Chapter 84

The war drums rumbled, and the soldiers gathered in front of the formation. At the front were three deputy ladders, a city rushing car, and in the back, there were two siege equipment.

It is obviously unrealistic to have two thousand people who want to surround a county and attack, but it is better to attack on one side.

"Speaking of this, I seem to remember a sentence in "Sun Tzu"." Seeing this scene, Liu Tao's mind saw a sentence, "Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround him ten times, attack him five times, and divide him by multiple times..."

Yes, that's all, the inventory in his mind is just like that.

"The enemy army is more than ours, right?" Lu Yan complained. He estimated that there were about 3,000 people on the other side, and only 2,000 soldiers from his own army, so he could not let the baggage troops go there.

"Besides, that feeling should be a field battle." Jian Yong also added a little.

"Is that true?" Liu Tao also felt that he was really ignorant. He just felt that this sentence had the word "encirclement" and thought it was a siege. If you read it carefully, and don't say anything else, it seems that he didn't write it in the case of this one-to-one situation... He didn't remember whether it was there.

Or is it that Sun Tzu's Art of War emphasizes dignified tactics, similar to the technique of winning with less, which even Sun Tzu himself does not recognize? If you think about it carefully, military strategy, tactics and strategies are not the same thing in themselves.

In addition, the beginning sentence: War is a major event of a country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death. We must observe it.

I feel that the so-called military strategy means being stable if you can be stable, being cautious if you can be cautious, using your strengths to attack the opponent, and using all the power you can use to gain an advantage... Well, I may really be a delayed military strategy!

Don’t look at him being leisurely here, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu have already begun to command the siege.

Without a well railing car, the crossbowman would have to cover the city rushing car at this time. The sword and shield soldiers were in front of him to cover the crossbow soldiers. The latter came carefully to the city wall and fired at the city wall with arrows and crossbow arrows.

Shangguan Yu even personally opened the bow. When he joined the army, he carried a two stone bow, which was almost equal to the enemy on the city wall in terms of range. The latter had a high advantage and shot from a high point. The power and effective range of the arrows were significantly improved.

To be honest, unless you use a well railing car, and even have the archers of your army to be twice as good as the opponent, it is difficult to say who can take advantage of the opponent when shooting. After all, in this case, it is not easy to hit the opponent easily.

"I'm hit!" Inside the archer team, a archer looked at the head next to him, "The head is indeed a sharp shot."

"………………………” Shi Chang didn't say anything when he heard this, but just continued to bend the bow and hit the arrow. Unlike others, the one he held was actually two stone bows like Shangguan Yu.

As another arrow was shot out, an enemy archer who poked his head out of his head on the city wall was immediately shot and killed.

"What's the origin of that person?" Liu Tao naturally noticed that person in the central army.

"He is a ranger. He was originally a priest from the Zhang family, named Yang She... but he is as famous as his name, and his shooting skills are first-class." Lu Yan thought for a long time, but Jian Yong still remembered this person.

"It's really a pity that Xianhe can recognize him..." Lu Yan laughed at himself, "This person looks ordinary. Not to mention being in the crowd, even if he stands alone and doesn't pay attention, he will ignore his existence."

"I don't recognize him, but his bow. In the army, he was the only one who used the two stone bows except the chief Shangguan Tun, which was really easy to recognize." Jian Yong shook his head and said.

It is indeed a bit sad that a person is not as conspicuous as the bow and arrow, but this person's archery skills are indeed amazing. A person actually suppresses an area, and the thief does not even dare to show his head.

By the way, the Chongcheng car has begun to slowly move towards the front. After all, this is a thing made with a chariot and a Chongcheng hammer. There are eaves on it and soldiers hide below to push it, so that they can avoid arrows on the city wall. The defense against logs and stones is not high, but now the thiefs dare not show their heads, and the logs and stones that are occasionally thrown out can also be avoided.

The four-wheel design is indeed not easy to turn, but the city-torn car usually only needs to retreat forward and backward, so this is just right.

As the five soldiers pushed the city cart and quickly advanced towards the city gate, with a "bang", the wood of the gate was concave. The gate was still towering, but it was not solid, but something was blocked behind it.

"Continue!" The sergeant who was operating the city rushing car shouted, and the soldiers pulled the car back one after another, reaching about ten meters.

"Tail the stone, throw the stone quickly!" Gao Sheng shouted in a panic when he saw that the other party had already started to hit the door. They used the city-storming hammers they were holding. Unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers used this kind of city-storming car that seemed to be more useful.

"General, you can't throw it. The opponent's arrows are too dense, and our people can't look up!" The adjutant replied quickly, and the throwing action naturally had to get up, raise the stone, and then smash it down. But as soon as he got up, two or three arrows shot over, especially those crossbow arrows, which could be shot over in one second. It was difficult to be safe and sound.

If you throw it around, the opponent's car to rush to the city will have two lookout hands, and pull the cart directly to avoid it. In addition, the long eaves cover it, it will also protect the soldiers from harm to a certain extent.

Continuous smashing of stones is wasteful, and the intermittent effect is not good. If you aim at it, you have to risk your life. This is the problem.

"The attention is all near the city gate..." Guan Yu noticed this situation and immediately shouted behind him, "Preparation for the first test shot!"

The two siege equipment behind began to prepare, and immediately two soldiers carried a large stone into the basket and shouted in front. More than a hundred soldiers in front suddenly pulled down, and with the help of the leverage principle, they shot out the stone in the basket.

To be honest, there is no point in point, probably moving forward, but wherever you hit it is basically left to fate. These two things have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period - a stone thrower!

The pure stone throwing machine is relatively simple to make, a bit like a seesaw, but it is higher, so it can shoot out the stones on it. The power is not expected. After all, there is no winch, and at the same time, it is not pressed with heavy objects, but pulling with human power.

"It needs to be improved in the future... This thing is not enough..." Liu Tao sighed. Having said that, it is a bit difficult to say how to improve it. After all, he probably knows the principle of the trencher, but knowing and knowing that it is different from knowing how to do it.

It is impossible to find some qualified craftsmen and try to build them. If you are lucky enough to develop a heavy trench machine like "Xiangyang Run", then let alone the city walls of Anxi County. Even the city walls of Chang'an can be easily built. After all, in my memory, the city walls of Chang'an in this era seem to be only about six meters away.

"The cannon is open and I am the mother!" Liu Tao subconsciously said.

"Cannon?" Lu Yan's ears trembled and asked in confusion.

"Boats, stones, cannons, the siege equipment that shoots stones out to attack the enemy is similar to stone throwing machines, but is more powerful than stone throwing machines..." Liu Tao quickly started to talk nonsense.

"Oh... But since my brother knows this, why didn't he bring it up earlier?" Lu Yan immediately asked.
