts the city edge before entering the city, it can also avoid the destruction of the defenders.

The structure of the cloud ladder has been further improved. The main 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 like the folding flybridge that was passed by at that time. At the same time, the secondary staircase also has various forms, making it easier and faster to catch the enemy.

In order to ensure the safety of the ladder pusher, the ladder has learned from the previous improvement experience of the ladder. The bottom of the ladder is designed as a shielded vehicle on all sides, and the outside is reinforced with raw cowhide. When the personnel push carts in the shed to approach the enemy city wall, they can effectively resist the damage of the enemy arrows and stones.

However, this bulky and huge cloud ladder was gradually abandoned because it could not resist the attack of firearms.

There are many types of ladders used to siege cities, and cloud ladders are huge and bulky and have a relatively complex structure.

There are many ways to use the siege, but most of them are based on the decisive victory of the city quickly. You must be brave and quickly to enter the city.

Therefore, there are various light and simple flight ladders commonly used. It is said that once the Asura army attacked this city, there was a wooden city wall outside the city and a dirt city wall inside, and the defense was quite tight.
