When Yue Fei and others came to the city wall, they saw mobile fortresses rushing to the bottom of the city wall. Sharp arrows kept shooting down, but they were all blocked by the turtle shell-like things. Looking down from the city wall, it was like
Like a giant hedgehog.
"What the hell is this?" Huang Feihu frowned as he looked at the mobile fortress without any reaction under the rain of arrows.
The principle is not difficult to guess, it can even be said to be quite simple!
In fact, just from the appearance, you can tell that this thing actually has no technical content! It is like building a mobile wooden house for people, and this wooden house is slightly thick.
Someone threw fire oil cans from the city wall to ignite them, but the effect was not very good. The Xuzhou Army took some simple fire prevention measures and put a thick layer of soil on the surface of these wooden boards.
Moreover, the wooden armor was too thick. Even if it was barely ignited, the people inside would be fine for a while, and they were quite scattered. Many wooden houses even had siege ladders under them. When they reached the bottom of the city wall, the arrow rain was not good.
In the covered area, quickly dismantle the siege ladder and set it up on the city wall to start siege.
And right behind these, huge battering rams were also pushed up.
Under the continuous bombardment, even Yue Fei and Huang Feihu could feel the city wall shaking slightly.
"Use a catapult!" Yue Fei ordered without moving.
However, Yue Fei had some doubts about the effect that the trebuchet could have.
Although these wooden houses are quite large in size and can even be said to be very large, they are extremely scattered. As for the trebuchet, his accuracy is really not satisfactory.
Moreover, the trebuchet has an attack distance limit. If it is close to a certain distance from the city wall, it will become a blind corner for the trebuchet. Once these wooden houses are rushed to a certain distance from the city wall, the trebuchet's effect will also be blocked.
Weakened to a minimum.
Yue Fei could tell at a glance that these things should be temporarily built in response to their strong attack. Although they seemed to have little technical content, for the battlefield, these were not important at all, as long as they were practical enough.
"Roll the wood and thunder stone!" Yue Fei continued to order.
If strong bows and crossbows have no effect, then just smash these junk things into a pile of junk.
However, even if a stone or rolling log is thrown down, because there are more than a dozen people supporting the wooden shell, the huge force cannot destroy it immediately.
"Grand Governor, I'm afraid there's something supporting the wooden armor underneath, and it's not human support!" Du Yu said thoughtfully.
Among the states controlled by Li Xiang, Jingbei's civil and military lineup is definitely the best.
In addition to Yue Fei, the chief governor, and Wu Qi, the deputy governor, there is also Li Mu, a god-level commander. In addition, Li Si and Zhang Liang also serve in Jingbei
Counting down further, there are Xie An, Xie Xuan, Zhuge Liang, Tan Daoji, Yu Yunwen, Du Yu, Huang Feihu, Qin Qiong, Yu Qian... there are so many famous generals who have reached a certain level. Either these people are generals in the Jingzhou Army system,
Otherwise, because of his contribution to the previous battle, he directly became the governor of the place.
In addition to these, there are also senior generals in the navy such as Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong.
Even though Wu Qi took away some of his troops, the lineup here is still strong!
"Grand Governor, if this continues, sooner or later the city gate will be blown open by them!" Huang Feihu also frowned.
After all, Fuhan County is just a small county, not a strong city like Wancheng. Although it has been temporarily reinforced to a certain extent, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of the Xuzhou Army below.
"Stop shooting." Yue Fei pointed to the turtle shells below and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop shooting arrows there.
Of course, just by not continuing to shoot arrows at those turtle shells, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army who came up through the siege ladder had to continue to serve them as they should.
Those turtle shells are almost full of arrows. If you continue to shoot now, it is a waste of arrows. In fact, this is not only a waste, it can even be equivalent to giving arrows to the enemy for free.
If he continues to send arrows to the enemy for free, maybe in a few years, a story called "Wooden Armor Borrows Arrows" with you and Yue Fei as the protagonist will be born.
"Tell someone to throw the caltrops down for me." Yue Fei, who was thinking hard, suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, and immediately ordered to Du Yu.
Tribulus is a kind of iron spiked spreading obstacle used by ancient Chinese military. It is also called Tribulus. It has 4 protruding iron thorns, several inches long. Whenever it touches the ground, there is a thorn pointing upward. The tip of the thorn is like a herbaceous plant.
"Tribulus". Spreading iron caltrops on the ground can be used to delay the enemy's movements.
Even if the Xuzhou Army hides in those turtle shells, the legs of the soldiers huddled inside are still touching the ground. As long as their feet are still touching the ground, there is still a way to restrain them.
"Yes!" Du Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly figured out the key. He quickly ordered people to move out the caltrops. This was originally used to delay the enemy's movements, but it was suitable at this moment.
Soon, hundreds of soldiers came up carrying large boxes, opened the boxes, and without looking carefully, poured the iron caltrops in the boxes under the city wall.
Those iron caltrops fell on the wooden shell and bounced directly. They rolled twice on the ground and were immediately nailed to the ground. The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army in the wooden armor were unable to see them due to their limited vision. They stepped on them without knowing it.
, the sharp thorn directly penetrated the top of the foot. The Xuzhou Army soldiers who were caught off guard rolled up in pain holding their feet, and escaped from the protection of the wooden shell.
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, many people laughed at Liu Bei for weaving mats and selling shoes, but little did they know that in such troubled times, even a pair of straw sandals was a very precious thing, and these big-headed soldiers could
What to wear?
This foot shines directly on the caltrops, and the sour taste at the end can be imagined. The things they wear on their feet have no protective effect at all. It is no different from having a foreign nail stuck in their feet.
Moreover, after such a trip, the soldier was basically cold. The maintenance of the caltrops was not very thorough. It is normal to have some rust on it. It is even more normal for the wound to become inflamed soon after being injured.
Therefore, although they are minor injuries, they may not necessarily have fatal consequences in the end.
