Despite a series of explosions, Zhao Jun's platoon of vehicles still pushed forward with great strength. This result shocked Ji Jie.
Although the explosive power of gunpowder is limited and cannot be compared with TNT, C4 and the like in modern society, more than ten kilograms of black gunpowder is enough to blow up a house, but when faced with a solid row of cars, there is nothing you can do.
The platoon car seemed simple, but it had such tenacious combat effectiveness. Ji Jie had to admire Li Mu's military creativity once again.
But so what, Zhao Jun could only rush to the edge of the moat, and then he would have to use the most traditional method of setting up ladders to attack the city. Not to mention the boxes of thunderbolts stacked behind the wall, even if there were only ordinary
Bows and arrows can also stop them outside the wall.
Han Chuang admired Li Mu so much that he received an order last night to stop digging tunnels. He was still puzzled at that time, but now he finally understands, why dig tunnels when there are such good siege weapons?
"Marshal Li, the soldiers hiding in the platoon are not ordinary soldiers, right?" Han Chuang asked with a smile.
Li Mu nodded and said: "I have equipped each of them with a bronze shield to resist shrapnel attacks! Each of them has a hand crossbow. There is also a foldable ladder hidden in the car. As long as it is placed on the city wall, even if they go down
Throwing logs and stones will not help!"
As long as they can scale the city wall, more troops can take advantage of the melee between the two sides to join in, seize a section of the city wall and then seize the city gate.
"Stop shooting!" Ji Jie saw that the Thunderbolt and the Sky-shattering Cannon could not harm the platoon of vehicles, so he promptly issued a stop order. Since the result was this, why waste things.
After a few minutes, a row of vehicles lined up outside the city wall in front. Dozens of sergeants swarmed out, quickly opened the folding ladder and set it up on the city wall. They held a shield in one hand and a crossbow in the other, and started with weapons in their mouths.
Climb up.
"Thunderball, give it to me!" Ji Jie said in a deep voice.
The "small melons" were lit and thrown out one after another, and the crossbowmen also began to fire arrows.
"Boom, boom, boom... clang, clang, clang..."
Li Mu not only equipped these people with better equipment, but also conducted special training for them in the past few days. They reacted quickly. As soon as they saw the thunderbolts landing, they would immediately use the thick bronze shields in their hands to protect them.
direction, and several people around him would cooperate with each other in a tacit understanding, causing shrapnel to hit the shield and fall to the ground one after another.
"Fuck!" Ji Jie cursed regardless of his identity. He threw hundreds of thunder bullets and only got a few lives back. This business was really a big loss.
Ji Jie had an idea and thought, "You know how to adapt and I know how to adapt," and he said loudly: "Cut the fuse of the Sky Cannon short, light it, and throw it down!"
The shortened Sky-shattering Cannon exploded before it even touched the ground. The flying shrapnel made the Zhao soldiers unable to guard against it. The huge explosive force lifted everyone around them, including their shields, into the air. Before their bodies even hit the ground, they were already beaten by the goddess of heaven.
The scattered shrapnel formed a sieve.
"Okay, okay, keep going!" Ji Jie saw that the results were good, and smiled and asked the soldiers to continue throwing down, and at the same time warned them: "Be careful, the crossbows in the hands of those people are not vegetarian!"
Despite the warning, some people were still shot and fell off the city wall.
The death toll of the Zhao army skyrocketed. Li Mu saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. These people were all the best among the best, and they were all brave enough to fight against the enemy. If they could fight the enemy fairly, Zhou Jun would never be his opponent.
But now the Zhou army is using the high city walls as cover, hiding in the wall stacks and firing cold arrows, leaving you with nowhere to use your strength!
The number of casualties has exceeded half. Han Chuang shrugged, and Li Mu gave the difficult order: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!"
Hearing the sound of ringing gold, Zhao soldiers threw down the ladder on the city wall, got back into the row of cars, and retreated to their own position calmly.
Ji Jie watched helplessly as they retreated, staring but unable to do anything.
"Marshal Li, this attack has been thwarted, do you have a way to crack it?" Han Chuang asked.
Li Mu sneered and said, "Of course there is a way. Just wait and see, Deputy Commander Han. Since I can make the soldiers rush to the moat smoothly, I will be able to let them climb the city wall unscathed!"
"That's it, that's it!" Han Chuang started to laugh.
"Generals, listen to my order, withdraw to the camp, and attack the city again the day after tomorrow!"
"Got the order!"
Ji Jie returned to the city and told the three women exactly what happened in the battle. He finally said: "This Li Mu is really difficult to deal with. I left this sentence before leaving. They will attack again the day after tomorrow. I think
He must have thought of a new way and is going back to make preparations!"
Sima Xueran was the first to think of a way to crack the platoon car, and said with a smile: "Brother Jie often said this, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't stop the internal corruption! The upper part of the platoon car and its surroundings are extremely solid.
It's like a turtle with a shell, but its belly isn't as strong, right?"
Ji Xueling and Zhao Qian obviously did not understand the meaning of this sentence, and Ji Jie suddenly realized it.
Yes, the tank's skin is strong enough, but it can't stop the attack of a powerful mine. Even if it can't blow it up, it can at least overturn the iron turtle, let alone these tomb-shell turtles!
Then bury the Thunder and Sky Cannon underground in advance, stand at the top of the city and light the fuses with rockets. No matter how strong the outside of the row of cars is, there will always be no bottom. Even if they can't be blown to pieces, the ones hidden inside
People will never be as strong as it!
"Of course you are so smart, here is a reward!" Ji Jie couldn't help but hugged Sima Xueran and kissed her, not caring that Ji Xueling and Zhao Qian were still here.
Sima Xueran jumped away with a red face and rolled her eyes at him with a charming expression.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare now, and then I'll blow him up to pieces!" Ji Jie rushed to the armory where the shells were stored.
The three women looked at each other and laughed like silver bells at the same time.
On the third day, Zhao Jun appeared outside the south gate as scheduled. This time, he prepared more rows of cars. Four of them were obviously much larger than the others, and the "roof" also changed from one floor to two floors.
It's like a two-story building with a big one on the bottom and a small one on the top.
So what if you are on the eighth floor? Ji Jie arranged for people to bury hundreds of explosive sites outside the city last night, waiting for the train to arrive.
Li Mu looked at the four special-shaped platoon cars with a smile and said to Han Chuang: "This is a platoon car combined with a ladder. Soldiers can climb the ladder directly from the car. The roof ridge on the upper level is to protect the exit of the ladder.
Ji Jie threw a bomb in, haha!"
Han Chuang was taken aback and thought that Li Mu was not only good at fighting, he was also a genius at making siege equipment. He could think of such things, no wonder the people of Qin were quite afraid of him.
Li Mu was full of confidence, drew his sword and shouted: "Attack, we must capture Zhaocheng today. After the city is defeated, we will reward you based on your merits!"
The Zhao soldiers followed suit by shouting, and the platoon of vehicles began to move forward.
