From midsummer to autumn, about five or six days later, the group will hold such a dinner.

The main thing is that it is free, and the most important thing is that Yuan Shu has not said whether Sun Ce should withdraw his troops. Perhaps he planned to send someone to Guangling to fight after the autumn is coming, right?

Anyway, it gives people the feeling that Yuan Shu seemed to have ‘forgot’ the existence of Sun Ce’s group.

"What is the primary issue in siege?" Sun Ce pointed to Huaiyin City in front and asked everyone behind him.

"Fill in the moat!" Everyone responded, especially Huaiyin and Huai River were circling the city, including the city gates, which looked like suspension bridges. If you want to go there, the first thing you have to face is this moat!

With this moat blocking, the siege equipment cannot pass through. The catapult car and the shaft railing car can still play a role, but the main function of these two equipment is suppression. In the end, it still depends on the rushing car and the ladder car, and at least the long ladder to complete the climb.

"How are the sandbags ready?" Sun Ce asked again.

"It's ready, and it can continue to increase at any time!" Huang Gai replied, preparing too many sandbags for this day, and it felt like it could be filled with the entire moat on both sides of the city wall.

"The decisive battle has arrived!" Sun Ce officially announced, "We will have many people sacrificed today, but the sacrifice will be remembered forever. If you have wives and children, I promise to take care of them until the children become adults!"

In fact, according to the rules, just give a certain amount of pension. The problem is that the pension standards in this era have been declining.

The main thing is that wars are everywhere and people are displaced everywhere. Human lives are becoming less and less valuable. If this continues, there will be no pensions one day. In fact, even now, those lonely people will not receive pensions if they die.

Sun Ce's promise was already the richest in this era. The soldiers participating in the war began to be moved at this moment.

Many of them may be alone, but many of them have families. They may not be wives and children, but they have parents and siblings. At least, they will not want to die worthless.

"The first to climb the city is rewarded. Now, follow me to charge!" Sun Ce shouted, and the battle officially began.

"Fen Wen carts come forward!" Cheng Pu ordered, and the four rear vehicles began to advance forward.

It is somewhat similar to a small house with wheels, which can accommodate ten to twenty soldiers to advance. Relying on the semi-closed structure, it can avoid the enemy's arrow shooting and is also resistant to stones and logs.

However, most of the carts are made of wood, so they are not resistant to fire. At the same time, the number of troops transported is not large, and the greatest value is that it is now, and it often transports soil towards the moat.

Apart so far, stones and logs may not be able to be hit, and the rest are arrows or crossbow arrows. Of course, at this distance, even if they are hit by arrows or crossbow arrows, they can be blocked well by the wooden boards.

"Natural, so naive!" Zhang Fei laughed on the city wall, "You don't think we're really just playing with you all summer, right?"

The ancient city walls were mainly rammed earth walls before the three-metal soil came out. There were wooden stakes as skeletons inside the earth walls, and mixed gravel and finally rammed earth was calcined, which felt a bit like a modern reinforced concrete process.

The biggest feature of this kind of rammed earth city wall is that the wooden stakes enter the ground about two meters, which serves as the foundation to ensure the stability of the city wall. At the same time, the width of the city wall is quite large, and the width of the local small city is five meters.

A big city like Huaiyin has a wall width of more than ten meters. It is rumored that the width of the city walls in Luoyang and Chang'an is as high as twenty meters. This is also impossible. The higher the rammed earth wall, the wider the width will inevitably be.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the city wall was only six meters high, but it was twenty meters wide to maintain the stability of the city wall.

Of course, there is no problem with a city wall that is more than ten meters wide, let alone arranging troops and putting some medium-sized siege equipment on it.

In the past two months, Zhang Fei also found craftsmen and built about a dozen stone throwers, and prepared a large number of stone bullets. Seeing that the cart was coming, he immediately ordered the stone throwing.

"Idiot..." Sun Ce saw the head of Huaiyin City, and stone bombs were constantly projecting out, making a face on the city wall.

When Zhang Fei came over to have a free meal, she naturally knew that she was building siege equipment. Only in the past two months did the fool believe that Zhang Fei did not respond.

For example, those academic masters said they did not review well, and they didn’t know how much information they read or how many cram schools they attended in private.

The structure of the car is indeed a small house with wheels, but in terms of earthquake resistance, Zhu Xin and Liu Ye each gave suggestions, and on this basis, they installed shock-absorbing springs.

The craftsmanship in this world is so outrageous. A qualified "blacksmith" can create a strong and tough spring.

What is the concept of a car with more than 20 springs? It is the degree to which the stone bullet hits it and it bounces off almost directly.

Anyway, unless the other party uses a pointed bullet, round or multi-sided irregular shapes will hit you, and at most rub the surface of the flower and wood board, which will not cause direct damage to the thickened wooden board.

"As expected..." Cao Hong sighed. The other party was able to let Zhang Fei know openly that he must have a backup plan. "It seems that the stone bullet is no longer expected, and he still has to use the rocket."

The other party also has a stone thrower. If you continue to smash it, wouldn’t that send ammunition to the other party’s stone thrower?

It was just that it was the rocket's turn, and a large number of fired rockets shot towards the car. Perhaps some could stay on it, but soon people on the city wall discovered that the flames did not ignite the wooden boards of the car!

"How did it do it?" Zhang Fei was a little confused. This was obviously beyond her common sense.

"Haha, naive, so naive!" Sun Ce laughed, "It doesn't work for me to rely on rockets to ignite siege equipment!"

The world is wonderful. Many plants are naturally resistant to high temperatures. Trees like sea pine will not be burned even if they are burned black. Of course, there are other methods, such as using flame retardants. There are also saying that they are soaked in sodium carbonate solution, that is, soda.

Zhu Xin proposed to try, Sun Ce agreed, and after Lu Fan calculated the funds in tears, he began to try.

You don’t need too high fire resistance, you just need to avoid being lit by the rocket. Even if you last longer than normal, you can make a profit.

Facts have proved that the effect is much better than expected. The rockets shot from Huaiyin City are basically half-waste.

The Rockets didn't work, and the logs could not hit the stone, and the effect of the stone bullet was greatly weakened... Zhang Fei was very upset at this moment, and he was too lazy to continue to defend. He just wanted to put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate and go out to calculate the ball himself!

"Do you want it to be so despicable?" Zhang Fei knew that he could not do this, so he simply started to curse.

"Haha, come down and hit me if you have the ability!" Sun Ce laughed and continued to provoke.
Chapter completed!
