Chapter 408: The platform opposite the building, siege the city without worry
There is very little boiling oil. Such precious oil is not only used for boiling oil attacks, but also for making a small number of rockets and maintaining weapons. The supply of oil is always in short supply in Xiangyang City.
This is why the generals in the city will not pull out the boiling oil and use it until the critical moment.
The amount of oil consumed by boiling oil is too much. Moreover, when boiling oil attacks the enemy, it must be kept hot. It will definitely not cause damage to the enemy casually.
There is a time limit for repeated heating of boiling oil. A barrel of oil will become cold after being left on the tower for a short time. Once it is cold, it will be useless.
It still needs to be heated, this is not a waste of time.
Therefore, when Liang Cheng ordered the soldiers to pull out the boiling oil, it showed that he had believed that Xiangyang City had reached its most dangerous moment!
"Wait for the Jin thieves' infantry to climb into the air, then pour boiling oil on them, and pour them hard on me!"
Liang Cheng on the city gritted his teeth, waiting to give the Jin army a taste of the smooth sailing, while the Jin army below the city, under the leadership of Liu Laozhi, were all in place.
Although the arrows from the tower never stopped for a moment, and many of the soldiers guarding the chariot were injured, fortunately, the commander-in-chief Xie Xuan had already anticipated such a situation.
At the beginning, he sent out several times more soldiers than those who actually needed to board the vehicles, in order to have enough soldiers to board the city after several attrition.
After experiencing many obstacles, the brothers of the Jin army finally stood at the foot of Xiangyang City with their huge chariots.
It's really not as good as not knowing, and it's shocking when you compare it.
The brothers in the Jin army raised their heads and sighed.
Our car in Beifu is really too big!
So damn big!
Let’s not talk about the building, let’s just talk about the toad cart. Although there is no vertical ladder to support it, when the toad cart stopped at the base of the city wall, the soldiers of Beifu had a real feeling.
It is no exaggeration to say that the height of the toad cart is as high as the Xiangyang City Gate!
In other words, it is about one-third as high as the Xiangyang City Wall!
Think about it, if you stand on such a chariot and use various weapons to attack upwards, what kind of blow will you give to the evil beasts of Di and Qin on the tower?
The Beifu soldiers immediately became excited. Without Liu Laozhi's orders, the soldiers had already boarded the carriage and picked up their weapons.
At the same time, right in front of the Di Qin soldiers, the top cover of the toad cart quickly popped open, and then what?
Countless soldiers jumped out of the gaps in the lid!
"General Liang!"
"Look!"
"There's someone in the car!"
The chariot never reached the predetermined position, and Liang Cheng also retreated to the tower to rest temporarily. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, he poked his head out of the flower window.
"impossible!"
"How is this possible?"
There were not only people in the Jin army's tanks, but also many people. A steady stream of soldiers jumped out of the tanks, and some remained in the tanks.
They held spears and swords in their hands, and most of them were relying on huge chariots to attack the Qin soldiers.
Although the toad cart was big and tall, it was still a certain distance away from Xiangyang City Tower. The Beifu soldiers were skilled in combat and had already thought of this problem before they even stopped at the gate.
"Di Qin evil beast, please die!"
The soldiers raised their long bows and swords and pointed them all under the car. The Qin soldiers were chasing up from the car. When they saw the uniform movements of the Beifu soldiers and the murderous intent in their eyes, they stopped immediately.
What are these people going to do?
"They... aren't they going to the city?"
"Why are you calling us?"
Before the Qin soldiers were injured, they had already dropped their weapons and ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Where to run!"
"Look at the arrow!"
Before the Qin soldiers could run far away, the Beifu soldiers' arrow clusters had already flown towards them. The arrow shafts were seen making a gorgeous and graceful gesture in mid-air, as if they were being pulled by silk threads as they flew towards the target.
A bunch of soul-chasing arrows, arrows taking lives!
Uh uh uh……
The arrow clusters found their targets, and the Qin soldiers who fled in panic finally found their destination. Most of them were hit by arrows in the back. Before they could turn around, they were hit by the arrow clusters and fell to the ground.
.
Screams came from their mouths, and blood dripped from their backs.
"Just die like that?"
"I can't help but fight!" The soldiers of Beifu stood on the toad cart and looked with disdain at the Qin soldiers who threw themselves down.
The arrogant Qin soldiers turned out to be nothing more than that!
Dead is dead, no need to give another look, the Beifu soldiers immediately set their sights in a further direction.
Over there, the Qin soldiers' infantry were still as densely packed as little ants.
These people also need to be taught a lesson and must not be lenient!
"Soldiers to climb the city, prepare!" The soldiers on the toad cart were either offensive or defensive. They had already had relatively standardized training, so Liu Laozhi didn't need to worry anymore.
He moved his position further forward and came directly to the foot of Xiangyang City.
Liu Laozhi gave an order, and the Beifu soldiers quickly gathered. This time, their target was the opposite building.
At this point, the opposite building cannot officially function, and there is still one final step before it can go into battle to kill the enemy.
Under the protection of the infantry archers in front, the soldiers jumped onto the chariot at the bottom of the building. Then they worked in teams of two and took out a ladder. This ladder was not meant to be placed under the city wall. The soldiers moved the ladder
Carrying it on the shoulders, it is different from the toad cart facing the stairs. Originally, there was a ladder installed on the cart.
The soldiers put the ladder they took out on the vertical ladder, and with a click, it fit tightly and was stable.
In this way, a horizontal ladder is fastened directly on top of a pair of vertical ladders. The vertical ladder is like a bracket, supporting the horizontal ladder.
The base of the opposite building is modified from a toad cart, and its height is the same as that of the toad cart. Together with the erected ladder, it can be said that the height of the opposite building is almost the same as the lower edge of the Xiangyang Tower!
"What are they going to do?"
"Want to come up?"
Liang Cheng discovered the Jin army's attempt and hurriedly shouted: "Quick!"
"Fire the arrow quickly!"
In a hurry, Liang Cheng actually threw aside his favorite weapon, the boiling oil, and only urged the soldiers to fire arrows as hard as they could.
At the bottom of the city tower, Liu Lao gave an order, and the soldiers climbed up the horizontal ladder along the vertical ladder. At this time, the battle to climb the city in Xiangyang officially began!
The Beifu soldiers quickly climbed up the horizontal ladder, and before the Qin soldiers noticed, the Jin army had parked their toad chariots two in a row at the foot of Xiangyang City.
Each of the two vehicles has a pair of vertical ladders. The soldiers skillfully placed the horizontal ladder between the two vehicles and locked it with the groove of the vertical ladder.
In this way, a temporary small platform is formed between the two tanks.
Although a soldier was not tall in stature, he was as agile as a monkey. He was the first to climb the ladder ahead of his comrades!
ah!
The air at high places is so fresh!
The soldier took a sharp breath, and his whole body became stiff.
"Brothers, follow me!"
He shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him followed suit and jumped onto the horizontal ladder. Of course, the Qin soldiers on the tower would not sit still and wait for death. The bows and arrows had already been summoned. The soldiers from the Beifu cooperated with each other tacitly, and some held up their shields.
The people above were protected, and some fired bows and arrows, but they did not give the Qin soldiers on the city any good fruits to eat.
Arrow after arrow was shot out, almost all hitting the target.
